After
finishing the first part of this website in the beginning of 2009, I went to Goa, India. It happened so many
times in my life, but still it is always amazing how energies of a
certain frequency find each other. Or in much simpler words: likes
meet likes.
Floating in the nice warm seawater, I bumped into a woman. We
started talking and it turned out that our chairs on the beach were
next to each other.
Old
souls immediately recognize each other and it has been wonderful
sharing so many things together with Thi in the weeks I stayed in
Goa.
I told
her about my website and with her iphone we could look at it
together at the beach. She showed me also her website:
Infinite Goddess
I
invited her to write for my spiritual journeys website what she
immediately did. And I am very happy with what she wrote, because it
connects perfectly with that I had already written.
A
common theme in several stories about embarking on a spiritual
quest is that there comes a moment in your life that you
question yourself: “is this all?” Mostly at the moment
that you have it all on the physical plane. Without a moment of
hesitation or looking back the courageous ones will start their
journey. An enlightening example is the story of the Buddha, who
left his palace where he had it all.
I
don’t know what makes the difference but a certain category will
go without a moment of hesitation on this spiritual quest when
they hear this inner calling. Mostly leaving everything behind
them, which anyhow doesn’t have any significance for them
anymore. Others don‘t and become depressed, get a burnout, heart
attack etc. Why some beings know this for sure and others not?
Is this the decisive moment where the soul can take it over and
will guide you further on your quest?
The
story of Thi is a beautiful illustration of this knowing for
sure. The rewards are immense: so many treasures to discover on
your endless journey.
We are at a pivotal point in
Mother Earth's timeline. We are coming upon a critical hour
where our consciousness must, and I repeat, MUST make a
major leap forward. There is no way around it.
Thi’s spiritual journey is a fine example
of welcoming the challenges of life. Spiritual practice (Sadhana,
meditation) will connect you with the Source. Then the Source
will decide where your potential is. You can relax at the
Source, and it will take you to your very potential, expressed
in spiritual excellence.
Spiritual excellence is simply becoming
more Godlike, allowing Supreme Consciousness of the Supreme Self
to radiate from within and to manifest on this plane called
Earth. There is nothing greater, there is nothing more
beautiful. How abstract and how profound. And it exists within.
Are you ready to go within and radiate your light and touch your
Spiritual excellence?
Who is the
One that created me? Where is He or She? The Divine Creator
is everywhere and yet no where. There exists so many Sufi
and Rumi poems that describe the Divine in this elusive way.
About 4 years ago, I had this thought that If the One that
created will take care of me, then I place my trust in the
One. Of course, I did my part to show up and be present, but
instead of all the intense planning and strategizing, I
relaxed into the knowingness that each moment was perfect
and that things do show up at the perfect time and space.
Today 7-7-2009 is GuruPurnima. A day we celebrate the
blessed beings who has come to this planet to guide us.
Guru means to lead us from darkness (ignorance) to light
(enlightenment). And this beautiful expose: Sailing the seas of changeis a perfect example of this.
Thi paints in vivid colors the great shift in
consciousness from being occupied with our limited
selves to serving the whole. She answers the question:
What does this seemingly chaotic world needs the
most?
What I really like about Thi is here unique
combination of profound spirituality and down to
earth practicality. She really lives her
spirituality, instead of only talking about it.
The following article is a striking example of
this:
Female view on the position of the women in India by
Thi Hoang.
Thi Hoang is a woman from Vietnam, who has
extensively travelled through many countries.
She shares here her vision about the position of the
Indian women and gives suggestions to improve the
situation.
(Published on my India
website)
Thi is also
involved with
the rock opera JUNK
based on the music of a Swedish
band called Brainpool.
She has been the original investor
and executive producer. This project has been four years in the
making.
It reminds me of Hair, because the ‘leitmotif’ is
the same.
