It is true that we are blessed if there are people who protect us in the rooms that we are not in.  Who believe in us, who know, love and trust us. 

And I feel most proud of myself when I am able to do it.  And sometimes for people who are no longer among us in this world.

To Hope, To Wish, To Endure

I also, like so many more, want to believe that the goodness will prevail in this world of ours.

Yet, though it is hard to see, good people seem to suffer more, the wicked seem to win, the unloving, the uncaring, the ruthless, the merciless seem to get even more brutal and bold, and the gentle majority seem to live with the pain of being treated unjustly.

It is kind of sad how the loving and peaceful world that we hoped for still seems to be the wish of the younger ones who are facing a seemingly even more cruel world.

Let me get the record straight, I am not a pessimist at all. On the contrary, I believe that behind the seeming chaos of life, there is an order that supports good intentions.  This belief of mine is not only about the trust in the divine without a bias for a certain religion, but more of a belief in the unproved and for me the tested by time rules of the universe which at its own timing favors the good and just. With hindsight, this all is very true to me; the hard to endure part is the 'divine', the 'earthly and cosmic' timing.

The instinctive reaction to being faced with injustices is to retaliate. For many of us.  It takes a lot of courage, compassion and patience to endure the desire to reciprocate the cruelty.  If one gives in to that desire, the innately kind and loving suffer even more.  Therefore, for the true believers in goodness, there is no other way that being true to their heart and soul which want and desperately try to believe in kindness. 

No one truly knows what the after life is like if there is one; yet, for those who are able to do no harm and succeed in staying honest and loving, the gift is a peaceful heart and soul from having won an indescribable inner war.

May life protect all of those who are pure in heart.

A Song

And, yes, like so many have done before, it is possible to fall in love with a song...

Love

Once in a while we will see an old couple walk hand in hand will a calm and sweet demeanor that feels as if time has stopped or was they are forever flowing or they shine with a different brightness regardless of their age, something different that we become aware of them, even when they are just walking slowly in front of us. 

At those magical times, we are probably witnessing something extra special.  

A time of witnessing two parts of a soul meeting as a couple in this lifetime.  

Though some of us may have experienced that in the pages of our past, some of us still are to discover that special feeling of belonging and love.

May life give us many joyful chances to discover happiness and love. 

What Would Love Do Now?

I have been away from Fethiye almost since December. I came for a few days on and off, but I really missed it and missed my friends here. Still, I have a lot of catching up to do. By the way, currently I am back in Istanbul for a project on Life Coaching. Actually, I came back to Istanbul today with a morning flight. I flew with Pegasus Airlines for the first time. And also I used the Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Istanbul for the first time as well. I am amazed to see that London now has four airports, and having a second one was definitely needed in Istanbul. However, I have a feeling this second airport will turn out to be too small for the city’s growing needs for air travel.

Well, back to Fethiye. I was talking with some friends about my trip to Japan this year in May. That trip has been like a Tibetian bowl in my life. I can still feel its influence, its vibration in my life. I am also trying to understand why I feel this connected to this country…

What makes us connected to a place?

What makes us feel close to, to like, to love a place, a country, a person?

It is about culture, language, or appearances?

Is it about being similar or different?

What are the underlying factors?

What are the reasons, if any?
…

Fethiye is a place that I am really drawn to. There are other cities and towns that I have been to tens of times and I do not feel a similar connection with those places.
I also feel a very close connection with Japan, more than many of the countries that I have been to so many times.

Why?

Well, there are different answers:
My bio-energy teacher Moshe Abudaram says that sometimes the land, the energy of the physical land may call a person, to complete what is taking place there. Maybe that is why although distant healing works beautifully in many cases, sometimes healer needs to be physically close to the person in need of the healing.
What does this really mean

This can mean several things. First of all, those of you who might have read “The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield know that energies of groups of people come together at certain times at certain places to create a higher energy field. A person’s presence might be needed for the formation of such a circle. A circle of two or many. Second, either the person might need the energy of the land or the land might need the energy of that person. And this could be needed for many different reasons.

Of course, there is also the topic of previous life times. One of my friends is going to the US to attend a workshop by the famous psychiatrist Brian Weiss. I also wanted to go; yet I have been travelling so much in the last few months that I felt I needed stay this time. Brian Weiss is a must read for those who are interested in regressions and hypnotherapy.

There is a lot more happening energetically than we seem to be aware of. Also, to be aware of the energy exchanges that take place between people everyday have a look at James Redfield’s books. Also, the movie of the book “The Celestine Prophecy” is out, by the same name. I really do recommend watching it.

Neale Donald Walsch in his book “Conversations with God” writes:
“Do what you love to do and nothing else. Make a life. Otherwise that is a dying.”
And there is also a powerful question that he uses and that I also use when things get difficult. And with that question I would like to leave you this week.
The question is: “What would love do now?”

I wish all of you the best.
With love,
Zeynep
