have, the more energy you have. Especially the things want to have attention from our consciousness. Too much things absorb energy again and thus attention. Being is the timeless condition here and now. Everything that is here, is now. Life is manifested in the now. To live life as conscious as possible, that is my meaning of life. I relinquish some things. I eat less meat. At least as little as possible and as much as necessary.
I live for years with as less luggage as possible. There are phases, when I have more or less. I came across the term minimalism some weeks ago. I carry constant ballast with me. I have hardly material ballast. I have rather emotional ballast. I try to order my stuff and my thoughts now.
I am mucking out old stuff for weeks. I have donated clothes. I sold books and movies. I sorted out old documents. I deleted many photos, in total 6 gigabyte. I deleted my profiles in social networks. It consumed too much time. I have deleted my accounts at internet shops, which wanted to entice me into consuming always more. I have cancelled my memberships in clubs, because I did not use its offers any longer. I cancelled a magazine subscription. I cancelled old insurance contracts. I cancelled my bank accounts. And I gave much broken stuff into the waste containers.
I am on the path to simplify my life. I would like to spend more time in nature. Living simple, plain, and calmly. I spent one night in the forest. It was something new, just having a few things around me. And still, I had everything necessary to survive. I feel comfortable with less stuff around me. This leads me to more clarity of the perception of consciousness. I try to release me from the chains of past. To have less stuff means to me, to have more time to live consciously. Above all to enjoy the here and now in the nature.
I philosophize about my lifestyle. I face the following challenges in order to expand my comfort zone.
I take a shower with cold water for 7 days.
I sleep on the ground for 14 days.
I walk barefoot for seven days for 15 minutes daily.
I relinquish the internet for seven days.
I challenge myself, to leave the bubble of restrictive concepts. It was tough at the beginning. Since then I got used to the small big change in my lifestyle. I want to live more natural. Not so far away from nature. Feeling the hot sun. Listening to the raging wind. Tasting the cold water. Touching the smooth sand. Just irresistible! And with that not to forget the conscious breathing. The small steps provoke the greatest changes.
Here is my report of experiences, to amplify my comfort zone.
FIRST CHALLENGE
I take a shower with ice-cold water. At first I had to get used to it a lot. I took a shower for quite some time, because the water was really cold. It is such a great feeling. I am awake and full of energy. My conclusion: From now on I take a shower only with cold water.
SECOND CHALLENGE
I sleep on the ground. I could hardly sleep the first night. This has clearly improved. I do not need a blanket. I do not need a pillow. Now I can imagine a life without a bed. Wait a second! I would just have an empty room. Wait and see. The beds until now were always too soft for me. Now I realize that I can sleep very well on hard ground. My conclusion: I sleep now on the ground. Forever? I do not know. In any case I do it as long as I like it.
THIRD CHALLENGE
Walking barefoot. I like to walk barefoot on the beach. Can I do it in everyday life too? I walked barefoot on short ways. I was walking on grounds like grass and stone. It is exciting to gain new experiences. It is like a massage for the food. It is pleasant to walk on soft grass. At first I had to get used to the hard ground of stone. I feel good, when the ground is different. It is a good experience. Now I go barefoot more frequently. I do not have the goal, to walk barefoot in every season of the year. Maybe it develops itself towards this direction. Who knows? On one hand I am calm because of the experiences I made. On the other hand I am curious, what life still has to offer.
FOURTH CHALLENGE
I am offline for one week. I think it is quite easy. I discover very fast, that I am online for many hours. And that every day. And that for years. Thus I am addicted to be always online. I am not able to disconnect myself. I listen to music online. I watch videos online. I am connected with internet from morning to night. That is enough. Now I perceive other things. I have suddenly so much time without internet. I do not need music, movies, or videos. This program is there all day. I feel the moment in its diversity. Without distractions. Simply being here and now. To relax. To enjoy. To move. Simply being natural. My conclusion: Maybe I cannot relinquish the internet for always, because I get some inspirations from the tube as well. I use the internet consciously. Especially I like the stillness, when I am offline now and then.
Okay! Those were my four challenges. I hope the one or the other takes on the challenges of life. Thus to live more freely and to amplify the comfort zone.
The computer specialist has left the chat room. He informed me, that he is doing immediately a sabbatical year. Without internet.
4. BLESSED MEAL
A woman enters the field.
I am tired.
She presents herself as the ecotrophologist.
She bombards me with many questions.
How is your nutrition? Which vitamins do you take? How do you get the nutrients? How much calories do you consume daily? How often do you eat during the day? How many litres do you drink daily? Do you drink water carbonated or still? Do you drink out of plastic bottles or glass bottles? Do you drink coffee? Do you drink tea? Do you eat chocolate? Do you eat meat? Et cetera, et cetera.
I have already dealt with all questions somehow.
I search in my documents. I discover an article, which I have written some month ago.
I hand over the article to the ecotrophologist.
She receives the article with enthusiasm. She reads through the article. She is confused now. Why? Read and listen the article with your own eyes and ears. You will find it out.
Here is the article SUN.
4.1 SUN
Everything is light, nothing is darkness. There is just the decision, whether we are everything in light, or whether we are nothing in darkness. The fact, that you are reading these lines, signifies, that I come from the light. This is a calm thought.
I have studied the different eating habits of man for some time. I have realized some points, which I would like to describe here. I am referring to the following types of nutrition: Nutrition with meat, nutrition without meat, nutrition with raw food, nutrition of sunlight. And all different types of nutrition between them. I think these extreme forms of nutrition are ridiculous. There is no correct diet. That, which has universal validity for everyone and for always. Whom who wants to nourish himself consciously, listens to his body, to his mind, and to his soul.
Here are some points which apply for all kinds of diets. I am not a medical practitioner. I do not give advice, what you have to eat or not. I am simply. I feel simply. I just want to show, which points helped me and could be useful for others. You have the responsibility almost always of your diet.
