May be love and peace on earth. Anyone who is enlightened, can see and feel God. He lives in God. He sees God as a kind of light that penetrates the entire world. He feels God as an energy aro und him and within him. He feels God as inner happiness, inner peace and inner s trength. He realizes that he is in a higher truth, which can also be described a s universal love. Wikipedia (de): Enlightenment refers to a religious and spiritual experience in which the everyday consciousness is exceeded and a special insight into a lastin g, like some sort of holistic reality is obtained. Wikipedia: Mysticism is the knowledge of, and especially the personal experience of, states of consciousness, or levels of being, or aspects of reality, beyond normal human perception, including experience of and even communion with a supre me being. (...) The present meaning of the term mysticism arose via Platonism an d Neoplatonism (...) and is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or con scious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God throu gh direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight. Mysticism usually centers on practices intended to nurture those experiences. Mysticism may be dualistic, maintaining a distinction between the self and the divine, or may be nondualisti c. Many if not all of the world's great religions have arisen around the teachin gs of mystics (including Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tze, and Krishna); and most religiou s traditions describe fundamental mystical experience. Religion will lead to enlightenment Spiritual enlightenment means to obtain a deep insight into the purpose of all t hings, to understand the mind of God, or to achieve a fundamentally changed leve l of existence whereby one's self is experienced as a nonchanging field of pure consciousness. Mysticism is the awareness of God through direct experience. Realize that every true religion is based on the experience of enlightenment of its founder: the Judaism of Moses, Christianity of Jesus, Buddhism of Buddha, Hi nduism of many enlightened. The center of a religion is enlightenment. Moses was enlightened, as he saw a shining (burning) bush after many years of a secluded life in the desert. He saw the light of God in the bush. Jesus became enlightene d, after John the Baptist gave him the Enlightenment energy (kundalini energy). After this Jesus meditated 40 days in the desert. Then the devil (his ego) left him and the angels ministered to him (he was able to help with the enlightenment

energy his fellow human beings). Buddha got enlightenment after six years as a yogi under the Bodhi tree. Mara (the devil) disappeared and Buddha rested in hap piness. There are different conceptions of God within the same religion Moses has in contrast to Jesus, an abstract concept of God. In his central defin ition Moses describes God as: "I am." These words refer to God as a happy state of being which one experiences in the enlightenment. In the words "I am" the roy al road to enlightenment is mentioned. Man must develop a cosmic consciousness. He loses the sense of his self (ego). He experiences himself as pure consciousne ss, as one with everything and can say only, "I am." He can not say: "I am the . .. (name)." He identifies himself with everything. In yoga it is called Sat-Chit -Ananda, the compound from being, unity and bliss. God can be described personal and impersonal God is a mystery that can be described personal and impersonal. In Judaism, Chri stianity and Islam God is seen as an acting person. God is a supreme being, whic h can be addressed as a person and asked for help. Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism (Chinese philosophy) prefere the abstract concept of God. God is higher energy and a state of being. Although both definitions of God can be found in every maj or religion, one can still say Christianity is more commonly associated with the personal concept whereas Hinduism is more connected to the abstract point of vi ew. For this reason, many conflicts and misunderstandings have been encountered by the followers of the aforementioned religions. Each side claims to possess th e real understanding of God. Amma built a bridge between the religions Amritanandamayi A significant gap among the religions has been bridged by Mata Amritanandamayi ( Amma). Amma is to date the main representative of Hinduism in the West. Accordin g to Amma, there is a great enlightened force composed of fully enlightened soul s. This force possesses a cosmic consciousness which is at one with the cosmos ( with God) and with one another. One could view this as a mass of souls who see t hemselves as one, or a mass of souls who view one another as friends. According to Amma, a prayer is always heard and reacted to or upon by one of the se higher beings. It doesnt matter what name humans use in the process, whether i t be Allah, God, Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, or Odin, it is all the same. The only p oint of importance is that the person praying would like help from a higher forc e in the cosmos. God is often described as a cloud in Christianity. This image goes well with the idea of the aforementioned great enlightened force of souls.We could consider t hese souls as an energy cloud of highly developed consciousness. They are capabl e of affecting every dimension of the cosmos with beams of light. This often tra nspires via symbols such as books, images, and statues which appear in certain l ocations. More spiritually developed humans are able to sense these beams of ene rgy which emanate symbolically through the statues and images. People can focus and turn this energy into inner power, peace, or positive thoughts. The positive force helps everyone who calls out to it. The mass of enlightened s ouls do not always help us exactly as we imagine or would like. The main goal of this enlighened force of souls is to wake up other souls to the higher power an d to build a blissful cosmos. When an individual seeks cosmic bliss and enlighte nment and peace for all, then such prayers are answered without reservation. It is good to live in God. It is better to be enlightened than not to be. To long f or enlightenment is the deeper meaning of life. We should each go about our ulti mate spiritual goal in the best way for each of us. Ulla meets God Nils: Good day, dear Ulla! Can you tell me something about your life? Ulla: When I was sent to Sunday school, I liked to listen to the stories of Jesu s. Then followed a long period of spiritual sleep, how I would describe it today . I had several friends, but always felt it was not the right man. Until I got a

man, with whom I had over 30 years of a desperate relationship. On the one hand , I always wanted to get away from him because he was doing me no good. On the o ther hand, I was not able to do it. But this negative relationship was at least the advantage that I got interested in religion. As my husband always went to be d early, I was still on long and I busied myself with the various religions. I p rayed to God since my childhood. God or Goddess? I wanted to know. I went on a fantastic meditation. I wanted to meet the goddess in a clearing! I imagined how I went to a little house through a garden with flowers. I walked a beautiful forest trail along until I came to t he clearing. There I waited for the goddess! This meditation, I did with a wunde rfull meditation music. The meditation became independent. The road rose gradually, without being burden some, and the vegetation was lost. As I looked around me there was suddenly left and right of way only emptiness. When I went higher, I saw before me a bright l ight. As I approached this wonderful, warm light, I saw a Greek statue of a deit y. I went to this wonderful bright, love-emitting light, and asked simply, "So t here is not a goddess?" The light being turned to me, changed his form and I loo ked at my own face. I suddenly knew that God bears within himself the female, ma le, and everything else. I realized that each of us is a tiny part of God. God w ants nothing more than to re-unite with us. But we must be like God, full of lov e and selflessness. And this is often a long way. I was overcome with such a wonderful warmth, such a deep love and peace, that I would always prefer to stay with God. But unfortunately, I was then quickly brou ght back to my body. I found no rest and always wanted to come back to God. I me ditate every night and was very unhappy that it did not work. Then suddenly I ha d found the path again, but I saw a lot of branching paths. I realized that one should always be carefully on his way to not fall back again. And then I heard a voice in my heart, who said: "Why do you spend unnecessary time to see me again ? Live your life and be happy and make others happy, then you have done a lot?" Since that day my life changed completely. I have no more fears, can see into th e hearts of the people, do not have a husband anymore, no more house, no money a nd I am completely happy. The religion of the future Nils Ulla: What is about the reformation of the church? Nils: However, it must honestly say that the Evangelical Church has implemented all the reforms called for by the Catholic Church and in spite of that is suffer ing from great loss of members. The main problem is the loss of faith in today's world. Ulla: Yes, people no longer believe. Nils: The Pope also pointed this out. Unfortunately he has no remedy for this. Ulla: For both of us it's easy! Nils: We combine science with real experience of God, and humor. This should be the belief of the future. Ulla: Yes. Nils: I think that more and more people will find this way. Simply because it is the way of today's scientific thinking time. Ulla: This is also my hope. Nils: What is the center of the faith? After Jesus love for God and love of the neighbor (all beings). I interpret this statement by Jesus, that love for God is the love to the spiritual goal (to the spiritual practice, to oneself). The lov e of the neighbor includes the path of universal love, the love of the poor (suf fering) and building up a happy world. Compassion and suffering with others Ulla: I just talked with a girlfriend about the difficult subject of pity and co mpassion. Nils: Compassion is an important spiritual quality. Ulla: Her sister always makes the same mistake again, to take the same kind of m

an that is not doing her well. Nils: Learning from mistakes is good. This creates wisdom. Ulla: My girlfriend empathizes too much with her sister. Nils: Man / woman must be able to delimit oneself from the suffering of others. Otherwise one gets broken. Ulla: Yes, I told her so. Nils: Buddha taught to live in the balance of serenity and compassion. Ulla: Compassion is good. Pity is not good. Nils: I do not like to separate between compassion and pity. I also sometimes su ffer with the suffering people. But I can always rebuild myself and bring me int o the inner balance. Ulla: Some things can not solve. This must be recognized. Nils: It is not good for anyone if you get sick out of compassion. Ulla: Right! Nils: Formerly I could not delimit well enough from the suffering of others. A w ife in my positive thinking group had cancer. I was very taken. Ulla: I understand that. So is my girlfriend now. Nils: It's an art to maintain the right balance. I manage it through meditation and positive thinking. It is important always listen to your inner voice. I call it the voice of wisdom. Wisdom to me is the connection between mind and inner f eelings. It is important to me always to be in good contact with myself. Talk about the efficacy of prayer Rafa (atheist): You write: "The enlightened masters have said that prayer is imp ortant." I demand arguments! I believe that prayer doesnt logically make sense. D o you now have understandable arguments against it? Nils: When the enlightened masters say something, that is an argument for me. Du e to their larger horizon they see more than we do. But that does not replace yo ur own reflection. My way is to anchor myself primarily in my own wisdom. I note : There is enlightenment. If there is enlightenment, there are also enlightened masters. We can imagine them as huge clouds of subtle consciousness energy. God is often pictured sitting on a cloud. This subtle energy is associated with feel ings of peace, love, strength, happiness and clarity. An enlightened one can sen d his energy to other people. If a man needs strength, peace, love, happiness or wisdom (positive thoughts), an enlightened person can give it to him through th e higher cosmic dimension. I have experienced this many times. The basic problem now is that the greater the enlightenment, the stronger is the energy, but unfortunately the enlightened becomes more and more inactive. His i nner peace and happiness are at a certain level is so much that he has little in terest to act externally. He lives desireless in the great desirelessness (in ex istence). He is perfectly happy with his life in God. Epicurus sees the gods (en lightened) as completely at rest in themselves, who do not care about the world. And therefore prayer is important. Without prayer, the great trancendent master s remain rather inactive. If we call the enlightened ones with a prayer, then th ey can act. Their love enables them to act externally in spite of their inner pe ace . It is good to pray several times a day. The greater the emotional connecti on with an enlightened, the better he can help us. The enlightened masters are through a higher dimension of consciousness one with our inner self. They send us their impulses through the voice of our own truth and wisdom. Therefore, it is emphasized in Christianity to hear always to the vo ice of conscience (the feeling of correctness). I always act out of my inner tru th. So in the long run each soul finds his way into the light. A prayer has two areas of impact. First, there is a appeal for help, and secondl y it works as a mantra. A mantra is a spiritual technique that cleans ourselves internally and fills us with happiness energy. A mantra can be thought as often as you like. It brings us forward on the spiritual path. It builds up inside us positive energy. A good Christian mantra is the Lord's Prayer. It is very strong , if we combine it with a visualization (see Pater Noster at the beginning of th e oracle). Rafa: It is said of God, he would answer prayers, but when you pray, it's pure c hance whether something happens. Nils: Those who pray for selfish goals, only exceptionally gets a wish-fulfillme

nt. But who prays for his enlightenment and for help on his way of all-embracing love, always gets help. But not always the way he wanted. Not in a way that he feels great, rather in a way that his ego dissolves. God lives in a dimension ab ove our material cosmos. He is able to act that it seems to be happend by chance but it wasnt. Meditation of Love and Peace Let the love grow in the world. The most important thing in spirituality is the inner voice. The inner voice is the voice of your own truth and wisdom. It is your feeling of rightness. You com bine your intellect and your feeling. Follow the five features truth, peace, lov e, selfdiscipline and happiness. Than you will find your way into the light. Be happy and be good. That is the essence of religion. 1. Stop thinking = We stop one minute all thoughts and come to rest. We relax. 2. Light = We send light to the world. We visualize the earth, move a hand and t hink: "I send light to ... May all people be happy. May the world be happy." We send in particular light to the suffering people. We use our television as a win dow to the world and wrap all suffering people with light. 3. Peace = We put the hands together in our lap. We visualize ourselves as a God dess, Buddha or Christian. We move our toes a little and think the mantra: "I am a Goddess (Buddha, Christian). I go the way of peace. I live in peace." 4. Cosmos = We visualize the cosmos around us, a universe full of stars. We make large circles with our arms and think: "I take things the way they are. I let g o of my false desires. I live in the unity of the cosmos. I flow positive with m y live." What do you want to accept or release today? "I accept .... I let go .. ." 5. Master = We rub the palms in front of the heart chakra. We connect us with th e enlightened masters and think: "Om all enlightened masters. Om inner wisdom. I ask for guidance and help on my way." 6. Question = You can now ask a question. Think about your life. What are your g oals? What is your way of a wise life? Listen to the answer inside. What does yo ur inner wisdom say? What answers your inner wisdom? You feel the answer. "My wa y of wisdom is... Unwisdom is..." Think the answer several times as a mantra. 7. Meditation = We put the hands in our lap. The back is straight and our stomac h is relaxed. We bring our mind completely to rest. We think the mantra "Om" in our head, chest, abdomen, legs, feet. We think in the earth and in the entire co smos: "Om Shanti, Om Peace ... " We stop a minute every thought. When thoughts c ome, we always push them away. Then we relax completely. We slacken our body. We sit relaxed there. Peace and harmonie are within us. 8. Be optimistic = "My positive sentence is... (I go consistently my way of trut h, wisdom and love.)" Optimism. Forward. Success.

Proof of God. There are millions of people in the world who bear witness to the reality of enl ightenment. A million people from every culture and from every era of history ha ve experienced this ultimate spiritual epiphany. Among the most well known of th e Enlightened are arguably Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Laotse, Socrates, Krishna, and Patanjali. Today, thousands of enlightened inviduals exist in one form or anothe r. There are several religions in the world. Every real religion is based on the teachings of an enlightened individual or several enlightened individuals. Juda ism was based on the teachings of Moses, Christianity on the teachings of Jesus, Buddhism on the wisdom of Buddha, and Hinduism on that of many. The center of a religion is that of enlightenment. Religion should lead to enlightenment. Wikipedia: Mysticism is the knowledge of, and especially the personal experience of, states of consciousness, or levels of being, or aspects of reality, beyond normal human perception, including experience of and even communion with a supre me being. (...) Many if not all of the world's great religions have arisen aroun d the teachings of mystics (including Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tze, and Krishna); and most religious traditions describe fundamental mystical experience. God is a Mystery The Zen Circle is the highest that can be said about God. Moses: "The name of Go d is to be (I Am)." God is harmony. God is peace, love and happiness. God is tru th and wisdom. God is a mystery. God is a mystery that can be seen and understand only by enlightenment. One can see God only in enlightenment. The Bible says: "Blessed are the pure in heart: f or they shall see God." Who cleans his heart (his mind) with spiritual exercises , enters the dimension of God and sees God. You must be a saint (an enlightened one), to be able to know God in depth. A proof of God is therefore ultimately po ssible only through enlightenment. With funding of physics or logic, we can desc ribe God very limited and therefore can prove God only some aspects of God. Scie nce cannot explore more than circumstantial evidences for God. If one really wan t to know whether God exists, one must realize enlightenment. Or one has to trus t the enlightened as witnesses for God. There is no other way for the proof of G od. God is proven by the enlightened. And there are many witnesses. The big ques tion is whether God exists only in the brain of an enlightened, or whether God i s an external reality, as perceived by the enlightened. This question can not be answered because God is a mystery. It remains the path of Buddha. He said that all questions about God are senseles s speculations. He pointed his followers to practice and to achieve spiritual en lightenment. Then they would understand and recognize. The majority of Christian s do ultimately the same way. They say that God is not provable. At the same tim e God is the central element of their faith and spiritual practice. The majority of the Christians use the term God as a not to be proven fiction that leads to holiness.And then God will be recognized. The christian way and the buddhist way are identical. Except that in Buddhism the central witness for the existence of Nirvana (God) is Buddha. For all Christians, Jesus Christ is the central witnes s for God. (Politikstube.de, 2012) Bankasius (atheist): Enlightenment occurs through auto-suggestion. Enlightenment is only an illusion. Nils: It's a big misconception that enlightenment is caused by auto-suggestion. The imagination of God, can help on the way to enlightenment. Enlightenment on t he basis of auto-suggestion is a mental disorder and no enlightenment. Who, for instance, thinks he is God, but did not lose his ego and sees himself completely in his fellow beings, is on the wrong track. Anyone who thinks he is a great en lightened, but takes his fellow man not more important than himself has realized only a great spiritual ego. Those who do not go through the dark night of ego r esolution, are not truly enlightened. 1st Enlightenment occurs when the tension in the body and mind are dissolved. In the Bible, this is described with the words: "God is found in silence." The ten

sions are caused by the stress of life and mental false reactions. Tensions can lead to mental abnormalities (neuroses) and psychosomatic illnesses. 2nd You can put it like this: "An unenlightened person is inwardly sick (not a h oly, he has tensions in his body and his mind). An enlightened is inwardly healt hy (whole, a holy)." 3rd Meditation and mental work are the two main techniques to resolve inner tens ions. In meditation, there are various techniques. You can work with visualisati ons. Positive images can resolve internal tensions and mental disorder. The cent er the meditation is inner peace. Then all of the stored stress ultimately emerg e by itself and dissolve. 4th The enlightened mind is characterized by inner peace. God is therefore no co ncept, but from the inner peace unfolds a higher consciousness. One can suddenly think better. The tensions are eliminated. The mental capacity is multiplied. O ne can think holistically (excluding an ego from the entire cosmic system). 5th By the purified mind he can recognize what God is. God is not a concept but the basic perception of man. A person sees all things as they really are. He see s everything in context. Where previously a man by his ego was fixated on himsel f, he now thinks and feels egoless as one with the cosmos. 6th If the tensions disappear in man, from the deep inner peace arises a deep in ner happiness. The man is one with himself and the world. He feels peace, happin ess, strength, love and clarity in himself. He has a higher perception. He can s uddenly think above the higher dimensions in the cosmos. The space-time limitati on is lifted. He can see in the past and future. He can see things in distant pl aces. And he can transmit thoughts and energies to other persons. 7th An enlightened sees God as light in the world. He recognizes that there is a higher consciousness that permeates and directs everything. He is in his consci ousness connected with God. 8th An enlightened person can look into the beyond and see the different worlds there. He can leave his body, travel there and give his fellow man on earth info rmation about the afterworld. Bankasius: Religions are different. Nils: All the really enlightened see God. They describe it only with different t erms. If you get enlightenment, you can recognize that the different terms base in the same experience of God. Only for the unknowing, the religions differ vast ly. A mystic looks mainly to the common core, and this core is God. God works th rough all religions. I emphasize it again. God is a mystery. It can seen persona l and impersonal. Different people have different spiritual paths. Important is what a person brings forward on the path of holiness (enlightenment). (Quote Atheist Media Blog, 2012) Max: I would have understood it if you had spoken instead of "God" from a level of relaxation. Nils: In the enlightenment one comes in contact with a mystery. This mystery can be called God, or else (Nirvana, Tao, Brahman, the Absolute, the higher truth). Since you are not enlightened, of course you do not know this mystery yet. If y ou know it, you'll find your own word for it. This term will lead you again into this experience. For some people this is the concept of God. Jesus spoke of the Father, Moses of the "I AM", some of the great mother and some just remain sile nt (Zen). The Christian God is a technique that can lead you to enlightenment. W hat you recognize is indescribable. Even Christianity says that God is ultimatel a god. It is enough to y a mystery. Atheists do not have to work with the idea of meditate. The meditation can be a way into the mystery, if you practice it long and hard enough. Who knows the mystery, can describe it with different spiritual systems. Why is there the word God? Because it is helpful for many people to co me to enlightenment. The center is enlightenment, not the word God. God can not be proven, because God is a mystery, and goes beyond the normal human understand ing (the rational thinking, the four-dimensional system of thinking). What we ca n do is to prove enlightenment. That is enough. In the enlightenment, we learn t hat we are not only on a higher level of relaxation, but in a higher cosmic dime nsion. And an enlightened can test this. He gets special abilities. There are many leve

ls of enlightenment. The more one grows in his enlightenment, the more abilities one has. These abilities have something to do with omniscience (infinite knowle dge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere) and omnib enevolence (perfect goodness). Perfect goodness means to see the good in all and to act basically positiv. Infinitiv knowledge means to see over the higher cosm ic dimension the future, the past and all over the world. For me it is more a fe eling than a seeing. But I am spiritually evolved very little. The enlightened a bilities are written down in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. But only a few enlight ened have them. In India they are called avatars and in Buddhismus a Buddha (a f ully enlightened person). Mother Meera and Mata Amritanandamayi are avatars. For a christian Jesus Christ has these abilities. --->See also What_is_Enlightenment#Enlightenment_and_Love What is a Scientific Proof? kidt: What is a scientific proof? Nils: In the scientific proof of God we are dealing with an empirical (inductive ) proof. A quote from Wikipedia: Proof is a valid derivation of correctness (ver ification) or incorrectness (falsification) of a statement from true premises. T he inductive proof comes from observations and experiences and can principally d eliver no absolute certainty. The inductive proof is used especially in the law and the sciences . Deductive proof is mainly used in logic and mathematics and comes from a judgeme nt made from premises or definitions according to established, logical methods o f conclusion. Proof is rendered when the individual responsible for providing proof has convin ced the judge in a court of the correctness of said proof. Wikipedia: A proof is supplied when the judges personal belief in the correctness of the statement of fact is given. A proof (in the words of the Federal Supreme Court) is whether the judge is personally convinced of the truth of the asserti on of fact. It may ask the judge for his conviction no scientifically reliable e vidence, but must deal with a practical degree of certainty to be content. The c onviction of the court may rely on circumstantial evidence. kidt: What we cannot do is to change the opinions of the sceptics. The criteria is missing to accomplish that. Nils:The sceptics suffer from spiritual self-blockage. The sceptics should open themselves to understand, and indications would lead them to see the proof and t he truth in these matters. Quote from www.karl-leisner-jugend.de/gottesbeweise: (quoted from original Germa n) What is proof? In theory there are three types of proof: natural scientific p roof, mathematical, and historical proof. The historic proof is examined under o ne-time circumstances, the physical proof is based on empirical data (observatio ns, experiments, or experiences which can be repeated). Mathematic proof is of a purely logical nature. The problem in the discussion regarding the ability to prove something is the un derestimation of historical proof. Things which happen only once and not in an e xperiment, and cannot be repeated in the context of an experiment, are called un proven by sceptics. In the case of historical proof, it deals with the ability to believe in the det ails of an incident and to put these details into question. Are the consequences and effects of the incident conclusive? Are there witnesses? Are there reasons for the witnesses to not tell the truth? It isnt possible to experimentally examine these statements and findings. History happens once and cannot be repeated in a lab. Estimation is possible, and it mu st be estimated as to whether the witness are believable and real. Psychological Proof of God For the psychological proof of God, it is sufficient that the enlightenment is m ental and that an enlightened one sees God. God as a transcendent experience is already proven. There are many enlightened witnesses (for example Jesus, Buddha, Patajali, Church Fathers, Teresa of vila, Dalai Lama, Swami Sivananda, Mata Amrit anandamayi, Sri Anandamayi Ma, Mother Meera). Atheist: The proof of God has been rendered by TMS (transcranial magnetic stimul

ation). The Canadian neurologist Michael Persinger put on his subjects magnetic fields, and they are touched by God. God is the creation of certain brain areas. Thus, your witnesses evidence is nothing more than auto-suggestion. Theist: You make a major logical error, as many other brain researchers too. If God can be perceived by the brain (there are even certain areas of God), does th is not mean that God is only in the brain. If an apple can be perceived by the b rain, does this not mean that there is no real apple outside the brain. God can exist inside and outside the brain. Persinger did a psychological proof of God. Great thanks to him. TMS confirmed the fact of enlightenment. Enlightenment exis ts. The enlightened one sees God. Enlightenment is thus at least a psychological fact. As a condition of human consciousness enlightenment is already clearly es tablished. The big question is whether God really exists outside the brain, such as the above mentioned apple. There are many facts such as the quantum physics, the supernatural experiences (for example, the cures of Lourdes) and the statem ents of the enlightened. Physical Proof of God The physical proof of God is that God not only exists in an enlightened, but als o as an outer reality. The physics is approaching the realization that there are one or more higher dimensions in our universe (String theory). Professor Drr: "Basically, there is no such thing as material. Primarily, there e xists only connections to material foundation. We could therefore call it consci ousness material. Energy appears only as coagulated secondarily, solidified spir it. (... ) Many discoveries of quantum physics are not only immaterial, but that is a work in completely different ways that have nothing to do with the standar d three-dimensional spatial sense we have. It is a pure information field, a sor t of quantum code. It has nothing to do with mass and energy. This information f ield spans the entire universe. The cosmos is whole information because this fie ld has no limit. There is only one, but this one united entity is differentiated ."(P.M. Magazin 05/2007) ---> God and Quantum Physics Threefold Proof of Gods Existence God as an old man (the highest Master) and his son Jesus (the Enlightened) are b lessing Mother Mary and her children (us, the angels) with the Holy Ghost (light , the enlightenment energy). In Christianity, God is defined as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. From this point of view comes the threefold proof of Gods existence. The threefold proof is attai ned by bringing spirituality and science together into a cohesive harmony of con cept. 1. God as the Father is a higher consciousness field in the cosmos. God is cosmi c energy (light). Albert Einstein proved that the cosmos are composed of energy. According to Amit Goswami (The Conscious Universe, 1992) consciousness is the h ighest form of energy. This point is yet to be researched in detail, but one can already see that modern atomic physics and spirituality are coming closer and c loser to one another with their conclusions. 2. God as the son is every enlightened being. This encompasses Gods consciousness . There are many enlightened people on earth. The reality of enlightenment can b e scientifically proven. One only needs to ask these enlightened individuals que stions and test their specific abilities. This is already being practiced via br ain research. Christians need to drop the notion that Jesus is the one and only enlightened to have ever existed. This idea is psychologically understandable bu t scientifically unacceptable. 3. God as the Holy Spirit is the spiritual energy (aura, energy field) that ever y sensitive being can sense around him or herself. This can be perceived as ligh t, water, power, love, peace, unity, and bliss. The Holy Spirit can disolve tens ion and heal sickness. It can strengthen the ability to heal oneself. It can aff ect peace, inner bliss, and enlightenment. The Holy Spirit can be generated via spiritual exercises or from enlightened mas ters. If an indivual doesnt possess a form of spiritual energy, the existence of

God is emotionally difficult to comprehend. In 1987, Nils practiced Yoga every d ay for thirty minutes for half a year when he suddenly perceived this trace of e nergy. He had a brush with transcendence. He could feel the energy of his studen ts when instructing Yoga. He felt united with the entire world in grace and merc y. In order to classify this spiritual energy, it still needs to be researched in a scientific fashion. One can assume that it has to do with a sort of connection to a higher field of cosmic information (a higher cosmic dimension). This spirit ual energy has an especially significant meaning for the healing of psychologica l ailments, in terms of working with this energy to heal. Energy healers use thi s energy to cure various ailments and sicknesses of a mental variety. This has b een documented in many films. Spiritual energy could be referred to as a holy ghost because it seems to come f rom an entirely different dimension. With this energy, enlightened and highly de veloped spiritual people can help others. The bible describes how Jesus poured t his energy onto his disciples on Pentecost. He filled his followers with this sp iritual energy. The followers felt radiantly and divinely happy and radiated an aura of pure light and felt tiny flames of energy from their heads (this could b e interpreted as the activated skull chakra). Seven Arguments Wolfgang: "How can you justify your presumption that God exists?" Nils: "I have seven arguments: The statements of the enlightened. They see God as light in the world in the for m of love, peace, and happiness. God is a term for the perception of the enlight ened. Every real religion establishes itself around an enlightened master. Every real religion has a word for God, (Tao, Nirvana, Brahman, Allah, Yahwe). The near death research refers to the independence of the soul from the body and the continued existence of the soul after death. Wikipedia supports my view on these things. At the same time, Wikipedia also brings up the arguments of the op position. Everyone can read the discussion there. The most important witness is Pam Reynolds. She has seen the light of God in the afterlife, and learned that t here is a paradise area. She has also demonstrated that her otherworldly experie nce was real. She heard the doctors during her out-of-body experience and could reproduce exactly the conversation later on. The gauges showed during her out-of -body experience that her brain could not think. There were no brain waves. And yet she has heard the conversation. Pam Reynolds could have heard the conversati on of the doctors only with her soul. Her ears were stoppered while the operatio n. Reincarnation research has referred to many cases of rebirth. Buddha knew his ea rlier lives. A good overview on reincarnations research can be found on Wikipedi a. The most important and well researched case is Shanti Devi. Physics refers to the existence of a higher cosmic information field (Amit Goswa mi, God as higher consciousness). The string theory supports this point of view. Parapsychology researches spiritual abilities such as thought transfer, the abil ity to see into the future, and to perceive and sense over large distances. This field has collected many cases of aforementioned topics. Scientific happiness research has proven the context between enlightenment, peac e, happiness, and love. They have recognized the principles which lead to a happ y life. They have researched Matthieu Ricard as an enlightened person. I live as a Yogi. I have been in various states of enlightenment. I have seen Go d as light in the world, and as happiness, love, peace, and truth in myself. I m aintain that enlightenment and God exist. I maintain that it is better and happi er to be enlightened than unenlightened. I maintain that it is good to live in G od." Discussion Jesus blesses us with wisdom (spiritual knowledge, the way of enlightenment and all-embracing love). glorin: What do near death experiences and enlightenment theories have to do wit h one another?

Nils: When dealing with enlightenment theories, we are dealing with two things, the psychological and the physical proof of enlightenment. For the psychological proof, we dont need near-death research. It is enough that enlightenment exists psychically and that the enlightened see God. God as a transcendental experience is already proven. There are enough enlightened witnesses who have attested to it. The physical proof of enlightenment indicates that God doesnt just exist in the e nlightened, rather is also an external reality. There is an afterlife, there is a world of light in the afterlife, there is a soul which can live in the dimensi on of God after death. Body and soul are then independent of one another. To pro ve that, we need the near-death research, and also the proof of the Karmapa. Shui: What happens then? Do you float above the body or through a jolly tunnel? If these experiences are really paired with life after death, it poses the quest ion as to why there are such different experiences described. Nils: First you float above the body. When the observation of the operation star ts to get boring, you can continue your journey via the jolly tunnel to the ligh t world. You can do both or either as a soul. There are two different levels (re alms) in the other world. Shui: These people were NOT dead, rather almost dead. Consequently, it wouldnt be right to say that is what happens after death as these people were not really d ead. If the heart stops, and they are pronounced medically dead, then they can b e examined and this information then considered valid. Nils: These things have been researched. For the cases of after death, there is the Karmapa case. From the near-death experiences, we can come to the logical co nclusion that the soul is independent from the body. Shui: Feelings are hormones. You can create feelings through hormones. What is s o special about that? Nils: That is the double-quality of feelings. They can be created through hormon ews. But they are also consciousness energy. For that reason, they are also inde pendent of the body. The fascinating thing is the duality of body and consciousn ess. After death, consciousness separates itself from the body. It lives in the afterlife. Shui: The scientific problem is simple. We dont know what consciousness is, and t herefore we cannot fully comprehend why hormones create feelings. Nils: Thank you for this sentence. We dont know what consciousness is. Therefore, we dont know what enlightenment is, and therefore we dont know what God is. We do nt know if there is a body with an independent soul. These things are still not t ouched upon by science. The near death research and the death of the Karmapa dis prove the one-sided materialistic explanations. They should also cause you to th ink. Rise above the limited model of materialistic explanations. Shui: Everything that you experience through enlightenment are feelings and coul d simply be a result of hormones released through the brain. This also explains the similar experiences of others under the influence of drugs. Enlightenment co uld be anything. Nils: You dont want to understand. You see it as purely physical. I will try to e xplain it again. It principally deals with happiness. Enlightenment is psycholog y. Enlightenment is a way to create inner bliss. That can also be achieved with drugs. Drugs, however, destroy the body and the soul. Then the person isnt happy anymore. Along the way to enlightenment it is better to create inner bliss using systematic thought work and regular meditation. You then live healthily, think positively, and have a happy life. The further you spiritually develop yourself, the larger and more stabile the inner bliss. At some point in time, you land in transcendence. You find unity with the cosmos. You see God. You have a consciou sness experience that many would consider God. You could also describe that expe rience as Tao, Nirvana, or Brahman. The second question is whether God is real and whether God exists in the externa l world. Physics entertains the idea that there are several higher dimensions in our cosmos. There are possibly higher information fields. There is probably an all-encompassing consciousness which exists behind the material cosmos. That wou ld be God in the external form. According to the experiences of the enlightened,

the consciousness of the enlightened connects itself with this higher conscious ness dimension. The enlightened are not only happy, but they can deal in this hi gher cosmic dimension. They have special abilities.

Church Fathers Wikipedia: Enlightenment means in spiritual terms the word alludes to a spiritua l revelation or deep insight into the meaning and purpose of all things, communi cation with or understanding of the mind of God, profound spiritual understandin g or a fundamentally changed consciousness whereby everything is perceived as a unity. The Path to Inner Happiness Inner tension and inner conflict occur when people prevent themselves from being at peace and from experiencing true happiness at a deeper level. This inner ten sion and conflict takes energy, destroys any chance for contentment, and lower o nes overall spiritual positivity. A highly tense and conflicted person tends to h ave negative thoughts. Love for oneself and others is blocked mentally and spiri tually. Inner conflict can mainly be traced to ones childhood. In a conflicted society, w here pressure to perform and competition is a daily reality engrained upon its m embers, a tendency toward conflict and tension is passed on from parents to thei r children during their upbringing. Parents live out their worries, doubts, fear s, aggressions, addictions, and thus influence the spiritual development of thei r children. Other childhood sources of learned conflict stem from television. Te nsion in turn then comes from professional stress, strained relationships, divor ce, and more, as these children grow up to face similar challenges as their pare nts face or once faced. The good news is, whenever this inner conflict builds up inside, it can also be eliminated. The bad news is this can take quite a while. Whenever tension builds over the course of several years, it will also take years to relieve. It is alw ays worth the effort, however, to take on the challenge of curing oneself of suc h inner negativity. For example, illness later on in life can be avoided as a li fe full of peace, energy, and positivity is a healthier one. The amount of inner peace a person possesses correlates opposingly to the amount of tension in ones body and spirit. The lower the tension, the more positive the life force present. Every person has the potential to find absolute peace and c ontentment. Everyone can achieve enlightenment. The only thing standing in the w ay of this goal is our own tension and negativity. Once these darker feelings su bside, our inner positive energy grows. A good way to go about curing oneself of this life force robbing negativity is t o practice several spiritual exercises every day. We have to live in a way that facilitates a gravitation towards the light, instead of the dark. Most people in todays day and age are on a march in the opposite direction. They live day to da

y feeling egotistical and stressed out. They live their lives focused on creatin g more tension and end up burnt out, sick, negative, and depressed. Tension can reside in the body and the soul. The body and the soul are connected , and in order to relieve ourselves of inner tension, we should practice spiritu al exercises for both elements. Inner happiness can manifest on a deeper level o nly when we cleanse ourselves of this inner tension. As people are very individu al, no two have the same sorts of tension and negativity. Everyone should theref ore experiment with said exercises to find what is best for him or her to direct ones path in the appropriate way for him or herself to find inner happiness. Tru e contentment can be found as one of the enlightened. The deeper purpose of life is to reach enlightenment. In the Philosophy Room Meditating Buddha Nils: I have experienced great pain and great happiness. The biggest happiness I experienced in enlightenment. The cosmos has given humans the ability to move t o wisdom. I can therefore say I would like to avoid suffering to the greatest ex tent possible, and to realize a state of happiness as far as possible. Those who have experienced intense suffering and intense happiness in life, know their li ves challenges. They know that there is a correct way to the correct life. This c ould be called the holy path. Bartleby: To be enlightened and happy are supposedly abilities one can learn? Nils: Being happy is doable. Happiness can be learnt. A person can raise his or her happiness by 40% with simple daily exercises. American researchers who studi ed the topic of happiness found that to be the case. Enlightenment occurs when a person dissolves his or her inner tension through sp iritual techniques such as meditation and thought work. An individual can relax through exercise. Inner happiness then unfolds on its own. A person can work for the conditions best suited to enlightenment, but this grace comes from God. If a person practices spiritually long enough, he or she develops inner happiness. How quickly this occurs depends on the intensity and nature of the inner conflic t. Bartleby: To be free from joy and pain is nothing I consider worth striving for. Nils: An enlightened individual has feelings just like a non-enlightened person: feelings of grief and joy. He or she simply lives at a higher level of happines s, in general. He or she has more peace, power, happiness, and love. There are two ways to approach feelings in spirituality. Buddha based himself in a great feeling of inner relaxation, free from intense emotions. He rose above feelings like rage, sadness, fear, and joy. The Dalai Lama in comparison, repres ents a form of Buddhism which emphasizes feelings. He cultivates feelings such a s all-encompassing love and empathy. I teach the allowance of feelings of rage and sadness in my yoga lessons. I prac tice regular anger, grief, love, and joy exercises. Many yoga teachers overpower such feelings. There are also various ways to go in yoga. Trist: To know about God, you first have to be enlightened. That it is an infini te circle and can never be proven. Nils: That is not a circular argument. Enlightenment, like love, cannot be measu red with devices, but it exists anyway. One can measure the results of such feel ings as happiness, love, and enlightenment. One can measure brain waves and conc lude regarding particular feelings. The main proof for enlightenment comes from witnesses. We could also ask if someone has ever been in love, in a similar way. LuxFerre: I can think for myself, and decide for myself. I dont need help from en lightened people. Nils: I consider it a mistake to not accept help from enlightened teachers, but everyone has his or her own way. Help is voluntary. Accepting the help of an enlightened master has the advantage that the teacher k nows the goal and can help people from straying from it. Without an enlightened teacher, it is more difficult to come to self-realization. Only a few people can find the correct way and reach the goal without a teacher.

It is ok for a beginner to read spiritual books and to look for the wisdom withi n, but if you wish to make real progress, it helps to have a teacher. A bad teacher is harmful, but a good one can help bring people forward spiritual ly. We should first check out our teachers before we truly put our spiritual liv es in their hands. I recommend that you center yourself in your own wisdom, and view the masters wisdom as additional help. Fliege: What ist enlightenment energy? Nils: Enlightenment energy feels like light, water, or a magnet field around the person. It has the characteristics of peace, power, happiness, and love. When t he person is pure enough on the inside, this happiness energy fills the body and the space around the person. He is then surrounded by an aura of holy energy. Enlightenment energy can be sensed. In science, it is often debated as to what i t deals with. I experience it as consciousness energy. I can create this energy through my spiritual exercises and spiritually control this energy and transfer it to other people. I also got enlightenment energy from my teachers. The center of initiation in yoga is the transfer of enlightenment energy. Levels of Enlightenment Partygnger: Hey nils !! How does one know whether one is enlightened? Nils: According to my opinion, there are many levels or degrees of enlightenment . Normal people can also have feelings of happiness, love, and peace. It can fee l like you are one wit the world. In the second level of enlightenment, these fe elings are especially strong at particular moments. A third degree would be when a person dwells on this level for a long time. In t he fourth level, the ego begins to dissolve. This individual sees his or her fel low beings more than his or her self. He or she gives more than he or she takes and is therefore happier than his or her more selfish fellow humans. A fifth level could be described as a feeling of holiness. The person has such a high state of energy that he or she experiences the self as being holy. He or s he senses a large aura around his or her head and around the body. In this level there is still an ego and sense of the self. In the sixth level, you reach cosm ic consciousness. You lose your me feeling. You are at one with everything, you ar e simply consciousness. On the seventh level, you see God in all things and everywhere in the world. In the eighth level, you forget the material world and see yourself as being indepe ndent of material. You are free of joy and peace. At the ninth level, particular ly special spiritual abilities appear. The tenth level is reached then after death, when one lives permanently in the h ighest dimension of happiness (Paradise, God, Satyaloka). What I just typed comes from my own knowledge and experience. In Tibetan Buddhis m there are ten Bodhisattva levels. In yoga we also speak of a thousand stages o f enlightenment. There are basically small, medium and large enlightened. Partygnger: Hello nils !! Total enlightenment must be an experience that does awa y with all the other possible human possibilities to experience. Nils: Thats how it is. It was clear to me afterwards that I knew the deeper sense of life. Partygnger: I imagine an out of body experience where I float as a ray of energy down a street of milk full of unlimited, undescribable, absolute, ultimate psych edelic happiness. It would definitely be worth it to find this condition in this lifetime!!! Nils: Enlightenment is very good. According to my experience, it is so good that one would do anything for it. However, it is difficult to describe. It is more of an act of inaction (simply being blissful), but sometimes a very forceful act ion. It depends on what one needs along the way to inner happiness. The Most Powerful and Effective Exercise Carsten: What is the most powerful and effective exercise, in your opinion? Nils: The quickest way to progress along the spiritual way is to let an enlighte ned master open the energy door for you and then live in calm and peace alone. T hen everything will develop the right way. According to Amma, you grow five time s as quickly in isolation as you do as a spiritual person in a worldly environme nt. A worldly environment robs a lot of energy, which is then not present for th

e inner transformation. Relationships take the most energy away. Everyone needs to find his or her own way, as I have stated in the past. It is difficult to live as a yogi in isolation. Most people would get overwhelme d. Good that I didnt know how difficult it would be before I tried it. But now I am through with the largest crisis and have learned to deal with my situation. N ow I feel much more relaxed with it all. I have had a computer for five years an d surf the net happily. I have lived for over twentyfour years in isolation. The first fifteen years wer e mainly without outer contact. The extreme phase was necessary. Swami Shivanand a went his way in such an extreme way at first, and then relaxed it a bit afterw ards. The important thing is to find the right combination for yourself. The mos t effective exercise is to rest, to practice (Yoga, meditation, reading) and to love all beings (to do good for others). For me, the most powerful exercise is to maintain a spiritual daily routine. You must center your life in inner happiness and find out how you can stay within a nd grow spiritually. Tension comes through stress situations. When they dissolve, the stress situatio ns appear again, briefly. Feelings such as anger, sadness, and fear appear again and then dissolve. With the meditation, there is potential for two mistakes. On e could be that we meditate to strongly. Then the problems dont rise to the surfa ce and we cant dissolve any inner tension. The second pitfall is conscious thinki ng. We can think to much or fall into day dreams. The correct way is to be a pas sive observer of ones own emotions. We dont control these things consciously. We o bserve with interest as things rise from our inner worlds. We let the condition of calm prevail and the tension will dissolve. Enlightenment and Love Mother Mary as Queen of Heaven. She gives love to all her children. Atheist: Those who set themselves down for twelve years and doesnt think of anythi ng, will get enlightenment. That is the essence of what you have been saying? Nils: Correct. The essence of enlightenment is in simply existing (calm, rest, n ot thinking). You think when you need to think. Simply ceasing thoughts sounds s imple, but it is a rather dynamic process. Before the thoughts come to a point o f calm, all of the suppressed emotions and stress situations in the subconscious come to the surface and dissolve. To force thoughts to stop would be wrong. You sit down somewhere, wait a bit, an d then the dance of thoughts and feelings begin. After a time, it all comes to r est, and inner peace, harmony, and happiness emerge. That is how you rise from o ne level to the next. The I and me mentality ceases. You cannot force enlightenment. It comes of its own speed. Atheist: Does an enlightened look at the dark side of the psyche? Nils: The contention with ones own shadow side is the main way to enlightenment. An enlightened is aware of the negative side of his or her self. They take the n egative side as it is. They live positively with their weaknesses and integrate them into the psyche. They are harmonious with the self. Atheist: What is the omnipotent God? Nils: God is a cosmic consciousness field that is over and in all beings. God is described as ubiquitous, all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipotent, and blissful. I n transcendence, God is described as all-encompassing mother and father, full of love and happiness. Ubiquitous is a good description for the cosmic information field. All-knowing i s a good component of this field. Love and happiness are experienced when you be come one with this cosmic field. But whats the deal with all-powerful? That I am not so sure of. The way I deal with this concept, is to see God as the cosmic law working everyw here and absolutely. An enlightened feels God as an all-powerful being. At the s ame time, he has the ability to deal only within his possibilities. He must rema in within the rules of the cosmos. The power of the cosmic consciousness field is limited, in my opinion. It has to

emerge with whatever material is at hand. It can create a material cosmos. It c an manifest itself as an enlightened. It can influence the development of the ma terial cosmos. But it remains within the rules of the universe. For that reason, I define the all-powerful nature of the cosmos as an inner feeling. I define th e power of God as transcendent and contradictory. Atheist: Isnt love the essence of Christianity? Nils: Very good. We should all love more. Atheist: To carry around love within oneself all day and everyday should be enou gh for enlightenment? Nils: Try it. It is enough. You will see God in the world and in other people. Y ou will have love, peace, and happiness within. All-encompassing love is the qui ckest way to a life in God. Atheist: What I dont understand is how people know the universe scientifically, t hey know how big it is, how old it is, they know that it is there. Despite that, they dont know it really, because the feeling for it is missing. Nils: Very well stated. Enlightenment is a cosmic consciousness. One feels like he or she is a part of the universe. Enlightenment can be created in that the co smos are visualized around oneself and the universe as a whole. The visualizatio n of the universe activates the Kundalini energy (the enlightenment energy). It is not enough to know something of the universe, one must also feel it. Atheist: It is as though we know there is a God, but we dont feel or sense the ex istence of this God. If we look in the right direction, we then become aware and can thus become enlightened? Nils: Visualizing God awakens the enlightenment energy. Praying with real feelin g awakens the Kundalini energy. For this reason, many Christians say they can fe el God. They think about God and have feelings of peace and happiness. Atheist: Do you know the end of the way? Nils: The way of enlightenment is endless. God cannot be measured. You can grow eternally. When you have saved yourself, then you can save everyone else. Amma m editates for herself first. When she has enough enlightenment energy in herself, she then meditates for other people and sends them happiness, wisdom, love, pow er, and peace. Most people could use a lot of these things. Atheist: Isnt the world unimportant for the enlightened? Nils: An enlightened has peace within him or her, but the suffering of others is not unimportant to him or her. Those who have God within, have enough for thems elves. But God is also love. Enlightenment changes people from egotistical perso ns to loving, giving individuals. The ego is dissolved and through the destructi on of the ego, the enlightened recognizes them in all of their fellow humans. Th e enlightened see the suffering of others and wish them happiness. Love flows fr om them to their fellow humans and their enlightenment becomes more all-encompas sing. An enlightened is not a nihilist, rather a Buddha who is concerned with th e happiness of his or her fellow humans. The Way of All-Encompassing Love The way of all-encompassing love gives life a deeper meaning. It gives the power to overcome barriers and burdens. The vision of a happy world provides motivati on in a life as a Yogi. When Nils doesnt feel like practicing Yoga, he fills his practice with the motivation of a happier world. He connects himself with suffer ing beings in the world and gets energy that way.He sends light to particular pe ople everyday. He does this until his heart is open. Then he sends love to all b eings, and finds happiness. When we facilitate the desire for a better world, then we grow further towards e nlightenment. The secret to this wish is the connection from the inner to the ou ter world. We are not spiritually separated from other beings. Their happiness o r lack thereof affects us. When we visualize other beings as happy, then we also feel happy. Those who foster and encourage this goal to a happy world creates positivity wit hin. When we send light to all beings, then one day light will come through to o ur souls. When we do something good for the world, the world will reward us with a positive psyche. But there is a danger along the path of unconditional, all-encompassing love. We

can overwhelm ourselves and work too hard and have no energy left for happiness . A karma yogi must practice equally rooted in love and rest and balance rest wi th activity. A karma yogi must take care of him or herself, as it is impossible to take care of others unless the self is cared for. Furthermore, a path of exha ustion only leads to burn-out, not enlightenment. The Dalai Lama explains, live balanced by helping and by meditating. Jesus said, lo ve God and love your neighbor. (Meaning, practice spiritually for the development of the self and help others.) Swami Shivananda said, love, serve, give, meditate , purify, and realize your true self. Today, Indian yoga, Buddhism, and Christianity can be brought together to the wa y of all-encompassing love. It is very important to live for and work for a bett er, happier world. Bringing these three spiritual teachings together can be help ful in facilitating that. There are two great goals a human can have. He or she can seek enlightenment or work towards a happier world. At best, we combine the two. In 1991, the Dalai Lama initiated Nils into Tibetan divinity Yoga and in 1998 in to the way of all-encompassing love (Bodhisattva initiation, Avalokiteshva/Chenr ezig). Nils could feel the energy of the Dalai Lama flow into his crown chakra. Later on, the Dalai Lama appeared to him often in dreams and presented helpful t eachings to him. The most important aspect of the teachings of the Dalai Lama is that humans are like one big family and that we need to be responsible for the earth and each other in order for peace and love to exist in this world. Amma Embraces the World Mata Amritanandamayi Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) was born in 1953 in India. She was said to have been born with a big smile on her face, in contrast to most babies who are born cryi ng. Her full spiritual name is Mata Amritanandamayi, which means mother of bliss-en ergy. She began her spiritual journey at the age of five, praying to Krishna ever yday. Amma had a difficult childhood. She was beaten and forced to work extremely hard . Despite this suffering, she never swayed from her spiritual path. It only serv ed to strengthen her conviction. While working, she repeated Mantras silently and found enlightenment at the age of 17. At first her enlightenment was unstable, but with the age of 22, the ligh t flowed into her being. She became a Buddha as she developed this full state of enlightenment. Her inner voice told her to help everyone on earth to follow the spiritual path to self-realization, to become a sort of mother of all beings. She taught the wa y of all-encompassing love, meditation, and yoga. She explained that a master is needed for most people to have success along the spiritual path. Amma built up an extensive humanitarian organization in India. She financed scho ols, universities, and hospitals. She also set up an organization for single mot hers which gave enough money for them to live, which is quite extraordinary in I ndia. Amma also engaged herself in the efforts towards equality for men and women. She renewed the Brahma cult. Brahma is the Indian god of wisdom. Equal to his side is Brahmani, the priestess of the comprehensive love. She is also called Sarasva ti, the goddess of science, arts and creativity. Amma was a living proof of the ability women possess to achieve enlightenment, equal to that of men. In the year of 2002 Amma was awarded the Gandhi-King prize from the UNO. In her speech she said , real leadership doesnt consist of domination, rather than the se rvice of people with love and empathy. At the World Parliament of Religions in 20 04 in Barcelona she added, love is our true self. Love and empathy are the essenc e of all religions. For this reason, it is unnecessary to compete or fight. She said that in todays world people suffer from two kinds of inadequacy. The fir st is a lack of nourishment, and the second is a lack of love. We need to overco me both types of poverty. In order to fight wars, people spend billions. If only a small portion of that could be invested in peace and harmony, all the hunger

and poverty in the world could be overcome. More than a billion people on earth suffer from hunger and poverty. That is actually the biggest enemy of mankind. W hen we develop love in ourselves, then we can really defeat the enemy that is su ffering and misery. Amma travels every year around the world, and has been doing this since 1987. Sh e gives everyone her Darshan, her blessing. Her particular spiritual method cons ists of hugging people. She shows everyone that they are loved. She makes love t angible. Lets concentrate on what we can give, and not what we can get from others , then we can experience happiness and fulfillment in life. Mother Meera Mother Meera Mother Meera is an enlightened master who lives in Germany. She was born on 26/1 2/1960 in India. 1982 she married a German. She now lives in Thalheim near Frank furt. On weekends, she gives satsang (meeting) in the castle Balduinstein. Every one can visit her and receive her free blessings (darshan). She gives darshan al so in the USA and Canada. A darshan is an important purification step on the spi ritual path. Often enlightenment energy is transfered, which one day develops in a great grace. Mother Meera receives thousands of visitors for darshan which she conducts in to tal silence. Her darshan consists of a ritual, where she will touch a person's h ead, and then look into his eyes. During this process, she reportedly 'unties kn ots' in the person's subtle system and permeates them with light. She teaches th e unity of all religions. Everyone can go his own way. It is only important to b e connected with the light (the personal spiritual role model) by praying, readi ng or meditating. Mother Meera has lived some time in the ashram of Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo w as one of the great Indian saint of modern times. He taught the Integral Yoga, t he combination of meditation and Karma Yoga (doing good). Mother Meera has said that she works together on a spiritual level with the Dalai Lama for the good of the world. Statements of Mother Meera: "Each religion has its basic books. It is helpful to read these major works of religions." "Everything comes out of silence. In sile nce more work can be done." "You may enjoy material life, but centering yourself in spirituality."

God portrayed as an enlightened master Philosophy of Religion Anyone who is enlightened, can see and feel God. He lives in God. He sees God as a kind of light that penetrates the entire world. He feels God as an energy aro und him and within him. He feels God as inner happiness, inner peace and inner s trength. He realizes that he is in a higher truth, which can also be described a s universal love. 1. Find out about the enlightenment. Spiritual enlightenment means to obtain a d eep insight into the purpose of all things, to understand the mind of God, or to achieve a fundamentally changed level of existence whereby one's self is experi enced as a nonchanging field of pure consciousness. Mysticism is the awareness o

f God through direct experience. 2. Realize that every true religion is based on the experience of enlightenment of its founder: the Judaism of Moses, Christianity of Jesus, Buddhism of Buddha, Hinduism of many enlightened. The center of a religion is enlightenment. Religi on will lead to enlightenment. Moses was enlightened, as he saw a shining (burni ng) bush after many years of a secluded life in the desert. He saw the light of God in the bush. Jesus became enlightened, after John the Baptist gave him the E nlightenment energy (kundalini energy). After this Jesus meditated 40 days in th e desert. Then the devil (his ego) left him and the angels ministered to him (he was able to help with the enlightenment energy his fellow human beings). Buddha got enlightenment after six years as a yogi under the Bodhi tree. Mara (the dev il) disappeared and Buddha rested in happiness. 3. Realize that God is a mystery that can be described personal and impersonal. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam God is seen as an acting person. God is a sup reme being, which can be addressed as a person and asked for help. Hinduism, Bud dhism and Taoism (Chinese philosophy) prefere the abstract concept of God. God i s higher energy and a state of being. 4. Realize that there are different conceptions of God within the same religion. Moses has in contrast to Jesus, an abstract concept of God. In his central defi nition Moses describes God as: "I am." These words refer to God as a happy state of being which one experiences in the enlightenment. In the words "I am" the ro yal road to enlightenment is mentioned. Man must develop a cosmic consciousness. He loses the sense of his self (ego). He experiences himself as pure consciousn ess, as one with everything and can say only, "I am." He can not say: "I am the ... (name)." He identifies himself with everything. In yoga it is called Sat-Chi d-Ananda, the compound from being, unity and bliss. 5. Prove God through the enlightenment. There are millions of witnesses in the w orld for the fact of enlightenment. Million people in all cultures and at all ti mes have attained enlightenment. They have all had the same experience. They onl y have described God in different words. Modern science has studied many enlight ened and confirmed their specific abilities. Everyone can check the proof. Thoro ughly investigated by U.S. brain researchers several years ago was Matthieu Rica rd. They found a particularly large inner happiness, serenity, inner peace and c ompassion. The Lords Prayer Holy Trinity: God, Holy Spirit (holy energy) and Son (Enlightened) Nils: I've just been completed the Angel oracle in time for Christmas. When I sa w the cover picture on the Internet (the Pater Noster), a strong energy radiated to me from it. The image refers us to connect the Lord's Prayer (Christian main mantra) with visualizations and thereby strengthen the spiritual effect conside rably. For Teresa of Avila the Lord's Prayer was a strong way to activate the ku ndalini energy and quickly come to a life in the light. To have a powerful effec t, we should speak or think the prayer how it fits us best. We should interpret the images so that they are helpful to us. We can formulate the sentences of the Lord's Prayer in our own words. This can help us to come better into contact wi th the energy of the prayer. The Pater Noster picture divides the Lord's Prayer in eight areas. 1.Our Father in heaven, (We visualize God as a light or a person in heaven above our crown chakra.) 2.hallowed be your name, (We imagine a beautiful melody to our image of God.) 3.your kingdom come, (We recognize our world as a paradise.) 4.your will be done, on earth as in heaven. (We take all things in our lives as they are.) 5.Give us today our daily bread. (We are grateful for everything positive in our lives.) 6.Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

(What do you want to forgive your fellow man or God / your life today?) 7.Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. (What false desires you want to let go of today?) 8.For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen. (Feel the power and the light of your spiritual role model flowing into you and filling you. Think Amen as long until you are one with the power of Jesus or God . Move one hand and send the light with the mantra Amen to all beings on earth. So you will come fully into the light.) The Sermon on the Mount Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satis fied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Jesus meant poor in terms of the inner self, and not the outer self. Outer poverty does not lead automatically to inner happines. Those who let go of outer attach ments, can simply exist and find a way to inner contentment in God. Suffering in and of itself does not lead to happiness. However, those who can ta ke suffering in their lives and raise themselves through spiritual exercises, ca n find solace in inner peace. Mourning can help to let go, but one should not al low the self to be overwhelmed by grief. Grief is not the center of life, rather inner peace. Those who can greet their fellow beings with non-violence and placidity, can liv e in a relaxed and peaceful way and relinquish into a cosmic consciousness. Thos e who are at peace with all things, are at peace with themselves. Justice means correctness in the Bible. To long for a correct life, means to lon g for a life in the light. Those who long for happiness and search for it in the right places will receive it one day, in the form of inner peace. Those full of empathy, will feel with the cosmos. Those who love their enemies w ill experience inner harmony. Those who experience the center of their existence as a love for all other beings will be rewarded by God with an all-encompassing love, peace, and inner happiness. To dissolve inner tension, exercises for the body are required (going, meditatio n) and exercises for the spirit (reading, thought exercises). Those who exercise spiritually every day will reach a lasting happiness one day. Then one day the meaning of God will be found. Those who let go of the ego, come into the light. Without a sacrifice, the break through to enlightenment cannot be made. Those who live according to these teach ings and therefore experience difficulty in their daily lives, provide the basis for such a spiritual sacrifice. To let go in a spiritual manner is an art. Thos e who do not go about this the right way create inner tension and conflict. We s hould not sacrifice too little or too much. Those who go about this the right wa y will be rid of their inner conflict. A peacemaker is a person who makes peace within the self and the world. Those wh o are enlightened can be called holy, a son or daughter of God. Those who live i n peace radiate peace into the world. The central message of Jesus Mount Sermon is that a person cannot serve two lords . He cannot serve God (inner happiness) and money (the outer form of happiness). O ne has to decide for him or herself as to what form of happiness he or she will seek to attain. As a wise person, one must place the way of peace, serenity, lov e, and spiritual exercises as the central point of existence. In this way, he or she will one day find true happiness and live in the light. Good and evil Poor devil. Lives only his ego. We are beings of the light. We are children of the light. The cosmos is our grea

t mother and our great father. We play games of happiness in God and thus grows the eternal happiness of all beings. The problem with most of our fellow creatur es is that they can not distinguish between good and bad games. Bad games often make happy the short term and unhappy the long term. Bad games are all games who focus of worldly desires. If we anchor ourselves in external things, we always long for more. We become te nsed inside, our inner happiness decreases and it takes everyone down. We are al lowed to live the external things. We can have relationships. We can play relati onship games. We are permitted to make us the outside world beautiful. But we mu st bring the spirituality at the center of our lives. We need to play our life g ames out of the focus of spirituality. We have to play on the basis of wisdom, l ove and peace. Only those games benefits us. This is difficult to understand. There are many little devils in the world playi ng negative games. Little devils are always poor devils. They lack wisdom and th ey end up harming themselves primarily. We need many angels in the world who can teach the little devils to play in the right way. If the angels are centered in wisdom, in their spiritual practices and in all-embracing love, then they win a nd that will be good games for everyone. If we look closely at the Bible, we see that the Devil is not mentioned often. M oses reported of a snake who lived in paradise and wound itself around a tree. T he snake is a symbol for the kundalini energy in yoga. This snake winds itself a round the tree of enlightenment, the middle energy canal. The snake embodies the wisdom of activating the internal energy of happiness. The Bible refers to a devil who came to Jesus as he sat for forty days in the de sert and meditated. Shortly before Jesus came to enlightenment, the devil appear ed to him. The devil wanted to stop him from destroying his ego and from attaini ng the point where he could live in the light. Before the tensions within a pers on dissolve, they strengthen for a time. A strong feeling of aversion to a spiri tual life appears and the worldly pleasures appear for a time to be more importa nt than God. They appear as a large source of confusion and temptation. With a little imagination, the devil can be imagined. One can see the ego as a s ort of inner devil who stops one in the path towards enlightenment. However, thi s devil is not a being, but a part of the individuals own self. He is a visualize d ego conflict. In the Bible it is described with an image, a presence, but this is not to be taken literally. In Buddhism, the devil is called Mara. Before he achieved enlightenment, Mara ca me to Buddha. Buddha reached his hand towards the earth, activated his root chak ra, and rid himself of this ego conflict. Mara and his entire army of temptation disappeared. After Buddha triumphed, the light of enlightenment flowed within. With Jesus, it meant that the angels came and served him, after he managed to ov erwhelm his ego and came to enlightenment. There is no devil in reality. In its basic substance the universe is made of lig ht. Everything is God. Everything is clean. One can only live things in the cosm os wrong. You can put your ego at the center of your life. The right path can be found with the principles of truth and love. With these two properties we can d efeat the devil. Who's going through his full life consistently with wisdom and love, one day comes into the light (in a life of God, into the paradise). Healing through the path of enlightenment After five years of continuous stress associated with a difficult relationship I got 30 years ago a burnout. I wanted to heal me. I tried everything that the cu rrent medicine has to offer. But nothing helped. My theory is that the strong st ress had caused many internal tensions. Healing would occur if these tensions ar e disassembled. I tried to get rid of the tensions through systematic spiritual exercises. Some times I broke through to enlightenment. Then the burnout was gone and I was cure d for a short time. Unfortunately, new tensions emerged. Then the enlightenment disappeared. But I can say that enlightenment is ultimately a way of healing. Th erefore there is hope for you. The main path of healing is, in my experience, to live in enough rest, make suff iciently spiritual exercises and to do good deeds (living in love to all). In ad

dition you have to practise the five principles of health (healthy diet, avoid h armful substances such as smoking and alcohol, regular exercise, positive thinki ng, and enough sleep). Basically you should spend no more energy in your life in outward things, as you have. If you live quietly enough, the life energy turns inward and heals a pers on. For me a variety of diseases disappeared over the years as a hermit. Thus it is described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the holy book of Yoga. And here it se ems to me to be your first problem. You have organized your life now so that you will grow in sickness and unhappiness. You are surrounded by things that rob yo u your energy. This system must be changed. How, you may try out creatively for yourself. You s hould bring as much rest in your life that you are even get a little boring. It is precisely at this point, that your vital energy begins to turn inward and hea ls you. This is the great secret of rapid spiritual growth and inner healing. Specifically, I recommend to you, because you have a job and a family, three hou rs each day of spiritual exercises. Feel what is right for you and what brings y ou to healing. Helpful are walking (running), yoga, to read in a spiritual book and to meditate. Meditation is basically quite simple. Watch a video with spiritual exercises on the Internet, do the exercises, thus solve your energy blockages and activate yo ur healing energy. Then sit relaxed or lie down and hear beautiful meditation mu sic (for example, New Age music from the Internet). You lie or sit until you are completely relaxed and became positive inside. The combination of a short activ ation of the kundalini energy (healing energy) through yoga exercises (breathing , mantras, visualizations), followed by a long resting phase quickly take you in to a good energy. You do that every day and get so over the years more and more healthy and happy. What is a Christian? Jesus Christ ma.be (Jesus.de): What makes you a Christian? Nils: There are many Christian groups. We should not fight each other. We should love us, respect us and work together. AChristian ist a person who recognizes J esus as his spiritual role model, connects with him regularly and follow his com mandments. This is especially the love to God and love for his neighbor (all peo ple). You must not agree with every word of the Bible. ma.be: Do you accept that you are a sinner and need forgiveness, to have fellows hip with God. Nils: What is sin? Sin is to have an ego. The ego makes you to fall out of the P aradise, out of a life in God and out of the Enlightenment. Everyone who is unen lightened is a sinner. His task is to overcome his ego with his spiritual exerci ses and to get into a life in the light. Our sins are forgiven us in the moment when we seriously begin to go our spiritual way. Then the grace will unfold at i ts time. Chaya (Christian woman): What is the ego? Nils: The ego is a phase of human development. In a material world you need a st rong ego to survive as an individual. For the whole of humanity, a strong ego of its individual members is dangerous. If the people look too much on their indiv idual interest and pay too little attention to collective interests, the human r ace can destroy itself. At the moment, we watch the madness that in a globalized world, few people are immensely rich and about a billion people are starving. F or me this is an exaggerated egoism of the rich. The rich should give to the poo r so much money, that all people can live well. The rich will do that, only if t hey understand that inner happiness and love is the center of man. Inner happine ss grows when you overcome the selfishness and live in the all-embracing love. T he inner happiness is blocked by the tensions in the body and in the mind of a m an. This tensions can be dissolved through physical and mental exercises (yoga, walking, positive thinking, meditation). Tensions arise mainly from fears (rejec tion of suffering) and attachment to external pleasures. The ego is a result of

internal tensions. The more a man purifies himself inwardly, the more his soul i s healed, the smaller is the ego. When love and happiness in a man grow, the ego disappears on its own and the man gets into a cosmic consciousness (unity consc iousness). Then one feels love to all beings and is in harmony with himself and the world. Coming close to God Mion (Jesus.de): I never really felt close to God. Perhaps this is yet to come. Nils: You have only to find the way by which you can be close to God. There are many spiritual techniques. Find out what works for you. If you really want, you can find your way to God. I get into the light by thinking and visualizing: "I s end light to .... (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy." A good way to feel God's presence is to meet holy (enlightened) people. I went t o Brother Roger of Taize, as he visited Germany. It was a great event in the exh ibition halls. I sat in the back of the large hall. Brother Roger was sitting up front and surrounded by his monks. And suddenly the Holy Spirit came down from heaven and filled me. I gave the light to all people in the hall so that they co uld partake of the joy of God. I do not know if anyone has felt this. Anyway, I think that Brother Roger has enabled me to experience God. Maybe you should even go to Taize. Everyone can be there for a few weeks and enjoy the sacred atmosph ere. Perhaps you experience God there. Or with other saint. There are so many ho ly people in the world. I got many times enlightenment energy in their presence. ---> Videos: Pope Highlights Work of Brother Roger (1 min.), The Taiz Community ( 2 min.) Bede Griffiths Bede Griffiths Bede Griffiths was born in 1906 in England and died in 1993 in India. He made le cture tours through the West and sparked waves of enthusiasm out there. He wrote many books. He was a great inspiration to many Christians today. At him they fo und the love and the authenticity that they had been looking for. His final word s were: "I am so happy. I'm so full of love. This is my commandment, that ye lov e one another. In this is included the whole gospel." Bede Griffiths wanted the adaptation of Christianity to the present day. He taug ht that the disclosures of all religions complete one another. All the holy book s of all religions together give the whole thing. A spiritual person can and sho uld learn from the books of all religions. Bede Griffiths was, how many great saints, very uncomfortable for his church. He explained that the Catholic Church must change. She should find new ways to exp ress the Christian message. She should make love, not the sin to the center of h er faith. Bede Griffiths advocated the abolition of compulsory celibacy for priests, the p riesthood of women and to establish inter-religious communities. His ashram in I ndia was visited by people from all religions. He sent his Christian students to other spiritual traditions, so that everyone could find just the personal right way for him to enlightenment. Much like Bede Griffiths also represents David Steindl-Rast a pluralistic theolo gy of religions. David Steindl-Rast grew up in Austria. He graduated from Vienna in art and got a degree in psychology, in addition, he studied anthropology. Af ter receiving his doctorate in psychology in 1952 he emigrated to the United Sta tes. In 1953 he entered the Benedictine monastery of Mount Saviour in Elmira, NY . In 1965 he was one of the first monks after the Second Vatican Council, appoin ted by his abbot, to deal with the inter-religious dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism. He then practiced with several Japanese Zen masters. In the Inter net Steindl-Rast founded the international network Grateful life. If he is not t raveling on lecture tours, he lives as a hermit. ---> Videos: Bede Griffiths talks about the love of God (3 min.), Bede Griffiths talks about God (5 min.) The Spiritual Daily Schedule For Nils, the spiritual daily schedule is a central technique on the path to lig

ht. This is based on letting go of tension in the body and soul. When we live an d practice spiritual exercises for the body and mind everyday, then we will reac h enlightenment. The number of hours required on a daily basis to attain a life in the light (in happiness) varies from person to person, and their situation an d abilities. Nils meditates for six hours and goes for an hour walk twice a day. He practices Yoga for an hour and reads a spiritual book for one hour. He also works towards the happiness of others three to four hours per day. He exercises constantly. H e divides these spiritual exercises in a way that enables him to constantly unde rgo the inner purification process. A spiritual person know when he needs which technique. When the body is dull and lacking energy, he goes for a walk. When he or she feels restless, he or she pr actices Yoga or meditates. When the spirit seems to rebel against the spiritual way, a book on spiritual topics helps to bring back the conviction towards enlig htenment. He senses the inner conflict and uses the proper techniques to dissolv e the tension. That is usually what the body and soul wants the least at that mo ment. Wherever the neurotic tendency to feel repelled towards something is usual ly the way to the light. On the other hand, we need to sometimes give the body a nd soul what they would like, otherwise tension is built. The way to happiness r equires a lot of wisdom and inner sensitivity. ma.be (Jesus.de): I want to be myself and learn to sit in the sun in a lawn chai r, because Jesus has done everything for us. Nils: Jesus has done everything in which he has shown us the way. But we must go the way by ourselves. We can find the way only, if we interpret the Bible with inner wisdom and intuition. The path into the light (holiness, Paradise) consist s of three main points. 1 The way of rest (lying relaxed in a lounge chair, livi ng in the silence) 2 The way of practice (prayer, meditation) 3 The way of unive rsal love (do good, take ones fellow man more important than oneself). All three points are important. Thus succeeds our spiritual path. They must all be practi ced at the right moment, in the right time, in the right way and personally in t he right proportions. Living in the light of God Angel of Thankfulness Elizabeth: "Here I'll describe my path who led me into the light and gave me the love (...) I am a nurse by profession. At the age of 38 an illness struck me, t he Firbomyalgie syndrome. And everything I had built up myself was lost. I was s o desperate that I nearly gave up my life. (...) I began to think about death. H ow would that be like. Then I thought about life. What was the meaning of life? Was it the sense to be born, to struggle through his life, only to die then. (.. .) And there it was again the question: who was I anyway? I thought about the people. Why were they so unhappy? No one saw the beauty of n ature. (...) I made a long walk throug a forest nearby. Suddenly I had to stop. I saw a flash coming down out of a tunnel from above. And something penetrated m e. I got a wonderful feeling within myself. A feeling of warmth, love and hope. (...) I did not really understand what had happened. But I felt an incredible pe ace, an incredible satisfaction. I was so happy as never before in my life. And it was as though a veil pulled from my eyes. Everything was suddenly brighter an d clearer, as if I would see better. Everything seemed so clean and pure. As if I would see a new world. I saw the light of God in the word. And this has remain ed until today. I always live in the light of God. Now I was the one I've always been. A woman of quiet tones. And everything is go tten better since then. My illness has disappeared since then more and more. (.. .) It was remarkable also, that I understood at once the words of Jesus and the Bible. (...) And I knew now what love is. Love is not dependent on people, but s olely from oneself. (...) And then I suddenly knew what God is. It is the energy that is everywhere and everything. And this energy is pure consciousness. And t his consciousness is shaped to all that which is. And this light came to me and brought me love. (...) And I more and more got aware what was been given to me."

The light in the center of the universe. God is a higher field of consciousness in the cosmos. God is the enlightenment e nergy. God is love, peace, happiness and a higher truth. Man need a cosmic consc iousness. Man has to think nondualistic. Man has to feel himself one with all. P hysics can help to understand God. One can realize a life in God only through th e enlightenment. The path to enlightenment goes via the spiritual exercises. God and Quantum Physics According to some quantum physicists (Hans-Peter Drr, Amit Goswami, Michael Knig), there is behind the material world a hyperspace that can be regarded as an afte rlife or a heaven. Basis of this assumption is the proved (verified) phenomenon of quantum entanglement. If two entangled (by contact "mentally" connected) phot ons (light particles) can communicate over a large spatial distance much faster than light (immediately), there must be a higher dimension (a hyper-space) throu gh which this is possible. Because the special theory of relativity from Einstei n shows that signals spread out in the traditional dimensions of space can do th is not faster than light speed. Evidences for the nature of the hyperspace are not yet available. There are the string theory and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics. If they are verified a multi-dimensional universe (multiverse) can derived from them. The French physicist Jean Emile Charon (1920-1998) developed the complex theory of relativity, meaning that there is a photon gas in the interior of an electron , which can form structures and is a kind of inner memory of the electron. The c onsciousness of man can for Charon be stored in electronic memory (see Biophoton ics). Since electrons have an eternal life, the German physicist Michael Knig mad e in the 1980s the hypothesis that essence electrons form in the body of a man a n eternal soul. They continue to exist after the death of the man and incarnate again later on into a new body on the earth. For the existence of a soul indepen dent of the body speak, according to some scientists, the findings of the near d eath research, the reincarnation research and the after death experiences of the 16th Karmapa. The death of the 16. Karmapas, Dr. Mitchell Levy (germ.). The physicist Burkhard Heim (1925-2001) made a quantification of space and time with the extended quantum field theory. He assumed that the space is filled with tiny quantum and that there are also time quantum. Spiritually formulated, one would say that the universe exists out of light (an ethereal substance). A mysti

c can feel this. The hyperspace is not empty, but filled with "light". So Burkha rd Heim was able to calculate the hyperspace beyond matter. Overall he found a t welve dimensions universe. Charon and Heim are previously little-noticed in the current physics. But things can change. Outsiders may be the mainstream. The German quantum physicist and mystic, Michael Knig (b. 1957) published in 2010 the book, "Das Urwort (The physics of God)." In it he made the Firstword-theory . Our universe is an idea of God. All begann with the wish of God that a cosmos with thinking beings should be there. He spoke a mantra (ELI) and the multiverse was started. Consciousness is the center of the universe from which everything is developing. Michael Knig has worked up the theories of Charon and Heim and ext ended. This enabled him to confirm through quantum physics, what was found by th e enlightened ones and mystics of all time by the inner exploration of their con sciousness. With his Urword-theory he connects the traditional knowledge of the mystical philosophy with quantum physics. In accordance with the traditional Indian philosophy our entire universe exists out of three primary areas, the material cosmos, the afterworld and the heaven ( God, Light World). Through spiritual practice, a person can develop a light body and ascend to higher realms of consciousness. On earth, there will be a golden age in the future, based on the association of spirituality and science. "And Go d's light will flood through all people, (...) all love each other, they will la ugh and be happy." (Michael Knig, Das Urwort, p. 265.) God is a higher dimension of consciousness consisting of energy, love and inform ation (ELI) in the center of our multiverse. From this center, the Eta-particle (basic light-quantum) flow and form the heaven, the afterworld and the material universe. After the teachings of hinduism at the end of time everything flow bac k into God, and after some time of rest the dance of Shiva starts again. But it will take an eternity, until everything dissolves in God. Until then, we can liv e as happy souls in the multiverse. Or as unhappy souls, if we prefer this. The mathematician Klaus Lange has reviewed the theory of Michael Knig, that God i s a high density of energy (light, love, consciousness) in the center of our mul tiverse. He found two things who can be tested experimentally.(Der Mathematiker Klaus Lange zur Urwort-Theorie.) Now we just have to wait until the test takes p lace. Science will make a quantum leap. Love is the essence of the universe. We do not fight against each other anymore, but together we build up a happy world. We create the paradise on earth and after we die we all get up into heaven. Unt il then, it can still be a long way, as the previously unsuccessful attempts to prove the string theory show. But we can be optimistic because the near death re search, the reincarnation research and the visions of the enlightened point towa rds provability. American Physics Professor Amit Goswami A key supporter of this theory is the American Physics professor Amit Goswami fr om the University of Oregon. He wrote the book The Conscious Universe in 1992. In his book, Goswami describes the most important discoveries of todays quantum p hysics. He also develops his philosophy regarding monotheistic idealism. The mon otheistic idealism explains that everything in the cosmos belongs together, to o ne consciousness, to God. This world view is also found in the philosophy of yoga. In this philosophy, con sciousness is the primary substance of the cosmos. Consciousness can be seen as God, as a higher dimension which resides over our material cosmos. Enlightenment should be the centerpoint of mankinds thought patterns. The new world view of physics says that we all belong together, that we are all connected. We live in one cosmos, and are of one energy. We are all connected th rough the higher dimension in a spiritual sense. When we are aware of this, we c an let go of egotism and pay more attention to the good of all. Interview with Amit Goswami (by Craig Hamilton, Quotes) Goswami: From the beginning of the field of Quantum physics in the year 1900, ph ysicists have indicated that we can change our perspective of things. From 1982 came results from a Lab experiment in France where Alain Aspect and his colleagu es conducted an experiment that could show the connection between quantums to a higher dimension.

In this experiment, an atom produced two photons which went in opposite directio ns. Afterwards, these photons still influenced one another without exchanging an y type of signals. What is significant here is that these two particles influenc ed one another after this separation without exchanging signals. When the rotati on of one of the two photons was altered, the rotation of the other changed acco rdingly and in a measurable way. Einstein proved long ago that two objects in space and time can never influence one another immediately as everything can only function within the maximum speed that is the speed of light. It was thought that every signal is bound to space and only needs a certain amount of time to move itself through space. Photons fr eed from atoms in the course of an experiment can influence one another in a par ticular territorial distance within the blink of an eye, quicker than the speed of light. In conclusion, this control element could not have moved itself throug h space and therefore it must be implied that the influence it had occurred in a nother dimension of time and space. Hamilton: What was your special discovery? Goswami: I was fortunate enough to recognize, via quantum physics, that all the paradoxes of this field could be solved once we take into account consciousness as the basis for all existence. I recognized that consciousness is the primary f orm of reality. A higher reality exists over our material cosmos which consists of consciousness energy. The universe is a conscious universe which is generated via consciousness. Consc iousness is the only reality that exisists outside of the physical space and tim e. Consciousness isnt an ephiphany of material, rather a result of the brain. Con sciousness doesnt come from material, rather, it can influence material in and of itself. The world of manifestation comes from a transcendent world of ideas. The brain researcher John Eccles identified that the nerve signals in the brain are based on quantum waves. Here is the big point of connection between the spir itual and the material world. The spirit is energy which is separate from the bo dy which can affect the brain as the tiniest particle of our cosmos via quantum particles.

Quantum Field Theory/Many-worlds Interpretation (wikibooks) Discussion about God in Germany 2009

Heaven with angels after death Essentially there are five references to a life after death: the quantum physics (Professor Drr), the near death research (Pam Reynolds), the after death researc h (Karmapa), the reincarnation cases (Shanti Devi) and the statements of the enl ightened (the clairvoyant). Is There a Life After Death? Quantum physics has proven by physical tests that a higher dimension in the univ erse exists (Alain Aspect). The former head of the Max Planck Institute for Phys ics in Munich, Professor Hans-Peter Drr believes that the brain by thinking forms a field of consciousness (quantum field) that can exist after the death of the

body in the higher dimension further. You are 78 years old. Do you believe in for afterlife? Is there existence after death? Professor Drr: "That is an interesting question. What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensi ble. The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger, Which this world is rooted in. In this way, our lifes in this plane of existence are encompassed, su rrounded, by the afterworld already. When planning I imagine that I have written my existence in this world on a sort of hard drive on the tangible (the brain) that I have also transferred this data onto the spiritual quantum field (the spi rit, the indepenendent consciousness), then I could say that when I, I do not lo se this information, this conscioiusness. The body of this but the spiritual qua ntum field continues. In this way, I am immortal. "(P.M. Magazin 05/2007) The Enlightened Who is enlightened can, thanks to his expanded consciousness, look in the beyond and know the life after death. Near death experience Ascent of the Blessed by Hieronymus Bosch is associated by NDE researchers with aspects of the NDE Wikipedia: Near death research. The near death research confirms that the mind c an think independently from the body. 1991 the 35 year-old Pam Reynolds underwen t a brain operation. Her blood was routed from her brain and she was placed in a state of artificial coma. Her head was attached with wires to measure brain wav es. It was ascertained that no brain waves could travel during this half an hour . The thought processes were blocked, and examined as no hormone release could o ccur. Hallucinations were not possible in this state. And it just so happened th at Pam Reynolds had her out of body experience at this time. She floated with her soul out of her body. She observed from above all of the de tails of her operation. She then floated through a tunnel to a world of light. T here, she met her dead grandmother and other people. The beings there lived in a paradise dimension and possessed positive energy. With their energy, they stren gthened Ms. Reynolds so that she could go through her operation successfully. In a BBC interview, Pam Reynolds explained that she had experienced the breath of God. (Video Pam Reynolds) Elisabeth Kbler-Ross The doctor Elisabeth Kbler-Ross published her book Interviews with the Dying in 196 9. This book consists of an extensive discussion concerning death in Western soc ieties. Kbler-Ross stumbled upon the amazing fact that many people were able to e ncounter the other side during their brief deaths (before they returned to their bodies and to life). During their lives on Earth, blind people can sometimes suddenly see from the ot her side. They can observe what happens on earth from the beyond. How could a bl ind person suddenly get knocked unconscious during the course of a car accident and then be able to see other people in the area of the accident and then descri be the circumstances after being revived? Especially well-known is the so-called dentures incident. An older man was taken to a hospital in the Netherlands to be operated. His dentures were taken out so that his throat could be more easily accessed. During the hustle and bustle of the operation, a nurse misplaced the dentures and couldnt find them. Luckily, the man left his body during the operation and watched the nurse from above. Afer h e returned to consciousness, the man was able to tell the nurse exactly where sh e had put his dentures. In 1975 Raymond Moody wrote the book Life After Death. In this book, he documented the near-death experiences of 150 people. Many reported that after death they t ravelled through a dark tunnel and then arrived at a dimension of light. In the light world, they met holy light beings and even their already death relatives. They learned things they didnt know before. After their near-death experiences, m any people changed their lives completely and then oriented themselves around sp irituality.

Many researchers have looked into the insight of Kbler-Ross and Moody. With a flo od of arguments against these findings, the researchers tried to prove the neardeath researchers wrong. The typical argument of such naysayers was usually that the near-death visions were biochemical (material) or psychic reactions of the mind caused by nearing death. Before death, it is alleged, humans have hallucina tions. The brain reacts to death with a flood of hormones. One of these main critics was Dr. Michael Sabom. After he read Moodys book, he st ated that he had looked into these matters thoroughly himself. He interviewed ov er a hundred patients, who after experiencing cardiac arrest, were revived. Sabo m was amazed to find that these people had seen things outside of their bodies w hich they didnt know before, that they witnessed things while unconscious. The biggest scientific breakthrough for Sabom occurred in 1991. The 35 year-old Pam Reynolds underwent a brain operation. Her blood was routed from her brain an d she was placed in a state of artifical coma. Her head was attached with wires to measure brain waves. It was ascertained that no brain waves could travel duri ng this half an hour. The thought processes were blocked, and as such no hormone release could occur. Hallucinations were not possible in this state. And it just so happened that Pam Reynolds had her out of body experience at this time. She floated with her soul out of her body. She observed from above all of the details of her operation. She then floated through a tunnel to a world of l ight. There, she met her dead grandmother and other people. The beings there liv ed in a paradise dimension and possessed positive energy. With their energy, the y strengthened Ms. Reynolds so that she could go through her operation successfu lly. In a BBC interview, Pam Reynolds explained that she had experienced the bre ath of God. The special aspect of the case of Pam Reynolds lies with the fact that modern me asurement equipment showed that the consciousness of a person exists even when t he stuff of the brain is shut off. This leads one to conclude that there must be an independent consciousness separate from the body. The body and soul are two independent manifestations of energy. The case of Pam Reynolds was tested with many other patients. They confirmed Sab oms results. It was confirmed that the near-death experiences were not only of a biochemical nature or simply brain processes. They are independent of age, gende r, religion, and of country of origin of the involved people. Opponents of the soul theory have only one remaining argument: clairvoyance. Pam Reynolds supposedly had clairvoyance at her disposal. She experienced her opera tion in the past, and therefore was able to describe the operation. This argument can also be proven false when considered that most near-death pati ents are not capable of being proven as clairvoyant. Clairvoyance is a spiritual ability that only a few developed individuals possess. When hundreds of near-de ath patients are considered, only one is typically a clairvoyant. Furthermore, clairvoyants also profess the existence of an afterlife. If Pam Rey nolds is declared a clairvoyant, then it is logical to not only accept her knowl edge of the operation, but also her report about the world of light. Clairvoyant s can see the afterlife and therefore prove the existence of the other side. When weighing the arguments, we must conclude that there is life after death. Sc ientific breakthrough occurred with the case of Pam Reynolds in 1991. Further te sts (Pim from Lommel in Holland in 2001, Sam Parnia from the University of South Hampton in 2001) confirmed Saboms results. In 2007, the German newspaper Der Spiegel published an article which concluded tha t the eternal nature of the spirit is more probable than the simple extinguishin g of the spirit with death. Der Spiegel was previously known for having an atheist position on these matters, and so showed a complete 180 degree changing on its views. German Television on Near-death Research Gustave Dor's depiction of the highest heaven as described by Dante Alighieri in the Paradiso. NDE researcher and religious scholar Carol Zaleski has cited paral lels between the Paradiso and NDEs.

In 2003, a program appeared on German television dealing with the topic of neardeath research. Regine Kexel portrayed the arguments of the supporters and oppon ents of the soul theory according to the book Dimension Psi from Walter von Luca rdou and came to the conclusion that there are many reports about near death res earch that cannot simply be ignored. Regine Kexel presented the aforementioned arguments, and all the arguments of th e opponents to the soul theory were refuted. The independence of the consciousne ss is currently the accepted view of science, in the words of Regine Kexel (tran slated from German): Critics of near-death research are hard pressed to find a pl ausible reason for this phenomenon. According to her opinion, we are positioned at the very beginning of a large puz zle. Here is where the author must differ. Those who are concerned with spiritua lity already have an answer to the presented questions. The enlightened masters of the past and of today all have discovered the mysteries. One only needs to lo ok further to find an answer to these questions. For example, it is not entirely clear to the program moderator Kexel as to why n ot all those who brush with death go through have a near death experience as des cribed. With adults, 30% go through this, and children to a percentage of 70%. T he explanation for this is that most adults are so tied with their consciousness to their physical bodies that they remain in their bodies in these near death s ituations. Children have yet to really connect their spirits with their material bodies in such a strong way, and for this reason they leave their bodies more e asily. Careful consideration also raises the question as to why, when the reason for th ese near death experiences is only due to hormones and a lack of oxygen, and hal lucinations, then do children and adults have such an unbelievable difference in the rate with which these near death experiences occur? Another interesting aspect of the TV program is that experiences of hell were re ported. Most near death experiences were reported as being positive. Only 10% of those researched reported an unpleasant world on the other side. They landed in a world of hate in which the beings there tortured one another, or they landed in a world of cold emptiness. According to statements made by enlightened masters, the consciousness of a pers on before death is the same as afterward. On earth, some 10% of all people live in constant misery, and are considered to be unhappy people. They suffer from de pression or sadness, or they are full of fear and aggression. When they take the se negative psychic characteristics into the aferworld, they then encounter an a fterlife which mirrors this negativity. The positive souls in the afterworld could help them somewhat. The main way to s alvation is to develop a positive consciousness in life. A spiritual life with m editation and thought exercises is a saving grace. Those who exercise spirituali ty can land in a world of light after death. Many of the enlightened do profess the existence of a world of suffering in the after life. That does not change the fact that the overall nature of the other s ide is positive. The christian portrayal of the afterworld as being mainly a hel l of sorts, where only a few souls land in light is not true. Even the beings wh o land in the world of suffering do not stay there forever. They are to be rebor n on earth until they develop in and understand the way of light. Often, experiencing suffering is the quickest way to the light. Suffering can tr igger wisdom, and wisdom leads to a spiritual life. Most of those who have an ea sy and good existence on this earth do not bother with spiritual development. Th ose who suffer from fear and deppression would like to develop their inner happi ness , and find themselves in bliss. Such individuals receive the motivation to search out a breakthrough into the light and to exercise spirituality. The arguments of the atheists The main argument of Gerald M. Woerlee (2005) is that Pam should have been awake during the operation. This argument is very questionable. With a heavy brain su rgery one can not awake and can not follow the conversations in the room and wat ch the proceedings. Especially when the blood is pumped out largely from the bra in, the ears stoppered and the eyes are connected, and a cessation of brain wave

s is measured. There are many cases of near-death experience and all to explaine by a wake at the operation is very questionable. Waking up in the anesthesia is 1.3 from 1000 people. Near-death experiences have about 30% of the people. So t he near-death experiences usually can not be explained by an awakening during th e operation. Woerlee: I can look back on more than 20 years of professional experience as an anesthesiologist, and it has always fascinated me, how the body is able to creat e seemingly paranormal experiences. So I know that this experience was caused by the interaction of the reactions of Pam Reynolds bodies and their consciousness of her situation and her anesthesia. Nils: Knowledge is an unacceptable claim. You would have said better: I believe Woerlee: Sometimes the concentration of the anesthetics for a narcotic effect is not enough. These people stay awake: they hear whats going on in their environme nt, they feel the work of surgeons and other persons and see what happens when t heir eyes are open. Nils: A wake up under anesthesia comes at 1.3 from 1000 people. Near-death exper iences have about 30% of the people. So the near-death experiences usually can n ot be explained by an awakening during the operation. If their eyes are open. Pam Reynolds eyes were closed. Woerlee: As Pam Reynolds during the operation several times was conscious, I sus pect, however, that neither isoflurane nor enflurane were used as additional ane sthetics. Without the application of these gases it is likely that the patient w akes up during surgery, and thats what happened to Pam Reynolds. Nils: You simply assert without proof that Pam Reynolds is woken up several time s during the operation. This is very unlikely. Woerlee: The screech of the saw woke Pam Reynolds. Nils: The saw does not have the volume of a chainsaw, but the buzz of an electri c toothbrush. In a deep anesthesia one does not awake from this. Woerlee: She could hear people talking to each other. Nils: The ears were stoppered. There flowed no brain waves. The blood was withdr awn from the brain part. It is very unlikely that she could follow the operation talks. Woerlee: A malfunction of the brain, triggered by the interaction of anesthetics with the abnormal function of muscle fibers evoked the body experience. Nils: That is a claim without sufficient evidence. Woerlee: The high-frequency sound of the pneumatic saw, together with the subseq uent feeling that her skull was sawed open, called in her memories the image of a device that looked like a dentist drill. Nils: You use the term safe when you think highly speculative. You try to convince the reader your view of things. Pam Reynolds said, however, that she had expect ed a kind of saw. And she described previously completely unknown details: I had assumed that they would open the skull with a saw. I had heard the term saw, but what I then saw reminded me more of a drill. There were also several small dril ls in a box that looked like the tool box of my father when I was a child. On closer inspection, the arguments of Woerlee dissolve. There are thousands of further researches. Who wants to know exactly, should familiarize themselves tho roughly in the research. I did that to me. And other people did so too and came to the same results as I. The experts largely agree that there is no natural explanation. At the moment, t he most speaks for the duality of the brain and soul. Even in science is hotly d ebated. There are different camps. There are the materialists and the holistic t hinker. And thats good. The result is progress. ---> Quote from the homepage of the Human base project in December 2009: The att ending physician, Dr. Spetzler does not believe that Pam could know the facts fr om a previous observation: There were the devices for her just not visible. The d rills and the other things were covered or wrapped. They will not be discovered or unpacked, before the patient is not fully asleep. This is necessary to keep t he area sterile. In this phase of the operation, no one can see or hear something. It is inconceivable that in this phase senses like hearing do work. Apart from that, we put earphones for the click test in her ears. There was no way for her

to hear the talks. Discussion about Woerlee in an internet forum: Atheist: there are other explanations for the near-death research. Nils: Give me your other statements. There are no reasonable explanations but th e independence of consciousness from the body. Atheist: most had an anesthesia. Nils: The near-death experiences dont come from the anesthesia. Then all anesthes ia patients should have near-death experiences. There have only 30% of the peopl e such experiences. How should an anesthetic make that one can see with closed e yes and hear with closed ears? Atheist: The art of recording the information is unclear. Nils: Pam Reynolds reported from a hovering above her body with her soul. Her ob servations during the operation speak for a consciousness independent from the b ody. If the things unclear for you, that must not apply to all. Some people are capable of logical conclusions. A consciousness independent from the body explai ns the events very well. All other explanations have logical defects. The greate st likelihood is for a consciousness independent from the body. ---> Review by skeptic Gerald Woerlee of Chris Carter The death of the 16. Karmapa 16th Karmapa Enlightened Tibetan masters traditionally stay in their bodies for three days af ter death. This is recognized by the fact that their bodies do not begin to deco mpose and that the heart chakra is warm. This fact can be explained with the con tinuation of life after death. The 16th Karmapa died in 1981 in a hospital in Ch icago. He stayed three days after his death with his soul in his body. The body did not rot in that time and the heart region was warm. Dr. Levy cared for him u ntil his death: 48 hours after his death, his chest was still warm. In this moment, my hands were both warm, and his chest was warmer than my hand. In order to test this, I move d my hands to the side of his chest, away from his heart, and there it was cold. I then felt the middle again, and above his heart it was warm. I pinched his sk in and found that it was still elastic and completely normal. After 36 hours, th e dead typically have skin comparable to dough. And his skin was still like that of the living after 48 hours. It was as if he werent dead. Shortly after we left the room, the surgeon came and said, he is warm, he is warm. And then it came to be that the medical staff asked again and again if he were still warm. It was n aturally consistent to the traditional Tibetan experience. Developed individuals like his Holiness stay in their bodies after breath and heartbeat have stopped, within a state of deep meditation. After three days the Samadhi ended. It was r ecognized that his Holiness was no longer warm and that the process of death set in. After this, the atmosphere changed, it too became normal.(Quotes buddhismusheute.de) Discussion Over the Death of the Karmapa Nils: The Tibetan masters have considered how they can prove the existence of th e soul beyond death. They prove this in that after physical death, the soul rema ins in the body for three days. Enlightened masters possess this ability. This i s recognizable in that the heart chakra remains warm and the body doesnt decompos e, and the presence of the master can be perceived by sensitive people. What is special in the case of the Karamapa is that he selected a normal, Wester n hospital in America, with average, everyday doctors as witnesses. Interesting is that the Karmapa had already died to the point where the doctors had given up a nd had turned off the measuring devices when the Karmapa returned to his body an d lived on, according to the reports of the doctors responsible for treating him . These things cannot be explained in material terms. I dont know of any account of this matter in which atheists could make some comment. They remain silent whe n presented with the facts. Thale: All of these examples do not serve as proof for life after death. Nils: Amit Goswami established that an information field (the Other Side, a quan

tum field, a higher dimension, consciousness field) must exist behind the materi al cosmos. That can be proven according to quantum physics. To get more into det ail, I recommend the book The Conscious Universe from Amit Goswami, and the book G ods Secret Thoughts, from Volker Becker. Even the String theory, which dominates p hysics at the moment, says that a higher dimension is recognized as existing in the material cosmos. A higher field of information is implied in the String Theo ry. The big question is only whether the human brain can really build an indepen dent quantum field capable of existing in the context of a higher information fi eld after death. Drr implied it according to near death research. According to th e Karmapa case and statements made by clairvoyants and enlightened individuals, it is likely. A complete change of point of view on the part of science is repre sented here, which most atheists have unfortunately failed to notice. I am here to change that. Thale: The Karmapa case could have been the result of any number of things. Nils: Thats right. But up to now, no one has been able to explain it. The continu ed existence of the soul after death is the most probable explanation up to this point. So long as the further existence of the soul after death is likelier tha n the non-existence of it, one should live oriented around this idea. Thale: The Karmapa case proves life after death as exactly as it does the existe nce of an invisible unicorn. Nils: You have a sense of humor. Your logical ability to think could still use s ome development, however. It doesnt refer to the existence of invisible unicorns, but according to near-death research and quantum physics, for the existence of a soul independent of the body. The warmth of the chest after death in connectio n to an invisible unicorn can only emanate from the overactive imagination of a dogmatic atheist. Thale: This phenomenon can neither be explained, nor conceived of. Nils: For a dogmatic atheist it is inconceivable, because this atheist simply re fuses to believe it. He would rather give up his understanding than his belief i n atheism. Thale: The Karmapa incident can also be attributed to genetic makeup, coincidenc e, imagination, through any number of things. Nils: This statement proves your lack of insight. A warm heart chakra definitely cannot be explained through genetic predisposition. Who can think up such nonse nse? Coincidence isnt a very good argument either, particularly when said coincid ence occurs again and again. The enlightened masters of Tibetan Buddhism spend t hree days after death in their bodies, and there are hundreds of examples of thi s on record. I also find it amazing that you refer to hundreds of other phenomen a without giving sources. You are well-schooled in Sophism, but every sophist ca n be proved wrong with clear reasoning. I have also forgotten the point relating to imagination. The Karmapa died in a western hospital. That a doctor in such a setting would imagine a warm heart chakra and elastic skin, is unlikely. He exa mined the Karmapa thoroughly after death, because he could hardly believe his ow n observations. Furthermore, there are many similar cases and the rest of the ho spital staff also saw the Karmapa. Thale: Show me the evidence for the existence of an afterlife. Nils: If you want evidence, look at near death research, the death of the Karmap a, the reports of the afterlife from clairvoyants and the enlightened, the exper iences acquired through regression therapy, reincarnation research, quantum phys ics experiments (especially Alain Aspect, but many other experiments are describ ed in the book by Amit Goswami). Parapsychology also indicates the existence of higher cosmic dimensions. Thale: But you need to show us the basis for your knowledge that you use to prov e the sceptics wrong. Nils: The basis of the existence of the soul after death is the duality from the body and the consciousness. The soul is consciousness energy. The soul consists of thoughts and feelings. The soul is a cloud of consciousness that is in and a round the body. The soul is an oscillating connection to a higher cosmic informa tion field. The deciding point is whether there is such a higher cosmic informat ion field. The experiments conducted in quantum physics speak in favor of this.

The string theory also speaks in favor of it. The findings of near death researc h and the expriences of clairvoyants also refer to the existence of a higher inf ormation field. There are many indications for the existence of a higher cosmic dimension. When there is such a higher dimension, then it is quite possible that the consciousness of humans can also survive after death. Reincarnation research Nils (Nobody60), 2012 Wikipedia: reincarnation research. The reincarnation research approaches more an d more to the fact that there are past lives. Thousands of reports were investig ated . The witnesses could accurately describe the previous places and situation s, although they were never there and had heard nothing about it in the normal w ay. The most well-known reincarnation researcher in the West is Professor Ian St evenson from the University of Virginia. He examined over the course of 40 years over 3.000 reincarnations situations throughout the world. Often, he noticed si milarities in behavior and bodily signals in line with the former incarnation. One of the most well-known cases of reincarnation in India is Shanti Devi. She w as born in 1926 in New Delhi and could remember her previous life as a house wif e in Mathura. Although she was never in that location, she was able to describe her previous husband, her previous house, and the city itself. She could even re member where she had always hidden her money in her former life. Nobody60, "My beliefs are based mainly on my own experiences. I have seen about thousand previous lifes in the course of my spiritual cleansing processes. After seven years as a Yogi, I was suddenly overcome by the wish to know my earlier l ife. I went back in my meditation to a previous time and felt resonance with a p articular time. I felt a sort of resistance, and looked in that direction and co uld spiritually see four earlier lifes. After eleven years as a Yogi, many former lifes came in dreams to the surface of my consciousness. Differing from the cons cious perceptions while meditating, very clear film-like scenes- appeared. I cou ld see the details of the situations and the environment I was in at the time of the previous life. From the single pictures I could see geographical details."( The Science of Proving Gods Existence) See also Search for Near-death experienceon Wikipedia. Search for Reincarnation onWikipedia.

The Garden of Eden. Living in God. The Afterworld The other side (in the spirit world) consists of many regions. The more closely one looks into it, the more energy levels (or consciousness dimensions) can be s een. One could divide this spirit world int a thousand, into fourteen, into seve n, three, or even one area (heaven). In Christianity, heaven is often spoken of. Paul the Apostle saw three Heavens i n the course of his trip to the Afterlife. In Yoga, it is said that there are a thousand levels of enlightenment. Mainly, three worlds are considered (material cosmos, Bhur), the astral world (the energy world, the world of spirit, Bhuva), and the world of light (heaven, the dimension of enlightenment, Svarloka). In the West, the most well-known concept of heaven is that of seven heavens. Eve

ryone knows the saying I feel like Im in seventh heaven. Connected with this saying is the concept of the biggest sense of happiness. According to this teaching, s eventh heaven is where the most all-encompassing happiness to be found, and unde r this level the six smaller heavens have slightly less. The Four Astral Worlds Lets say there are seven energy regions. When we die, we first come to the lower astral world. In Yoga, this is considered part of the earth and named Bhurloka. The lower astral world (the ether world) is part of the earth and is around the earth. This is the energy level next to the material world. We leave the body wi th our spirit and find ourselves suddenly next to our bodies. We our now compose d of consciousness energy. We can see our bodies and the people in the material world, but they cannot see us. The lower astral world is the world of spirits. Spirits are beings with slightly developed consciousness. They are possessed of seven emotions: rage, fear, sadn ess, dullness, addiction, jealousy, and pride. The most dominating of these emot ions in the lower astral world is that of addiction. The beings in the lower ast ral world are mainly hunger ghosts (Pretas). They always want something and neve r get enough. They are never content. All people with a tendency towards addicti on land in this world after they die. They live according to this temperament af ter they die. The hunger ghosts do not realize they only need to change their consciousness. O ne only needs to orient oneself to inner happiness. These spirits only need to l eave their search towards outer things and concentrate on happiness within. The characteristics of frugality, humility, temperance, positivity, and all-encompas sing love as well as inner peace should be exercised. Then the soul becomes free and rises to the next highest consciousness level. The lower astral world is already a sort of heaven. The all-around happiness of the soul is somewhat higher than that on earth. The souls there do not possess b odies and are therefore free of all bodily suffering. They are closer to God tha n the beings on earth, if only a bit closer. The really tragic aspect of the lower astral world is the reality that a much hi gher level of happiness is possible. The souls there only needed to concentrate more on the way of inner happiness during their time on earth. They should have exercised positive thinking more, and they would have gained so much from that. They only need to be a bit happier during their lives. Those who devote just fiv e minutes per day towards a spiritual life and a positive life can go so much fu rther in the afterlife. The second heaven is the middle astral world. This exists to the very edge of th e cosmos. The souls in the middle astral world are not so attracted to life on t he earth and the forms of enjoyment to be found there. They can therefore move a bout the entire cosmos. They can go to the region of stars. Every star has a dif ferent sort of energy, and every soul can settle itself in the realm of a star a nd stay there as long as it likes. They can meet similar souls in this region. The level of happiness in the middle astral world is already larger than that of the lower astral world. The level of happiness is even higher in the upper astr al world, the third heaven. The souls there administer the cosmos, the stars, an d the earth, but their concentration is elsewhere. They do not focus on material things, rather, on positive ideas. Every soul in the third heaven has a task in life that makes he or she happy. The fourth heaven is the world of positive souls. They have a positive system of beliefs. They follow love, peace, and truth. They are not totally enlightened i n that they still have strong egos. They can control the negative tendencies of their spirits and concentrate on positive. All souls who are positive with one a nother can therefore establish a positive world. A positive belief system could be established by a loving Christianity, a tolera nt Islam, a peaceful Hinduism, or a loving Buddhism. An Atheist Humanist could a lso land here after death. Because consciousness after death is the consciousnes s before death, all positive people can continue to be so after death. They crea te forms of life with their consciousness. They move friends and relatives into this afterworld with whom they would like to work with further.

Three Worlds of Light Blessing. The fifth heaven is the first world of light. This light world is a paradise. Th is paradise cannot be described with human words. In paradise, souls live in a s tate of enlightenment. Just as enlightenment cannot be described in words, this paradise is equally indescribable. One can only begin to touch upon the surface using words as symbols, but it is only a basic understanding that can be reached under such terms. The first important statement regarding this paradise is that enlightenment and this paradise are two sides of the same coin. One side has one image on it, perh aps a head. The other has another image, perhaps a number on it. The essence of the coin is the gold it is composed of. The gold here is compared to God, the li fe in light. The head is the happiness, the enlightenment, and the number is the happiness in and around us, the outer richness of this state. Enlightenment is to really be aware of the light and the happiness within onesel f. Paradise is to recognize the bliss in the world around oneself. Both are ther efore connected because only a happy person can really see the positive aspects of the world. Only those who think positively can see the positive in the world, and only those who are positive with the world around themselves can really be happy. The souls in paradise (the world of light) are happy within themselves and are a lso happy with the world around them. One can only get to this paradise by being happy with oneself. It is helpful to exercise spiritual practices such as yoga and meditation. The main technique for entrance into the world of light is the disintegration of the ego. The souls in paradise live in a state of love and the giving of love. They consider other souls to be more important. They are not egoistic, rather al truistic. The dissolving of the exaggerated I consciousness is the central point of enlighte nment. It is also the central element of life in paradise. Those who wish to end up in paradise must work towards dissolving the ego. They need to develop such characteristics as inner peace, all-encompassing love, and truth. One needs to l ive more for others than for oneself. God (inner happiness) must be the main poi nt of life. Those who grow spiritually during their lives can end up in this wor ld of light after death. The first world of light (the fifth heaven) is the region of the smaller enlight ened souls. These souls are considered the blessed within Christianity. The firs t light world can be described symbolically as a world of flowers. It is a world of plenty. In Christianity, this paradise is a garden full of fruit, such as th e Garden of Eden. In Islam, it is seen as a world of springtime full of beautifu l people. In Yoga, it is a mountain landscape with lots of flowers and a pleasan t temperature. All beings there live with one another positively. It is a world full of love, flowers, and sunshine. The portrayals of paradise in the various religions differ widely. It must be un derstood that these portrayals are merely symbolic. These afterworlds are descri bed in such a way that we people in various cultures can understand them. When w e imagine a lovely vacation land where all the people are happy, we have some id ea of paradise. The various forms of paradise on earth are limited. The paradise in heaven is eternal, and we can be happy there forever. In Buddhism, there are many understandings of paradise. Buddha concentrated on t he life in light (Nirvana, the highest paradise). The Amitabhabuddhismus (the te achings of the pure land) is portrayed as having bright flowers and happy people . In Tibetan Buddhism, this paradise is considered to have mountains with flowin g springs, trees with crystals, and joyful birds. Everyone can imagine these forms of paradise in his or her own way. The only imp ortant point is that this heaven is a world of love, peace, happiness, and light . In the fifth heaven there is a place where one can live with relatives and acqua

intances happily. This is called Pitr Loka in Yoga. There are also places where one can exercise oneself spiritually. This place is called Sadhana Loka. There i s a place to exercise for Karma Yogis, who are Yogis concerned with helping othe rs, and for Hatha yogis, who are concerned with bodily exercise and meditation. In Christianity, the world of angels is the most commonly considered place for s piritual practice, for spiritual cultivation. The angels praise God, pray, sing, and develop further in the light. The sixth heaven is the world of the holy. The holy are closer to God than the b lessed. Their happiness is slightly higher than that of the souls in the first p aradise. Each holy individual has let go of the ego and lives in essence and lig ht, and feels to be of light (of happiness energy), rather than to be a person. This type of soul lives in love, peace, and in happiness and has a highly develo ped cosmic consciousness. The holy souls in the sixth heaven are still beings which can deal and administe r. They can send their fellow souls light and facilitate spiritual practices. Th ey live from their point of being and act positively, at times, for the world. O n the other side, it is generally the case that souls on higher planes can visit souls on the lower planes. The enlightened souls can therefore go to all other souls in the lower heavens and make contact on earth. They can send positive tho ughts and power. Symbolically, we can imagine the fifth heaven as being full of happy people and the sixth heaven as a place full of wise men and women. The wise women and men b eam with peace, calmness, and love that streams from them. They are seen as inne r happiness and holiness. One can sense the holy energy that emanates from these souls. They are an expression, an extension of God. The holy women and men have the chance to go into the light, at which point they must dissolve fully of their individual egos. There are three ways to evolve spiritually. We can go the way of love, power, or happiness. The way of love means to see all other beings as love and we visuali ze them as gods or holy beings, and this way we ourselves become such. The way o f wisdom consists of imagining the unity of the cosmos and identifying the cosmo s according to our spiritual example. The way of power can be brought on with spiritual practice, such as with mantras , breath exercises, and bodily exercise. We let our happiness energy flow, and o ur entire thoughts are stopped and we rest for a time. This triggers an inner ch ange. From this emptiness and lack of striving, we can let the light of God come in. Happiness, peace, and love, as well as the wisdom of God flow within. Then we are in the seventh heaven. In the seventh heaven, duality ceases to be. The soul rests still within God. Lo ve, happiness, and peace in the seventh heaven are so big that there is no more room for movement. The holy beings here are simply enjoy their rest within God. They can, however, get active again. They can return to the sixth heaven and so work for the happiness of all other beings. In the seventh heaven, all outer forms cease to be. The soul takes only energy, love, and light to be true. However, this energy is still an individual consciou sness within God. The soul does not cease to exist. Souls can unite into one at the end of the time, and then divide again. According to Hindu philosophy, the c osmos is a system of eternal coming and going. The seventh heaven (the third world of light) is the absolute highest level of h appiness within the cosmos. It is God himself. This is rest within God. We could describe this area as a large sun. The sun consists of strong light. This consi sts of happiness, love, and vast peace. Only spiritually developed souls can rea ch this region. We have to be strong enough to keep the energy of God within. When we are one with God, there is nothing left to be achieved. We have realized our goal as souls. We have achieved our full selves and we have reached utter c ontentment. Teresa von Avila explains that God alone is enough. In God we have an end to all our wishes. Before we can reach this life in God, we can never be tru ly satisfied. People are geared towards this search for God, and through God the sense of life is achieved. The Eighth Heaven

Hieronymus Bosch - Paradise. The eighth heaven is found above the seven heavens. It is everything in one, the connection of light and love in one dynamic, unified entity. It is life in ligh t and the ability to affect in the lower worlds (earth and the astral world). When we allow our happiness and enlightened bliss to permeate beyond the world o f light, the happiness grows. The further we succeed in dissolving the ego, the more expansive is our level of happiness. If we live for the happiness of others , rather than our own happiness, we then become a kind of cosmic mother or fathe r of all beings. God exists in essence as a mother and a father of all beings. H e or she wants all beings to come to live in happiness and to come to the sevent h heaven one day. This ist the way of a spiritual master. A spiritual master devotes his or her li fe to the service of others. Who wants to live as a spiritual master, should first of all even walk the spiri tual path to the destination. Or he should practice a dual path. He should make himself spiritually to the target and simultaneously take all of his fellow men. Both ways are possible in yoga. One can live many years as a yogi first and the n return after his enlightenment in the world in order to help his fellow human beings. Or you live simultaneously as a yogi and a Karma-yogi (spiritual teacher ). Who lives in the eighth heaven, lives in the ultimate double happiness. One live s in the light (in God) and additionally in the dimension of true love (in the h eart of their followers). But this way is to go even harder than the normal spir itual path. It requires much wisdom, if you want to help the many souls in the c osmos. One often has to take grief into account, in order to lead his fellows we ll on the way into the light. A spiritual master takes it into stride by bringing all the elements into balanc e within. The inner calm is achieved through outer peace in the form of time for oneself, spiritual exercises and trust in God. He deliveres essentially the lea dership of the great masters and the spontaneous activity of life. The path of love is a mystery. He feels like a way of sacrifice and ends in the overall happiness. One day, suddenly starts to flow the inner happiness and fill s the whole world. Paradise Meditation With this meditation, we purify our mind of stress. We learn something about the way to Paradise. We get into a life in the light. We realize happiness in our l ife. We become a master of life and awaken our enlightenment energy. The Body We concentrate on our bodies and through this process bring the spirit into a st ate of peace. We sense this through our legs and feet as we let the light circul ate through our lower limbs. We think of the word light as our mantra. We let the light then circulate through our arms and hands while envisioning the word light. We then wrap our entire bodies in a vision of light and think of the word at the same time. Then we relax. Energy Cloud We begin our ascent to heaven. First we enter the astral world. We become a soul . We then visualize a cloud composed of very fine energy which encircles the bod y. We are this cloud. We concentrate on the cloud and not our bodies. We leave t he body and think of the mantra I am a cloud. I am a soul. I am independent from my body. We think of this mantra until we can feel this cloud. Stars We visualize the entire cosmos around us as full of stars. Our souls can travel anywhere they so desire. We meditate on the cosmos. We think of the mantra stars. We make large circles with the arms until we feel at one with the cosmos. We fee l secure with our place in the world, we are at one with the world. The World of Positive Souls We land in the upper astral world, beyond the material cosmos. This is the world of positive souls. We become positive unto ourselves. We consider the positive points in our lives. We think of the mantra Positive in my life is... We count as

many positive things as possible, until the soul is glowing with positivity. The World of Happy Souls Over the positive souls are the blessed souls. We are now in paradise. We imagin e that all our wishes have been fulfilled. What do you wish? Fulfill them or let go of them here. Define the point where you have reached enough. Create content ment with your life. My way to contentment is... The World of the Holy Blessing Jesus Christ. Above the world of the happy souls lies the world of the enlightened. We become sons and daughters of God, Gods and Goddesses, enlightened Buddhas. We wish for a happy world. We envision the following: I send light to... May all people be ha ppy. May the world be a happy world. The Great Transformation We move our hand to bless the entire cosmos with love and light. We move light i nto all areas of suffering. We send all suffering beings light. We surround them with light and think of the mantra I send light to all suffering beings. We think of all the problems in our lives and surround these problems with light. We int egrate our problems into our life. We become masters of our lives. We surround a ll our lifes situations with light. Seventh Heaven We come to the seventh heaven. We visualize a sun with strong energy composed of peace, love and happiness. The hands lay relaxed in the lap. We think of the ma ntra, Om sun, peace, love, happiness, living in the light. We fill our souls with peace, love, happiness and light, and rest in the light of God (in bliss, in the enlightenment energy). Enlightened Masters We connect ourselves with the enlightened masters. We rub the palms of our hands in front of the heart chakra and think,"Om all enlightened masters. Om inner wi sdom. Please guide me and help me on my way. We feel how the energy flows with th e mantra into us. Return We move our feet slowly, then stretch and wiggle a bit. We then return to earth and our daily lifes. We are filled with peace, love and optimism. Meditation Music Search for Garden of Eden onWikipedia. Search for Heaven on Wikipedia.

Indian reincarnation. First a worldly life, then a scientist, and then an enligh tened yogi. <God Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical belief that the soul or spirit,

after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, anima l or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions. Wikipedia: This doctrine is a central tenet of the Indian religions and is a bel ief that was held by Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates. It is also a common belief of pagan religions such as Druidism, Spiritism, Theosophy, and Eckankar and is f ound in many tribal societies around the world, in places such as Siberia, West Africa, North America, and Australia. Although the majority of Judaism, Christia nity and Islam do not believe that individuals reincarnate, particular groups wi thin these religions do refer to reincarnation. In Judaism, the Hasidic tzadik w as believed to know the past lives of each person through his semi-prophetic abi lities. In recent decades, many Europeans and North Americans have developed an interest in reincarnation. Some university researchers, such as Ian Stevenson an d Jim B. Tucker, have explored the issue of reincarnation and published reports of children's memories of earlier lives in peer-reviewed journals. Skeptics have stated that more reincarnation research is needed. Between 20 and 30 percent of persons in western countries believe in reincarnation. (...) Though the major Christian denominations reject the concept of reincarnation, a large number of Christians profess the belief. In a survey by the Pew Forum in 2 009, 24% of American Christians expressed a belief in reincarnation. In a 1981 S urvey in Europe 31% of regular churchgoing Catholics expressed a belief in reinc arnation. Geddes MacGregor, an Episcopalian priest who is Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, a recipient of the California Literature Award, an d the first holder of the Rufus Jones Chair in Philosophy and Religion at Bryn M awr, demonstrates in his book Reincarnation in Christianity: A New Vision of the Role of Rebirth in Christian Thought, that Christian doctrine and reincarnation are not mutually exclusive belief systems. Wikipedia (de): The major Christian churches and, accordingly, most theologians reject the idea of reincarnation. However, there are mainly in the esoteric lite rature of the past decades, numerous biblical interpretations in which quotation s from the New as well as the Old Testament are interpreted as evidences for rei ncarnation. This is supported by the Protestant theologian Helmut Obst: "In the Bible exists no clear teaching of reincarnation. But there are a few passages wh ich contain statements that can be understood in terms of reincarnation. In part icular, the Elijah-Baptist-issue in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark make it impo ssible to say that the New Testament know not at all the idea of reincarnation. It is about John the Baptist, known as the returned prophet Elijah (Matthew 11:1314 EU)." Wikipedia (de): Reincarnation research examines memories that have been interpre ted as such from a previous life. It examines whether this cases can be explaine d as fraud, deceit or by psychological, psychic or spiritualistic assumptions. F or so not explicable cases the reincarnation research thinks the existence of an actual reincarnation is possible. Reincarnation research Nils, 2012 One of the most well-known cases of reincarnation in India is Shanti Devi. She w as born in 1926 in New Delhi and could remember her previous life as a house wif e in Mathura. Although she was never in that location, she was able to describe her previous husband, her previous house, and the city itself. She could even re member where she had always hidden her money in her former life. Nils: "My beliefs are based mainly on my own experiences. I have seen about thou sand previous lives in the course of my spiritual cleansing processes. After sev en years as a Yogi, I was suddenly overcome by the wish to know my earlier life. I went back in my meditation to a previous time and felt resonance with a parti cular time. I looked in that direction and could spiritually see four earlier life s. If you dissolve systematically all tensions in the body and in the spirit wit h spiritual exercises, one day you reach the stress situations of your earlier l ifes. This is what happened at St. Anthony, the founder of the Christian desert

fathers. He saw how he was eaten in his past lifes by bigger animals. Visions of demonic beasts appeared in his mind's eye. All the major stress is stored in th e soul. If the tensions dissolve, dip in dreams or visions short scenes (short f ilms) of the stress situations. The solution process is often associated with in tense physical reactions such as restlessness, tremors, heat or cold. First I re solved the tensions of my present life. In short movie scenes I saw stressful ex am situations, relationship conflicts and repressed accidents. Since I still had the stressful events in the memory, the connection between spiritual practice, the resolution of inner tensions and the appearence of solution dreams became cl ear. I learned to distinguish solution dreams from normal dreams. After eleven y ears as a Yogi, many former lifes came in dreams to the surface of my consciousn ess. Differing from the conscious perceptions while meditating, very clear films like short videos appeared. I could see the details of the situations and the e nvironment I was in at the time of the previous life. From the single pictures I could see geographical details." The Goal of Reincarnation Questioner: Isnt the goal of reincarnation religions to become free of the painfu l cycle of life? Nils: See it in a positive light. It is a wonderful thing to be able to live aga in and again for eternity. When your body is old and used up, you lay it down an d you get a new one. Then the party goes on. You can live on earth as long as yo u want. When the earth is no longer inhabitable, we can look for a new star, est ablish a new Wikiversity and have more fun there. And when we dont feel like doing that anymore, there is also a way out of the gam e. We will all become yogis, go towards enlightenment, and we will move up spiri tually and above the eternal dance of joy and pain. We will then live in a light dimension. According to the yoga teachings, every enlightened yogi has the choi ce if he or she would like to return to the earth or to live forever in the worl d of light. With her or his last thoughts (mantra or prayer) she or he decide th e future of her or his soul. I favor the middle path. Akarma-yogi (bodhisattva) lives with in the light dimension (in God) and also in the world of material. Th en you can enjoy life a little bit, help all beings and grow spiritually. Discussion Blessings Jesus Christ. (Jesus.de and Politikstube.de, 2012) Nicodemus (Catholic theologian): If reincarnation is proven, we would have to ac cept it, of course. Aaron: In our time, more and more people believe in reincarnation. They believe that man, after a stay in the afterlife returns to the earth. Katrin: There are special "knowing Mystics" like Nils, who say that there is rei ncarnation. I'm not impressed at all. Reincarnation does not exist. "The man is set to live once, die once and after this the judgment" - quoted from the Epistl e to the Romans. Nils: Thanks for pointing this out. It is the teaching of Paul. Jesus, however, accepted reincarnation. I refer to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 11, where Jesu s was asked if John the Baptist has come back ( was reborn) as Elijah: "And if y ou are willing to accept what I say, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said wou ld come." (Matthew 11:14) Apparently, Jesus believed in reincarnation. "As he we nt along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinn ed, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Neither this man nor his pare nts sinned, said Jesus, but this happened so that the works of God might be displa yed in him."(John 9:1-3. Here Jesus assumed the possibility of reincarnation. Ho w else could someone be born blind from his own sin? I believe that the teachings of the paradise and the doctrine of reincarnation a re not contradictory. Both is possible. A soul can choose to be reborn or to be cleaned further in the afterlife. It is even possible that a soul ascends to hea ven and one day returns to earth to help the people on earth spiritually. This h appens often in Hinduism and Buddhism. Even in Christianity, it is possible that

saints return to earth. This clearly is the statement of Jesus about Elijah. An d Jesus also wants to come back to earth one day. Jesus teaches the doctrine of reincarnation, and especially that it is possible for an enlightened to incarnat e on earth to help his fellow man. And that exactly corresponds to the path of u niversal love. Wikipedia: Parousia is an ancient Greek word meaning arrival. The word is used 2 4 times in the New Testament. The main use in theology is to refer to the second coming of Christ. See also Afterlife Paradise External links Catholic Encyclopedia Jewish KNOWLEDGE BASE Google scholar

You are a yogi or a yogini, if you practise Yoga for health, beauty, strongness, relexation or healing. You are a yogi, if you practise Yoga for inner peace, ha ppiness and enlightenment. You are a yogi, if you are enlightened. Enlightenment means to live in God, in the light, in a cosmic consciousness. In modern Yoga y our religion is free. Yoga teaches the unity of all religions. You can be a yogi and a hindu, a christ, a moslem, a buddhist or an atheist. Spiritually, humans can be compared to onions. Tension and conflict must be dissolved layer by layer . When one layer is peeled away, the next quickly appears at the surface until t he inner core is revealed. At this point, a lasting inner joy is found, and the Yogi or Yogini lives in light (despite the fact there is still much to be done). Wikipedia: Yoga is the Hindu practice of physical, mental, and spiritual discipl ine, originating in ancient India. The goals of yoga are varied and range from i mproving health to achieving moksha (spiritual freedom, elightenment). In the We st, the term "yoga" is today typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas (postures) or as a form of exercise. In the 1960s, western interest in Hindu sp irituality reached its peak, giving rise to a great number of Neo-Hindu schools specifically advocated to a western public. A second "yoga boom" followed in the 1980s, as Dean Ornish, a follower of Swami Satchidananda, connected yoga to hea rt health, legitimizing yoga as a purely physical system of health exercises out side of counter culture or esotericism circles, and unconnected to a religious d enomination. Some Christians integrate yoga and other aspects of Eastern spiritu ality with prayer and meditation. This has been attributed to a desire to experi ence God in a more complete way. Christian meditation is a form of prayer in which a structured attempt is made t o get in touch with and deliberately reflect upon the revelations of God. Christ ian meditation is the process of deliberately focusing on specific thoughts (suc h as a bible passage) and reflecting on their meaning in the context of the love of God. Christian meditation aims to heighten the personal relationship based o n the love of God. Teachings in both the Eastern and Western Christian churches have emphasized the use of Christian meditation as an element in increasing one' s knowledge of Christ. Christian meditation involves looking back on Jesus' life , thanksgiving and adoration of God for his action in sending the Son for salvat ion. In her book The Interior Castle (Mansions 6, Chapter 7) Saint Teresa of Avi la defined Christian meditation as follows: "By meditation I mean prolonged reas oning with the understanding, in this way. We begin by thinking of the favor whi ch God bestowed upon us by giving us His only Son; and we do not stop there but proceed to consider the mysteries of His whole glorious life." St. Theresa viewe d Christian meditation as the first of four steps in achieving "union with God", and used the analogy of watering the garden. She compared basic meditation to w atering a garden with a bucket, Recollection to the water wheel, Quiet (contempl ation) to a spring of water and Union to drenching rain. Thomas Merton character

ized the goal of Christian meditation as follows: "The true end of Christian med itation is practically the same as the end of liturgical prayer and the receptio n of the sacraments: a deeper union by grace and charity with the Incarnate Word , who is the only Mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ." Christian meditat ion is different from the style of meditations performed in Eastern religions (s uch as Buddhism) or in the context of the New Age. While other types of meditati on may suggest approaches to disengage the mind, Christian meditation aims to fi ll the mind with thoughts related to Biblical passages or Christian devotions. Nils Life as a Yogi Yogi Nils. Spiritually, humans can be compared to onions. Tension and conflict must be diss olved layer by layer. When one layer is peeled away, the next quickly appears at the surface until the inner core is revealed. At this point, a lasting inner jo y is found, and the Yogi or Yogini lives in light (despite the fact there is sti ll much to be done). Nils experienced many intense cleansing processes along the path as a Yogi. Heat and cold flooded his body. Fear coursed through his spirit, doubts plagued him. Sometimes he felt dull and inactive. His muscles ticked and relieved themselves of tension. For many years Nils had to work through his sadness. He grieved for the loss of Helga, Petra, the Eco-woman, the Sex Goddess, and the Yoga Woman. H e grieved over his youth, the loss of his career goals, his lonely life and the suffering and rage in general. Then he returned to his spiritual goals and conti nued with self-discipline to the way of enlightenment. The first four years saw a continuous forward progress. After he became used to his new situation, defined his goals, and found the appropriate exercises, many old stressful situations were easier to handle and he returned to his state of h appiness. In his dreams he lived through past exam situations, school stress and negative experiences from his childhood. All these stress situations dissolved and receded. His entire past life stress dissolved from his sub-conscious. His so ul experienced calm and peace. In January 1989, Nils dreamt of a small cottage which stood on pillars in the mi ddle of the sea. Then came a storm and the cottage crashed into the sea. The cot tage was a symbol of his old self. That old self went under and made room for th e experience of inner joy. Nils woke up and perceived the energy of happiness co ursing through his body, and felt as though he were swimming in a sea of joy. In 1990 he wrote a book called Positive Thinking, Basics and Techniques. In writin g this book, he pushed open the question of how important the life of being is i n order to be happy. Who lives in being, can be at peace with life. He lives ver y relaxed. Such a way of life dissolve well all the internal tension. On the oth er hand it is on the Yoga Way too important to practice every day consistently. Even the intense spiritual practice is an important way to resolve the tension. There are two different schools of yoga. One teaching is to live based on existe nce (Ramana Maharshi, Lao Tzu, Buddha) and the other focuses on the spiritual pr actice (Swami Shivananda, Sai Baba, Amma, the Dalai Lama). Who is right? Nils had to answer the question for himself. He busied himself everyday with the question of existence to the point where he continued to consider the question even when asleep. As he woke up in the morning, he was in a deep state of enligh tenment. His spirit had solved the problem while he was asleep. The answer was c onvincing. Enlightenment, inner happiness, and existence (being) are tightly con nected. Those who come into a deep state of being reach for enlightenment. Those who let go of all attachments to external things, relaxed so deeply in their so ul that enlightenment and inner joy can be found. Nils is of the opinion that both teachings are correct. Exercise and practice as well as merely existing are both important along the spiritual path. Each perso n must go into the self and find out what point at one moment is the most import ant for him or her. Who is prone to inertia, should emphasize the intense practi ce. Who is internally restless, should first found to be. Every type of person n

eeds a special way of approaching stillness and exercise in order to grow optima lly along the spiritual path. In the beginning of the year 1991, Nils visualized an entire cosmos full of happ y beings. He wished that all beings on earth would be happy. He identified himse lf with all beings and their wish for happiness. He thought of the mantra, may al l beings on earth find happiness. He opened his heart to all beings and suddenly he found himself in a dimension of all-encompassing love. The landscape around h im changed completely, as all was bathed in light. The thought, I am love reverber ated throughout. He had never experienced such a strong love. The whole universe was nothing but happiness and love. Nils reached a point in his endeavors toward enlightenment where such breakthrou ghs took place frequently. It was a very fascinating, but demanding time. Nils f elt inner happiness and cosmic consciousness in his being quite often, and these experiences lasted about an hour at a time. Because of this strong energy, a lo t of inner conflict was dissolved, and a difficult process of spiritual purifica tion took place. When these bouts of depression appeared, Nils then practiced sp iritual exercises, went for walks, and read spiritual books. He lay in bed and m editated for hours, until the inner turmoil receded. He sometimes also ate sweet s or watched television. The first half of 1992 was a very difficult time. Nils lived a constant roller c oaster ride, where he experienced extreme joy and extreme suffering. This consta nt change took its toll on his energy. Although he rejoiced in the experience, h e was glad when the large fluxes of energy calmed over time. He felt the huge we lls of joy less often, but also experienced the difficult phases less often, for which he was quite relieved. The autumn of 1992 saw the process of spiritual purification come to a smoother and more consistent phase. Nils attributed this to the fact that he went about t his in a more gentle fashion. Secondly, he created a routine to live by with whi ch he could avoid these periods of depression and negativity. He combined the pu rification and recovery periods with one another. In December 1995, another difficult period began. Intense energy coursed through his body, and he could scarcely sleep at night and was dull and not well-rested during the day. The last major period of spiritual cleansing was in March 2003. In a short amoun t of time, a lot of inner conflict dissolved. Nils felt as though he was being e lectrocuted, and was so warm he did not need blankets at night despite the winte r cold. After four weeks, the cosmos turned off the electricity, so to speak. Ni ls needed a week to recover. Afterwards, he ate a lot of cake. Then he felt good again. My experience of Jesus Christ Nils: "My parents are atheists. After my studies, I became a lawyer. When I was thirty, I found my spiritual calling in addition to my profession. I did three h ours of spiritual exercise daily. In November 1986 I had my first big enlightenm ent experience. During a meditation while lying down, a warm column of energy sl owly rose from my lower belly. As the energy reached my head, my self-consciousn ess disappeared, I became one with the all-encompassing love of the cosmos. I ex perienced extreme happiness. I was suddenly able to understand the holy books wr itten throughout mankind's history at a deeper level. The high point of my spiritual experience was what I felt as the entrance of the Holy Spirit. A thick beam of energy flew from the sky and into my crown chakra. The energy flowed through my body and filled it out completely. On my head was a small flame of energy. This experience is comparable with the Pentecost event. On the heads of the early Christians appeared small energy tongues. Spontaneous ly arose in me the thought that now I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit. I fe lt the energy beam as a descent of the Holy Spirit. A short time later I had another amazing experience. When I made my daily walk o ne evening, I suddenly had the feeling that I was seen from the sky. It was as i f at the sky there was a large eye that saw me. The message of this eye was: "Yo u can go your way with trust. You are guided by God." I read the Bible thoroughl y from front to back. Through my experiences of enlightenment I could now unders

tand the deep wisdom in the Scriptures. I also understood what the term "God" di d mean. In 1994, one day I layed on my bed and meditated. My thoughts always came to res t more and more. Suddenly Jesus Christ stood as a person in a great shining ligh t in the middle of the room. Back then I lived for six years as a hermit in secl usion. I knew immediately that this luminary was Jesus Christ. Jesus came to me and floated into me. I was filled with bliss. I rested for some time in this uni maginably large energy of love, peace and light. I think I got the blessing of J esus Christ for my spiritual path." Contentment Laughing Buddha Nils (2012): Last night I had a dream. I saw all the readers of my God-article. I saw that they believed in the truth of my words. Enlightenment exists. God exi sts. There is a life after death. But the readers wanted more and more. They wer e not content. They were never content. Television teaches them always to be dis content. In school they learn that they must always be better and better. All th eir life they search inner happyness and cannot get it. In my dream I thought ab out how to help them. Discontentment is a mental problem of many people in today s time. Wishes always grow. If one wish is fulfilled, the next wish appears soon . If one looks for outer luck, one will never be completly content. An enlighten ed is inwardly happy. He is even inwardly happy if his outer life is chaotic. He rests in himself and in Gott (unity consciousness). A yogi rests in the great S at-Chid-Ananda (being without attachment to outer things - unity - bliss). A chr istian rests in God (in holiness, happiness and all-embracing love). To get comp lete happiness, we have to work on our mind. We must learn positive thinking. We must learn to be content. The founder of yoga Patanjali tought the ten points o f yoga (Yoga Sutra). A yogi must train his spirit to be content. In christianity we learn to be thankful. Thankfulness is a way to happiness. Contentment is a w ay to happiness. How can we learn to be thankfull and content? Look at your mind. Find a thought that makes you thankful. Enlightenment is mostly a mental problem. Negativ think ing causes tensions in your body and your mind. You can resolve the tensions by overcoming your negative thoughts with positive thoughts and with meditation (sp iritual exercises like yoga, walking, praying). A good way to overcome your nega tive thoughts is orakel reading. There is alway one negative thought that hinder s you on enlightenment and bliss. An oracle can help you to find this negative t hought und to develope a healing positive thought. If you train every day your s pirit by positive thinking, praying or oracle reading, you can change your spiri t to happiness and to enlightenment. You only have to do it consistently every d ay untill you are enlightened. Then thankfulness, contentment and positiv thinki ng come out of the deep of your soul. I wish you that. Try oracle reading (Angel oracle, Buddha oracle, I Ching oracle, Tarot) or find your personal way of ment al work (for example thankfullness training according to Sonja Lyubomirsky). Buddha oracle 2. There are three ways to develop enlightenment. There is the path of spiritual practice (yoga, meditation, reading, walking). There is the way of all-embracin g love (do good, the bodhisattva path). And there is the path of rest (inner pea ce). The main path to inner happiness is to live in the rest. The essence of a B uddha is the inner seclusion from the world. A Buddha enshrined his soul in the transcendence (in a higher dimension of consciousness, in the Nirvana, in pure b eing, in the void / unit, in inner peace and happiness). Who lives secluded and constantly does his spiritual practice is growing five ti mes as fast as other people to enlightenment. Most people in today's time flee t he silence. They are fleeing the inner happiness. Take every opportunity to get rest. Do your spiritual exercises. Go through the uncomfortable feelings of bore dom and get an enlightened state of consciousness (unity consciousness, inner ha rmony, inner positivity). 3. Go your way with joy. What do you need to feel comfortable today? A little pl

easure (eating, drinking), some social contacts (internet forums), some slowness , some beauty (music, flowers) and some fun? If you live the joy on the spiritua l path in the right amount (not too much and not too little), it helps you to ge t spiritual victory. "My way of pleasure is ..." Forwards. Success. Saint Anthony the Great is the founder of Christian Yoga. He lived in the third century in Egypt. As a young man he had a vision in a church. Out of the empty s pace a voice spoke to him: "Do you want inner happiness, go into the desert and live as a hermit." Anthony had to go through many spiritual crises and cleaning processes, but after a few years he reached enlightenment. Exciting at St. Antho ny is the fact that he got on his spiritual path in contact with his former life s. In Christianity, the doctrine of the rebirth was later rejected largely. But only if St. Anthony had resolved all tension from his previous lifes, he was abl e to attain enlightenment. In the texts it is said that in his mind appeared wil d animals, which torn him with their teeth. Even with his sexual wishes he had t o fight. With his will power and his spiritual exercises (prayers), he overcame his worldly attachments and reached a life in the light. The main principle of S t. Anthony was, "Sit down in your hut, and your hut will teach you everything." Feel inside the right way of your daily spiritual practice. What triggers on you r inner tensions? How can you overcome your fears and desires? What exercises br ings you best into the light? His second principle was, "Some yogis need a flowe r in their hut, and some do not need a flower." Who needs a little pleasure on h is way, should give it himself every day. 12. The fastest way into light is to visualize oneself as an enlightened being ( Buddha, Yogi, Goddess) (deity yoga). Buddha = We visualize in the sky above our crown chakra our happiness model (Bud dha, a Goddess, ourselves enlightened). We rub our palms over our head and think , "Om Buddha. Om all enlightened Masters. Om inner wisdom. Please guide and help me on my way." We think the mantra until our crown chakra opens and the energy from the sky flows down to us and fills our body with happiness. Light = We move a hand in blessing before the heart chakra and think: "I send li ght to (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy." We feel really connected with all beings in the world. Cosmos = We visualize the cosmos with all stars around us. We put our hands in t he lap, circle with the thumbs, move the toes and think: "I live in a cosmic con siousness. I take all things the way they are. I flow positive with my life." Mantra = All movements come to rest. The back is straight and the belly is relax ed. We think and visualize the numbers from 1 to 20 in our head, thorax, abdomen , legs, feet and in the earth. We think and visualize the numbers in the entire universe around us. Stop = We stop a minute all thoughts completely. When thoughts arise, we push th em away. Relax = We relax. The thoughts and feelings may come and go as they want. Our bo dy and our mind clean themselves by their own. We just watch our internal affair s and remain in the meditation. At this stage of meditation, there are two big m istakes. The first mistake is that we meditate too strong. Then no thoughts appe ar and no inner tensions resolves. The second error is to force thinking. We sol ve our problems or fall into daydreams. The proper way is just to be a passive o bserver of our own emotions and thoughts. We do not control things. We only watc h everything that emerges from our inner self. We stay in a state of inner silen ce, everything dissolve by itself and suddenly we're happy. Keep = Keep your inner happiness. Make the right spiritual exercises at the righ t moment. Bring the light of peace, love and happiness in the world. Forward wit h wisdom, love and inner peace. 52. With spiritual exercises you can activate your Kundalini energy (the energy of enlightenment). You can put yourself into a state of peace, power, positivity and happiness. You can bring yourself into the light (in a life in serenity and happiness) and so flow inwardly happy through all outward problems. You can giv e yourself so much power by your spiritual exercises that you can manage good al l your life tasks. The most important spiritual exercises are reading, walking, yoga, meditation, g

ood deeds (Karma Yoga) and the daily connection with the enlightened Masters (Bu ddhas). The highest form of yoga is the wise combination of exercises and life. What exercises do you need to get successful through the day? You can live as a winner when you do the right exercises at the right moment. Save yourself by you r spiritual exercises. Success! Sitting, walking and mental work: Inner happiness appears if the tensions in the body and in the mind are resolved . Buddha developed a very simple yet genius practice. This consisted of sitting, going, and mental work. When one varies ones activities between body work, mental work and meditation, the inner conflict and tension can be done away. When a per son only meditates, the spirit becomes dull and listless. Routine movement makes the spirit clear, keeps the body healthy and gives the person inner energy. If you only go or do Yoga asanas, the mind is restless. Inner happiness comes from inner peace. If the body is kept very quiet, you can get into deeper dimensions of meditation. In addition to periods of sitting in combination with movement, w orking with the thoughts is important in getting rid of inner conflict. A spirit ual person should develop his or her thoughts with love, wisdom, and self-discip line. Chakra, Kundalini Yogi Nils has extended this basic model of stress resolution to the way of the f ive activities: reading, walking (or doing Yoga asanas), meditating (lying or si tting), doing good for others (Karma Yoga), and to enjoy life. These five activi ties in constantly changing and always in the right time are an effective way of stress resolution. As meditation Nils practices the two-step Kundalini meditati on. In the first stage, he cleanses his energy channels through visualizations, mantras and breathing exercises and activates his kundalini energy. Then he stop s for a few minutes all thinking until his mind is completely at rest. Then he j ust stays at rest and let the thoughts and feelings come and go as they please. This is the stage of lingering in meditation (Vipassana, Zen, Mahamudra). All ne gative thoughts and feelings appear by itself. If one would suppress his thought s, there would be no deep-solving process. This many yogis do wrong and thus blo ck their enlightenment. At a certain point, physical rest can cause the energy of a person to go inward. The person no longer has to direct oneself towards outer activities, and puts m ore worth on the inner spiritual cleansing, the dissolving of inner conflict, an d the development of inner happiness.This turning point must be discovered by ea ch Yogi for him or herself. It is difficult to find and difficult to hold onto. Life energy tends towards an excess of activity or towards dullness. Both need t o be avoided with daily exercised self-discipline.Yogis know when they need whic h technique. When the body is dull and lacking energy, the Yogi goes for a walk. When he or she feels restless, he or she practices Yoga or meditates. When the spirit seems to rebel against the spiritual way, a book on spiritual topics help s to bring back the conviction towards enlightenment. A Yogi senses the inner co nflict and uses the proper techniques to dissolve the tension. That is usually w hat the body and soul wants the least at that moment. Wherever the neurotic tend ency to feel repelled towards something is usually the way to the light. On the other hand, we need sometimes to give the body and soul what they would like, ot herwise tension is built. The way to happiness requires a lot of wisdom and inne r sensitivity. The Ten Ethic Principles of Patanjali Patanjali is the father of Indian yoga. He lived in the second century BC. In th e Yoga Sutra, he grasped the essence of all yoga knowledge together in a few wor ds. The two main sets of Patanjali are, "Yoga is the calming of the mind. Then t he yogi lives in the light." To soothe the thoughts Patanjali recommends a two-s tep way. The first stage is the development of positive ethic qualities (the ten yoga principles). Without positive qualities in meditation inner peace will bre ak through the chaos of the outside world again and again. The second stage of t he yogic path is to practice meditation. In meditation we quiet our thoughts com pletely. We stay in inner peace. At some point we develop the ability to combine

meditation and outer action. Then we can always stay in peace and happiness, an d at the same time we can fulfill our external obligations. 1. Non-violence (ahimsa) = No killing other beings. Be meek. Be peaceful. 2. Truthfulness (Satya) = Live in the truth. Basically, be honest with yourself and others. Also no little lies of convenience. A lie is permissible only in wel l justified situations, for example, if you save with a lie the life of another human being. A Yogi is silent in doubt . Those who consistently lives in the tru th radiate truth. Their fellow men trust them. 3. Righteousness (Asteya) = Not stealing, not cheating. A Yogi is in professiona l life generally honest. He does not seek unwarranted advantage, but he is looki ng for fair trade. 4. Wisdom (Brahmacharia) = Live in the spiritual focus (in the light/in God = Br ahman). Do not serve the money (outer luck) but the inner happiness (God, Brahma n, enlightenment). Be centered in your inner happiness and peace. 5. Simplicity (Aparigraha) = Be moderate in external enjoyment and consumption. A spiritual person lives modestly outwardly and inwardly rich. A Yogi uses his e nergy not in outer actions, but lives so peaceful that it turns inward and clean se his body from the inside. One day, he lives permanently in the light (the cos mos energy). 6. Worship of the spiritual goal (Ishvara-Pranidhana) = Thus we do not lose our spiritual path, it is necessary that we remind ourselves again and again to our spiritual goal. We can worship an image (Goddess, Shiva, Patanjali), we can bow before a statue (Buddha, Jesus, Shiva) or speak a mantra (prayer). What is your spiritual goal? Send light to all beings, and wish a happy world. 7. Sacrifice the ego (Shaucha) = Purification / cleaning. The way into the light passes through the crucifixion of the ego. Without a crucifixion there is no en lightenment. True sacrifice is an art. He who sacrifices too much braced themsel ves internally. Who sacrifices too little, does not solves his tentions. How do you get inner peace today? "I let go of my false desires. I take things as they are. My sacrifice today is ... " 8. Selfdiscipline (Tapas) = A clear goal, a clear life plan and a clear way of p racticing. Tapas means to lead a disciplined life. Follow your inner wisdom and you'll win on your spiritual path. 9. Reading (Svadhyaya) = The daily reading (mantra, meditation, oracle) keeps us on the spiritual path, cleanses our spirit, connects us with the enlightened ma sters and makes us to spiritual victors. 10. Contentment (Santosha) = Satisfied with what one has. Which idea will help y ou to get into the satisfaction with yourself and your life? "My thought of sati sfaction is now ..." Positive psychology emphasizes positive values Sonja Lyubomirsky is one of America's happiness researchers. She is a professor and wrote the international bestseller The How of Happiness. She wondered what o ne can do if one wants to get a happy life. She accepted that, after the current state of research about 50% of a given human's happiness level is genetically d etermined. About 10% of happiness is affected by external living conditions, but 40% of happiness can be influenced by the mind of a person. According to Lyubomirsky, the secret of lasting happiness is to turn our attenti on mainly to that 40% and constantly maintain our inner happiness. We should exe rcise regularly, avoid negative thoughts and encourage positive thoughts, mainta in our social relationships and have a positive task in our lifes. Many studies demonstrate the positive effects of meditation on our happiness, "Meditate every day. Begin with five minutes and increase to up to 20 minutes a day." Sonja Lyubomirsky developed a twelve-point program for personal happiness. The m ain point for her is gratitude. We should focus on the positives in our lives an d be grateful. We should live according to principles such as optimism, joy, hel pfulness, forgiveness, good social relationships, good health care and a positiv e task if we want to achieve a happy and fulfilling life. Yoga with positive thinking

Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The goals of yoga are varied and range from improving health to achieving Moksh a (enlightenment). Yoga exercises are designed to resolve internal tensions (Sam skaras) and thus bring out inner happiness. The exercise improves health in the body and increases positiveness in the mind. Over the years the Yogi is in harmo ny with himself and the world, living in existence, peace and love. 1. Go or jog on the spot, with your arms moving by your side. Visualize light, t urn around and think, "I go the positive way." What is the positive way for you today? 2. Do the windmill. Straddle your legs apart, bow forward, turn like a windmill into the spinal column and think: "My goals are ..." What goals do you want to a chieve in your life? Count up three goals. 3. Do the frog. Bring your feet together. Bow your upper body forward. Push your self up with your hands on the floor and move your buttocks down in a crouch and back up in the air. The head goes up to the sky and down to the earth. Practice the frog several times and think: "I have strength and endurance." 4. Use your arms and legs. Lie down on your stomach. Raise your left arm and rig ht leg. Bring both back to the earth and lift the right arm and the left leg. Do this several times. Think, "I take things the way they are." What will you take today? 5. Involve your upper body. Lie in the prone position, with your hands on the fl oor and repeatedly press the upper body up and down. The head goes to the neck a nd forward. While breathing in and out, think, "I let go of my false desires." W hat do you want to let go of today? 6. Do a back turn. In the prone position, turn your pelvis to the right and then to the left. Your head must lie on your hands. Think, "I am sad because ..." Wh at grieves you today? 7. Get your feet moving in the prone position. The head lies relaxed on your han ds. Think, "I forgive... (my partner / parents / the cosmos / God), that he/she. .. I forgive me, that I ..." Whom do you want to forgive today? Think these word s until a feeling of sadness arises in you, of letting go and forgiveness. 8. Perform cycling. Turn on your back, lift your head and move your arms and leg s. Think, "My positive thought today is...." What makes your mind positive? Thin k of the beauty in life. What is good in your life? 9. Do the candle. Stretch your legs to the sky. Your hands support you at the ba ck. Visualize the sky, move your feet and think many times the mantra "Heaven", until you feel the energy. 10. Move into the meditation seat. Roll from the candle into your meditation sea t (cross-legged or heel seat). Put your hands in your lap. The back is straight and the stomach is relaxed. Move one hand and wrap them and think, "I send light to ... May all people be happy. May the world be happy." Stop all your thoughts for a minute. Relax. Go your way optimistically. Discussion (Jesus.de, 2011) Nils: I represent the position of the unity of all religions. I think that all r eligions basically aim at an experience of transcendence, which can be described by the term "enlightenment" or "holiness". I believe that all religions should work together positively, because they have in the center the same goal. German catholic: More and more Christians are discovering yoga and other Eastern meditation techniques. In the Catholic educational centers we offer a wide vari ety of yoga courses. In the practice Yoga is not contradictory to Christianity. Yoga is not only beneficial to the body and the mind, but also allows new approa ches to Christian spirituality. Evangelical Church in Germany: Radical rejection of yoga is just as wrong as an undifferentiated affirmation. Catholic parish of St. Michael in Stuttgart Sillenbuch: Yoga is an ancient syste m of physical and mental exercises. Yoga is one of the cultural heritage of huma nity regardless of culture. Yoga can tolerate very well with Christian meditatio n. Yoga exercises are offered in St Michael for more than 25 years. They are ver y successful.

Nils: In yoga, each can go his own way. Christians should keep their faith in Je sus. There are many different spiritual paths in Yoga and ideas of God. Hindu: Jesus is transcendent, it is not necessary for him to be physically prese nt. A true spiritual master must not be physically present. Sometimes I need ene rgy in the form of a physically present master. Nils: I see things like you. I work with the transcendent masters and the master s on earth. In my experience, both is helpful and even necessary for me. If ther e are in the afterlife enlightened masters like Buddha, Jesus and Swami Sivanand a (my yoga master), then it is wise to beg them for help. A master who is presen t on earth can write books, give lectures, initiations (energy transfers) and pe rsonal advice. I find it very inspiring to see videos and to visit satsangs. My yoga teacher training with an enlightened Master has opened many energy doors (c hacras). When I met Brother Roger (Christian enlightened, Taize) in Hamburg, I c ame into a dimension of light. Ralf: An impersonal God is for me not enough. My whole belief system would break down and my life would be meaningless. Nils: The great conflict between religions and within religions is, if there are higher beings or one being, you can call (pray) and wether you then gets help. There are in Yoga and in Buddhism the prayer group and the people, who do not pr ay. Amma has said that there are higher beings in the cosmos, that you can ask f or help. You can call them in your own term as God, Allah, Buddha, Jesus or Shiv a. Each person must decide whether he wants to pray or not. In Yoga, the prayer is optional. Ralf: For me it is not a goal to resolve my ego. Nils: God on a deep level you can only experience when you move beyond any belie f system and when your sense of self (ego) releases. But who gives up his ego to o early, can fail on the spiritual path. Therefore, there is the two-step pathwa y. First, you practice with a belief system and concrete meditations (with posit ive images and phrases). Then you just linger in the silence. With the grace of God you passes through the silence into the light of God. Teresa of Avila has fi rst focused herself on the word "God" and prayed the Our Father. Then the happin ess energy (Kundalini, Holy Spirit) woke in her, her thoughts came to rest and s he came into the experience of God. Everyone should feel, whether concrete or ab stract meditations are helpful. Question: Is yoga a path of self-redemption? Nils: In Christianity, there is much confusion about the path of enlightenment. A major criticism is in the fact that the New Agers want to redeem themselves an d the Christians redeemed by the grace of God. Also between Catholics and Luther ans, it is controversial in how far a Christian should spiritually practice, or whether everything is done solely by grace. In yoga we focus on the spiritual pr actice. On the other hand, you can not force enlightenment. It comes ultimately from its own, spontaneously, as a grace. Caro: The majority here in the forum beliefs that Jesus is the only person who l ives in God in its fullness. Nils: There are many different views among Christians. That's all right. We shou ld openly discuss and find a good way of constructive cooperation. Of course, I can accept that Jesus is most important to you. I believe that we can find a way of understanding. For me, God is a higher dimension of consciousness in the cos mos, which can be expressed in many religions terms. Every enlightened is a son or daughter of God, because he or she embodies the consciousness of God. Jesus e mbodies for me the way of universal love. Jesus has many children. And that's ju st fine if they live together constructively. May the love of God be with you fo rever. See also Search for Religious pluralism onWikipedia. Search for Ecumenism onWikipedia.

Paradise by Lucas Cranach. A representation of peace and love between all creatu res. Tolerance between religions and all people is requirement to create a world of p eace, love and happiness. Inter-religious dialog is important to achieve a bette r world. Even theists and atheists should find a way of understanding. This is p ossible on the basis of scientific clarification of the question of God. In history we often find that war and hate is rooted in religions disputes. Our future can only exist by promoting the goal of peaceful cooperation. Killing eac h other has to be repudiated and for this strengthening the peaceful tendencies of religions will be a factor. Toleration of thoughts from other people is part of the essence of true democrac y. Only if freedom of expression exists, it is then possible to discuss the best way for all. True democracy is, so far, the best way of living in a society wit hout war and killing each other. The first goal of toleration is to avoid hate in a society. The second goal is p romoting constructive discussion, especially between divergent views, like relig ions. The third goal is that all work together for a world of love, peace and ha ppiness. To create a global dialog of faiths is the goal of the Parliament of the World's Religions. Jesus as the One Way? Christian: Jesus Christ said: "I am the way and the truth and life, no one comes to the Lord without me." Yogi: This sentence has been misunderstood by many Christians. Jesus didnt say th at he was the only enlightened and the only way to God. If that were so, he woul d have denunciated spiritual masters such as Abraham, Moses, John the Baptists a s false prophets. Jesus didnt seek to start his own religion. He explained clearl y I did not come here to dissolve the teachings of Moses or other prophets, I am here to fulfill their teachings. Jesus saw himself as a person who had realized the laws and testaments of the Bi ble in his life. He wanted to take the Jewish people back to the original point of the Bible. He wanted them to practice spirituality. Many Jews had interpreted the teachings at the time in a dogmatic way and were missing the true point of these teachings.Without an enlightened teacher, every religion can become dogmat ic. The task of the enlightened is to bring humans back to effective spiritual e xercise. The words I am the way should be understood in this light. Every enlighte ned is a way to God. When we understand the words in that sense, then we can ref er to the necessity of enlightened masters to effectively practice spirituality. The Desert Fathers (St. Anthony) had this principle and were therefore successf ul on their spiritual path. Later the Christian church has abandoned this princi ple incorrectly. One can also understand this sentence, that one has to develop the qualities of an enlightened (Jesus, Buddha) to attain enlightenment. Persona lly, I can accept that every religion thinks its founder is the only true enligh tened one. Scientifically and with respect to tolerance and religious freedom, w e should honor all positive religions as paths to God. Those who consider their religion as the one true religion, only serve to streng then violence on earth. When we fail to stop this, there will always be faith dr iven wars. When a group of believers think they are the only ones who are right,

they need to then slay their foes, those who believe otherwise in a physical or spiritual way. A too rigid interpretation of the sentence I am the way is incorre ct. Every enlightened is a son or daughter of God. He or she embodies God consci ousness. The Christians need to let go of the idea that Jesus was the only enlig htened master. This idea is understandable from a psychological standpoint, but fully unacceptable in scientific terms. God is Love Anna Franziska: I am a Christian, but I respect Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and ot her religions. Nils: Thanks. We should all respect one another. Atheist: You have your interpretation of the Bible, but I could imagine another just as well. Nils: Jesus gave humanity a new idea of God. God is a God of love according to J esus. Most Christians believe in a God of love. We should defend ourselves again st confused fanatics. They have the wrong idea about religion. Agnostic: You mean God has something to do with love, but you cannot prove it. Nils: I can prove that. God is a term from the experiences of the enlightenment. When you live in God, you experience love. You live in the energy of peace, lov e, and happiness. God has everything to do with love. Esther: Gods most important concern is love. And so we know and rely on the love G od has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.( John 4,16) Nils: Thank you. That is exactly the way it is. God and enlightenment (holiness) are two sides of the same coin and the middle is love. Agnostic: The Bible is a collection of myths. Nils: Thats right. Thats how I see it as well. The old Testament is mostly a colle ction of myths. The myths serve as a description of the way to enlightenment. Th e new Testament, which is what Christianity is based on, is however not a collec tion of myths. The mountain sermon is the most important part of the new testame nt and is a direct indication of the way to go about the spiritual path. The sta tements made there fit according to the knowledge of many of todays enlightened. ---> "Mother Teresa: The fruit of calm is prayer. The fruit of prayer is belief. The fruit of belief is love. The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace." In meditation, conflict and tension dissipate. When all conflict recedes, inner happiness remains. The human lives in God. He or she experiences God and believe s in God. With God, love and goodness awaken. He or she would then like to help his suffering fellow beings. He or she remains in God when he lives from that po int of inner calm, and for the good of all beings. Stop religious fights, get peace, love and happiness. It is possible!! Klaus: If there is God, there is also truth. I am searching for this truth becau se its important for me to understand the similarities and differences among the religions, and as such it is also important to take those differences seriously. Nils: There is only one truth. There is only one God. But this God is not compr ehensible for unenlightened people. God can be described with words like love, p eace, truth, happiness, and light, but those are words which cannot replace the experience of God. The main way to reach this experience of God is to do the cor responding exercises and activities of ones respective religion consistently and with wisdom (with real feeling and emotions). Everyone must find the way which i s correct for him or her in order to proceed spiritually. Klaus: Of course differnt religions can meditate together, but that doesnt get ri d of the differences, meditating together doesnt lead to the transcendental exper ience which brings everyone to the same God. Nils: If we really comprehend what God is, then every religion will come to the same God. Every religion can practice its own rituals, but we should also find w ays to practice spiritually together. Meditation is a good way toward this goal, as well as praying, singing, and celebrating together. When meditating, everyon e may use their own understanding of God, their own term for God. When we deeply experience our understanding of God, every term or word for God will lead to in ner peace and all-encompassing love. I wish for a world of love and peace, and n

ot a world of so-called holy war, or wars over religion. I wish for the various religions to stop fighting one another but that they love and support each other . Mountain of Religions There were five people who sought God. One was an atheist, an other a Christian, the third a yogi, the fourth a Muslim, and the fifth a Buddhist. One day the fi ve seekers came to a large mountain. Up on the mountain shone a bright light. Th e atheist said: "This is the sun." The Christian said: "This is God." The Muslim s gave it the name of Allah. The Buddhist thought it was the Nirvana (emptiness / unity / bliss). The Yogi called it Brahman (the higher reality). The five-seek ers debated long about the light, the happiness and God. The atheist insisted th at there is no God. The Buddhists did not believe in a personal God. Which the M uslim and the Christian contradicted violently. The Yogi surprised his friends b y stating: "This question cannot be clarified by an unenlightened man. We all mu st get enlightenment, then we will understand what God is." The five seekers had a long talk about God. They learned about their respective viewpoints. The talk was a great enrichment for all. But they could not come to a final result. They therefore decided to climb the mountain and to investigate the light exactly.There were many paths leading up the mountain. Everyone rose u p on his own path. When everyone had arrived at the summit, they decided to enter into the great my stery. They took each other by the hand and went into the great light. They pass ed through a great darkness (the ego resolution) and found themselves in God (tr anscendence). They stayed some time in God and then went back into the world of matter (the duality of things) . In God all had been speechless. But now her min d began to work. Excited, they told each other about their experiences. The Yogi felt God as happiness (peace-unity consciousness-bliss), the Christian as universal love, the Buddhist as inner peace (no attachments), the Muslim as a great power and the atheist experience God as a higher truth. The Muslims got t he word "Allah", the Christian the word "God", the Buddhist the word "Enlightenm ent" (my Buddha nature), the Yogi "Sat-Chit-Ananda" (I am this) and the atheist "Cosmos" (unity consciousness). If they thought their particular word, they coul d immediately go back into the light. The word was their personal key to entry i nto the great mystery. Anyone who has met God, can come with the power of the me mory and his personal mantra again into the state of enlightenment. Each of the seekers kept his word as the greatest. They were arguing about their prayers and could not agree on a verbal level. So they decided to end their con flict and prefer to concentrate on the spiritual practice. They lived many years together on the mountaintop. They read in their scriptures, meditated a lot, pi lgrimaged every day to the mountain summit and met once a week to a joint celebr ation. Some day all arrived the permanent light. And the great light transformed them. They saw the light in all beings and all things of the world. They realiz ed that they are all brothers and sisters. May we stop all religious wars in the world. May we be build a golden age of love, peace and happiness on earth. May the light, the love and the truth always be with us.

Ariane Sherine and Richard Dawkins at the Atheist Bus Campaign launch An atheist discussion took place in June 2009 in Germany with the thesis, there i s with certainty no God. The Crazy Yogi Yogi Nils, 2012 Dear friends, here is Yogi Nils. I am known as the crazy Yogi. I have a middle sta nding between atheists and Christians. I see myself as a friend of both. There i s God and God can be scientifically proven to exist. The big discussion regardin g the scientific proof of God has taking place already in the ecological forum U topia. There isnt an atheist on earth who can win the argument against the existe nce of God. From my point of view, Christians and atheists both are correct, and incorrect, in part. God is a term of speech from the world of experience of the enlightened (holy beings, developed philosophers), which an unenlightened individual cannot really conceive of. It can be compared to the situation where someone talks abo ut love who has never really been in love or loved. So dont fight too much. To talk about God a bit, can be helpful in finding onesel f. But to really know and understand God, can only be achieved after years of sp iritual practice. The enlightened generally have a good sense of humor, it is go od to be able to laugh at oneself. I love it when people laugh about how crazy I am. I work in a world of egoism and self-addiction toward the goal of a harmoni ous life on earth for all beings. I wish love, peace, and wisdom where war, hate , and senselessness reign. I am totally crazy. Sven and Nils Quote from Sven: Hello Nils, I am a neurobiologist and I work as a brain researc her in Bonn. Nils: Hello, Sven, I am the little, unimportant Yogi Nils. Sven: As no one in this forum can prove my point incorrect, I see that as indica tion for the instability of the argument in favor of the ability to prove the ex istence of God in a scientific manner. Nils: I propose renaming God Sven. Sven is so clever, that he already knows that no one can prove him wrong. The proof is so strong that Sven is God. Sven is al l-knowing and all-powerful. Sven: The harrowing topic is at hand, that the point of life is not very deep or complex. Why do we exist? Because our cells have formed themselves into a funct ioning system which can reproduce. What do we learn from this? Live your life, h ave children, plant a tree, and dream with the media about forming settlements o n other planets. Nils: Dear Sven, dream on. When you are shallow, you dont need to worry about oth er humans. I dont dream of settling outer space, rather of a world full of happin ess. I dream of a world of fairness, where resources are divided fairly so that people have enough to eat, can live happily together and live in a healthy envir onment. Sven: I assume love is a relatively primitive emotion which earlier forms of lif e have developed. There is no reason to believe that love is anything but a bodi ly phenomenon. We are driven by this strong physical reaction to be unable to fo rm objective opinions on the topic. Nils: Dear Sven, it is a shame if love is merely a physical experience for you. When your judgement is clouded by physical occurrences, that is a shame for you, but it is not the case for all beings. Love is not just sex! Humans who are mor e developed, and not stuck in an earlier way of living, can feel love as coming from the heart. Love is spiritual. Sven: It is clear that religion is important for the structuring of social situa tions among humans.

Nils: Religion can be misused through the malevolent goal to gain control over o ther people. Real religion leads to enlightenment. This is the center of spiritu ality. The abuse of religion and the manipulation of others through religion is NOT the center of spirituality. We should all consciously avoid the abuse of rel igion. This is where I find connections with atheists, humanistically engaged sc ientists, and spiritual individuals very important for this reason. Sven: It is often stated that God gives emotions to people, which manifest thems elves in the brains of the believers. To the contrary, emotions come from the ne urons in the brains of humans. Nils: Dear Sven, I am an undogmatic Yogi and not a fundamentalist. I can prove y our irrefutable statements wrong. Humans consist of material brain and soul (or consciousness energy). Material can influence emotions through nerve cells, but the soul can also influence thoughts and feelings. In the astral word, it is pos sible to think and feel without a material body. Spiritual experiences can be summoned with the use of drugs. This is often pract iced in Indian Yoga. I dont use drugs because a considerable negative impact on h ealth is also associated with drugs, and it is impossible to reach lasting enlig htenment this way. Enlightenment experiences such as inner bliss, ecstasy, trance techniques can al so be found using such methods as drumming, music, mantras, through sex (Tantric Yoga), dancing, and so on. In Yoga, the body is used as an instrument to reach higher planes of consciousness. Enlightenment can also be found using material p rocesses on the brain. The way to enlightenment using meditation and thought wor k is the best in the long run. Sven: Spirituality and closeness to God occur as a result of excessive emotional pro cesses in the brain. This can be connected with trance states that occur when la rge groups of people gather (such as a group prayer at the Vatican), or visits t o night clubs (dancing) or when experiencing an orgasm. Nils: Its not as simple as you think. Humans are not machines. People consist of material bodies and souls. Brain research has not taken into consideration the f indings of quantum physics, near death research, parapsychology, or the experien ces of the enlightened themselves. Brain research has not solved the riddle of c onsciousness. The reality of a material brain does not address the existence of further dimens ions. This does not take into consideration whether a higher consciousness (a so ul or quantum field) exists. The findings of near death research, parapsychology , quantum physics and reincarnation research come closer to solving this puzzle, not to mention the statements made by the enlightened themselves. Brain research concerns the material mind. It can therefore only make educated s tatements on the material brain. Statements about God and enlightenment from a n eurobiologist are shaky, especially when said neurobiologist knows little to not hing about enlightenment and higher consciousness. Sven: Religion and science are definitely not compatible with one another. Nils: Separating religion and science from one another is a very dangerous road to take. There are plenty of flaws in spirituality which can only be discovered through scientific speculation and study. Furthermore, there are many scientists who are very helpful in enriching our knowledge base concerning spirituality. O n this note, I could refer to the research efforts of parapsychologists. With su ch research we can reveal phony clairvoyants, for example, as the swindlers they are. Psychology, philosophy, and theology are also schools of science. Would you seek to ban all forms of spiritual science from the universities? For you, only natu ral science appears to be science. It seems in your world, you are the only scie ntist who exists. Sven: I can assure you that in serious brain research enlightened individuals with extraordinary abilities are not subjects of research. Nils: And then the serious researchers declare their positions regarding God. Th ey dont bother to look into the topic of enlightenment, and then persist that the re is no such thing as God. That seems to be not all too serious to me. Good tha t you can assure me you have not the faintest idea about enlightenment.

Sven: Nils, you claim energy is multi-dimensional. Do you have references for th at? Do you have direct proof that God exists? Nils: Sven, as a serious brain researcher, you refuse to bother with enlightenment . The ability to sense energy is an ability of the enlightened. This ability oft en appears quite early along the spiritual path. Perhaps youve heard of the conce pt of the aura or have seen pictures of the saints in Christianity, or the holy in Buddhism or Hinduism. They are often depicted with an aura above the head and around the body in paintings. The aura is an energy field around the enlightened. The energy field (or conscio usness field) is multi-dimensional. It consists of multiple levels. An enlighten ed individual can deal and affect change on various levels (thoughts and feeling s can be sensed and sent to others). I stress the point that the concept of God is a term from the world of the enlig htened. An enlightened being experiences God as energy, as light and happiness, all around. As long as brain research in Germany excludes enlightenment from the ir subjects of research, they cannot make serious statements regarding the exist ence or non-existence of God. It would be necessary for a researcher to come to enlightenment himself if he wishes to understand God. Klaus the Physicist Atheism bus, Germany Klaus: I consider Yogi Nils to be a nice guy with good intentions. Nils: Thanks. I believe you are also an honest person. Klaus: I also believe that it is possible for people to reach a real state of ha ppiness. Nils: Wonderful. You have a bit of enlightenment already. Now, you only need to confirm that happiness is an important goal in life for most people and that it would be good to work towards a happy world. Then we could really be friends. Klaus: My argument is that you deliver the classic circular argument: there is e nlightenment because enlightened report that it exists. It is only to be experie nced by the enlightened. Nils: Enlightenment was measured and studied by US brain researchers, as I have already written. In addition, there are many witnesses for enlightenment. Witnes s statements are valid forms of proof for the reality of enlightenment. Therefor e, I dont express myself in the form of circular reasoning, you turn yourself in spiritual circles. To be enlightened is to experience the proof of its existence . It concerns finding out exactly what enlightenment is. This is what science sh ould research in order to clarify remaining questions about the reality of God. Klaus: Regarding the higher dimensions: in principle, there are four proven dime nsions. Three consist of space, one is time. Every postulated dimension correlat es to a mathematical construction which gives us known concepts we can work with . There is no possibility to prove the existence of a fifth, sixth, or further d imensions. Nils: I have already said that. It is a theory. Anyway. It is very nice to see t he way modern physics have developed. Klaus: The only known physicist who conducted a meanignful experiment in the 80s was Alain Aspect. The publication of his results emerged in 1982. He performed an experiment that showed that the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen effect could be real. Einstein had such problems with quantum mechanics and basically reduced it to a bsurdity. He needed one of his famous thought experiments, in which he had to ex change information between limited quantum objects and theories relating to achi eving velocity over the speed of light. This was difficult to achieve. The exper iment from Aspect showed that this was however the case. I still must ask, what does Aspect have to do with cosmic consciousness? The experiment of Aspect says nothing about higher dimensions. Nils: Many physicists see that considerably different. I have already quoted the former head of the Max-Plank-Institute Prof. Drr. I could also add Walter of Luc adou (ARD), Amit Goswami, Volker Becker and many others. My assumption is that t here is a connection between higher fields of information (quantum fields, a hig

her dimension) and enlightenment consciousness. It should be researched further if we want to answer questions relating to God and consciousness. Klaus: Your argument is that God can only be discussed by those who have persona lly experienced him. You can believe and assume, Yogi, but you cannot prove. Nils: You should first read my text thoroughly. God is a concept of experience of the enlightened. That can be proven with the holy books of the major religions a nd the statements of the enlightened. Klaus: I can also make the claim that experiences of God are hallucinations that come as a result of our own complex bodily chemistry, such as from drugs, sex, or trance. What is your response to that? Nils: Weve already discussed that. Enlightenment can be created through drugs, se x, or trance techniques. It is also practiced quite often in Indian yoga. What can I say to that? Humans consist of material bodies and brains as well as souls (consciousness energy). Both can exist independently of one another, accor ding to near-death research and the experiences of the enlightened. Enlightenmen t is therefore capable of being created via the world of material. But it can al so be achieved with consciousness work (thought control and meditation). It can also come from a higher plane of consciousness, such as from God or gurus. In the end, there is a higher field of consciousness that I would call spiritual energy. It is depicted in paintings as an aura around the head and body. Scient ific research has only begun to consider this. I recommend further research. Tod ays science should take on the topic of enlightenment if it wants to clear up the question regarding Gods existence. Klaus: I cant comment on the topic of near-death experiences as I dont have the ba ckground there. I certainly wish there was something there. Nils: You should definitely get acquainted with near-death research. It possesse s the best chances for understanding the phenomenon of a consciousness independe nt of the physical body. Brain Research (Translated from the German Wikipedia article on near-death experiences): The ca se of Pam Reynolds is well-known from television documentaries. While Reynolds w as a patient undergoing brain operation, various instruments were used to measur e her brain activity while she was under the influence of anesthetics, and other brain activity slowing and numbing substances and techniques. The eyes of the p atient were shut, and the ears blocked. Reynolds reported afterwards to have obs erved the operation while floating above her body and the scene of operation bel ow. She gave details as to the discussion that went on, and could carefully desc ribe the instruments and their application.) Sven: Brain wave measurement is a complex and difficult undertaking. There are w eak electromagnetic signals which need to be measured through thick, bone, ligam ent, hair, and cartilage. That researchers werent able to measure anything in thi s case is no surprise. Nils: Your argument is incorrect. The near death researchers are not stupid. The y researched thoroughly and came to the conclusion that no brain waves came thro ugh. With that statement, I refer to the researchers, such as Pim van Lommel fro m Holland and Sam Parnia of the University of South Hampton. Sven: The brain cannot be emptied entirely. This would cause permanent and irrev ersible damage and could cause the patient to be mentally handicapped, and defin itely not in the position to talk about God. At any rate, it is not noteworthy t hat patients under the influence of anesthetics can follow discussions during th eir operations. Even with blocked ears, patients can hear via the vibrations of the skull cap. Nils: Your argument is not convincing. I do not believe that one can hear all of the details of a discussion with a skull cap and to see the details of an opera tion with eyes closed, particularly as a good supply of blood has been cut off f rom the brain. I will admit that there was still blood present in the brain, as you stated. I h ave already explained that her brain was not entirely dead during the operation. I have established that with ears blocked, it would be very difficult to follow a discussion only through the vibrations of a skull cap. Perhaps you have a very

special skull cap. I would gladly have this, then I wouldnt need ears anymore. T his would be a very important medical development for those hard of hearing. Whe re can I find such a skull cap? Or do you only get one when you become a brain r esearcher? Even more amazing is that you can see with eyes shut. You are probably God, as I have already concluded. You must have a super brain. Karl Quark: I am not a biologist, but I know that the brain cannot be shut off. The body can only be slowed and cooled to the point where circulation is slowed considerably, but it is still intact. The oxygen present is not sufficient for n ormal purposes. The same goes for the deceased. Even when the blood stops pumpin g, the circulation continues for a time so long as oxygen remains in the blood. Nils: The oxygen theory is scientifically refuted. The theory regarding hormone secretion has also been refuted. It has been established that brain waves did no t flow. The ears were plugged and the eyes shut. How should a person observe thi ngs in a room when the brain, the ears, and the eyes have all been shut down? The only explanation for this is the separation of the consciousness from the bo dy. The soul observed the operation from above. Even you as a non-biologist shou ld know that a person cannot easily observe an operation to the brain and then r eport its details. Perhaps there is something to the theory of the duality of th e body and the consciousness. Im just throwing that out there. Hipsitipsu: You are nothing but a forum troll! Your Wikipedia article only conta ins a selected quote, in order to produce the wrong impression. Anyone who can r ead can see that it says, this is however not proof of the complete absence of c onsciousness. The neurologist Martin Klein: the EEG only measures the brain acti vity of the cerebral cortex, and only part of it. That means impressions could st ill come to the patient in such a state. Nils: I already wrote about that. To remind you, I said that blood was still in the brain. I admitted that readily. I have already explained the brain was not d ead during operation. We have to take things carefully into consideration. Final ly, I recommend that every reader of this forum read the entire discussion on Wi kipedia. Ill stress it again: these things are not completely clear. It should be research ed further and further discussed. At the moment, however, the results of the nea r death research point in the direction of the reality of the independence of th e consciousness and the body. There are thousands of other cases as a result of research performed on this top ic. I already posted the gist of these findings at the beginning. If youd like to have a look at the exact details, you should look into the vast wealth of resea rch on the topic. Ive already done just that, and summarized my results and poste d them here. Evoluzzer: I trust experts more than I trust yogis or gurus. For such extraordin ary allegations, I require an extraordinarily convincing collection of proof fro m a serious site. Nils: The experts say that there is no natural explanation. If you observe their discussions on near death experiences, there is a lot of room to infer the trut h to the reality of a separation of brain and soul. This is also heavily discuss ed in science. There are various viewpoints. Thats good, that is the way progress is made. It is a popular trick from materialistic scientists to set the standards for pro of so high that no one can ever reach them. Its important to approach these thing s without preconceptions, and to weigh the arguments wisely. I maintain there ar e many indications that higher dimensions of consciousness exist. Julia and Nils Buscampaign in Germany, discussion. Julia: It would be nice if you would answer more than once a day and at the same time put all the arguments in their place, in your special way. Nils: Julia, I like you. You have a sense of humor. Be happy that I can make you a little happy everyday. Even a Yogi has other things to do besides sitting in

front of the computer. He needs to do Yoga and send atheists light. Today I am s ending you lots of love. Feel the warmth in your heart. Open your heart. Peter007: Hello Julia, have you heard this before? Little Julia goes to church o n Easter and her father asks her afterwards what she liked the best and she answ ers: that everyone sang hello Julia! Julia: In my opinion, a fully-developed theory on the part of an enlightened ind ividual should be able to hold its ground without changing its basis. Nils: Well said. Great that you find my theory well-developed. I would like to s tate, however, that I am not enlightened. I am just an unimportant Yogi. I dont b elieve I am changing my theory when I formulate my thesis more gently, though. Julia: If I may put your thesis into context: God is a concept that is not to be fully grasped, as I am not enlightened, which displays its essence in the form of strong feelings. These feelings can be measured and even proven by science an d proof of God can only come to the individuals own brain, at some point in time. Nils: Dear Julia, thats right. Enlightenment can be measured and has been measure d (for example, in the case of Matthieu Ricard, who was tested by US brain resea rchers). There is already proof of this. On television, we can even observe how happily the neurologists went about their work, smiling while dealing with the e nlightened. The only problem is proving whether God exists outside of the experi ences and lives of the enlightened. The strong feelings possessed by the enlightened are happiness, inner peace, and empathy. The feeling of empathy on the part of Ricard was much greater than tha t of the also-examined non-enlightened. Julia: We can assume that someday the brain will be totally understood by scienc e. Nils: That I dont believe. The cosmos are not to be completely understood by huma ns. We are a piece of a system (cosmos, God) and can only glimpse a small piece of this system. Science is an eternal process. Julia: Is God to be understood as an established part of our material world, who lives only in the brains of the enlightened? Nils: God is an established component of our world. According to the findings of quantum physics, there is a higher dimension of consciousness (a higher informa tion field) that permeates the entire world. The enlightened see this higher dim ension of consciousness as light. They see this light as happiness energy (peace , love, light, truth). They see light in the world around them and in all people . God is in all beings, even if these beings do not realize it. Julia: I find the argument that God can be proven via the brain a shaky one. Nils: Proving God using brain research is just one way. Brain research can prove that there are enlightened individuals and that there are people with special a bilities. The supernatural abilities of the enlightened have hardly been researc hed. Some references are given in parapsychology, also when many materialistic s cientists refer to this science as invalid. There are black sheep everywhere, bu t to condemn an entire branch of science is unbelievably arrogant. Another way to prove God is via physics, even if Klaus says otherwise. Some othe r physicists interpret quantum physics more progressively than he does. There ar e even physicists who concern themselves solely on the question as to what exist ed before the big bang. For this reason, the topic often touches on spiritual th emes. The main form of scientific proof being dealt with presently is in the field of near death research. An important reference on life after death was given by the sixteenth Karmapa. Many statements from enlightened masters and clairvoyants re fer to the existence of the soul after death. Thanks, Wikipedia Someone: Not only atheists see that differently, but all serious scientists. Nils: In Science, these things are often debated. There are materialistic and mo re holistic-thinking scientists. Who is serious? It is a popular trick to consid er those who have a conflicting point of view to ones own as not serious. First, th ere are some trailblazers, then a hundred years later that point of view is the mainstream. Peter007: Nils, I am amazed at the patience you have to try and get people to un

derstand your ideas regarding the notion that there are other dimensions. Nils: I believe that the discussion between atheists and spiritual people has pu rpose. The most important part is that this is taken seriously. We live in aggre ssive times. Therefore, aggression and offense in a discussion are normal and sh ould be taken in stride. Humor makes the debate interesting. We should, however, be careful that the emotions dont get too strong. I write for the silent majority who read this forum. Most of the active discussi on participants have their opinions and stick to them. I mainly write for those reading. I wish that the world was a happy place and that all people could be ha ppy. Spiritual knowledge is necessary. Karl Quark: Perhaps you could give us a link. Nils: On the topic of enlightenment, Wikipedia is quite good. The experiment per formed on Pam Reynolds can be found under near death experiences in Wikipedia. T he duality of brain and soul is described quite well there. Sven: I would not like to say that the scientists you have mentioned are incompe tent or esoterics or pseudo-scientists, but there are reasons why their work isnt recognized among mainstream science. Nils: The majority of scientists think bound to materialism. They are stuck in a n old way of thinking and are blocking new developments. Despite this, there are many scientists who do argue in a way similar to my own. It is often the case t hat there are first a few trailblazers, and then this line of thinking becomes m ainstream a few years later. Finally, I am only interested in arguments. When we can respect both sides, then we can get along. Being called an esoteric is not an insult for me. In esoterism there are many pe ople who seriously and honestly try to find their way in life. We live in a mult i-faceted culture, and that should be accepted. Julia: As far as I understand, science regards the topic of near death experienc es as a possibility. That means scientific findings cannot prove this phenomena wrong, but they cannot prove it either. It is a topic not completely understood. Nils: Simply read the Spritualwiki under near death research and Wikipedia for t ext on near death experiences and enlightenment. Then perhaps your opinion will be more concrete. There is a considerable amount of indication for the theory of duality from brain and soul, and the existence of another dimension. At any rate, Wikipedia and SpiritualWiki are on my side when it comes to the top ics of near death research, near death experiences and enlightenment. Seven Arguments Happy Darwin Day! Wolfgang: "How can you justify your presumption that God exists?" Nils: "I have seven arguments: The statements of the enlightened. They see God as light in the world in the for m of love, peace, and happiness. God is a term for the perception of the enlight ened. Every real religion establishes itself around an enlightened master. Every real religion has a word for God, (Tao, Nirvana, Brahman, Allah, Yahwe). The near death research refers to the independence of the soul from the body and the continued existence of the soul after death. Wikipedia supports my view on these things. At the same time, Wikipedia also brings up the arguments of the op position. Everyone can read the discussion there. The most important witness is Pam Reynolds. She has seen the light of God in the afterlife, and learned that t here is a paradise area. She has also demonstrated that her otherworldly experie nce was real. She heard the doctors during her out-of-body experience and could reproduce exactly the conversation later on. The gauges showed during her out-of -body experience that her brain could not think. There were no brain waves. And yet she has heard the conversation. Pam Reynolds could have heard the conversati on of the doctors only with her soul. Her ears were stoppered while the operatio n. Reincarnation research has referred to many cases of rebirth. Buddha knew his ea rlier lives. A good overview on reincarnations research can be found on Wikipedi a. The most important and well researched case is Shanti Devi.

Physics refers to the existence of a higher cosmic information field (Amit Goswa mi, God as higher consciousness). The string theory supports this point of view. Parapsychology researches spiritual abilities such as thought transfer, the abil ity to see into the future, and to perceive and sense over large distances. This field has collected many cases of aforementioned topics. Scientific happiness research has proven the context between enlightenment, peac e, happiness, and love. They have recognized the principles which lead to a happ y life. They have researched Matthieu Ricard as an enlightened person. I live as a Yogi. I have been in various states of enlightenment. I have seen Go d as light in the world, and as happiness, love, peace, and truth in myself. I m aintain that enlightenment and God exist. I maintain that it is better and happi er to be enlightened than unenlightened. I maintain that it is good to live in G od." God and Enlightenment God is drawn as an enlightened Fridolin: The discussion here has brought me further. Nils: I also think that a lot of good arguments have taken place here, except fo r the more aggressive ones. Fridolin: Even in Germany, Evangelical churches with rather radical perspectives have been popping up. Encouraging more moderate churches doesnt seem like the wo rst idea to me. Nils: I agree. We need to strengthen the moderate position if we would like to h ave peace in the world. Karl Quark: You see God as love and through your feelings of love, you live in G od? How should I interpret that? We live in a material universe. We are nothing more than material. Nils: That is difficult for a materialist to understand. Love can be developed w ith spiritual techniques. God is then experienced as limitless love and peace. Karl Quark: For you, experiences of love are unexplainable and godly? Nils: That can only be understood by those who have experienced it. The causal e xplanation is God, because cosmic consciousness opens the door to love, peace, a nd happiness. In Yoga, that is called Sat-Chid-Ananda. First, limitless existenc e (inner peace), then a cosmic consciousness (the experience of the unity of nat ure) , and then suddenly happiness occurs. If this is exercised systematically, one finds enlightenment. Karl Quark: The term God leads to the experience of contentment? Nils: The cosmos is a system of happiness. It serves to bring souls to enlighten ment. That can only be seen when we assume that the soul exists after death. The evolution principle exists on this higher plane as well. Everything develops to a higher and higher enlightenment consciousness (the life in God, in paradise). Humans then go to God. Karl Quark: Why cannot God be comprehended rationally? Nils: God cannot be comprehended rationally because God is a higher form of cons ciousness. If you consider God as a quantum field (or a higher cosmic field of i nformation), as Professor Drr understands God, then God can permeate every aspect of the material world. Then you stumble upon God in through physics, but to rea lly comprehend God, you need to be enlightened. Karl Quark: Enlightenment means inner peace, inner happiness, and all-encompassi ng love, according to you. Good, then I cannot find fault with enlightenment. Nils: Wonderful. Then we can come to terms on that. Klaus: Do you believe that God only allows himself to be found where rational un derstanding ends? Nils: Yes. God can only be found through enlightenment. Life in God can be found through spiritual practice. The knowledge of God transcends all rational unders tanding. According to Buddha, enlightenment is best described as the way there, rather than the goal itself. The way there is very simple. Set yourself somewhere for twelve years ( the amou nt of time most often given in Yoga texts) in an isolated place, stop your thoug

hts, meditate, and the light in you will awaken. You will see and understand wha t God is. It is good to have an enlightened master as a role model along the way to God, s uch as Jesus or Buddha. A Darshan can (but doesnt have to) open the gate to spiri tual energy (love, light, peace, and happiness) in you. It is helpful to be peac eful, honest, and to have all-encompassing love for all things. But be careful: enlightenment is not a game. The path should be tread carefully. It could happen that you open a door and need twenty years before you can integ rate the newfound energy into your life. It can be quite intense to go through t he purification process that ensues after such an energy gate is opened. Klaus: I want DETAILS. Where and how can scientists find God? Nils: Ive already explained enlightenment in detail, as you can read in many spir itual books. It isnt easy to give a physicist the convincing details he or she wa nts. Look at it this way: I give you what I know and you give what you know, and together we can try to find the way of truth. Practice and Grace Todoroff: We are saved through grace. Grace cannot be worked on. Nils: Enlightenment occurs through spiritual practice and grace. To reduce enlig htenment to grace is a big mistake. It encourages spiritual laziness. Martin Lut hers biggest mistake was the teaching of grace. This should be reversed by the Pr otestant church, the Catholic church has a better position on this matter. They know that one has to practice intensively if he or she wishes to go far in the a fterlife. They didnt get rid of cloisters, instead they preserved them as places for intensive spiritual practice. The Dalai Lama teaches, enlightenment is hard work. I can confirm that after twent y years living as a yogi. Grace is part of it, but laziness is not smiled upon b y God. Jesus explained, those who believe in me will go to heaven. He meant a real and deep belief with that statement. The non-enlightened are not capable of tot al belief. The Dalai Lama has the two hand teaching. One hand is that of the stude nt, and the other that of the master. Only when both hands work towards the goal , can the student be brought to the world of light. Regarding intense spiritual practice, a few sentences from the sermon on the mou nt: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they sha ll be filled. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Righteousnes s means truth. To hunger for the right life means to long for a life in light. T o be pure in heart, one must first engage in intense spiritual practice. Jesus Christ was enlightened. He sat for forty days and nights in the desert. Th an the angels of God came to him and served him. Those who wish to live in God m ust meditate. Meditation is the way to a godly life. The early Christian desert dwellers often meditated in the desert like Yogis. The gospel of Thomas says sear ch for a place of calm. The gospel of Philip adds, it is necessary that each disci ple finds a place of stillness. From strength Christ managed his work, but throu gh rest (meditation) he created light (the divine child). Shuichi: I tend to exercises and ways to achieve something now and not work towa rds a later goal. This striving for enlightenment is a matter of ego. That would be actually counterproductive, because you are so focused on a target, instead of momentary existence. I believe that also unenlightenend people can talk about God. Nils: 1st Enlightenment is good. Living in God is good. Unenlightment sometimes is not so nice. 2nd Anyone can talk about enlightenment and God. The preoccupation with the ques tion of the meaning of life is basically good. 3rd Since enlightenment is a good goal, it is good to strive for it. The enlight enment itself comes from grace, but without any effort is usually no grace. 4th After I had met the enlightenment, I realized that it is the deeper meaning of life and its all worth to do it. 5th The path to enlightenment is very individual. You should feel very sensitive , where the road is personally. In my experience, the principles of truth (wisdo m) and love are very important. 6th Who really wants to reach the target, is helped by God (the enlightened mast

ers). It is good to pray every day, to meditate and to read spiritual books. 7th Aims are a matter of ego. Shortly before reaching the aim of enlightement th e ego disappears. Then you fall into the great being. On the path of yoga I find a constant back and forth between being and striving for the goal. Both are imp ortant. Both must be lived in each of the right moment. 8th Do not listen to the words of a stupid yogi. Think for yourself.

Nils: "I have seven arguments: The statements of the enlightened. They see God as light in the world in the for m of love, peace, and happiness. God is a term for the perception of the enlight ened. Every real religion establishes itself around an enlightened master. Every real religion has a word for God, (Tao, Nirvana, Brahman, Allah, Yahwe). The near death research refers to the independence of the soul from the body and the continued existence of the soul after death. Wikipedia supports my view on these things. At the same time, Wikipedia also brings up the arguments of the op position. Everyone can read the discussion there. The most important witness is Pam Reynolds. She has seen the light of God in the afterlife, and learned that t here is a paradise area. She has also demonstrated that her otherworldly experie nce was real. She heard the doctors during her out-of-body experience and could reproduce exactly the conversation later on. The gauges showed during her out-of -body experience that her brain could not think. There were no brain waves. And yet she has heard the conversation. Pam Reynolds could have heard the conversati on of the doctors only with her soul. Her ears were stoppered while the operatio n. Reincarnation research has referred to many cases of rebirth. Buddha knew his ea rlier lives. A good overview on reincarnations research can be found on Wikipedi a. The most important and well researched case is Shanti Devi. Physics refers to the existence of a higher cosmic information field (Amit Goswa mi, God as higher consciousness). The string theory supports this point of view. Parapsychology researches spiritual abilities such as thought transfer, the abil ity to see into the future, and to perceive and sense over large distances. This field has collected many cases of aforementioned topics. Scientific happiness research has proven the context between enlightenment, peac e, happiness, and love. They have recognized the principles which lead to a happ

y life. They have researched Matthieu Ricard as an enlightened person. I live as a Yogi. I have been in various states of enlightenment. I have seen Go d as light in the world, and as happiness, love, peace, and truth in myself. I m aintain that enlightenment and God exist. I maintain that it is better and happi er to be enlightened than unenlightened. I maintain that it is good to live in G od." Angel of the Good News Angel Gabriel the messenger 4. The Angel of the good news. When you have something wonderful, dont keep it to yourself. Share it with others and the happiness will increase for all. Then yo u'll transform your world into a paradise. Share the abundance in your life with other people. How can you make the people around you happy? Success. "I send li ght to ... May all people be happy. May the world be happy." Stop religious fights, get peace, love and happiness. It is possible!! Klaus: If there is God, there is also truth. I am searching for this truth becau se its important for me to understand the similarities and differences among the religions, and as such it is also important to take those differences seriously. Nils: There is only one truth. There is only one God. But this God is not compre hensible for unenlightened people. God can be described with words like love, pe ace, truth, happiness, and light, but those are words which cannot replace the e xperience of God. The main way to reach this experience of God is to do the corr esponding exercises and activities of ones respective religion consistently and w ith wisdom (with real feeling and emotions). Everyone must find the way which is correct for him or her in order to proceed spiritually. Klaus: Of course differnt religions can meditate together, but that doesnt get ri d of the differences, meditating together doesnt lead to the transcendental exper ience which brings everyone to the same God. Nils: If we really comprehend what God is, then every religion will come to the same God. Every religion can practice its own rituals, but we should also find w ays to practice spiritually together. Meditation is a good way toward this goal, as well as praying, singing, and celebrating together. When meditating, everyon e may use their own understanding of God, their own term for God. When we deeply experience our understanding of God, every term or word for God will lead to in ner peace and all-encompassing love. I wish for a world of love and peace, and n ot a world of so-called holy war, or wars over religion. I wish for the various religions to stop fighting one another but that they love and support each other . Angel of Happiness Two angels walk into the light of God. 5. The Angel of Happiness. Strengthen your inner happiness. Come into the light with your spiritual practices. Do yoga, take walks, go running, do thought work and meditation. Concentrate on the positive in your life. What is your deed of h appiness today? Success. Have a Happy Relationship In any relationship both partners should be very sensitive to their special way to find a happy relationship. And to consistently pursue the long term. Happines s research (Arnold Lazarus, John Gottman) has investigated how relationships wor k in the long term. The most important rules are: 1. A good relationship takes w ork. It is a false belief that one can let go completely at home. It takes some effort to make a relationship succeed. 2. Live yourself and your needs so that you feel good in thee. Do not work too m uch. 3. Avoid too much criticism. Make criticism factual, sensitive and at the right moment. The basic rule for a relationship is to find at least 2 or 3 opportuniti es for praise for every 1 critical comment. John Gottman's research concludes th ere should be only1 critical comment for every 5 other comments.

4. Avoid cutting off your partner too often when he expresses his wishes. Say ye s as often as is possible. 5. Solve conflicts constructively. Clarify the precise factual situation. Think about different solutions. Finde the good common ground. 6. Regularly spend time doing activities that give you and your partner pleasure. For example, sex, din ing, travel, excursions and a common hobby. 7. Gladden your partner regularly with a little attention. For example, flowers, small gifts, hugs and affection. Tell him that you love him. Take him in your a rms. Rejoice with positive words and gestures. 8. Avoid things that your partner does not like. Work on your own negative chara cteristics. 9. Fortify yourself adequately against negative behavior from your partner (for example tantrums, violations of positive life principles). Do not reward negativ e behavior. Stay in an neutral frame of mind or say "No". 10. Be a good team. A good relationship is based on teamwork. A good team has a common goal. It knows its way to success. 11. Be gentle with each other. Stay out of the way, if you are aggressive. Be ca lm and peaceful before you communicate with your partner. Be more gentle than ag gressive. Love grows on the basis of non-violence, kindness, wisdom and gentlene ss. 12. Compliment each other. Men love admiration. Women love gestures of affection . 13. Be honest with each other. Live in truth. Truth is the basis of every good r elationship. 14. Anchor your relationship with a positive principle. Find a suitable name for this higher principle. Call it happiness, love, truth, spirituality, enlightenm ent or living in God. Connect yourselves regularly in all beautiful and in all d ifficult situations with your higher principle. Live in the center of your relat ionship from your higher principle. 15. Forgive one another your faults. Love means being able to forgive. Love mean s being able to apologize. 16. Have patience. Love means having patience. 17. Do not demand too much from your partner or from life. "Anyone who cannot li mit his wishes becomes permanently unhappy. Who does not know his point of satis faction will never be satisfied" (Epicurus). 18. Take your partner as he is. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. No man is perfect. Love means to love your partner with his weaknesses. Accept the weakne sses in yourself, then you can accept the weaknesses in your fellow man. 19. The main happiness of a person comes from himself. Important for a lasting h appiness are daily spiritual exercises such as yoga, walking, reading, reflectio n (introspection), positive thinking (cognitive work) and meditation. 20. They who wish the happiness of all beings grow in their own happiness. This is the highest spiritual wisdom. The deepest secret of happiness is to live in existence (in the peace, serenity, in God) and to give love to all people. Both partners have to care good for the ir own inner happiness (health exercises, relaxation exercises) and to live main ly out of the giving. So we get happy relationships and grow at the same time in our own inner happiness. In the picture we see two angels. They grow through lo ve and joy into the light. Saint Nicholas Saint Nicholas 6. Oh Happy Day. St. Nicholas has come. What gift has he brought you? Recognize the gifts in your life. See the grace in your life. The highest grace is to know the spiritual path and to practice consistently. Be thankful for what you have been blessed with. My experience of Jesus Christ Nils: "My parents are atheists. After my studies, I became a lawyer. When I was thirty, I found my spiritual calling in addition to my profession. I did three h

ours of spiritual exercise daily. In November 1986 I had my first big enlightenm ent experience. During a meditation while lying down, a warm column of energy sl owly rose from my lower belly. As the energy reached my head, my self-consciousn ess disappeared, I became one with the all-encompassing love of the cosmos. I ex perienced extreme happiness. I was suddenly able to understand the holy books wr itten throughout mankind's history at a deeper level. The high point of my spiritual experience was what I felt as the entrance of the Holy Spirit. A thick beam of energy flew from the sky and into my crown chakra. The energy flowed through my body and filled it out completely. On my head was a small flame of energy. This experience is comparable with the Pentecost event. On the heads of the early Christians appeared small energy tongues. Spontaneous ly arose in me the thought that now I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit. I fe lt the energy beam as a descent of the Holy Spirit. A short time later I had another amazing experience. When I made my daily walk o ne evening, I suddenly had the feeling that I was seen from the sky. It was as i f at the sky there was a large eye that saw me. The message of this eye was: "Yo u can go your way with trust. You are guided by God." I read the Bible thoroughl y from front to back. Through my experiences of enlightenment I could now unders tand the deep wisdom in the Scriptures. I also understood what the term "God" di d mean. One day I layed on my bed and meditated. My thoughts always came to rest more an d more. Suddenly Jesus Christ stood as a great shining light in the middle of th e room. Back then I lived for six years as a hermit in seclusion. I knew immedia tely that this luminary was Jesus Christ. Jesus came to me and floated into me. I was filled with bliss. I rested for some time in this unimaginably large energ y of love, peace and light." Guardian Angel Guardian angel 7. Do not give up, in spite of all the difficulties. Your Guardian angel is with you. Stay true to your goals, "My goals are ... (happiness, living in the light , helping to create a happy world)." Great success awaits you. Your path is bles sed. The religion of the future Ulla: What is about the reformation of the church? Nils: However, it must honestly say that the Evangelical Church has implemented all the reforms called for by the Catholic Church and in spite of that is suffer ing from great loss of members. The main problem is the loss of faith in today's world. Ulla: Yes, people no longer believe. Nils: The Pope also pointed this out. Unfortunately he has no remedy for this. Ulla: For both of us it's easy! Nils: We combine science with real experience of God, and humor. This should be the belief of the future. Ulla: Yes. Nils: I think that more and more people will find this way. Simply because it is the way of today's scientific thinking time. Ulla: This is also my hope. Nils: What is the center of the faith? After Jesus love for God and love of the neighbor (all beings). I interpret this statement by Jesus, that love for God is the love to the spiritual goal (to the spiritual practice, to oneself). The lov e of the neighbor includes the path of universal love, the love of the poor (suf fering) and building up a happy world. Mother Mary Mother Mary 8. Mother Mary. Day of grace. Grace comes from wise living. Do At Least Three Mi nutes of Spiritual Exercises Every Day. You can think about your life (self-refl ection), meditate, consult an oracle , read a spiritual book, pray or meditate.

Consistency is the way to victory. Without perseverance and consistency, there i s no breakthrough into the light. Compassion and suffering with others Ulla: I just talked with a girlfriend about the difficult subject of pity and co mpassion. Nils: Compassion is an important spiritual quality. Ulla: Her sister always makes the same mistake again, to take the same kind of m an that is not doing her well. Nils: Learning from mistakes is good. This creates wisdom. Ulla: My girlfriend empathizes too much with her sister. Nils: Man / woman must be able to delimit oneself from the suffering of others. Otherwise one gets broken. Ulla: Yes, I told her so. Nils: Buddha taught to live in the balance of serenity and compassion . Ulla: Compassion is good. Pity is not good. Nils: I do not like to separate between compassion and pity. I also sometimes su ffer with the suffering people. But I can always rebuild myself and bring me int o the inner balance. Ulla: Some things can not solve. This must be recognized. Nils: It is not good for anyone if you get sick out of compassion. Ulla: Right! Nils: Formerly I could not delimit well enough from the suffering of others. A w ife in my positive thinking group had cancer. I was very taken. Ulla: I understand that. So is my girlfriend now. Nils: It's an art to maintain the right balance. I manage it through meditation and positive thinking. It is important always listen to your inner voice. I call it the voice of wisdom. Wisdom to me is the connection between mind and inner f eelings. It is important to me always to be in good contact with myself. Master of Life God as Father, Son (Jesus) and Angels (Holy Spirit) 9. See yourself as a master of life. You possess the knowledge of true inner hap piness and of embracing love. So you can give a significant contribution toward creating a happy world. What is your spiritual task in your world? How can you s hare your spiritual knowledge to others? The Christian doctrine of the Trinity d efines God as three divine persons: the Father (God), the Son (Jesus Christ), an d the Holy Spirit (the energy of the angels). The Holy Spirit is with you. Succe ss. How to learn positive thinking? Nils: Positive thinking leads to positive emotions. Positive emotions make the b ody healthy and the soul happy. What is your technique to go through life positi vely? Sabrina: You can write down every day some things that are beautiful. Thus one w ill become positive. Woman: You feel good by yourself if you're doing something good for others. Star Woman: My positive thinking is to think: "Cheer up, do not let things get." Jenny: In all, there is something good. You just have to find or recognize it on ly. Monika: Stop negative thoughts. Tell you quite deliberately "stop - so not" if t here are derogatory thoughts in you. Replace negative thoughts with positive tho ughts. Helga: After the death of my husband I have made one year "autogenic training". Si nce then, I can manage it to think positive. David: Rest in yourself. Do not let yourself affected negatively by others. Man: Do not take things too seriously. After the rain comes the sunshine. There is always a positive side within all events. Matilda: It's all in God's hands. God loves me and I must not fear. What I can n ot change, I accept! Do not get mad! Do not allow anger. Dana: I have always helped by the Bible and the religion. They have accompanied

me all my life. I try to make my life so that I'm happy here. I strive to live i n harmony with myself. I have got many negative things in my life. I'm a jack wi th a strong will to survive. Paradise Paradise is a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and timeless. If God is in the center of life, inner happiness awakes. The world then can be seen as paradise. 10. Reach a life in the light. Recognize your world as a paradise. Developed you r paradise consiousness. What thought will help you to feel your world as a para dise. "My paradise thought is ... (I have everything I need to be happy. Everyth ing's fine how it is. I live in the essentials.)" Paradise Meditation We concentrate on our bodies and through this process bring the spirit into a st ate of peace. We sense this through our legs and feet as we let the light circul ate through our lower limbs. We think of the word light as our mantra. We let the light then circulate through our arms and hands while envisioning the word light. We then wrap our entire bodies in a vision of light and think of the word at the same time. Then we relax. We begin our ascent to heaven. First we enter the astral world. We become a soul . We then visualize a cloud composed of very fine energy which encircles the bod y. We are this cloud. We concentrate on the cloud and not our bodies. We leave t he body and think of the mantra I am a cloud. I am a soul. I am independent from my body. We think of this mantra until we can feel this cloud. We visualize the entire cosmos around us as full of stars. Our souls can travel anywhere they so desire. We meditate on the cosmos. We think of the mantra stars. We make large circles with the arms until we feel at one with the cosmos. We fee l secure with our place in the world, we are at one with the world. We land in the upper astral world, beyond the material cosmos. This is the world of positive souls. We become positive unto ourselves. We consider the positive points in our lives. We think of the mantra Positive in my life is... We count as many positive things as possible, until the soul is glowing with positivity. Over the positive souls are the blessed souls. We are now in paradise. We imagin e that all our wishes have been fulfilled. What do you wish? Fulfill them or let go of them here. Define the point where you have reached enough. Create content ment with your life. My way to contentment is... Above the world of the happy souls lies the world of the enlightened. We become sons and daughters of God, Gods and Goddesses, enlightened Buddhas. We wish for a happy world. We envision the following: I send light to... May all people be ha ppy. May the world be a happy world. We move our hand to bless the entire cosmos with love and light. We move light i nto all areas of suffering. We send all suffering beings light. We surround them with light and think of the mantra I send light to all suffering beings. We think of all the problems in our lives and surround these problems with light. We int egrate our problems into our life. We become masters of our lives. We surround a ll our lifes situations with light. We come to the seventh heaven. We visualize a sun with strong energy composed of peace, love and happiness. The hands lay relaxed in the lap. We think of the ma ntra, Om sun, peace, love, happiness, living in the light. We fill our souls with peace, love, happiness and light, and rest in the light of God (in bliss, in the enlightenment energy). We connect ourselves with the enlightened masters. We rub the palms of our hands in front of the heart chakra and think, "Om all enlightened masters (Angels, Bu ddhas, Jesus, God). Please guide me and help me on my way. We feel how the energy flows with the mantra into us. Angel of Change Going from the darkness to the light (into a life in God).

11. The Angel of Change. Transformation. Big Change. What is today the change in your life? What you have to let go? What are your new goals? What is your way i nto the light? What is your way into a life of inner peace, love and happiness? Forward with perseverance. Success. Talk about the efficacy of prayer Rafa (atheist): You write: "The enlightened masters have said that prayer is imp ortant." I demand arguments! I believe that prayer doesnt logically make sense. D o you now have understandable arguments against it? Nils: When the enlightened masters say something, that is an argument for me. Du e to their larger horizon they see more than we do. But that does not replace yo ur own reflection. My way is to anchor myself primarily in my own wisdom. I note: There is enlightenment. If there is enlightenment, there are also enligh tened masters. We can imagine them as huge clouds of subtle consciousness energy . God is often pictured sitting on a cloud. This subtle energy is associated wit h feelings of peace, love, strength, happiness and clarity. An enlightened one c an send his energy to other people. If a man needs strength, peace, love, happin ess or wisdom (positive thoughts), an enlightened person can give it to him thro ugh the higher cosmic dimension. I have experienced this many times. The basic problem now is that the greater the enlightenment, the stronger is the energy, but unfortunately the enlightened becomes more and more inactive. His i nner peace and happiness are at a certain level is so much that he has little in terest to act externally. He lives desireless in the great desirelessness (in ex istence). He is perfectly happy with his life in God. Epicurus sees the gods (en lightened) as completely at rest in themselves, who do not care about the world. And therefore prayer is important. Without prayer, the great trancendent master s remain rather inactive. If we call the enlightened ones with a prayer, then th ey can act. Their love enables them to act externally in spite of their inner pe ace . It is good to pray several times a day. The greater the emotional connecti on with an enlightened, the better he can help us. The enlightened masters are through a higher dimension of consciousness one with our inner self. They send us their impulses through the voice of our own truth and wisdom. Therefore, it is emphasized in Christianity to hear always to the vo ice of conscience (the feeling of correctness). I always act out of my inner tru th. So in the long run each soul finds his way into the light. A prayer has two areas of impact. First, there is a appeal for help, and secondl y it works as a mantra. A mantra is a spiritual technique that cleans ourselves internally and fills us with happiness energy. A mantra can be thought as often as you like. It brings us forward on the spiritual path. It builds up inside us positive energy. A good Christian mantra is the Lord's Prayer. It is very strong , if we combine it with a visualization (see Pater Noster at the beginning of th e oracle). Rafa: It is said of God, he would answer prayers, but when you pray, it's pure c hance whether something happens. Nils: Those who pray for selfish goals, only exceptionally gets a wish-fulfillme nt. But who prays for his enlightenment and for help on his way of all-embracing love, always gets help. But not always the way he wanted. Not in a way that he feels great, rather in a way that his ego dissolves. God lives in a dimension ab ove our material cosmos. He is able to act that it seems to be happend by chance but it wasnt. God 12. The hidden master. You can keep your energy best if you live out the rest. P osition yourself small, unobtrusive and modest. Talk only when it is necessary a nd helpful. Stay in your center (in God, in your spiritual exercises) and be a h elper and healer of your people. Teach them to save themselves spiritually. Do l ittle. What is God? The term God refers to a higher principle in the cosmos. This principle cannot b e recognized by the ordinary dualistic mind. God is a mystery that one experienc es in enlightenment. Of God can only said that it is good to live in God. It is

better to be enlightened than not to be enlightened. Enlightenment (holiness, in ner healing) is the deeper meaning of life. Enlightenment is inner peace, inner happiness and universal love to all beings. Anyone who is enlightened, can see and feel God. He lives in God. He sees God as a kind of light that penetrates the entire world. He feels God as an energy aro und him and within him. He feels God as inner happiness, inner peace and inner s trength. He realizes that he is in a higher truth, which can also be described a s universal love. Spiritual enlightenment means to obtain a deep insight into th e purpose of all things, to understand the mind of God, or to achieve a fundamen tally changed level of existence whereby one's self is experienced as a nonchang ing field of pure consciousness. Mysticism is the awareness of God through direc t experience. God is a mystery that can be described personal and impersonal. In Judaism, Chri stianity and Islam God is seen as an acting person. God is a supreme being, whic h can be addressed as a person and asked for help. Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism (Chinese philosophy) prefere the abstract concept of God. God is higher energy and a state of being. Although both definitions of God can be found in every maj or religion, one can still say Christianity is more commonly associated with the personal concept whereas Hinduism is more connected to the abstract point of vi ew. Realize that every true religion is based on the experience of enlightenment of its founder: the Judaism of Moses, Christianity of Jesus, Buddhism of Buddha, Hi nduism of many enlightened. The center of a religion is enlightenment. Moses was enlightened, as he saw a shining (burning) bush after many years of a secluded life in the desert. He saw the light of God in the bush. Jesus became enlightene d, after John the Baptist gave him the Enlightenment energy (kundalini energy). After this Jesus meditated 40 days in the desert. Then the devil (his ego) left him and the angels ministered to him (he was able to help with the enlightenment energy his fellow human beings). Buddha got enlightenment after six years as a yogi under the Bodhi tree. Mara (the devil) disappeared and Buddha rested in hap piness. Moses has in contrast to Jesus, an abstract concept of God. In his central defin ition Moses describes God as: "I am." These words refer to God as a happy state of being which one experiences in the enlightenment. In the words "I am" the roy al road to enlightenment is mentioned. Man must develop a cosmic consciousness. He loses the sense of his self (ego). He experiences himself as pure consciousne ss, as one with everything and can say only, "I am." He can not say: "I am the . .. (name)." He identifies himself with everything. In yoga it is called Sat-Chit -Ananda, the compound from being, unity and bliss. Angel of Death and Resurrection 13. The angel of Death and Resurrection. There is suffering in your life. How ca n you overcome the suffering? Sacrifice your ego (your material wishes) and go i nto the light. Find your way of healing. Find helping exercises and thoughts. Ce nter yourself in spirituality (in God, in the essence). Live healthy and holy (e nlightened, in God, in happiness). Go forward with confidence and optimism. Succ ess. Ulla meets God Nils: Good day, dear Ulla! Can you tell me something about your life? Ulla: When I was sent to Sunday school, I liked to listen to the stories of Jesu s. Then followed a long period of spiritual sleep, how I would describe it today . I had several friends, but always felt it was not the right man. Until I got a man, with whom I had over 30 years of a desperate relationship. On the one hand , I always wanted to get away from him because he was doing me no good. On the o ther hand, I was not able to do it. But this negative relationship was at least the advantage that I got interested in religion. As my husband always went to be d early, I was still on long and I busied myself with the various religions. I p rayed to God since my childhood. God or Goddess? I wanted to know. I went on a fantastic meditation. I wanted to meet the goddess in a clearing! I imagined how I went to a little house through

a garden with flowers. I walked a beautiful forest trail along until I came to t he clearing. There I waited for the goddess! This meditation, I did with a wunde rfull meditation music. The meditation became independent. The road rose gradually, without being burden some, and the vegetation was lost. As I looked around me there was suddenly left and right of way only emptiness. When I went higher, I saw before me a bright l ight. As I approached this wonderful, warm light, I saw a Greek statue of a deit y. I went to this wonderful bright, love-emitting light, and asked simply, "So t here is not a goddess?" The light being turned to me, changed his form and I loo ked at my own face. I suddenly knew that God bears within himself the female, ma le, and everything else. I realized that each of us is a tiny part of God. God w ants nothing more than to re-unite with us. But we must be like God, full of lov e and selflessness. And this is often a long way. I was overcome with such a wonderful warmth, such a deep love and peace, that I would always prefer to stay with God. But unfortunately, I was then quickly brou ght back to my body. I found no rest and always wanted to come back to God. I me ditate every night and was very unhappy that it did not work. Then suddenly I ha d found the path again, but I saw a lot of branching paths. I realized that one should always be carefully on his way to not fall back again. And then I heard a voice in my heart, who said: "Why do you spend unnecessary time to see me again ? Live your life and be happy and make others happy, then you have done a lot?" Since that day my life changed completely. I have no more fears, can see into th e hearts of the people, do not have a husband anymore, no more house, no money a nd I am completely happy. Angel of Creativity Angel of Creativity 14. The Angel of Creativity. Solve emerging problems with wisdom and creativity. When we are relaxed and open, the best ideas appear. Work towards a happy world with your own creativity and sense of fun as your greatest ally. Think the mant ra, I send light to (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy. Be cr eative! Success. Saving the world Nils: Let's talk about saving the world. Ulla: It is very important that there is more love in the world. Nils: When I turn on the TV, I see a lot of suffering in the world. I see a lot of unnecessary wars. I see hunger. I see poverty. I see injustice. In the world there is too much hatred and selfishness. And too little love among the people. Ulla: I would teach the teachers to teach their students love and helpfulness. Nils: What would you do more? Ulla: I would provide for an equitable distribution of all goods. Nils: My first request would be that no man may starve in the world. The way is certainly long and difficult. The opposing forces are strong. But the power is w ith the good on the long term. There will be a golden age on earth. We will prev ail. Ulla: I'll join you. Nils: Worldwide spread selfishness more and more. The cause is the capitalist gl obalization. The capitalist television already reaches down to the last village in Africa. The people there have nothing to eat, but they have a TV in every vil lage. They will all be injected with consumerism and selfishness. Ulla: Those who recognized the problems of the world, become more and more. We m ust unite. Nils: Yes. The global justice movement is getting stronger. Against the power of the capitalist television, we can act on the internet. Ulla: How can we help ensure that there is a world of love and peace? Nils: Each person should use his personal resources. Many small water droplets w ill sometime become a mighty river. This sometimes happens very suddenly and unp redictably for the mighty in the world. And that's good. Ulla: Start small!

Nils: The little ones start small and the big ones make big things. All work tog ether. Ulla: Right! Nils: Mother Teresa said: "I can do what you cannot do, and what I cannot do you can do." Ulla: That it is! Everyone has some skills to serve the divine and all beings. Nils: The wonderful thing is that God has given each person a possibility to do good. Ulla: Exactly! Nils: And if nothing goes, you can still send every day to all beings on earth l ight. And through this little exercise you can already get to enlightenment and to a life in God. Ulla: Well, actually everyone can help! Nils: Thats it. Anyone can send at least light to all beings and pray for his fel low man. Ulla: What has to be observed by building a happy world? Nils: At the moment the world is organized according to the principle of egoism. This principle must be replaced by love. We must see ourselves as a global fami ly, where all work primarily for the general welfare. We should learn to work to gether, not against each other . Ulla: Yes, that's right. Nils: To create a happy human community people should provide the inner happines s in the center of their lifes. Ulla: Yes. If people are happy in themselves, they can also build happy relation ships. Many happy relationships then create a happy world. Angel of Self-Discipline The Archangel Michael defeated the devil (his ego) and brought the world into th e light. 15. The angel of self-discipline. With self-discipline you will be victorious. W hat are your goals? What is your way to success? What sacrifice (commitment, eff ort) you have to provide, so you're successfully on your way? "My goals are ... My way of victory is ..." Take Small Steps. Forward. Success. Coming close to God Mion (Jesus.de): I never really felt close to God. Perhaps this is yet to come. Nils: You have only to find the way by which you can be close to God. There are many spiritual techniques. Find out what works for you. If you really want, you can find your way to God. I get into the light by thinking and visualizing: "I s end light to .... (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy." A good way to feel God's presence is to meet holy (enlightened) people. I went t o Brother Roger of Taize, as he visited Germany. It was a great event in the exh ibition halls. I sat in the back of the large hall. Brother Roger was sitting up front and surrounded by his monks. And suddenly the Holy Spirit came down from heaven and filled me. I gave the light to all people in the hall so that they co uld partake of the joy of God. I do not know if anyone has felt this. Anyway, I think that Brother Roger has enabled me to experience God. Maybe you should even go to Taize. Everyone can be there for a few weeks and enjoy the sacred atmosph ere. Perhaps you experience God there. Or with other saint. There are so many ho ly people in the world. I got many times enlightenment energy in their presence. ---> Videos: Pope Highlights Work of Brother Roger (1 min.), The Taiz Community ( 2 min.) Angel of Self-Realization Be yourself. Live yourself. Realise yourself. Angel of Self-Realization. 16. Self-realization. Feel at every moment what you want, what you need and what you just are happy to do. Live from the pleasure principle. Listen to your spon taneous needs (without harming yourself or others). Awaken your vitality by just being yourself. Success.

The Five Duties Inner joy appears in a person when the tensions in body and soul have been disso lved. Buddha developed a very simple yet genius practice. This consisted of sitti ng, going, and thought practice. When one varies ones activities between sitting a nd being on the go, the inner conflict and tension can be done away with. When a person only sits, the spirit becomes dull and listless. Routine movement makes the spirit clear and keeps the body healthy and gives the person inner energy. I f you only go, the mind is restless. Inner happiness comes from inner peace. If the body is kept very quiet, well you can get into deeper dimensions of meditati on. In addition to periods of sitting and relaxing in combination with movement, working with the thoughts is important in getting rid of inner conflict. A spir itual person should develop his or her thoughts with love, wisdom, and self-disc ipline. He or she should learn to bring the thoughts into stillness. Then inner happiness appears. We live in God, in the light, in enlightenment. Nils has developed this basic model of stress resolution in the way of the five activities. The five activities according to Nils are: lying down or sitting (me ditating, relaxing), reading, movement (such as exercise and yoga), doing good f or others (work) and to enjoy life. These five duties should be practiced in var ying amounts, in the right balance, and are an effective way to get rid of inner conflict. The fifth duty consists of enjoying life. We should bring joy into our lives, op en our hearts, and bring light in. Everyone is predisposed towards something. Yo u can listen to beautiful music, eat something delicious, read a good book, watc h a movie, find time for your favorite creative hobbies, and so forth. It is imp ortant though, to pay attention to the amount with which we busy ourselves with enjoyment. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing, too little makes life d ull. What do you need today? Give it to you! Cherub Cherub. The power of a bull and the wisdom of a human. 17. The angel (cherub) with the characteristics power and wisdom. Make a clear p lan for the day. Do spiritual exercises and take breaks often. Practice the corr ect exercise in the right moment. Be effective. Release your inner tensions and awake your inner happiness. Find your way into the light. The power ist with you . Success. The Spiritual Daily Schedule For Nils, the spiritual daily schedule is a central technique on the path to lig ht. This is based on letting go of tension in the body and soul. When we live an d practice spiritual exercises for the body and mind everyday, then we will reac h enlightenment. The number of hours required on a daily basis to attain a life in the light (in happiness) varies from person to person, and their situation an d abilities. Nils meditates for six hours and goes for an hour walk twice a day. He practices Yoga for an hour and reads a spiritual book for one hour. He also works towards the happiness of others three to four hours per day. He exercises constantly. H e divides these spiritual exercises in a way that enables him to constantly unde rgo the inner purification process. A spiritual person know when he needs which technique. When the body is dull and lacking energy, he goes for a walk. When he or she feels restless, he or she pr actices Yoga or meditates. When the spirit seems to rebel against the spiritual way, a book on spiritual topics helps to bring back the conviction towards enlig htenment. He senses the inner conflict and uses the proper techniques to dissolv e the tension. That is usually what the body and soul wants the least at that mo ment. Wherever the neurotic tendency to feel repelled towards something is usual ly the way to the light. On the other hand, we need to sometimes give the body a nd soul what they would like, otherwise tension is built. The way to happiness r equires a lot of wisdom and inner sensitivity. ma.be (Jesus.de): I want to be myself and learn to sit in the sun in a lawn chai r, because Jesus has done everything for us.

Nils: Jesus has done everything in which he has shown us the way. But we must go the way by ourselves. We can find the way only, if we interpret the Bible with inner wisdom and intuition. The path into the light (holiness, Paradise) consist s of three main points. 1 The way of rest (lying relaxed in a lounge chair, livi ng in the silence) 2 The way of practice (prayer, meditation) 3 The way of unive rsal love (do good, take ones fellow man more important than oneself). All three points are important. Thus succeeds our spiritual path. They must all be practi ced at the right moment, in the right time, in the right way and personally in t he right proportions. Seraph Seraph with an eagle, a taurus and a lion. 18. Difficult situations come and go. Accept reality and go with the flow . Danc e with the chaos. The Seraph (Paradise Angel). He has the four qualities of wisd om (eagle), serenity (taurus, ego sacrifice), strength (lion) and love (angel). He uses the right quality at the right time and so remains in the light. Success . Find your purpose of life Look, think on, and go into the silence. I speak of the silence, deep within you , where you will find the I AM, and this is responsible for your meaning of life . If you have lost the connection to the inner stillness, you lose your sense of life and chase after meaningless things just to fill this gap. The sense of life is to live a good life. It is even better to be happy than to be unhappy. Find your personal path. Look closely at your skills, your life situ ation and the world around you. Then you know what you have to do. There is a wa y for everyone to be happy and to live permanently in the embracing love. Attempt to draw your eyes on the positive. Get a diary of happiness. Every day w rite down three things that you've got (even little things!) - after 2 to 4 week s you can see that every day was nice too. Meanwhile, I think every night before bed about what made me happy that day. Live after a good plan. The time of life is limited. Use it optimally. Define yo ur goals. Find a way on which you can achieve it. What are your goals? What is y our way of victory? What is your way of a fulfilled life? Life should also make some fun. Put as many elements of joy in your life that you can go your way posi tive. Take something that you are enthusiastic about you. "My way of joy is toda y ..." Live so that you are satisfied at the end with you and your life. Live in the great satisfaction. Satisfaction is a precursor of the Enlightenment. Find every day your way of satisfaction. "My way of satisfaction is ..." The Devil God and the Devil. 19. On Earth, there are good and evil. Be aware of your negative qualities. Then you can control and overcome them. What negative qualities do you have? Anger, sadness, anxiety, addiction, desire or pride? If you overcome your negative qual ities with the right spiritual method (mental work, meditation), you can come in to the light. If you're in the light, you have a unity consciousness. The dualit y (good and bad) is repealed. Everything is correct as is. You are in peace, in happiness and in God. In a way, you did overcome the dualistic world of angels a nd devils. If you want to act in the material world, you have to go back into th e duality. A wise life on earth means to use the duality in order to grow furthe r and further into the light. If you live in the light, you can descend into dua lity in order to help your fellow beings. What is your negative thought? What is your positive thought? How can you come into the light today (in a life in God) ? Success. Good and evil We are beings of the light. We are children of the light. The cosmos is our grea t mother and our great father. We play games of happiness in God and thus grows the eternal happiness of all beings. The problem with most of our fellow creatur

es is that they can not distinguish between good and bad games. Bad games often make happy the short term and unhappy the long term. Bad games are all games who focus of worldly desires. If we anchor ourselves in external things, we always long for more. We become te nsed inside, our inner happiness decreases and it takes everyone down. We are al lowed to live the external things. We can have relationships. We can play relati onship games. We are permitted to make us the outside world beautiful. But we mu st bring the spirituality at the center of our lives. We need to play our life g ames out of the focus of spirituality. We have to play on the basis of wisdom, l ove and peace. Only those games benefits us. This is difficult to understand. There are many little devils in the world playi ng negative games. Little devils are always poor devils. They lack wisdom and th ey end up harming themselves primarily. We need many angels in the world who can teach the little devils to play in the right way. If the angels are centered in wisdom, in their spiritual practices and in all-embracing love, then they win a nd that will be good games for everyone. If we look closely at the Bible, we see that the Devil is not mentioned often. M oses reported of a snake who lived in paradise and wound itself around a tree. T he snake is a symbol for the kundalini energy in yoga. This snake winds itself a round the tree of enlightenment, the middle energy canal. The snake embodies the wisdom of activating the internal energy of happiness. The Bible refers to a devil who came to Jesus as he sat for forty days in the de sert and meditated. Shortly before Jesus came to enlightenment, the devil appear ed to him. The devil wanted to stop him from destroying his ego and from attaini ng the point where he could live in the light. Before the tensions within a pers on dissolve, they strengthen for a time. A strong feeling of aversion to a spiri tual life appears and the worldly pleasures appear for a time to be more importa nt than God. They appear as a large source of confusion and temptation. With a little imagination, the devil can be imagined. One can see the ego as a s ort of inner devil who stops one in the path towards enlightenment. However, thi s devil is not a being, but a part of the individuals own self. He is a visualize d ego conflict. In the Bible it is described with an image, a presence, but this is not to be taken literally. In Buddhism, the devil is called Mara. Before he achieved enlightenment, Mara ca me to Buddha. Buddha reached his hand towards the earth, activated his root chak ra, and rid himself of this ego conflict. Mara and his entire army of temptation disappeared. After Buddha triumphed, the light of enlightenment flowed within. With Jesus, it meant that the angels came and served him, after he managed to ov erwhelm his ego and came to enlightenment. There is no devil in reality. In its basic substance the universe is made of lig ht. Everything is God. Everything is clean. One can only live things in the cosm os wrong. You can put your ego at the center of your life. The right path can be found with the principles of truth and love. With these two properties we can d efeat the devil. Who's going through his full life consistently with wisdom and love, one day comes into the light (in a life of God, into the paradise). Angel of Healing 20. You have worked enough. Recover now. Give yourself a break. Let yourself res t and relax. The angel of healing. Heal yourself from the stress of life. Practi ce the five principles of health. Joy of life comes from inner peace, from the r elease of tension in the body (bodywork) and spirit (mental work). At a certain point the spirit changes into happiness. Success. Healing through the path of enlightenment After five years of continuous stress associated with a difficult relationship I got 30 years ago a burnout. I wanted to heal me. I tried everything that the cu rrent medicine has to offer. But nothing helped. My theory is that the strong st ress had caused many internal tensions. Healing would occur if these tensions ar e disassembled. I tried to get rid of the tensions through systematic spiritual exercises. Some times I broke through to enlightenment. Then the burnout was gone and I was cure

d for a short time. Unfortunately, new tensions emerged. Then the enlightenment disappeared. But I can say that enlightenment is ultimately a way of healing. Th erefore there is hope for you. The main path of healing is, in my experience, to live in enough rest, make suff iciently spiritual exercises and to do good deeds (living in love to all). In ad dition you have to practise the five principles of health (healthy diet, avoid h armful substances such as smoking and alcohol, regular exercise, positive thinki ng, and enough sleep). Basically you should spend no more energy in your life in outward things, as you have. If you live quietly enough, the life energy turns inward and heals a pers on. For me a variety of diseases disappeared over the years as a hermit. Thus it is described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the holy book of Yoga. And here it se ems to me to be your first problem. You have organized your life now so that you will grow in sickness and unhappiness. You are surrounded by things that rob yo u your energy. This system must be changed. How, you may try out creatively for yourself. You s hould bring as much rest in your life that you are even get a little boring. It is precisely at this point, that your vital energy begins to turn inward and hea ls you. This is the great secret of rapid spiritual growth and inner healing. Specifically, I recommend to you, because you have a job and a family, three hou rs each day of spiritual exercises. Feel what is right for you and what brings y ou to healing. Helpful are walking (running), yoga, to read in a spiritual book and to meditate. Meditation is basically quite simple. Watch a video with spiritual exercises on the Internet, do the exercises, thus solve your energy blockages and activate yo ur healing energy. Then sit relaxed or lie down and hear beautiful meditation mu sic (for example, New Age music from the Internet). You lie or sit until you are completely relaxed and became positive inside. The combination of a short activ ation of the kundalini energy (healing energy) through yoga exercises (breathing , mantras, visualizations), followed by a long resting phase quickly take you in to a good energy. You do that every day and get so over the years more and more healthy and happy. Angel of Forgiveness 21. Today you are an angel of forgiveness. What positive thought helps you to ac hieve forgiveness? What is your sentence of forgiveness? "I forgive the cosmos ( life, God), that my way is so hard. I forgive my friends AND my enemies (Childre n, partner, family members) that ..." Forgiveness Woman: What others have done to me, I will not forgive. It is enough that I forg ive myself. This must suffice. Forgiveness is only something for Holy. Nils: It is not enough. You harden inside. You block your energy of happiness. Y ou put this in all your future relationships. It is very important to obtain for giveness. Even though it is sometimes very difficult. Forgiveness is something f or Holy and Unholy, to become healthy inside. Jesus taught to love his enemies. The first step is to come to forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there will always be wars in the world. If you want peace, the world should learn to forgive. Woman: Forgiving a person means to refer him to a subordinate level. That makes me bigger than him. Therefore, I do not forgive. Nils: Who forgives, lets go of his ego. He rises with his fellows into the level of love, peace and light. Paradise Angel Paradies Angel with great power (cherub). 22. Wisdom, selfdiscipline and love. Get inner happiness. Get into the light. Ge t into a life in God. Transform your world into a paradise. What is today your a rt of living? Go ahead with optimism. Success. Enlightenment Enlightenment is the central point to understand the philosophy of happiness. Ac

cording to Swami Sivananda, there are three main paths to enlightenment, the pat h of peace (live in rest), the path of love (do good) and the path of practicing (yoga, meditation). The best way is to practice all three ways. Everyone should find the spiritual exercises that suit him well. In order to resolve our intern al tensions and to awaken our inner happiness, we need exercises for the body (y oga, walking, meditation) and exercises for the mind (self-reflection, thoughts control, doing good) . Basically you get to the enlightenment (to a life in the light / in God) through the personally right combination from meditation and men tal work. The basic principle of Epicurus was, "A philosopher lives like a God (Buddha, En lightened, Holy) among the people." The most important enlightenment technique f or Epicurus was next to a life in stillness the daily positive thinking. Epicuru s called it "philosophize." A life will be happy when we constantly think positi ve and live with enough rest. A person should philosophize every day. He should think about the meaning of life, reflect on his positive goals and consistently go his path of truth and wisdom. The center of philosophy is the question of the meaning of life. Who goes throug h life without this issue, lives unconscious. Blessed is the one, who finds his purpose of life through his philosophical thinking. He can live wisely and strat egically. He will receive a full life. Live happily. Live with the happiness res earch and the philosophy of happiness. The people are different and have differe nt ways of inner happiness. For some people it is good to live as an extreme asc etic (Diogenes). For some people it is right to try the path of the outer pleasu re enough, until they are ready for the path of inner happiness. For most people , a mean way with some outer joy is the best spiritual way. Think about life. What are your goals? What do you want to reach in your life? " My goals are ... " Think about inner and outer happiness. The happiness research found out, that happiness comes to 90% from inside and only to 10 % from outer things like a great partner, much money or a big career (Sonja Lyubomirsky). Thi nk about enlightenment. Enlightenment is the biggest happiness. Find your person al way of spirituality. Center your life in Logic (in a higher reason like truth , love, inner happiness or enlightenment). What are the spiritual exercise you w ant to do daily? Make a good plan of your life. In yoga there are four phases of a full life, learning in the childhood, work as adult, relationship or family i n the middle of the life and selfrealization in the old age. Holy Christians Bede Griffiths 23. Who every day goes one step forward, some day he will reach his goal. What a re your goals? What is your way? What is today your deed for the happiness of al l beings? What can you do for the love and the peace between all religions? Move one hand and think, I send light to (name), May all people be happy. May the wor ld be happy. Bede Griffiths David Steindl-Rast Bede Griffiths was born in 1906 in England and died in 1993 in India. He made le cture tours through the West and sparked waves of enthusiasm out there. He wrote many books. He was a great inspiration to many Christians today. At him they fo und the love and the authenticity that they had been looking for. His final word s were: "I am so happy. I'm so full of love. This is my commandment, that ye lov e one another. In this is included the whole gospel." Bede Griffiths wanted the adaptation of Christianity to the present day. He taug ht that the disclosures of all religions complete one another. All the holy book s of all religions together give the whole thing. A spiritual person can and sho uld learn from the books of all religions. Bede Griffiths was, how many great saints, very uncomfortable for his church. He explained that the Catholic Church must change. She should find new ways to exp

ress the Christian message. She should make love, not the sin to the center of h er faith. Bede Griffiths advocated the abolition of compulsory celibacy for priests, the p riesthood of women and to establish inter-religious communities. His ashram in I ndia was visited by people from all religions. He sent his Christian students to other spiritual traditions, so that everyone could find just the personal right way for him to enlightenment. Much like Bede Griffiths also represents David Steindl-Rast a pluralistic theolo gy of religions. David Steindl-Rast grew up in Austria. He graduated from Vienna in art and got a degree in psychology, in addition, he studied anthropology. Af ter receiving his doctorate in psychology in 1952 he emigrated to the United Sta tes. In 1953 he entered the Benedictine monastery of Mount Saviour in Elmira, NY . In 1965 he was one of the first monks after the Second Vatican Council, appoin ted by his abbot, to deal with the inter-religious dialoguebetween Christianity and Buddhism. He then practiced with several Japanese Zen masters. In the Intern et Steindl-Rast founded the international network Grateful life. If he is not tr aveling on lecture tours, he lives as a hermit. ---> Videos: Bede Griffiths talks about the love of God (3 min.), Bede Griffiths talks about God (5 min.), Brother David Steindl-Rast, Search for Spirituality ( 1 min.), Thomas Keating, God in us (1 min.) Christmas The Christmas tree symbolizes the enlightenment. 24. Santa Claus brings the gifts. Be Santa Claus. Today the way of happiness is not wanting to have but wanting to give. Give love, peace and happiness. Enjoy t he good news, that God exists and that Jesus Christ was born and showed us how t o live a fullfilled live. Be generous and dont see the weaknesses of your family. Make your fellow man happy. Send all people light and think, I send light to (na me). May all people be happy. May the world be happy. THE FOUR CANDLES (A little Christmas story from Doro and Nils) A candle was burning on the Advent wreath. It was so quiet you could hear how th e candles began to talk. The second candle said: "My name is PEACE. People dont w ant me!" The third candle sighed: "My name is LOVE. The people only look at them selves and not to their fellow beings!" The fourth candle flickered: "My name is FAITH. But people want nothing to do with me." Then the first candle said, "My name is Truth. Do not fear. The people are alway s looking for me and if they found me, also the lights of love, peace and faith will burn again." A child came, took the light from the first candle and lit it at the other candl es. Now all four lights were burning, because it was shortly before Christmas. A nd then on Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ was celebrated, who has shown ma nkind the way of love, peace, faith and truth. ---> Video Enya: We Wish You A Marry Christmas ---> Light A Candle. Birth of Jesus Christ The Birth of Jesus. The beginning. 25. The Holy Family. Birth of Jesus Christ in the stable of Bethlehem. We have t o live our family and the world centered in positive values (wisdom, love, peace ). If we work together and form a good team, the whole family will be happy. Wha t you can contribute to the happiness of your family and your friends? What star ts today? Blessing. Success. The Sermon on the Mount Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemak ers, for they will be called children of God. Jesus meant poor in terms of the inner self, and not the outer self. Outer poverty does not lead automatically to inner happines. Those who let go of outer attach ments, can simply exist and find a way to inner contentment in God. Suffering in and of itself does not lead to happiness. However, those who can take suffering in their lives and raise themselves through spiritual exercises, can find solac e in inner peace. Mourning can help to let go, but one should not allow the self to be overwhelmed by grief. Grief is not the center of life, rather inner peace . Those who can greet their fellow beings with non-violence and placidity, can liv e in a relaxed and peaceful way and relinquish into a cosmic consciousness. Thos e who are at peace with all things, are at peace with themselves. Justice means correctness in the Bible. To long for a correct life, means to lon g for a life in the light. Those who long for happiness and search for it in the right places will receive it one day, in the form of inner peace. Those full of empathy, will feel with the cosmos. Those who love their enemies w ill experience inner harmony. Those who experience the center of their existence as a love for all other beings will be rewarded by God with an all-encompassing love, peace, and inner happiness. To dissolve inner tension, exercises for the body are required (going, meditatio n) and exercises for the spirit (reading, thought exercises). Those who exercise spiritually every day will reach a lasting happiness one day. Then one day the meaning of God will be found. Those who let go of the ego, come into the light. Without a sacrifice, the break through to enlightenment cannot be made. Those who live according to these teach ings and therefore experience difficulty in their daily lives, provide the basis for such a spiritual sacrifice. To let go in a spiritual manner is an art. Thos e who do not go about this the right way create inner tension and conflict. We s hould not sacrifice too little or too much. Those who go about this the right wa y will be rid of their inner conflict. A peacemaker is a person who makes peace within the self and the world. Those wh o are enlightened can be called holy, a son or daughter of God. Those who live i n peace radiate peace into the world. The central message of Jesus Mount Sermon is that a person cannot serve two lords . He cannot serve God (inner happiness) and money (the outer form of happiness). O ne has to decide for him or herself as to what form of happiness he or she will seek to attain. As a wise person, one must place the way of peace, serenity, lov e, and spiritual exercises as the central point of existence. In this way, he or she will one day find true happiness and live in the light. The Enlightened Master Jesus Christ 26. A great treasure in life is to have an enlightened master. Who do you trust (Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mother Mary)? Whose spiritual teachings do you like? Anyo ne who goes her or his way every day with an enlightened master (prayer, meditat ion, reading), grows into the light. Get connected with a spiritual role model. Who is your spiritual role model? Think the mantra: "Om all enlightened masters. Please guide and help me on my way." Use the mantra with the name of your perso nal role model (Jesus, God). Feel yourself really connected with your role model . Visualize it in the heaven or in front of you. Then his spiritual energy flows into you and strengthen you on your way. Transcendent Masters (enlightened souls in a higher dimension) Christ means the anointed, the king, the transcendent master. According to Amrit anandamayi (Amma) there are fully enlightened souls in the afterworld. They poss es a cosmic consciousness which is at one with the cosmos (with he light) and th rough this they are also one with one another. One could view this as a mass of souls who see themselves as one (God), or a mass of souls who view one another a s friends. We can therefore pray to God or to the enlightened souls in the after

life. It is also possible that an enlightened master is simultaneously present o n the earth in a body and as a soul in the afterlife. As a soul he or she can al ways see us and help us. According to Amma, a prayer is always heard and reacted to or upon by one of the se higher beings. It doesnt matter what name humans use in the process, whether i t be Allah, God, Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, or Odin, it is all the same. The only p oint of importance is that the person praying would like help from a higher forc e in the cosmos. God is often described as a cloud in Christianity. This image goes well with the idea of the aforementioned great enlightened force of souls. We could consider these souls as an energy cloud of highly developed consciousness. They are capab le of affecting every dimension of the cosmos with beams of light. This often tr anspires via symbols such as books, images, and statues which appear in certain locations. More spiritually developed humans are able to sense these beams of en ergy which emanate symbolically through the statues and images. People can focus and turn this energy into inner power, peace, or positive thoughts. Angel of Love Mother Mary as Queen of Heaven. She gives love to all her children. 27. You are loved. God loves you. Jesus loves you. Love yourself too. Become an Angel of Love. What is your deed of love today? Send light to all people and com e into the energy of love and light: "I send light to (name). May all people be happy. May the world be happy." What is a Christian? ma.be (Jesus.de): What makes you a Christian? Nils: There are many Christian groups. We should not fight each other. We should love us, respect us and work together. AChristian ist a person who recognizes J esus as his spiritual role model, connects with him regularly and follow his com mandments. This is especially the love to God and love for his neighbor (all peo ple). You must not agree with every word of the Bible. ma.be: Do you accept that you are a sinner and need forgiveness, to have fellows hip with God. Nils: What is sin? Sin is to have an ego. The ego makes you to fall out of the P aradise, out of a life in God and out of the Enlightenment. Everyone who is unen lightened is a sinner. His task is to overcome his ego with his spiritual exerci ses and to get into a life in the light. Our sins are forgiven us in the moment when we seriously begin to go our spiritual way. Then the grace will unfold at i ts time. Chaya (Christian woman): What is the ego? Nils: The ego is a phase of human development. In a material world you need a st rong ego to survive as an individual. For the whole of humanity, a strong ego of its individual members is dangerous. If the people look too much on their indiv idual interest and pay too little attention to collective interests, the human r ace can destroy itself. At the moment, we watch the madness that in a globalized world, few people are immensely rich and about a billion people are starving. F or me this is an exaggerated egoism of the rich. The rich should give to the poo r so much money, that all people can live well. The rich will do that, only if t hey understand that inner happiness and love is the center of man. Inner happine ss grows when you overcome the selfishness and live in the all-embracing love. T he inner happiness is blocked by the tensions in the body and in the mind of a m an. This tensions can be dissolved through physical and mental exercises (yoga, walking, positive thinking, meditation). Tensions arise mainly from fears (rejec tion of suffering) and attachment to external pleasures. The ego is a result of internal tensions. The more a man purifies himself inwardly, the more his soul i s healed, the smaller is the ego. When love and happiness in a man grow, the ego disappears on its own and the man gets into a cosmic consciousness (unity consc iousness). Then one feels love to all beings and is in harmony with himself and the world. Nils : How do you connect with God?

Ulla : I am always connected to God somehow. I just speak to God when ever I thi nk to do so, or need to do so. Nils : How do you speak with God? Ulla : Mostly I just pray to him. Nils : How do you pray? Ulla : Actually I really just thank God and wish that everyone is well. Nils : How do you imagine God while praying? Ulla : I imagine God just as I have been allowed to see God, as a being of light from energy and love. Nils : What form does God have for you? Ulla : No distinct form, because God can change form as he wishes. Nils : According to my experience, God is the highest dimension of consciousness in the cosmos. We can see God in whatever way brings us to enlightenment and li ght. Ulla : Yes, thats the way it is. Nils : How do you come into the consciousness of light? Ulla : Through love of course! The more we love and help others, the more we com e to God. Angel of Thankfulness Angel of Thankfulness 28. Thankfulness. What are you thankful for? Practice today a ritual of gratitud e. Fill you with the energy of gratitude. "I am thankful for ..." Living in the light of God Elizabeth (facebook girlfriend): "Here I'll describe my path who led me into the light and gave me the love (...) I am a nurse by profession. At the age of 38 a n illness struck me, the Firbomyalgie syndrome. And everything I had built up my self was lost. I was so desperate that I nearly gave up my life. (...) I began t o think about death. How would that be like. Then I thought about life. What was the meaning of life? Was it the sense to be born, to struggle through his life, only to die then. (.. .) And there it was again the question: who was I anyway? I thought about the people. Why were they so unhappy? No one saw the beauty of n ature. (...) I made a long walk throug a forest nearby. Suddenly I had to stop. I saw a flash coming down out of a tunnel from above. And something penetrated m e. I got a wonderful feeling within myself. A feeling of warmth, love and hope. (...) I did not really understand what had happened. But I felt an incredible pe ace, an incredible satisfaction. I was so happy as never before in my life. And it was as though a veil pulled from my eyes. Everything was suddenly brighter an d clearer, as if I would see better. Everything seemed so clean and pure. As if I would see a new world. I saw the light of God in the word. And this has remain ed until today. I always live in the light of God. Now I was the one I've always been. A woman of quiet tones. And everything is go tten better since then. My illness has disappeared since then more and more. (.. .) It was remarkable also, that I understood at once the words of Jesus and the Bible. (...) And I knew now what love is. Love is not dependent on people, but s olely from oneself. (...) And then I suddenly knew what God is. It is the energy that is everywhere and everything. And this energy is pure consciousness. And t his consciousness is shaped to all that which is. And this light came to me and brought me love. (...) And I more and more got aware what was been given to me." Angel of Joy Angel of Joy 29.

The Lords Prayer Nils 2011: I've just been completed the angel oracle in time for Christmas. When

I saw the cover picture on the Internet (the Pater Noster at the beginning of t he oracle), a strong energy radiated to me from it. The image refers us to conne ct the Lord's Prayer(Christian main mantra) with visualizations and thereby stre ngthen the spiritual effect considerably. For Teresa of Avila the Lord's Prayer was a strong way to activate the kundalini energy and quickly come to a life in the light. To have a powerful effect, we should speak or think the prayer how it fits us best. We should interpret the images so that they are helpful to us. We can formulate the sentences of the Lord's Prayer in our own words. This can hel p us to come better into contact with the energy of the prayer. The Pater Noster picture divides the Lord's Prayer in eight areas. 1.Our Father in heaven, (We visualize God as a light or a person in heaven above our crown chakra.) 2.hallowed be your name, (We imagine a beautiful melody to our image of God.) 3.your kingdom come, (We recognize our world as a paradise.) 4.your will be done, on earth as in heaven. (We take all things in our lives as they are.) 5.Give us today our daily bread. (We are grateful for everything positive in our lives.) 6.Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. (What do you want to forgive your fellow man or God / your life today?) 7.Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. (What false desires you want to let go of today?) 8.For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen. (Feel the power and the light of your spiritual role model flowing into you and filling you. Think Amen as long until you are one with the power of Jesus or God . Move one hand and send the light with the mantra Amen to all beings on earth. So you will come fully into the light.) Angel of Humor Angel of Humor 30. Laugh at life. Who rests in his own happiness, can laugh at the chaos of lif e. The angel of humor. He lives the joy. He makes jokes. He sees life as a game. Be positive as you go through the day. Do not take things too seriously. Today you can be a little wild and crazy. Have fun. :-) :-) ;-) :-) Men and women Nils: Men and women are different. There is no doubt about it. But rather than f ocus on the negative characteristics of men and women, why not praise the positi ves? Let's start with the women: women are compassionate, caring, and socially. Women cry when they are happy. Women bring joy and laughter in this world. Women are kind and loyal. They will not give up under any circumstances to get for th e best for their children. Women have the ability to smile when they are so tire d that she can hardly stand up. They know how to make a simple meal into a feast . They know how to comfort a sad friend. They know how to deal with children for endless hours! They know how to give a man the feeling to be king. Women make t he world to a happier place. Sybilla: WOW. Thank you .... ;-)) That feels really good just now! Sonja: ..... Thaaaaaaaaaank you. Dear Nils, you nearly were a man to marry. Lol :))) Nils: Alll my ten ex-women had an other point of view! Lane777: Do you think that a man who wants to be enlightened, must renounce all earthly things? Nils: The Bible says that man must choose between God and the world. A waiver is necessary. Either a person lives his ego or his higher self. But you can make c ompromises. It is primarily an inner seclusion. Who can remain in his spirituali ty, can also celebrate with worldly people happy parties. I lose my spiritual aw areness often having much worldly contact (for example when watching TV more tha n one hour). But then I clean myself inside, do some spiritual exercises and I'm

happy again in me. It is even so with me, that I find a bit wordly pleasure ben eficial for my spiritual path. St. Anthony taught that some people need a little flower, and some are not. I need every day a little flower of joy in my life as a hermit. I have found that the secular energies of television and the spiritual energy of love, peace and happiness are opposing energies. After several hours of watchin g TV every enlightenment energy disappeares. For a person who strives for inner happiness, it is important to avoid either the television or watch TV wise. This means to select the programs prudently, to limit the time spent watching televi sion and properly clean oneself after each television consumption. Specifically, people are very different. Television affects people very differently. Every sp iritual person should therefore find out the path that is best for them. I feel every day exactly what I need right now and what brings me spiritually forward. Angel of Victory Burning angel. Burning the ego and awaken in the light (in a life in God). 31. The Angel of victory. He burns his ego and so comes into the light. He chase s away the evil spirits (negative thoughts) in his mind and awakens his inner ha ppiness. Who walks with God (the angels, the enlightened masters) will win on th e way of life. His life is blessed. Crucifixion and resurrection of the ego. New Year, Easter. What are your good intentions? What are your goals? What is the w ay on which you reach your goals? Celebrate the day. You will win or have won. The Five Seekers There were five people who sought God. One was an atheist, an other a Christian, the third a yogi, the fourth a Muslim, and the fifth a Buddhist. One day the fi ve seekers came to a large mountain. Up on the mountain shone a bright light. Th e atheist said: "This is the sun." The Christian said: "This is God." The Muslim s gave it the name of Allah. The Buddhist thought it was the Nirvana (emptiness / unity / bliss). The Yogi called it Brahman (the higher reality). The five-seekers debated long about the light, the happiness and God. The atheis t insisted that there is no God. The Buddhists did not believe in a personal God . Which the Muslim and the Christian contradicted violently. The Yogi surprised his friends by stating: "This question cannot be clarified by an unenlightened m an. We all must get enlightenment, then we will understand what God is." The five seekers had a long talk about God. They learned about their respective viewpoints. The talk was a great enrichment for all. But they could not come to a final result. They therefore decided to climb the mountain and to investigate the light exactly.There were many paths leading up the mountain. Everyone rose u p on his own path. When everyone had arrived at the summit, they decided to enter into the great my stery. They took each other by the hand and went into the great light. They pass ed through a great darkness (the ego resolution) and found themselves in God (tr anscendence). They stayed some time in God and then went back into the world of matter (the duality of things) . In God all had been speechless. But now her min d began to work. Excited, they told each other about their experiences. The Yogi felt God as happiness (peace-unity consciousness-bliss), the Christian as universal love, the Buddhist as inner peace (no attachments), the Muslim as a great power and the atheist experience God as a higher truth. The Muslims got t he word "Allah", the Christian the word "God", the Buddhist the word "Enlightenm ent" (my Buddha nature), the Yogi "Sat-Chit-Ananda" (I am this) and the atheist "Cosmos" (unity consciousness). If they thought their particular word, they coul d immediately go back into the light. The word was their personal key to entry i nto the great mystery. Anyone who has met God, can come with the power of the me mory and his personal mantra again into the state of enlightenment. Each of the seekers kept his word as the greatest. They were arguing about their prayers and could not agree on a verbal level. So they decided to end their con flict and prefer to concentrate on the spiritual practice. They lived many years together on the mountaintop. They read in their scriptures, meditated a lot, pi lgrimaged every day to the mountain summit and met once a week to a joint celebr

ation. Some day all arrived the permanent light. And the great light them. They saw the light in all beings and all things of the world. ed that they are all brothers and sisters. May we stop all religious world. May we be build a golden age of love, peace and happiness on the light, the love and the truth always be with us. ---> Video Joan Baez We shall overcome
