Es ist wichtig, für seine Träume ein paar Kämpfe durchzustehen – nicht als Opfer, sondern als Abenteurer.

Das Auge gibt dir Licht. Wenn deine Augen klar sehen, wirst du dich überall sicher bewegen können. Wenn du nun schlecht siehst, tappst du unsicher herum. Hast du aber Gott aus den Augen verloren, wie schrecklich wird dann deine Finsternis sein!
Matthäus 6, 22-23 (NT)

Das Auge ist des Leibes Licht. Wenn nun dein Auge einfältig ist, so ist dein ganzer Leib licht; so aber dein Auge ein Schalk ist, so ist auch dein Leib finster. Lukas 11, 34 (NT)

Und alsobald fiel es von seinen Augen wie Schuppen, und er ward wieder sehend. Apostelgeschichte 9, 18 (NT)

Persönliche Bekenntnisse – Hellsichtigkeit

Von meiner Kindheit an erfreute ich mich der Gabe dieser Schau in meiner Seele bis zur gegenwärtigen Stunde, da ich schon mehr als 70 Jahre alt bin. Und meine Seele steigt, wie Gott will, in dieser Schau bis in die Höhe des Firmaments und die verschiedenen Sphären empor und hält sich bei verschiedenen Völkern auf, obgleich sie in fernen Gegenden und Orten weit von mir entfernt sind. Und da ich dies auf solche Weise in meiner Seele schaue, erblicke ich auch den Wechsel der Wolken und anderer Geschöpfe. Ich sehe dies aber nicht mit den offenen Augen und höre es nicht mit den äußeren Ohren; auch nehme ich es nicht mit den Gedanken meines Herzens wahr noch durch irgendeine Vermittlung meiner fünf Sinne, vielmehr einzig in meiner Seele, mit offenen Augen, so dass ich niemals die Bewusstlosigkeit einer Ekstase erleide, sondern wachend schaue ich dies bei Tag und Nacht. Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) deutsche Äbtissin des Benediktiner-Ordens, Gelehrte, Heilkundige, Mystikerin, Schriftstellerin, Komponistin

Hingabe erschließt einem die Vision, die anstelle von Wahrnehmungen tritt. Einzig durch Übergabe, die mit Gottergebenheit einhergeht, erweist sich das beabsichtigte Handeln als spontane Entfaltung der sich entwickelnden Schöpfung an sich. Gottergebenheit ersetzt den hingebungsvollen Einsatz des Egos zum Selbstzweck, und man bezeugt die Auswirkungen beziehungsweise Folgewirkungen im allumfassenden Energiefeld. FU Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 36

Wir sind aus solchem Stoff wie Träume sind, und unser kleines Leben ist von einem Schlaf umringt. William Shakespeare [BW 465] (1564-1616) englischer Dramatiker, Bühnenschriftsteller, Lyriker, Schauspieler, Der Sturm, 4. Akt, 1. Szene / Prospero

Monty Roberts (*1935) US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Pferdezüchter, Pferdeflüsterer, Rodeoreiter, E-Newsletter, A Letter From Monty regarding global views on whips in racing, April 2006

Wenn wir zum Mars fliegen – und das werden wir – wäre es dumm, auf die Erde hinunterzublicken, und zu sagen: Ich kam von den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, Deutschland, Frankreich, England oder Israel. Nein! Wir kommen von der Erde! Um das sagen zu können, sind wir noch nicht reif.

Reference to:

the Third Eye

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
But it your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6, 22-23 (NT)

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light;
but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11, 34 (NT)

The people living in darkness have seen a great light, and for those living in the land and shadow of death, a light has risen.
Matthew 4, 16 (NT) International Standard Version, 2008

Without a vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29, 18 (OT)

Yggdrasil

If the vision was true and mighty, as I know, it is true and mighty yet; for such things are of the spirit, and it is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost. Black Elk ['Wičháša Wakȟáŋ; Hehaka Sapa'] [LoC 499] (1863-1950) North American medicine elder and heyoka of the Oglala Lakota tribe (Sioux) of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux), Catholic katechist, Pine Ridge reservation, South Dakota, Black Elk Speaks, 1932, reported by John Neihardt, 1961

There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. I won't have it. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee; we are raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain or Lazarus. Thomas Merton [LoC 515] (1915-1968) Anglo-American Catholic writer, Trappist monk, poet, social activist, mystic student of comparative religion

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird sleeps in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. James Allen [LoC 505] (1864-1912) English genius, writer

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein [LoC 499] (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel Prize laureate

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) Austrian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, neurologist, Nazi death camp survivor, meaning researcher, founder of logotherapy

The final barrier to the vision of God is your God concept. You miss God because you think you know. The highest knowledge of God is to know God as unknowable. All revelations, however divine, are never any more than a finger pointing at the moon. As we say in the East, 'When the sage points to the moon, all the idiot sees is the finger'. Anthony de Mello SJ (1931-1987) Indian Catholic Jesuit priest, psychotherapist, spiritual leader

Just take the first step. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) US American clergyman, activist, leader of the African American civil rights movement

I slept and dreamed that life was happiness, I awoke and saw that life was service. I served and I saw that service was happiness. Rabindranath Tagore [BW 475] (1861-1941) Indian Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter, playwright, Nobel Prize laureate for Literature, 1913

We physicians desperately need to restore our sense of the visionary, to fight to keep the spirit of medicine alive. And the future of that spirit lies in the integration of technological advances with intuition, the wedding of heart and mind. Dr. Judith Orloff, M.D., Ph.D. DrJudithOrloff.com, US American assistant professor of psychiatry, UCLA, dying companion, author, lecturer

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. William Shakespeare [LoC 465] (1564-1616) English dramatist, playwright, lyricist, actor, The Tempest, 4th act, 1st scene – Analysis by Associatedcontent.com

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) US American author, poet, historian, philosopher, naturalist, leading transcendentalist, abolitionist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor

Walden, Ticknor and Fields, Boston, 1854

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) US American author, poet, historian, philosopher, leading transcendentalist, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor

We are now in a new economy where wealth consists of energy – the metaphysical and the physical – and there is enough for everybody. Buckminster Fuller [LoC 445] (1895-1983) US American engineer, systems theorist, architect, constructor, designer, inventor, futurist, philosopher, author

Every specific political decision needs to be made within the context of whether it advances or impedes this urgent survival necessity. Michael Lerner (*1943) US American rabby, visionary political activist, editor of Tikkun, progressive Jewish interfaith magazine, author

We are pushed by pain until we are pulled by vision. Michael Beckwith, conversed US American preacher, ordained minister in Religious Science in 1985, author, founder of the New Thought church Agape International Spiritual Center, Culver City, California

Having begun my own journey of unfolding into the best version of myself in the company of like-minded people, I continue to travel and publish extensively on how the wisdom ways of ancient and indigenous cultural traditions are the pivotal models for taking us through the transition into a new beholding self and cosmos: a deep gnosis of universal wholeness and a daily praxis of awakened or spiritual civility.
I have called this fundamental shift into the next macrovision of reality, the Great Reconciliation because it fully builds upon four formative human wisdom visions, which still subtly inform our individual and collective lives through symbols, expressive arts and vestiges of tradition, but to which we are currently collectively oblivious. These range from

1.	the life-affirming world visions	of the Stone Ages
2.	to the gnosis visions of Hermetic Egypt and the European Renaissance	in parallel with the triumphs of Tantric Buddhism
3.	to the Indigenous Vision underlying the life and thought	of contemporary Native Peoples
4.	to the Quantum Vision	now fueling the recalibration of our deepest thoughts, as we stand on the brink of this great macroshift into
5.	a "Fifth Wisdom Vision of Sacred Wholeness and Awakened Civility".

Peter Gold, US American tibetologist, anthropologist, professor of anthropology, California Institute of Integral Studies, research associate at the Laboratory of Anthropology, Museum of New Mexico, director of the Ancient Ways Project, author of four books on Tibetan culture, practitioner of Tibet's Buddhist philosophy and musical traditions

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. Arundhati Roy (*1961) Indian novelist

You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down. Toni Morrison (*1931) US American professor, novelist, poet, editor, Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winner, Song of Solomon

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. Gloria Steinem (*1934) leading US American feminist, writer, journalist, visionary activist

The power of our vision and expectation flows out from us as a constant prayer. This power is stronger than anyone now knows, and we must master it and begin to use it before it is too late. James Redfield (*1950) popular US American bestseller novelist, lecturer, screenwriter, film producer, The Secret of Shambhala

We are explorers and the most compelling frontier of our time is human consciousness. Our quest is the integration of science and spirituality, a vision that reminds us of our connectedness to the inner self, to each other, and to the Earth. Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D., Apollo 14 astronaut

You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’ George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish dramatist, politician, satirist, pacifist, Back to Methuselah, part 1, act 1, 1921

Using well-developed dialoguing and visioning processes involving the entire community, people could develop new ways to organize themselves with community-supported agriculture, barter and alternative currencies, solar and wind energy, holistic and complementary medicine, and co-ops of all kinds. Corinne McLaughlin (*1947) US American author, educator, Gordon Davidson, Utne Reader; cited in: Ideas & Trends; For Y2K Utopians, a Chance to Remake the System, 14. February 1999

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. Jonathon Swift (1607-1702) Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, cleric, Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin

The great synthesizer who alters the outlook of a generation, who suddenly produces a kaleidoscopic change in our vision of the world, is apt to be the most envied, feared, and hated man among his contemporaries. Almost by instinct they feel in him the seed of a new order; they sense, even as they anathematize him, the passing away of the sane, substantial world they have long inhabited. Such a man is a kind of lens or gathering point through which thought gathers, is reorganized, and radiates outward again in new forms. Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) US American anthropologist, science writer, ecologist, poet, 1973

We will go to Mars in due course. I have no doubt about that. When we go to Mars and look back at this tiny little planet we call Earth it'll sounds kind of foolish to say, I came from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Israel. No, I came from Earth. And we're not ready to do that yet. We don't have our act together yet. Edgar Mitchell Sc.D. (*1930) US American Apollo 14 astronaut, 6th man walking the moon, founder of IONs; cited in TV interview Legends and Legacies, presented by TV station WPBF, host Lisa Hayward, YouTube film, minute 3:21, 4:14 minutes duration, aired 2006 or earlier, posted 10.

Those that are most asleep think they are most awake, being under the power of very vivid and fixed dream visions, so that those who are most ignorant think they know most. Theodotus of Byzantium (late 2nd century) early Christian writer from Byzantium, accused of heresy

Then, what of the American dream? Is it a vision or an illusion? [...] To think well and truly about this question, we need to relate it to the deepest inner questions that mankind can ask. Jacob Needleman, Ph.D. jacobneedleman.com (*1934) US American professor of philosophy and religion, UCSF, Two Dreams of America

[US] America is not a tribal, ethnic, or racial identity. It is a philosophical identity, composed of ideas of freedom, liberty, independent thought, independent conscience, self-reliance, hard work, justice. This is both the weakness and the strength of America. To love America is to love the future. Jacob Needleman, Ph.D. jacobneedleman.com (*1934) US American professor of philosophy and religion, UCSF, What Is God?, Tarcher, 24. December 2009, Film trailer, YouTube clip, audio comment presented by InspiredbyAmerica.com

A culture dies when its dream becomes lost, when the march of history crushes its dream in the dust of time. Michael Meade Mosaicvoices.org, US American storyteller, mythologist, ritualist, spokesman in the Men's Movement, author of The Water of Life. Initiation and The Tempering of the Soul

Most everything wortwhile is born of some dreamer's dream. Herbert Austin, 1st Baron Austin of Longbridge KBE (1866-1941) English Australian engineer, automobile designer, founder of the Austin Motor Company

Don't give up your dream

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying,

"I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses.
As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track."

Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.
Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read,

‘See me after class.’

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,

"Why did I receive an F?"

The teacher said,

‘this is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a traveling family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’

Then the teacher added,

'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said,

'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all, he stated,

"You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream."

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said,

"I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."

He added,

"The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought thirty kids to camp out on my ranch for a week."

When the teacher was leaving, he said,

"Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours."

Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul ||

My goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people, too. Monty Roberts
