For Michael aka Gandalf 🧙♂️
Even if u speak super softly
u can be REALLY loud.
Even if u are in the dark
it will become light again.
Being afraid or stressed or just crying is ok.
Just wait and i'll be there too.

I Love Journeys ... travelling around the world
I love PPG and that is why I am back... it is a
JOURNEY too ... for me at least.
...there are certainly several reasons, but one of the most important
was that in countries deep in the south, I was always able to adapt
quickly within a few days. I no longer looked like a 'German from
the north, and more like a North African.
This allowed me to hide well and 'slip into' a different life without
having to make any further effort and therefore was free to learn.
I was almost always accepted as a 'local' and experienced a friend-
ship towards a stranger that was unknown to me. I was invited very
often and was allowed to participate in Ramadan in Egypt or Turkey.
In my experience, peace, closeness and real connection with people
come about primarily through the heart. It is above all our intellectual
demands that cause wars and division. Isn't that what we can also
observe in a nursery school? ... It is at least what I experience here
in our little village. We jump on the trampoline together and rough-
house. Everyone is allowed to hug and chase everyone else without
jealousy. Yes, I am the only 'Old Man'... and that is exactly why the
little ones love me -- why the grannies, mums and dads at least
respect me...
Dear Michael,
I also went on a journey the last minutes here on PPG.
First I read The Grand Piano
I really love it!
It is so beautifully arranged. That`s why I write my comment here,
so that I don`t ruin the art work.
And I do hope for a fifth part coming soon!
...then I looked on your profile lir_elhan and was a little shocked
because your ladies of the last exhibition dissapeared!!
But I discovered the announcement of your new exhibition
and the words you found to describe your experiences.
It touched me deeply. I know you in real life, but you have
the gift to constantly create new atmosheres in which I
can dissolve and connect.
... I wandered a little through the latest posts and
landed again on your profile to write a nice comment.
But I discovered the new exhibition there.
I love the ocean and the beaches.
The way you catch the moment is perfect to perceive
the sound of the waves, coming and going
the transition from ocean and sky
the doing of mankind
and again dissolving.
I remember the moments we experienced the ocean together
and the day you helped me to experience the rebirth by burrying me
in the sand with only the face looking out, feeling the pulse of the earth
in total passivity. I never forget my crawling out of my sand grave
into the ocean and being one with it.
...then I finally got here
again touched by your words
and infinitly grateful for your way
to get me connected with my heart.
THANK YOU, MASTER

wonderful words...

Yes, we have reached a crossroads. Things will now move faster and faster.
We older people realise our own lives, what we have been fortunate
enough to experience and how much time we have simply let slip by.
Only when experiences reach our hearts can bring us fulfilment. We
wear a colourful veil of suppressed feelings or sentiments. We limit
our perception .... including that of nature and what happens to it
through us. We are powerful beings, we can change that.

The latter revelation also “illuminates” why offspring can often be described as “minions”. The diabolical practice of waking up parents by suddenly turning on lights - or significantly worse: forcibly opening the eyelids - is rather effective to end the tranquillity of the dark realm and start a new day of reckoning.
_________________________________________________________________LOVE is QUEEN_________
Those who walk through life with respect and openness, Practising
Compassion, do so with hearts filled with happiness. Love enables
those souls to rise above themselves.
Resentment, envy and a growing narrow-mindedness impoverish
the heart... these are the ‘fruits’ of intellectual cleverness.
................................................................................................................ 14 March 2026
Fortunately, “intellectual cleverness” also has a broad variety of positive elements to add which mere compassion simply cannot generate. In contrast to its heralded status, mere compassion also has its weaknesses which become increasingly visible on this platform.
It would be beneficial to consider compassion and the intellect as a Siamese - and not a mere diabolical - twin. Carelessly ignoring this fact can cause the descent of a queen to a servant.
In a world devoid of criticism it is convenient to cartoonishly label voices of discontent as resentment, envy or narrow mindedness instead of addressing their substance. In the real world true openness requires an element of reciprocity. This is not a mere paper exercise.
Good morning,
the last minutes I was busy handing out roses.
I am in a process of realisation and during the
last hours Savi and Michael have fueled this process.
Thank you very much
I am tempted to take positions but...
... as in a lot of situations before
I love to listen and learn.
As long as there is movement I am
very happy and believe me there is
a lot of movement inside of me.
So again
Thank You

These are the final minutes of the horseback riding class of my oldest daughter. Certainly a lot of movement here. Mentally, the process of waking up must still commence.
I love to listen and learn....
...you are, more and more, the enbodiment of my
wishes and doing in the last 30 years, Christine
Find a silent 'place' in your HEART -- STAY.
The process of Waking Up....
__________________________________________________________AWAKENING_____
True awakening takes place within consciousness....
This occurs when the Heart Chakra is fully open
and the nervous system has been cleansed of
past impressions. YES, at such a moment the
subtle energies flow into the thalamus.
The Explosion-of-Consciousness at that moment
defies all descriptions and understanding.
Thank You
P.S. That all is NOT a mental or intellectual process.
Thank you for your response. I was actually referring to the side effects of sleep deprivation - commercial practice can be relentless at times - and a limited intake of caffeine in the early morning hours.
Nevertheless, your personal perception of consciousness is respected and accepted - albeit as a personal view; not as a universal truth. On the same token of openness, I respect vastly different takes on what people believe to constitute governing dynamics. Dispelling the latter under the banner of “not being awake” or “lack of consciousness” - or any derivative or related phenomenon - would amount to disrespect and lack of openness - which you also proclaim to abdicate.
All my personal reservations as stated previously remain. I have not seen a compelling statement of a substantive nature which would urge otherwise. There are inherent positive and negative attributes of both the intellectual realm and compassion. Ignoring either will come at personal expense and peril.
In response to Christine: any roses which cannot be traced back to the final stages of the Plantagenet era are gratefully received with grace.
I went VERY early to bed (7:something...)
Thank you for your response... ...Roses are gratefully received with grace.
YES SAVI ... I THANK YOU. YOU AND YOUR VIEW ARE HIGHLY RESPECTED...!
_____________________________________________________________________Consciousness__________
All our perspectives, insights and the 'truth' to which we hold fast vary at
EVERY Level-of-Consciousness. They are like the symptoms of an illness,
indicating the depth of the underlying cause. Our statements therefore
always reflect our own Level-of-Consciousness ... already attained.
Tea or Coffee-Pause.... 🙂
An example may help to clarify MY point further: Mahatma Gandhi strove
to understand peace as a state independent of external circumstances.
His assassination does NOT describe HIS State-of-Consciousness, but that
of his murderers. Was he or his assassin wrong with his Peace-Concept?
Another example: The intellectual depth and the knowledge required
to build an atomic bomb are beyond my capabilities. Nor can I even
begin to imagine the suffering of the Japanese people. My statements
regarding the realised State-of-Consciousness may, under certain
circumstances, be equally ‘difficult to comprehend’.
The violence realised in my example with the 'atomic bomb' does not
relate to the knowledge required to build it, but to the fact that it was
dropped. It does descrive the absence of compassion. Compassion
was NOT the driving force in this example. Rather, it was fear and
'cunning', and the absence of the same. Doubble just to be sure.... 🙂
In this example, I am counting on YOU to focus your attention on
the explosion of consciousness (Hiroshima) and not on the fact
that it was possible to build that monster.
Tea or Coffee-Pause....with a sweet snack 🙂
Not only have I experienced what I am talking about, but through
my decades of work in the field of adult education, I have also
been able to observe it first-hand in my own environment. That
is why my perspective and the associated statements naturally
differ from the ‘accepted’ concepts.
AND AGAIN: Even the knowledge to build the bomb and the
experience dropping it are two different 'things'.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
UNIVERSAL VALIDITY would presuppose that all those involved are
able to access the described State-of-realised-Consciousness.
We both are no fools and know, that is by far not the case.... YET.

LOVE and LIGHT

It seems that any efforts to engage in a meaningful discussion are entirely in vain. You continuously evade any substantive points of contention by resorting to a remotely related and incessant monologue of what you personally believe to be governing dynamics of consciousness - as previously pointed out in a legitimate manner by other members of this Penpal site, including a German member (Laura) and an Italian member (Pennarossa) this personal view is unlikely to resonate with the vast majority of others on this site.
Entertaining divergent personal views and maintaining a personal belief system of any nature is of course fine. However, imposing one’s personal beliefs in a flooding and unsolicited manner is not the most convincing way to persuade an audience.
It would be beneficial if you could deal with voices of discontent in a bona fide manner. Entirely evading the substance by persisting a sole focus from the perspective of one’s personal belief system is not “openness” which you proclaim to pursue. Furthermore, repeatedly attempting to discredit dissenting parties with insinuations of “narrow mindedness”, “envy”, “resentment” and similar terms is both inappropriate and in this particular case an inversion of the truth - to put it mildly. An apology would be graceful - albeit unlikely to be received by such voices in the past. For Laura this will provide no reprieve as she has deactivated her account.
For maintaining the integrity of the forum feature on this penpal site I will cease this “conversation”. Do let me know when you have found the willingness and capacity to genuinely “discuss” the matter on its actual merits.
_____________________________________________________________________BARBECUE__________
To all those who are closely following the process that has been set in
motion: We are in the process of gaining a deeper understanding of
the various perspectives. We are learning, and I will also go into the
points raised in a little more detail.
Rarely are dishes eaten as hot as they are served.
One thing is certain: We are not going hungry...
Thank You
