🧙‍♂️🌸 Interview with Michael aka Lir Elhan 🌻💫

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ PART III

11: What was your favourite class in high school and why? Did
you dread exams to get good grades?

I really liked geography, biology and PE. I was very introverted
and dominated by anxiety, the first three decades of my life...

12: Do you have children? And what do you think about children
in the PPG? Do you think we make mistakes or do you think there are
not so many differences to other members?

I have a son, but of course he is now an adult himself...
I don't advice no more ... when ever possible.... 🙂

Because of the many backgrounds, the younger generation
in particular felt drawn to me. I'm very happy about that. It
has also been confirmed time and again that these younger
generations are obviously superior to the older ones in
terms of penitence. I think that's quite natural. I would have
liked the older ones to see it as their task to set a good exam-
ple for the younger ones and to provide advice and support
... instead of putting themselves in the foreground.

13: You once gave me a tip that it's important to slow down.
Can you perhaps explain that in a little more detail?

Well, today we assume that it's important to do everything
quickly. We live in turbulent times. My experience teaches
me that it's better to stay in (the) 'silence' and act out of it.
We do a lot of 'things', but that's not inevitably 'better'...

14: Will you continue to read the forum when you leave PPG?
And will you stay in touch with some members?

Probably not ... but, I like to keep in touch with some
members. Time will tell...

15: If you can give someone one big tip, what tip would you give them?

To prioritise the spiritual-focused life and live every
second as if it would be the last...

Dear Yue,

I am a little overwhelmed by the interview.

There have always been "great teachers" and
there were a lot of questions of their apprentices.
But only those who ask innocently and listen with
their heart get the answers.
Thank you for doing this interview with Michael,
so we have the chance to take part.

There might be some other members who join in
and ask a question without assuming to know
the answer already.

Thanks to both of you
I am looking forward to Part IV, V, VI, VII......

🙂

Christine

Yue will become an excellent journalist☺️

Thank you Christine and Pennarossa for your nice messages! But now I look like a red tomato because of the nice words!! 😊😊🍅

I also hope that other members who like to ask a question feel welcome to do that. ❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ PART IV

16: You responded to my post about the Buddha and the
arrows (they turn into flowers). What is your favourite story
about the Buddha?

Yes, I had written my reaction and the 'favourite story' is
already given with my answer to question 15... 🙂

17: What is your biggest dream for your life now?

To be able to help every person I meet. I like to
build a Center for Spiritual Education.

18: Do you believe in dreams and that they have a
meaning or say something about the future?

Dreams are often the language of the subconscious, with those
areas that are already accessible to us. Cosmic Consciousness,
God-Consciousness and Unity-Consciousness are, however,
'more important'.

19: What was the biggest change in your life? Was it a nice change?

All turning points in my life have been accompanied by
intense experiences ... in all directions. 'Beautiful' is far too
often overrated. The biggest change was not just a single
experience, but a series of them. The awakening to Self-
Awareness eclipses everything...

This was the last part of the interview I did with Michael. I can make new interview parts very easy because I have a lot of other questions I want to ask Michael. 🙂 😛 But I think maybe it is nicer if other people first have a possibility to ask questions and I wait for that. And I dont know if Michael wants to answer more questions from me because I already asked a lot from him!! 😸😸

Michael is for me one of the most important members on PPG and I am still very sad that he goes away next month. But I am very happy that he took the time to answer so many questions and that he gave very nice answers!! Thank you very much for everything!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ PART V

20: Do you think the future of the world looks bad because
of climate change and artificial intelligence (e.g. that the climate
is changing a lot and that artificial intelligence is becoming the
enemy of humans)?

I see two highly probable future variants:

Well, I would love to listen to 'Arabian_Princess' to know,
what she is thinking & feeling now ... after months.

Arabian princess?🤔

This was the last part of the interview with Michael!!! 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️ 😊 First when I asked Michael if I can do maybe an interview I was not sure if he would say yes. But I am very happy he really spend a lot of time to give nice answers!! 🌞🌞🌞 But the interview is not really over because everybody who wants to ask a question can post it below! 🙏🙏

In the final part Michael suggested to interview Arabian Princess, but I dont know if she wants that and I dont have contact details. So Michael suggested another person too and that person said yes! 😛 And I am not going to tell who yet. But that is very difficult like with Etienne and Michael! 😃

If people like to read interviews with members i will post more often. Because it is maybe a nice way to know more about others here on PPG. ❣️❣️

But THIS is Michael's forum and I think it is nice if we keep this page for Michael forever here!!! So if I forgot to ask some questions, you can do that here below!! 🥰🥰

🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸✨✨🌸🌸

Thank you very much Michael that is very kind and nice! 🥰🥰 And you can always come back on PPG if you want to and make a new account. I think everybody would be very happy with that! 😛

Maybe @Etienne can keep this forum forever as long as we have PPG! ❤️❤️

@Yue_ you should now be able to revive this topic

_____________________________________________________Back on PPG-Board______________

Hello Yue


Now I get the chance to thank you officialy for your doing
and write a few words myself. You did quite a job and I
know you loved it, but ... her it is:

THANK YOU
michael


P.S. ...thank you Etienne, for keeping this possibility for all of us alive 🙂

Merci beaucoup monsieur @Etienne!! J'aime que je peut continuer l'interview plus. Et ca c'est

très bon!! 🙂 (Sorry i did not use Google translate but if i made multiple mistakes maybe i should

do that next time!! 😛 😛 )

I asked Michael when he came back on PPG if i could continue the interview and he said yes!! 🙂

So here are the questions i asked and the answers he gave. And if ANYBODY has questions for

Michael or would like to write smt you can do that below!! Thank you very much!!!!! 🙏🥰🥰

PART VI

1️⃣ You're back at PPG now! 🙂 What are the biggest differences?

I've only been here a few hours, but there are actually quite a few changes.

I think I brought the biggest one with me. I've changed a lot in the last few

months. PPG and its members seem even more peaceful to me...

2️⃣ Who do you most enjoy talking to and who would you most like to be friends with at PPG?

With Yue and Yue ... and Yue... 🙂

Well, I'll leave that up to the universe, Yue. BUT ... I love people

who are willing to reveal something about themselves.

3️⃣ What did you do when you weren't at PPG? Did you write your books?

Yes, I wrote another book. “Path to Silence”. It's a collection of statements I've made

over the decades. It's my first book written entirely in English. It's in a 'quiet phase'

and will be proofread soon.

4️⃣ If you could choose ONE quote as your favourite, which one would it be?

Impossible to answer. There are just too many great quotes...

5️⃣ Do you like the nickname Gandalf that you got on PPG? Are you like Gandalf or completely different?

People have given me worse names... 🙂

Gandalf is okay, but Michael is my name. Are we alike? No, I don't think so.

But we are working for the same 'thing' ... PEACEFUL LIVING...

6️⃣ What are your plans now?

Well, for one thing, I'm looking forward to meeting a few more interesting people.

Presenting some of my stories and photographs will also be interesting. I've

already had the opportunity to answer some very interesting questions, and

reviving old friendships seems very promising to me...

Thank you very much, Yue

Sometimes an image talks louder then words...

True artists have never cared about fame or payment. They were, and I
would argue still are, like 'eagles'. They use the laws of the universe,
spread their 'wings' in the wind and let their destiny carry them.


THANK YOU
michael

Can you maybe explain about your name @Lir_Elhan and the meaning for you?

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Today I fond by co-incidence a data-base about 'Elhan'.
He is well known in Budhism too, I DID NOT KNOW!
And it fits the profile... 🙂


Example sentences of Elhan from a Buddhist perspective

1) Elhan sought enlightenment at the remote monastery nestled high in the Himalayas, meditating daily....

2) Elhan, focus on your breath and let go of all attachments, embracing the path of mindfulness....

3) Elhan learned about the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path from the visiting Tibetan lama....

4) Following the teachings of Buddha, Elhan strives to alleviate suffering and cultivate compassion for all beings....

5) Elhan found peace practicing Vipassana Meditation in a silent retreat near Bodh Gaya, India....

I just googled and it said that Elhan is a Turkish name and that it is BOTH for male and female.

But i like it is strong in Buddhism what u wrote. But even we are Buddhist in our family, I did not hear of the name at all in that way. Did u know abt the meaning before u took the name? 🙄🙄

...it is strong in Buddhism what you wrote.

I did not, YUE. I was quoting the Data-Base

______________________________________________________________________________________

Lir is of Celtic-Irish origin, and
Elhan is more common in the Middle East.

Both names probably go back a long way in time, originating in the
Persian Gulf during the Mesopotamian Period. They came 7.000
years ago and landed north-west of Irish Island. The Celts are Sumer
in origin.


The name was given to me by the Druids, and I immediately felt a
connection. But no, I knew nothing about these names and had
never heard either of them before.

Totally funny: when I was teased about the 'topic-we-don't-discuss'
in my post, I was still out on my bike. On my ride through our small
towns, a car with a Lindau number plate came towards me. LI - for
Lindau and R as the letter before the number... Its good to be friend
with the angels.... 🙂

The last great Celtic centre was 30 minutes away from me on Lake Constance.

The more I find out about this name, the more I know that it is my name, YUE.
