My First Yes+

It has finally started, my first Yes+ course is a reality and yesterday was the first day of the course. Tatiana is the teacher, but we're doing most of the stuff. She just jumps in when she needs to, but she's giving us the opportunity to do our thing and learn from this new experience. I really appreciate it; I don't think many other teachers would've given us so much freedom, but this is exactly what - just to speak for myself - I need to grow.
At times I must admit I kind of lost the overview; you see all this stuff happening and it's not easy to both enjoy the process and keep overview on the situation as a whole at the same time.
However, this is simply part of the learning process, for us this is just as much a new experience as for the participants. I could say that we teachers ourselves are just as much participant actually.

It's great to see this event from the other angle. The funny thing is that I've only done my first seminar half a year ago and now I'm teaching one; it's surreal in a way, but that makes it very cool! I feel natural bringing the message across, I just have to get used to the order in which things are supposed to happen. After all, you need to learn the rules in order to break them properly. And I will most certainly break them properly when I get the freedom to do so. I know what this stuff is about and I know in which fashion I want to bring the point across. Today we'll do the long kriya with them for the first time, so I'm very excited to see the results!

I can't wait to lead some of the processes that we'll be doing in the coming days. The point of all the processes in Yes+ is to create self awareness and lately I can sense this so easily with people. I would really like to confront people with their own thoughts and believes. Most important is that it's done with love and not because of ego. The self is always coming through.

When we die, we need to accept death. Else we'll live in our own illusion, lock ourselves up in a cage that excists only in our mind. It's like those stories about people who were on hallucogenic drugs and are not able to pass the obstacles that they make up in their heads. In fact, every obstacle is a concept of the mind. In reality, there are no obstacles. The word obstacle itself is nothing more than the interpretation of the mind; we qualify something as an obstacle and this will reflect back in the world that we perceive.

I like 3 scoop icecreams; it allows for a perfect cycle of taste and you can make really nice combinations. When you take 4 or more scoops, it's easy to get lost. With 1, your icecream will stay the same after the first lick. With 2, you'll switch back and forth all the time between tastes, so it's not a surprise anymore. Ofcourse, I can still remember with 3 tastes I took, but it still makes for a nice change everytime I take a bite.
In Freiburg we have alot of icecream stands, and they're all good! It's amazing. Today I took rafaello, bacio and banana. I can advice this to anymore, it's a winner! But I'll think of more righteous combinations, don't worry!
