 March: Resonance at Play

What do you want me to talk about? What is going on so far here is simple and clear and obvious to me, but maybe not to you, so maybe I have to know from you what I could say to you to clarify things.

Participant: How do you feel here in Prague?

The same as everywhere; a little bit different each time, but basically the same. But since you ask: I have been coming here for some years and each time I come there are some people who have been before and some new people also, but this time there are more new people than I think ever before, so to come in yesterday evening and look at a group of strangers was a bit unusual for me. Other places that I go, the number of new people is usually ten or twenty percent, but here it is nearly sixty or seventy percent, which is unusual. But by the end of the evening there are no strangers anymore; I might still be a bit strange for you, but you are not strange for me.

After going around as I did yesterday evening and making some kind of contact of some sort with everybody, I felt that I knew you all a bit, so you were not strangers anymore. I did not ask you anything about yourselves: ”What’s your name? What’s your job? Have you got any children? How’s your mother?” This is the way in our society that we get to know people, but my way is quite different.

There is a level where human beings are all connected, and there’s a level where any two people meet that they have in common. If one of those two people can go to that level which they share, then the other person will also be to some extent be in that place through the process of resonance.

Because we are all made more or less the same, resonance is a phenomenon that is bound to happen: somebody that you know quite well starts to cry, then even if you do not cry you will have feelings coming up; maybe tears will come to your eyes; that is also resonance. It happens in war time when soldiers get violent: people who would normally not be violent become violent. It happens in mobs when whole situations of aggression are created by a certain number of people, and then people who normally would not carry out such acts get triggered or start resonating and then something in them joins in. If you walk into a room where everybody is silent, even if you are not feeling silent, in a moment or two you will also feel silent. These are all examples of the process of resonance.

What happens in the seminars is that I connect with a certain universal level that is timeless and that has been around since the beginning, and since you have also been around since the beginning, even though you may not be conscious of it, then that reality is also in you. When I vibrate at that level, then your level will respond by vibrating to some extent, and then we are relating to each other; which is the same everywhere.

So how do I feel in Prague? The same.

When I first came here ten or twelve years ago, or even longer I think it was, the food was different. The wine was different, but now it is the same. I am sure different ones are available, but the restaurants I am taken too, could be anywhere. So the whole country is growing more like everybody else in Europe; maybe that is another example of resonance. Before you were resonating with the Russians; you had to do so to some extent. This thing happens that groups of countries that are connected someway, through religion like in the Middle-East – they are all connected with the Islam – then they all start functioning and thinking and behaving and eating in the same way, which is resonance too.

But the difference between all those resonances and the resonance here is that the resonance here is an ultimate resonance. If you can experience yourself to be in that place, then you can connect with anybody in the world anywhere.

The work I do makes that a basis. It is like leaving your world behind and finding that which is common to all worlds and from there living in your own world again, but you will not be captured by your local world; you will not be limited to what happens in your own world and the values, belief systems and principles of that local world. I have come to see that you cannot really properly live in the physical world unless you come from the invisible world.

The physical world is just a play of energy that comes from the invisible world. It is no longer the principle thing, so you are no longer a prisoner of it.

Anybody else want to say something?

Participant: I am here for the first time, and if I understood well, we should be released from our local world and live from these energies of this invisible world. Is this the goal of the seminar?

I do not expect it to happen, so I cannot say it is a goal. I do not expect anything from you, especially as it is your first time. I do not expect anything from anybody. For the people who come here regularly, I have some hopes for, but no expectations. What I can do is to work from the place I am talking about and hope that it affects everybody in some positive way even if it does not result in the ultimate goal. I think that is the most I can hope for or expect. So relax, I am not putting any pressure on you at all.

I cannot do what I have been doing so far here on the aeroplane, I cannot do it at the airport, I cannot do it at the supermarket, I cannot do it in the streets of Freiburg. But I can do it here. So I am happy to come. There seems to be some effect of what I have found is to be the truth of life, some movement and transference to others. But in circumstances outside my seminars, the effect I have on others is very tiny, if not non-existent. That is why I do so many seminars every year. They are the only situation where I can really practise what I believe is what I have to do in life, not the only thing, but the most important thing; I am not a workaholic, but I like to share this place.

Participant: Do you think seminars are enough to get to this goal or is something else needed to reach it?

Well, Shimuza, you really have to do something every moment, but what you have to do often you do not know, so going to seminars can remind you of what you have to do to make it happen in you, but to make it flower in you, then seminars are not enough. There are many people who come to many seminars with me; it is not only the fact that by doing that they get connected more often than people who come once a year, but also the more that they find something they long for in the groups, the more they are using their time on their own to also do whatever they can to reach that.

I know from over thirty years of working all over the world that it is very easy for people to entirely forget what goes on with them in the seminars, not just half forget, three quarters forget, nine-tenths forget but to totally forget. Because when they leave the seminar, even if in the seminar something great was happening to them, and they thought: ”Aha, this is great. I feel great”, in their lives, they not only forget what it was that was great, but they leave behind that part of them that said in the seminar: ”It was great.”

With people who come regularly, then that happens less and less and that means that the part of them that has seen and experienced and touched something in the seminar lives on in their ordinary life and reminds them that: ”Let’s sit quietly, close my eyes, see if I can tune in again to that experience I had in the seminar.”

Participant: How did you find a way to this place? What was your way?

Blindly at first and then suddenly it was there. It is always there in all of us, otherwise you could not resonate, so that proves it is always there. As far as I am concerned there was not one person in this group last night that did not resonate at least a little bit with the invisible world, which means that it is in everybody, but we are turned in other directions.

What came to me, apart from the eternal presence, was a relationship with subtle energies. All energies are invisible and they manifest in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but subtle energies do not manifest in the invisible world; so, to suddenly find myself experiencing subtle energies and to see the effect they had on me and the other people around me introduced me to the non-physical world. In experiencing those subtle areas of reality I found myself arriving at some free states of reality which were independent of any influences at all, except the influence of existence itself.

I would say that is a goal for everybody: to find your natural base of existence in the world. But you cannot find that coming from the visible because when you are in the visible you are captured by the forms and shapes of the visible. It is like a fish in the sea that is all the time searching for food and companionship and for excitement, and it is so concerned with that that it does not experience itself as actually being in the sea. This ultimate goal is rather like that: to find yourself in existence in just the way that a fish might find itself in the sea and then from there you can do anything you have done before and many things you have never done before. But that is your basis, your nature, and it is very ordinary and it is very special.

Participant: It is nice to listen to that, but I am the type of person who doubts and only think that what I feel is insecurity and not being sure.

I do not expect that just by talking about it that it will suddenly transform into a reality for you. All I can say is that you feel insecure and I do not, and if you like to feel insecure then do not take any notice of me. If you think that it is impossible not to feel insecure, then you will be suspicious of what I say. But if you can see that I have a security in myself that you do not have, then it will maybe give you the belief or the trust that you can also have it, and if you feel that then you do not feel that your insecurity is inescapable; so, I can give you hope. It is not inevitable for the rest of your life that you will feel insecure.

Participant: Because of the hope, the hope is fine.

The hope is a start, but you have to move from hope to belief to trust to realisation, but right up to realisation you can doubt. So I give you security. It is not so ridiculous when I say that I give you security because when I do that I feel my own security and I send it down my arm, and you are the same as me, so you pick it up and you resonate with that and then for a moment you will feel secure. So if you ask for love or bliss, it is okay; for a few seconds I can help you to feel that which you desire, but as soon as I look away it will be gone. But if you experience it even for instance then you know that it is possible because if it happens once in you then you know that it must be potentially available in you.

Participant: How many wives have you had? Not wives, lovers.

That’s a secret.

Participant: You are still counting!

Well, many, and I do not regret any of them. I only regret the ones that got away; the ones that I wanted to and did not, that I regret, but the ones that I managed I do not regret. It was simply part of my way, but even when I arrived it still seemed to be part of my way. I thought that all the relationships I was having were part of my personal way of reaching the goal, but when I reached the goal it was the same. It must be just my nature.
