OUR PHILOSOPHY

Or, what we basically need to be happy

a roof for shelter
food for your body
and love for your soul

Hexability means life!

One thing we will learn for sure when we observe nature is that nature's ecology is very flexible and very sensitive to every change in vibrations. As we can see, mankind made a big misstake by placing humans outside mother natures influences, as if we were more, placed above the whole nature.
But, in reality we ARE nature and always have been. In this age scientists discover more and more that human beings are inextricably bound up with all life, on this planet and beyond, the other planets, even the stars!
In our daily lifes we find this true: when we spend time and life with each other, we effect each others life and we learned to use our influences for the better, for eachothers sake.
For 10 years ago, Shireen and I, Christa, talked about the essence of life, we think is attention. Every living thing needs attention, it doesn't matter if you are young or old, a plant or a fish. Now attention means many things, like light, sunshine, food, room for living but of course we also think of loving, practical actions but also life itself. In fact, we give each other life, simple by looking each other in the eye we bless or ignore!

About raising children naturally

As an educator we do not believe in punishing, as you do you have to be very carefull to think of an appropriate one. For example: if you use a childrens bed as a punishment, you learn your children to love and hate it's bed. Most of the time, when they're not frustrated in their feelings, children naturally want to have close contakt, because they are depending on us. So when they act in a way we do not appreciate because it's interfering with our social liferules, it's naturally punisment enough to be separated from the social group. Learning a kid to fit in the tribal life.

About tribal life

Before the industrial period, that's more than 400 ears ago, people lived in smaller worlds. And before that we had the agricultural period, where a lot of people settled on a piece of land and became farmers, but also lived in small groups.
If you want to read more about this, read Topfler's "The third wave", good book!
But, surprisingly, we find ourselves still living in a tribal world, except the boundaries of the tribes today are fragmented.(fractal) For example, if you have developed a social network, as we call it today, and you would count the people you are connected with, you'll find approximately a 100 to 150 connections. And that's about the same as an average tribe!
So, in a way, we are still living in tribes, the family and friends you share your live with. We discovered that in our tribe we are the stock or attractors, we as the fairy ring; we keep it together.

About women

It is a fact that birth control with hormonal pills shallows the emotional life. You feel less of everything, and I have experienced this myself. After ten years of hormonal pills I stopped and then I noticed the difference, I felt more sex, more angriness, more happiness, my emotions became deeper.
Have you, as a woman, also this experience? Sometimes I think it would make a big difference if all those millions of women stopped with this form of birth control. What would happen then? Maybe women become more aware of their stronger feelings become more agressive and wake up.
Maybe, just maybe woman would have more fighting spirit in the western world, and instead of being a victim of thousands of years male dominance, we would take in our places, as part of the whole, with indispensable qualities. That's something we can see in the world today, it's about time women become aware of their intuitive and learning qualities. And we, here in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, we feel we are part of this spirit.

About drugs

I always wonder when somebody raises the issue in the discussion about legalizing drugs; the problem is part of the solution. Like the problem that this country (Holland) is used as a canal in drugssmuggling. And also, because this country tolerates using softdrugs, as almost the only country in the world, politicians are still surprised that tons of people visit to enjoy this freedom. When all the countries at once legalize drugs, everybody stays home and use drugs if they want to. And as side effect all the criminals have to find something else to do.
If we look at history of this planet, how it developed over the ages, there are all kinds of drugs everywhere! All around us, plants, animals and people, we all use all kinds of drugs. I wonder, where would we be without drugs?
For example, it is wellknown that our scientists, for ages and ages, used all kinds of drugs. How many ideas and solutions are connected with drugs? How many wars? Give me a name of a society, where there are no drugs? I personally think drugs are part of this planet and it's so hypocrite if any kind of government tells us what is right or wrong, not because it really is, no, they tell us this because they want to control the drug-business. Like when europe brought opium to the chinese, you see.
In the past drug-use was for some people, like religious leaders, or for healers, but right now drugs are for everybody, you better learn to deal with it, we better teach our children to deal with it, we ourselves better learn to deal with it, because drugs are here and they won't go away, but develope only more, unstoppable. Whatever politicians or police will try to control it, the truth is: they never were in control and never will be. People who want to use drugs, do it, no matter what rules they come up with. That's how it has always been, and will be.

Wishing wells

Thru the years, we saw many wishes come true. At this time, when we wish to see somebody, we do, sooner or later. We red many books about this issue, how through the time, people like the aboriginals, or indians, but also scientists, did think about wishing and dreaming.
Interesting, huh, that scientists in this age, first have to wish they see some unknown particle, before they really can see???
And what to think about psycho-analyses, where your therapist tells you; you make your own fears come true? Like maybe the christians make their armaggeddon come true. So, why not make our thoughts of joy and love come true, right?

Expressing ourselfs

We can regenerate the time by recreating it all the time.
Sacred time is a sequence of eternities.

Energy + matter + conscious: all energy is conscious.
