Hello everybody.
Hi
As you can see in the background, we are in Jerusalem today.
This special occasion we´d like to use for answering a question
which a good friend of us sent us some time ago.
What do you believe in?
For answering this question we spend a lot of time thinking about it.
Finally we sit together and wrote a short essay, which I´d like to read now.
Every single segment will be summarized at the end in Antjes words.
Maybe I start with that what I don´t believe....
Personally I don´t believe in any objectiv, dogmatic and man made version of god.
I´m convinced that everyone has and also should have an individual picture of god.
Truely, religion and faith communities play an important
pathbreaking and moral role in our history.
But in my eyes they become a contradition in terms
as soon as they try to claim the truth in a indefinite sea of possibilities
for themselves and don´t accept any other point of views.
Believing is jolly good but knowing we can´t that´s what I believe.
So I believe that this experience with and of god
is an individual one and that´s how it should be.
In my eyes it just matters for personal development
how you call, worship or pray for it.
Some of us call it love, others name it Allah, god, peace or light.
Some of us meditate, others pray and there are people who don´t even do anything...
That´s all fine I say! To each his or her own!
I believe in something good in us,
I believe that everyone of us , within his or her means acts as good as he or she can.
I believe in something good in us, in a higher power, god and the power of love.
I believe in something that is above our conciousness.
Being there with protecting, judging and sometimes pointing hands,
defining the rules in this indefinite play.
For me there is no doubt that life has it´s own rules and rythms.
Rythms to which we can take direct influences
and use them for our advantages or disadvantages.
For example: If you are willing to give sagrifices, you will be given.
If you love, you will be loved and if you trust, you will be trusted.
That´s why I mentioned that it just imports concerning our personal development
how we call this god or pray to him/her.
If you are generous, thankful, full of love and unselfish you will get your rewards.
But nothing, comes out of nothing.
And finally we are all humans, if big, small, tall, thin, black or white.
And everyone of us looks for good things, happiness, peace, love and harmony.
I believe that on a spiritual level we are all connected with each other
and in every moment have a direct influence to the lives of others,
conciouss or unconciouss.
Despite all distractions, within our means,
I believe in the possibility of taking control of our lives and through this,
taking part in forming this world.
I believe in the possibility of being free and thanks to this freedom
release a potential, which can move mountains.
Yes, I believe in a power which slumbers deep in everyone of us,
a power which can make impossible to possible and work miracles.
A power which we can release together in dedication and responsability.
A power with a healing impact.
I believe in the dynamic of the mass. A movement which acts for the good
being stronger that anything that opposes it.
In my opinion this counterflow is everything which doesn´t conform with human nature
And there will be no time in which evil will win to good.
Everyday we can see so much things, which give hope!
It´s quite easy to believe in a better world...
If you just leave this possibility a chance of being.
A world in which we don´t work against each other but side by side and together.
A lot is happening concerning this
and even more we can reach together!
So we believe that together we are so much stronger
So that´s what we are trying to do, personally and with our organization twotoone.
This is our way.
