Satsang
Unraveling the Truth at the Silent Easter Retreat with John David
Retreats are a place where people from all directions come together, approaching the center, which is Truth. The air is filled with a potential. A strong energy field develops in which a metamorphosis becomes possible.
A special moment in this Retreat occurred when we watched the Film “Satori”, a documentary about an awakening, which shows also the actual happening of such a “metamorphosis” of one of the residents. While watching, one woman in the retreat also experienced a strong energetic shift.
It seems that when we get in touch with the potential of Self Realisation through Satsang, films or things we read and we allow the energy to deeply touch us, and it becomes more likely for such a shift to occur as our energy system becomes available.
Next Retreat with John David:
Vipassana • 8 – 14 May • Germany

Beehive Consciousness
Open Sky House is like a Giant Beehive. To a large extend our daily flow is one collective movement. Each Individual thereby surrenders much own ideas and desires and contributes to a larger good. Almost buzzing bees.
Bees point to a potential of collective Consciousness
Bees function in a greater scheme and serve a collective purpose of pollinating nearly all plants on planet earth.
The phenomenon of collective consciousness amongst bees highlights the need for global cooperation and collaboration when it comes to addressing environmental issues. Environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss are complex and cannot be solved by any one nation or individual. Instead, they require a collective effort from people all around the world to address them effectively.
However in order for a collective consciousness to arise and develop we need to gradually surrender our personal desires and ideas about life – currently we are way to much caught up in thinking about our small little self for anything larger to be invoked.
When we surrender and open up to a larger situation, we begin to see ourselves as interconnected with all living beings and the natural world around us. This recognition of our interconnectedness can lead to a greater sense of responsibility towards the environment, as well as a desire to work together with others towards a common goal of preserving and protecting the natural world.
Letting go of ego desires might confront us with pain or fear, however in due time can lead to a greater appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the natural world which is already here now.
