suspicious?
Let's Talk About 'Unfounded Suspicion' I have a classy problem which is too many patterns to pick from and then to work on. In last year's November retreat we’ve been diving deep into two fundamental patterns of the consciousness, the Pattern of Unfounded Suspicion and Negativity. Having 10 fundamental patterns and 20 behavioral patterns is a whole lot of 'patterns’' considering that these are the ones in Yuan Qigong Life Cultivation we focus on. There are of course thousands of thousands of...

This is going to sound hokey but stick with me: I have a secret for change. It’s one of the biggest secrets in Life Cultivation (if there are any at all). I don’t hear anyone talking about it much, or coming close to revealing it, not even from lips loosened with wine or champagne 🍷🍸. For serious. RU READY???? . . . I’m about to say it, so you’d better stop scrolling right now if you don’t like to hear it ;) . . . Okay, here goes. This is going to light your brain on fire so be ready. . . ....

Welcome to Throwforward (Un)Reality 🙃 I’m sharing stories from my chronicles, of the highs and lows of running an enterprise with the crooked game in my kingdom. Scroll down for a breakdown of why I chose to share this story, and the relevance to it now. The One Where Mirjam Gets Conjured By Her Alternate Version. Chronicle Date: April 12, 1991(10th year of life) So I’m conjured again by an alternate version of Me. I called her the Wicked Witch of M (basically inspired by the Wicked Witch of...

Hey, Reader. I’ve written a whole bunch about the shadow kingdom, about positive vs negative, but most importantly about the deep impacts of the crooked game. You should not be scared, but you should also not pretend it does not exist or has nothing to do with you. Paying attention to the not so light side of your kingdom is like eating your vegetables. It’s the prerequisite of changing unhealthy patterns and habits and you’ll learn to value it eventually, even if you may still prefer ketchup...

Dream with me for a second, Reader. Outside your room is the most beautiful scene—nature in all its glory. You see a chair, greeted by the green foliage everywhere, the sweet silence of nature where you can hear the leaves of the trees caressed by the wind, the colours and the morning chirping of the birds. A serene and peaceful humming beckons you to come, to come outside. You feel a smile on your face, you know, you need not look any further because, there, you are at home… You want to go...

I converted to life cultivation🤦🏻♀️ As you can see, my three antennas are in standby mode for transmission to Mars. Hell hath no fury like a Science Western Culture Educated Man trying to transfer to a Wisdom Life Cultivation Practitioner of a foreign culture. The outer-space ordeal is still lasting. Awkwardly, I disagreed with an opinion and an inner voice appeared telling me, "You failed at your education". Back to the contradictory garden of disagreement and accordance. 🏃 But there’s...

Last week I told myself, "I'm going to write a little less about teeth grinding topics, and I'll make this a shorter one". But after a dream, and working intensely on a specific pattern, all I wanted to do was writing you. I take full responsibility for any grinding activities 😉. DISCLAIMER: I had a dream, actually it was just an image. You will not regret knowing more about this unique piece. I loved you more than any human being and if you died the thing I would miss the most would be you...

Do you want a present? Generally we love presents 🎁 But the question is all wrong. Because one certain present can cause everything to crumble. A better question is, "How do you want a present?" Like, those presents that are all fueled by "As long as I like it.""It should make me feel excited and happy.""If it is all I wanted." That is it. These are the presents we all live for, like "life has never been better". It is probably not unfair to say many people bypass presents that are given to...

"Sometimes I feel mildly frustrated when I hear her complaining again, especially when I am sweating my balls off to make things work. She’s blaming again. Things could be better, they could’ve done this and that, I could’ve done this and that…" All your attention goes to that. "Honestly at some point I was hoping she would stop complaining, blaming, and bossing around. I thought we do this collaboratively?" As time went on your hope gradually turned into annoyance. "She should be more...

Hey, I hope you haven't freaked yet that your shadow self hasn’t vanished during the holidays. What about 2024 being a good year to continue on the path of developing and uplifting life? For that, 'gates' of life are fundamentally something to pay attention to. 'Going through the gate' is a traditional term in Chinese wisdom culture used to describe the situation when cultivation of life is at a point where there is a big hurdle to go over or a major obstacle to be overcome to get to a...
