Tufanja:

And how can someone be sure the direction is not a form of misguiding own hallucination?
Yes the possibility exists to mistake personal hallucination for divine revelation. But no one learns to make the difference without making some mistake at first.

One of the issue with us, is we are too afraid of making mistakes. But it is impossible to learn without making some mistakes. In our heart exists an antennae that helps us separate the divine from the carnal. But that antennae some calls intuition, has been so neglected that it is malfunctioning. The only way to make it function again properly, is using it. Yes, it implies making some mistakes at first, but gradually we shall make less and less.

In addition, reflecting and meditating must always be made within the context of Love and Justice. Therefore if I receive anything that contradicts love or justice, I immediately cast is aside. It can not be divine.

So I repeat again, it is my opinion that men should make choices in life. They may ask for (divine)help, they should ponder and reflect, but at the end of the day, they must make their own decision and bear the corresponding responsibilities. That way, they learn, they grow, if they want to.



On a side note, unfortunately, my health problem is more structural so its gonna take some time to examine and to find causes/solutions. I am referred to other specialist for that. But for as long as I can finish what I came to do here in this country, I dont wanna complain. If I don't know how to survive, you as my old neighbour should come and rescue me here ;-)!
grin ok. I'm willing to come and help if need be. Or maybe to visit, why not? We can arrange that.

Oh dear, didn't we survive hotter fires than this one? kiss

How can the armor of a knight (I wont define which type of knight, I am colorblind tongue) be bothered by a mosquito in the room?

Wish you a happy weekend, although I don't really know what makes you happy, but if there is anything I can do you will tell me (just that you know that I cant make Arsenal win, thats out of the reach of my magic powers ;-).


Thanks a lot. I'm happy for you and this your thread.

I'm leaving now. Enjoy. kiss

Seems we share a lot of ideas, thanks for letting us know a bit of you.

For sure it is always nice to have a meet and greet with interesting people, one doesnt need to be first sick for that ;-). Maybe I should invite you on my graduation, which will be God-willing, happen begin summertime and if it is delayed, I will call it my come-back from abroad gathering :-). I was thinking about just a small gathering with interesting friends, a summernight bbq in the village, with campfire, some guitar play and a lot of time for good conversations. I don't know where exactly you live in Germany but it might be pretty close to one of the places where I live across the border.

Ah great, see, you are just less than a 3 hour away from where I used to be based.

I am okay, just a bit tired because of some dude calling me in the mid of the night with no proper reason. Normally my phone is off but I felt asleep this time without switching off. Tried to escape the talk but it kept going and going and afterwards I cldnt sleep anymore. I am now about the rush to attend a guestreading at the university. The afternoon is still open for adventures so ask me tonight smiley. Hows your side? Any active plans?

You should plan something explorative next sunday ;-). So your cousin is african and knows how to cook african dishes? That's nice. I really like west african food. Today one of the nigerian guys promised to invite us next time to taste his egusi soup.

After my morning lecture at the faculty of health I went to meet up with friends in town to have a drink and after that I went with two guys climbing uphill to visit the local castle and afterwards to have diner in a restaurant. It was quite fun! Especially mingling with people from different nationalities and background.

The chap of the late night phonecall is another piece of cake, a long weird story, one that strong that it seems right out of a strange novel, more a story for at the campfire. Anyhow, he is an irrelevant sidenote in my life, just that he calls one's in a blue moon, only God knows why.

I too am of african origin. I just happened to have left africa quite young.

But in 2009 I made a break in my studies, and I went to live in villages in africa during 3 years. It was a great experience, but also very painful. Painful because, I lost almost all, money fame and friends who could not understand why I decided to fly back to africa and live in villages. I also lost my studies, and they asked me to start all over again.

But it was a great experience. The blessings I got from there exceed faaaaaar more whatever I lost. And I know what I lost, in order to find my way, my roots, and true spirituality, I will recover it, soon or later.

Ermmm Exploration? I am the guy that always stays at home. I think, I dream, I meditate, I learn, but I do not go out, except when necessary. Or when I want to show love to someone smiley.

Great day to you Tufanja cheesy. I wish you all that is purest and noblest. wink

Wow, I really appreciate your choice and courage to get out of your comfortzone and explore your roots. Sometimes we need to lose in life to more fundamentally win. Be proud of you :-)

Somehow I feel and can relate to the home-mood, the thinking, the dreaming. But adventure, exploring and associating with the world around you by times is necessary to feed the soul in some other ways.

What did you learn most from you stay in the village?

Tufanja:

Thank you tufanja for the encouragement.

It would be very long to relate all I went through and all I learnt. And some of those things can't be described with words... grin
I intend to write a book on the topic in my old age, as a testimony, since some of those things are to be kept secret until I'm about to die.

Well, briefly let's say, I learnt to be humble, loving and never to judge others. Again, I saw that love is the key. I was a Pastor then, with a church and some satellites churches. I understood religion is not synonymous to Spirituality.

I also began to have visitations from spirit beings and exchange with them. And till today, I am still visited on a regular basis. Some out of Body experiences where you can visit the universe and indeed things that would be incredible to tell. People will think you are high on some weed grin

Most important is to love. Let's show love to one another.

Greetings dear Tufanja smiley

sonOfLucifer:

Thanks for asking.

Its do-able with medication (in the sense that I can continue working) but its far from ideal and not solved. They referred me with urgency to see other specialists in town for further examination, just that I forgot to make appointments today, partly because I was postphoning it because often when i call here secretaries to make appointments I get stuck with someone who doesnt speak a word english. Remind me to find a local to call for me tomorro, I seem not the best person in caring for myself. Not feeling too well at the moment, so I really need to act serious about myself.

When I am back in my country within a few months and have hopefully graduated, I need to take a serious break and find a cure for the underlying problems if i dont want my future to be hijacked by it.
