The Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert talk about the two "hungers". There is the Great Hunger and there is the Little Hunger. The Little Hunger wants food for the belly; but the Great Hunger, the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning.

Since I was young I was always looking for knowledge. The more knowledge I would get the better I would understand. To get this knowledge I would read books, books and books and finally study philosophy at the university.

Gaining knowledge has been very important in my life till recently, but during my quest for knowledge I did find out the difference between knowledge and truth. I found out knowledge, which is based on thinking or in other words mental concepts is limited and never able to fully meet what is called truth.

In every healthy human being you find two personalities. Those two personalities are the representations of your left and right brain hemisphere. In the left we find our ego and in the right we find our what I call Self.

This morning I read an article about technology trends that will change the World by Bernard Marr. Yesterday, Jan Terlouw spoke about the "Robotizing" of our society at DWDD. Technology seems to be really exponentially growing as an influencer of our daily lives.

One day I heard that every person on this planet is connected within 7 steps from each other. I do not know if that is true. What I do believe is that we are moving towards a "Network Economy". An economy based on mutuality, based on sharing and based on the principle of "break-even" (read: "harmony").

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant said we can never know a thing in itself. We are always bound by the limitations of our own individual sensory-perception-system. We can observe the thing and touch it and research it, but we can never know what it really is.

Everybody is perceiving the World from their own level of consciousness. From that level some things seem right and some wrong. Everybody is living their lives from what they believe is right and how could you do it differently?

The moment you decide you are done with suffering, is the moment you are ready to become your Self. It is the initiation to so called "awakening" from your ego-identification which no longer serves you (makes your feel good) and move on to your true identity, your Self.

My personal experiences with entheogens are very positive and I believe that entheogens can be of great therapeutic help to heal trauma's, getting insights into your life-situations and expanding your consciousness in general.

A lot of people are struggling with falling a sleep nowadays. To be clear falling a sleep is not something we can choose. Sleep catches us. What we have to focus on is to be as ready as possible, so sleep can take over.

The Law of Attraction is one of the big subjects within spirituality. I think the subject is very appealing, because who does not want to create the life you dream of, especially when you can attract it, or manifest it, without a lot of effort.

What part of humanity is doing on a planetary level exhausting natural resources, your ego is doing on an individual level exhausting your body. On a collective level we might call this "Climate-change", on the personal level we call this is a "burn-out."

More and more people are looking for their passion in life. This is a great thing. We have reached a certain level of society where survival does not have to be the primairy goal anymore, but doing with your life what you have dreamt of is.

Your left-brain is assigned to the job to protect you. Make you survive in this world, to continue your status quo. Your analytical skills make you able to judge situations and decide how to act to protect your status-quo.

Becoming more CONSCIOUS, feeling good and peaceful is an outcome of spiritual practice. But spirituality does not SKIP the human-body and its physiology. Someone does not feel spiritual BLISS, without the abudance of the right chemical-substances (NEURO-TRANSMITTERS) in your BRAIN.

For years I have been running around the World finding satisfaction. And I did find it; first in partying, later in traveling, my job and reading books about spirituality. But the satisfaction I found was always temporary.
