A Message to all the Cosmic Surfers.
I am writing this in an attempt to describe the perfection of the cosmos that we are all part of.
Just like wind and water, the cosmos is in balance. And just as the ocean and the sky coexist, the elements in the cosmos coexist together while still separate.
All elements are intertwined and in freedom at the same time.
And just as the wind wants to take the place of the water, sometimes the water takes the place of the wind.
The alchemy of all elements together creates an energetic force field that harbors all life forms, including us.
We as humans are the cosmic surfers who glide on the waves of all elements in the cosmic ocean. Just as wind and water we can work together in a this constant dance to find balance. All other elements participate to keep the universal state of harmony alive.
In fact, all elements are making love in the cosmic ocean of bliss. and the thing is that we are invited to participate in the party that never ends!
So you don’t have to hide, you don’t have to fight it, you don’t have to be afraid. Either way, your ego cannot defeat cosmic intelligence, so don’t let your ego separate you from this- just take that leap and swim with all the elements in the universe.
It sometimes looks quite spectacular and dangerous. But elements just explode and fall apart to come together so they can explode and fall apart again. This is the infinite game of transformation and growth, the material forms are constantly changing so that the one consciousness behind the forms can become more aware of the cosmic joke that everything is you!
So what are you waiting for, why resist the game you’ve invented to play hide and seek with yourself.
Just surrender to life and surf the electric light waves on the mystical journey that is your existence.
Tune in right now, dive so deep into the silence that it starts to vibrate and your unique song begins to play along in the beautiful symphony of life we all form together.

In times of stress we get to see more clearly what kind of wood the people around us are made of. A
little panic can make people do things that they would never imagined. That’s why it is important to
know yourself.
By Henk Verhaeren
People who haven ’t got an opinion of their own are dangerous.
They are easy to influence.
They tend to adopt the opinion of the people around them. And they usually agree with the opinion
of the majority of the people.
Simply because it is safe to participate in the crowd.
It’s very democratic in a way.
But the masses can be wrong, so it is most important to learn people how to think for themselves.
This is where our school system fails.
The average school does not teach students to think for themselves, they just fill the children with
information.
It is very difficult to talk on a rational bases with people that have no opinion of their own.
They can’t defend themselves with arguments so they use rejection and aggression as a defense
mechanism.
And this anger can result in blind rage against human’s with and opposite opinion that isn’t accepted
by the group.
Not because the opposite opinion is factually wrong.
But simply because it is in opposition to the concepts of the group. That is the only point necessary to
legitimize an attack or an abandonment.
The influence of what a group thinks can have a destructive impact on innocent lives.
The masses can be influenced by the media very easy.
If the public opinion decides that somebody has got to go for one reason or another.
The masses can easily accept this because they don’t have the tools to critically analyze what they
read.
But they can be emotionally triggered to put all logic aside. They can be programmed into the
accepting that it is a good thing to dehumanize people that dare to criticize their mainstream
believes.
This happened many times.
Just check the history of humanity.
Most revolutionary thinkers who are now respected, were far ahead of their time.
Many of them were considered problematic by the establishment because of their theories.
They were imprisoned, banned or even killed.
The groups that are formed within our school system are easy to handle, like a herd of cattle. When
the herd is sufficiently fed and nothing disturbs it too much, everything is fine.
People that create their identity based on the ideology of a group can turn against a jointly chosen
enemy without
rational reasons. Like a herd of bison’s in a stampede.
What the majority of the group accepts as the truth, simply must be the truth.
It is therefore not seen as necessary to have a discussion with someone who has valid arguments
that contradict the ideology of the group.
The dissonant opinion is by definition wrong.
The group only includes people as long as they share the same ideology.
What they consider as “the truth” is based more on blind faith then on actual knowledge.
This is why facts don’t matter so much anymore to a group. Any point of view that is contradictory to
the groups opinion just has to be rejected.
And because group followers can’t make up their own opinion they are not able to check the
credibility in comparison to somebody who is authentic and capable to think
for him or herself.
That’s why it is so important to be able to think for yourself. Because even if the whole world states
that something is good, this doesn’t automatically make something factually accurate and righteous.
So, learn to think for yourself
Learn to form your own thoughts.
Learn to put your thoughts into words.
Express your truth.
It is your birthright to speak and think freely.
Don’t let someone censor you.
Don’t censor yourself out of fear for saying the wrong things.
No one has the right to take your voice away. Not even god.
The opposite of narrow-mindedness is a broad spectrum of polarities that are constantly balancing
each other in an interactive dance of words. That is civilization
Don’t react towards criticism by avoiding people.
As long as someone doesn’t
physically attack you, you should consider criticism as a challenging invitation to
create more understanding.
Words are magic, words have power.
Words are better than violence.
Words are yours, don’t lose them,
use them.
Like I said before: Point to the blind spot of intelligence and the intelligent person will thank you.
Point to the blind spot of arrogance and the arrogant person will turn away from you.
Point to the blind spot of power and if the power is weak, it will attack you from behind.
Point to the blind spot of the liar and the liar will turn things around and start to accuse you.
Point to the blind spot of cowardice, and the coward will run away from you. (and betray you)
Point to the blind spot of stupidity and the stupid will be offended by you.
Point to the blind spot of wisdom and the wise person will accept it as a gift from you .

The King and the Dragon
In a land somewhere in the future, not so far away from here. The Kings were true King’s. Nobody knew how they had proven to be worthy to be king. Not even the Kings themselves….
Evening fell as the king stared through the window of his castle, dreaming about the queen of his dreams. The purple colors in the sky started to dim as the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon.
On the ground at the end of the Kings bed, the dragon was preparing for the night. The dragon and the king were always together. They were friends that watched over each other, day and night. But nobody else in the kingdom knew about the dragon.
Before the king blew out the candle, he looked at the dragon. “Why don’t you show yourself to the people,’ the king asked. ‘The people have all kinds of terrible ideas about dragons. I don’t like it when I hear them talking those stories about my dear dragon friend. You are such a noble creature. You watch over me, you take care of me like I take care of you, and you have been with me for many years, but I have never seen you do the things that they say about you. The dragon lifted his head and said to the King: You are the only one who can see me because you gave me the chance to show myself. Unlike others, you were not afraid of me, regardless of the monster that I am. Not many people who have seen a dragon can talk about it afterwards. “The dragon yawned.
“But you don’t look like a monster,” said the king, staring at the teeth in the mouth of the dragon. “I mean, you’re definitely a dragon, but you’re beautiful and the most noble and wise creature I know. ”
Thank you, the dragon said. But that is what you see in me. Others only see a monster. Most people don’t even dare to look at me. They flee from the moment they see me. Some are literally scared to death at first sight. And when people survive after they have seen a dragon, a lifelong quest to kill us often follows. So. That’s why dragons hide. It prevents a lot of misery.’
The king looked at the dragon in silence. He did not understand how such an awesome thing could evoke so much anxiety in people. On the other hand, he also knew that if the dragon was angry, it seemed as if he was coming straight from hell. But the dragon had never abused his power, and he used it only to protect against evil forces that attacked.
The dragons eyes glowed a little, the King noticed.
People are afraid of dragons. For now that is just impossible to change. Because what people fear the most, said the dragon, is the dragon within themselves. They are afraid of the dragons power. They are afraid to lose control once the dragon breaks loose. So the inner dragon is buried under deep layers of shame, fear and guilt. And if an inner dragon ever has a chance to shows its face, then the beast is so full of vengeance, that its fire is out of control. The dragon turns against the one who has suppressed and despised him for so long. So the dragon wants control and they will give it, out of fear, with all the bad consequences that follow.
The dragon shook his head: Humans want a world without dragons. They believe that everything is resolved once all dragons are gone. But that will not be so. Peace can only come when man and dragon learn to interact together. Otherwise, people will always find the dragon they don’t want to recognize in themselves, in another person and then go into battle with them.
So, as long as most people have not found peace with their own dragon, they will certainly not find peace with the king’s dragon. When they see me they will just panic and they immediately shall want to destroy me… And you, the dragon wanted to say, but he knew the King was wise enough to get it.
That’s why I stay out of sight, the dragon said. It won’t do good. And besides that, if you show me to the world, the people will claim that you are nothing without me. And that I have enslaved you.
The King understood that the dragon was right, but it bothered him, it didn’t feel righteous: ‘ I think it’s a shame that I have to keep your secret. I would like people to see who you really are. If they see you they can learn to trust the dragon within themselves a little better, and that could help everyone so much.
The dragon eyes sparkled, he didn’t want that the king did things because he said so: ‘You can do what you want of course, and I know that you act out of love, your heart is pure, the one of a true king. But don’t forget that nowadays there are stories about reptilians from other space who want to take over the world. So I think that it will cause even more unrest. In any case, you should not be surprised that when they see you with me, they will treat you like a monster too.
The King knew the dragon said wise words. He petted the dragon in his neck. The dragon eyes closed as it grumbled satisfactorily.
Why did you show yourself to me? the king asked.
The dragon hesitate for a moment.
Well, the Dragon said after a while, I had to show myself to you, because you were at a point of destroying yourself. You were making dangerous decision at that time. You started to listen to the people who made you feel bad. They told you that they were your friend, but they made you see yourself as a monster. It got so bad that you had decided that you didn’t have a reason to exist anymore. And that the world was better off without you. So, before it was too late, I had to show myself to you. We couldn’t risk losing you as a King.
Now the King looked surprised. ‘Huh, did you see that in me then,’ he said. ‘I lived among people who were seen as the very lowest. I had nothing. I wasted my life and there was no one waiting for me.
I know, the dragon said. But despite that, even at your lowest point, you have always done your best to care for others. You even shared when you had nothing to give. And you protected every person and every being in need everywhere.
So to save you, and in fact the both of us, I had to appear in front of you. Fortunately you were not afraid of me. And you recognized in me what I saw in you. So from there we went on together and the many life lessons on our journey brought us to where we are today. You have never abused my power as a dragon.
The king decided to keep the dragon quite for a while. But what about the queen, how can I hide you, without lying, you know that would go against everything we stand for. You know we are just servants for the true divine powers truth, love, live and freedom.
Now the dragon seemed to smile a bit about the Kings ignorance. What is it, said the King. The dragon stretched his body and he took the time to tease the Kings patience. The king started to jump up and down, not really kinglike, so the dragon spoke with a soft voice as told about the Queen. He already told that story many times to the King, but they both liked to act as if it was the first time that the dragon told it to the king, and the king acted as if he listened to it for the first time. “There is one power greater then a king with a dragon, the dragon said. And that is a queen with a dragon. The queen with a dragon has the sword of truth, the heart of courage, and the guts to love with no mercy. You have that also a little, you have a little sword, and a nice little heart, and you can be mean, but you are a little boy next to her. And when the queen accepts your presence in whatever form for however long as the queen likes, you will ceremonially give your powers to her as a sign of respect. She will not take it, because she has powers we cannot even imagine. And perhaps she will even take them and then send you away with not even an droplet left of it. And even then you have to be thankful to her for taking it away from you.
The king nodded his head, but the dragon wasn’t finished yet
From the point you will see your true queen you feel in your heart humbleness and holiness that will make you do anything for the love of the queen. And you probably won’t believe it, but she hates that, and she will destroy you, because a queen cannot allow weakness at her side, even if it serves her like a dog. That is what I will become when you do that by the way, I will leave you to walk in her shadow as a petdogdragon. So keep your head clear if you don’t want to lose it. But from the moment we trade our responsibility for a slave mentality to please the queen we are doomed. The only reason why everything we life in service the queen is because we serve the whole of existence by doing that. But we cannot give our power out of hand to her and make her our mother. We have to face her on equal grounds in each and every moment. We have to carry full responsibility for ourselves, and take the responsibility over our lives mission to carry an even bigger one. The dragon of the queen will be ruthless if we are not loyal to the truth, freedom, love and life as a whole, just to please the queen. Everything and everyone needs to be treated with the respect and the love the queen is given. And now it is time to sleep my friend, said the dragon to the king.
The King lay down on his bed and as he stared at the ceiling he slowly feel asleep. Before the King had closed his eyes, the dragon already had slipped into the heart of the King, The kings heart was the home of the dragon. The dragon curled up comfortably in the heart of the King. And soon they dreamed a beautiful dream of a land somewhere in a future, not so far from here ..

Hey Henk Verhaeren, what is enlightenment?
Okay. You want me to give you an insight in enlightened awareness of reality? No problem. Let me see how much your brains can handle.
First of all you could say that an enlightened person doesn’t think so much, because knowing begins where thinking stops. And that the more enlightened a person becomes, the more aware that person is. It’s that simple.
Let me give you a little example of this “knowing”.
For example I can explain to you the mechanics of the universe.
This might seems a crazy and impossible task. But for an enlightened human like me this is actually a piece of cake.
So, here we go. And I will make it extra simple so you can understand it:
Imagine a cell inside your body. That cell is working in there with a certain task to serve your body. Each cell is programmed for a certain job. One cell feeds you, another cell helps to take out the garbage, another cell passes information. (All cells are interconnected, so they are exchanging messages all the time, that’s how your body functions)
Are you still with me, okay, this is not so difficult to understand, isn’t it.
Now imagine that a certain cell inside your body suddenly becomes aware of itself and wants to find out where it is and where it is coming from. So this conscious cell wonders what the reason of its existence is and starts to investigate. If the cell is able to do some serious research it finds out that it is operating in a big organism. We call this organism the human body. The cell lives in the human body as small integrated part of this complex system. Of course the cell doesn’t know the name of the human body. Maybe it will try to think of a name for it. You could imagine that for this cell the human body is a whole universe in itself. So for the cell the human body is some sort of planet.
(You feel where I’m getting at?…)
Now, imagine that after the cell has become aware of this after some research, it enthusiastically wants to communicate about its findings with the other cells in the body.
What do you think will happen? Exactly, the other cells will probably say the cell is crazy when he’s trying to tell them that they are all small parts existing in one big complex organism with an intelligence of its own.
This is true, isn’t it.
Now, get ready for the next thing I want you to imagine…
Here we go: If the cell is able to find out that it lives into a human body, it would also be able to discover after further investigations that this human body came into existence after an orgasm. Can you imagine that for the cell this must seem like an impossible miracle. In the hypothetical eyes of the cell, the human body must some sort of magical god.
Now, here’s the final step: If you are able to imagine – just like the cell that became consciously aware of the reality that it lives in – yourself as a cell that is living on a more complex body we call mother earth. Than you can also must be able to imagine that the cosmos is the result of a cosmic orgasm we call the big bang. A cosmic orgasm in the birth channel of a black hole that expand into what we call the universe.
Okay, still with me. So this is the “knowing” that happens when your awareness expands.
Sounds crazy? Sure. Imagine how a cell in your body would react when another cell tells him that there must be another body out there…. It would say that the cell is crazy. But… is it? Reality is that it is true.
Not so crazy after you seen it through the imaginary eyes of a cell, isn’t it….
Question is, how are you going to explain now to the people around you that the big bang is just a cosmic orgasm from some sort of god. And that the universe we are living in is just like our body to a cell..
Well, just relax, don’t worry. Just like the cells inside your body have different tasks to serve your body, humans are doing different jobs to serve the earth.
Some humans deliver the food. Some humans take out the garbage. And… just like cells deliver information to the brain when it is hungry…some bring you the post.
Some say it’s the mailman, others say it is a messenger of god. I say it’s all just a bunch of interconnected cells that are exchanging messages to each other all the time. And that maybe, some humans are just not so much aware of it. Until now!
Get ready for Global Awakening: the next step in human evolution.
And don’t forget: Sharing is caring!
Henk Verhaeren aka The master of Destruction
KARMIC LOVERS – Henk Verhaeren
Love is a verb. So a successful love-relation requires mental, physical and spiritual input from both partners. In healthy situations a natural balancing is taking place, which makes lovers able to evolve in equal measures.
Sometimes consciousness takes a leap ahead in evolution. That’s when spiritual awakening knocks on the door. If one partner awakens during a relationship– which is usually the case – the relation will not automatically change for the better. A major shift in consciousness can turn a love-life completely upside down.
Spiritual people might assume that a spiritual awakening will be beneficial for the romance. It’s possible. But it can also have a devastating effect. Sometimes it takes years before the awakening is established in the world. It just needs time and effort to integrate the shift. That can become a burden for the partner who didn’t ask for this. And also for the awakened one it isn’t all love, peace and happiness 24/7. Recognizing your shadow-sides in the mirror reflection of your beloved partner can be rather shocking. Ego and authenticity usually don’t match very well.
When you are spiritually awakening you can see the constricting patterns which connect you and your partner in a negative way. At first it seems simple to rectify. But physical reality is more stubborn than clear understanding. Soon you will find out that discussing these karmic patterns with your partner is challenging. That’s because the patterns are covering up extremely sensitive inner wounds and trauma. As a result of talking about it, unconscious defense mechanisms become active. This makes open communication practically impossible. The partner simply feels attacked, and will counterattack or shut down emotionally. In this way what stands between you cannot be taken care of and healed. This is a painful dilemma. Especially for the awakened partner, because the solution seems so obvious. But don’t forget – although it might seem logical and simple now that you’re awakened – that before your awakening you weren’t aware of these patterns too.
When spiritual awakening reveals your repressed shadow sides, it changes your perspective on life right away. You’re able to distinguish unconscious patterns that are activating undesirable behavior. To dismantle these ingrained, and often ancestral habits, is hard. To integrate the insights into your relationship is even harder. And on top of that there is also the wounded collective karma, that binds us all. Hell, it probably takes millions of lifetimes to transcend this, and even than the integration will probably never stop.
After an intense awakening your relationship enters an intense period of great possibilities and tremendous growth. But, just like the meme says: ‘No pain, no gain’. It’s hard work. The dark phases in between the revelations are numerous. When you think you’ve seen it all, the next dark shadow jumps on your back. I don’t want to spoil the fun. But the chance that the dark night of the soul literally lasts only one night, is less than zero. Many dark nights must be overcome.
And, as if all these confrontations aren’t enough, besides that memories from past lives can pop up. Also about past lives that you and your partner have shared together. This can bring lovers closer or drive them apart. It makes all inner demons appear to test what you are truly made of. It’s in this way that unconditional love can reveal its deeper meaning, far beyond the romanticized idea of it.
So there’s no guarantee that your partner can or will be able to cope with the turmoil that your awakening creates. So be it. Some relationships just aren’t meant to last forever.
Luckily an awakened partner can recognize the pitfalls in the relationship more clearly, and that is helpful. What undeniably becomes clear is that there’s unresolved karma inside the both of you. And that it needs to be dealt with. The sooner you start working on it, the easier it is. Opening up towards each other is the key to success. Dare to be vulnerable and be totally honest. Make from your togetherness a safe space where you and your partner can push discover who you truly are. Speak out openly what you want, what you’re afraid of, and show even the parts that you don’t want to show. It’s fast-track therapy. Not easy, I know, but what normally takes years to get over, can now be solved in a day.
Catharsis is hard. But I encourage you to not to give up. Because once you understand and trust the mechanism behind this purification of karma, it becomes easier to cope with. It’s a bit like grinding a diamond. The revelation of this inner diamond means the blossoming of your soul, and the manifestation of your true self into the world.
The road to liberation passes straight through hell. It’s no joke. There’s no shortcut to enlightenment. But it’s definitely worth it all. That’s a promise.
It’s a misunderstanding that an awakened person is smiling peacefully all day long. If that is the case, it’s most certainly fake. Real Buddha’s don’t look like the way institutionalized religions wants us to believe they look. Jesus wasn’t a soft snowflake hippy. He was a provocative dissident. An enlightened rebel that was accused for blasphemy. The authorities considered him a criminal, and punished him with crucifixion. No, the Good Shepherd wasn’t always mister nice guy, as proofs the following description from the Bible. ‘Whit a whip made of cords he drove the merchants and money-changers out of the temple, while he overturned there tables and poured out the coins, screaming: “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house into a house of trade.”’ So, yes, an awakened being can get angry. The difference is that deep below the anger the inner smile hides. Awake consciousness is present and observing all emotional fluctuations undisturbed. That being said: The human physics takes a bit longer to adjust to new insights than the mind. So shortly after awakening, ingrained reactions that are driven by unconscious triggers are easily activated. Sometimes extremely forceful. As if the ego, in its last convulsing attempts, tries to take back control. At that moment the anger comes out without a filter. This can look mad, wild and dangerous. Than the sword of truth hasn’t always the desired effect, to put it mildly. To handle the sword of truth takes practice. This makes it so much harder for your partner to understand what is going on. Often the partner feels – and perhaps rightly so – attacked, belittled, betrayed, exposed, abandoned, uncertain or tricked by you when you’re overenthusiastically waving the sword of truth around. They assume that this is not how a real spiritual awakened person should behave. It softens after a while. But seeing truth makes the things we want to ignore, impossible to ignore. By pushing the boundaries as a shadow-worker we get the experience to establish a more careful approach. So the sword of truth destroys only that which is false and fake.
As a shadow-worker I had to find out that the sword is sufficient enough as a pointer. So yes it’s true, in the beginning I pushed too hard, was too radical, too over-enthusiastic. I admit that. And I still sometimes lack patience. But hey, even a master doesn’t stop learning. I’ve walked the path, and I’m still walking it. Believe me, working with karma is like casting out devils. A nasty job. I didn’t get the title Master of Destruction for no reason. And it certainly didn’t came free with a pack of oatmeal. But it works. And those who stood closest to me and still stand, rely on what I do. They’ve all made the shift, or are working on it. Some have run away, too bad for them.
My advice to you – when you recognize that you’re in a karmic relationship – is as follows: Even though the repeated drama is draining your energy, and the same endless quarreling keeps you trapped in despair, don’t give up a love-relation to easily because it becomes uncomfortable. Love is worth fighting for, worth dying for, and even better: worth living for. Don’t think every quarrel is a waste of time. Conflicts that eventually create breakthroughs, are always better then pretending or ignoring each other for the sake of peace.
Yes, a karmic love affair can get heated up badly. At times it seems like insanity to continue the relationship. And sometimes it is. It’s okay to break up. At least take time to let things cool down before you talk again. Back off for a while. In a healthy relationship its crucial anyway to spent some time alone. To meditate, to exercise, to do your own thing. Love is freedom. It needs to breath, and space to spread its wings. Even when you’ve met your twin-flame, after many lifetimes apart, your soul needs to stay centered inside yourself. Solitary moments renew your energy. Being separate teaches you to trust, to accept, and to let go. It’s best to integrate what you both have learned apart. Embrace a moment of being alone with source, before you unite again to let love nurture your body. That’s the organic rhythm of the cosmic love dance. Not every dragon has to be slayed straightaway. Not everything has to be solved instantly. Energetic blockages can dissolve fast, but the emotional inner wounds need time and rest to heal.
Celebrate the good times, and welcome the hard times with an open mind. The hard times are the most precious. Because your relationship is all about working your way out of the vicious karmic circles. Deal with the problems and fears. No longer run away for them. There is no escape from karma anyhow. If you can’t work out your karma now with your karmic partner, you’ll automatically attract a new partner that confronts you with the same problems even harder in your next relationship.
It’s possible that you’ve had a relationship with your lover in a former lifetime. And made a soul contract before stepping into this life. Your difficulties are just tools to remove your masks. It’s all part of a bigger cosmic design. Necessary to find back your divine nature. It takes many incarnations before your authentic face is found back, and you return back home inside your heart, the heart of all source.
It’s not without reason that your true self is hiding. Fear is covering your inner child with layers of energetic scar tissue. These layers don’t dissolve by itself. So when the unconscious karmic partner re-invites the drama, this is just what is a necessary, because the unconsciousness can only be made conscious in this hard way. The whole idea of these dynamics is to create a breakthrough. So the clashes that seem such a waste of time and energy are actually useful. No, a relationship with a karmic partner is not all puppy dogs and rainbows. But it’s exactly what you need for the incredible opportunity for soul expansion.
The only possibility to get rid of bad karma, is by become fully aware of the unconscious patterns. Karma just keeps knocking on your door harder, until you wake up. Why is this all so difficult and hard? Well, like I mentioned before, the thing is that it hurts when inner wounds are touched. This creates mortal agony. And a fight, flight or freeze reaction. Completely natural responses to protect the inner child. The paradox is that your inner child doesn’t want protection anymore. The inner child is crying out for love and liberation. The fear based ego is using all its authority to ignore this inner voice, or tries to silence it. That’s what makes karmic healing so difficult.
In many relationships this results in an endless battle between trust and fear. The dilemma is that the person who is able to touch our vulnerability, appears to be the opponent. The simple fact that love gives someone the power to make or break our inner child, gives our ego enough reason to push them away, and to consider the one that loves us as the enemy every time it comes to close. Crazy, isn’t it? Yes, but just look around you, it happens all the time. Ego and inner child have forgotten that they’re one and the same. Emotional trauma has created a split personality in every human. Everybody is fragmented and shattered in broken pieces. The world has become a crazy maze where people desperately are searching for love, and are led astray by the fear of losing it. They are so desperate and lost that they try to fulfill their craving for love with things like sex, cars, financial security, drugs, power and reputation. Of course these substitutes for love will never answer the deep desire for soul unity. And instead the poor inner child is starving a bit more.
Broken souls push love away, while only love can make them whole again. Many couples don’t see this trick the fear based ego does on them. They end the romance after the first setback smashes their illusion of how love is supposed to be. Deep inside they’re relieved to escaped the vulnerability after each break-up. Not realizing that their greatest strength lies within embracing their vulnerability. So the same story continues. Lovers become enemy’s. After a little while they start to project their fantasy on someone new. And soon the drama of unresolved karma repeats the sad story all over again.
Finding love seems an impossible task. Because even if karmic patterns in a relationship can be openly discussed, this will create resistance and stress. The fact that the awakened partner sees through many karmic structures, doesn’t mean that they themselves have no inner wounds to heal, or that they don’t need to be taken care of. The karmic work only stops when everyone is enlightened. Because every individual human carries the karma of the whole humanity within.
Once the transformation starts in a relationship by mirroring each other’s shadow sides, this feels a bit like open heart surgery with kitchen knives, and without anesthesia. So it goes against all laws of nature to surrender to that. Complete madness. But it’s the only road to liberation in a karmic relationship. So to trust is the best thing to do. Trust means blind surrender. That’s logical, because otherwise it wouldn’t be trust, just cold calculation.
People are rightfully terrified of a broken heart. But what if I told you that the heart needs to break open? That the heart has to be open, to be able let love flow in and out. You have to be willing to let your ego die first. Before the new comes, the old has to die.The good news is that the realization of this higher truth, means your rebirth as a liberated soul.
If you want to transcend bad-karma, you’ll need to jump into the unknown. Awakening is the beginning of that process. But there is no free ticket. The only way out is through. Your programming isn’t easy to delete. It is formed since the beginning of time, when soul incarnated into matter. There are traumatic blind spots deep inside you that haven’t seen the light of day, and your karmic partner is the one that will discover them. In that sense you can regard your partner as your greatest teacher. Not reacting impulsively to emotional accusations from a beloved one is hard. Drama is highly addictive, that’s why co-dependency has such a strong grip. That’s where the saying: ‘They can’t live with but also not without each other’ derives from. In general people don’t like to give up there certainties, even if they’re harmful and destructive.If everything goes well for a long time, this can make people feel uncomfortable. Partners often miss their fights after a while. It’s like a drug, Drama gave the relation a sense of certainty that they could rely on. But you won’t be bored by eternal bliss when your karmic debt is compensated, I can assure you that.
Transforming darkness into light is a battle of mythical proportions. It’s a fight with inner demons and monsters that seem to visit you straight out of hell. A nerve-racking, yet indispensable phase to obtain enlightenment. Accepting whatever comes on this journey is half of the work. And after a the first taste of victory, you’ll be able to stay centered and relax more. That doesn’t mean the testing stops. Oh no my dear, your calmness is like a red flag in front of a bull. You’re going to be flipped upside down and inside out until all hope for mercy is beaten out of you. Your partner won’t stop pushing and pulling until all your karmic roles are shattered. And probably the purification will never fully end during this life. For you’re not only healing karmic issues for yourself and your partner, but also on a collective scale. In fact the whole cosmos plays a part in your karmic web. Because – as I’m sure you figured out already – ALL IS ONE.
At some point – and that is going to be the major shift in consciousness – you’ll get to see the full scale of the whole cosmic joke. The divine source had to play this joke on itself. Oneness had to create the illusion of duality and separation to experience itself. Being conscious aware of this is, creates the transcendence of duality. Then the smile of the Buddha rises inside your heart. Like an inner sun. And you feel this deep respect for the cosmic intelligence behind it all. And instead of becoming angry about a certain remark that used to trigger you. You feel a sense of deep compassion for the remark, because you know where the pain behind it attack is coming from.
A karmic love relation is an accelerator for personal growth. Learning to love is an astonishing way to discover and develop the full potential of human evolution. An already awakened partner can surely help you on this journey, if you’re open to it. But in the end there is only one person who can decide to end the suffering that is created by the wheel of karma. And that person is you!
So, take that leap of faith. Reconnect with the lost inner child inside you. Face all the layers of fear without resisting. Surrender yourself to love without expectations. Your karma simply dissolves by applying your attention to it, that’s all you need to do. You’ll be fine. Trust the inner child. This inner child is your true self. Let it free. Open up. Your heart knows exactly what you need. And you deserve it all!
Thanks for your attention and I’m looking forward to your reactions and insights.
Sending you light and love,Henk Verhaeren aka The Master of Destruction

The end of Suffering
Chapter 2
Living and suffering are inextricably linked. Yet, there is a possibility to escape from the suffering of existence. This happens in seeing that there is no escape. If you fully understand this paradox, suffering will flow out of you like water from a sink.
It’s simple. If you accept the suffering, you will no longer be torn between fear and despair. Then you only have to deal with the pain that is. And that pain, is much less than the suffering you create with avoiding, ignoring, fighting and fearing it.
Life is full of ups and downs. At times it can feel like a runaway roller coaster in a haunted house. That can be fun for a while. But if there seems to come no end to it, the fun can evaporate. Well, have I got news for you! There will come no end to it. It never stops! So you have two options. Cry or laugh. Both options don’t change the situation, so you might as well laugh. Don’t take things too seriously, relax.
Nothing is certain. Every situation is temporary. Nice situations will go by. Thus also the unpleasant ones will pass. You win some, you lose some. Love and happiness are followed by their opposites. Today you feel fine, ready to take over the world. Tomorrow you’re sick, and don’t want to get out of your lazy bed. Today you are in love with someone, tomorrow you love to drink their blood. Today you have some savings, tomorrow it is spent. Today you have a job, tomorrow you are fired. This is the wheel of karma. The natural movement of life. What are you going to do about it? Nothing, right.
What goes up, must come down. The movement is necessary in order to rotate the wheel of life. If the wheel isn’t spinning, the show stops. The whole universe is spinning. Everything goes round and round, just look around you, the sun, the earth, the water, the wind, your breath, your blood, your mind. All spinning. Life is impossible without fluctuation. How could you make a step forwards if you can’t lift your foot? After touching the sky, the wheel hits the dirt again. Therefore an Awakened one doesn’t worry if the wheel goes down. It’s the same wheel, regardless of the circumstances, and the wheel just does what it is meant to do. It turns. So why would you interfere? You will only mess things up.
But I’ve got to do something, don’t I?
No, don’t you get it? That’s where all the trouble begins. Don’t move. Once you stand still you automatically move into the centre of the wheel. In the centre is the calm eye of the storm. It’s pure bliss and peace. That’s where you transcend duality. Once you are centred the bumpiest road can’t take that stillness away. Just let the wheel take you, trust the wheel, it knows what to do. Don’t try to stop it or speed up the rotation. Just try it for one minute, and you will know.
An Awakened being is someone that has realized that trying to control the upward and downward movement of life is insane. Average people only want the upward movement. That is not realistic. They get so focused on going up and staying there, that they don’t see that the downward movement is necessary to create enough speed to go upwards. They only are willing to accept the pleasure and joy. But pain and sadness are not separate from joy and happiness.
People pull and push like crazy to get the wheel in the position they prefer. If you grab the wheel in an attempt to control it, you get hurt. The wheel is stronger than individual wants and needs, it has its own higher will. It’s a radar in the clock of the universe. Do you think you can beat the clockwork of the universe? Fighting the wheel will only exhaust you. And even during a peak moment of winning, you will soon live in a fear again, because deep inside you know that you will not succeed to keep the wheel from falling. You are going to hit the dirt. No prayer or effort will rescue you. In fact, it’s all so logical. But in its simplicity apparently, it is incomprehensible. Because almost everyone resists the rotation of the wheel. The whole society is built upon fear and resistance against the laws of nature. You will see this very clearly when you transcend duality. And it is extremely funny and extremely sad at the same time.
Society is caught in a treadmill of life. That’s deadly tiring. Eventually society will collapse. Also on a personal level people are doing the best they can to control the wheel, but it’s mission impossible. At some point the physical and mental exhaustion becomes so large that one collapses. That’s an attempt from the Higher to make people aware. But a burn-out, depression or suicidal thought are seen as a failure in our society. Unfortunately most people don’t want to go to the depth, they want a fast solution. Symptom management. They cannot even bear the idea that it makes no sense to go on living in the way they do. Instead of addressing the real cause, they start looking for means and ways to combat the symptoms. Pills or booze, help to ignore the inner outcries. They have learned to suppress their inner voice in society. And society will help them to find new strategies to repress that inner voice again. To get them back on their feet again so they can go on fighting against the wheel, like Don Quixote against the windmills.
Without solving the deeper cause of the problem, people will just go on sickening the world and themselves. The funniest thing behind it all is that there is no problem to solve. It’s the trying to solve the problem that is the problem! That is what you will understand once you stand in the eye of the storm. That is where duality stops affecting you in a painful way. Duality is the divine power that keeps the wheel spinning. Once you truly get that you will hear the roaring laughter of the Buddha under your skull.
A breakdown is an opportunity to renew things. A chance to start with a clean slate. To reconnect with source so it can provide you the multidimensional building blocks you need to expand. But going to the bottom to resolve things can hardly be put into practice in today’s society. Simply because there is this collective delusion that there is no time for it. Also we don’t dare to show others that we feel weak and uncertain, or downright scared. Because nobody does that. Instead of facing the fear and overcome the problem, people stuff their heads with tranquillizers and techniques. On doctors’ advice people decide to eat a little healthier and to physically exercise a bit more. A nice aspiration. And people will feel better after their energy comes back. But the down period is quickly forgotten when one feels just a little bit better. And soon they start to focus on the top of the wheel again. This time it will surely work out… they believe. Yeah right.
And it is not totally abnormal that people go on thinking and acting in the same way they always did. That ‘ethereal spiritual bullshit’ is all good and well, but it doesn’t pay the bills. The earnings are getting less, jobs are scarce, while everything is getting more expensive. So the pressure to perform in society is enormous. Because our life literally seems to depend on it. It’s a rat race. If we cannot pay the rent for a few months, we end up on the street. So we remain running in our desperate attempts to serve society. The problem with society is that it narrows down our consciousness. And success in life is dependable on the magnitude of consciousness. The more consciousness you have, the more you can achieve, that’s pure logic. Consciousness is at the base of everything. Without a firm base you’re building a house of cards. So it is better to build up your true authentic self first before you start running round like a mad juggler. Expand your consciousness. A mental breakdown is a perfect starting point for that.The moment you dare to drop everything, things relax. Relaxation reconnects you with source. Once you are reconnected with source again, it will create a tremendous sense of liberation, because you know exactly what to do. And finally the wheel of the universe can keep on turning. Just like it always did, and always will. Enjoy the ride!

The Path of love is narrow
chapter 15
The path of love starts wide. But if you begin to follow it, it becomes narrower along the way. It is like an inverted river. The path of love doesn’t lead us to the sea of everything, but back into the source of one. The path gets smaller as we find out that the things we think of as love, are often just a surrogate.
At the beginning of the path, one tries to catch love and contain it. But love cannot be held as a possession. That can be frightening, because love is so beautiful that you don’t want to lose it. Some people become so afraid after they experienced the wrenching pain from the loss of a lover, that they start to avoid intimacy. They shut down. That’s a sad thing. Isolation is the same as slowly dying. And many people really do. The light in their eyes is gone.
The path of love is only for the brave. All illusions will crumble the mountain path under your feet. It becomes so narrow that you can fall in the abyss with each next step. The path is like a silk thread. If it breaks, it means falling. So you would be crazy to go further, because obviously the thread can´t hold you.
But there is no turning back at this point. Every move is dangerous.
So what happens? Well, you can freeze, but eventually you will fall into the abyss anyway. So why postpone. Just jump. And then you will notice, to your pleasant surprise, that you will not crash and die. You´ll have to drop yourself if you want to be free. That’s why they call it: falling in love. Jump into the abyss blindly, and all the fears you carried along will let go of you, simply because fear is too afraid to follow you in there. Just as darkness can’t penetrate the light. From the moment you realize this, you are Awakened in truth.
The jump is where the path of your worldly identification ends. Love and life bundle themselves as one. And that One, is the new you. A point of concentrated nothingness, reconnected with the divine source. From that point on, the river turns, and it becomes impossible to describe the state ‘you’ are in.
What is the right way to come into this ‘place’?
There is no answer to that question. Nobody can tell you. You can only know ‘it’, if you are there. And if somebody tells you; ‘My way is the only way to get in’, it is almost certainly not true.
But it seems that the chance of getting there is bigger if you follow strict lines. Considering that the smallest lie will draw you away from the narrow entrance at the end of the path. Any excuse or doubt will only cling you with false safety anchors on the mountain ridge.
So you cannot go further. You will only swing back and forth between fear and hope alongside the steep mountainside. You will need all your effort to keep yourself standing on the ledge above the abyss in that position. And because of the entailing stress, you might even forget why you came there in the first place: to find love. The mountainside hangs full of people who made the same slip-up. And they become entangled in each other’s lifelines that are getting interwoven fast by all the intrigues, self-delusions and manipulations.
The final step on the narrow path to liberation you´ll have to make alone. Counting on anything or anyone else will get you stuck. Yes, it is a crowded place out there, so close to the top on the mountain to liberation, and you might start thinking: ‘If so many people are hanging in there, they must be right’. But no, they just got lost and are walking in circles. They hang on to their old life patterns in fear. You cannot have the old and the new at the same time. The whole pattern of old securities must be cut in pieces completely. Therefore, the smallest lie, denial, or fear of shadow self, can extinguish the light at the end of the path. So it is important to recognize those traps as quickly as possible. Stay out of the spider web. Protect your higher self. Drop it all. Make your old identity so small that it disappears.
It must be just like Jesus said once: “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle” than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. With the rich man he probably means a person who clings to material goods. So even clinging
to your body and your life, will hold you up. With ‘a rich man’ he doesn’t mean someone with a truckload of money. Even if you cling onto the tiniest straw of grass it means that you don’t want to give up your earthly securities, so you can’t get through the needle, because you can only go through it naked and with empty hands.
And yes, many camels have passed through the eye of the needle before you, because of the camel’s childlike purity, bravery and trust in life. For them it is easier because they don’t have the brain capacity to live in fear and count on time, as a human does.
