mindfulness – Primality

You can’t cling to the past …

Another piece of “How I met your mother” life philosophy (see –> Right place, right time) and another view on that life might get understood backwards, but needs to be lived forward (see –> Life is today). So both seems to be close to me …

Choose to be optimistic

02/05/202003/05/2020primality.eu

Of course not so easy when you are stuck in darkness or just been hit by fate. So for me that does not mean that one need to be positive all the time. Sadness or fear serve a purpose. However, we are not meant to remain stuck in such a state forever. This is when it becomes helpful to find out what your options are. And most of the times there is more than one option.

When someone tells me that I only have two alternatives to choose from (or that something is “without alternatives”), I get suspicious. This is rarely the case. Once I realize my options, the Dalai Lame (or Bruce Lee) come into play.

“Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.”
Bruce Lee

True visionary

23/04/202003/05/2020primality.eu

“Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming” – imagine 1999 … the rise of the internet has just started. To get access to the world wide web you needed modems, that made strange noise and would take minutes until you can get started. Websites took ages to built up, let alone videos. To download one song of 3 minutes could easily take an hour. A lot of people expected the internet to “go away one day”. This is the background to watch David Bowie’s predictions of where this would go …

See the full interview below – from minute 7:00 you can witness a true visionary. Predicting the future of the internet, music and society.

“The potential of what the internet is going to do to society, both good and bad is unimaginable.”

Sunrise

21/04/202003/05/2020primality.eu

The picture has been taken at Mt. Batur in Bali / Indonesia. Mt. Batur (known in Indonesia as Gunung Batur) is an active volcano, considered on of the most sacred mountains in Hinduism, and its peak is at 1717 metres. On the picture you can see majestic caldera lake reflecting the early sun-rays.

One of the most precious and emotional memories of my life – not only for the view, but in addition because of the journey it took to get to this picture. Getting up at around 1.30am for the 2-hour drive to the starting point of Toyabungkah village. Hiking up the mountain in darkness for another two hours to finally arrive at the summit. All this rewarded by the most beautiful and spiritual scenery possible.

Like this sunrise, many experiences in life only become really special and valuable by the efforts they required. Hopefully a consoling thought – when times are dark and the way is steep, there is a good chance that you get rewarded once you have gone through all this.

In loving memory of WV, who accompanied us on that memorable tour.

Be like water

17/04/202002/05/2020primality.eu

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” (Bruce Lee)
