To keep my inspiration and sense of connection to Source, I am most drawn to knowledge from something larger than my current state; inspiration from my awareness, which speaks in spurts, whispers unknowns, speculates in large, outrageous ways as it gives me insights, brings potential to my attention. Surfaces.
Fortunately, I discovered there was more of myself. After exhaustively covering much of my life, I had not peered closely enough into the 1990s, that grand period when my life was prett...

Bell Sounding to Thoughts – and Hunter Thompson
The audible, nonphysical bell was a phenomenon that appeared in my apartment in Tienen, Belgium, just after the sudden death of my boyfriend, Willy Vanluyten. It stayed over two years. It sounded somewhat like the watch sound that signals the hour, though there was no such watch in the apartment. It was part of an initiation. More on this and other subtle experiences inside Keep This Quiet! III: Initiations (2014) and the revised, expanded, retitled brand-new edition of volume IV, Ancient Secret...

Podcast on Meditation Tips, including for busy executives
This is the new podcast interview of me by Ayrial founder, Victoria Weston, called "A Meditative State." Or here.
It's about several topics and ends up with a lively discussion on editing. I think it's interesting. It's certainly informative.
She also, naturally - as the topic is ostensibly meditation - started off with questions about what meditation is and what a meditative state is, and what's the danger of walking around like a zombie. And how is it possible to steal a few minutes to m...

Private Sessions
If you are experiencing an obstacle in your spiritual development or just want to further that development, I invite you to join me in a 2-hour private session. Current available times are June 19 - 22: total cost $169.
As my stay in Raleigh is very limited in time, I will primarily advise in such a way that direct steps can be taken. Long-term guidance or apprenticeship is not realistic at this point.
A private session starts in general with an inter-vision, i.e., an exchange of information...

Just relax! If only it were that simple
Today's society requires a lot of adaptability. In addition to a busy job and a family, we see that our social life develops increasingly online; in the meantime we try to meet everyone's expectations. Speed and productivity are fighting for first place. Reflection, profundity and connectedness come far behind and often not at all. Relaxing is more than ever a rare commodity. Relax? Easier said than done. Because apart from when and where, how do you do that, anyway? The answer is simple: anywhe...

Computer PK samples – with Hunter Thompson
Sometimes my computer jumps in - not much anymore since I returned to live in North Carolina. But it used to make these variations from what was on the screen all the time, in the 1990s in Belgium. I have been digging into my archives to try to find things to throw away. Mostly I find things I had forgotten about and that intrigue me. Here is a sample of how the computer rearranged a letter I drafted to Hunter Thompson. As always, when I see these drafts, I am not sure whether I mailed this or s...

Cloud Giclee Art Prints and Prices
Cloud Photographs as Meditative ToolsIt was Bernie Nelson who first detected - in a book review - that I use clouds as a meditative tool. Bernie has just passed away; I will miss his perceptive ability to tie together the clouds and my text on consciousness. But people have long, in fact probably since there were humans, been staring at the clouds and feeling their mood change, feeling themselves a part of nature; seeing faces, images, Some say that a great guru can project images into the cloud...
