that a musicvideo makes me tremble – this is too cool =)

First – this is nothing but a rant I have been having in my head for weeks – now it’s to put it down on paper.

Sometimes when you think about people you meet, you get a a first hand impression that sometimes always last. Last night I met a lady that was very opinionated and I really started to think about where she got all these (in my opinion) wrong assumptions from.

We are being taught that we can either live our lives in love or in fear. This lady lives in fear and distrust of other people. Where did she get this from?. I can’t really give an answer, but I know what works for me and what doesn’t.

I get fear from:

evening news
newspapers
people who are fearful
people who tells me horrifying stories
people who have assumptions about other people and races – before they meet them
people who whine and badmouth other people
people who tells me what I should be and what I shouldn’t be

I get love from:
news about subjects that I find myself, that I find inspirational
books
communities
research
people

So how did she become so opinionated ? – to me it sparked a really interesting thought:

What is called the “personal opinion” is sometimes the “public opinion”.

Now how did that happen ?

it would be really easy for me to say “well I blame the media” – I don’t. I think we should blame ourselves. Seriously. Why are we letting fearsome messages dominate our actions and our beliefs ?. Isn’t it a bit too easy just to have the opinion of the media, when we talk about subjects that we know nothing of ?

Kim Bach told me on jaiku this morning that he missed my blogging. I must admit that I have turned into an “infrequent blogger” lately. There’s just so many other things on my mind these days.
I have found out what I like to do when I take time off. Off the internet, off work and just being me, so these days I am doing a lot of painting, a lot of guitarplaying a lot of remodifying ( t-shirts, furniture, you name it) and a lot of cleaning up on every level of my life. Sounds deep ? well it kinda is. It needs to be if Im gonna keep my calm these days and not getting stressed out.

so what do YOU love to do ? and are you doing it when you are taking time off ?

This weekend I took my favorite man and went on a mental training workshop by Susan Ekberg. It was a real mental kick and I got so much out of it. Among other things she talked about the pulsefrequency of the brain which I want to share with ya’ll.

The pulsefrequency of the brain is how fast your neural network ( neurons in singular) is operating.

When you are awake and in “normal mode” (acting, talking, walking) your pulsefrequency is 21 hertz(beta mode).

when you are deep asleep you’re in deltamode and your pulsefrequency of the brain is about 3-4 hertz

when you are asleep but not deeply you are in tetra mode.

What you really want to achieve as much as possible for your creativity is alfa mode. Alfa mode is a pulsefrequency of 10 hertz. It is best described as being the mode when your body is relaxed to complete harmony, but your not asleep. It is often achieved through meditation. This is supposedly the optimal place to start incubation and creativity.

The nature swings with 10 hertz pulsefrequency – which is probably one of the reasons that one of the cures for stress is to send people tree hugging.

the alfa frequency is also the frequency that the collective intelligence is on.

On my alfa frequency these days I just let things come to me.. and it’s making me a better and more reflective/creative person.

If there’s anyone out there that knows about any books on this subject I would love to hear from you.

In my honest opinion – Pippi longstocking is the closest to a perfect rolemodel for girls. Pippi is the strongest girl in the world, she fight for her own way of living, she does things her own way. in other words – I think that Pippi is the girl I know who is the closest to her own self and her own expression. Lately I have been rereading Germaine Greer’s ” the female eunuk” which -everytime I read it – puzzles me a great deal – bottom line is, whether you like Germaine Greer or not – that you should stay true to yourself and your own beliefs and expression.

My beloved (now deceased) grandfather always taught me that for his sake I could do whatever I wanted in the world… as long as I faced the consequences.
I was taught selfmanagement at the age of 3 and have always been a rebel and a provocateur at large. I don’t like control. when you control people or you let people control you – you loose a little part of yourself, you become fragmented.

That’s why I want to find my inner Pippi- she’s there somewhere – she just got to used to the good life =)
