Tackling Illusions

Several kinds It may be difficult for many who are suffering from one illusion to be compared with other people who suffer from another Read the full article…
Facts, Facts, Facts in Medicine
Although we forever live in an age of uncertainty, facts are, of course, super important. We need to avoid errors and, above all, bias. Bias doesn’t lead to one error, but a range of them. Most of all, we need to be on the lookout for a fundamental bias. In medicine, there is a fundamental Read the full article…
43. A Pillow Full of Sleep, a Head that Roams the Late-Night Corridors
A good night’s sleep requires respect for nature within you. One cannot simply fall asleep based on a mere act of will, such as by snapping your fingers or closing your eyes. That would be easy, of course. But it’s not. One can take care of the surroundings, though, lay down, eyes closed. Ultimately sleep Read the full article…
Healing Yourself is Healing the Planet
There seems to be no other way to ‘heal the planet,’ so we better take this seriously. As a mindset Many bits make a big? Or, each person wants to be the chosen one who saves the planet? I intend with the title a mindset, a conviction, a promise ― frustrationless desire as a regular Read the full article…
40. The Tough Concept of ‘Acceptance’
‘Acceptance’ has two different meanings. One leads to helplessness. The other leads to self-sufficiency. Once it was commonplace: People had to learn to accept chronic pain (and suffering in general) by the will of God, willingly or unwillingly. People had to ‘learn to live with it.’ In an era where there were no painkillers, people Read the full article…
Strong Love
To be loving, but not in a weak way. Not Mr. Nice Guy. To love without pampering too much. To be there and to dare. To ask for sure and to be able to give a lot. No comfortable numbness unless on Sunday ― sometimes. To influence, to create remembrance. To be a stronghold for Read the full article…
The Tower and the Swamp
Regular medicine is like an unassailable tower. Alternative medicines are like a swamp nearby that continually shifts and is therefore ungraspable. OF COURSE, THIS TEXT IS NOT ABOUT THE TOTALITY OF REGULAR MEDICINE, BUT THE PART WHERE HUMAN DEPTH IS INVOLVED. I didn’t find a picture of swamp + ivory tower. Please use your imagination, Read the full article…
Why AURELIS is no Therapy
The difference is fundamental in aim and means. What is ‘therapy’? An ill person goes to someone in search of a cure. What he wants is good therapy that brings him back to the state without illness. Therapy is what accomplishes this feat. AURELIS? AURELIS does not bring the ill person back to the state Read the full article…
Vincent
Details It’s not easy. You might look at the stars and see them and see they are alive. You might look at people and flowers and see them. You might look at pain and see it. You might feel like a rabbit in an empty hall. You might create something when you’re inspired and feel Read the full article…
Magical Medical Science
Did we get rid of magic in medical science? Should we? Why? How? About the weirdly snaked figure above This is frequently used as a symbol for medicine. It is a ‘rod of Asklepios,’ going back to Greek and Egyptian times. Thus, we end in settings of musterion. [see: “Isis’ priests, named ‘therapists’”] Time to Read the full article…
Why People Want Magic
People have always wanted magic. Many continue doing so even in this ‘age of rational thinking.’ We should have gotten rid of it long ago. Of all times. In the New Testament, followers didn’t follow Jesus so much as they were following the miracle man. From the beginning (and even right before) till the end, Read the full article…
41. No Psyche in COVID? – Or no COVID without Psyche?
Sad song November 5, 2021 Daily Total Cases worldwide 484.847 248.798.420 Deaths worldwide 7.830 5.036.760 Problem To me, each relatively easily preventable death is shameful.

Letting Yourself Go
To many people, this is a tricky part of meditating or any meditative exercise. Nevertheless, it is crucial. Without letting go, there is only a staying put. Involved in properly ‘letting go’ are depth and rationality. Meditative stance Without the big endeavor to meditate oneself into nirvana, a meditative stance is an everyday life way-of-being Read the full article…
Collision versus Overlap
This is about two ways of being a human being, as an individual and a social being. It goes all the way from deep inside the brain to the ordering of society. Collision: from the outside, entities clash with other entities. Overlap: Entities learn to know other entities from the inside without losing themselves ― Read the full article…
Fate
Accepting one’s fate may be very beautiful if it comes from deep inside. Any other kind is worth little. An animal runs away from a predator. The predator grabs it. The animal struggles and dies. It all happens in a short time. Until the last moment, there is little question of fate as far as Read the full article…
The ‘Auto’ in Autosuggestion
Four letters ― a world of difference within them. Suggestion So friendly and so close and overlapping that there is a spontaneous reaction before you consciously know it. This is the aim of AURELIS autosuggestion. There is no coercion involved at all. [see: “Autosuggestion versus Hypnosis”] Please, will you do this for me ― which Read the full article…
Autosuggestion versus Hypnosis
People ask me about this. I see a fundamental difference related to a spontaneous flow – or not – of free will. Hypnotic suggestion Hypnosis is real and scientific in the sense that many scientific hypnotic organizations exist in many countries. I studied at one of them in my country, Belgium. One can get a Read the full article…
