When I’m caught up in stressful thinking, feeling sad or anxious or frustrated, it can seem like there is no other option available. No matter how hard I try, no matter how closely I look, I can’t seem to find any solution or anything helpful. And I certainly can’t find any nice feeling. It’s like an optical illusion. Have a look at the picture below - let’s say you can only see the old woman. Now you can go and try very hard, stare at it closely, get very tensed and try to shift it,...

Yesterday evening my mind was pretty busy and my thinking was going very fast. For a while I fell into the trap of trying to get in there and sort it out. 'What’s going on there? Where does all the thinking come from? Could I change it into ‚nicer‘ thinking? Maybe I could stop it all together or at least slow it down?' … You get the gist. Then I realized I was messing with the system. Engaging in more thinking to try and stop the thinking does only one thing: It adds more thinking. And...

I came across these quotes by Albert Einstein today and I'm kind of flabbergasted! In a good way! What he is saying seems to fit perfectly with everything I learned from Syd, at some points he is literally saying the same things. In reading this it became so clear to me, that the Principles are really pointing to a universal truth about life. I hope you'll enjoy these as much as I did . “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been...

I love this quote from Syd. I think it's the only saying that comes close to an 'instruction', that I ever came across in the three principles community. Since being around the 3P I heard this again and again and it's interesting for me to notice how the way I'm hearing it keeps changing. In the beginning I skimmed right past the 'nice feeling' part. Listening to truth sounded way more interesting. I pretty much thought it meant listening to someone else, telling me about truth. And I believed...

During the last weeks I had some thoughts popping up in my head again and again. You can see them below :) I'm not sure if I can explain what they mean to me, but they came with a very peaceful feeling, so I thought I'd share them anyway ... Maybe they bring up some nice feelings for you too. 'Stuff moves, not Time' One evening shortly before bedtime I was sitting in my comfy reading/netflixing chair and listening to some very beautiful and quiet music. I looked around and suddenly it felt to...

Yesterday there was a lovely webinar with George and Linda Pransky. They shared about how their life and their relationship has changed since meeting Syd. Something George said really struck me, it was something like 'Before I met Syd I thought the solution is being effective'. That sounds very familiar to me and it made me wonder ... It feels to me like I never even questioned the fact that 'effectiveness' is very very high up on my list of priorities. It just seems 'right' and 'normal' to me....

Last week someone told me that I always seem to be so settled and calm (thank you!). It made me think I should share some of my not so 'settled and calm' experiences too ... I fell right into one of my 'favorite' rabbitholes during the last two weeks, and even though it's a familiar one, it took me quite a while to notice it. I've been doing pretty well in general since quite a while now, I still experience a certain amount of general muscle pain and have to rest regularly every day, but most...

I noticed a nice change for me during the last months, regarding my thinking. When I first started learning about the 3P, the idea of experiencing pain and not be constantly thinking about it seemed impossible (maybe even ridiculous) to me. I couldn't imagine how that could work - after all I was reminded of it all the time. In other areas of my life it was easier for me to see that thought is fluid and changes on its own. But the evaluating of the pain and trying to figure it out (why is it...

Chances are if I asked you what you see on the picture on the left, your answer would be 'a little black dot'. Which is kind of interesting, because there isn't just a little black dot - there is empty white space WITH a little black dot in one spot. Consciousness does that. Zooming in on stuff. I find that very interesting. You know how it's almost impossible to NOT glance at the TV when it's running? And, on the other hand, how you sometimes are so caught up in reading a book, that you...

I'd like to say a heartfelt 'Thank You' today. One year ago today Chana Studley contacted me on facebook and introduced me to the 3P. I was quite desperately struggling with chronic pain back then and learning about the 3P literally opened up a whole new world for me. During this last year I have been so deeply touched by all the love, the support and the friendship I've experienced from Chana, from other 3P teachers and from this whole community. My life has been truly changed and I'm so very...
