I know many people who either disagree with my views on spirituality, or who are so afraid of my activities and views that they will not even open my website. They do not know what I do or believe, but they know it is “wrong” and they stay as far away from me as possible.

I am quite OK with that – my mission is not to convert the world. We all have our own beliefs, and some people have more fears and prejudices than others to overcome.

For me it is wrong to try and convince or convert other people. However, there are practical situations where my beliefs are tested. I love these situations, because if my beliefs do not pass the test, then I have to search further for the truth and dig deeper until the situation makes sense to me.

I stay away from Western doctors and medication, because I have researched the topic and understand the dangers that the pharmaceutical industry expose us to. When I have an ache or pain, I find the metaphysical cause, deal with it and make the changes that are required in my thinking and my lifestyle. That is my belief and it works for me.

Somebody close to me believes that the doctor is there to give prescriptions that takes aches and pains away. Now different doctors give different prescriptions that result in, in my opinion, a dangerous chemical cocktail. From a distance I can clearly see that the result of this cocktail in an old, unwell person is increased delusions and dementia. But in that situation I am not a doctor, I am not even a Christian, and I live on the other side of the world, so my opinion “does not count”.

Do I step back and say that I will not convince other people of my beliefs? Or do I step in and say stop the madness and for once listen to me?

I did act. I asked questions and I was promised answers – they will talk to the doctor. This will not change their worship of the doctor as the one who brings relief, but at least the doctor will have to provide some answers and re-think those prescriptions and the side-effets. I will ask questions until I get answers that make me sleep at night. And I accept that someone who has never taken ownership for his body and thoughts will not do it now to please me – especially when he no longer has the clarity of mind to have even a simple conversation. If I insist on taking all the medication away, it will be seen as a loveless act.

The other thing I do is send unconditional love and healing – I do not need permission or explanation to do that, and I know that no matter what is said on the surface, spiritually we speak the same language of Love. And it is possible to neutralize the medication by focusing on his good health. Nobody can prevent me from doing that and I know it works – so I have to work harder with meditation and healing.

Spirituality has to work when we want to save the planet, as well as on a day-to-day basis. Being up in the clouds only works up to a point, and then we have to practice what we preach – or change our preachings.
