Foundation

The union of opposites

MER · KA · BA

Two opposing forces, active and receptive, unite into one. They represent the harmonic motion of body (KA), mind (BA) and light (MER).

MER-KA-BA = Light-Body-Mind field. The union of doing and being, thinking and feeling, masculine and feminine creates inner clarity, peace and strength.

Diagnosis

Everyday challenges

What we meet today

No time to breathe. We race through days that leave no place to pause. Old ideas rub against who we have long since become. Burnout at twenty-three, before life has properly begun. And over it all the sentence „don't be so sensitive“, which clears a feeling away instead of hearing it.

Add the pile of paper that never shrinks. Training that speaks of yesterday. The screen that still glows after hours. Work and life, run together like wet paint. And beside it the private life that takes no break. Much noise, little substance. It is not one great misfortune, it is a hundred small ones that add up to exhaustion.

Root

Cognitive dissonance

Coping with other truths

An old term in psychology for a very familiar feeling: the discomfort when two convictions in us do not fit together. The mind holds on to both, and the body feels the rift, sometimes into the shoulders, into sleep.

To be rid of the tension, we quickly split the world into „sense“ and „nonsense“, and whoever thinks differently lands on the wrong side. The quieter way is another: Don't fight the symptoms, meet the challenge at its root. For the root is rarely the other opinion. It is the fear of no longer being whole oneself.

Principle I

I AM YOU

Unity with the source

Every person carries the source within and is part of a greater whole. Recognizing this unity may lead to a higher state of awareness.

Self-perception and inner inquiry: through deep reflection on your own existence, a deeper connection to the source can emerge.

Principle II

YOU ARE I

The mutual source

The source exists in every person, not only in oneself. Understanding this mutual relationship may foster compassion and ekpathy.

Compassion and connection: the emotional acknowledgment of the source in the other can lead to genuine connection. Ekpathy (empathy with boundaries) helps others find their own way to the source and to trust the other's process.

Principle III

I AM ALL

The all-encompassing source

The source may be present in every aspect of the universe: from the smallest particle to the largest cosmos. Everything is part of the source.

Interconnection: everything in the universe is connected and influences itself reciprocally. This insight may foster mindfulness and respect for life.

Principle IV

THE AWAKENING

Recognition and self-realization

Awakening means: to see through the illusions of everyday life and recognize the deeper truth of existence. This ongoing process may lead to self-knowledge and inner peace.

Overcoming barriers: mental, physical and emotional blocks obscure the truth. Through their dissolution, clarity and the development of awareness may emerge.

Principle V

THE WINDOW TO REALITY

Shifted perception

How we perceive the world shapes our understanding of reality. A shifted perception can reveal deeper truths.

The physical world is often distorted by illusion and misperception. Through meditation and mindfulness, the true nature of reality may be recognized.

Principle VI

CONNECTING LINK

The essence of being

Exploring the true essence of being may lead to a deeper understanding of your own existence and of the source of all being.

Awareness of the connection to the unknown deepens the understanding of the inner world and brings inner peace. Equanimity and humor may emerge on the shared holodeck of life.

Principle VII

BEING, AS IT IS

Simple being

The state of simple being means accepting life as it is, without resistance or attachment. This may lead to inner peace.

To live in the flow of the unknown is to surrender to the natural rhythm of the universe.

Principle VIII

THE UNION

Realization of the source

Every person carries the potential of the source within and may realize it through awareness and practice. This may lead to a life of harmony and peace.

Living by the highest principles of the inner world: compassion, love and wisdom.
