Is there anything beyond birth and death? I question that there is not. Is birth and death separated from each other?
The most important thing you have to know is that we have three more letters than you.
I have heard that there is something more extended than birth itself. After birth we are here. At one time we are no longer here. Are we living death in past, present and future?
You just have to know it, it’s really simple actually, and we never get it wrong.
Coming to this point in my life, I question my existence. Going on and pretending that I know why I am here is to not me honest to myself.
Being honest to oneself is the path to sustainable Garden of Eden.
Question your answer is to go one step further – to give birth to the answer.
Being aware of the evolution is not to be aware of your existence. Evolution gives birth to our co-existence. Is that all?
Are we dreaming? Do we know when we fly? When do we go? Do we die? Can we live forever? Are you dreaming?” QUESTION! – System of a Down
Seeking an answer is sometimes a process when we go from obscurity to obscurity.
In a specific issue, I can experience that we are trying to prove that our answer is the right answer. We are in many cases forcing ourselves to respond on someone’s statement. When talking with one person, we feel very comfortable with answering things. We know that if the other person would disagree with us, we will be able to debate it with equal power (e.g. 50/50 %).
How do I feel when I question the other person? Even if the knowledge about the specific topic is the same for everyone or not, it could be okay with questioning. A question from one guy must not always be seen as a sign of absence to the topic to the other guy. We can accept that this person is curious about my knowledge and I feel good that this person is interested in what I am talking about. It is also a sign of presence.
How is it if we have a conversation between three people? For example, we can experience that two persons is included in the conversations and one person is excluded. If now the excluded person should ask a question, we can experience it as something annoying. It depends on how the question is asked!
Let’s say that the excluded guy asks the question in a challenging way. I could either feel offended, or I could feel confused. Does this person know more than I do? Often when we feel uncertainty we use our reptilian brain. That part of the brain is where we go when we want to survive. So uncertainty can be a feeling that tells us that we should defend ourselves! Trying to use a “deeper” part of the brain is often a way of dealing with these kind of situations.
Can I see this kind of thinking in society? (Reptilian brain versus “deeper” brain)
Yes I can? I can see it in how people are dealing with crisis. A crisis is something that we feel that we have to defend us to rather than find out the deeper meaning with it. If I should know that the see level should rise five meters and my country should be under water within five years; what should I do? Often, we should use our reptilian brain here. How are we suppose to solve this? What can I do to change myself and what can we do as a collective to change ourselves? Using our deeper part of the brain here, we can focus on the purpose of the crisis. Can we see a meaning why this crisis is happening? Is it a sign that I need to change?
I would suggest that rather than changing what’s bad, improving the things that feel right for you!
According to the climate crisis which is a very serious issue for humanity, we are often trying the “pull the handbrake solution”. Suggestions such as geo-engineering are a great example of that! Geo-engineering is basically about to create places where we can store the pollutions, the carbon dioxide. Doing that, we keep the ice from melting or we keep the sea level from rising etc. Einstein said that “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”. This is exactly what geo-engineering is about. We think that we can find out technologies that stop the climate crisis mainly created by the industrial revolution and the consumption era.
So what is right for you?
Can you see the whole picture? Universal!
YIP – The End Where I Begin
The birth of Consciousness
Consciousness for me is to be aware of yourself and your Self.
One is often conscious about the self but people often forget to be aware of the Self. The Self is our deeper self that in my eyes has an exceptional and crucial vision of the future. The self is our view through past experiences, it is everything we understand. I would say that my “self” is in someway connected to the past. When I came to YIP, I started to be aware of my higher Self.
Consciousness is crucial for our time. We need to be aware of being aware of our connection between the two selves. In our time we can experience environmental crises, war, conflicts, poverty, hunger, unemployment and much more.
The old system that we are a part of is not supporting our own health, neither the health of nature. In a fundamental view it look’s like we are trying to develop technology to solve the deepest issue of humanity!?
I see it as we need to solve it within ourselves.
If we want to get access to the solution within ourselves, we need to face fear, death and pain. This is something really interesting because (maybe) our fundamental picture of these feelings is just the opposit. I believe that we can only achieve life if we can understand our death. We can only feel love when we can understand our hate.
Who to blame?
It is not a failure of a single person or country; it is the lack of our consciousness from an evolutionary view. I would say that wars, poverty and suffering is something that wakes us up. Otherwise we wouldn’t question it.
We can notice that we are breaking down the ecological, social and cultural fields. The core source of our whole evolution is connection. We were born connected to nature but our modern, materialistic lifestyle is separating us. The challenge for mankind today is to find a way for human beings to be a natural part of the world’s ecosystem.
The Age of Information
Hi!
I am now writing as a co-ordinator for Sweden as a part of a Global Youth Panel with 1000 youths from 100 countries. It is a project organized by debatewise.org, and by the British Council is purpose of involving more youths in the questions that arises from the COP15, the UN:s global Climate Summit in Copenhagen in december this year. We will discuss one or two topics each day and every country have a co-ordinator and 10-20 people to represent their country’s stance for the COP15.
I am very excited because I think this is a step towards the future where more young people is having their say in political and environmental questions.I think many of the youths participating in this Panel will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Why Global Youth Panel?
– It’s about to care about the nature and to expand your relationship to the human being through this Age of Information!
I know that a general problem among youths today is that we are sitting too much in front of screens. Hopefully, this will lead to a greater view and a way of getting to know more people on our planet. Hopefully this will raise the awareness among Youths to be more conscious of what problems and walls our politicians is facing in these times of crisis. Hopefully we will start to question this old system and to create our own reality.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL MOVE TOWARDS A SHARED REALITY WHERE YOUTHS FEEL JOY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO CO-CREATE THE NEW WORLD.
A NEW WORLD CHARACTERIZED BY COLLABORATION, PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING.

On the night the 10th of November, I realized that I had been a Mayan in my earlier life. It was so touching that I almost started to cry.
The insight I got was that the life I used to live before was something that I am striving to live now. My connection to the Mayan Underworld is starting to become clear for me. The shining light, the sun, the god is within me. How could I not be aware of something so strong? The Mayan Underworld is stronger than ever now. For each day that pass, the nine gods of Mayan is taking turns to evolve our consciousness to the level of co-creation. The energy of the sacred tzolkin is something that is coming closer to us. Some people may think that it is too far from them. Actually I think it is close as our skin. The robe that I could wear is the one I used to wear in the ancient times, thousands of years back in the evolution. What have we committed to do in the next few years in order to evolve to the stage where it is no war, poverty, conflicts or sickness?
What can I bring within me out from my earlier life? What wants to emerge now?
**Awareness raising social space for evolving co-creation
*A place for letting collaboration to emerge instead of competing
*A place for meditation and conversation
*A place for music and joy
*A place to go when you are feeling stressed or alone
*A place for reintegrate matter and mind
*A place for the future
***Mayan Universal Underworld Pyramid***
I am born Torres, Seed and at the 9th sacred Mayan tone. I consider myself to have patience, perseverance and completion. I have the ability to see the whole picture and find out what communities and individuals need. Completion is crucial for me, as I need it to plant new seeds for others and for myself. I actually give in order to receive. I consider myself a natural networker and a social defender.
How we can evolve Co-Creation
For me, co-creation is how we need to work in the future to co-exist in a sustainable way. Before I can find my place in this process of mind shift that will happen in the next few years, I need to go back and see why I was born. According to the Gregorian calendar I was born the 25th of April 1990. What does that tell me? Why do I need to know this?
According to the Mayan calendar, I am born at 9th Kan. There are 13 sacred day tones and 20 sacred day signs. The 9th day tone is ruled by Aztec, the god of light. The day represents patience, perseverance and completion. Persons born at those days tones have the ability to see the whole picture of things, in all aspects in life. With this energy they will have easier to undertake projects and complete them as completion is crucial for these people. If completion is not attained, suffering and pain will be present for them.
Kan means Seed and it carries a sensual Southern energy. Sensuality, family, sexual activity and the magic germination are the characteristics of this sign. The Seed was, considered by the Maya, the sign that controls the sexual force of the body. Seeds are natural networkers and public defenders that easily find their place in communities. They work toward uniting individuals and communities by uncovering hidden deceptions and secret influences of others. They strive to liberate themselves and others from regularly operate through patterns of the past. That is how they plant new seeds or become seeds themselves. In the lack of gratefulness and the courage to face oneself, Seed finds itself in less fertile environments. To create true prosperity, the Seed must learn to appreciate all the gifts and lessons it receives to direct this learning deep into oneself. There he will be able to find the purpose of the unknown which often causes pain and suffering.
He will create the unknown that we intend to trust upon in the future. It will be a social space in which people will gather to co-create the future characterized by peace, justice and joy.
The space I intend to create is only based on assumptions from the future, not through past experience. The guide I will follow is the one of Pleiadeans – the name given to what are said to be a group of extraterrestrials from the Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus, approximately 400 light years from Earth. Some refer to them as Nordic aliens. Their home planet is said to be called Erra, and various descriptions of their appearance have been given by those who claim to have been in contact with them.

HUMAN BEING
Our human history brings us back around 200.000 years ago according to which source we look upon. If we are looking at the modern human being, scientists think that she has existed in 130.000 years. However, that’s almost nothing if we look at the whole evolution as far as the Mayans know it. The cellular cycle started 16,4 billions years ago, right after the so called “big bang”. Whether you believe it or not, according to my understanding, the human being is living on the earth at this time and place. TIME AND PLACE. I would say that human beings were created when the first human was banished from the Garden of Eden. Garden of Eden was created by the evolution. Garden of Eden has the intention to collaborate with humanity forever.
What is that force that is keeping us alive at this point? Do we believe in wonders? Can we do the unthinkable? What is our imagination coming from? What is our purpose on earth? How do we connect with animals and nature?
I see these questions as part of my understanding what the cycle of human beings is about. We make an understanding of things as far as our evolution reaches our minds. People that are without their time’s evolution of consciousness are the people we see as “crazy”; People that were before there time – People that were surprising themselves. Where did that come from? Why didn’t I go to America instead of Africa? Did I say that?
* I believe that if we understand our evolution, it leads us to understand and discover the needs of the future.
* I believe that many people know what is needed for humanity evolve in our society – To become more “humans”.
* I believe that people don’t know how to co-create a new future characterized by peace, love and understanding, yet!
* I believe that children nowadays have been born with that knowledge. How do we create the right education for them would people ask themselves? That would be the question that we put our effort in. I would say that children in future do not need education (as we look upon education in society today). Instead, I would say that if we are aware about them, they will be aware about what they need to evolve and develop. If I question an object, I question something within myself. If children are asking questions, they will always get an answer from themselves. It doesn’t matter if we are poor or rich. It doesn’t matter which race we are. It doesn’t matter if we are black or white. What matters is how we are dealing with our understanding of one another’s understanding of evolution.
NATURE – AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS
Things I know is things that if feel passionate about. Nature is strongly connected to human beings. I rather say that everything is connected. The four elements is the source of everything! I believe that in everything we can see and touch is a creation of the four elements. Therefore I would say that it is super important that we are connected with the four elements, with nature. Maybe people will answer, what else could we connect to if everything is connected to the four elements? The question I would ask myself is: Is the four elements containing evilness? I would say it does. That is why we need to evolve, that is why we are creating and working for a better world ALL THE TIME. It is always moments when we are processing. The evolution is a process with no destination. Things changes and human beings need to change with it. If we don’t believe in time, believe in nature.
The nature is the perpetual observer of things. The one and ONLY way we can learn about our evolution of consciousness is from the nature. We were created from earth. We breathe the air. We drink the water. We learn from the fire.
Individuals are no longer people with independence. They are people depending on the social society.
Individuals are depending on the experts. The experts are actually human creations who is relaying on the real facts in life. If we are not experiencing the real facts in life ourselves, we will have hard time to understand the real issues in our time. The issues of the reality is something that we, human beings, have co-created. The only way of solving these issues is to solve our social issue in ourselves. The social issue is something that we are not concisely dealing with ourselves. It’s the experts who are dealing with our social issues and creating that image of our social issues as a climate crisis, a financial crisis, war and poverty!
The whole system is just the picture of the drawer. The drawer is you and me. WE are the only one who can change that picture! We will create an open social space where we can see the picture together. We will have to reflect, surrender, reshape it and co-create it!
Today we are living in a society where some of the negative effects of our western lifestyle are so terrible that we don’t want to think about them. I would like to say that it is the death of Capitalism. Even if we think about it, few people are doing anything about it. I am showing you the linear system that we are a part of:
Resources => Production => Distribution => Consumption => Disposal =>
Watch the illusion of this very issue: http://www.storyofstuff.com/
We have leftovers after each stage in this figure. The population in United Stage are 5% of the world’s total population but they are using 30 % of the resources. It is almost the same in Europe. Right now we can see that the developing countries are developing towards our lifestyles. If that would happen, we would run out of resources very fast. For example China, India and Brazil are developing faster than ever and they want to reach our standard of living. The financial crises are beginning to be a serious issue for the whole planet. It is not about money, it is showing us the need of a new system. It is proven that this system is too old.
We need to create a sustainable future based on matter and spirit, not materialism. Finding purpose in front of gaining confirmation. I will tell you more about my thoughts how to shape a new education system which is based on “finding purpose for every individual”.
Theory U – Otto Scharmer
- Recall and React
an Introduction by Jonas Darin
In today’s society we often use the wrong methods when dealing with problems. When we are failing, instead of looking at ourselves we are looking at the system itself. To become aware of this judgement of the “it” is a great challenge for the human being in our modern society. It is too hard for us to look at our own source. Instead we often look at the process or the result of it. This could be pictured as we look to the pointer, not at the view!
One could say that it’s two main strategies which is used in business today. We are going into the work conscious of our limits. We are therefore acting unconscious of our real skills. I could say that we are “struggling through”. When people are observing this we can see that something is wrong. I mean that people who look at politicians today doest really feel that they are doing enough. Often, that is what I would call the misunderstanding of your understanding. If you can understand somebody, you can understand your source in which that person used to make that impact in you. For example if I can understand Mark when he talks about Football, then I can understand my source that I used to act from when I think about Football. This can also be presented in a bigger perspective. For example if a criminal is doing something really terrible, it is rarely happened that you and me would understand him. It is because we haven’t understood our hate in ourselves yet. I would say that if we can understand were our hate evolves within ourselves – then we can start to understand people like Adolf Hitler, George Bush and Brad Pitt. In short, if we are aware of our hate, we can love the human being.
After observing this “struggling through” in politics and business, we can see the other mainstream, the people who is “fighting back”. This is so obvious in politics today. Instead of seeing possibility in helping each other, seeing each others skills and abilities, we are “protecting ourselves” and “attacking” the others. Otto Scharmer calls this the “social field” and has unique insights in how it arises and evolves.
Sadly it does not evolve. This “protecting” and “attacking” tactic is a common problem in families, organizations, politics and social groups. When we are listening, we are only hearing the things that we already have heard before. We are using pictures from our past to reconstruct the sense of what we are hearing in real-time. This means that we are only being reminded of these things we already knew about. A change effort that arises in this level of awareness is often an intention to change the system or other people.
Often when something is going bad, we are blaming the system instead of looking at ourselves. Why?
It was “I” or “we” that created this system for fudge sake!
When our level of attention moves deeper, the change process moves deeper. This will often lead to a longer change process but the goal will be reached! The whole process of reaching the goal demands an open mind, open heart and open will. But still, an open mind is not the answer of transferring this consciousness into action. We need to put even more awareness in what we really want to do, in our heart. Then it’s just about to get started! Do not try to run around the obstacles, one must be aware of one’s obstacles and walls and then one could overcome them! We jump, and we jump really high and the fall will be even more exciting.
We have enough people who are aware of the failure of the system that it is enough to create a systematic change. But the fact is that they are still part of the system. Therefore we can’t expect a different result if we are using the same strategy over and over again. This is why “open will” is the hardest stage of awareness. We often realize that it is something that we must do. But how should we do it? Where should we start? People often start capitalizing here and turning back to their “normal, unconscious self”. Thijs had a very clear example of that. When we are realizing that we actually could do something for the health of the world, we are often withdrawing instead of turning into action.
The book Theory U will guide you through these movements and the different questions that arise in each stage.
