Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram (1858 – 1946) was Bishop of London from 1901 to 1939.

During WWI in February 1915 this 'man of God' addressed the clergymen present in Westminster Church as follows:

"…To save the freedom of the world, to save Liberty’s own self, to save the honour of women and the innocence of children, everything that is noblest in Europe, everyone that loves freedom and honour, everyone that puts principle above ease, and life itself beyond mere living, are banded in a great crusade – we cannot deny it – to kill Germans: to kill them, not for the sake of killing, but to save the world; to kill the good as well as the bad, to kill the young men as well as the old, to kill those who have shown kindness to our wounded … to kill them lest the civilisation of the world should itself be killed".

The good Bishop, who helped recruit tens of thousands of young men who would die in the mud and gore of the trenches ‘for God and England’ collapsed playing golf at the age of 88 and died peacefully two days later.

NL (English below): Het gebeurt zo vaak…

Irritaties, soms zelfs onbewust gevormd.
En vele hebben geen idee, dat dit niets over de ander zegt
De eerste stap is hiervan bewust worden.
Bewust van het feit dat zo’n irritatie meer zegt over onszelf, dan over de ander.
Dat ze als een spiegel zijn en waardevol is omdat het ons iets leert, en ons een beter begrip van onszelf geeft.

Dus bij de volgende keer als jij je aan iets of iemand irriteert, denk dat aan deze wijze woorden van (o.a.) Jung en vraag aan jezelf: wat zegt dit (over) mij?

—
English: It happens so often...

Irritations, sometimes even formed unconsciously.
And many have no idea, that this says nothing about the other person.
The first step is to become aware of this.
Aware that such irritations say more about ourselves, than about the other person. That they are like a mirror and even valuable because it teaches us something, and gives us a better understanding of ourselves.

So the next time you are irritated by something or someone, remember these wise words of (among others) Jung and ask yourself: what does this say (about) me?

NL (English below): We blijven maar zoeken naar doelmatigheid, het liefst nog met zo weinig mogelijk inzet en inspanning, om zo onze wensen en verlangens realiseren.

En uiteraard ook als ik dit koppel aan de psychologie zit hier een waarheid in, maar wanneer we spreken van externe doelmatigheid (i.p.v. interne) is dit volledig anders.
Anders gezegd: zodra we de wegen naar ons doel buiten onszelf gaan zoeken, leven we in een illusie. In een matrix die je vastgrijpt en die buiten jou ware 'zelf' staat.

Het is de illusie van het leven, die maar extern antwoordt, reden en oplossing blijft zoeken om -maar buiten wat er in zichzelf afspeelt- te komen tot zijn of haar doel.

Ik zie dit veel om mij heen, en al zou ik het liever niet willen toegeven, heb ik mij hier vroeger ook machtig aan gemaakt. Zowel cliënten als vrienden die maar wegen blijven zoeken, zonder eerst te kijken naar hun innerlijke wegen, uit angst en gevoel van tijdsgebrek.
In een groter perspectief heeft dit zijn uitwerking in onze gehele huidige maatschappij.

Maar onthou: Jij bepaald... Jij creëert en jij bent de schepper van het Nu en dus kan jij alleen van binnenuit je doel bereiken! Dit staat altijd aan de basis bij aanbod binnen Psych&.

English: We keep looking for efficiency, preferably with as little effort and effort as possible, in order to realize our wishes and desires.

And of course when I link this to psychology there is some truth in this, but when we speak of external efficiency (instead of internal) it is completely different.
In other words, as soon as we start looking for the paths to our goal outside ourselves, we are living in an illusion. In a matrix that grips you and is outside of your true “self.

It is the illusion of life, which continues to seek but external answers, reason and solution to -but outside of what is going on within- reach his or her goal.

I see this a lot around me, and though I'd rather not admit it, I used to power through this as well. Both clients and friends who just keep finding paths, without looking at their inner paths first, out of fear and a sense of lack of time.
In a larger perspective, this has its effect in our entire society today.

But remember: You determine.... You create and you are the creator of the Now and so you can only reach your goal from within! This is always at the root of offerings within Psych&.

Nietzsche spoke this phrase “An external efficacy is an illusion” in response to Kant's work concerns his work and ideas on teleology.
*(Teleology = the search for the purpose/reasons behind things).

Gedicht, door mij geschreven op het dieptepunt van mijn depressie die 32 jaar duurde...

'Gloom so dark, yet born by chance,
A needed weight, a grim expanse,
To reach the dreams that slipped away,
Left to wither, lost in grey.

In thoughts that tore and broke your will,
Shaped with doubt, unsatisfied still,
Molded into what you see,
The self you think is truly thee—
So very small, yet meant to be?'

~ Zohra Boelhouwers ~

"Als mensen het te goed hebben beginnen ze altijd te verlangen naar iets nieuws" - Jacob Grimm.

We wensen iets, werken ernaar toe, genieten er even van.
Maar dan opnieuw verlangen we naar iets nieuws.

Het is de cyclus nooit genoegen.
Maar als een paradox ook die van groei.

Zodra wij ons voor een tijdje goed voelen, is er een wens voor iets nieuws.
Een vernieuwende situatie, een nieuwe gebeurtenis.
Blijven we te lang hangen in dat wat we eerst zo graag wouden, worden we ongelukkig.

English: We desire something, work toward it, enjoy it for a while.
But then again we desire something new.

It is the cycle of never satisfied.
But as a paradox, it is also the cycle of growth.

As soon as we feel good for a while, there is a desire for something new.
A renewing situation, a new event.
If we stay too long in what we first wanted so much, we become unhappy.

NL (English below): We willen zo graag verandering, maar als je dan even doorvraagt….

Ik zie het veel tijdens mijn 1 op 1 sessies, mensen die verlangen naar transformatie. Een andere richting…
Een volgende stap in hun leven.
Maar zodra ik daarop doorvraag, weten ze vaak geen antwoord te geven.

Ze zien niet voorzichtig hoe dat ‘anders’ er dan uit moet zien. Wat dat ‘anders’ dan precies is of zelfs wat ze dan precies wel willen.

Geen enkel probleem natuurlijk, want we komen er wel achter.

Het begint bij jezelf kennen… Wie ben jij nou werkelijk diep van binnen.
It all starts with consciousness!
Zo kom je er (vaak) op magische wijze achter wat je precies verlangt

Weet jij al wat je verlangt?

English: We want change so badly, but then once one asks a little deeper....

I see it a lot during my 1-on-1 sessions, people longing for transformation. A different direction...
A next step in their lives.
But as soon as I question further on that, they often don't know an answer.

They don't carefully see what that 'different' should look like. What exactly that 'other' is or even what exactly they want.

No problem, of course, because we figure it all out.

It all starts with knowing yourself... Who are you really deep inside.
It all starts with consciousness!
This is how you (often) magically find out exactly what you desire

Do you already know what you desire?

Full 9 minute video of orbs outside military base.

The military tried to shoot them down in the video with a rocket and there was NO DAMAGE done…They didn’t even move…

The orbs are unfazed and even crazier is they seem to be emitting something that can only be seen on FLIR.

You can actually see the rocket hit and blow up but the orb doesn’t even move…

This is why we know this is NOT HUMAN TECHNOLOGY.

We don’t know where they came from but this is far superior than anything in our arsenal right now.

Watch for yourself and come to your own conclusion.

To the basis of evil:
Now you may be thinking. This quote, it's nonsense!
But this quote has to do with judging, telling the other person's story.
Let me explain.

Because we look outside ourselves-superficially at the other person's story-we don't have to look at ourselves. (although the over-judging other often serves as an over the mirror to ourselves as well).

There is also no time for focusing on ourselves, our shadows and imbalance.
Our own story is relegated to the unconscious and we tell the story of the other. A story that does not rhyme with our own, out of lack of empathy.
This is the basis of harm.

A good question to ask yourself here is: do I know my story?
Am I conscious of it, or is it tucked away in the unconscious?
Once you know your own story, judgment will quickly disappear, empathy will arise and understanding will take its place.
side-note: an opinion is substantially different from a judgment!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐧!

When another person is having a good laugh, you often have to laugh yourself. When another person yawns, chances are you have to yawn too.
If what you are looking at is sad, you feel it!
When you empathize with the fairy tale, you feel like the main character.

Your radiance is contagious, like the moon reflects the sun’s light!
The moon attracts it so that it seems to shine its own light in the dark!

As contagious and attractive as it is, go shine your own light,
and don’t just snatch it from someone else!
Become aware and wonder at the light of the sun, but go shine like the biggest star in our universe by being your “self”!

Make the unconscious, conscious!
