VERA BIRKENBIHL

Important is the interaction between what I say and what happens inside you, intellectually and emotionally.

It is analogue to art: Everyone has the right to interpret art the way they are able due to their past experiences.

This also applies to my golden words...

What is Love?

What is Love?

  • L - Life. Without cooperation, there is no life.
  • I - Interaction. Love needs two interacting parties: the loving and the loved.
  • E - Entwinement. Hate divides, love unites. When we connect with others, it is through some form of love: romance, friendship, respect, empathy.
  • B - Bond. Love creates bonds with others.
  • E - Energy. Love is the strongest force in the universe. When we hate, we blockade ourselves and others; energy cannot flow.

Affirmations

Affirmations

  • Negative affirmations tend to manifest.
  • Notice your own programs and come back into the Here and Now.
  • Look for your inner programs by reflecting and watching your reactions for 6 weeks: What do you find wrong, mean, impossible, etc.? Write it down.
  • Anti-Joy Program: You may laugh in public only if you are at least 2 people and everyone knows what you are laughing about.
  • Our upbringing "enchants" us.
  • Only the little EGO would wish bad upon others. The soul would never have any such notions. Thus, the motives are small-minded, e.g. envy, vindictiveness, vengence, greed.

Learned Inner Programs

Learned Inner Programs

  • Each society has their own programs on how to behave. We learn these programs in childhood.
  • As long as we are "enchanted", we are bound to play a role according to our learned programs. As long as we are scared to discard these rules, we will never be our true self.
  • Playing our role, we will always be the victim of our learned programs. Trying to do what everyone else expects of us, we will never be satisfied, judging others that have stopped playing by the rules.
  • We can decide not to follow our learned programs.
  • We can accept that others also have the choice to not follow their learned programs.

  • Be thankful.

Law of Resonance

Law of Resonance

If you put positivity into the system, positivity will come back.

If you put negativity into the system, negativity will come back.

Everyone that crosses your path is either a friend or a teacher.

Just as others are our mirror, we are the mirror for others.

What we believe comes true. => Placebo, Nocebo

If you don't love yourself, this notion will reflect to the outside and others will not love you either. It's the resonance you are susceptible for.

The path to our higher self can only be found if we quiet the small ego.

The fixed star - our life goal - nourishes the soul.

Let's give ourself the freedom to react in the here and now how we are currently able to react. If we notice later that we don't like our reaction, we need to be thankful for discovering something we can improve upon. This is way better than to curse the past and spend the rest of the day with a guilty conscience. Who has anything to gain when you live in the past?

When someone criticises you, look them straight in the eyes and say: "That is very interesting. Can you tell me more?"

Either you can gain some insights that can expand your horizons. Or the other one has nothing constructive to say.

Accept yourself the way you are

Accept yourself the way you are

  • The more you live in harmony with your true self, the more things will fall into place that you cannot force to happen. Unexpected chances will open up, advantageous opportunities will be revealed, you will meet the right people at the right time. => Resonance

  • Be more altruistic for your own benefit. => Resonance
  • Household with your energy.
  • Take time to contemplate and reflect.

Love and Knowledge

Love and Knowledge

  • Only two things count: Love in the sense of unconditional love and knowledge in the sense of holistic knowledge about the greater connections.
  • When we practice the "far view", we can reach a state of mind where we suddenly understand everything about certain things all at once.
  • Use love and knowledge as your fixed star to align your smaller goals to.
  • Acceptance instead of resistance: Accept and love your imperfections as long as your inner self is not ready to change. Your imperfections are not the problem, but your own resistance.

Higher life goals bring peace of mind

Higher life goals bring peace of mind

  • Negative formulations are own goals.
  • Object players are stuck on matter. Their development as human being and their relationships to others are thus limited.
  • Object goals should be aligned with your fixed star. Like this your actions are based on your inner self. Then you have a strong foundation that is still large and flexible.
  • When you align your life to the higher things, everything else will follow on its own, because we enter certain energy flows and by resonance we achieve what we want.
  • A road full of potholes takes more time to travel. Fix the potholes before you travel.

  • No matter how, if you come to terms with yourself, the so called problem that keeps coming up will transform.
  • True love creates happiness.
  • When we feel good spiritually, the small ego will feel good also.

Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

  • I can only rise above myself when I accept where I stand today. The more I accept my imperfections, the weaker they will become.
  • When you look inward you will gain more understanding about the outward.

The higher entities once contemplated where to hide "The True" from people.

They went through many different places, until they had an idea where to hide "the most essential" from humans: INSIDE OF THEM!

Only those who look inwards can find it.

Unconditional love does not derive from normal feelings. It is not the result of neuronal and hormonal interaction. Unconditional love comes from the heart. It is an act of the conscious mind. It is our soul that radiates and receives this kind of love.

Receiving unconditional love can heal your soul. Sending unconditional love can heal the recipient. Radiating this love of the soul can heal the world.
