My heart is my home.

I listened to two interviews with Barbara Marx Hubbard this weekend. One of Integral Enlightenment with Craig Hamilton, here. He started a new series and you can subscribe here.  
The other one was with Claire Zammit of Women on the Edge of Evolution, here. (To subscribe go here)   Especially in the second interview it is very clear to me that Barbara is a woman (of 80 years) who is very often inside the vortex. She is a seer who talks about where we’re going. Beautiful interviews with so many great visions and insights. I recommend everybody to listen!   In that second interview they also talk about the American dream, that everybody has a house, their own home. The first thing I thought is, that’s right, only it was taken literally. A real house. When we look at that symbolically the own home is my heart, my inner being, who is home everywhere.  Where ever I lay my head, that’s my home, as the song says. With the ‘example role’ America does it is great to see that is what we do. The inner journey to ‘my heart is my home’.  I was pondering a bit on that and at that moment my daughter turned the TV louder with a concert of the Jonas Brothers.  :D I took my headphone and thought, a bigger house, (literally ) is in my vortex. At the same time I think about (and feel) my own calmness, my ability to focus and to concentrate, the value and the the appreciation of the moment now, of my live as it is now. In my minds eye I see a picture of American houses who are ‘normally’ big and I  notice, that much space doesn’t exist in the Netherlands, and I think, with a very big population on earth as we have now, as Barbara also says in that conversation, we can’t do anything else then experiencing that space in ourselves, inner space, inside the vortex, to experience that space on earth. In the vortex it all fits perfectly and grand, outside the vortex hardly or not at all. I noticed I had felt difficulty with demanding so much space for me, and my daughter , which from outside the vortex looks like demanding something while there is not enough. With insights like this I feel myself inside the vortex much easier and faster with my desire of a bigger house and more space. It was a resistance I hadn’t notice clearly yet, even though I had noticed there was resistance somewhere. I still live in this house while I feel the desire to move for quite some time now.   Almost at the end of the interview with Claire Zammit and Barbara Marx Hubbard I notice I ‘can’t’ ignore anymore the constant use of the word ‘need’. We need this and what is needed is that. I noticed Americans use the word need a lot and it gives me a feeling of ‘not right’. An ‘off’ feeling. I also get slightly rebellious, I don’t need anything, it is all already here. Or, I want! What need? No need, I want it.   Words vibrate something and I got a thing with language, words and what and how we say things. I thought lets take a look at what the dictionary says. 
 
v. require; be in distress, be under hardship; be obligated
n. necessity, requirement; shortage of an indispensable item; distress, hardship   And the dutch translation is the same.   I’ve been saying for a long time already that I don’t use this sort of words in that way. Now, with the series ‘Inside the vortex’ from Abraham Hicks I understand even more that what I always feel is right. An outside of the vortex leaning, out of the inner being leaning story gives words like need. Or trying. Or protection.  So it is more a step 1, a question. And the answer is inside the vortex. In my inner all, All that Is. While I was listening I noticed that with ’need’ they really say, we are inspired to. That would make the whole story more inside the vortex than outside the vortex. Not, it is needed to come together as in a shortage, more it inspires such plans.  ‘This question inspires me with this idea and this vision. This is what I see where we’re going.’
Or as Barbara says with being attractive; the question attracts this sort of ideas or directions. I’m attracted to this idea, this path, with this question. That attracts this direction for me. It draws this idea on. I think it is a beautiful way to say things in English, it feels good and full, in movement.   In the dutch language we don’t use the word ‘need’ as often as Americans, we use ‘must’ a lot. I say mostly ‘we want to share’, not ‘we need to share’, or as the dutch say, we must share’.  Or I say something is useful. Or looks useful. Feels useful.  Not necessary, not needy, not required, obligated. Rather fantastic, a beautiful option from lots of possibility’s. The best path seen from here.  In dutch I would say something like, it would be fantastic (and the word fantastic feels really good because my fantasy feels inside the vortex for me, in my inner being, the dreamer, the shaman, the seer, the alchemist) when we would come together more blah blah, with examples of possibility’s I see.

 

I’m attracted now, full of eagerness, to use ‘inspired to’ in English, and to notice how that will come out of me in the dutch language.
