WANN IST DIE ROMANTIK SCHWARZ? Am  9. Juni 2012  endete im  Musée d‘Orsay  in  Paris  die Ausstellung  Schwarze Romantik , die erste umfassende Ausstellung zur  dunklen Romantik  in Deutschland. Zu sehen waren Werke von  Goya  bis  Max Ernst . Gezeigt wurde auch ein Gemälde von Caspar David Friedrich. Bis dahin war für mich unklar, was bei Friedrich unter schwarzer oder dunkler Romantik läuft. Nun, es soll das Bild  Meeresküste bei Mondschein  sein. Caspar David Friedrich: Meeresküste im Mondschein. Um 1835, Öl auf Leinwand, 170 x 135 cm, Kunsthalle Hamburg

  Harry Houdini (March 24, 1874 – October 31, 1926) He first attracted notice as "Harry Handcuff Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to hold his breath inside a sealed milk can. In 1904, thousands watched as he tried to escape from special handcuffs commissioned by London's Daily Mirror, keeping them in suspense for an hour. Another stunt saw him buried alive and only just able to claw himself to the surface, emerging in a state of near-breakdown. While many suspected that these escapes were faked, Houdini presented himself as the scourge of fake magicians and spiritualists. As President of the Society of American Magicians, he was keen to uphold professional standards and expose fraudulent artists. He was also quick to sue anyone who pirated his escape stunts. Houdini made several movies, but quit acting...

Wist je dat huilen eigenlijk een heel genezende en spirituele ervaring kan zijn? Het is een prachtige manier om stagnerende en onaangename energie los te laten, vooral als je empathisch bent. We zijn duidelijk geconditioneerd om huilen als zwakte te zien, maar in andere culturen wordt huilen feitelijk collectief gezien als een zeer verhelderende ervaring. In Japan hebben ze zelfs lessen (genaamd "rui-katsu", wat zich vertaalt naar "tranen zoeken") gewijd aan regelmatige huilsessies om mensen een veilige ruimte te bieden om hun moeilijkere emoties te verwerken. Zelfs tranen van vreugde kunnen zeer energetisch zuiverend en opbeurend voor de geest zijn. Onthoud dit de volgende keer dat je moet huilen. Je bent niet zwak. Er is een echt sterk persoon voor nodig om kwetsbaar te zijn in de wereld van vandaag.

Wat ooit het mooiste was wat ik mij kon voorstellen moeder zijn is mijn grootste verdriet geworden. Nooit gedacht dat zoiets als genegeerd worden zoveel met een mens kan doen. Dacht toen ik mijn ouders kwijt raakte toen ze overleden, mijn wereld zou instorten. Nou dat is niet te vergelijken met wat er gebeurt, als je door je kind zo behandeld wordt, dan dat je niet voor ze bestaat. Ouders die overleden zijn, kan je later accepteren omdat het leven zo is.....maar DIT! Wat een hardheid kan er in een mens zitten . Waar komt dat toch vandaan vraag je je af, als jezelf niet zo bent? Probeer sterk te zijn, mijn leven weer op te pakken na vele jaren verdriet. Kies nu voor mijzelf  om toch nog iets van het leven te maken . Hoop dat het gaat lukken ook al is het zwaar.

VERTROUWEN...Op dit moment verliezen veel mensen het vertrouwen. Vertrouwen in jezelf, vertrouwen in de economie, werk en vooral gezondheid. Deze kaart geeft aan om toch te blijven Vertrouwen op en in jezelf. Je bent zoveel krachtiger dan je zelf denkt. Vergeet dat nooit lieve mensen. Dus...blijf VERTROUWEN in je doelen, je werk, in jezelf en op je intuïtie niet te vergeten... Affirmatie...Laat mij mijzelf op allerlei manieren vol vertrouwen en vrede voelen. Hier is eigenlijk niets aan toe te voegen...blijf VERTROUWEN. Mooie dag lieverds Xxx

Prudhoe Castle in Northumberland, England Bult as part of a series of Norman Castles along the Tyne after the 1066 Norman conquest, Prudhoe was continuously occupied for over nine centuries.

De engelen vragen niet om een speciale benadering. Het enige wat ze van je nodig hebben is jouw toestemming om iets voor jou te doen. Engelen werken energetisch, brengen tekens en boodschappen of een bepaald gevoel, maar ze mogen niets doen wanneer jij hun geen toestemming geeft. Ze staan altijd voor je klaar en weten wat jij mag leren in dit leven. Ze kennen de lessen van je ziel, dat waar jij voor hebt gekozen. Ook daar zullen ze niets aan veranderen. Maar ze kunnen je wel inzichten brengen waardoor jij anders tegen een situatie aan gaat kijken en een andere beslissing neemt. We leven in een systeem waarin de Vrije Wil bestaat, wat betekent dat jij altijd degene bent die besluiten mag nemen, stappen mag maken. Niemand kan je daarin dwingen zonder je toestemming. De boodschappen, tekens en inzichten zijn altijd liefdevol en ondersteunend, maar kunnen ook confronterend zijn. Engelen kennen geen drama. Zodra jij ze aanroept staan ze voor je klaar. En ze hebben geen speciale rituelen of ...

Caerphilly Castle in Wales, is a vast 13th century stronghold built to defend against Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. Today, managed by Cadw, it presents some of the most magnificent examples of medieval architecture, and provides a glimpse into Wales’ fraught history. Begun in around 1268 and mostly complete by 1271, Caerphilly Castle’s imposing medieval architecture and 30 acre span was intended to mark English authority in Wales, and is thought to have inspired some of Edward I‘s ‘iron ring’ of castles. Built by English nobleman Gilbert de Clare to maintain his hold on the historic county of Glamorgan, Caerphilly was the second largest castle in Britain after Windsor, and only heightened tensions between de Clare and the native Welsh population. Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, the last Welsh Prince of Wales, twice tried to set the castle alight while still under construction, and in the following decades continued to fight English rule. When Llewelyn was killed in 1282 however, Caerphilly ...

Turku Castle is a medieval castle in the city of Turku in Finland. Together with Turku Cathedral, the castle is one of the oldest buildings still in use and the largest surviving medieval building in Finland. It was founded in the late 13th century and stands on the banks of the Aura River. The castle served as a bastion and administrative center in Eastland, as Finland was known during its time as a province of Sweden. Only once did the castle figure in the defense of the realm, when Russian invaders from Novgorod destroyed Turku in 1318. It more frequently played a role in internal struggles for power within Sweden and the Kalmar Union. The castle's heyday was in the mid-16th century during the reign of Duke John of Finland and Catherine Jagellon. That was when the Renaissance Floor and King's and Queen's hall were built, along with other features. It lost its status as an administrative center in the 17th century after Per Brahe's period as governor-general of Finlan...

ZEUG...op de foto is duidelijk te zien dat deze kaart gaat over eten. Er zijn tarwe en gerst velden te zien en de biggen eten hun lievelingseten de beukennootjes.

Ook al zijn we met ons alle op onszelf aangewezen deze kaart geeft toch aan dat er betere tijden komen. De natuur is al aan het vernieuwen (lente) nu wij nog.

Jung thought that whatever its roots in previous experience, neurosis consists of a refusal – or inability – in the here and now to bear legitimate suffering. Instead this painful feeling or some representation of it is split off from awareness and the initial wholeness – the primordial Self – is broken. Such splitting ultimately derives from the apparent impossibility of affirming the whole of one's nature and gives rise to the range of dissociations and conflicts. - Donald Sandner and John Beebe, Psychopathology and Analysis. In Jungian Analysis, edited by Murry Stein (Splitting, Possession, and Working Through). The unconscious is repressed, and a person ends up in an energic impasse. With energy being used for such a narrow range of activities and for defenses against the sealed-off unconscious, much of life's possibilities for wholeness and satisfaction are denied. - Murray Stein, Jung's Map of the Soul: An Introduction (Emergence of the Self: The Five Stages of Consci...
