Recently I heard about the oldest tree in the forest near where we live. It’s an oak and it’s humbly hidden between the other trees, but rather exceptionally standing in the exact middle of a tiny little island. The ‘island’ is encircled by a shallow brooklet which is usually dry in summer so you can easily pass without getting wet or even muddy. A good friend showed me the way and together we went there to have a telepathic interview with the big oak.
Who can spot
the two little gnomes in this picture?
(my niece and nephew came along with me
when I went back to the oak to take
pictures)
Beautiful oak, did you consciously choose to come and live here on this island?
Do you have a certain responsibility here? What do you do?
I am keeper of the forest. I take
care of a piece of forest and carry
responsibility for its wellbeing. For
that reason I stand where I am if you
like, but I was not born for this
task; it is mine because of my age.
Every tree is capable of taking
responsibility once he or she gets of
age. That’s because we receive
information from the sun; the more
years we lived the richer we are in
sun-knowledge and we can then
transform into responsibility. It’s an
energy we absorb when we are young and
emit as we grow older.
The sun is an underestimated force;
she does much more than we think and
we should make much more use of her.
Saying ‘we’ I mean people because we
trees already do so. ‘You’ in fact,
but I don’t like to talk in this kind
of distant manner. You and me, we and
you, there is not so much difference
except that there are differences. I
know what I have to do and my life is
much more straightforward and simple
than the life of a human being.
People like to make everything
complicated, and that is their right,
it has certain advantages too but a
lot of people are unbridledly
complicated and so forget themselves
and that is in fact really not
positive for them. Simplicity is to a
certain extent really indispensable
for the life of a whole human being. I
mean that when you live outside of
yourself because you don’t really know
anymore who you are because you are
running ahead of yourself and because
you live your life in function of the
world then you are only partly human
and that is not a pretty sight.
A person who is himself because he or
she chooses for the things he or she
really wants, that is pretty to see,
really beautiful, refreshing to the
eye of a tree and really also an added
value to the earth. When they walk
past I am inclined to want to give
them even more happiness for as far as
that is within my possibilities, just
because it is so pretty.
When they walk past it is also easier
for me to give them happiniess, much
easier than people who do not know
themselves, they are much more closed
even though in fact they are too open.
I mean that those people are too much
oriented towards others and the world
of things and in that sense they are
too open outwards, but on the inside
they are closed. Which doesn’t mean
that people who are open on the
inside, would be closed on the
outside, not at all.
I have great energies at my disposal
because they come with my
responsibility and I’m allowed to
spend a part of my energy on people if
I so wish. So when people come to me
or walk in my forest and they are open
inside, I will give them some of that
energy. What this does, is that this
energy flows.
My energy and the energy of most trees
causes flow and movement. This means
that things become free and that more
space is made for life and for
movement and strength. I create flow
and happiness flows, you can feel
that, when you are happy you feel the
stream within yourself.
I tell you, when you make yourself
flow inside then happiness comes by
itself. Both are directly connected to
each other. Whoever is happy, flows.
And whoever can flow, becomes happy.
That is how I can say that I am
capable of giving happiness to people
even though happiness come from
within. But if I can make you flow
then happiness will well up by itself
from inside of you.
Every person has happiness ingrained
inside but it has to be allowed to
come out and for that you need to
unplug the stopper from the source. If
you are choked up inside, you are
stale. If you flow you are fresh and
happiness and relaxation is splashing
naturally. And if you flow, you are
also a refreshing and quenching source
for others, but unintendedly, it’s a
side effect if you like. You don’t
flow so you can quench others – it
just happens. A bit like a tree
providing shade – it just happens
because of how we are and it doesn’t
take any effort.
Kan je nog meer uitleg geven over hoe we de zon beter kunnen benutten?
I can unfold my theories if you like.
I mean my knowledge. Theory is not a
good word, it makes it sound as if I
think something but it’s not proven.
Anyway. I can tell you what I know.
The sun carries in itself energy plus
information. Both are caught by all
beings. Energy makes the plants grow,
but the information as well, they are
both indispensable. I say information,
but every light possesses information.
But sunlight has the most amount of
information. In fact the information
of a lamp is just an insignificant
trifle compared to the sun. Okay.
So we are getting this information
from the sun without our awareness.
The best thing would be if you would
open up to this sun power consciously,
because that’s what it is in fact. The
energy and information of the sun are
bearer of power. Because you are more
powerful if you know more. At least
that is the case if what you know, is
truth.
Those who have a lot of book knowledge
but don’t know anything about life,
will not be powerful. True knowlegde
always gives power, it is a measure to
know if something is true or not.
So the knowlegde of the sun gives
power. If you want to make better use
of the sun, you can consciously take
up her energy in your heart. A
person’s heart is a mini-sun. That
mini-sun can be fed by the outer sun
by allowing it. And you can allow it
through love and gratitude.
So if you think of the sun or if you
are sitting in the sun and you are
grateful and you feel love in your
heart, then the power of the outer sun
comes into your own heart because it
is the same kind of energy place and
then your own sun can charge, a bit
like every young tree does it. And if
you expose your heart to that loving
energy often enough, you become like a
big tree who can begin to emit what he
has received because you have allowed
that which the sun has always wanted
to give you.
