So we are going to talk over together like two friends discussing a problem, neither one trying to persuade the other to accept or to discard. And to talk over together, both must listen, and that is going to be our difficulty. Listening is one of the most difficult things to do. We never listen. We are listening to our own thoughts, to our own ideas, to our own concepts, to the ways of how we should or should not behave. We are concerned with our own occupations, with our own problems, with our own sorrows, and we have our own answers and explanations; or we have the explanations and the sayings of another whom we respect or whom we are afraid of – which is the same thing. The act of listening is really one of the most difficult things to do.

Here I explain all the gear and food I packed for one week of hiking in the mountains in spring, around the border of Spain and France. Wish me luck! 😄

Gear List for 1 week of hiking

The first video from a mini hiking series that I filmed in April, 2024 (I just didn't have time to post them earlier 🙈😅).

We are friends, you and I; we are two friends who are not persuading or dissuading, not asking each other to commit to something or other – then they would not be friends. We are two friends asking each other whether it is possible to live peacefully for the entire existence of our lives. Not at odd moments, not when we have nothing to do, but to live without a single conflict or problem.

I hope we are thinking together, observing together, as two friends walking along a road and seeing what is around us, not only what is very close and immediately perceived, but what is in the distance. We are taking the journey together, perhaps affectionately, hand in hand – two friends amicably examining the complex problem of life, neither of them leader or guru, because when one sees actually that our consciousness is the consciousness of the rest of mankind, then one realises that one is both the guru and the disciple, the teacher as well as the pupil, because all that is in one’s consciousness. That is a tremendous realisation. So as one begins to understand oneself deeply, one becomes a light to oneself and not dependent on anybody, on any book or on any authority – including that of the speaker – so that one is capable of understanding this whole problem of living and of being a light to oneself.

Sommige dingen kun je beter publiek uitspreken

@Doorbraak.eu aan Grymt:

"Hoi, hier Eric van de redactie van Doorbraak. Zouden we het stukje dat je gisteren hier schreef over de SDF/Rojava mogen overnemen op onze website Doorbraak. eu?"

Grymt aan Doorbraak:

"Als je eerst eindelijk je excuses maakt voor dit ontzettend kloterige stukje, graag.

👉️ doorbraak.eu/waarom-wij-niet-m…

Mag je ook nog even de accounts van @Grutjes deblokkeren, die je blokkeerde nadat het blog je beleefd verzocht om in gesprek te gaan over die bizarre aantijgingen.
Oh en als je toch eindelijk eens verantwoording neemt mag je ook nog even sorry zeggen tegen Anja Meulenbelt wiens foto je zonder toestemming te vragen van de website van Grutjes hebt gejat om boven je aanval te zetten.

Groetjes,
de 3 vrouwen en 1 man, waaronder 2 moslims, die protesteerden tegen Pegida en daarom volgens jullie "paternalistische, om niet te zeggen racistische, witte do-gooders" zouden zijn."
