I\u00c2\u00b4m angry, I defend myself and I attack him. My voice becomes loud. I feel energy and aliveness, my perception becomes more sharp.- But suddenly my perception becomes wider and &#8220;deeper&#8221;, I perceive more than the cause of trouble and the situation more open\u00c2\u00a0and I (?, who?)thinks &#8220;stop!&#8221; This &#8220;stop&#8221; seems more to be a melting together of my friend, his emotions and thoughts, my emotions and thoughts, the surroundings on a &#8220;deeper&#8221; level, an unusual feeling. And my attitude changes into a loving one. \u00c2\u00a0&#8211; My questions: who perceives the witness, who tells stories\u00c2\u00a0 (stop a aggression) about morality?

(I think, in the last years I pay more attention to these situations.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; May be, it is a similar joy: I do my early morning praxis with Kum Nye and it is the last motion, unexpected\u00c2\u00a0the first ray of sunshine\u00c2\u00a0in the morning touches my face, and when I turn round, there is a play of light and colours with the golden Stupa in the background, indescribable the light and my &#8220;feelings&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A look in my photo album of a journey to Tibet and India, inspiring stories, with immediate influences of my\u00c2\u00a0mind and body.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; My writing now: I feel a flowing energy in my back.<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes: I look at these occurrences like a look on a far away strange and\u00c2\u00a0&#8220;dry&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0world.<\/p>\n<p>Peter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first I want to express thanks to Jack for the careful and understandable\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Orientations&#8221;.
