We had a look at Susan Billmaier her views on the turbulence of life, and the transformation of the self.
At her blog SusanWithPearls – Living Life. Learning to do that better. Sharing it here.- she often wonders how we know ourselves and how we do get at what is inside.
Lots of people question their own self and look for way to have a good life. For years they try out several things. Most often they go looking for
The self that… is a deeper self, some say a “higher self”, some say a “Christ self”, or the “Buddha/enlightened self”, in some Native cultures it is called, simply, “beauty”. {Knowing your Self is more than knowing the size of your stomach.}
She writes
Whatever it is– the moral self, the good will– I am not too particular about the label, or the words– it is simply the best that a person can find within themselves and everyone has it…whether they know it or not. {Knowing your Self is more than knowing the size of your stomach.}
She also knows that man has to come to a point where the individual comes to see that it has its own value and its own reason to be, demanding to take personal action and own personal focus on personal awareness.
My own Loving Presence is my Self. I turn my attention inward and become aware of my own Loving Presence. With my focused awareness, my own Loving Presence fills me, grows brighter, and grows warmer. {Claim only the Self that you love. A Journey of Purpose: Day 32}
Being faced with the self one may not loose that self nor the faith in the self. Being confronted with the surroundings one need also to be willing to go into confrontation with it and with the inner thoughts, at the same time willing to perceive the necessary changes to be taken or the changes going on around the self.
as a guiding thought can be notated
Accept your light and your lightness! Feel your Self expand! As you perceive change around you, remain anchored in your Being of Light. Allow yourself to sit peacefully in the still place of nothingness as life moves quickly around you. {Arguing with myself and losing: Journey of Courage 2017 – Day 19}
Too many people do forget that we are here on this earth because we are allowed to be here by the Most High Divine Creator. Many do not want to know about that Omnipotent, Omniscient, Powerful Eternal Divine Source of all life, existence and knowledge, but also of peace and joy Though daily they are confronted with “Existence” that surrounds them.
In ““Self Fulfilled”: Journey of Fulfillment 2.0 – Day 05” Susan Billmaier looks at the guiding thought
In Divine Mind, I am filled full! All are equally filled full. All are equal in Love. I fill my mind with thoughts of fulfillment and remember what I already know. I am determined to fulfill my purpose, to know my Self as Divine Love, and to share the fullness I am.{“Self Fulfilled”: Journey of Fulfillment 2.0 – Day 05}
For her “Guiding Thoughts”
acts like a guided visualization and I see/experience the words. There are days when reading the Guiding Thought seems to open a channel within me and I can feel energy within me moving in a new or different way. {“My Self Has My Back, Now if It Would Scratch…”: Journey of Abundance 2.0 – Day 33}
First page of “On the Difficulty of Knowing One’s Self”, 1744 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
We can only ascertain that lots of people are afraid of looking at them self in the light of a Higher Being that would be Master over them and would be responsible for their being. We can enact that it is difficult for man to accept that there is a Higher Being Mightier than them and giving them all what the can see around them. That High Being wants us to come into a good relationship with our self, with others around us and with Him. He wants us to get filled with that what made Him create us in the first place. Even when the first man rebelled it was His love for man that made He wanted to allow them to take care of themselves and to find solutions for themselves, but providing also The solution to bring an end to their agony, suffering and continues wandering. Also that foreseen solution, the sent one from God, the Messiah, God His own begotten beloved son shared that love of God with mankind and gave his life for all. Like that man of flesh and blood did not want to do his own will, but only did the Will of God, we too should come to a point where we want to do the Will of God and share His love with others. Only that way we can come to fill our mind and heart with love, aligning with the Light of Truth. Steadfast and focused on our own Loving Presence, than we shall be able to live in the peace of fulfilment of our own Divine Identity.

From the archives of Bond Zonder Naam (Movement Without a Name) we love to present you some proverbs which were published in the early years. Already from the start attention was placed on the matter that a person had to accept himself or herself, before the person could find happiness. In 1958 it looked already at “The self” and in the subsequent years it asked to look at yourself in a positive way, daring to say “I am”, because without it there is no being.
Verbeter de wereld begin met Uzelf. (Improve the world start with yourself.) – Spreuk van Bond Zonder Naam/MWN proverb Augustus 1958
Improve the world start with yourself
Who despises others, overestimates himself
They had this … They had that … Do yourself some!
The road to … we pave itself
You do not become more important or bigger by belittling ‘others’.
Modern mathematics. Efface yourself!
Wees jezelf. Anderen lopen er al zoveel rond. (Be yourself. There are already so many Others around.) – Bond zonder Naam /MWN proverb February 2003
Be yourself. There are already so many Others around.
Start the cleaning by yourself!
Who gives the best of himself gives enough
Where does a better world start? (at the neighbours, in the Rue de la Loi, /in Downing Street/by yourself)
Who knows himself, condemns
nobody!Concern for the environment – begins at home
Zelfkritiek, jezelf zien zoals jij anderen bekijkt. (Self-criticism, see yourself as you watch others.) – Bond Zonder naam/MWN proverb June 2011
True freedom? Learn to let Yourself go .

When looking at yourself, start seeing the real “I am“.
Too often, too many people do want to take on an other “me” in front of others. They want to create an other “I am” than the one which is in them. This shall make it so much more difficult for themselves to become satisfied with themselves, because at the end they will not be able to recognise the “I am” of themselves any more. They will not feel at ease with their self. Then negativity enters the body and soul (= the being).
Data from April 2011 Editor Survey that lists Social Media activities (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Facebook and other social media tempt people to present themselves differently than they are. Many created a “would like” world. Many also use it to profile them better than they really are. But because they themselves do know the truth and do know it is not really like it is, do become more dissatisfied because they will find themselves further and further away form the world they imagine they should live in.
So many people like to put on a fake act, but they forget they are not only misleading the others, but also themselves. Do not have any illusions, this will affect the way we really are.
Many have already lost themselves in the would be world of the social media. Do not fall in the trap. Be yourself and stay yourself. Come to see your own “I am”, accept and respect it and try to use it positively. there is no reason at all to pretend you are somebody else, or you are feeling differently. Share your real feelings, but let the negative feelings not come over the positive ones.
Like Cheryl Foston says in Stop Pretending:
You can’t attract the right people into your life when you’re pretending to be someone else. So, be yourself. If you can’t find a group whose values and consciousness matches your own, then be the source of one. Others with your same values and consciousness will be drawn to you. Trust me, there are others with your values and consciousness out there. It may take some time to find them, for they too may need to stop pretending.

How many times are you thinking positive about yourself? Only by placing a positive continuation after “I am” that the “I am” in you can grow positively and enjoy life.
Why wait until tomorrow. Start to day by accepting yourself how you are and to treat yourself nicely. When you treat yourself the way you would like to have others treating yourself, you too may come to treat them the way you would love to be treated and cold come sharing a love which shall construct you positively, giving you renewed energy every day over and over again.Always remember, the way you feel shall let others feel a certain way. Your positive attitude shall not only reflect your person’s mind and courage, it shall offer a mirror to the people you have contact with. Your positive attitude shall infect also other people and give you and them extra power.

We often fall in the trap of creating too high expectations and comparing ourselves with others. In case we are willing to accept our ‘honest self’ we shall find an easier life, giving more meaning to our saying “I am”.
+
Remember you have to :
- accept yourself.
- take care of your mind, body and soul
- treat yourself with love, respect and care
- do meaningful things => reminds you how worth it you are
- have relativism
- recognise your enormous potential inside -> empower all your best qualities to continuing learning and trusting in yourself
- stop overestimating other people opinions
- ignore negative criticisms
- listen to the constructive remarks
- create your own opinion.
- = Accept yourself, take care of yourself, love yourself ==> You are worth it.
Have you ever felt as if you were less worth it than someone else?
Have you ever felt as if your opinion was not as interesting as other people´s?
Have you ever created your own judgement, even about yourself, based on other people considerations?
Many of us have felt that way sometimes. I have had those feelings sometimes. That is why I am writing this post, because I know how it feels and because I worked on myself to change that perspective and believe in myself.
It took me time to understand, and believe, that creating my own value based on other´s opinion was a mistake but, once I understood it, I was able to change the whole perspective.
What to do to believe in yourself?

too often a person is not willing to recognise the “I am” in himself or herself, which gets in his or her way to develop in a good way.
when not able to accept the self and not able to place the self in a good position in this world, the self shall be lost in the wide world of selfish persons and in others who have no interest in ‘loosers’ or in persons who do not believe in themselves.
Instead of looking at others and comparing ourselves with others, we first should look at ourself, seeing the “I am” in ourself.
Lacking motivation? Feeling worthless? Friendless? Frustrated? Disappointed? Most everyday we feel something negative about ourselves. We tend to blame it on the our circumstances. While all the blame my be right there, I’m learning how important it is not to let circumstances alone control you.
Our circumstance will change everyday. Some can be control and some can’t. Instead of focusing on what you can’t control, laser in on what you can. What’s the number one thing you can control? Your thinking.
“The sum of all your thoughts comprises your overall attitude.” -John Maxwell
So I challenge you, write down 100 positive things about yourself. The list isn’t timed, but get to thinking and write them down. Yes 100! This may be challenging. I often find when I think of a positive about myself I’m following it up with a “but I could be better” or “I’m only where I’m…

When a person has found him or herself and can say “I am” than he or she can start the next step, looking for what the “I am” would like to be, would like to become. When there are the dreams than the “I am” should come to realise that those dreams only can be made working when the “I am” is prepared to go into them and to do something positive with them. Then after the knowledge of “I am” has to come the power of the will to say “I can”.

As a young person going through life with struggles but you still have faith and hope that one day something will change, you don’t give up on anything that you started no matter how hard things may turn out to be. I consider you as a worrier, a gladiator who is fighting an economical war, a gladiator who believes in him/herself. Your heart is the most important tool you have. It is not your experience, knowledge, or skills. It is your heart that matters most of all. Don’t allow just everyone to have access to it. It’s your heart that creates an idea and you live on it. Guard your heart with all your might because everything you create comes from it. “What’s your purpose?” Ask yourself this question. Answering it will change your life instantly. It’s hard to know where you’re going unless you know who you are. To create your life roadmap, first identify and prioritise your values. Doing so will give clarity on what you need in life as opposed to what you simply want. Believe in yourself and give up on things that you know you cannot control and put your focus on what you know you can be able to control.

When you do not believe in yourself and are not firm in saying “I am” you will be not much and none will believe in yourself.
Filed under Being and Feeling, Re-Blogs and Great Blogs
Hope: expect and desire. Without a ‘Desire of fulfilment’ there is no soil for a seed of hope to grow.
When we do want to build up hope we do have to be willing to be, to stand strong.
Therefore we better considered the power of the statement “I am” which we use so many times a day. When we answer the phone or when we are asked if it our us entering the place or when we give others an idea of who we are or how we feel.
You might be surprised what is hidden in those two little words. They also can say a lot to the others, even making them cross, like it happened some two thousand years ago, when the Pharisees asked Jesus if he was that person been spoken of, and he confirmed that he was that man. (Too many Christians today still do not understand the answer nor the question posed that day, and take it because Jesus said “I am” that he is God.) All the people who continue to say “I am” are not all gods and mostly do not think to be a god nor the God. but they have good reason to keep saying “I Am”. Because without ‘to Be’ there is no being, no existence. Jesus existed and therefore he also could say “I am”. He also could confirm he was the person the Pharisees heard speaking about, the one man preaching fervently about his heavenly Father Who would be not only his god but also The God. That was what made the high priests so mad and shouting it was blasphemous. Jesus never did say to them he was God, nor did he say such a thing to the people. He always said he could not do the things he did without his Father in heaven, the God of Abraham, Whose will he wanted to do and not his own will.
First, we have to be, before we can have any hope. Without being there is no hope at all. Thanks to the Creator we can be. Without Him there is no life possible at all. Without the God of gods there is no being no way of saying “I am”.
To many people do forget how these two simple words will determine what kind of life a person lives.
We when we say ourselves “I am” or when we hear others saying “I am” generate an idea of feeling and being. A Christian should be best in being able to say:
“I am blessed.”
Because we are blessed, by the allowance to be in a living condition and by the Grace of God, having become accepted, washed clean by the ransom offer of Christ Jesus. It is in that Jewish man we have found “hope”. In him we should place our hope. He is the one who has presented the world with the most high hope, the possibility of the best possible life on earth, a never ending life in the Kingdom of God. that should be our real Hope.
Knowing that we can live by the Grace of God we should not fear man, but with the fear of God, should also be happy that Jesus reconciled ourselves by his heavenly Father, the Only One God “The I Am Who Is”. He is the Most High Being, the Supreme Being. It was the son of the Elohim who gave his life to the One and Only Who gives life. He is it who can make us weak or strong, slow or fast, stupid or wise. It is Him Who can make us say:
“I am strong”. “I am healthy.”
Or,
“I am slow”. “I am unattractive”. “I am stupid.”
The “I am’s” that are coming out of our mouth will bring either success or failure. Not enough people are aware how the thinking about themselves shall decide how they themselves shall be or become. Unconsciously and for some consciously, all through the day the power of “I am” is at work in our minds. And there is the problem of denial. The will not to see the “I am” in ourselves. Many people also place the “I am” in the wrong phrases or in the wrong context, making life for themselves more difficult.
Too many people are not aware how they themselves can use the “I am” for them selves but also against themselves. Mostly they have no idea how they use the power of “I am” against themselves and how it is affecting their future.
In the Bible the answers are given. It tells us clearly how we are to be ‘in-breath’ with the “I Am”, the most High God. all being created in the image of God, having received life from God “The I Am”, should be willing to have The Elohim living through their “I am”. According to the Holy Scriptures The “I Am Who Is” (The Elohim Hashem Jehovah) is always there for His Creation. He is always looking for us, and as such our “I am” is also always looking for us.
Each individual has given the breath of God, i.e. life, because otherwise he would not be living. This breath of life, i.e. the soul, is our being our possibility to say “I am”. Without life we shall not be able to say “I am”. When death, you also shall not be able any more to say “I was”. Others shall be able to say that ‘you were’, but once the light of life has gone out, it its finished with the being, the “I am” shall not sound any more.
Therefore, as written in the Holy Scriptures, it is in the “Now,” that we have to make it. It is when we live and can say “I am” that we can be and that we can do things. Jesus gave several parables as examples of what happens when we do not follow the good direction as the “I am” and do not make work of being the right “I am”.
The “I am” expresses a hope, or it should do. When you go through the day saying,
“I am blessed,”
blessings come looking for you. The same way when you say
“you are blessed”
you give the expression of the I am who wants to bring over the other blessings by your loving-kindness for that person.
In case you want to build up hope in your life you first have to believe in yourself and secondly have to believe in the Most High “I Am” to get you there where He wants you to be and to succeed. but you have to be willing to give yourself in the hands of the “I am” to get the feeling of growth in assurance you can do something. as such you, yourself have to believe in yourself and have to dare to say
“I can”
And continuing to think you shall be able to reach your goal and as such to be able to say:
“I am talented.”
Only when you are willing to go for the hope in succeeding you shall be able to succeed and to become talented.
Let blessings and talent come looking for you. Let health come to you and come to say
“I am feeling fine”, “I am healthy,” “I am strong.”
You might be surprised how much the “I am” can do wonders in yourself. How good feelings, good health and strength shall come on your way. Are you willing to surrender to your own self? To surrender to the “I am” in you?
Not to be ‘be good’ or ‘do better’ but to surrender to the amazing person I am and what I might create with a deep appreciation of all that is abundant in me. {Hope}
Your “I am” has to start tracking you down, by your invitation into your life.
Get up in the morning and invite good things into your life. Declare
“I am blessed. I am strong. I am talented. I am disciplined. I am focused. I am prosperous.”
And always make sure God’s truth follows “I am”!
Are you able to say:
I feel complete with who and where ‘I am’.
What is your answer when asked: Is it you, Pete, John, Mary, Sonia, Vicky, or ‘so and so’? “Are you him or her”?
….
What is your answer when asked: “Are you feeling all right?”
….
Are you believing in the power of perspective and positive outlook?
….
Are you willing to choose to live into today with hope in your heart?
…..
Are you able to honour all aspects of your being and let go of any judgement and attachment that might divide you or leave you feeling broken.
…..
Are you willing to be whole in all your imperfection and brilliance.
…..
What would be you you answer when asked “Are you a Christian”?
…..
Do the give your answer in big capitals, to this question:
Are you a believer in the Son of God, and willing to follow this Jewish man who gave hope for a better future? Are you a follower of Christ Jesus, the son of God, accepting he really did die for the sins of the whole world, and who now has been made higher than the angels, though he was lower before, in the knowledge that God is was and always shall be the Most High?
…..
+
* Note: If you could not answer every-time with “I am”, than you have a problem and should reconsider your way of thinking and should go to examine your self and your believes. If you could answer all questions with “I am” than we want to invite you to continue your way with us, helping others to find their “I am”.

De evangelisten Marcus en Lukas schrijven dat de heer Jezus zich regelmatig terugtrok in de eenzaamheid om, zonder door anderen in beslag genomen te worden, te spreken met zijn Vader in de hemel. Zij vertellen ons niet veel over wat Jezus op zulke momenten bad. Maar wat zij, door de Geest geïnspireerd, wel hebben opgeschreven, […]
Today’s thought “Man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah” (April 24) Deuteronomy 8-9, In today’s reading we are requested to carefully obey every command Jehovah, the Most High Maker God has given us. He let us know that when we keep His commandments we will live and grow in number. […]
“15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that Jehovah spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire. 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, […]
Today’s thought “Watch yourselves very carefully” (April 21) Deuteronomy 4, Proverbs 31, John 15,16 Today we have a remarkable set of meaningful readings. In Deuteronomy Moses commences his final exhortation to his nation; in Proverbs, the final chapter is taken to be an exhortation from the mother of Solomon (Bathsheba), a message that at the […]
When we are looking for some one for having a good or close relationship with, we can assure you the best one to have a good relationship with is the Most High Divine Creator God Who made it possible for you to be here in the first place. Having a relationship with Him is a […]
When wondered about a godhead and having come to the conclusion that there must be a Divine Creator or Supreme Being that surpasses all human and animal beings, we may question if it is possible for us to have a relationship with that Higher Being. What does it take to begin a relationship with God? […]
In March 2016 we created on Weebly a website to talk about man’s relationship with God. After we had done all the placing of pages and came to the contact form and placing of a Gravatar for the replies, we were brought to WordPress where we not only could choose a Gravatar but also got […]
Throughout history of mankind there have many groups of people who worshipped a triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity). Those people who worshipped such tri-une god all claim they only worship one deity. Such deities that are worshipped as one are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion. But the God of the Bible is clear about Which God has to be worshipped, not a more headed, be it an eightfold, three-une or bi-one god, but only the God of Abraham, Which is only One God of gods.
Find out in this article and its links how Jews, Christians and Muslims may have been influenced by the pagan gods and false teachings and how they have to separate them from such pagan teachings.
You may wonder if there really exist a God. You have all reason to question His existence and to check if you are feeling right or thinking the right way. We are even requested to examine our own faith. It is important to know what you want to believe, what you want to take for […]
Als men bepaalde woorden en verzen uit de bijbel wil bespreken moet men steeds teruggrijpen naar de betekenis van die woorden in die tijd dat de tekst geschreven werd.
Vandaag kijken wij naar het woord “Liefhebben” en wat dat inhoudt voor de Hebreeër.
The HalleluYah Scriptures present a translation directly from the original Hebrew into English in parallel with Hebrew, following the same principles of the original English translation HalleluYah Scriptures wherein the Name of the heavenly Father is restored throughout in Paleo Hebrew as is the Name of Ha’Mashiaḥ.
Lots of Jews and many who have found Jeshua as the way to God have come afraid by the populist far-right politicians and extreme right agitators. Many do not want to come out in the public because of fear for bullying and terrorist actions against them. Many are also afraid that when they would unite with a group or would have a collective name that they would loose their characteristic property.
As partakers of a particular Body they should know that it is more important how we make others feel and would like to be open and susceptible to them.
In Belgium and Holland we may find several populist politicians who do not mind to be enablers of hate speech against certain groups of people and who do not mind to go in against the freedom of speech, expression and religion. since a few years Muslims could receive hate and abuse and more and more Jewish communities also became targetted. The number of suspected far-right extremists referred to the Prevent anti-radicalisation programme has increased by more than a quarter, new figures show, as the number of Islamists falls. Also in our regions we must be careful not to loose democratic rights, seeing that around us over half the nations in the world are experiencing significant democratic decline.
Op vrijdag 30 maart 2018 of 14 Nisan 5778 begint voor vele kinderen een extra leuk verlengd weekend met hun ouders. Tot en met maandag 1 april is er het Pesach en/of Paasweekend waar vele mensen eigenlijk stil zouden moeten staan bij de verlossing van de mensheid, maar velen de Uittocht van Egypte zo wel als de Loskopingsdaad van Jezus (Jeshua) zijn vergeten en eerder aan paaseitjes en geschenkjes denken.
We believe that the truly special thing about Pesach is how it manages to be both traditional — we read the same story that our ancestors have been reciting for millennia — and personal, with each of us making the Seder our own by incorporating our own interpretations and interests into the timeless tale of […]
Wij geloven dat het echt speciale aan Pesach is hoe het erin slaagt om zowel traditioneel te zijn – we lezen hetzelfde verhaal dat onze voorouders al millennia reciteren – als persoonlijk, waarbij ieder van ons de Seder de onze maakt door onze eigen interpretaties en belangen op te nemen in het tijdloze verhaal van de […]
In Antwerpen zal er eindelijk werk moeten gemaakt worden voor een herdenkingsmonument (of “Namenmonument”) zoals dit reeds enkele jaren wordt gepland als waardige antwoord op de stolpersteine en het uitblijven van een waardige herinnering voor de vele holocaust slachtoffers.
Un pavé de mémoire devant le seuil de la maison dans laquelle vivait une victime du nazisme, à rendre hommage public aux victimes mais aussi à renforcer la tolérance, la cohabitation et la démocratie.
Een kijk op “struikelstenen” of “Stolpersteine” naar het idee van de Duitse kunstenaar Gunter Demnig. In februari 2017 liggen er nu zo wat 65.000 struikelstenen verspreid over heel Europa, 260 daarvan in België, onder meer in Brussel, Gent, Charleroi.

1 April 2018 Deel 2: The Chinese Lion Dance Gymnasts perform lion dances in which two or more performers dress up like a big lion. The Chinese believe that lions are full of power and grandeur. They are supposed to be auspicious animals which can bring good luck. Stone carved lions are used […]
