Explaining what YIP was for me, I can show what I was thinking, experiencing and doing this year. A big part for me was the contributors’ input which took me with them into the world of their engagements. Orland of course brought me into my self, Michael d’Aleo for example send me into the questions of today’s environmental issues.
Here some of my mini initiatives:
Be a Clown. Looking into the world with the eyes of a clown;
Picture series of a clown in different atmospheres.
Flow form tests: Our Question: does the water treatment of a flow form effect the development of life/the growth of plants? We where testing the effect of 4 different waters on the rout growth of cress seeds. Tested with stirred tab water (stirred in vortex for 1 hour), tab water, flow form water and water which didn’t flow through the flow form.
Flute. Bach solo piece. Now clear wish to become a good musician, study flute! There is an exercise I developed with which I am able to make more fine music with less effort, “out of the source”. In this way I developed a much better resonance and it will bring me good music, experiences and playing opportunities in future!
Listening. Pianist 2 times, cellist, duet viola and piano, opera singers, Sophia Karlsson, Jul oratoriet in Stockholm, concert with David, Zinzi, Christoph, Ann-Christin and Alexandre (attnention specially on the acoustics), music played from Janekel, listening to Inga, viola solo concert in a Swedish private concert-living room.
listening to the quality of the sounds and, when the music was good, experiencing the excitement of the piece, the player and the instrument. I enjoyed (as everybody knows) Bach the most. It becomes more and more exciting, I gained some understanding for the Structure of his music, saw recently, that it must be full of feeling and I practised the attention and concentration needed to follow the music for big parts of the concert. I want to study the flute when I go to Witten and work hard, as I sense that there is much more music and excitement possible.
Piano: playing my first piano fugue from J. S. Bach: playing, hearing, thinking, shaping, two similar lines which are being played one later then the other but then together in time. I did it dog!
Continue Michaels cours: (reading his articles having questions about the climat change), reading Arthurs articles and having one conversation with one of the “Baltic See Project” co-workers.
Financial crisis: what is it? How will it continue, come to an end? What does it need for social development to come? How can you take part on the issue? Buy silver? Having talks with Michael and Pete, going to Soedertaelje to talk to banks and ask for silver, think about the funds of my mother and me.
“Solar Partnerships”:Would it make sense to encourage private people to invest their solar panels planed for their own houses in a “SolarPartnership” and collaborate with a e.g. Sicilian family to fully use the enery
Open Internship: please read report later!
Motivation writing for University: My motivation to go to Witten’s University to study Philosophy and Culture reflection is the “outcome” of this year as well as the continuation of my wish for development before and during YIP. I want to prepare in order to be able to offer myself to the tasks in the development of human beings and the world. YIP and my mini projects brought me to the point where I can see what I want to develop and study in the coming years: learn to research freely (news, information, issues,...), study spiritual thoughts from other people, study Culture and humanity in order to gain an understanding of what needs doing in the world, study the Flute, learn free thinking, study economics in the same Uni, start businesses, projects, work for community and income in a Caffe, study the world more deeply,…
Conference engagement: contemplate and have conversations about the process and bring dynamic and questions to the group.
Observe the lupiner fliower. Over one and a half week every day for a short time. Just looking at it and following its lines inwardly, or sometimes going from an inner wide, open view not only focusing on the flower, but focusing on the whole image around me in the same time. I saw it growing every day and I followed the change from the latent bud to the shooting flower.
Biometrical Passports: the contemplation of this phenomenon started when I gave my attention to a little feeling of “listen to this, there is something not right with these new passports”. From there on I put myself into a search of how to deal with this issue. I gave thought to it and started conversations. There are measured points in the face for the biometrical pictures. Connecting the points one can discover that they lay in the measure of the golden ratio. The golden ratio is found in most expressions of life; in our face it can be seen as the expression of human existence. This raises an interesting question: What does it do to the idea of this expressions if we use the images for control?
The other question is: where we do go if we say yes to more and more control of our lives. We start believing that what the governments want us to do is what we need. This believe is out of fear (“terrorism...”)...
Following my intuition and these thoughts I put myself into the outer unfreedom of not choosing a passport for now; and in the freedom to experience what can be experienced while not having a passport.
“Shaping the world”. Going through the process of the last years and taking part in YIP, listening to the concerns of the world, I developed a thought: the world asks not for the management of crisis but for being formed by human beings.
I wish to learn to work on all fronts and see the challenges in the world as most necessary and pressures processes and parts of the unfolding development of humanity. This gives hope and your wish to change becomes then even more beautiful as it understands the world’s situation as a living process. Your change shapes its development and gives it a human direction.
“Good and Evil?” Throughout the year I observed two tendencies: the living development of life and a development towards stagnation, loss of verity, and limitation of life. I want to work with both.
10 finger typing: I am learning 10 finger typewriting with Christianne, so I will be ready to buy a beautiful computer for the next year!
