It was early 2012 and I needed to change. Various life events had deeply impacted me and I felt that my relationship with life had changed. I thought it was helpful for myself and others to interview people that were successful in spreading messages of love, care, peace and light. I had conversations with people like don Miguel Ruiz, Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, India.Arie, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Anita Moorjani and many others. Most of my interviews were published on OMTimes Magazine and gained a lot of traction. You can still find them here. In the mean time, I had also started my own platform called SoulLove.com - It still exists…
Insight
After I had an interview for the second time with don Miguel Ruiz I had a deep realization that changed the course of my life forever. After reading his latest best selling book, preparing the interview, spending time with Miguel and finally doing the transcript I pondered the question: “Why do I love his wisdom so much and how does he access all of these universal truths after all?”
While sitting with this question for some time, I realized that he is part of the same intelligent field that I am part of. That was of course a no-brainer but I strongly felt this in my core. Then I spoke out loud: “When don Miguel ‘downloads’ the information for his next book it comes from the same field that I am part of, then why don’t I download my own information filtered and interpreted by Dirk. It’ll be more pure and more meant for me in stead of coming from don Miguel.”

Since that day, I stopped doing my interviews and I have not participated in workshops or retreats. Not because I don’t like those who host these events but because I’ve come to realize that my own connection with Source is way more powerful and impactful.
A Start
You might now think that this approach is for advanced students of life only, but nothing could be further from the truth. The easiest way to break an old pattern is when something feels good in the moment, no matter what that is, just say ‘yes’ to that moment without thinking. Do it! When you embrace that moment and that choice, you offer yourself an experience that teaches you so much. Our bodies are designed for experiences, otherwise we would only show up in spirit in this lifetime. It’s how we learn and it can therefore never be a mistake. The only mistake that you can make, is to listen to and believe the programs we live by are our truth.
Personally, I also do believe that it is really helpful to honour the choice you’ve made—honour following your truth in that moment. You can always make new choices the next time. This is how we learn.
And the last element I can add here is to stay away from judgement, as it doesn’t serve any purpose (in case you find one, let me know), except that it disconnects you from the Creator inside you. Honour the Creator inside. You are being made in the image of God.
Simple yet Powerful
Maybe the above sounds oversimplified to you. It’s because you’re a thinker. Life is simple, but the seeker of life is often complex. Go out and practice unless you don’t want change. That’s fine too, but always know that the wisdom others offer you is not necessarily the wisdom that is right for you. Connect with your heart. You are unique!
Dirk
So important. I do love to connect with and hear the wise (and sometimes not so wise) insights of others; as I am so curious! What are my fellow humans thinking and feeling? But this can indeed be off-centering if I am using their words as MY wisdom.
Beautifully written, Dirk❣️ Looking forward to our discussion on Sunday.
