Gloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2013 12 30<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I just came home from an event with about 70 participants of acquaintances of mine I sometimes have to work with. Since a couple of weeks I pray daily for a handful of this people who are facing severe struggles (as usually in such cases they don\u2019t know that I pray for them). Because my babysitter got suddenly sick I was late and had to take the only seat left and so I come to sit on the very table where already exactly these people sit I pray for. Didn\u2019t expect that because they even don\u2019t work in the same departments. They only have in common that I pray for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on I recognize a certain pair of gloves on the table which belongs to one of these people I pray for. But I don\u2019t pay attention to it. As I leave at the end of the evening I get my coat from the wardrobe and in its pocket I find these very gloves. As I go back to hand them over to the owner he gladly thanks me so much as if I would have done something much greater for him. At this moment I realise that this actually is not about returning the gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Hanks and Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2013 12 31<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be guided by my heavenly companions means to receive joy unexpectedly. For days I was looking for christmas presents for my beloved ones. Shortly before christmas on my way home in a streetcar I got the inspiration to get off the next station and go to a certain shop. Immediately after entering a book leaped to my eye. \u201eHero\u201c by Rhonda Byrne. And before I could start to analyze the situation intellecutally, I knew that this is the right present for a certain friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little bit further there stood a box with about 200 DVDs with a special price for sale. As I started to go through them a picture of a DVD appeared in my mind: \u201eThe money pit\u201c \u2013 a funny movie with Tom Hanks, which I saw in the 80s. And indeed one minute later I found this very DVD. The movie fits perfectly for another friend who bought a house and got in similar trouble like Tom Hanks in the movie \u2013 which in reality is very pathetic. The movie will hopefully help my friend to see the funny side of his predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back home I browsed in the book \u201eHero\u201c and got inspired to finally get started with this blog. The name \u201eNews from Heaven\u201c came already one year ago to my mind. Actually it was inspired by my heavenly companions and I immediately registered the domain. It however took me another year to finally figure out what to exactly do with it and then get the blog started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eYou shepherds awake\u201c (German Christmas Carol from the 18th century)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 01<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago my son reminded me to train for our traditional christmas singing at the christmas gathering. So I got my guitar, my new songbook with old christmas carols sung centuries ago, picked a song I didn\u2019t know and started singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al of a sudden the room was crowded with heavenly presence of a large group of whoever it was (I never \u201esee\u201c them) who joined me in singing (althoug I don\u2019t \u201ehear\u201c them either). They where deeply moved by the song and where happy that somebody at last sung it again. I cought their emotions. What a holy feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later I realised why I as a young boy loved so much to sing Christmas carols with my family. It was the atmosphere that came with their heavenly presence – for whoever \u201ethey\u201c are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I call them my heavenly companions. Although this time some of them where new to me. And the new ones didn\u2019t stay after the song was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language is inspired<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 02<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The english language is pretty meaningful. As the word \u201einspiration\u201c shows, we don\u2019t create an idea ourselves but it comes from outside (latin \u201einspirare\u201c to breathe, which also stands for revelation). Revelation comes from \u201ere-veil\u201c (latin \u201erevelare\u201c), to remove the veil. And by the act of removing a veil we don\u2019t create something new but discover something which was already there (dis-cover).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more I develop* my spritual abilities the more I realize that all this \u201eideas\u201c that I have are not mine but actually do come from outside. They are granted to me by my heavenly companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*And by the way, \u201eto develop\u201c actually indicates that we don\u2019t learn something new but realize what was already there: de-velop, which again means to unveil something by removing an (en)velope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words in general convey a certain meaning \u2013 not only in English. Also characters like in Chinese convey a meaning as words do with phonetic trancsription. For instance the character for \u201ehuman being\u201c \u4eba consists of two parts supporting each other. So one without the other cannot fulfill his (or her) purpose. We also could recognize in them male and female. One of them allone covers only half of humankind. Language indeed ist inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Recipient to Participant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 03<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I have a problem to solve I ask my heavenly companions for a solution. Sometimes they answer in the same instant, immediately, directly. For instance when I stand in the kitchen and \u2013 after looking around for quite some time \u2013 I ask them to show me the saltshaker and it leaps into my eye the very moment the question is asked. Or they answer indirectly through other people, a symbol, a book or a movie. Sometimes I wait for years. Like when it took me several years to realize the connection between my migraine and a lack of drinking water the day before. So my patience is always rewarded with an inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I got used to acknowledge every inspiration as coming from my heavenly companions, I always thank them sincerely. In general I thank them by speaking out \u201ethank you\u201c more or less loud, or I at least tell it in my mind. Even though me thanking isn\u2019t this important for the heavenly side, I feel much more enriched by receiving the inspiration with gratitude. Just receiving is a unidirectionial way, while the act of asking, receiving, thanking and asking again creates a circular motion. From being a recipient I become an active participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddha waits around the corner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 06<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to get a small statue of Buddha for my friend for christmas. Since weeks I was looking for it. But if I found one at all then it was either too big or far too expensive. A couple of days before christmas I finally asked my heavenly companions for guidance. An hour later when I was in front of a restaurant where I wanted to have lunch I suddenly \u201eheard\u201c the message that I should turn left on the next corner and the<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Betender<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

re would be a shop with the buddha statue. However, I didn\u2019t take this too serious and since I was really hungry I went in the restaurant instead. When I came out again 30 minutes later I had already forgotten about the message and walked on. After a few steps I again \u201eheard\u201c them say: \u201eNext street turn left, first shop on the left.\u201c So I went as told and found a big interior shop. The friendly shop lady told me that they of course have statues of buddha, even in several sizes. Not only that they had the perfect size also the price was very reasonable. I thanked my heavenly companions and bought a statue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Prince Charles came to see me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 07<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago I had a dream where I was lying sick in bed in a hospital. The door opened and to my surprise Prince Charles of England came in to visit me. As usually he was dressed with a perfectly tailored suit and wore a tie. He took a seat near my bed and asked me how I was. After my answer he continued in welsh, by which he made me realize that I actually had answered his question in german which he couldn\u2019t understand. So I repeated my answer in english. He smiled because I understood his hint and we continued to talk for a while. Then he got his wallet out of his jacket, took 3 green papers and put them under my pillow. I thanked him and after a few words of goodbye he left. When I looked under my pillow I found there no money. There were 3 Lotto coupons. Then I awoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me it was clear that this was a sign from my heavenly companions that I should play the Lottery. But a big question remained. Which numbers? Actually I quit playing the Lottery five years ago for several reasons. But since I was shure that this dream was no coincidence, I decided to do it again one more time. So I asked my heavenly companions for the numbers. It didn\u2019t take long and the numbers came to my mind. They acutally sounded familiar. This numbers I always used in the past before I quit. I felt great and exited. I started to think what I would do with the money if I would win. First paying off some debts. Then I could get the farm I always wanted to have, a place where I would create a center for peaceminded people, willing to change the world for the better. And of course I would be openminded for heavenly inspirations about using the money to help people in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a long story short, I didn\u2019t win. Nothing. The numbers were completely wrong. I was really disappointed. I even got angry and complained to my heavenly companions. \u201eWhat\u2019s all this fuzz, sending me a dream, reminding me on my old numbers and then \u2013 nothing?!\u201c Well, since I know it\u2019s never helpful to complain or get angry, I stopped it and just asked them without the negative emotions. I asked my heavenly companions what all this ment? After a couple of days of asking, waiting and thinking it dawned on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a test. Imagine a very rich and very busy man who wants to help many people in a foreign country where he can\u2019t go by himself. So he asks a supposedly trustworthy money manager to receive a million dollars and then donate it to people in need. But the first thing that comes to the managers mind is to use the money for his own needs and then to help other people with the rest of it. Of course he would deserve some fee for his service, but the point is that he shouldn\u2019t just use it for himself first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a test. And I failed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t ready back then when I had that dream. And honestly, I\u2019m not shure if I am ready by now. But I understand where this journey goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alchemists and Grasshoppers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 19<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last summer I read the book \u201eThe Alchemist\u201c by Paulo Coelho. I was going on a bus at night as I read the very chapter where he explains that seeing a grashopper is a sign for having good luck. I thought to myself: \u201eThat\u2019s pretty interesting because I never heard of that before.\u201c I got off the bus and walked on. Outside it was hot. All of a sudden something small flew towards me and landed on my chest right where my heart is. To my very surprise it was a big grashopper, about 3 cm long. I stopped, stared at it and could hardly believe what just had happened. A moment later the grasshopper took off again. In my whole life never ever before did a grashopper land on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live is wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grasshopper reloaded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 01 23<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A couple of days after my first encounter with a grasshopper (see last entry) I sat on the bench of a busstation. I heard  something chirping behind me and as I looked back there was a grasshopper sitting on the wall. I got curious how it actually made that sound and so I said to it in my mind: \u201eDear grasshopper, would you mind coming over and show me how you chirp?\u201c After finishing that thought it flew on my naked forearm and started crawling towards my shoulder. Since it was rather small I put my arm close to my eyes in order to see exactly what it was doing. As I watched it closely and waited for it to show me how it chirped, I observed it emptying its bowels. This little fella stopped, dropped a tiny bit of something from its rear on my arm and then walked on till it reached my shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the experts on omen and fortune telling will not agree with me, but here in Vienna we say \u201eyou just stepped into your good luck\u201c if you happen to step in dogs excrement. So, in a sense, meeting this grashopper was like having two good omen at once. First the grasshopper itself as a sign of good luck and secondly by delighting me with its little gift, it made it very clear that I am really lucky ;-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a Highway to Heaven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2014 02 02<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good friend of mine is from Germany and already lives in Austria since some years. For several reasons she sometimes is not happy with her situation here and therefore from time to time she thinks about moving back to Germany. Once I had a dream in which she was very angry about her situation here in Austria and therefore she got on her car and drove off towards Germany. She drove very agressively and way too fast and therefore caused several accidents. Then I woke up. I was worried how she was doing and wondered if maybe she was really on her way to Germany? So I called her but she didn\u2019t answer the phone. Several minutes later I received her text message: \u201eI\u2019m on my way to Germany and will come back in two days.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I was really worried. I started to pray for her safe trip. But since I came to understand that worrying can make things worse I not only prayed but also created a picture in my mind of her coming back safe and sound. I continued to do so and prayed for her whenever I found time. Two days later I called her and she told me: \u201eI had planned this trip in advance to visit my daughter. On our way there my husband insisted to drive himself. For the way back we planned to take shifts. He took the first. Usually I cannot sleep while driving but then I got so tired that I fell asleep anyway. After I woke up I told him that now it\u2019s my turn. But he said that I slept the whole trip and that since we are almost home there is no meaning in taking over.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
