Because of personal issues, I need to take a break from the blog for several months. I hope to be back in February or March 2016!
Until then, I wish you all the best, and stay strong!
May your heart always be joyful, even in those dark times that sought Europe again! And may cannonballs be forever banned!
UPDATE, 4 December 2015: The information is obsolete. I am in fact still here. Apologies.

A call for solidarity with 11/13 victims and Paris
After the crimes that happened in Paris on the night of 13 to 14 November, the French newspaper Le Monde will publish a declaration of solidarity. Here I want to forward an address that my mother sent me in an e-mail to sign this declaration on the website of "campact". It is in German, but hopefully you can navigate through, if necessary with a translator. The declaration says that we feel with the victims of terror worldwide, be it in France, in Iraq, in Syria. And - as it does not say, but as I may add - be the terror from Daesh or from western governments or from even the people's own government, like in Syria or North Korea.
No human should have to suffer, and if it was for me, no living creature at all. As I wrote somewhere else - in a chess magazine in 2014 - this century will be the one that decides if humanity is to survive or to go extinct. We can only survive together, for we face enemies greater than ever before in the form of the climate change, the overpopulation - or rather the wrong distribution of resources, as there would in theory be enough food for everyone -, possibly new diseases, and also an impending nuclear holocaust as much as in the 20th century's second half.
My sympathy goes not only with the victims of terror, but with all the people, with all who suffer, not only today but also with those who are still to be born and with those who have been before us. My pain so is endless, but I just want to believe so much that humanity will change enough to survive, that regardless of religion, of believes, of their race, of their health, of their gender, of their social status, in this century all people will stand together. I believe that the Arab revolution has shown that no matter what they believe, humanity will work together when it comes to facing a greater threat. But I also believe that its aftermath, which includes the endless war between sunnites and shiites again, has shown that humanity still is divided after the fact, that their holocaust - to use the word in its original sense as a great burning, a great fire -, their genocide against each other, will only bring them suffering.
I believe from my observations that 95 to 99 percent of people just want to live in peace, harmony and happiness, but the other few people are those who abuse their power to make others suffer. Those are the politicians, the heartless bureaucrats, the sectist leaders of terroristic organisations. Those who want to protect their country are sent to a perversion of protection into occupation of a foreign country. Who wants to live can't live because the hate of few fuels the pain of many. This is not a religious war, for I have seen those who shine the Islam by willingly giving their life for the victims of the so-called islamistic terror. No, those who attacked in Paris are driven by other motives, by blind hate.
As for what I believe to be reasons, although many will dismiss this as spiritual nonsense:
Our young century has a great imbalance of souls, there are many young ones and many old ones. Those who are young know not God, they know not love. They are searching, and they are victims. And those who are old ones will suffer, for they know love and they feel the pain of the world, and they are yet so unable to help. But even old souls have the danger to just descend into that pain, to give in and to hate. Yet, those from Daesh do not deserve our hate, they are people as we are. Even those who try to kill us deserve our love! This is not to say that what they do deserves love, on the contrary, that deserves to be damned, to be condemned. But the humans themselves, they are misled by liars who promise them literally the paradise if they go out and kill. They are victims as much as everyone else. Yes, they are murderers, they ultimately will need to be eliminated, but their very souls deserve love. They will be reborn - this is my belief, as I said - and they will feel the consequences of their actions. Those who rape will see how bad rape is - they might be raped in their next life or they might just see how a beloved one breaks from it or whatever other plans there are for their growth. Those who murder will feel the pain of the murder. For the victim there is no pain but bliss, but for those left behind there is pain, and that is what they will feel as well. They will learn their lessons, just as everyone did. In the time of darkness, this is the only consolation I can offer, that those who died will be in a place without suffering, without pain, until their wounds are healed, until they are reborn or until they ascend. But those who survive with injuries, they deserve our sympathy. Those who died deserve to be honored, they deserve their vigils, for even in the world of spirit this will make them happy, to see that they are remembered, but they will also be endlessly sad about the pain brought to their beloved ones.
This, as I said, is my belief, that you may most likely not share. But I felt it necessary to tell.
Pray for Paris, and while you're at it, stop not there but pray for all who suffer. Everyone deserves sympathy. Pray for those who want to kill us that they will have a change of heart, that they will see the way of love, that they realize that even they are wonderful people inside, deep buried under the hate they have, under their wrong ideas of religious war. Pray for them to repent, to leave the path of death, to find their true selves and to find the God they believed to follow. If they want to serve Allah, then pray for them to find Allah. But this goes for all the "religious" warriors. Pray for them to find their God, to find that it is so different from how they imagined it to be, that they are always loved, that they realize that the soul is the very essence of the eternal entity, just as love. Pray for them to realize that love can change more than hate. Miracles happen, and prayer is energy sent. I believe that if enough people pray, there is a strong reaction, and just maybe they might feel just that one moment of bliss that changes their life forever, that will make them oppose their former belief.
May the eternal love be with all that suffer and lead those who are evil to the right path!
