Stephane has always been a figure with which I've conflicted with time after time. I had the chance of meeting a guy that recorded one of his DVDs back when Stephane, Lothar, this guy, me and many other people were hooked by the channellings of the Crimson Circle. I remember now how those who started listening to it for the first 8-9 years suddenly split and stop listening to it (not all of them, I'm sure) when at the CC they told us "we were fired" from any association to the stereotype of mystic, lightworker, hippie, new age, etc... as apparently we've done our job and now we were free to live life as complete "new" (I'm sure Tobias might be chuckling to himself when I struggle to say this) humans... aware and yet without any moralism or judgement but aware of the mechanics of thought processes, reality and its use -then again, the first 8-9 year "series".
Now I look at the shamanistic side of it (not did I chose theshamann back in 1999 for the mail @hotmail and used it ever since, watching it change, born and shift throughout the years as back in that time not many people had a theshamann -even less with the double "n" of my last name) and I think that probably that dream of that, still adolescent Adolfo of "super mystic neo-shamann" (haha) is actually coming true. As time passes the obsolescence of nowadays "teachers" (the same old in fact: Chopra, Cohelo, Osho, etc...) sound cliché and at times comically misleading. There's very good choices though but that's what I mean when I say that at this stage most teachings doesn't sound personally true to me but rather "universally accepted". Shamanism (said by them, not me) is the practice of the searching for the Truth, no more no less. It's not about God and it's, not ironically, in fact, closer to nature and the natural side of the universe than it is to "God". Have you heard a Shaman say "thanks to goddess nature for..." or have you heard him/her say "thanks to mother nature for..."???
Shamans don't even question topics like god, jesus, etc, in the way that we do in our current societies. Our conception of reality is way too biased towards religions and faith (thus Chopras and Cohelos as counterparts to the rescue of mankind) and forgets the basic elements of all that is. A shaman connects with nature as we would ever like to connect with god on "our" western society. From the moment we're born we are looking for the Truth as it is the organic nature of the body to start defining reality since we open our eyes; and if we dedicate to the practice of Truth rather than the search of God (which is Truth) we boceome our personal shamans and our personal connections with the universe in all its forms starts developing more personally and naturally... and that's when one of those days you become either a unicorn and disappear or a u.f.o comes and takes you :P ;)
Anyhow I came here to talk about Stephane and didn't and now I'm tired. I just wanted to make a comment of this paragraph which I relate a lot to but really, I'm tired.
Mmmm that's all now...
"What's more is I knew that I had just recorded something that would assist even myself. You see, on that part of the spiritual path called ‘the final run', there can be moments of great agony known as the "dark night of the ego." One either reaches a very high state and then crashes back down to an ordinary state, or there can be a trip to hell, as well as moments of great inner confusion. These so-called "dark nights" have been described by numerous saints over the centuries, and they really are as awful as everyone says they are. " -s.h
So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm good, intrinsically good. How that expresses to the outside world? Yeah I know, I'm full of viciousness and grudges... I'm the loner, Cash, Prestley, Pop, Morrison, just an archetype. If I have already understood that everything has no real label -contrary to those who live up to only positive positive associations, I have digged in my psyche for years, cleaning memories, associations of what most people have defined as good or bad. Some of the bad have been good and some of the good have been bad. Therefore at times I feel I can see beauty in places where for others is immoral, blasphemous, dammed or simply not corect.
I understand, I'm not a criminal either. But by disassociating the memories we have for those concepts that indeed we choose to think in life there's a big gap.... "but most people don't know it..." ;)
And, after a year. Full circle, not a Marry-go-round, certainly.
What, I ask myself, such a question that supossedly I shloud've asked that same year ago. What was lost?
After a year I:
- Have accomplished studies in German and have self taught journalism (the best I can by myself)
- Got a wonderful spot for myself. With a view and a spare room - the creator room I call it.
- Got a pc. A fucking awesome one.
- Books. Great amounts of them, donated, bought, given or just read (Among them my adorable Encyclopedia of Photojournalism that Robyn gave me by the time her house was sold)
-Clothes of any type (the joy of going Op shopping with my girlfriend)
But.
That's part of it. In general my life:
-Grew gigantic out of the sudden. Friends everywhere. I was truly, never alone. I just HAD TO SAY NO TO THAT WHICH ... oh, fuck them, fuck them all. Vicious rats of "first world" "fighting for what is important them" Ha. The same people that feel entitled to look down on you in a cafe, the same ex girfriend that bombed a world in her cause "for happiness".
Yeah, them. Those who got it easy and that never change because they got it all.
My girlfriend, who's 22, owns a house, lives by herlself and pays for her studies told me:
"-those are people that have lived with mom and dad,which their families pay for their studies and which socialcircle have never experience real struggle, but a bit of spoiled behaviour because they live so hipnotized they think people like you are criminals or wierdos with a lack of common sense. You know who they are?-" She said -"they same kids that write Indi rock.They will never sacrifice for growth, real sacrifice, they can't, they're numbed. The cancer of the first world.... ironically, it is them who are fucking supporting green peace.-"
And so forth. My real points were:
In a year I've created:
- Wondelrful relationships with old andnew friends. Family, a wonderful girlfriend with I've been 9 months now.
(The amusing thing is that as soon I left all the hippie rubbish behind, my magical garden manifested)
- 3 jobs, each one representing an aspect of my life, my dreams:
- A coffee maker
- A Teacher
- A journalist (yeah I made it. Even with my "situation")
If my life is shining,
I didn't lose, but the dignity.
Clear is for me that those like the one I left behind will experience that they put on some others.
I did, I pay for my freedom. I Am free.
She didin't acknowledge her own process.
And the shit will hit the fan.
No doubt. There was too much i wasn't aware of at the time an too much I got blamed acussed and abused for.
Love?
Wake up.
A lifetime of forgiveness and amends.
Not everything vanishes with prayers and good intentions.
Not all saints get what they deserved and not all eveil people pay for they're actionsor are condemned.
Takes spirit- Dark and white - to manifest.
Any other moralistic issue (religions, sects, groups, even ideas) suerly will die.
And so it is! =)

Jason me habló de ti.
También le comenté que los diarios étnicos tienen un presupuesto muy bajo para realizar más desarrollos. Lo que si puedo decirte es, si quieres, hacer algunos puntos de vista en algún tema de tu preferencia y que estén enfocados a la comunidad, tanto para conocimiento como para que tomen interés en cosas que a nosotros no nos da el tiempo de indagar, en loposible nacional (Australia).
Te contaré que en este bisemanario trabajamos solamente tres personas. Muchas personas, especialmente jóvenes se han interesado en colaboraciones, pero al no haber dinero envuelto deciden dejarlo para después...y les
entiendo.
Perdona la demora en la constetación,

Y es que importa mucho señores.
Me pasé unos minutos mirando todo lo que en tantos meses me he perdido,y que quizá no y que quizá haya sucedido tan intensamente como me ha sucedido a mí,y yo celebro.
Los celebro a uds, amigos, porque siempre están ahí, escribiendo, imprimiendo sus almas en letras, caracteres, se dan cuenta? Bueno, se me hace fascinante pensarlo, y de que manera, ver como se produce esta creación de cada uno yde todos, "en un papel".
Yo celebro.
Sigo ilegal con mis buenas causas y con un odio que me mueve como un asesino cuando se trata de mis sueños.
Y como el asesino, no voy a descansar.
Soy periodista.
Y lo he hecho por mis propios méritos; con el dolor que otros me han dejado y con la inmensa gratitud que ese dolor ha dejado como transformaciónpara mí.
Mejor que peor, en un mundo donde yo podría definir la realidad como "el total de todas las cosas irreales", sigo canatando una tonada, que cambia con el tiempo y que a la final nunca va a ser la misma.
Se han dado cuenta, como nos "perdemos" en la vida.
Viviendo por "uno mismo", pero enceguecidos "por alguien mas?
Se han dado cuenta como todo " es uno mismo" y "alguien mas" solo es "uno mismo" a travez del otro lado del reflejo de la vida?
Se han dado cuenta como "ser uno mismo" aveces el el mas duro csatigo, el mas frio, el mas falto de piedad y aun asi, el mas lleno de Amor "por uno mismo"?
Se han dado cuenta que "uno mismo" es el actor de su propio daño y que otros, si lo extendiera mas, la vida en si, son solo amor infinito de una de la cual "nadie es culpable" mas solo uno mismo "es responsable de?"
si regreso a mi vida, es a esto.A lo que amo, a escribir mas y quiza a escribir solo.
Mi vida, vuestra vida, ES uds, y vuestro refeljo en el espejo de la vida. No quienes creen y los actores de ella.
Buena noche.

"Awaken The Wussy Within"
Dearest Readers,
I am glad to see that so many of you watched, and definitely
enjoyed, "The Secret".
In case you missed out, here is the link again -
http://www.thesecretstory.com/Watch_The_Secret_Movie_Free.html
Now, I'd like to take the time to poke fun at one of my old
"heroes" Anthony Robbins.
Don't get me wrong - I started listening to his tapes and reading
his books when I was 15 years old, and it definitely made a
huge difference in my life.
HOWEVER...
It screwed up my RELATIONSHIPS.
You see, I was the guy in high school who had all the girls.
I was very, very spoiled from a young age.
Even though I didn't exactly have "GTP Consciousness" or anything
like that, I was definitely a "Natural". I instinctively understood
attraction, and even though I was quite shy, girls seemed to
flock to me.
>GTP Consciousness or "Relationship Mastery" -
http://www.ideagasms.com/content.jsp?c=TheGTP
Now, I could GET girls, but I certainly didn't know what to
do with them...
So eventually when I read "Awaken The Giant Within" by Tony
Robbins, I was very happy to find some good, sound relationship
advice when I turned to page 451, "Relationship Destiny".
I thought it would really help me.
Well guess what?
It screwed me up for YEARS!
The main thing that screwed me up was, and I quote:
"If you want your relationship to last, never, never, never,
ever, ever threaten the relationship itself. In other words,
don't ever say 'If you do that, then I'm leaving'."
Dear friends, I'm here to tell you that it is the exact polar
OPPOSITE. If you do not set clear boundaries and enforce them,
you are doomed.
Women are going to test you, OH MY GOD will they ever test you.
THE MOMENT a woman violates one of your core values, if you
don't do something to put a stop to it and let her know that
it is unacceptable...
I suppose that if you were a 6 foot 6 giant leader who also
happens to be a billionaire who travels the world helping millions
of people to empower their lives and so on, your girlfriend
will probably have so much respect for you that she'll never
"test" you.
She will think, "I better be nice to this one."
Let's face it, Tony is a pretty high status guy. I doubt if
he needs to do very much to keep his women happy and chasing
him.
At the time, I blindly followed his BAD advice. It sounded logical,
and after all, I looked up to him and trusted him immensely.
I started giving more and more of my power away, and losing
my girlfriends faster than ever.
If my girlfriend said she would call but didn't, I would "discuss
it" with her. If she acted like a bitch, I would "talk" about
our "feelings" while our relationship just circled down the
drain.
The bottom line is that I wasn't setting clear boundaries. I
was just discussing things with girls and arguing with them
on logical levels, which almost never works.
THANK GOD I eventually realized what was going on and fixed
it. I wouldn't be where I am today, and my relationships would
all suck...
I now hold the frame, "It's My Way (Love, Honesty, Loyalty,
Respect, etc.) OR THE HIGHWAY."
Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of respect for Tony and I
still believe that he does a lot of good in this world, but
on that one MAJOR point of his, he is wrong, wrong, wrong.
>Please note that my advice to actively threaten the end of
the relationship in a congruent "shape up, or ship out!" fashion
doesn't only apply to men, it applies to all self-respecting
human beings who want to enjoy incredibly satisfying, heartfelt
relationships.

***QUESTION FROM A WOMAN***
Hi Stephane,
I'm just wondering if you could share your take on something
that is starting to be a concern of mine in my relationship
with my partner.
When we talk together about topics and issues to do with ourselves
and each other, he doesn't look at me. He will often sit facing
somewhere else and will often even look directly the opposite
way when I am speaking to him. I've tried to treat this gently
and ask him whether he would look at me so I know that we are
connecting with each other. We are talking with each other so
I feel that it's not that he doesn't want to be there and share,
but it still makes me feel a bit uncomfortable that he won't
look at me and share directly with me.
He says that he feels "self-concious". My question is, what
is your take on this? I feel like he doesn't trust me enough
to share directly with me. I want to be able to develop a really
strong and safe space in which he will share with me without
feeling this way. Is there something you can suggest to help
me understand what he is going through and how I can help him
move through this so that we can keep growing together?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Alice
>>>MY COMMENTS:
What kind of a man cannot even look his woman in the eye while
talking to her?
I suppose he might have been wounded in the past, and is afraid
to open up again. Or perhaps he's ashamed of himself.
Or... Maybe he has something to hide.
Who knows.
Either way, you have to ask yourself if you can continue to
live this way. He is violating one of your core values.
If he was "wounded" then he needs to ask himself why he chose
that experience. He needs to be a man and take responsibility
for the part he played in getting wounded, learn the lessons,
and get over his fear of intimacy.
If he cannot do that, then he simply isn't strong enough. He's
not relationship material.
On the other hand, his refusal to look you in the eye might
also be a huge warning sign that he cheated on you or betrayed
your trust in some way.
Now, he says that he feels "self-conscious", but what exactly
does he MEAN by that? WHAT is the fear?
I personally can't stand it when someone I am in a relationship
with won't open up to me. It doesn't exactly inspire trust,
you know?
If a girl I was dating refused to look me in the eye while talking
to me, I would want to know the reason.
If she cannot tell me the reason, then she cannot be in a relationship
with me. She should go find someone who hates eye contact or
something. I need a strong woman who can open her Heart, and
nothing less than that will do.
I have said to girls, "Let me get this straight. You feel comfortable
enough to spread your legs and take me inside you, but you're
afraid to TELL me something? Um-hmmm."
Alice, you seem like one of the most compassionate, sweet, gentle
and nurturing women ever to grace my inbox.
And your boyfriend is afraid to LOOK at you?
Is this acceptable to you or not?
Giving ULTIMATUMS is a necessity in today's dating world. Otherwise
people will eat you alive. It really is a jungle out there,
and people treat you the way that you train them to treat you.
Anything less than Spiritual Warrior energies and you will simply
fail in today's dating world. You simply MUST hold your loved
ones to a higher standard - relationships are about personal
growth.
Your relationships will never reach their fullest potential
unless you start setting clear boundaries and offering very
real ultimatums to let people know you mean buisness. If they
cannot understand simple things like Love, Honesty, Respect,
Open Communication, and so on, then they are NOT ready to be
in a relationship.
Most people do not set clear boundaries and offer real ultimatums
because they are afraid of losing the person. They don't want
to scare their partner away.
But in my experience, setting boundaries and holding your ground
usually draws them in closer!
Sure, she might leave and go off somewhere to feel sorry for
herself... For a WHILE.
But then they usually come right back and apologize because
they know you are RIGHT. The truth always wins (unless her self-esteem
is too low to handle the truth).
You see, I am always right.
I tell my girlfriends all the time, "Steph knows best."
Sounds like a pretty strong statement, doesn't it?
I'm always right simply because I am a Spiritual Warrior. The
only things I ever insist on and absolutely ENFORCE in my relationships
are LOVE-BASED - Honesty, Loyalty, Respect, Appreciation, Compassion,
Dignity, Growth, Purpose, Integrity, and so on.
My core values are not an option. My girlfriends don't get to
"vote" about these things.
So... I'm always right, AND they always seem to come back for
more once they've cooled off AND their attraction goes through
the roof when they can see that I'm strong enough to hold my
ground.
Fear Of Loss doesn't run my life anymore, LOVE is my priority.
>Just make sure that when you threaten to end the relationship
that you actually mean it. This isn't a fear-based manipulation
tool, it is about being true to your core values.
Boy am I glad I finally learned this stuff...
Namaste.
Be well,
Stephane
