<p class="large"><span class="font-trebuchet-ms">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) </span>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".</p>
<p class="large"> </p>
<p class="large">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..."???</p>
<p class="large">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 ;)</p>
<p class="large">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.</p>
<p class="large">Mmmm that's all now...</p>
<p class="large">"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. <img src="http://www.lacoctelera.com/imag/ap/wysiwyg/emoticon_2.gif" alt="" />" -s.h</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.... <a href="http://www.goear.com/listen/a3e9317/about-a-girl-nirvana">"but most people don't know it..." ;) </a></p>

And, after a year. Full circle, not a Marry-go-round, certainly.<br />
What, I ask myself, such a question that supossedly I shloud've asked that same year ago. What was lost?</p>
<p>After a year I:<br />
- Have accomplished studies in German and have self taught journalism (the best I can by myself)<br />
- Got a wonderful spot for myself. With a view and a spare room - the creator room I call it.<br />
- Got a pc. A fucking awesome one.<br />
- 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)<br />
-Clothes of any type (the joy of going Op shopping with my girlfriend)</p>
<p>But.</p>
<p>That's part of it. In general my life:<br />
-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".<br />
Yeah, them. Those who got it easy and that never change because they got it all.<br />
My girlfriend, who's 22, owns a house, lives by herlself and pays for her studies told me:<br />
"-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.-"<br />
And so forth. My real points were:<br />
In a year I've created:<br />
- Wondelrful relationships with old andnew friends. Family, a wonderful girlfriend with I've been 9 months now.<br />
(The amusing thing is that as soon I left all the hippie rubbish behind, my magical garden manifested)</p>
<p>- 3 jobs, each one representing an aspect of my life, my dreams:</p>
<p>- A coffee maker<br />
- A Teacher<br />
- A journalist (yeah I made it. Even with my "situation")</p>
<p>If my life is shining,<br />
I didn't lose, but the dignity.</p>
<p>Clear is for me that those like the one I left behind will experience that they put on some others.<br />
I did, I pay for my freedom. I Am free.<br />
She didin't acknowledge her own process.<br />
And the shit will hit the fan.<br />
No doubt. There was too much i wasn't aware of at the time an too much I got blamed acussed and abused for.</p>
<p>Love?</p>
<p>Wake up.</p>
<p>A lifetime of forgiveness and amends.</p>

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

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

</p>
<p><strong>"Human Experience"</strong></p>
<p> My Dear Friends,</p>
<p>The physical world in which you find yourself is but ONE LEVEL of Infinite Multiversal Mind. It appears solid, though all things remain in motion, all of the time. You (and they) are continually changing, vibrating--mixing and mingling--exploring, tasting, experiencing. This is why you came here. And this is why portions of you will never, ever leave. </p>
<p>Some aspects of you move more rapidly than others. Just as vapor becomes water, and water becomes ice--so does the physical world crystallize into form all those issues and themes which Soul desires to experience more deeply. </p>
<p>Some have been forgotten, rejected, or disowned along your Soul's Path. Other issues simply deserve to be savoured, doted upon, and deeply enjoyed. For whatever reason, a portion of your Multidimensional Self has desired to come here, to solidify, and do whatever it is you are doing RIGHT NOW, in this moment. So be it. </p>
<p>"In the beginning was the WORD. And the word was with God. </p>
<p>And the word WAS God." ~John 1:1</p>
<p>We are The Reconnections. We represent all those parts of self which you had to forget about in order to become human. We've never really been far from you......just far enough. Within our ranks are represented all the necessary "bridge concepts" which can connect you to what is called The Multiverse---a limitless storehouse, made up of All That Has Been, All That Is, and All That Will Be. We are a Soul Group of concerned individuals who have come here to share with you, at your command, all that you have forgotten when you entered this World of Form. And so, we begin again.<br />
<strong><br />
THE POWER OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE</strong></p>
<p>"Human Beingness" is a design template for consciousness which allows for solid additions and subtractions of character and essence, so that observations and inferences can be made. In 3D life, you enter a clothing store in order that you may buy a coat. You find a rack, stand before a mirror, and you try each one on. In a sense, this is what being "human" is about. You get to try on "selves," one by one, so you can determine who or what to "wear" at any given moment.</p>
<p>Many of you approach us with the question: "Who am I?" You seem concerned, deeply engaged, and earnestly desirous to obtain certainty, power, and direction. We can most effectively answer this with a question of our own: "Who AREN'T you?" </p>
<p>This World of Illusion spends time and energy to single out specific conditions, traits, and attributes. Some of them appear to be positioned quite close to you---so close, in fact, that you believe you are inside them, peering out at a reality that is separate and apart, with a life all its own. In truth, what you see (at any level) is ALL YOU, every bit of it. Your experience of being here, or looking there is a but an optician's tool. A trick of the imagination. </p>
<p>If you were to close your physical eyes, and open up your "eyes of the mind," you could envision yourself anywhere, doing anything. And if so, does that Inner Image represent you less than the solidified Outer One? Of which "coat" that you try on do you choose to say: "This is mine? This is ME?" </p>
<p>The more solidified you become.......the more committed you are to a particular definition of "self" or an idea.........the less perceptual access you have to other parts of yourself. And that, too, is illusion. It is called "Focusing." In order to see one thing clearly, you must filter your attention stream so as to eliminate all other things which are also there. </p>
<p>It could be said that "out of elimination comes illumination," as your Multiversal Soul takes time and energy to get "up close and personal" with one or more aspects of All That Is. You live, you learn, you enjoy. That's how its works in the Human Sector of All That Is. </p>
<p><strong>RETURNING TO CENTER</strong></p>
<p>And now, you are preparing to be born, once again. The escalating sense of dissatisfaction which many of you are feeling---the decrease in body energy, the sense of dissociation you now feel about 3D living---comes from a waning interest in viewing THIS representation of what is real in favor of adopting ANOTHER one, which seems more suitable to your taste. You are in your mother's belly, sleeping and dreaming, and some unseen force is drawing you forward, into your next "life." </p>
<p>You are DISENGAGING..........whether slowly or rapidly.........in whatever manner that feels suitable to you. The birth canal expands, an opening in the Veil spreads itself before you. Even the idea of "this is who I once was" is beginning to fade. Slowly, steadily, they are all melting away, like polar ice caps in the sun. The ice becomes water, the water turns to vapor.......and is blown across the night sky towards another time, another place........where it can rain down upon the Earth, mixing and mingling and becoming INVOLVED once again. </p>
<p>Your mind may tell you "Quickly! It's time! Let go! Let it happen NOW!" But the mind is only a part of who you are, a wandering minstrel........looking for his new home. His wife and child (his emotions and physical body) travel far more slowly; taking time to feel, to recall, to consciously release connections to home, family, community, and all that was. Linear Experience. Past-Present-Future. It takes time to let it go. Truly........it takes what it takes. </p>
<p>Your body falters. Your mind wanders. "Am I dying?" you ask. "No, I guess not. I'm still here." But death, too, is illusion. A heart stops, a body topples to the ground.......and another coat goes to the pile. Back to the drawing board. Back to the rack to try on another.</p>
<p>Your CENTER, the nexus of who you are.........can bloom and blossom anywhere and anywhen it chooses. It takes but a moment, a twinkling of the eye! As long as you are demanding it, your watched pot never seems to boil. Isn't that amazing? It's "kitty kat" logic, you know. Cats are very free and independent. They do what they will do, when they wish to do it....regardless of what humans or even other cats tell them.</p>
<p>The World of Now is your mirror........your current reflection of SELF. Notice it, embrace it, accept it for what it is. Then and only then will you be ready to move along. Nothing happens by accident, and very few things stop just because you tell them to. Not at the ego level anyway. Control of your process will come in time. You will practice a new type of "reconnected" dominion. But before that can come you may experience darkness, confusion, bewilderment. That, too, is who you are. Not just now, but forever. Not just here, but everywhere. And much, much, more! Indeed, it is ALL you. Multi-level, Multi-faceted, Multi-D. </p>
<p>We love you. We admire you. We are always here. </p>
