  How Do I Get Into Flow? The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  “If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. “Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. “If God gives such att...

  Hoe Kom Ek In  Vloei? Die Gesprek  Elemente Uit Die Gesprek  “Daarom sê Ek vir julle: Moet julle nie bekommer oor julle lewe, oor wat julle moet eet of drink nie, of oor julle liggaam, oor wat julle moet aantrek nie. Is die lewe nie belangriker as kos en die liggaam as klere nie? Kyk na die wilde voëls: hulle saai nie en hulle oes nie en hulle maak nie in skure bymekaar nie; julle hemelse Vader sorg vir hulle. Is julle nie baie meer werd as hulle nie? Trouens, wie van julle kan deur hom te bekommer sy lewe met een enkele uur verleng? En wat bekommer julle julle oor klere? Let op hoe groei die veldlelies: hulle swoeg nie en hulle maak nie klere nie. Maar Ek sê vir julle: Selfs Salomo in al sy prag was nie geklee soos een van hulle nie. As God dan die gras van die veld, wat vandag nog daar is en môre verbrand word, so versier, hoeveel te meer sal Hy dan nie vir julle sorg nie, julle kleingelowiges? Julle moet julle dus nie bekommer en vra: ‘Wat moet ons eet of wat mo...

  Flow The Conversation  Apologies for any background sounds. While recording, the dogs lie at our feet and bump against the camera stand. Elements From The Conversation   “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”              ...

  Vloei Die Gesprek  Ons vra verskoning vir die dowwe agtergrondgeluide wat soms in die opname gehoor word. Die honde lê by ons voete en stamp aanhoudend teen die kamera-staander.

  And . . . Enneagram The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music Feeling blue, or depressed is something we tend to avoid at all cost. However, it can be a very wise guide, the bearer of healing and growth. It tends to reveal those times and places where we are off track in our search for ourselves. As Birdtalker sings: But you wipe clean All of these illusions that ain't me Peace, you told me, I'm only here to reveal Where you've been stuck and where you're going if you're lookin' to heal But you've gotta drop these vain addictions and hang on to what's real In essence the message of the Enneagram.  “Ask, and you will receive;  seek, and you will find;  knock, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks will receive,  and anyone who seeks will find,  and the door will be opened to those who knock.”                                     ...

  En . . . Enneagram Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Neerslagtigheid, of 'n doodse gevoel is iets wat ons so vêr as moontlik probeer vermy. Dit kan egter ook 'n wyse leermeester wees en juis genesing bring, omdat dit dikwels uitwys wanneer ons op verkeerde plekke na onsself soek. Soos Birdtalker sing: But you wipe clean All of these illusions that ain't me Peace, you told me, I'm only here to reveal Where you've been stuck and where you're going if you're lookin' to heal But you've gotta drop these vain addictions and hang on to what's real Dis juis die Enneagram se boodskap.  “Vra, en vir julle sal gegee word; soek, en julle sal kry; klop, en vir julle sal oopgemaak word, want elkeen wat vra, ontvang; en elkeen wat soek, kry; en vir elkeen wat klop, sal oopgemaak word.”                                                      ‭‭Matt ‭7...

  Monkey Mind The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  The role of a spiritual director, therapist or good friend. What helps with the recurring thoughts is the return to the stable centre, the safe base camp where God is always waiting. On arrival we find that He has already lit the fire. Two examples of  affirmations. Music “.... let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind.” ‭‭.                                                  Rom12‬:‭2‬ ‭GNT‬‬ With love. George & Matilda

  Dronkdink Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Die rol van 'n geestelike begeleier, terapeut of goeie vriendin/vriend. Wat help met die malende gedagtes is die terugkeer na die onveranderlike kern, die veilige basiskamp waar God altyd wag. Wanneer ons daar kom, ontdek ons dat Hy die vuur reeds aangesteek het. Twee voorbeelde van bevestigings of  "affirmations". Musiek “.... laat God julle verander deur julle denke te vernuwe.”                                                         ‭‭Rom‭12‬:‭2‬  Met liefde. George & Matilda
