I've experienced a drastic and very positive awakening in 2007 going into 2008 in a lifetime search (47 years in this body) towards inner peace.

I became aware of the change with my study on Aikido in 2003 but when I view backwards, it started far before I was born and I've been on the right track for myself all my life in this shape I'm in right now.

The conscienceness that there is more than the eye can see started when I was intrigued by the FLOW in Aikido and bought books on it (chiksentmyhaly), desperate to get more of it. The FLOW in myself is very very peacefull, no judgement, no pain, no history, no past, just being in a phenomenal energetic state.

From FLOW I got into Effortless Living by Rudie de Graaff (because we put a lot of energy in worrying and moaning whilst doing things, in my view).
Found a link in myself towards the Samurai way of living and started to see my path in the mist: Catalyst, inventor, solver of situations (there are no problems, only situations). All came together, all I've done, all I endured, all I learned, all the choices I've made had there purpose to bring me to this glorious point.

Started to study on Synchronicity (Dyer, Chopra, Jung, Tolle)
I got my internal BigBang (awakening) in the spring of 2008 and kept on studying and got very active on the Dutch forum on internal change: HetHoudtNooitOp.

Due to my internal change I've threw away all I possessed: had two companies, was completely tangled up in business strategies, targets, win/lose situations, manipulations, 150 emails a day, 50 voicemails, time raced past me and stopped it completely on november 12 2008: on that day I took my bag, my Aikido suit, little money and got myself a one way ticket to Scotland, where I still am today, working as a HandyMan on a SelfCatering Cottage Centre.

I unchained myself and got aware of my awareness, conscience of what was going on: the judging, the push/pull of my Mind, the patience of my Soul, the effect love and hate has on relationships, the game most of us play to get what we want regardless the others. True Hell on Earth is right there in front of them.

I've changed it into a lifetime Heaven on Earth on the day of my awakening.

The unchaining is also in spiritual ways from my family, my so called friends who fled when I sold my companies, my house, stopped my relationship with my girlfriend, gave my things and money away....unchained from the dependencies and did put my Soul back into charge of my life. My Mind has done a glorious job untill now, but the time has come for me to run on SoularPower :-)

Since that day all I wish to do is to be of service to others where ever I can and the Synchro's (Synchronicity directives) helped me enormously where ever I go: I got back in touch with God and I'm very, very greatfull to that point in my life where I reconnected with this phenomenal power station in us all.
Reading the books of Stephen Covey I get a great insight on the spiritual; behaviour of companies in the future, the link between the new way of doing business in a connected way, running merely on my intuition.

Whilst searching for international forums on the subject on internal change, I bumped into this place, so I will try to be of service to you all, exchanging our experiences.

We all recognize a lot of changes in ourselves by exchanging experiences and philosofy on the subject of internal shifting. I notice that there are only few people on this earth aware of their awareness and our change and spiritual awakening, so I thank you all for your posts uphere.

Life's Great, enjoy it to the max, every moment of the day.
