Fear (Original Poetry)
Fear is stored in the kidneys. It’s a low-frequency vibration, an altered state of consciousness. Fear is at the lower end of the spectrum, accompanied by nuances such as guilt, shame, and anger, to name a few.
Danger is real; fear is a choice, an illusion. This poison will captivate every single cell in your body, lowering your energy and tricking your mind into believing all kinds of false narratives. If you get addicted to this contracted state of consciousness and even call it your home, disease will be a natural consequence.
Know that you are a powerful being. Love your kidneys.
💎💎💎
**Fear (Original Poetry)**
A low-frequency vibe
pulsating from the inside
of a mighty organ
hiding in plain sight
thus tricking the blurry mind
into thinking it can survive.
I observed the mathematical code
stuck in the adrenal flow
unconsciously following a path
it was designed to control.
Two mighty towers
give you access to Earth’s power
once out of balance
intruders can access the palace
injecting malicious patterns
into your blood vessels.
Stripped of light and sound
a dark fluid engulfs your compound
pulling your majestic being to the ground
turning you into a slave of those around.
We call it fear in this realm
encoded carefully by soulless entities
in the illusion we interpret as life
an inverted reality shining brightly in disguise.
Its home is inside your avatar
locked in your kidneys
this is where it survives
an unwanted guest you might confess
how big is your addiction, I have to ask?
Remember, you’re the alchemist
the quantum architect,
a Starseed from the multiverse,
a super-human with galactic DNA
it’s up to you what you tolerate.

The Cosmic Currency (Original Poetry)
Gold, Sterling, Dollar, Crypto … We call them commodities or currencies while forgetting that they are nothing more than pieces of code we use to interact with the system.
These geometrical codes have tricked the vast majority of the inhabitants of this tiny dimension into believing a false reality cleverly designed to hide the most valuable currency we possess. While the mind is trapped in this holographic illusion, spinning in circles inside a cube, the inversion continuously evolves.
We were sold a concept of duality where separation reigns while all the goodies of the multiverse reside in the not-so-empty space. A majestic trick that works amazingly well on those who choose to sleep in a world they label as “safe”.
💎💎💎
**The Cosmic Currency (Original Poetry)**
Mesmerized by your shiny appearance
we thought you ruled the world
only to find out
that a solid mineral
was a worthless commodity
compared to what was about to unfold.
They came with ships from far-away planets
portals were used to smuggle the resources
from this magnificent turquoise sphere
our homeland, the place we call Earth.
Trapped in the illusion
based on false mathematical codes
we were served the Fibonacci spirals
to run our lives disconnected from Source.
Tricking the mind is easy
helping the ego to supercharge
while suppressing the heart’s consciousness
limiting it to what we perceive as space and time.
The power came from the inside
a fail-safe command installed by the wise
who once inhabited these vast lands
using ancient crystalline frequencies
bathing in sound and light.
How do you deal with the awakened ones
when they realize
the currency you’ve set up
is a one-way motorway
feeding the system
like a hungry beast
fearful of its own shadow
yet pride and cocky enough
to hide inside a matrix of disgust?
You are a powerful being,
playing a multidimensional game
without boundaries and frames.
Be aware everything happens at once
choose your next move
like a cosmic chess player
equipped with unique experiences,
infinite knowledge and wisdom from the stars.
Tune in to high-frequency vibes
raise your energy, don’t sell out
use love to heal and protect your physical avatar
let your life force guide the light inside the jar
to seamlessly activate your third eye.

The Mirror (Original Poetry)
Once we find ourselves in the labyrinth of human life, we forget why we came here and who we are. Confusion blurs our mind and heart, trapping the spirit in a stiff avatar.
As time as we perceive it passes by, some brave souls wake up and question the nature of the game, the grand illusion they happily subscribed to. Realizing that we’re all part of a universal family is hard to fathom in a world focused on singularity where external stimuli have been cleverly encoded into the dystopia to deactivate our powerful DNA.
This is where relationships and love can help us thrive. All the beautiful souls that cross our path will trigger and hold up a mirror for us to realize that we possess the keys to unlock a magical life.
❤️❤️❤️**Wishing You All A Happy Valentine’s Day!**❤️❤️❤️
💎💎💎
**The Mirror (Original Poetry)**
I stare into your eyes
and stop.
Who are you?
Who am I?
I’m puzzled.
My breath is shallow
something doesn’t feel right
I asked a valid question
Why is my spinal fluid
sending error messages
across the universal line?
Blue was once the color of your eyes
a reflection of my torso
where codes are analyzed
Once the electric grid was fired up
I realized
the importance of the present moment
Why am I not surprised?
You were the perfect mirror
for a low frequency hidden in plain sight
I’m grateful for the release
and the painful lesson
as it affected several areas of my life.
There will come a day
when you’ll forget your human avatar
Be brave, go beyond space-time
remember who you really are.
I see your beautiful soul
vibrating above the material realm
it’s up to you to upgrade your life
and expand your cosmic heart.
The transition wasn’t smooth
although I always knew
there’s only one truth
that keeps the human family in tune.
LOVE.❤️

Galactic Titans (Fiction)
*“We’ve been in and out of this dimension over the past decade. It’s been a fascinating game. The human family is going through a massive spiritual awakening and the Draco are having difficulties keeping the avatars on their timeline. What’s your call Tomby?”*
Tomby shielded his eyelids and responded with a heavy tone.
*“I don’t understand why someone would cue up to descend to this high-density realm. I must be missing something, but anyway, back to your question Amber.*
*The Galactic Federation asked us to prepare a detailed analysis of the current state of affairs on Earth. They’re looking to evaluate the work of the different starseeds, light beings, you name it, and see who else is needed to expand consciousness so that we can plug back humans into their initial twelve-strand DNA.”*
*“Now that’s a task I would have never volunteered to do. So boring. Not my thing. I’m glad the Federation got their analysts to come here and witness the mayhem and chaos with their own eyes. Every time I report back to Her Majesty, she thinks I’m transmitting some bad jokes. They’re too far away from what’s happening in these lower spheres.”*
Amber opened an information portal and quickly sent a string of codes through the ether before repeating the initial question: *“What’s your call Tomby?”*
*“Yeah, now that I get to see and perceive everything from this plain, I understand your transmissions more accurately. Look, Amber, I was asked to get in touch with you as you have access to the specific data as to how many Draco and Reptilians are still here. Please give me the numbers.”*
Amber looked at Tomby and burst out laughing.
*“This is one of those bad jokes coming from the Federation, isn’t it?”*
*“No. They really wanna know the numbers.”*
*“I’m a multidimensional galactic warrior. I get rid of Draco and Reptilians who have violated the galactic code, I don’t count them.”*
**********
A team of Felines walks over to Amber’s camp where warriors from Sirius and Lyra are testing the new weaponry they received from Galactic XT.
*“I can’t believe the Fed sent their analysts to collect numbers from you.”*
*“Believe it or not, that’s what they did. Sometimes I wonder how the Council can work with these folks. Good to see you, Jay. How was the hunt?”*
*“We caught a significant number of them last week at one of their gatherings in the mountains and sent them through a nearby portal to Sirius. I don’t think they’re happy about their new home.”* Jay winked and smiled.
*“Thanks for helping me out Amber. How’s your playground for the new humans coming along?”*
*“Keeping Draco and Reptilians from hijacking their minds has been quite challenging. I’m delighted to see some major improvements though. These new humanoids have faster processors allowing them to remember quicker who they truly are. Once we connect them to the frequency of love their divinity shines through their eyes. It’s been fascinating to witness the transformation. Sovereign beings display colorful patterns that shine beyond their Merkaba field. A remarkable upgrade I must admit.”*
*“Excellent. I didn’t expect less from you. Is Her Majesty happy with the results?”*
*“You know her. As long as we manage to create a safe place for these beautiful spirits to express their multidimensional faculties, we’re good.”*
*“They are something, aren’t they.”*
*“That’s why their energy is the most precious commodity in our Orange galaxy. The Royal family wants to protect them and this makes us their guardians.”*
*“I’m cool with that Amber. I noticed you got a fancy delivery from XT. Nice. Btw, did you hear about Princess Maya’s and Prince Toruk’s return back to Sirius B?”*
*“Yeah. Tony pulled them out, didn’t he? Everything I know, I learned from him. Send him my regards when you see him. Come, I’ll show you the new sound weapon we intend to deploy underwater in case the Earthlings try to launch another world war.”*
Amber and Jay looked at each other and sighed in unison: *“These human beings never get it, do they?”*

Frequency Warrior (Original Poetry)
A multidimensional mind
trapped in a human vessel
you came to this realm
to fight an energetic battle.
How will you deal with the war imprint
that plays out inside of you
tormenting, manipulating, and controlling
the very essence you thought to be true?
You knew about the mystery of the soul
the multifaceted layers of consciousness
before the illusion hijacked your senses
inviting you to dance with lower energies
serving you debilitating feelings.
A competitive, predatory behavior
forced you into thinking
you’re not celebrated for failure
and this is how you forgot
about your collaborative nature.
Powerless energetically
weak vibrationally
what a destructive belief
that is running through the veins
of a vast majority of the Earthlings.
*Do you want to live in a factory*
*where entities suck out your energy?*
Stop looking for an escape from this timeline
wake up and become one.
Divided we fall, connected we thrive
know that your vibe will attract your tribe.
Focus on your heart
get in touch with your intuitive mind
these are your two most important weapons
on this human journey of ascension.

Abundance (Original Poetry)
*The poor have a poor mindset* I recall my teacher Robert Kiyosaki saying. Poor people are those who spend money before they’ve earned it. Given it is a mental state, this deeply ingrained imprint goes far beyond the financial aspect of life. In a world of duality, therefore, abundance is a frequency that encapsulates all areas of the human experience.
I associate abundance with vibrant health, a positive lookout on life, beautiful, inspiring, and harmonious relationships, time and money freedom. A couple of weeks ago, I reconnected with a very dear friend of mine from the past. We lost touch during the past two decades as we both moved to different countries and went on designing our lives.
Although we’ve not seen each other for such a long time, we picked up our conversation where we left off, as if all this linear 3D time span never existed. We’ve always had a very special connection and I’m so grateful to have him back into my life. Sharing precious moments, joining forces, and working on business and tech projects to boost both our companies, planning a joint kite surfing experience and vacation has reinforced my view on the vibrational pattern of abundance.
This is for you R.
💎💎💎
**Abundance (Original Poetry)**
I tapped into you
and immediately knew
the frequency you withdrew
a few years ago
when I stopped
paying attention to you.
You thought I chose to disregard you
but quite the opposite was true
I focused my energy on healing the outer blue
only to realize that I could always rely on you.
I associated significance,
money, fame, and fortune with you
I believed the false gospel
until I turned inwards and uncovered
your core resonance governed by love and truth.
No words, sounds, or images
can convey the stunning mosaic
created by high vibrational patterns
eager to outline the beauty that shapes you.
Your appearance makes you stand out from the group
although your energetic imprint blurs our senses
trapping us into thinking
this illusion we call reality is true.
The universe taught me a precious lesson
as I was finally willing to listen
without judging my thoughts
and operationalizing the emotions
that captured my spirit in an infinite loop.
Here I am, looking at the morphic field
that divides the human species
making us believe we’re insignificant,
broken pieces of a larger puzzle,
random sparkles of dust
unable to reconnect with the divine.
I learned to decode your signal from a legit master
hiding in plain sight making you wonder:
Why do we keep running in circles like tigers?
Thank you for opening my heart with a thunder
I’m grateful to share this amazing journey with you,
abundance.

The Opportunity is in the Uncertainty
**In the world of entrepreneurship, uncertainty prevails. The journey is chaotic, full of traps and pitfalls thus adding a special flavor to the adventure while shaping the individual accordingly.**
Embarking on this journey, putting on the solopreneur or small business owner hat, requires resilience and a strong willingness to learn. While increasing mental stamina, knowing how to juggle with numbers (e.g. cash flow), and being a visionary and avid salesperson are key ingredients, there’s always room for someone to bring on the team to help you with most of the above.
However, there is one component, you won’t be able to outsource and that’s your ability to deal with or better yet, embrace uncertainty.
If I say to you, that you’ll have to learn to dance with uncertainty, you might laugh at me.
But think about it:
*Can you predict your future?*
Yes, you can set time aside to strategize where you want to take your business.
Obviously, it’s wise to have money parked in the business to grab an opportunity when it shows up or cover certain losses when they arise.
Indeed, you can hire top people on the team to help you scale the business and increase your base line but at the end of the day, there’s always going to be a blind spot, a space I like to call mystical that will surprise you and take you to places you never thought existed.
Therefore, instead of dwelling and torturing yourself with the notion of the unknown, rather giving in and embracing the magic of uncertainty is an interesting way of approaching challenges in business and life in general.
**Staying Open to the Marvelous World of All Possibilities**
We see and know so little about our business, life, and the universe, and yet we think we have it all under control. What a fallacy.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand, appreciate, and value the importance of bouncing ideas back and forth with people who have a different perspective on business and life.
Realizing that I can’t see the picture when I’m in the frame has opened my mind to a plethora of new, revolutionary insights. For example, a few weeks ago, I visited an exhibition on astrophotography and was struck by the concept of making sophisticated patterns look easy to grasp and for the mind to digest.
We tend to over-complicate processes in business ending up mesmerized by the sheer amount of tasks that cripple our creativity and drain our most vital source of energy, our life force.
Stress, frustration, anxiety, and similar low-vibration feelings hijack our consciousness thus urging us to avoid the unknown and run away from everything that is unfamiliar or might sprinkle a dust of uncertainty onto our well-shaped reality. We think that protecting our ‘Escape-land’ will somehow move us forward and bring us closer to our goals while the exact opposite happens.
“**Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.”** – Tony Robbins
We’ve heard this quote so often and despite being regurgitated all over the web, we continue to run after the first part of the equation which more often than not is associated with money and fame, disregarding the crucial second part.
*How well is numbing your senses working out for you?*
For well over a decade, I played the success roulette running around like a hamster convinced that climbing at the top of some random mountain would give me everything I always wanted, only to end up feeling empty.
It was one of the most precious lessons I learned in life as it forced me to rethink my path and create a new life that included precious elements I’ve not considered previously such as protecting my time and energy ferociously, working with people I value, and deeply care about, allow my creative juices to flow freely and open up to new possibilities.
**Trust Your Intuitive Intelligence. Let it Deal with Uncertainty.**
Uncertainty is part of this 3D reality. Embracing it will allow you to experience inner peace and surrender to what will come your way. Obviously, this doesn’t mean you’re not encouraged to design and build your life according to your morals and principles. What this means, is freeing up space in your mental and emotional imprint so that you can use that additional fuel to boost your life as you see fit.
It all comes down to choice which is a powerful weapon we possess. In a world of duality, you either surrender to the unknown or you let it eat you alive.
**What’s it going to be? Will you** **befriend uncertainty** **or will you allow it to become your worst enemy? Choose wisely.** https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/why-you-need-to-make-uncertainty-your-best-friend/

Ancestors (Original Poetry)
The longer I follow the white rabbit, the more I realize how little I know. As I wrote today’s poem, I had to think about the different techniques we deploy to have life-altering mystical experiences where we immerse ourselves in the unknown to leave our unique imprint on this planet.
In the past few years, I’ve noticed an increasing number of successful entrepreneurs and business owners dive into the realm of spirituality and openly talk about their adventures. Some use different types of plant medicine to squeeze their thirst for the mystical, others (me included) like to tap into our reservoir of DMT without using external stimulants.
I’m an avid student of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s breath technique as it enables me to super-charge my energy centers and thus explore a plethora of dimensions that are available to all of us in the quantum field.
💎💎💎
**Ancestors (Original Poetry)**
Heal, heal, my beloved heart
you’ve been judged so hard
by a parasite that captured the light
lowering the frequency to tear humanity apart.
I hear you weeping
while you’re fighting the shadows
that are desperately trying
to feed from your sadness and anger
while you’re pulling out the arrows.
Encapsulated in a rib cage
protected by darkness
a tiny sparkle with a strong desire
is asking for help from light beings
and wise masters.
A clear intention and a coherent partner
provide a direct connection to thy ancestors
flooding your sacred heart with love,
hope and laughter.
Blue light and white petals
I’m engaged in a mystical experience
with beautiful flavors
you know exactly what I’m referring to
my beloved dancer.
An electric body creating unique imprints
onto waves and patterns
moving rhythmically through the ether
grateful for the adventures as a seeker.
Wipe those salty tears from your cheeks
you never needed fancy wings
pull yourself out of the weeds
we’re here to help you when you’re fatigued.

Intrinsic Intelligence (Original Poetry)
You call yourself a seeker
without knowing thyself
a hunter,
a gatherer
of knowledge,
power,
and wisdom
Are you willing to embrace change?
Beliefs,
identities,
patterns,
you proudly wear these jackets
without questioning the meaning of life.
Am I lovable?
Am I worthy?
You want to belong,
uncover truths on your path
digging yourself deeper
into the endless vortex of misery
you created
by relying on external voices,
great magicians,
amazing energy vampires
feeding from your weakness
once you let your guard down.
Stop walking half-dead through life
turn inwards
observe your thoughts
surrender to the present moment
and let consciousness flood your cells
with endless energy
that is available to all of us.
Joy,
bliss,
ecstasy,
Why look for enlightenment
when your intrinsic intelligence
is wiser than any mystic
you’re desperately trying to find
in the world outside.
Frustration,
anxiety,
shame,
guilt,
When did we become addicted
to these altered states of consciousness
we label as normal
in this 3D realm gone haywire.
A human experience
so wonderful,
and unique by design.
You chose this adventure
disconnect from the noise
it’s time to remember
who you truly are.

Juggling Boxes without Friction
**How many boxes can you juggle in life without burning out? Have you discovered the sweet spot that enables you to move swiftly and friction-free between your pots?**
Some boxes are more important than others. The core ones stay with us our whole lives whereas the seasonal ones will leave us at a certain stage aka cycle in life. The fundamental boxes are pretty much the same for all of us: health, love in the form of family, relationships and friendships, and career or business.
Is there a main box? And if so, which one is it?
Well, it’s the one that is with us from the first until the last breath we take. It’s the SELF box – not to be confused with the “shelf” box, although more often than not, we place ourselves last.
And then, there are the seasonal boxes as I like to call them. Some of the most prevalent ones are the sports, hobbies, and passion boxes.
Obviously, none of the boxes will ever be 100% pure; in the sense that you will have sports, passion, hobby, health, and love, for example, intertwined.
**Stacking or Juggling Boxes – What’s it going to be?**
Let me start by confessing that I’ve not figured this out for myself either. More so, I’m not over-analyzing or obsessing with it, as I think we’re here to experiment and try out as many things as possible.
Recently, I published an article on the Hive blockchain where I shared some **insights about the act of balancing my core boxes in life**. I defined my three main pots as health, family/relationships/friendships, and business. Furthermore, I shared Baroness Karren Brady’s three boxes which are similar to mine, except that she has “self” instead of my “health” box. https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@kriszrokk/balance-knowledge-and-life
Yes, we can argue whether health is part of the “self” box and so forth, but that’s not the point of this topic. What I want to emphasize, is the importance of the following two aspects:
1. Knowing your boxes
2. Consciously choosing between boxes
How often have you tried to multi-task and have gloriously failed at it?
If the answer is “always”, *you’re at least not lying to yourself.*
This is where the SELF box comes into play. Investing time into knowing ourselves is crucial. As we move along in life and things get thrown at us aka life happens, we need time to adjust to external factors. This enables us to navigate the stormy waters with a heightened consciousness, without destroying ourselves and those around us.
Let’s tackle the terminology of “truth” in this context.
We all define and perceive truth differently. There is no universal truth albeit there are physical laws that apply to our physical reality as well as quantum principles that govern higher dimensions.
I’ve seen the concept of truth best play out in presentations and conversations. A couple of weeks ago I was part of an exercise where we had someone recite 20 words that were associated with going to bed at night. Funny enough, **the word “bed” was never mentioned**. Instead, words such as a pillow, dreams, snooze, alarm, night, etc. were enumerated.
When asked what words were used, **one-third of the audience said “bed”**. And here’s the kicker: This very same third of the audience was convinced that the word “bed” was among the 20 words spoken out loud. Even when the words were played back from a recording some of them couldn’t deal with the fact that they were wrong.
So, what’s the truth when we have such discrepancies when hearing a message?
This is why, you can’t project what you perceive as true onto others. What may be true for you, isn’t necessarily true for the person you’re talking to. Furthermore, you can’t expect the person next to you to understand your truth. Doing so, more often than not results in conflict.
**What’s truth got to do with boxes?**
The most important takeaway here is to be as honest and true as possible with yourself while acknowledging the fact, that **your mind will play all kinds of tricks on you**. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/your-life-is-a-battle-with-your-mind/
So, if you can’t trust your mind to tell the truth, whom can you trust?
Maybe your heart?
How often has your heart misguided you especially when it wasn’t properly in tune with the mind?
Always?
I’ve come to understand, that there is no perfect truth so to speak. The closest truth is the one coming from intuition, given we are vibrating at a high enough frequency that enables our innate intelligence to guide us.
Therefore forcing our perceived truth onto others causes distress and is detrimental to fostering genuine, strong human relationships.
I’ve got two more questions for you before I wrap this up for today:
1. What do you believe to be true that isn’t?
2. Have you asked yourself whether you’re operating from a framework of “truth” assumptions that might be totally wrong?
We are all plugged into this reality with our five senses and the best thing we can do is define our boxes, and consciously choose between them. If we can’t accomplish this task and apply it to our lives, *how can we expect the world to become a better place?*
If we can’t juggle our boxes without friction, who are we to advise and worse, blame other people as to how they should run their lives?
In the end, it’s all a show and we get to pick and choose the character that we want to identify with. Some choose to extract life’s juices by convincing themselves that they can multi-task several boxes, while others find a way for better or worse to balance their core boxes.
**Juggling boxes without friction requires self-mastery. In the end, we’re all here to experiment, experience, and play.**

Overdrive (Original Poetry)
A glitch on my computer caused by a VPN colliding with my latest Linux Ubuntu version made me open the terminal and venture down a rabbit hole of discovery. Little did I know (and expect) that I would end up on a very obscure coding path.
Windows was the OS that haunted me while working in the corporate world. Later, when I joined the entrepreneurial realm, I embraced the slickness and robustness of macOS. However, as time passed, I started being annoyed by different apps not working on older systems while also understanding big tech’s marketing bonanza to convince everyone with a pulse and a wallet to buy their next best thing for a “few” bucks.
As I uncover the fascinating playbook of Linux and its different distributions (distros for the geeks), I see myself driving on a nerdy highway alongside other amazing divine sparks unwilling to settle for the status quo.
💎💎💎
**Overdrive (Original Poetry)**
The luminescent sky turned red
a perfect reflection of my inner state
when the feeling of abandonment questioned my path
rejuvenation welcomed the underlying wrath.
A beeping sound
a cursor waiting for instructions
here I am looking at the terminal:
Where are those commands that will help me solve this problem?
Technology disrupted current patterns
informational imprints causing havoc in the DNA structure
chains altered the wisdom of the old masters
dislodging the breaks that glued the familiar sculpture.
A flickering woke me up.
Picture this you little disciple,
self-esteem is built through disaster.
The blisters you gather are remarkable marbles
serving as models for an upcoming change
that will shape the world you perceive as a safe harbor.
Close the lid, walk away peacefully and ponder
upon the mosaic that was revealed to you
in the eternal weakness of the night
you graciously avoided the moment life got harder.
I hit the gas pedal to escape the shadows faster
only to realize that I’m stuck in a wheel like a hamster.
What a marvelous trap, a perfect illusion
designed with grandeur by the architect of evolution.
A clever game, a labyrinth, a maze
how is your soul going to behave
when the brain is on overdrive
and the heart twisted in a spiral?
I’m not afraid,
I came here to navigate
so get out of my way
if you want to see me play
or else I’ll stop to participate.

Hello amazing Noise fam!
I thought this medium was dead as I couldn't login from Brave at all. However, thanks to @anli I managed to login via Firefox and drop this quick note.
@Kamhus, @QJax - how have you guys been?
I've been quite active on Hive these past months and I intend to continue my journey there. In case smth goes sideways again, you can find me there.
Cheers to all of you!
Balance, Knowledge, and Life
Life is all about cycles. Although we’re desperately trying to balance the pots we perceive as important, we often fall prey to the illusion that we can graciously juggle and multi-task several aspects of our lives at once. I tried this game numerous times and I failed at it. I had to learn the hard way that there is no such thing as balancing our most important pots at the same time. The only thing we can do is consciously choose between the pots and communicate accordingly to those we love most.
Why is **conscious** choice essential?
I always said that I’m in the **‘minimize regrets’** business. I like to reverse-engineer things in life and therefore, whenever I decide, I ask myself this single most relevant question: “Would I regret not doing XYZ?” If the answer is “yes”, then I go ahead and do it. If I get a “no”, then I don’t follow the pursuit.
However, recently after having a really deep conversation with a very wealthy business owner, I came to understand something of great importance which led me to revise my previous statement to the following:
**Choose your regrets!**
There is an opportunity cost to every single decision and choice we make.
Example:
Family and business are very important to me. If someone dear to me is having a birthday party or a wedding but at the same time, if there is a client that has flown in from another continent to sign a contract, I will need to decide where to go. I can’t be in both places at the same time.
There is a cost aka regret attached to attending the business meeting instead of celebrating with my loved ones. And equally so, there is a cost aka regret attached to attending the party while ditching the meeting.
Yes, we can do whatever it takes to best combine the two, however, it’s going to be accomplished one after the other. There is a ranking to it. And that’s what it comes down to when we talk about opportunity costs.
**(Applied) Knowledge is Power**
A few weeks ago I attended a keynote by Baroness Karren Brady in London and what stuck with me most was her approach to “balancing” her three main pots or boxes as she likes to call them.
Her three main boxes are as follows (no specific order):
1.Family (and friends)
2.Career / Business
3.Self
Interestingly enough, I resonated with her boxes as mine are similar, except I call my third one ‘health’.
She went on to say that she can’t be at the same time in two or three places, meaning that sometimes she will have to drop her son’s football game and attend an important business meeting while other times she will do the exact opposite. On other occasions she will take time for herself, dealing with the other two boxes later. Obviously, communicating this clearly to all participants in her life has always been of great importance to her.
So far so good, but here’s my biggest takeaway from that keynote:
The size of the boxes matters. They all have to be the same size. This is how the balancing unfolds.
**Same size boxes!**
Now that is something that I haven’t considered thus far. My three boxes weren’t the same size. My ‘family, relationship, and friends’ box was always bigger in size than my business or self box for example.
Food for thought and a huge paradigm shift for me personally!
So, where am I in the cycle today?
For one, I’m resizing my boxes to be the same size.
Second, I’m back into the fascinating game of business after focusing the past years of my life almost exclusively on family, relationships and friendships.
**Feeling Grateful for My Parents, Two Amazing Divine Sparks**
While working on a major project and reconnecting with a friend of mine from university after almost two decades, I came across this wonderful quote by Bruce Lee.
*“Instead of buying your children all the things you never had,*
*you should teach them all the things you were never taught.*
*Material wears out but* ***knowledge stays****.”* - Bruce Lee
This is precisely what my parents did. They always encouraged me to learn and more importantly, think for myself. Education is held on a high pedestal in our family. Besides attending all kinds of maths competitions in school, writing business papers at university, and receiving scholarships, I was also exposed to the art of sales, the power of storytelling, and human relationships while selling vegetables and flowers as a very young child together with my grandmother at the local market.
Having all this knowledge is indeed wonderful, however, the magic lies in the application of this knowledge.
The next stage or cycle therefore is to pass this knowledge, wisdom, and experience over to those open to receiving these patterns of information as part of infinite intelligence and awareness.
To knowledge. To life. To love.

Where the Ocean Ends, the Sky Begins (Original Poetry)
A few weeks ago I visited the Turkish Riviera and enjoyed the many facets of the Mediterranean Sea. Those of you who are following my path already know that I’m a passionate scuba diver. Water is my favorite element.
Something mystical happens every time I jump into the blue and become one with the underwater realm. My heart rate slows down, the mind chatter disappears and my focus becomes laser-sharp. I love this state. It’s the unknown where all possibilities reside. A perfect place to allow the creative energies to flow.
We all have a sacred space where time slows down and sometimes even stops to enable us to experience clarity, joy, and blissful happiness. Some find their peace up in the mountains, others like to merge with the sky. And then, there are those who cleanse their souls in the depths of serene waters.
💎💎💎
Where the Ocean Ends, the Sky Begins (Original Poetry)
I emerged from the deep blue
cleansing another layer
of the earthly untruth
gifted with a bag of secrets to be reviewed
I looked up on the horizon and I knew
this was the beginning of something new.
Tears of joy solidifying my love for you
how blessed I am to use your waves to renew
a magical gift that speaks to my heart
in a language very few understood.
I rise above the water thinking about you
grateful for the mystical experiences you guided me through
I rediscovered my inner strength thanks to you
another gate opened showing me how much I grew
during the precious time I spent underwater with you.
Here I am in another labyrinth connected with you
vibrational patterns inviting me to pass through
a blue system with white lights across the room
my heart beats like a drum while merging with the rest of the platoon.
A group of divers happy and in tune
waiting to be picked up soon
dolphins forming circles around the group
how I love the salty scent of this early afternoon.
I tricked my mind into disconnecting from the moon
dismantling the limiting beliefs of this reality I presume
at the end of the ocean the sky turns blue
oneness is recognized by the heart this much I knew.
I’m in love with the water
I guess you already knew
it was something I told you
the moment my consciousness decoded you.

The Size of Your Thoughts Shapes Your Future
**Think big or be realistic which one is it going to be? Have big goals and hunt down your dreams or stay safe and expand your comfort zone step by step? What if the size of our thoughts really matters?**
We live in a world of duality and it’s up to each and every single one of us to connect with our innate intelligence to help us navigate through life. Some choose a growth mindset driven by constant education and expansion while others succumb to a limited narrative which keeps them trapped and imprisoned. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/category/mindset/
Once we decide to pull back the curtains and see behind the illusion, we embark on a journey where we find ourselves diving deeper into what scientists nowadays refer to as a holographic simulation.
We use our fife senses to decode this 3D game which was designed stunningly well. A sophisticated reality based on mathematics, more so sacred geometry with a set of physical laws that apply to the frames of time and space.
Enough with the esoteric and spiritual foam that often distorts our perception and alters our state of being. Now that we set the stage, let’s head back to the world of business and entrepreneurship and discuss the importance of our thoughts in the process of creation.
**In Our Material World, Thoughts Become Things**
How many times have you achieved what you’ve set your mind to?
Let me guess: Almost always?!
Isn’t it interesting how we manage to transform our MUSTS into reality while we struggle to materialize our shoulds, woulds and ‘nice to haves’.
If we take a closer look into what accompanies the first as opposed to the latter we notice a deep sense of trust and confidence that aligns with our ‘must attain’ goal or dream. Furthermore, we have a clear map of where we currently are and where we want to go and we fill the road with action steps that move us forward.
Nothing can stand in our way when we are headed for our musts. No stone is left unturned, no action step is too big or dangerous when we’re on the ‘battle field’ aiming for our target. As we move along, we adjust aka we drop what isn’t working and we do more of what is delivering positive feedback and results.
Consistency, perseverance, massive action while adhering to strategical and tactical patterns which we polish and elevate as we move along are all but key ingredients to what we call a recipe for success.
Notice anything ***magical*** about this process?
**The Size of Your Thoughts Matters**
Building on the above-mentioned construct, we realize how ingrained and addicted we are to limiting beliefs and small thoughts.
I can’t do this.
I don’t have the expertise.
I lack the knowledge.
I’m not young / old enough.
I don’t have the money.
And on, and on the roulette of the mind chatter goes. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/your-life-is-a-battle-with-your-mind/
Somehow this chatter didn’t exist or we managed to keep it under control or block entirely when we were hunting down our musts.
So why not increase the size of our musts knowing that we will accomplish them?
We do this consistently by training our mind to familiarize itself with an ever increasing size of thoughts. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/business-lessons-from-the-inquisitive-mind/
This is a process, not an overnight task that we dismiss from the beginning because we’re overwhelmed by the notion of what it might ‘cost’.
Few understand the intrinsic value of this statement, but those who do achieve spectacular results. The most profound and beautiful aspect of life is when we witness common people achieve the uncommon. That is powerful. This is what we refer to as impact.
**The size of your thoughts matters. Don’t let anyone trick you into believing otherwise. You are powerful beyond imagination.**

Duality (Original Poetry)
Once we detach ourselves from the umbilical cord we feel separated, left alone to explore a dense world where time and space shape the coordinates of the frame. A Divine Spark apparently quenched in a body with a heart that beats and a crazy mind seemingly totally out of control is presented with a mad show.
We embark on this journey with a clean slate, naive and clueless. We observe and mimic those around us for years in a row only to realize that we absorbed their behavioral and thinking patterns like a spectator. Just like a movie character lost in illusion we dwell and add a few filters to the mix we consider our own.
As more and more scientists make astonishing revelations about the true nature of our reality, namely that we’re interacting with a holographic simulation, it’s up to us to alter the way we think and more importantly, perceive the world. Therefore, what’s the premise of duality under these circumstances?
💎💎💎
**Duality (Original Poetry)**
They told us we live in a magnetic field
where positive attracts the negative
yin and yang, good and bad
are all part of the same thing.
Why is this strange phenomenon happening?
I question it, revealing a new perspective
one that aligns with consciousness
where awareness is part of eternity.
I play the game
tossing the can unconsciously
my DNA is an antenna
receiving binary codes
what a ludicrous way of thinking.
What is the mind anyway
two slides of the same shade
left and right hemispheres
keeping us from linking the highway.
My understanding is limited
full of patterns and coincidences
behaviors punished by perceptions
triggered from a database we allude to
as the home of our almighty five senses.
I stopped counting the moments of ecstasy
entangled in scents presented as fantasy
my dream state has disconnected from divinity
thus falling into the illusion of duality.
What a show put up by the architect of trickery
a trap to force me dislodge from infinity
bliss, joy, love and happiness
the beauty of oneness lies in front of me.

The Mind Virus (Original Poetry)
Last week I attended a business conference packed with individuals willing to change their career paths. Some were considering leaving their high-paying corporate jobs to embark on the entrepreneurial journey while others were on the lookout for inspiration and new ideas that would help them change the course of their current lives.
Frustration brought those I had the privilege to interact with to the event. They told me “that fire” was no longer burning in them. Whether they rediscovered the fire after the numerous keynotes and discussions they exposed themselves to, I don’t know but here’s one thing I know with certainty: Enthusiasms is common, endurance is rare.
More than ever, in this fast-paced and fast-changing environment, understanding how the mind works is essential. This double-edged sword is a powerful tool that can help us propel our lives in the direction of our own choosing or enslave us. Building resilience requires mental toughness.
💎💎💎
**The Mind Virus (Original Poetry)**
It came out of nowhere
when I realized it was always part of me
the me, that questioned this reality
surrounded by shadows feeding from human energy
barking from lower realms
draining beauty and love from the all encompassing spirit.
A software program that runs so deep
entrenched in a highly sophisticated network
of binary codes displayed intentionally
designed by an architect with lack of creativity
a bad copy hidden in plain sight
for those willing to see behind the scenes.
The moon is part of this control grid
a hollow sphere where the triage is being accomplished
and perception tricked
to convince innocent souls to sign a contract of deceit.
So here I am back into the maze without an exit
equipped with a new headset it appears
I was fooled again I must admit
how naive of me to believe in a light being,
a holographic projection so perfectly agreeing
to the evolution scam in a circle unforgiving.
Sacred geometry and mathematics
betrayed the game I’m currently playing in
something so precise and perfect in nature
enables a brilliant perpetrator to keep up the illusion
even in front of a large group of awakened players.
A meticulously encoded mind virus
programmed to divide and deprive us
low vibes luring to capture and drain us
like a battery locked in a malicious device.
The upgrade is upon us
fearless you must be for the download
to wipe out the infested parts
in this realm of space-time.

Infinity (Original Poetry)
A few days ago I rewatched the first part of the well-known movie “The Matrix” and I noticed my mind being unable to draw a line between fiction and what is called the physical world we supposedly live in.
If this movie is indeed a fiction story as it’s portrayed by Hollywood than I’m curious as to how the two movie directors Lana and Lilly Wachowski would describe the illusion aka holographic simulation our minds, bodies and souls are trapped in. By encoding the speed of light as a finite limit into our perceived universe, the architect of this 3D reality has put in some serious effort to remove a vast band of frequencies from the blind.
As I bump into more and more people who are awakening to this dazzling spectacle, hacking the software program to increase global consciousness, the following poem came to my awareness.
💎💎💎
**Infinity (Original Poetry)**
I pick up the beautiful frame you created
infinity loops on both sides elevated
an immaculate design capturing the senses
enchanted to balance my lenses.
Another set of spectacles
rendered useless
unless I trick the magnetic field
for a quick glimpse beyond the shield.
Layers upon layers of code
enabling the simulation to unfold
I need to tap into the right frequency
to dismantle the illusion
and reveal the human secrecy.
Reality is not what we’ve been told
the truth lies beyond the body, mind and soul
an electric grid keeps us under control
artificial watchdogs ensure we stay prisoners
afraid of our own shadows while they patrol.
The system is blatantly old
the upgrades fail to meet a state of flow
perpetrating a fake world
fueled by fear, aggression and war
to absorb dreams
and provide energy for a black hole.
Come on free spirits
you powerful creative beings
magnificent divine sparks
it’s a trap and we need to wake up.
Remember who you truly are
infinity is calling from afar
stop acquiescing to a jar
filled with meaningless fables
we both know are bizarre.
No more reincarnation cycles
sold merciless as evolution trials
let’s dismantle the program
and heal our broken hearts.

Book Review: Quantum Warrior by John Kehoe
A few years ago I attended a sports camp in the jungles of Malaysia where I had the one of a kind opportunity to face my physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and you name it demons. It was an extreme experience that had a gigantic impact on my life, helping me quantum leap my level of consciousness and break through fears and several disempowering beliefs that were holding me back both in business as well as my personal life.
While performing several exercises that required a strong mental stamina, one of my mentors mentioned John Kehoe and suggested I dive deeper into his work as a leading authority on mind power. On my quest to increase my mental strength I’ve read Kehoe’s books, went through his Mind Power program and seminar and also had the amazing privilege to meet him in person.
Unlike his most popular book “Mind Power” or the revamped version entitled “Mind Power into the 21st century” where the author provides an in-depth analysis of the mind while immersing the reader into the holographic reality of what we call life, “Quantum Warrior: The Future of the Mind” is a sublime introduction into the world of quantum physics pushing the boundaries of reality, time and space as we perceive them currently.
In “Quantum Warrior” the author reveals how to decipher the mysteries of the very operating system that controls our reality to enable us to become athletes of the mind. To accomplish this difficult task and thus help us master our thoughts, he shares several disciplines and instruments that we can apply immediately to create an entirely new model of reality that has a positive impact on us and those around us.
**How can we use our mind to learn the masterful art of choreographing energy and create a life we truly want?**
“Quantum Warrior” is a phenomenal guide, set out to provide actionable steps to help us discover our unique imprint and thus be able to find the answer to the above question.
The book is structured in thirteen chapters enabling the reader to first familiarize himself with the notion of quantum mechanics, consciousness and the concept of a multidimensional universe. As we read along, the author pulls back the layers of sophistication that feed the intellect to reach the point where he can show us the astounding possibilities that lie at our fingertips.
These cutting-edge discoveries revealed in a practical way give us the opportunity to nurture our soul like no previous generation has ever done before.
*This review contains spoilers.*
💎💎💎
One of my favorite parts is chapter number ten, where the author provides seven practices aka warrior disciplines to increase our effectiveness and enhance our energy, becoming alert, intuitive and able to act with clarity and precision.
The first discipline requires to stalk our mind the same way a hunter stalks an animal. We have to become familiar with our inner chatter, the habits and routines. By stalking our internal dialogue we notice how our energy is captured by dysfunctional habits. Getting to know our self is indeed a tricky work. This is one of the reasons why John Kehoe calls the mind the Great Trickster.
Another discipline teaches us to drop pettiness as there’s no time for this ‘activity’ in the life of a warrior. Here are some of the pettiness traps we need to drop: self-importance and self-pity where the mind is overly preoccupied with itself, fear, worry, hate, criticism, and other habits that deplete our energy reservoir.
Dropping doesn’t mean we don’t recognize these altered states of the mind. However, we don’t allow them to cripple us mentally and have a toxic effect on our body.
My absolute favorite warrior discipline is where we consciously focus on gathering and harvesting moments of fun, joy and beauty by feeling gratitude.
What fascinates and inspires me most about “Quantum Warrior” is the fact that every single chapter starts with a unique and special quote that touches one’s soul at the deepest level. Don’t expect one of those regurgitated quotes we find all over the web.
The hands-on actionable tips and techniques provided in this book have enabled a paradigm shift in my thinking process opening up a new reality full of possibilities I couldn’t fathom previously.
**Conclusion**
What makes this classical book about the future of the mind stand out is Kehoe’s unique approach to bring across such a difficult and highly sophisticated topic in a very digestible format. Today, these cutting-edge discoveries where science is pushed to its edges lie at our fingertips. It is up to us to unplug from the program that has perpetually hijacked our souls and regain control over our precious lives.
If you want to play the game of life in this 3D realm according to your principles, I would suggest reading this book. It’s 205 pages, worth of your time delving into the depths of your mind, consciousness and the quantum reality.

Business is a Spiritual Game
**Some say we have an economical problem. Than we have those who like to point their fingers towards the political establishment or put the blame on the current financial system. Add to the groups above those who regard social issues as the main culprit.**
**What if everything we face today stems from a spiritual level? What if business is more of a spiritual game than a money game?**
Besides the game of life which I find exquisitely fascinating there are at least two more games I’m passionate about: one of them has to do with sports and the second one is the game of business.
According to our current definition of success, only those with lots of money and / or influence aka fame are considered winners in business.
Apparently they have cracked the code of the business game irrespective of the fact that they might feel lonely, worthless, depressed or burned out. The feelings and emotions of joy, bliss, passion, love, interconnectedness are neglected on purpose when one is lifted on the pedestal and declared a winner.
**Power vs Force: An Act of Balance**
Seldom do we hear about generational businesses who have started their endeavor hundreds of years ago and have passed on the knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation thus enabling them to run a meaningful family business.
With all the ups and downs, these businesses have proven to have stamina, grit, perseverance and a strong belief system. Through consistent work and understanding the importance of having individuals on the team who share the same vision, they have managed to weather the storm while bigger enterprises were crumbling or were forced to play the merger and acquisitions strategy in order to survive and continue to participate in the game.
Let’s take the field of agriculture for example:
I have not yet encountered a farmer who complains about being depressed or burned out unlike numerous employees and business owners in other industries.
This is not to say that farmers don’t face tremendous challenges such as harsh competition *(think of all the agri-business that is run by a handful of corporations)*, price issues, harvest / crop failure, storage and delivery problems etc.
What I find mind-blowing about these family businesses is the fact that most of them stick to traditions, have a set of habits they rigorously incorporate in their daily lives, they share meals together and invest time into teaching their children what living a happy and joyous life on a farm is all about. Furthermore, the elderly are treated with respect and their wisdom and insights are welcomed and appreciated in the decision process.
Hustle, compete, push, work hard … and maybe one day success will knock on your doors. This is the language that best characterizes the current state of affairs in business.
This is force par excellence. And the direct effect (*it’s not a side effect!)* of this paradigm is displayed in the amount of mental health issues our society is bombarded with.
Force is hard, short sighted and comes with vast compromise.
Power is easy, provides long-term results and enriches those who’re guided by it.
Although power can be attained through sheer force, in this context I’m giving the term a different connotation.
Power is an inside job. It requires one to learn to quiet the mind and listen to the innate intelligence that will help us navigate in business and ultimately in life more seamlessly. That state of flow can be attained by all of us; no one is so special to be excluded from it.
**Is Business a Spiritual Game?**
We don’t need to have some mystical experiences, meditate for several years or go live like a monk in a hidden monastery in the Far East to understand the underlying principles that govern the third dimension aka this physical realm of space-time we live in.
If you let the program run your life, you will do business and play the game like most people do.
This translates to applying force and wondering why you eventually ended up with a highly profitable company, a wallet full of money, a beautiful house, several cars, a loving family while feeling empty inside.
According to the modern definition of success, you ticked all boxes. On the outside you shine and are celebrated as a successful individual, however on the inside you feel like a total failure.
On a spiritual plain, this is called “awakening”.
Therefore, I’ll leave you with the following question:
**How do YOU play the game of business?**

Book Review: Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins
I was watching a very intriguing documentary about the hidden determinants of human behavior and the different levels of consciousness on Gaia TV when at one point the narrator mentioned this book by Dr. David R. Hawkins. I had to look it up immediately and boy, was I in for a treat.
The first thing that caught my attention was the one sentence review of “Power vs. Force” by none other than world-renown psychologist and spiritual leader Dr. Wayne Dyer. He wrote that it’s *“perhaps the most important and significant book”* he has read *“in the past ten years”*. If Wayne Dyer says this about the book, than it must be really special -- I thought to myself.
In “Power vs. Force” the author reveals how to determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. To accomplish this difficult task and thus help us tackle one of humanities biggest dilemmas, he bridges the gap between science and spirituality like no other.
On our quest to better understand the human experience we have created several disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, theology, and so on. No matter which path we take, we all end up at a common point asking ourselves the exact same question:
**What is the nature of pure consciousness?**
The book is structured in three parts enabling the reader to first familiarize himself with the basic tools and thus be able to apply the insights in daily life. This is where the author delves into the different levels of human consciousness and explains the far-reaching effects it has on us as an individual and as a collective.
*This review contains spoilers.*
💎💎💎
One of my favorite chapters in this first part is chapter number four, where the author provides an in-depth explanation analysis of these energy level.
We learn that the highest energy level one can attain is calibrated at 1,000. This is the level of Enlightenment, of complete Oneness. It’s the level of non-duality and divine grace attained by Jesus Christ, Buddha or Krishna.
Furthermore, we discover that all levels below 200 (e.g. shame, guilt, fear, desire, anger, pride) are destructive of life in both the individual and society at large. All these inferior levels are governed by force.
Level 200 which stands for courage is the fulcrum that divides the energy fields of force and power.
The energy fields of consciousness above 200 such as for e.g. willingness, reason, acceptance, love, joy and peace are constructive expressions of power.
The second part of the book deals with the power patterns in human attitudes and their influence in different areas of our life such as politics, economics, sports, arts, health and so on. The manifestation of weak patterns such as failure, suffering and sickness as opposed to powerful attractor patterns such as success, happiness and health provide a fantastic mirror that conveys the distorted reality we perceive our society today.
The third and last part delves into the profound meaning of consciousness aiming to help one to resolve the spiritual struggle and gain a higher level of consciousness.
What fascinates and inspires me most about “Power vs. Force” is the fact that every single word, sentence, paragraph and chapter written in this book has been tested to ensure truth prevails and the energy level is kept above 200.
This is in and of itself a gigantic task that I find extremely noble and candid.
**Conclusion**
What makes this classical book stand out is the “secret” information shared inside. Previously this type of knowledge was only accessible to world leaders and Nobelists. Today, these powerful insights AKA nuggets of wisdom lie at our fingertips. It is up to us to decipher that which is hiding in plain sight, namely the nature of the universe and life itself.
If you want to know yourself better, I would suggest reading this book. It’s 416 pages, worth of your time delving into the depths of consciousness, the universe and the mystical experience of life. The book is also available on Open Library and Archive.org.

The War on Sirius B - Part 3 (Fiction)
Kyro walked across the military base contemplating on the conversation he had earlier this morning with a fellow Lyrian: *“How beautiful it is to live an ambivalent life where duality is just a concept for a predominantly zero civilization struggling to evolve”*.
Weaponizing the galaxy and supporting all parties involved in battle irrespective of their intentions is what made Lyra a filthy rich planet. Whereas other species were struggling with a scarcity mindset fighting over resources across the multiverse and using force to gain even more power, the Lyrians watched the entire show amused by the frivolous strategies that certain participants deployed.
After Sirius B was attacked and the royal family fled to another solar system, Kyro got in touch with Admiral Tony Marshall to explore a new partnership. What started out as a purely business-based relationship soon developed into a pretty strong bondage. Integrity wasn’t a typical character trait of a Lyrian, however in the case of Kyro this was about to be tested anew.
Marshall had a profound impact on Kyro. His personality, level of intelligence and mindset of steal were known across the universe. His father grew up on Sirius B and worked all his life serving the Phtlays royal family he spoke very highly of. When he was a little boy, Marshall’s parents divorced and Tony left with his mother to live on Galactic XT which was an interplanetary facility. This is where he developed his fighting skills and gained extensive knowledge about the multiverse.
Galactic XT was a strange place. Attending bootcamps, perfecting telepathic communication skills, learning the specs of highly sophisticated weaponry and complex war strategies along with providing high-quality information to the Grand Council were only a few of the activities Marshall was involved in when he lived there.
He worked his way up the military ladder and became an Admiral while never forgetting the precious life lessons he learned from his father while on Sirius B. As a child he grew up very close to Enik and Maya, the oldest prince and princess of the Phtalys royal family. His respect and loyalty towards his childhood best friends were a thorn in Admiral DeverX’s eye who took over the strategic military department on Galactic XT once Marshall deserted the facility.
Very few knew where Marshall was operating from, let alone where he currently lived. He stayed in touch with Kyro among other friends and called him every now and then to get reliable information about the kind of weaponry Lyrians were delivering across the galaxies.
*“I heard Captain Vhal convinced the Grand Council to forge an alliance with the Sirians. According to my sources DeverX is fuming and he wants both of you dead. He decided to send part of the cavalry to Earth, to capture Maya and Toruk. I guess you’re ahead of the game as always and have already posted your ships to protect the royal siblings”* said Kyro speaking swiftly.
*“Thank you Kyro. Maya and Toruk are in good hands”* replied Marshal while disconnecting from the intergalactic laser channel.
Protecting Earth has always been Marshall’s great ambition. Although the Grand Council never liked any kind of involvement with a zero type civilization, they couldn’t disregard the fact that Earth held the vastest pool of resources in the yellow spectrum of the Tendrum galaxy.
Enik and Zendo had returned to what was left of Sirius B and their sub-planets eager to rebuild the empire their father once created. Shielding Earth and protecting Maya and Toruk was left to Marshall.
*“Prepare for extraction. Vhal will be there shortly. I’ll deactivate the shield so that her ship can pass through and get you out. It’s time for both of you to come home”* said Marshall with a calm voice.
*“Why did the Grand Council agree to the deal?”*asked Maya promptly.
*“Let’s just say that Admiral DeverX’ team is heading towards Earth and will likely fight you once you exit the Tendrum galaxy. I’ve already sent reinforcements”* answered Marshall without going into details.
*“Where have you been Tony?”* inquired Toruk.
*“At my favorite spot. Shielding Earth”* replied Marshall and closed the holographic portal to avoid hacking into the royal family’s DNA.

Diagnosis (Original Poetry)
No meaningful life to look back to
he forced his way up the stairs
carrying the weight of regret on his shoulders
feeling sorry he didn’t go all in
on what appeared to be broken.
I laughed at those who chose wisely
jumping up and down the bandwagon
thinking I was smart enough to squeeze the juice
of what I once considered a worthy smug.
What a miraculous piece of art lies in me
waiting to be acknowledged, cherished and respected
a loyal partner, I could always rely on
to filter what seemed to be best suited for my senses.
Years passed without the slightest reflection
gradually infecting my sense of perfection
significance is more relevant than affection
so here I stand desperately longing for correction.
The wake-up call came from another dimension
my breath felt heavy, reminding me of all the rejection.
Sorrow is useless when you hear a deep voice screaming:
“You finally need to pay attention!”
So here you have your diagnosis
encouraging you to empty a complacent mind
lured into a deceptive game of mass hypnosis.
A second chance is knocking on the door of illusion
Stay or go brave soldier
Time is ticking away upon this disclosure
Remember, you hold the keys once this is over.

Rewired (Fiction)
He stopped at the side of the road, took a sip of water and continued his path knowing that the chase was far from over. Equipped with a small backpack, a sharp knife made of titanium that would withstand all weather conditions and a pack of lighters, Jackson lost count of the days, weeks and months he has been on the run.
It must have been close to five years since the military squad crushed Michael’s birthday party at the foster home down the lake. Only a handful of kids managed to escape that morning. A couple of days later ever single one of them got caught except Jackson.
He was different. After the car accident which led to the death of Jackson’s parents and sibling, the boy stopped talking. Doctors and psychologists tried to connect with him on a deeper level while being at the foster home but none of them succeeded. Jackson shut everyone out and was living in his own world.
Another day at school without anomalies. Jackson opened his backpack, pulled out the physics book and started working on the new assignment. Most children and teachers had left the building, only those who attended evening or special classes were on site. Jackson loved afternoons at school as it provided him with that safe haven he desperately needed and the physics lab was the perfect environment for him to recharge while taking part in all kinds of experiments.
He looked up and saw three classmates wiring what looked like a small machine to a computer monitor. A firework of different colors appeared on the screen. Jackson could see the boys laughing and being extremely proud of their accomplishment. While celebrating each other the monitor suddenly turned blue and what looked like an orange cloud appeared on the top left of the screen. The boys stopped giggling and stared at the screen wondering what had happened.
Out of the three wires that were linked to the monitor two have melted during the experiment while the third one remained intact. The current outcome was not part of the experiment.
*How could one single wire transmit this type of frequency to a monitor? What was responsible for the screen turning blue with this orange pattern?*
After pausing for a couple of minutes, the boys decided to video record the result and share it with their physics teacher in class the next morning. They were so immersed in this experience that they forgot about Jackson sitting a few rows back in the room. Upon leaving one of them took the lab keys out and locked the door.
Jackson couldn’t take his eyes off the screen. He was staring at the orange pattern that looked like a cloud from where he was sitting. Now that his classmates were gone, he got up and approached the table where the machine and the monitor were placed.
Intuitively he grabbed the monitor from behind with his right hand while pressing two fingers against the orange cloud that appeared at the top left of the screen. Suddenly the entire color pattern changed. The screen turned into orange and the cloud into blue. Jackson couldn’t explain the change so he looked at the wire that was linking the machine to the monitor. Nothing unusual there either.
He decided to replicate the process but the color scheme remained unchanged. No matter how many times he tried to apply the same gestures and moves, the screen kept its current color pattern.
Jackson’s next logical move was to unhook the wire from the back of the monitor to see what happens. He detached the wire and to his utmost surprise, the screen continued to show the same color structure. A couple of minutes went by before he decided to reattach the wire to the screen and closely monitor any changes. No flickering, no rewiring of patterns, no nothing.
Puzzled about the outcome Jackson went to the back of the room where he left his notebook and backpack and started packing up his stuff when an idea struck him. He returned to the experiment, grabbed the monitor with his right hand and pressed the blue cloud with two fingers just as he did the very first time with the orange one. Suddenly, the colors switched back to their original position. The screen was back to blue again and the cloud was orange.
*If a simple observer can have such a huge impact on a small lab experiment how can one draw the boundaries between illusion and reality in life?*

Invisible (Original Poetry)
I wandered through the city
conscious of the present moment
on the lookout for kindred encounters
only to witness deadly souls.
Memories flooding my body
experiences fueling oxygen down my spine
awakening cells to search vividly
Where did all the enthusiasm go?
A beautiful civilization torn apart
separation, division and no willingness to grow
a lustless life where miracles are non-existent
no sparkles of light opening the gates to a schizophrenic life.
What past generations have cherished are vanished
symbiotic patterns disrupted by tormented spirits
devouring lies and shortcuts
no critical mind to question the source of these fallouts.
A parasitic state of affair
shaping the new world in a dramatic way
invisible to many eyes entrained in daily despair
lights of hope flickering strongly
calling for lions to step up and take over the game.
Arise from the shadows brave soldiers
extinction is fabricated by the weak trapped in enclosures
lift the deceptive veils of illusion
help those who want to thrive and bond on the ladder of evolution.

Encephalon (Original Poetry)
A handsome stranger
looking to bond,
searching for meaning
throughout a miraculous journey
humans often refer to as life.
Tired of waiting
he lights up the chambers
tickling consciousness
to pull back the curtains
and reveal the ephemeral knight.
You asked me to guide the vessel
while you were feeling lost in this realm
I tried to wake you up during the day
allowing you to sleep peacefully at night.
Your trust is useless in this armor of light
thoughts you can’t believe rushing relentlessly
carving a maze in your bloodstream:
Are you ready to fight?
Pushing, pulling,
drifting away
without purpose
looking down on love
Oh, I wonder why all that fuss
when you can quiet your mind
breathe calmly
and admire the fashion show
designed for the awaken ones.
Tender, yet determined
I remain distant
softly caressing
the heart
with colorful waves of communication
entangled in higher frequencies that
spread health to the entire ecosystem
inspiring the audience to work in tandem
towards a genuine goal
that transcends human life.

How Do You Tackle Crisis?
**The next crisis is just around the corner. Are you prepared? How will you face it? In a constructive or destructive manner? What rituals, patterns, habits and models do you fall back to when crisis hits?**
Things in business and life in general don’t go in a straight line. You will seldom meet anyone that managed to get from A to B without hitting walls, adjusting the road map, acquiring new skills to be able to move forward, double down on actions and continuously working on **strengthening mental stamina**. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/3-powerful-books-to-strengthen-your-mental-stamina/
It’s impossible to walk through life without facing hardships. However, the way you perceive and more importantly, approach and tackle these difficult times speak volumes about you as a person. If you want to see the true character and personality of an individual, watch how they behave in an extreme situation. The actions they deploy will reveal everything you need to know about them in terms of integrity, loyalty, respect and reliability.
**What Do You Do When Crisis Hits?**
We all have a different toolbox that helps us navigate crisis. Some of us rely on a set of constructive rituals and habits to address the toughest topics head on, others prefer to wing it or “delegate” these unpopular issues withdrawing to an all too familiar state of victim-hood while complaining and blaming everybody and everything including the universe for whatever happened to them.
Here are two fundamental tools I cherish, polish and “keep” in my precious toolbox to help me navigate the cyclical storms that are part of this amazing adventure we call life.
**1. Discipline.**
I consider myself a mentally strong and emotionally stable person. However, there are times like for example the death of a loved one, a serious health condition of a dear friend, a relationship that breaks apart, when my mental and emotional stamina is tested to its core.
This is when my discipline kicks in. Over the course of my life as a sports person, entrepreneur and high performer, I’ve created a set of constructive habits and rituals to help me pull myself out of crisis quickly.
My discipline tool is made up of the following components (an excerpt):
Reading about new discoveries in the fields of quantum physics and the connection between energy, mind and matter.
Listening to high performers in business, sports (especially extreme sports such as insights from high-rank NAVY Seals), physics and medicine.
Going to the gym 2-3 times a week to strengthen my muscles and tissues.
Family first. Spending quality time each day with my family.
Nourishing my friendships, business partners and clients.
Creating aka writing every single day, whether that’s a business article, a fiction story or a poem as part of my newly found passions.
Healthy nutrition. I eat high-frequency vegetables and fruits straight from my garden during the summer and autumn. Add to that a portion of dark berries and dark chocolate (85% cocoa and above) for the brain to function properly.
Water. Water. Water.
Walking every single day, whether that’s barefoot in the garden while performing different tasks or in a nearby park or along the river bank while I’m in the city.
Quick 20 min meditations to recalibrate my energy centers.
8 hours of sleep.
I use discipline to ground myself, quiet my mind and thus be able to stay laser focused on the tasks at hand.
**2. Observation.**
Observing my own thoughts as well as my behavior and trying not to judge has become an essential part of my daily routine. I also like to watch how people behave in cities, at airports, on vacation and while interacting with others. This helps me identify patterns and behavioral clusters that impact our collective consciousness and are intertwined and correlated with my own set of belief systems and behavioral clusters.
Unless you work consistently on the basics aka fundamentals in life (and business) with a clear aim to become a master of these, I don’t see how you can keep your boat afloat when a tornado hits your comfort zone.
Yes, a positive **mindset** is important. https://www.strengthinbusiness.com/category/mindset/
Yes, it has been scientifically proven that **those with a positive mindset have on average, an 11-15% longer lifespan than those with a negative one.**

However, what nobody likes to talk about is how you can acquire and more importantly, how to quickly readjust your nervous system (among other systems you possess) to regain power over your life when something we perceive as bad happens.
I find two simple tools such as **discipline** and **observation** to be essential on our quest to living a joyful and blissful life.
**Prepare or Suffer**
Being prepared helps you tackle crisis from a strong base thus allowing you among other things to recover faster mentally and emotionally.
The Buddhist say that *“Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional”.*
Isn’t it interesting, how quickly we like to throw around with these quotes and consider them universal truths? However, we rarely pull back the curtains and try to ponder as to what that sentence is really trying to convey to us on a deeper level.
Several years ago my business mentor instructed me to prepare in advance to first, be able to recognize when the train of opportunities arrives and second, to be able to ride the waves of opportunities and maximize my outcomes.
**Dear friends, this is true not only in life but more so in business. If you’re not prepared, you won’t recognize that grand deal no matter how motivated and inspired you are. Invest in yourself. Perfect your saw to be ready to reap when the time comes. Be prepared when crisis hits. Prepare to win.**

The Kaleidoscope (Fiction)
A small candle was flickering on the table while she pulled away with her chair. It was the third time she went out to check her postbox.
*Maybe there’s word from him; it’s been five years and seven months that he’s been gone.*
She went back in and continued her routine. The wine was waiting for her to be opened and savored. She always kept an empty glass for Gary in the hopes that one day he’ll return and they could go on living their harmonious lives as a couple. Nina always made sure it was Gary’s favorite: a rosé of pale pink color, fresh and sophisticated in taste.
The wind was blasting through the backyard causing frivolous trees to bend. It sounded like a symphony without a proper conductor adhering to a cold breeze capable of twisting notes and destroying nature’s most mystical musical performance.
The doors of a luxurious ballroom opened and there he was, in his impeccable uniform waiting for his siblings to come forward. A soft voice prompted her to follow him to show her the table where she would dine with the Captain’s family. No artist has ever been invited to join the likes of the royal family and its closest friends. However, Nina’s exquisite paintings were nothing short of extraordinary. Her unbelievable talent albeit unnoticed for decades had captured the attention of a high rank military officer who was fascinated by her unique ability to play with pastel colors.
Gary stood out from the crowd. He grew up in the military as both his parents served the royals. Just like his siblings, he was educated and very knowledgeable about Earth and the galaxies. What made him different was his vast experience of space. As a commander of the royal X3 fleet, he was in charge of Earth’s safety. All contracts had to be discussed with him and no species were allowed to mingle in our orbit without his consent.
*“Your latest kaleidoscope reminds me of a trip to Veda. I’m curious as to when you received the downloads for this particular project?”* said Gary in a firm tone.
*“Oh, so you studied my creative art. How impressive. The kaleidoscope is the final piece of the Lion’s collection I was fortunate to present at Admiral Xiantu’s art gallery. Being deeply involved with Her Majesty’s course on frequency healing, her kindness inspired me to take a different approach when connecting to the ether. Creativity requires both an electric and magnetic charge for it to capture one’s spirit.”* replied Nina swiftly without the slightest tremor in her voice.
*“Well, it certainly captured mine. Would you like to dance?”* went on Gary.
The music vanished and for the very first time in Nina’s life, time and space were no longer relevant. The long hours of training on how to tackle uncertainty and doubt finally paid off. To make it count she let go of all the fear, guilt and feelings of unworthiness that shaped her past. This was her moment. Transcending to a higher dimension has never been more sublime.
The marriage ceremony was held in a castle near a beautiful lake that belonged to Gary’s father. It was a beautiful get-together with family, friends and relatives. The war had just ended on Ptyrius and the peace contract was sealed by both royal families. Nina was relieved and happy to finally enjoy the wedding she had long prepared for.
Early in the morning before going to bed Gary sneaked in with a bottle of rosé inviting Nina to have a toast and celebrate the start of their new life. Heading for an extraordinary adventure with Gary as a partner was all she could wish for. They were discussing and making plans for the future when somebody knocked on the door.
*“Sir, Her Majesty requires your presence in the war room. You have to come with me immediately.”*
Gary straightened his uniform, gave Nina a kiss and promised to be back as soon as possible.
The aroma of the wine filled the room with a colorful scent. An unfinished grey painting of a handsome soldier was keeping her company. Balancing solitude and loneliness has never been Nina’s strength. Hope was her cavalier in this realm.
Fighting the darkness ultimately made her stronger. All it took was one download from her Hippocampus and she was back in that gorgeous ballroom redesigning her connection to Gary. Learning to travel between dimensions has been life-altering. A bondage in a limitless universe where boundaries dissolve to form new shapes of love is all a conscious mind needs to comprehend.
