I enjoyed this motivational video. To me although it uses different language, it speaks of expressing from your soul...

So beautiful <3... After a challenging day of working with dropping into what felt like very dense environments... This is like a soothing balm for the soul. Thank you!

Thanks for this one!

Hi Yulia,

You said...

"I do this all the time - see the truth and the distortions."

Yes, but unless we actually put our attention on the truth, focus and harness it, the tendency is to dissipate our energy and run around in a depleting fizz.

Hey Kim

I do this all the time - see the truth and the distortions. In my perception and observation, there are distortions everywhere, in everything and absolutely everyone.
This is just how things are. Existence is build not upon the light, but the distortions of it, places where there are shadows, where it gets broken, reflected, etc. Experiences are all about that. And this is why there is no truth and no purity, just relative degree of harmony, and possible evolution of it in time.

There is no completeness in things, people, sensations, but still, one can feel complete within his incompleteness.

This is why I don't see a problem with people being distorted and being still inspired and learn from them. I see distortions in most evolved people I've met too. I also have a very high sensitivity to that, and to denial too :-) But I don't feel the need to fix all this anymore. I used to. Focus on the wrong stuff, rejecting, judging. What does that serve exactly? I just realize more and more that it doesn't. And what kind of purity can one look for in this place?

It is all a matter of perspective, I find.

I can look at Trin's comment, for example, and feel the distortions of it, or I can see the light, funny and bright side of it, or both. And add to it my own reflections of light and my distorted perceptions. Then reflections and realizations come... And it was just a small comment. In this way every little experience has the potential of this kind of unraveling.

And in all cases I will learn something about myself.

There is really no need for perfection and absolute purity in order to experience, communicate and grow. Quite on the opposite.

So all this is a gift, in whatever way we take it :-)

And just when the judgement of distortions we see goes, suddenly there is no "good and bad" anymore, just our own experience of it all.

Thanks for sharing the video Yulia and thank you to Openhand. It is only because of working with them that I am able to watch the video and recognize the truths he shared as well as the distortion a in his message.

Beautifully inspiring. Thanks, Yulia. I live on a busy street with constant noises of traffic clatter, so finding serenity deep within the storm and chaos of the matrix, symbolized by the rattling train passing by, resonates strongly with me. Yukia's fluid watery movements, interspersed with powerful and firm "stand and hold" arm/fist pumps, feel like the perfect blend of divine masculine purpose and divine feminine surrender and acceptance. The perfect dance, the perfect way of being as you so aptly describe it. Peace, ahhhhhhh, yes. x Catherine

The gorgeous images and gentle, soothing sounds of the piano and violin fill my heart with peace, wonder, and beauty. And I love this quote especially:

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment…" Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Thank you, Yulia. x Catherine

Thanks for posting - wow he is so right on it sends shivers, wander where he is from? x

Brilliant! I am hoping to lose a few things coming out there this summer but I think I am going to pick myself up one of these accents while I'm there.

That's beautiful - Rumi was such a blessing. How deep these words can take you. I watched this one too recently...

Thanks for sharing John - wonderful

I saw this too, held my breath as I watched it. I switched off a little when I saw it was Van Damme, probably on account of his past advertising roles, and instead marvelled at the precision of the trucks (drivers)...am I that matrixy that I fell for the marketing so utterly as per the intended hook. ha ha

Ultimately for me it does feel very matrixy and ching ching, with over 13 million hits in 24 hours, I'm sure they are happy. On a personal level for Van Damme feels like he's reclaiming some of his artistic dignity previously lost.

Am I taking it and myself a bit too seriously perhaps :).
On a lighter note, something I'm likely to never forget watching.

I've also never been a fan of his work. Here he is different. More mature, more humble, even somewhat broken (in a good way). In the early days you could feel the ego doing the splits. Now it's like a test of trust. At least this is what I am getting. It adds a lot to the ad :D

I was amazed when I saw it. I could immediately empathise with how he might be feeling as the trucks pulled apart. Whatever you may think, whether there's ego or not in testing oneself in this way, it would take enormous surrender to do something like it. I've never been that aligned with Van Damme's 'artistry', but I take my hat off to him on this one!
