Being single again


Gives me time for reflections again. Reflections about what I want with my life. What I want to experience, and what I want to spend time doing.

The other day I was at a nude beach here in Oslo, swimming with a blind person. He had entrusted his life in my care asking me if I wanted to swim with him, and guide him to a small reef. And so I did. We swam out with me chatting about this and that so that he could hear my voice to find the direction.

We sat out on the reef for one and a half hour, talking with a third man. A man who regularly practices Chi Gung. We talked about meditation, about finding out who we really are. Spirituality and mental happiness. He asked me if I was happy with my development, when I answered that this had been put to a halt while being in a relationship with a man that didn't share my belief in these sides of life. He was very clear when he said to me "Do what you want to do!" He told me about books written by an Author with the pen name A.H.Almaas. And encouraged me to read them. We also talked about Osho, and his perspectives of meditation and buddhism. Yesterday I bought a book by Osho called "When the shoe fits". I'm looking foreward to open it and read it properly... But wanted to ask you folks if you have read anything by this Almaas!? Please tell me about it!!
