That is where we are today as a society. Living our life as we’re clinging to a rock such that our life depends on it.

The analogy I want to share here is different though

Each and everyone of us is living in an elevator. A glass / translucent elevator. The only pitty thing is that we typically don’t know.

If we knew this, most if not all suffering in the world would have come to an end already.

For years I tried to make sense of my BANG experience — it was so profound so peaceful and so exceptional. And at the same time it was more “familiar” or more “home” than anything else I had experienced before.

At the time,

Perhaps the biggest reason why crop circles speak to our imagination is the idea that they might be made by extraterrestrial life, for instance by UFO’s. I, too, wonder if there is a link.

But the point I want to share here is that crop circles remain equally fascinating even if

If the trees on this picture were to represent the thoughts we humans have. And if the rivers were to represent our emotions, the rolling hills our behaviors; and if we even found something of the Earth that could epresent our physical organs, etc. Then it would be easy to say that, in line with that analogy, the Earth is who we are.

When are we going to finally give more attention to the invisible? Not the hocus pocus invisible. But the invisible that actually matters, and that can mean the difference between life and death?

Is that the good part of the Corona crisis? That we now are being forced to start paying attention to the invisible? The Corona virus itself is invisible. And yes it matters.

Spacewalker & Robot. Twee prachtige creaties van de Leuvense artiest / creatieve duizendpoot / bezielend kunstenaar … Pieter Janssens.

Allebei sterk tot de verbeelding sprekend. En — lucky me!

Sometimes I feel literally like an alien. When I tell people that our belly needs way more attention than we are willing to give it in our current Western world. Even people with recent intestine surgery do not seem to relate to the idea easily.

While it makes sooo much sense to me —

We as modern Westerners have a very strong “head” power center. We are mostly intellectual, smart, analytical and solution oriented thinkers. And that is great.

In all that smart power, though, the 2020 worldwide health crisis is now seriously challenging our way of living. In a potentially radical way: we are clearly invited to make substantial changes in the way we are going through our typical day — and go about running our entire lives.

Imagine a world in which every single inhabitant has 2 power fuels at his/her disposal. The first looks like water and the second is like magic potion.

Both are healthy and nourishing but the magic power is offering kind of an extra power, a super power.

The interesting thing about the inhabitants of this world is then that

We zitten allemaal in ons kot. En zelfs rijke celebrities vinden dat hun villa / mansion begint te voelen als een gevangenis. The point being: zelfs al zitten we in een relatief groot “kot”, dat begint beklemmend te voelen na een tijd.

Ideaal moment om uit te breiden. En een lift te installeren.

Blijf in uw kot!

We hebben het er almaar moeilijker mee om in ons kot te blijven, zo bleek afgelopen weekend. Omdat de quarantaine lang duurt. Omdat het zo mooi weer was etc. Een belangrijke reden dat we het er moeilijk mee hebben is ongetwijfeld het gevoel hebben dat onze vrijheid beknot wordt. En die vrijheid is net onze kracht, onze power. Zo vinden we.

With the lockdown in full swing we now have ample opportunity to make the most of our indoor time. With breath taking indoor trips that we would otherwise not have the time for!

How about your very own Hot Air Balloon Ride? Below I am sharing exactly that:

Out of nowhere: BANG!

As if thunder had struck. Or as if a fighter jet had just broken through the sound barrier. An ear deafening BANG sound signalled we had just entered a new “situation”. Even a new reality.

If my painting would not be found until a few hundred or even thousand years from now, it would look like the picture above.

And the decoding of the encrypted message would look something like this.

Background on status before the Corona Crisis:

In one of the most popular and inspiring TED talks ever, Dr Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, eloquently illustrates how our two brain hemispheres are very different: left vs right hemisphere. And how it is our right hemisphere that helps us to experience “heaven on earth”. She knows because she suffered a brain stroke which literally turned off her left hemisphere.

We should be traveling to the Sun in our solar system.
With a space ship.

To the SUN!

Wait. What?!

Why the heck is that?

Chaos is all over the place. In just a few weeks our entire world has changed dramatically. There’s chaos in the world out there. Chaos, also in our heads and minds. No fun at all.

Look at this cave painting. Painted between 3000 to 40 000 years ago by our primitive ancestors, according to mainstream textbooks.

Or, could it be that it is not the work of primitive people?

Something important is missing!

Experts and government in Belgium are encouraging the healthy population to keep on exercising despite the lockdown. More in general they also have been stating explicitly that the population will have to play a big role in getting through this crisis. I agree. And the advice about exercising is extremely useful.

But …
