Life is like the waves in the sea. Sometimes calm, sometimes wild and in constant change. We can’t hold on to the waves, but still we try all the time. We would like things to stay the way they are right now. But we can’t. When we observe nature, we learn that everything follows a perfect order. Only it is we ourselves who, because of our attachments and views, cannot always recognize it. Our view is clouded as if through dirty glasses.
All cultures on planet earth that ever existed worshiped the divine. In traditional civilized societies as well as in indigenous societies this relationship is deeply rooted and is an integral part of the culture.Throughout history many wise men and women have appeared in society, teaching humanity and imparting high moral values. Today, however, people who follow traditional value systems and have not yet given up their relationship with the divine are more likely to be ridiculed in the current of society. Were our ancestors all just primitive and imaginative lunatics? Is it perhaps more important today than ever to engage ourselves with the divine?
Art has accompanied mankind since time immemorial. It is part of the culture of every civilization, civilization period and ethnicity. If we consider art as a language, it is noticeable that the communication between the art object and the viewer takes place on different levels. The same is true for music, literature, film, poetry, etc. But in the last few dozen years, in the wake of various modern trends, more and more of the original idea of art has been lost, until in the end communication hardly took place at all.
The current situation challenges every individual and society enormously. Reports about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are being broadcast around the clock, so to speak. The newspapers and the Internet are also full of them. China, which is under the rule of the communist regime, is once again harming the whole world with its cynical and lying behaviour, thus showing its true face. Time to take a look behind the scenes.
Raised beds are a practical thing. They offer many advantages in the garden, and are also a design element. Since I like the smell of fresh sawdust in between, I decided to build two new raised beds myself.
A photo hike around the Seealpsee with overnight stay under the clear starry sky and view of the Milky Way. On the second day I continued at dusk around Seealpsee and later on Ebenalp and Schäfler. From up there you had a wonderful view of the Vorarlberg Alps, Lake Constance and of course the Säntis.
Though the communist regimes of Eastern Europe have disintegrated, the evil specter of communism hasn’t disappeared. On the contrary, this evil specter is already ruling our world, and humanity must not harbor a mistaken sense of optimism.
Communism is neither a trend of thought, nor a doctrine, nor a failed attempt at a new way of ordering human affairs. Instead, it should be understood as a devil — an evil specter forged by hate, degeneracy, and other elemental forces in the universe. In another dimension, not visible to us, it took the form of a serpent, then that of a red dragon, and it keeps company with Satan, who hates God. It exploits low-level beings and demons to wreak havoc on humankind. The goal of the specter is to ruin humanity. While the divine offers salvation, communism tells people not to believe in the divine, attacks human morality so as to make people abandon tradition, and causes people to disregard God’s instruction and, ultimately, be destroyed.
