Pe Alex nu il cunosc personal, ca pe multi dintre prietenii mei virtuali. El, de fapt, nici nu stie ca mi-e prieten, he, he! But that’s ok. Pentru mine, o persoana care ma inspira e un prieten de nadejde, intr-o lume in care indoiala, spiritul critic si victimizarea hranesc atat de multe suflete. Imi place mult de Alex. Nu spun mai multe. Te invit sa ii citesti randurile. Si daca te lasi purtat dincolo de tipare, macar pret de un articol, atunci s-ar putea sa fii…surprins. 🙂

I do not know Alex in person, as I do not know many of my virtual friends. Alex actually does not even know he’s a friend of mine, he, he! But that’s ok. For me, a person who inspires me is a friend of hope, in a world where doubt, critical spirit and victimization feed so many souls. I like a lot Alex. And I won’t say more. I invite you to read his words. And if you let yourself be worn, at least while reading this article, beyond your patterns, then you may be …surprised. 🙂

Liorisme:  Alex, mi-ar placea sa iti amintesti doua, trei scene din copilaria mica, care crezi ca te-au marcat.

Liorisme: Alex, I would like you to remember two, three moments from your childhood, that you think left a trace on you.

Alex:  Salutare Lioara, salutare lume! Ma bucur ca am ocazia sa scriu pentru Liorisme.

Hmm…Una dintre amintiri, si poate cea mai marcanta, e una de pe la 14 ani, cand stateam pe WC (trebuie sa fiu sincer, ha, ha!) si imi trecea prin cap ceva de genul: “Suntem dumnezei si avem superputeri.” Era doar un gand nevinovat, dar, oarecum, eram sigur de el. Mai apoi, mi-am dat seama ca exact asa si este (mai mult sau mai putin). 😛

A doua amintire e legata de faptul ca eram foarte atras de serialul de desene animate, “Captain Planet”. De fiecare data cand ratam un episod plangeam, o certam pe mama si ii spuneam sa dea timpul inapoi, ca sa-l pot vedea. 🙂

Al treilea lucru care m-a marcat a fost prin clasa a IX-a, cand am realizat cat de inutil e sistemul de invatamant, astfel incat am decis ca nu o sa mai iau vreo notita la vreo ora. Zis si facut. In anii de liceu si de facultate nu am scris mai nimic. La inceputul facultatii am scris in primele 2 luni, dupa care nici nu m-am mai prezentat la cursuri. Cu toate astea, am luat toate examenele, plus bac-ul si licenta (in totalitate copiata de pe google), cu brio. Asta a fost dovada clara ca doar incredere in mine imi trebuie si orice e posibil (apropos de dumnezei). :D.

Alex: Hello, Lioara! Hello, world! I’m glad I have the chance to answer your questions! Hmm … One of the memory and perhaps the most remarkable one is when I was about 14 years old and I was sitting on the toilet (I have to be honest, ha,ha!) and I thought something like, “We are gods and we have superpowers.” It was just an innocent thought, but somehow I was sure of it. Then I realized that it was true (more or less): P.

The second memory is linked to the time when I was very attracted to the cartoon series , “Captain Planet.” Each time I missed an episode, I was crying and arguing with my mother and telling her to give time back, to see it. Ha, ha!

The third memory I have it from first year in high school and it has to do with the moment I realized how useless the education system was, and so I decided I would not write down anymore at any school class. Said and done. In high school and college years I did not write anything. At the beginning of the faculty I took some notes the first 2 months, after which I did not even went to classes anymore. But, I took all the exams, plus the Highschool final exam and the license (totally copied from Google), with a brill. It was clear that all I needed was to trust in myself and then everything was possible (speaking of gods): D.

Liorisme:  Stiu ca nu ai copii inca. Dar tocmai de aceea te intreb: cat de important crezi ca e rolul parintilor in viata emotionala si spirituala a copilului?

Liorisme:  I know you do not have children yet. But that’s why I ask you: how important do you think the role of parents is for the emotional and spiritual life of the child?

Alex: Parintii au un rol foarte important, insa intr-un mod diferit de cum e conditionata societatea sa creada. Consider ca un copil nu trebuie educat, ci sprijinit in dezvoltarea sa. Parintii trebuie sa ii acorde protectie, suport si intelegere totala, neconditionata, astfel incat sa se dezvolte exact asa cum intuitiv simte. Orice copil are propriul sau ghidaj in viata, nu are nevoie de indoctrinare parinteasca sau de educatie fortata. Trebuie doar sa ii fim alaturi, in orice isi doreste sa fie sau sa experimenteze si sa-i explicam constient si pe cat se poate de obiectiv, toate curiozitatile pe care le are si lumea in care se afla.

Alex: Parents have a very important role, but in a different way from how society is conditioned. I believe that a child should not be educated, but supported in his development. Parents must provide protection, support and understanding, unconditional, so that kids may develop exactly as they intuitively feel. Every child has his or her own life inner guidance and does not need parental indoctrination or forced education. We just have to join them in whatever they want to be or to experiment and explain them in a conscious and objective way, all the curiosities that they have and the world in which they live.

Liorisme: Acum te rog sa imi povestesti despre adolescentul Alexandru. Cum erai atunci si ce ai schimba, daca ai schimba ceva, privind in urma?

Liorisme: Now please tell me about teenager Alexandru. How were you back then and what would you change, if you  would changed something, looking back?

Alex: Buna intrebare! 🙂 Am fost foarte rebel si liber. Pur si simplu, mama mi-a oferit tot ce am avut nevoie, in functie de cat si-a permis. Pentru asta ii sunt super recunoscator si o iubesc enorm!

Am trecut prin liceu si prin facultate foarte rapid si am adunat momente foarte frumoase. Am muncit de la 17 ani in paralel si am trait confortabil cu prietena mea de la vremea aceea, cu care am fost impreuna in cam toata perioada adolescentei (9 ani), ferit de responsabilitati. Mai apoi, m-am lovit putin de partea mai aspra a vietii, pe care mama s-a ferit oarecum sa mi-o arate.

O greutate pe care am simtit-o, si mi-am dat seama de ea pe parcurs, a fost faptul ca nu mi-am cunoscut niciodata, oficial, tatal. Am incercat sa o fac odata, pe la 16 ani, pe urma pe la 23 ani in mod indirect, insa respingerea sa mi-a zguduit considerabil increderea de sine, care a iesit la suprafata ca rana ulterior, totodata fiind provocarea si motivatia mea de a ma intelege si mai tare si de a imi continua drumul, pentru ca, bineinteles, nu suntem ceea ce ni se intampla.

Alex: That’s a good question! 🙂 I was very rebellious and free. My mother just gave me everything I needed, everything she could. That’s why I am very thankful and I love her so much! I went through high school and college very quickly and gathered very beautiful moments. I worked since I was 17 years old and lived comfortably with my girlfriend at that time, with whom I was together for the entire teenage period (9 years), away from responsibilities. Later, I struck a little bit of the harsher part of my life, which my mother somehow refrained from showing me.

A difficult part of my youth was the fact that I never knew my father officially. I tried to met him once, at the age of 16, then at 23 years, indirectly, but his rejection has shaken considerably my self-confidence, which came to the surface as a wound; but it was my challenge and motivation to understand me even harder and to continue my journey, because, of course, we are not what happens to us.

Liorisme: Cum si cand a inceput intoarcerea la tine? A fost ceva ce a provocat asta?

Liorisme: How and when you started to come back to yourself? Was is it something in particular that led to that?

Alex: S-a intamplat la 25 ani. Ma mutasem in 2012 in Germania, iar in 2013 am avut o faza in care am ajuns la fundul sacului pe toate aspectele. Dependent de tigari, alcool, de casino, fara persepctiva si dupa despartirea de prietena mea din adolescenta, m-am decis sa fac, in sfarsit, ceva pozitiv pentru mine: am decis sa ma las de fumat.

Am simtit ca trebuie sa citesc o carte cu privire la asta (“Metoda usoara” de Allen Carr). La un moment dat, in carte era o fraza de genul: “Nimic nu poate avea controlul asupra ta”. Dupa aceasta fraza…m-am lasat usor pe spate si o senzatie calda mi-a cuprins corpul in totalitate. Am simtit unitate si conexiune in tot ce exista.

Mi-am vazut toate tiparele si programarile, care nu mai aveau niciun efect asupra mea. Eram intr-o stare de continuu extaz, in care toate piesele din puzzle se conectau perfect, pe masura ce zilele treceau. Tot ce am am simtit atunci mi-a schimbat complet perceptia despre cine si ce suntem si m-a facut sa inteleg de ce am avut acel gand cand aveam 14 ani, pe WC. Ha, ha!

La scurt timp dupa asta, am trait niste experiente foarte intense si inexplicabile pentru mintea mea, la acea vreme, experiente care mi-au schimbat in proportie de peste 90% viata. Am scris ceva despre ele pe blogul meu. O sa numesc cateva: telepatie, telekinezie, mind reading, intuitie foarte puternica, experiente in afara corpului fizic, unconditional love, unitate sau onness, abilitatea de a imi vindeca corpul de dureri (si celorlalti), etc. Practic, mi-am dat seama cine si ce suntem cu adevarat.

Dupa aceste experiente, am avut o perioada in care am fost total in dubii, o perioada in care mi-am cunoscut conditionarile, blocajele, and so on.

Alex: It happened when I was 25 years old. I moved to Germany in 2012 and in 2013 I was in a phase in which I reached the bottom of the bag, in all aspects. Addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, casino, without any future and after my teenage girlfriend broke up with me, I finally decided to do something positive for me: I decided to quit smoking.

I felt like I had to read a book on this  matter (“Easy Method” by Allen Carr). At one point, in the book  there was a phrase like: “Nothing can have control over you.” After reading this phrase … I layed slightly on my back and a warm sensation filled my body completely. I felt unity and connection in everything.

I saw all the patterns and all the programing that no longer had any effect on me. I was in a state of constant ecstasy, in which all the puzzle pieces connected perfectly as the days passed. Everything I felt back then had completely changed my perception of who and what we are and made me understand why I had that thought when I was 14 years old , while I was sitting on the toilet. Ha, ha!

Shortly after that, I experienced some very intense and unexplained experiences for my mind, at that time, experiences that changed my life for over 90%. I wrote something about them on my blog. I will mention only a few: telepathy, telekinesis, mind reading, very strong intuition, experiences outside the physical body, unconditional love, unity or onness, the ability to heal my body of pain (and others), etc. Actually, I figured out who we are and what we really are.

After these experiences, I had a period when I was totally in doubt, a time when I knew my condition, blockages, and so on.

Liorisme: Ce inseamna pentru tine aceste concepte: cunoastere, vindecare, observare, auto imputernicire, eliberare, detoxifiere, monogamie.

Liorisme: What does these concepts mean to you: knowledge, healing, observation, self-empowerment, liberation, detoxification, monogamy.

Alex: Imi place intreabarea! 🙂 O sa le iau pe rand:

Cunoastere: Cunoasterea, pentru mine, e mai degraba amintirea a ceea ce suntem, atat la nivel uman, cat si universal. Cred ca o numim intelepciune si toti o putem accesa cand suntem conectati cu intuitia noastra. De indata ce facem asta, cunoasterea devine infinita, pentru ca este, infinita, iar noi vom realiza cat de putin cunoastem de fapt, deschizandu-ne mintea pentru adevarata cunoastere, care se afla in fiecare dintre noi, indiferent de cat de cliche suna.

Vindecare: Vindecarea pentru mine este procesul in care realizam anumite traume sau experiente, care ne-au marcat viata si ne-au facut sa credem ca suntem altceva decat ceea ce suntem de fapt. De regula, asta ni se intampla cand ne identificam cu experienta pe care am trait-o. Cand ne dam seama de acea experienta care ne-a tinut in “cusca mintii sau a emotiilor mai putin pozitive”, incepe procesul de vindecare.

Observare: Observarea inseamna pentru mine starea de a fi (momentul prezent), in care nu ne identificam nici cu emotiile, si nici cu gandurile. Pur si simplu, le observam, fara a le pune vreo eticheta sau a ne identifica cu ele.

Aceasi metoda se aplica si in cazul in care putem privi lumea din afara, fara a ne atasa de ea. Asta nu inseamna ca nu o facem, ba din contra; o vom face pentru ca poate avem ceva de “rezolvat” acolo, insa usor, usor nu ne vom mai pierde in contextul sau, devenim observatori, exploratori. 🙂

Auto imputernicire: daca stau bine sa ma gandesc, cam cu termenul asta am de a face in ultima perioada. :P. Pentru mine, auto imputernicirea este capacitatea de a te cunoaste intr-un mod in care aproape nimic din lumea de afara nu iti mai poate afecta increderea, iubirea, siguranta si perceptia de sine, care nu mai e creata de iluzii mentale, de lumea exterioara sau de realizari materiale, ci de propria experienta sau realizarile interioare, pe care le-ai constientizat.

Eliberare: Pentru mine eliberare semnifica iesirea din “Regatul Mintii”, sa spunem asa. Ceea ce inseamna sa ne dezvatam sau sa ne eliberam de controlul mintii. Cred ca ar fi sinonim cu Iluminare sau cu Self-realization.

Aici vreau sa mai adaug ceva. Eliberare sau Iluminare nu inseamna sa ne transcendem corpul, sa meditam sau sa facem yoga pana in punctul in care ne numim profesionisti…sau sa facem ce a facut Buddha ori sa invatam sa mergem pe apa, asa cum se zice ca a facut Iisus. Eliberarea presupune doar sa iesi din controlul mintii, punct. Cand mintea ne devine prieten, ci nu judecator, o sa aflam ce este posibil si ce nu. 🙂

Detoxifiere: Detoxifierea o includ cam in aceasi categorie cu Vindecarea si Eliberarea. Diferenta e ca noi intelegem mai mult aspectele fizice cand e vorba de detoxifiere. Detoxifierea e atat fizica, cat si  emotionala, dar si mentala. Orice fel de informatie consumam, care e toxica pentru minte sau corp, necesita detoxifiere intr-o masura sau alta. Cea mai buna metoda de detoxifiere se poate obtine prin post cu lichid sau post negru, din experienta mea. Cand se intampla asta, atat corpul fizic, cat si mentalul si emotionalul, scot la suprafata tot ce nu mai avem nevoie si se reseteaza.

O mica paranteza aici…Daca ne uitam la religie, observam ca e bazata pe adevar universal manipulat, facut astfel incat sa controleze masa de oameni dintr-o anumita perioada, in functie de perceptia celor care conduceau lumea pe atunci. Insa daca e sa luam ceva foarte util din religie, acel lucru ar fi postul. Postul ar trebui insa experiementat in conditiile fiecaruia,  nu in conditiile in care religia ne forteaza sa o facem.

Monogamie: Monogamia cred ca este cauzata de identificarea cu instinctele primare de perpetuare a speciei. Suntem monogami cand consideram ca am gasit un partener ideal pentru a ne trai viata alaturi de el si a ne reproduce. Insa viata nu e doar despre asta, e practic un experiment in care invatam ce si cine suntem in primul rand. De la monogamie si pana la atasament emotional si co-dependenta este o line foarte fina. Cred ca suntem atat monogami, cat si poligami sau poliamori, mai bine zis. Depinde de fiecare in ce proces se afla si ce simte sa experimenteze. As putea sa intru mult mai tare in detalii, insa prefer sa ma opresc aici, pentru ca am experimentat prea putin acest lucru. Pot doar sa spun ca m-am simtit oarecum monogam dintotdeauna, insa in ultimii ani nu ma dereanjeaza deloc ideea de a avea mai multi parteneri, care si ei la randul lor sa aiba, bineinteles, mai multi parteneri. Insa, asa cum am zis, inca nu am experimentat asta. Las usa deschisa…hahaha. 🙂

Alex: I like that! 🙂 I’ll take them one by one:

Knowledge: Knowledge for me is rather the memory of what we are, both as humans and at universal level. I think we call it wisdom and we can all access it when we are connected with our intuition. As soon as we do this, knowledge becomes infinite, because it is infinite, and we will realize how little we actually know, opening our mind to the true knowledge that is in each of us, no matter how cliche it sounds.

Healing: Healing for me is the process of realizing the traumas or the experiences that marked our lives and made us think that we are nothing but what we actually are. Usually, this happens to us when we identify with the experience we have experienced. When we realize that experience, that kept us in the “cage of the mind or the less positive emotions”, the healing process begins.

Observation: Observation means for me the state of being (present moment), in which we do not identify with emotions, nor with thoughts. We simply notice them without tagging them or identifying with them.

The same method applies if we can look at the outside world without attaching it to it. That does not mean we do not do it, on the contrary; we will do it because we may have something to “solve” out there, but along the way, at some point, we will not get lost in it anymore and we become observers, explorers. 🙂

Self-empowerment: If I get to think about, I lately have a lot to work with with it: P. For me, self-empowerment is the ability to know you in a way that almost nothing in the outside world can affect your trust, love, self-esteem and self-perception, which is no longer created by mental illusions, by the outside world or material achievements, but by your own experience or inner achievements that you have become aware of.

Liberation: For me, liberation signifies the exit from the Kingdom of the Mind, so to speak. Which means to unleash or free our mind control. I think it would be synonymous with Enlightenment or Self-realization. Here I want to add something. Liberation or Enlightenment does not mean to transcend our body, meditate or do yoga to the point where we call ourselves professionals … or do what the Buddha did or learn to walk on water, as it is said that Jesus did. Liberation requires only to get out of mind control. That’s all. When the mind becomes our friend, not the judge, we will find out what is possible and what is not. 🙂

Detoxification: Detoxification is in the same category as Healing and Liberartion. The difference is that we understand detoxification more at the physical level. But Detoxification is physical, emotional and mental. Any kind of information we consume, which is toxic to the mind or body, requires detoxification to one degree or another. The best method of detoxification can be obtained by wet fasting or dry fasting, from my experience. When this happens, the physical body, the mental and the emotional, bring to the surface everything we do not need and resets.

… If we look at religion, we notice that it is based on universally manipulated truth and was made to control the mass of people in a certain period of time, depending on the perception of those who were leading the world at that time. But if something very useful can be used from religion, that would be fasting. Yet, the fasting should be experimented in the conditions of each person, not in the conditions in which religion forces us to do it.

Monogamy: Monogamy is thought to be caused by identification with the primary instincts of perpetuation of the species. We are monogamous when we consider that we have found an ideal partner to live our lives with and reproduce. But life is not just about it, it’s basically an experiment in which we learn what and who we are. From monogamy to emotional attachment and co-addiction is a very fine line. I think we’re both monogamous, polygamous or polyamories. It depends on each person at what level he/she is and how he/she feels to experience life. I could go much deeper into detail, but I prefer to stop here because I have experienced too little with this. I can only say that I have been feeling somehow monogamous all my life, but in the last few years I do not mind the idea of ​​having many partners, who, of course, have many partners at the same time. But, as I said, I have not experienced this yet. I leave the door opened … hahaha. 🙂

Liorisme:  Ai simtit ca social ai de pierdut, atunci cand ai inceput sa te schimbi?

Liorisme: Did you feel that at social level, you lost something, when you started to change?

Alex: In general, eram constient ca e inevitabil sa se intample asta, pe masura ce contextul in care eram implicat social cu anumiti oameni nu mi se mai parea benefic. In timp, mi-am dat seama ca practic eu aveam nevoie de spatiu pentru a ma descoperi tot mai adanc, iar in acel spatiu anumiti oameni mai mult incurcau, decat ajutau; pierderea nu s-a mai simtit a fi pierdere.  Am avut ceva dificultati in a da drumul anumitor prietenii vechi si m-am simtit vinovat pentru asta, insa cu o mare parte din ei sunt inca in contact, pentru ca si ei s-au schimbat mult la randul lor.

Alex: Generally, I was aware that this is inevitable, as the context in which I was socially involved with some people did not seem to me anymore beneficial. In time, I realized that actually I needed space to find myself deeper, and in that space, some people wouldn’t helping; the loss was no longer a loss. I had some difficulty in letting some old friends go and I felt guilty for that, but with many of them I am still in contact, because they also changed a lot.

Liorisme: Cu ce te ocupi?

Liorisme: What do you do for a living?

Alex: Ma ocup de coaching in auto-cunoastere si realizare de sine (de la consiliere pana la meditatie); sunt la inceput de drum; in paralel, ma ocup si cu online marketing, webdesign si online business, pentru cei care si-au creat afaceri pentru a transforma lumea in mai bine.

Alex: I do coaching for self-knowledge and self-realization (from counseling to meditation), who is at the beginning of the road and, in parallel, I also do online marketing, web design and online business for those who have created business to make the world better.

Liorisme: Care au fost schimbarile suferite la nivel fizic, produse de  noul mod de a te alimenta? Dar pe plan mental?

Liorisme: What were the physical changes that you’ve seen when you changed the way you were eating? What changed mentally?

Alex: Am trecut de la a fi vegetarian, la vegan, la raw vegan, chiar si frugivor pentru o perioada; acum consum 90% alimente raw vegane, iar baza e constituita din fructe. Schimbarile au fost uimitoare. O sa numesc cateva: digestie imbunatatita pana la ideala, greutate ideala, par si piele sanatoasa, eliminare usoara, energie crescuta, claritate mentala, pozitivitate, compasiune, etc. Inca stau sa ma gandesc la un aspect negativ de mai bine de 4 ani, de cand am inceput sa fac schimbarile astea, si nu am gasit unul.

Alex: I’ve went from being vegetarian, to vegan, to raw vegan, even frugivore for a while; now I eat 90% raw vegan food, and the base is made of fruits. The changes were amazing. I will mention a few: improved digestion to ideal, ideal weight, healthy hair and skin, easy removal, increased energy, mental clarity, positivity, compassion, etc. I’m still thinking about a negative aspect for more than 4 years, since I started making these changes, and I have not found one.

…to be continued.
