Kahlu doesn’t speak. Again Kahlu doesn’t speak. The fact that Kahlu doesn’t speak is meaningful in itself. I lie in bed waiting for Kahlu to speak. Nothing. “What about the blog?” my thinking mind says. “Keep quiet,” another voice echoes.

Kahlu speaks. It is time for you to say what is your deepest truth. “You are afraid to speak what is really in your heart. This is why I am quiet. Be afraid and risk. Stick your neck out for what is just and real for you. Be a model for others to honestly speak out and make a difference,” whispers Kahlu at 4:30 this morning.

Okay Kahlu, if that is what you speak, I am ready. I listen. I fear what others will say. I fear my reputation. I fear that no one will like me. I fear rejection. But with your guidance I shall just do it, like the Nike advertisement says.

Pheew, that feels better already. What is worse to be alone with one’s ideas, thoughts, heart felt sensations, visions, dreams, values, ideals and live in this inner world of feeling separate? Or, is it valuable to step out join with others and speak the truth. This is new for me, so I give it a try.

Since Valentine’s Day, I have been feeling the war inside. Of course, this is my inner experience, and also fueled by the happenings in our world. Last summer, I met with my friend Samuel (www.bartussek.info ) in Vienna. He is a professional mime. With the help of my business partner Peter Hauschild, we filmed Samuel miming various emotional states. I have posted the first video clip on youtube and my website. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIensYgFZUc

War, the fighting of human beings is a reflection of an internal state of deep emotion-anger and frustration. The video shows this inner rage. There are skilful ways to let it out without hurting or killing others. Dealing with emotion alters our outer view.

By the way, I conducted a pilot study where I had nearsighted people view this video. Their eyesight without glasses a very significant amount of the time became worse after seeing the videoclip. The implication is that witnessing destructive emotion affects our seeing. Read the paper healthy emotions and improving vision. www.beyond2020vision.com/publishedpapers
