There was someone in the spooky mansion today...

What is money? How does it work?

Was ist Geld? Wie funktioniert es?

Money is just paper. It is worth something just because you believe in it. And it is energy, if you are constantly worrying about it you are more slightly to be part of the system.

One good solution would be to have gold and silver coins, or gold dinars and silver dirhams, this money would always be worth something. 

Instead they want you to use plastic money, computer money, which does only exist on computer screens. 

Usury has to be forbidden! People should have a right to have a home, enough for food and clothing. Instead banks are owning everything and getting everything they want. 

A normal man´s work is worth nothing. If you pay all the taxes there is nothing left to live.

Stop it now! The enemy is not what media tells you: it is the system. And the media is part of the system. Start thinking, stop worrying. I am sure there is a solution and we will have peace in this world everywhere one day. But you have to wake up now.

Surrounded by Prophets... ;)

Open your hearts and your minds will follow!

Evening light

I know, this Blog is named Artworkdiary and should handle more with art, but the things going on in this world are so awful that I feel obliged to inform all people about it.
Hence my camera has been stolen I am not able to show you my new works on paper.  So I am showing you some of the pictures I took last year and dealing more with world problems, as I said before this is really a big issue at the moment.

Hadiths and magnolias in full bloom for your eyes and your souls. May you look at the world with your hearts.

After all these bad news I wanted to show you something beautiful: these pictures I took last spring. SubhanAllah, if this world can be that beautiful, how beautiful may it be in Paradise. May we all one day be there together united with our beloved ones.

HADITH 27

And on the authority of Wabisa bin Mabad, may Allah be pleased with 

him, who said: 

I came to the messenger of Allah and he said: "You have come to ask 

about righteousness ?". 

I said:" Yes." 

He said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and from in the breast even though people again and again have given you their legal opinion [in its favor]."

HADITH 40

On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, who said: The messenger of Allah took me by the shoulder and said: 

"Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer."

The son of Omar used to say: 

"At evening do not expect [to live till] morning, and at morning do not expect [to live till] evening. 

Take from your health for your illness and from your life for your death." 

related by Bukhari

HADITH 22

On the authority of Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ashari said that the messenger of Allah said: 

"Purity is half of faith.  alhamdu-lillah  [Praise be to Allah] fills the scales, and  subhana-Allah  [How far is Allah from every imperfection] and  alhamdu-lillah  [Praise be to Allah] fill that which is between heaven and earth. 

Prayer is light; charity is a proof; patience is illumination; and the Quran is an argument for or against you. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin." 

related by Muslim. 

HADITH 34

On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khurdari, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:

"Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith."

related by Muslim.

The Art of Baking Bread - Dinkelbrot OHNE Backmischung, Rezept

Endlich ist es mir gelungen, Brot zu backen, das aufgeht! In diesem Brot ist nur was drin sein sollte.


Zutaten:

Hefe

1 kg Dinkelmehl

eine große Prise Salz

je nach Geschmack: Anis, Fenchel, Korianderund/oder Kümmel

etwas Weizenmehl

Wasser

Zubereitung:

Wasser mit Hefe mischen, sie soll sich gut auflösen in der Schüssel. Etwas Dinkelmehl beigeben, das ganze 15 min an einem warmen Ort stehen lassen bis es Blasen bildet.
Dann Teig mindestens 10 Minuten ordentlich durchkneten.

Eine Stunde aufgehen lassen (wieder an einem warmen Ort).  Zwei dünne längliche Laibe formen (sie sahen aus wie Kornspitze), auf Backpapier oder geöltes Blech legen.
Wichtig: Eine ofenfeste Tasse mit Wasser in den Ofen stellen!
Ca. 20 Minuten bei 200°C backen.


Der Geschmack ist nicht vergleichbar mit dem was sonst beim Bäcker gekauft wird, denn fast alle Bäcker verwenden aus Kostengründen im Ausland produzierte Backmischungen von denen wir Konsumenten nicht wissen, was drin ist.

I fell in love with the light today

S o t h a t I m a y p e r c e i v e w h a t h o l d s o u r w o r l d t o g e t h er Hans-Peter Dürr/Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Ich glaube überhaupt nicht daran, dass man die globalen Probleme auch global lösen kann. Auch die Natur löst globale Probleme, indem sie lokal etwas verändert, auf eine solche Art und Weise, die allmählich in größere Dimensionen hineinwächst.  

Hans-Peter Dürr, Was unsere Welt im Innersten zusammenhält

  So that I may perceive what holds our world together 

  Egoism will ruin mankind. It is the ego people define themselves through, and this is only a small part of what we experience as the ego, which includes other things [...]

 Strengthening egoism is devastating; strengthening, stressing individualization is very important. It enables every human to develop his or her abilities beyond the ego by also developing the emotional and the spiritual dimension. The spiritual dimension will show to the individual that it is embedded in a larger context that places certain limits to its development.

  We talk much about freedom. freedom, however, cannot mean "freedom in relation to everything". Freedom has its own limits. Freedom must always be seen in relation to the question "Freedom for what?", not just "Freedom whereof?", which means to fling off restraints. "Freedom for what?" means to assume responsibility once we have debeloped freedom. Placing limits on developing my own abilities, introducing them for the benefit of the community is a requirement we urgently must demand. It is not an unusual request; it is how we are conceived.

 Everybody with a spiritual relationship to this world will consider it most natural to give to the others, what he or she has to give, thus enriching the society. Destroying this spiritual dimension - as is often the case in our western society - leads into social isolation, and I am an egoist.

Green Dogs, screen prints on paper

Green dogs:
this screen print says more about humans. Nowadays everything is going so wrong, people behave just like dogs.
Dogs have instincts, they can have sex with any other dog and eat as much as they want and it´s no sin.
Humans need something to believe, there IS a purpose in life, but many don´t want to know it. It is so much easier to live your life like in the tv ads.
