Live the change you wish to see
“What is your new project?”, “How can I support?”, “Can you keep me updated?” are the questions that I get a lot lately. These questions made me realise that, after a year of silence, it is time to come out of my ‘cave’ and share my life and light with you again. With this first blog post I would like to give you a small dive into my process, share my dreams and open a new door, a door that we can enter together.
When Light shines upon the shadows,
when we see what was invisible before,
when our eyes open behind old borders,
we will find new doors to open,
new roads to enter,
new fields to explore
First I would like to share the steps that brought me to the place where I am right now.
Three years ago I founded I CHANGE, a movement to minimise food waste. With the instant support of the municipality, local bank and a lot of companies and local people, I CHANGE launched like a rocket. Within one year we built a Food Hub in the middle of the city. The Hub was our physical platform where we combined forces with food start-ups, restaurants, local companies and of course; the citizens of the city!
Our motto: ´Be the change you wish to see´, and by being very excited about our own changes we inspired other people and companies to change with us. Before I knew it we had started something that attracted a lot of people who wanted to help, who wanted to be a part of making the change. I CHANGE felt for me like giving birth to something that my soul wanted to give to this world; my soul mission.
In this beautiful project I could express all my talents
and at the same time I met all my challenges.
The realisation of what really happens in our food system also opened my eyes for every other system we live in. Everything I found in the shadows of our system felt like a disease within my own system, within my body. I was a part of a system where I did not believe in, but by living in it I supported the existence of it.
I was working on a beautiful project but inside I was facing a huge struggle: How to manifest my soul mission within a system that made me feel sick?
The choice to Live a Life of Light
After one and a half year of struggling I realised that I no longer could play along with the game that we play in the Western World. I realised that I needed to let go, I needed to let go of I CHANGE and my life within this reality. Without knowing what I would find outside the borders of our ‘comfortable’ system, my inner system faced so many errors that I just needed to step out.
I felt a longing, a hunger, a big desire for a new game. I just knew and know that that is where my place is; within the creation of the New. From that moment on I challenged myself to trust and surrender to the universal law of giving and receiving. I let go of all my belongings, left my country and started to live in the flow of life, without any financial income or savings.
I surrendered to the signs of my body, and freed myself to live the dreams that were growing inside of me. I dreamed about villages, villages where we live in freedom, where we live in balance with the plant and animal world, where we can live our true nature and express our true talents. I saw villages in all shapes and forms, all over the world. Villages that were lighting up like spotlights and attracted many people who were also longing to this New reality. All the villages were connected to each other to create a light network that together formed a new reality, a New World.
While this dream became more and more clear,
I found people that were dreaming the same dreams.
In Damanhur, a magical place close to Turin in Italy, I found the inspiration and support of creating this New reality. Here I found beautiful people with the same dreams, with the same vision and mission. And here we found a wonderful territory to create the first ‘Light Village’.
A doorway to the New
To create a Life of Light, a field of freedom, I would like to open the first door. This door is about a big belief that we carry; the belief that we need to work hard to earn money and to make a living. We live in a system where we learned that energy exchange is something that we can measure and control. It is a one on one transaction; if you give something, you get something in return. We believe that we need a big career to mean something, that our career represents the contribution we give to society.
I just never fit in that box, never felt the urge to make a career or even earn money, I felt the urge to make a change! I have always worked out of purpose, with passion and a strong mission to make a change. And to put a price tag on that work just never felt right. This has always been a big struggle for me, until I realised that the energy exchange where our society believes in, is different from how universal energy streams.
Surrender to the universal law of giving and receiving
Our natural energy streams freely, is unconditional and not a one on one transaction. Energy exchange is about giving and receiving. It is about trusting that you will receive as much as you give. But what you receive can come from a different source and can come in a different form than what you have given. This means that, for example, if I create a project to heal the earth, I don't expect the earth to pay me money for my working hours. But that I can trust that from different sources I will receive the resources I need to live my life.
The key to the flow of energy is the ability to give unconditionally and be open to receive. I think a lot of people recognize within themselves that they love to give, but find it hard to receive. When I realised that by receiving I give someone else the possibility to give, I felt something opening within myself and felt how the energy of giving could stream more freely. Since that moment I surrender to the energy flow of giving and receiving, and experienced how from unexpected sources I constantly receive the resources I need to live.
What if we would support each other
and lift each other up to create a new future.
What if we would free ourselves
and trust in the support from our surrounding.
What if we could create a basic income for all
of those who are here to make a change.
What if we can open a new field, a field of support
and sharing, a field of giving and receiving.
What if we can open this field together, here
and now, by opening the first door to a basic income
carried by the people.
Creating a Basic Income
The last months I received a lot of messages from people who were wondering what I am up to, what my next project would be and how they can support me. I realised that there will probably be enough people who would like to support me in the work that I do, and that the only thing that I need to do is to open the door.
With this realisation an idea of one and a half year ago came into my field again and asked to be shared. Back then I wrote a blog about creating a basic income for changemakers. About how beautiful it would be if the people would support those who are here to make a difference, those who are here to create a New future. A basic income based on donations from people who support the work that the changemaker does. Thanks to those donations we would have the resources to live our lives and be able to dedicate ourselves completely to the creation of change, the creation of the New.
Back then my words were based on the need to survive, which made it not the right energy and moment to make this idea into reality. Now I have found the rest within myself, the trust that life gives me exactly what I need, and now I have learned to receive. I feel that now the time has come to open the door to a Basic Income based on donations from those who want to support me on my mission.
I would love to open this door for all of you who want to support, who want to share and to give. So that we can explore together how this new field looks like, how it moves and how it multiplies to all of those who also deserve support for the changes they are making.
I am ready to receive, to receive the support and freedom
to dedicate my energy completely to create the new
