- About Me:
- I was born in Jakarta, at that moment still called Batavia. Indonesia was fighting there a bitter struggle to become independent. I am from multiracial background and I am sure that that will bring mixed feelings with some folks. At least it was for my self-confidence from childhood a problem. My mother was a very broadminded person, just like my father. They learned to know each other during that turmoiled period. My father had come there as a soldier, but stayed there because he liked the country and the people very much. But when the ethnic cleansing of Sukarno started, all the racial not pure inhabitants and foreigners had to leave forcefully. So, when my parents found one day their house totally upside down and my nanny dead, because she served 'foreigners', they left for The Netherlands and when I was three months old I 'set foot on wall' in my father's homeland. No one ever though in that time that it might have had a significant impression on my retina( I do not know the English expression) and no one ever thought that this might be one of the main causes for my oversensitivity for disharmony, violence, injustice and all the wars that entered my awareness by the media.
Above that my parents were both victims of war. My father had PTSS, in my youth ban unknown phenomenon, like many other fathers in that time and my mother had been physically injured by the Kempetai ( Japanese Secret Police during WW II) and as a prisoner of war four four years. She was one of the first people of the resistance who was betrayed.
I have seen what war does to people and what it means for the second generation and even third. I have experienced everything myself and I know how every act of violence can not be objectively coming to terms , when you read or hear about-, or see violence.
I have raised three children and tried to leave as much as possible the problems behind, but often I am very distracted by all the information and impressions you hear and read. I am very oversensitive and when I did not read or hear it with my outer senses, I fell it inside. So I could not separate myself from the despair and confusion. Then I learned to meditate in 1977 and was able to take distance now and then. It was helpful so much, that my husband thought it very strange. He claimed to be atheist. I lost my children when I decided to become a TM-teacher and had to fight back four four years (1981 -1985). I am very happy that this Age of Aquarius has come and that other values are making entrance. I am very sure, due to what I learned and experience on spiritual level that humanity can transform our Planet in a better place.
There are enough teachers and Masters from various backgrounds globally active by showing us how to make the shift in our thinking, acting and being. We have to be the change, did Gandhi say. And that is true. Only those who can live Peace have the obligation towards mankind to show,how it feels, how it looks like, because there can be very much misconceptions about what peace may look like. This often is the cause of another war.
I do hope that we can open the eyes ears, hearts and minds of those who need it so much.

Send Thy peace O Lord.
Prayer for Peace on Earth
Send Thy peace O Lord, which is
perfect and everlasting,
that our souls may radiate peace.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may think, act and speak harmoniously.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may be contented and thankful for
Thy bountiful gifts.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that amidst
our worldly strife, we may enjoy Thy bliss.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that we
may endure all, tolerate all, in the thought of
Thy grace and mercy.
Send Thy peace O Lord, that our lives
may become a Divine vision and in Thy light,
all darkness may vanish.
Send Thy peace O Lord, our Father and Mother,
that we Thy children on Earth may all
unite in one family.
- Hazrat Inayat Khan
On the Internet I met Jane Maluka. She is doing a lot for the children in Afrika I asked her to join us, but she is too busy with her activities. But I promised her to add a banner of her my site. Sometimes people who are directly involved with the consequences or the results of war do not even have the time to think or discuss with others who have the luxury to discuss about how they should act. I have met several of them during my life and I love and respect them with all my heart.
I will add some of them here on a soothing place.

For you all, brave children to endure these harsh times
a poem from Rabindranath Tagore:
Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child,
unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence.
They are cruel in their greed and their envy,
their words are like hidden knives thirsting for blood.
Go and stand amidst their scowling hearts, my child,
and let your gentle eyes fall upon them like the
forgiving peace of the evening over the strife of the day.
Let them see your face, my child, and thus know the
meaning of all things, let them love you and love each other.
Come and take your seat in the bosom of the limitless, my child.
At sunrise open and raise your heart like a blossoming flower,
and at sunset bend your head and in silence
complete the worship of the day.

Dutch Film about liberating Young Refugees. Watch the film and see what happens!
you can do something against it.
This is an example:
Within the Netherlands there are ten locations where refugees and migrants are in detension.
These refugees had not commit any crime but they are "illegal".
Within this film AMA's, "Alleenstaande Minderjarige Asielzoekers" international: Single Young Refugees (Children) are in the picture.
The Dutch gouvernement is very foggy if it goes about the fate of those people..
Often if they are out of legal proceedings, they… Continue

Prof. Norman Finkelstein
In my opinion prof Finkelstein is totally right.
As long as the public opinion is loyal to those who carefully planned every war and every peace, every genocide and every revolution. As long as consciousness is rocked to sleep by justified wars and tears-mongering memorials, people who really suffred during every war and suppression are silenced.
I found a video of the genocide that took place in Canada and that shows again that the same group, who planned the misery in the w… Continue

Peace Journalism
WHAT IS PEACE JOURNALISM?
Jake Lynch
Peace journalism is when editors and reporters make choices – about what to report, and how to report it – that create opportunities for society at large to consider and to value non-violent responses to conflict.
If readers and audiences are furnished with such opportunities, but still decide they prefer war to peace, there is nothing more journalism can do about it, while remaining journal
