Acceptance opens the door to awareness. You cannot get clarity of what you cannot accept. Acceptance transcends the distortions of fear and desire.
Concerning change
In the Teacher Training, Jeru gave us a valuable set of sentences as a guidance for our teaching. It has four sections with 5 to 9 sentences per section. The last section struck me the most. Maybe because it was the hardest for me! It's called 'Concerning changing people'. The last sentence is:
Approach a group or a person like this: I am not here to change you. I am not here to teach you anything. I am here to accept you as you are. I am also here to help you see you as you are. If, after seeing yourself, change should happen, I will also accept that.
Wanting it for others
What made it so hard, is that I myself had experienced so many positive changes in my life with practicing the Clarity Process! How could I not want that for others!
But as much as this comes from a good heart, and there is nothing wrong with that, the desire for people to change is blocking the naturalness of the teaching. You cannot truly be aware of what someone needs (in the teaching) if desire, and the fear that travels in its shadow, is clouding your vision.
It took me several years to truly understand the depth of these sentences. And how it intertwined with how Jeru structured his process. Over the years it became more and more the heart of my teaching. And I am still learning!
Taking it as a general attitude towards yourself
For the upcoming Online Winter Retreat, I would like to put it in the spotlight, taking it as a general attitude towards ourselves. Just like we did in the Online Retreat this summer. It was a deep and profound experience.
As it was in Dutch, I decided to do one in English as well, to make it available to all my students and friends. The time between Christmas and New Year seemed the most fitting for it. A beautiful hinge between the old and the new year. I hope you will join us!
Below an excerpt from the Online Retreat in August. It might give you an idea of the vibe of the retreat. The retreat is open to all who have done the Inner Core, are currently in it or planning to start one. Most important is that you are using the tools of step 1, 2 & 3 regularly on your own in daily life.
Be open to your worry machine

October 17 and November 28 are our last two live stream QLB's. As the interest is declining, my feeling is that it has had its function. We can now come together in person again to do the QLB!
So why not invite your friends and fellow Clarity travelers to come over and do the live stream together! If you pay me the 20 euro, and ask the others to contribute a sum to their ability, you can buy a cake from it and send any left overs through the donation page.
You might have heard that I will stop my business when I'm 65. Giving the workshops plus organizing everything is fun, but also a hand full. To give space for a new life phase (became grandmother this summer!), I will quit Tsuki in the spring of 2023, being open for new adventures. I will organize one more Clarity Process Week in English, March 12 till 20 in Bergheim, Sauerland.
