16 Centenary Theme 2 Leap into the Light of the Future Part Two: Create a Flame out of a Spark Wies Kuiper, on behalf of the Preparation Committee of the Centenary Part One of the Centenary Theme ‘ Leap into the Light of the Future ’ contained the impressions on Awakening and Moving . This article was originally published in the winter edition of Reflectie, in Dutch. Part Two contains the impressions on Intensifying and Transforming , thereby completing the parts of the Centenary Theme . The Dutch version of this same article is printed in this very edition of Reflectie . Therefore you will find another article with exactly the same images and design elements as this one. That is correct, it is the translation. Intensifying •How to escape our superficial existence •Open up to what is there •If you look for it, you will not find it •Open yourself to the softness of Love •Entering yourself •Know Thyself •Go into the darkness •To dig •To bury •To root •Psalm 130: ‘ Out of the depths I cry to you on high ’ •From the unknowing to knowledge •Surrender •From restlessness to inner peace and stillness •Attention and awareness in all your doings •To be aware of the Divine in the human being •Concentration •Meditation and prayer •To search within •Dare to dream •Sunset •Go to the inner source •To connect and anchor in yourself •Listen to your inner voice •To develop •To be aware of a deeper level within yourself •It’s about the process we all will go through •Gaining insight •Go to the essence of what moves you •To live through all your shadows •Incarnate •Personal problems can lead to new visions •Enrichment •There should always be a desire to ‘ Touch His feet ’ •Your own Temple is the United Temple •As a spiritual person one should also have moments of ‘nothingness’ just to be inspired. •To feel height en depth Transforming •From caterpillar to butterfly •The way back •A process •To let go •To reach a new level •You do not change, you are changed •Endlessness •You have to work hard in life on earth •Growth leads to new awakening, but also to insecurity •A new start •Pain •Pregnancy •Future •After the awakening of the source within yourself you will start searching •Curiosity •A higher level of consciousness •From a spark into a flame •Bubbling •Knowledge of the heart •Friction, rubbing, getting to a higher level •Another dimension •To escape, a different level of consciousness •From the materialism to cosmic unity •It goes gradually, without perceiving it, but when you look back you can see it •To feel into the deepness so another world will be disclosed within yourself, going back into the world you will radiate this •To go beyond the form •Even after becoming aware of a higher existence we stay focused on the life down here, for this is where we live and where we learn •Everything stays the same but it is seen from another perspective and that is why all is different •You’ve never seen it like this before: ‘ As it was, is now and ever shall be ’. It is about a change in consciousness and that is transforming. On Intensifying and Transforming we found that a lot of peo- ple responded to these twowords in small sentences, rather than one word. Which is understandable, since one cannot so easily express these impressions inmerely one word.
