Relationship Status:: Single

My personal story:: 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 eachother 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.

My website is under constant happy construction. It will undergo many transformations to come, but already it can give an impression of the solutions, that might be helpful during this process of needed world-transformation.

The sting of all problems between Israeli and Palestinians lays in the Old City of Jerusalem. Her status has to be solved in such a way, that all parties fighting for control over her can agree upon.

On June 24, the ‘Big Hug’ will be hold in Jerusalem. Light workers from Israel, Palestine and from all over the world, ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’, will come together to bring warmth and energy to this city, embracing holding hands the Old City. If we bundle all our positive energies and bring these to Jerusalem, we can create peace to this exceptional place.

We are organizing the Big Hug to make the people aware –especially the Israeli and Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem- that there is a very shaped perspective for the city of Jerusalem as a city of peace: a new, undivided Jerusalem, as the capital of Palestine, Israel and at large.

Let go of the conflict concerning her command and dedicate the city to the Omnipresent. The Old City as a whole is His Temple. To give the walled Old City free to God, as a "Status Apart”, as an independent city, will be the most feasible way to come out the current impasse.

The Old City of Jerusalem must become an open city; a House of Prayer for all the Peoples. This perspective is written down in the Holy Books, this is the perspective we, as ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’ embrace as well as solution. But how many people does already notice this hopeful point of view?

What I saw in Jerusalem and also everywhere else where I meet Islamic and Jewish people is, that not so many persons really think about a future for Jerusalem. Most of the time, they stick with old ideas that the Old City of Jerusalem will always remain a part of Israel, or in opposite, that it will be absolutely a part of a new Palestinian state, as stolen land that has to be given back. With these visions, a future Jerusalem will be a divided city with an East Palestinian and West Israeli part, with barbed wire and checkpoints in between, like the situation of the city from 1948-1967. Or, coming closer to an agreement, people suggest -like proposed in the “Geneva Accord” in 2003- to make a complicated dividing of the Old City in a Israeli and Palestinian part. That will mean that the small alleys will be split by walls and barriers too. The idea that a future Jerusalem will become a divided city, is something that we have to prevent.

There are living about 250.000 Palestinian and 500.000 Israeli rather close together in one city. Do they want to make a separation of Jerusalem in parts or do they choose, deep in their hearts, for unity? So my best friends, it is our task to inform the whole city that there is an alternative for the Jerusalem of today.

All lovers of a united Jerusalem will come together to encircle and embrace the Old City of Jerusalem with love and devotion. We have to encourage all inhabitants of Jerusalem to join the coming Big Hug, with the idea of a New Jerusalem that might be realized with their support.
