They did this out of gradutute for there little sister who was his mom. He had also a little baby sister both they were growing up. The boy was searching for the awnser who is G.O.D. where does he live and did he born like us.

His Grandmother told him many stories about who G.O.D. was but he was not allowed to talk about it. The boy thought it was strange not to talk about this. Why is it a secret? They couldn’t awnser that question.

The boy loved to go to school, many people were bully him a lot. So when he learned the art of martial arts he fought back. Also the fight was began towards his journey of life.

He didn’t like people who where not nice to each other. He always wanted justice for those who were not so strong. One day he came up for a girl who was beaten up by her brother. The girl was scared. The boy seen that the brother wanted to hurt her again on the school yard so he beated up the much older guy.

When he came to the age of 18th he left school and joined the Dutch Royal Airforce what was a big change in his life. Many obstacles came to on his path. Booze, party and women was the biggest obstacle for him. The boy had never expierence this before and was cheated and seduced to the illusion of sin.

After the Airforce he met a girl who was related to his mom’s cousin. They felt in love and he became the families loved one. They took good care for him and had lot of love for him. The girl didn’t like him to much but her parrents did. He went with the farther of that girl who he called Unlce to many movie fairs. When he went to london on one day his journey was about to begin.


The Mysterious Girl








June 7th 2003, London, The boy and his uncle were on there way to London. Early in the morning around 9am they came in Camden Town. It was a little hall more like a old dance club. Many people where there. The boy couldn’t believe his eyes so many movies his dream came true. That is what he was thinking.

His uncle told him that the boy should look around and would come back with some coffee. So the boy did that. He went out side, everything was much bigger than Holland. So many people he couldn’t imagine how many there were.

Suddenly a girl stopped him over and asked him if he would like a book about Yoga and meditation. He said yes he would love to but he didn’t had any money to give her. She said that that wouldn’t mind. So he gave her some coins. Than he went to buy some coffee. In the mean while he was thinking about this mysterious girl. She had something that he couldn’t describe. So he went back and she was still there they talked more about the meditation and the girl introduced him to some beats where to meditate with. He became very interesting. He understood everything what she was telling but could not say so much back because her English was so different than his. She asked him if he could come over to the temple. But he said that he wasn’t from around here and had to go back to Holland the same day. The girl told him that was so amazing because her spiritual master who they called Guru would come to Holland. The boy gave his phone number and returned to his uncle who was very upset because it was time to leave. They would miss the train to France because of the traffic.

They hurried and there was no traffic at all they came even 1 hour earlier.

It was very strange how thinks went on from that time on. The girl called the boy many times but because he was so busy with everything she couldn’t reach him. On a Sunday she called again and asked the boy if he could come to see her and she would introduce him to her spiritual master.

The next day after work he drove to this place where she would be.


THE 1ST DAY OF THE BEGINNING




June 9th 2003, the boy was back in Holland and was thinking everyday on what that girl gave him. He tried to remember the mantra what she spoke but he couldn’t remember. He looked at the book but could not understand what it said. So after his work he drove up to the place where the festival was. There were men with balled heads and a funny pony tail. Women in long skirts he never seen before.
The people where chanting that mantra he couldn’t remember and they sounded like……bees. They were all smiling and very friendly it was like they were not from this planet. The boy was asking around of people had seen a girl from England. But almost nobody knew who or where she was. Than suddenly one man told that he found her. The boy was very happy to hear that. The boy went into the building where she would be. One head came around the corner from a small girl giggling. There she came, she wasn’t alone she was with a friend. She introduced the boy to her friend. She told the boy he came to late that her Spiritual Master already gave a class and the class was over. The two girls walked with him to a dinning room. Were a nice buffet was made with vegetarian food. The boy didn’t like so much salad and greens but he took anything what was giving to him. They sad on a table and ate something. The girl had seen that the boy couldn’t eat so much so she told him it was ok if he couldn’t eat everything. She said that it was a normal thing because the food what they had was first offered to Krishna, so it became spiritualized. The boy could almost not believe what he all heard but also he could make some sense out of it. The Girl told him to wait because she would call someone over who knew more about this mysterious so called religion. The other girl sad with him on the table and the boy asked her if she lived with this girl together in a temple. The girls said she didn’t but maybe one day she would. A tall boy came over in a different color I never seen before. It was bit pinkish. The tall boy told the boy that he was very lucky to be here and not everyone would have come. He told that these girls were very special and that the boy should be very lucky to be in there presents. He stood up and left. The girl told the boy if he could come the next day only bit earlier so he could see the Guru. The boy promised her that he would try to come back. The two girls walked him to his car the girl told him that he has to come tomorrow. The boy looked the girl in the eyes and nodded his head. He stepped in his car and drove back to his Uncles place.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD



June 10th 2003, the boy was at his work and was thinking on what the girl told him and those people they were so different but also very nice. He walked up to his boss and told his boss that he had to go to the dentist at 1 o’clock. His boss came bit upset and told him why he not could that say earlier. The boy began to cry while he explained that his mother died last week and that his mind is very disturbed by this so he totally forgot about it. His boss told to him to calm down and said for this time that it was ok. The boy smiled with in him and went on with what he supposes to do…working. As soon the clock hits one o’clock the boy was running out of the building jumped in his car and drove up to that place where it all happened.
He found the girl pretty quick and she was very happy to see him. She told him that she made an appointment with someone very special someone who knows about everything. The boy asked if he could ask that person anything. The girl nodded and said that he could say really everything what his heart wanted to say. In the mean while they walked around and came to a book stand. The girl showed the boy a book called the Bhagavat Gita. She said this was the main book and the first book to learn who Krishna is. She showed me a picture of a man who was eating meat and a tiger who was eating meat. She said to the boy do you eat meat. The boy told her he did. She asked the boy can you stop to eat meat. The boy said yes. Than she explained that the man in the book ate so much meat so that he got in his next birth a body of a tiger. She asked the boy do you want to be a Tiger. The boy shakes his head and told her that he did not want that. The boy told her did you ever seen Krishna. The girl said that she has seen Krishna in India and that she goes there every year. Also she explained that the statue they worshiped called a deity and that it was non-different than Krishna him self. She told that she seen the deity in India and the deity winked at her. The boy was so amazed and he told her that he wanted to go there too. The girl laughed and told that it was time to go to see the Oracle. They walked over a bridge. There was a young lady in front of the door she looked at the boy but didn’t say anything. He walked trough the door and the lady leaded the way where the Oracle would be. She said to the boy that he should enter first. The boy was a bit shy and did not know what to say. The Oracle said: ‘Is that him?’ The lady nodded her head and told the Oracle that the boy was very interested but didn’t understand very good English. The Oracle smiled and said: ‘He understands everything, this boy is very intelligent, also he has a weak for the hearth of fainted.’ The Oracle told what the boy wanted to ask her and that this was the time and place that he could do that. The boy told that his mother died a week ago and if everything was ok with her. The Oracle told him that he was on the right place and on the right time if he would follow this path he would liberated 1000 families from his past life so she said that his mother had to be happy to have a son like him. He asked the Oracle if he followed this path could he fall from it. The Oracle told that an edge of a blade is very thin if you move left or right you would fall off. But if you walked all the way straight you would come to that point were the end would be. The boy understood everything what the Oracle told him. The lady told the boy that it was time to see the Guru. So he said good bye to the Oracle and she told him that they would meet soon again.
They walked trough the hall to the door to get outside. There was the young lady still sitting there she told the boy: ‘Welcome to the Real World.’ The friend of the boy told the young lady that she met him in London and that he spoke with the Oracle. The young lady told that the boy was very lucky. He probably picked up his life were he left off from his past life. The boy didn’t understand what that was all about but he just nodded his head if he would agree with it. The boy and his friend went to a hall were the Guru would come. The girl told the boy to sit on the side where the men sat that was the tradition. She gave him a song book. He opens the song book and could not read what it said it was a weird language. Everyone was standing up suddenly and singing some mantra’s in a melodious way. Very nice with up beat. Who was that who came into the big hall? That was him who the girl talked about was this……..The Guru?
