2022 – Re-focus on “Overcoming spiritual warfare & Living in freedom”
You know we were born free – it is our birth right to live in freedom, it is time we remember that especially in this time of heightened spiritual warfare!
I am starting off 2022 with focusing on paving a practical road to solutions for spiritual impediments, there is absolutely nothing which we cannot overcome with the proper focus!
Are you experiencing extreme or unusual situations, like strange thoughts popping up in your head it could be songs, it could be images of people you haven’t thought about in ages, or perhaps even dreams which seem odd, or even experiencing memory lapses of something someone claims you have done or you have experienced, (sudden unexplained) bad health, (sudden unexplained) series of bad luck, heaviness in your life in general or when you think of doing something productive, are you feeling distracted – finding it hard to focus, or are you feeling disturbed in some way during the daytime and/or the night, are you experiencing down outright hostility, negativity and toxic behavior against you? Or other things which just don’t feel and/or seem right according to your entire system. If you look deep down in your heart and you sense something is off, then trust that something is definitely off!
And if this is the case you could be experiencing one or multiple forms of spiritual attacks, or in others words negative energetic manipulations of your thoughts and/or emotions.
I believe spiritual attacks can be focused on your spirit, mind and body and anyone and everything connected or related to you and if left unattended they can cause a lot of problems. They tend to operate on your mind and try to influence what you perceive and if they succeed they may not only have changed your perception but they might also have changed your belief system (which is linked to your perception) and ultimately who you (think you) are and even worse who you think others are and the world around you, causing you to maybe turn good friends into bitter enemies for no apparent reason.
Unfortunately as far as spiritual warfare is concerned ignorance is definitely not bliss! In these situations what you do not know can definitely hurt you. I wish to share with you a 3-step approach to freeing yourself from bondage to darkness. In this blog I start with the first step, I wish to share a method to break the stronghold of darkness you might be experiencing.
We are equipped with everything we need to live a happy and meaningful life – We are complete – Darkness has no more hold on our spirit, mind and body than that we allow it to have.
*Step 1 – Stand your ground – Break the stronghold on your spirit, mind and body – by severing any claim or bondage made to your spirit and/or mind and/or body (disconnect the darkness from your light) On my path of spiritual development, some years ago a spiritual attack to a relative was revealed to me in a dream, it made me aware of the possibility of the same happening to me in my life and the fact was I did experience it before, but I just didn’t recognize that happened to me. It led me to this prayer to Archangel Michael. I decided to read it not really believing it at first, I was very skeptical, however an amazing thing happened. I suddenly started to feel edgy, nervousness rising in me, the only thing was that it wasn’t me who felt that way, I myself was calm, yet I could sense something besides me was not! How odd is that!? Then I thought ‘What!?’ and I continued on reading, but now loaded with faith and after I finished reading it, I felt release and calm all around. At this time I had no knowledge of the Angels other than they are supposed to exist and I certainly wasn’t aware I could pray to them. Since then I started reading this prayer to Archangel Michael when I experience darkness around me and I started to believe in the angels as divine messengers and guides sent by our heavenly creator to guide us on our journey.

For those who wish to talk about experiencing spiritual warfare and how to deal with it I offer counseling services, if you wish more information feel free to contact me, see also the ‘Contacts’ page.
May Archangel Michael keep you safe at all times!
Stay in your Divine light
There is light and there is darkness, as energy light and darkness dwell both within us as around us.
Everything we do and create is fueled by one or both energies, this happens by our own choice!
When we do & create based on dark energy, we manifest darkness in this life and this dark energy will impact as many life’s as possible and since we are all connected to each other, be it physically (by sharing the same genes) and/or mentally (sharing the same circle) and/or spiritually (by sharing the same Divine spirit), the dark energy we create is bound to us and it will come back to us. In the same way when we do & create based on Divine light, that energy is also bound to us and comes back to us!
It is our interconnectedness which causes us to experience manifested darkness, whether we ourselves manifested darkness or not! I struggled with this part but came to understand how it works and now I struggle with it no more.
From a perspective of light the reason for this would not be the continuation of the manifestation of darkness, but for the reason of discontinuing the darkness and changing it to manifesting light.
To be able to stay in the light to the point that we manifest from it, we need to be able to discern light from darkness from our inside to our outside, so we may choose the light again and again, until we reach the point of being in the light continuously – 100% of the time.
Of the light is, Love, Caring, Compassion, Happiness, Peace, Kindness, Freedom, Cooperation, Health, Building up and much more. Darkness is the opposite of light!
You can use your awareness to discern thoughts and or emotions of darkness and when you are aware of a darkness in yourself, you can separate yourself from the thought(s) and/or emotion(s).
You are not a ‘dark thought’ or a ‘dark feeling’, those are things which need healing.
You are so much more:
-Remember that feeling of real love, that had you floating towards the ceiling?
-Or that wonderful smell that made you feel so well?
-Or when you heard words, for which you were long yearning?
-Or when you spoke to someone’s tears, with words which did not fall on deaf ears?
-Or when you saw one of life’s beautiful wonders, which made you understand, that there is so much more than you comprehend.
Your light and your spirit are one!
There is Power in your light! – So there is Power in you!
There is Strength in you!
There is Courage in you!
There is kindness in you!
There is Endurance in you!
And there is infinitely more in you because you are one of life’s unique miracles!
Remember your light and you will be doing more than alright!
Let this beautiful season of Divine Light & Love capture your heart and show you the way to brighten up each and every day of the rest of your life, as you change every aspect of darkness in your life to Divine light!
Have a Merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year
NEW – ICT-Development Blog post
~The link I am missing between Spiritual Development and ICT-Development, is Humanity.~
Welcome to a new Blog topic, expanding awareness into ICT-Development.
According to one of the definitions of Oxford Languages, “Humanity” = “The quality of being human”. To further clarify, humanity refers to quality’s or states like; “Compassion“, “Brotherly love“, “Fellow feeling“, “Kindness“, “Kind-heartedness“, “Consideration“, “Understanding“, “Sympathy“, “Tolerance“, “Goodness”, “Good-heartedness“, “Compassion“, “Gentleness“, “Leniency“, “Mercy“, “Mercifulness“, “Pity“, “Tenderness“, “Benevolence“, “Charity“, “Generosity“, “Magnanimity“, “Compassion“.
As we continue to further digitalize our world, I believe it is becoming increasingly important to incorporate “Humanity” in ICT-Development, so that we can ensure humanity in the solutions we deliver and the way we work. I believe that if we do not give humanity the space it needs, we run the risk of omitting it, just when we might need it.
I hear people thinking, do we need that? Well, there is so much data scattered here and there, that we even have a digital existence! One made of our data as a result of our interactions with systems from so many organizations.
We do not possess our digital existence, it is so vast and it is out there, nor do we know its current state and whether/ to what extent it is aligned with our physical existence.
So I believe it is imperative that we are able to continue to create solutions which further support the alignment of our digital existence with our physical one, instead of allowing solutions which have the potential to create a rift between the two.
The ICT-Development Blog topics will concern (aspects of) humanity in ICT and is a manner to increase consciousness in ICT, to raise the quality of our solutions the highest level in line with our highest self.
Mantra – Inviting Light, Love & Positivity
According to Oxford Languages a mantra originates in Hinduism and Buddhism and is a word or sound repeated to aid concentration and/or a statement or slogan repeated frequently.
In other words it helps to increase focus. Having focus is important to achieve positive growth in any area of your life.
I am aware of Mantra’s being used in support of our main chakra’s. For instance to chant Ohm, Lam in support of our chakra’s etc. I felt inspired to create my own, Light, Love & Positivity in which the intent IS to call Light, Love and Positivity in my life, especially in a moment where I would need it the most. I felt it worked for me, it lifts my vibrations.
Feel free to drop me a line and let me know whether this mantra works for your or not.

Be Strong, keep the faith and never loose hope!
Who would want to be systemically experiencing injustice on a daily basis?
I want justice and I want clarity and I want resolution! I also would like to share some words with you to uplift you and inspire you to keep moving.
I prayed for clarity and insight into that which others were working real hard on obscuring from me concerning a grave injustice which was done to me and just a couple of days ago it was revealed to me! This is powerful, I had to let it sink in, digest it. I can hardly believe it as others were working so hard to keep it form me.
I thank God and the Divine Universe for answering my prayer! Normally I would just do my thing, but this time I decided to pray and ask for help, for the clarity and insight and I did the work, I did the research, consulted quite some organizations and God did the rest.
The revelations encompassed multiple messages, in the first place I was right, there was a grave injustice done which was being kept from me and it isn’t right and needs to be resolved! It’s possible to receive divine help however it has the most potential to reach us when we do what we can in the situation and align ourselves as much as possible with our life purpose.
God is great and inspiring!
The name of the game is…
The name of the game which is being played is ‘brainwashing’, ‘brainwashing’, ‘brainwashing’ or mind control if you prefer.
Feel free to look it up through a search engine, there is much written about it. I enjoyed reading https://psychologia.co/mind-control-techniques/ amongst other sites.
The most important thing to realize is that brainwashing or mind control techniques operate on the mind.
I have encountered all the techniques mentioned in the website I mentioned above and more, there are other techniques which involve planting of thoughts and emotions directly in your mind. This is one of the reasons why there are others wanting to obtain as much information from and about you as is possible, so that they can use it in a way that it resembles your own thoughts and/or feelings. So now I am aware of this my spirit acts like a police officer stopping shady thoughts and emotions to interrogate them “where did you come from?” and “where are you going? or “what’s your objective?” Hahaha… 🙂 But seriously, I am sharing this detail with you so that you have faith that anyone can deal with this and overcome it if they wish to. Instead of doing nothing and fostering idle hope! You see all these techniques have the potential to mess up our mental perceptions of self and of the outside world and ultimately could result in some people losing their mind.
This is one of the main reasons why it is imperative to embrace your spirit, get to know yourself deep down, expand your awareness of who you are at your core. It is through getting to know your intuitive and highest inner self, where you feel centered and connected with life itself that you will be able to identify things which do not belong in your mind and emotional body and which will make you better equipped to retain your sanity.
I retained my sanity and while I learned a great deal about myself, there is also still a great deal more for me to learn! You see that version of our self is not of the mind, it is of the spirit and it is the only part of our self which has the clarity and insight needed to challenge our mind when it has been infiltrated in this manner.
Divine light is diminishing in the world –Turn up your light!
There are many souls terminating their journey here on earth of which I have faith many will return to Divine light and not all are Covid-19 related.
But this also led me to become aware of Divine light in the process of being diminished in the world.
Why is being aware of this of importance? Well because it also entails that negativity, given enough space leads to darkness and in the end darkness only leads to (our individual and collective) demise.
The way to deal with allowing yourself to choose to be positive is to be conscious. You can expand your consciousness over a situation by focusing on what is going on, without giving it any thought. Just simply observing with your senses. This slowing down of an event gives you the opportunity to take in the entire event and separate it from what it does to you (something which you can then also observe), you then have the ‘space’ to (if you are sensitive to your intuition) follow your intuitive guidance or be guided from a more mental oriented state to ‘think’ of your best positive response.
By the way with ‘response’ I don’t necessarily mean an external response, it could also be a positive thought or feeling. Or even the absence of response, which I consider to also be a response to a situation, could be the positivity which the situation needs.
Let me tell you a story of one of the experiences I had. When I was around 19 years old I took a break from studying and found a job. I worked with two other ladies who were my direct colleagues, I was the youngest at that time. The other colleague was 25 and the eldest was over the 50, if I remember it well.
These two women were to train me in my work. What I was to find out was that they had a quarrel with each other and they would use me to hurt each other, by giving me faulty assignments to mess up each others work, which would then also mess me up. You can imagine that this was not a work situation which I considered pleasant a tall. This was bully behavior and it came to a point where I started to resent working there, at the worst point where I felt the negative stress of returning to work on a daily basis I felt I just had two choices, either it would break me or something had to change and I felt that if I followed that feeling I would not be able to continue working there.
So, the first decision I came to was that I had nothing to do with that situation and I was not going to let that break me! So I had made my choice. I explored how I felt and what I needed, I acknowledged my feelings fully consciously but also acknowledged that I needed to earn my salary to pay for my apartment, so I could not leave instantly but something needed to change. This clarity came after acknowledging the emotions and consciously choosing not to indulge in them, to shift my focus from how I felt to only perform the job I was hired to do at work to be able to continue to work there. This focus in turn gave me a form of peace or maybe a better word would be acceptance which allowed me to continue, while ignoring being played around and that in turn gave me strength and space I needed to figure out what next.
And I found ‘what next’, after I had exhausted of changing something in the workplace, I decided that since there was nothing to be done on that end I would have to leave, I did not like the bullying going on and I was not planning on staying on long enough to adopt that kind of behavior to bully anyone at the workplace or any other place. So I then focused on leaving and I found out I desperately wanted to go back to college, find the right ICT study, educate myself further and get my degree. After I found the right college and had arranged for the student loan, I handed in my resignation.
I have to give thanks to this challenging situation because it was for that reason that I was super motivated to search and find the ICT college which had a curriculum I resonated with 100% and I graduated with wonderful grades!
And let me add one more thing which made me super happy and proud, I worked hard to earn my degree and applied for a job and found a job and paid back every last cent on my student loan.
Do not let anybody steal your thunder – Every time you decide to stay in positivity, you increase your light and potentially also that of others. So turn up your light by choosing positivity over negativity, as often as you can!
Lesson learned – Experience: In order to counter darkness you need to see it
I was triggered by a post on FB focused on repentance, things we repent, we were sorry we did them and it was yesterday that I was contemplating something I did because I did not (wish to) see the entire truth and that was exactly the lesson God had for me. Let me tell you a story about helping others.
I was wrong to help my sister, but not her son!
I also know why. In the past I was a person who saw only the light in people. I resonated to and with the good in others and in turn it made them resonate with my vibrational level, elevating them from their relative vibrational level.
That is why when my sister showed up with her son at my door one day asking for help, I did not see the darkness which had grown in her as a result of the life she lived caused by her focus on lack, which actually had led her to neglect her son, causing him to develop odd behavior. Even when he showed us some of that behavior when we would watch over him while his mother spent an entire day at the church when he was 3/4 y.o. and when his mother would come back from the church after being away from him from 09:00/10:00 AM until around 18:00 hours, he would run away from her and crouch in a corner as he hugged himself crying. Because I believed she loved him dearly and I could not see the darkness.
I knew he had experienced a lot, bullying etc. but then I could not see what it was related to.
Then years after, one of the weekends he spent at my house, he broke down in tears, he did not want to go back to his Mom and a flood of horrible stories came out of his mouth about there being no food to eat, going to school with an empty stomach and more, while I amongst others, supported them with funds and food! So where were the money and food going if not to them!? What was she doing with them? I made the mistake again, to not (want?) to see how grave the situation was which allowed him to come to us and break down in tears. I thought about what to do, I could not deny his request to stay, because whom will he turn to, so I decided I would bring him back and explain the situation to her and discuss him staying with us and I believed it would work out. Well it did not! She was livid the moment she heard what he had said, she became violent, started screaming, hit me full in the face then bit me and it is by the grace of the people who saw it happen and interfered that they managed to make her stop the assault. I left and my nephew came with me, we were in a state of shock.
I knew that if I had brought the child to the police in the state of distress he was at my house, they would not only have removed the child from her care but they might have placed her in jail for neglecting her child. Even after she had bitten my hand, in the shock and the pain, I decided not to go to the police, because the situation would be perceived as an assault (which it was) but not intentionally, which would be another cause for her to be jailed falsely, which I do not believe to be justified.
The dream
I had a dream. It was about my family, we were in one of those ski lifts and it was moving through dark and then light and suddenly my eyes fell upon a little odd being, wearing a hat and I instantly new it didn’t belong there. As soon as I realized that, the being launched out to attack, bite my nephew, in the dream he would have been about 4 y.o. I instantly reacted by extending my arm before the child. I closed my eyes because I expected the bite to hurt, then I opened my eyes and I saw the being making bite movements on my arm, but it had no teeth so it did not hurt me.
I woke up and felt fear, which then turned to anger and I thought I am going to fall back asleep and if I see it again I will kill it and a weapon appeared in my minds eye. Well now, I fell asleep and rose feeling wonderful and rested, just as if I went to heaven and slept like a baby in the clouds.
I thought it was just a dream, months later at work while talking about ghost stories, I told my dream and a colleague knew to tell me by the description that the being was real, he told me the name it goes by and how there are people who use it to spread darkness!
I started to understand it was more than just a dream. I had shielded my nephew from an attack from darkness and I believe it was meant to happen, moreover the fact that the being of darkness which was sent could not bite me indicated to me it was my purpose to shield him.
The entire experience with darkness made me stronger, gave me more clarity and insight. It is like if God wants me to see beyond, more than the light, to see all that is. The Danger comes not from the light but from the darkness lurking behind the light, manipulating what is.
In order to counter it and its effects you need to see it first!
I believe God wants me to help others, but not by covering up for darkness and pretending nothing is wrong so that darkness can continue, but by motivating others to have the courage to self reflect, become aware of what is wrong which involves you and have the courage to look deeper to your own contribution to the situation to be able to identify that what you need to change within yourself.
This is the lesson I have learnt!
Raising your energetic level

There are truly some dark times which have come upon us, which have the potential to lower our energy level and if it stays low for a long time the lower level can latch on to us and do us more harm than good.
Fortunately for us we can do something about how we feel, there is a technique which is referenced as “raising vibrations”, which entails engaging yourself which leads to positivity, sometimes we forgot the things which lead us to positivity and allow us to uplift our energetic level to increase positive thoughts, feelings and actions. (source: see also https://naturalhealer.com.au and https://theawakenedstate.net/the-divine-creator-crafting-the-new-identity/you-are-a-universe-hands/)
I believe a learning experience for me consists of being aware of something, gaining knowledge about it, experimenting or trying it out (and evaluating the results) and subsequently to understand it. And I believe we are here to experience, experience and experience and then some more.
Anyway I live in an environment where positivity seems to be challenged continuously and it is very hard for me to get used to or accept it because the fact that positivity and happiness are being challenged, is almost alien to me, it is the opposite of the way I live or even would want to live. So I had to revert to the higher level of Divine Universal purpose to make sense of this and from that perspective I had to come to terms that this has to be part of the Divine Universal purpose and from that part touch my higher purpose.
So I refocused on myself again and my own purpose which is coming through and thought let me start writing down positive things, lets see if I can intentionally increase substantially raise my vibrations.
And you know what I started the list and as I wrote one thing after the other, the ones which I myself actually experienced, brought back wonderful memories and made me smile and it raised my energetic level!
That is how easy it could be! Does anyone have more to add? I may have forgotten some or not be aware of others which increase your energetic level and in essence makes you feel happy!
I hope you truly enjoy recalling based on this list and feel free to return more for me to add!
