The Animus of Identity: Shame

What are you?

Who are you?

What is it that makes you, you?

Why are you?

Explore with me as I use my own experiences, along with those of others I have met along my journey, the concept of identity, and how your trauma and circumstances can shape the person you become.

The Discovery of Spiritual Chivalry

Futuwwa has been an Islamic term for ‘spiritual chivalry’ for centuries. In Christianity, chivalry has been seen more in ‘behavioral codes’ which many believe are declining. Yet Christ dying for humankind’s sins on the cross – at the heart of Christianity – is the ultimate act of spiritual chivalry.

Dr. Greene unveils the arduous journey to noble spiritedness for persons of all faiths, ages, genders, ethnicities, and social backgrounds. Blending theological and social scientific perspectives, he has assembled a ‘field guide’ for such journeys. Dr Greene addresses spirit, soul and ego differences, healing and transcendence of traumas, transformations of shadows, true selves vs false selves, and pitfalls common to modern societies. Trails blazed by this book can be of immense assistance to those wishing to heal, recover, change, or grow towards noble spiritedness.

The Human Whisperer

Our world, like us, is constantly changing and evolving which is a good thing. Although, I feel that as our world gets more complicated with the use of all this artificial intelligence or smartphones, computers and other devices, we may lose who we really are. I am all for looking ahead and not looking back, however, there are certainly good notions to looking back which will help us settle better in the present. That is through remembering who we are, where we came from and having that good old-fashioned common sense that we seem to have lost along the way. This book is going to remind you that there is so much more to us than you think. Science is discovering new things about us all the time; how we think, interact and how we make sense of our world. The ancient civilisations knew this thousands of years ago and were already aware of a lot of the things that science is now unearthing. We are part of, and also connected to the world around us, both physically and mentally and the thoughts and decisions we make have a direct influence not only on us but also on the planet we call home. What I would like to do with this book is bring some of this ancient knowledge back into the foreground and with the help of some ideas from science, show you that if we work along with nature, we truly are capable of anything.

The Labyrinth: Rewiring the Nodes in the Maze of Your Mind (Rewired Edition)

For thousands of years, the labyrinth has been a symbol for wholeness, which can only be experienced when we live from our centre. As we develop in this world, society’s limiting beliefs hijack our perception, cocooning themselves around our essence; thus, we lose touch with our timeless self.

Fear-based beliefs compartmentalise our energy. They convince us that we’re an isolated fragment instead of one with collective consciousness—if you ever feel this way, then this book is for you!

The integration of fear-based emotions leads you back to your wholeness of being, which never left you. In this book, you’ll learn how to reconnect to your inner self and create the life you truly desire.

Only our beliefs separate us—whether religious, political, along with others—individually and collectively, Humanity must dissolve these limiting mindsets so we can live peacefully to embrace all life, on Gaia and beyond!

So, take my hand as I guide you through the maze of your old self, back to your inner self, where the illusions of the past have no more power over you.

Get ready to embrace your innate perfection.

The Menopause – A Passing Visit

There is something that all women go through at some point. It is inevitable and spares no one. And the process is overwhelming. Yet, it is hardly talked about, even among closest friends. The result is that every woman has to find things out on her own and then realise that every woman she knew has been going through the same thing.

The Menopause - A Passing Visit recounts what happens when a woman reaches the end of her reproductive years.

The Official Skiver's Handbook

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to get away with doing very little productive work on a daily basis, often to the frustration and annoyance of their colleagues?Some of these people are just lazy, and you would expect that a good manager will deal with their performance issues sooner rather than later. Some of them are just in a job that they clearly don’t like, aren’t suited to or can’t wait to leave. These people usually don’t stick around for very long before leaving and moving on to another job.The other type of person is a skiver. A skiver will use all of their experience, skill and knowledge to find ways to do as little work as they can get away with, often while appearing to be a productive and popular member of the team.This book is for you if you want to learn how to become one.

The Rainbow Portal of Beliefs

Dear Reader, how do you feel about your life? Is it fulfilling and meaningful? Or do you feel that something is missing? During my life journey, I realised that each of us has a mission or a call, which we often tend to be more or less conscious about. And when we succeed in finding it, we become highly motivated to realise it as it provides us with our deepest longings. The call goes far beyond what you can experience through your normal senses and beyond what natural science can explain. Essential human topics like faith, hope and love belong to different concepts, which cannot be proved but only experienced. Furthermore, you will discover that if you identify your call and live it out accordingly, you will experience the most fulfilling and meaningful life. Even better, you become the best version of yourself. As a bonus, you will have an apparent reference whenever you need to make choices that have a far-reaching impact on your life. This book provides you with different perspectives and tools that can encourage you to become the driver in your life. As an aspiration, we follow the complete lifecycle of a person named Senius, who realised during his journey of why be satisfied with less, and learn about all his considerations to find and realise his call. The symbols below illustrate Senius’ call. May you find inspiration to develop your potential for an enriching life that will make you shine like a lighthouse and as an exemplary citizen of the global community. With these wishes, I send you my regards in the name of love and wisdom, Søren Krause.

There is a Light

Abandoned

Orphaned

Manipulated

Gay

It was no wonder that I became rebellious and resentful. Standing up to all these pressures in my life and faced with my grandmother’s mortality, I reverted to the frightened child I thought I had left behind. I was overcome with anxiety and panic attacks; that paralysed me to the point of contemplating suicide.

The years of abandonment and feelings of futility following my childhood institutionalisation and the early death of my mother from a lifelong illness, manifested themselves in highly emotional and physical ways that made it impossible for me to function in society – so I withdrew.

From within this debilitating experience, I had to find a way through by obtaining the professional help I needed. This is my story of tenacity to live my life with the freedom to make my own decisions.

To Make a Better Future: What Must We Do?

Do you want us to live better than we do now?

Do you want to help make a better future for generations to come?

If your answer is yes to both questions, this book is for you.

What can we do to live more convivially and sustainably?

You’ll find here questions, anecdotes, references to films, radio, internet media, literature, and research from a range of academic disciplines and areas of activity. This is about how we lead our daily lives at play, study, and work. It is about learning, resilience, trust, equality, decision-making, cooperation, and leadership.

To Theo. Kaikaku

Imagine the first day in your life. Probably the most crucial day in your life. You became a human. You competed with around 20 to 300 million other sperm cells. No contest in your human life will beat that. Now you are cruising. You are almost sailing alone on a quiet ocean. Do not let the few other sailboats disturb you too much. They are only here to help you. Just be yourself and kind to them, you are in this race (read: life) together.

A city like Venice is a symbol of how fragile our planet is and if we abuse one place with over-consumption, it will get worn down. It is a warning here to us to protect old historical places on Earth and to be conscious about how we treat our planet. Venice is surely one of the places on this planet, which needed a crisis like Corona in order to rest from tourists and over-consumption.

Please don’t talk too much to me or your teachers. We need you, your medicine, your new eyes and your thoughts. We don’t need you to copy me or most of my generation. I know you are built for more. Just be you and do something. Get out there, raise your hand, and tell your peers what you think we need to change.
