Donations

Why is all donation basis?

Not everything on this website is donation-based. However, everything, that effects the work of Abuna Semai and Laura – every workshop, accompaniment or online information that is presented from us. Everything. But not everything from other sources, such as the speeches & workshops of other speakers are fee based, yet very inexpensive.

So, the accurate question is:

Why is everything from you on donation basis?

The first and most important answer is: Because it came intuitively :).
On the 01/11/2015, I was meditating for ten days on a Vipassana-Course, like I am doing three times a year, that time in Sri Lanka. During that time, I was undertaking a Breatharianism week, so I was just consuming water (no, that is not the same as fasting). Approximately on the fourth day, a change of the meditation occurred from the Self, which I call “Godman Meditation” or short “The Plug”. (Attention, not “Gottman Rising”, which is the deepening of it.) In six days, I resolved more energetic blockades as summarized in barely 20 courses.
Furthermore, I was exploring how yogis were able to meditate for hours without any movement. After this was given to me, the inspiration came parallel, that from now on I should teach Sunmeditation purely on a donation basis to make this possible for all who ask for it. In the beginning I found this idea crazy and thought to myself, if I actually implement it, nobody will come to the workshop anymore, and if only strange people come and that won’t be enough at all to survive physically in the current system, blablabla :D. However: if one can once distinguish intuition from ego impulses, trust is greater than doubt. And so, I set the decision to follow the intuition with the certainty at that time that there would no longer be a Sunmeditation workshop. I didn’t tell anyone about it at first to let it work on me – and was not a little surprised that during my return flight from Sri Lanka, there was an email in my mailbox from someone who wanted to organize a Sunmeditation workshop for me! In 16 years of seminar activity this had never happened before. Such “coincidences” clearly show that it only took one Ok, so that what had long been prepared energetically, could take shape. Little by little the “Power of Free Will” workshop was added, the annual Tenerife accompaniment and the two-months course “Gottman Life”, whereby the organization costs for the last two are divided among all participants, because the contents are purely on a donation basis, yes, but for example a rental car must of course be paid by all of us, as long as I don’t get it also offered on a donation basis ;).
If I were to take over the worldly costs patronizingly, an energetic imbalance would arise, a guilt of the receiver towards the giver – which in turn could force me karmically into the future assumption of the compensation of this guilt… if there wasn’t forgiveness ;). Meanwhile, through the work of Laura, it is already the case here and there that workshop rooms are given to us on a donation basis. The miracle is expanding…

The second reason.
It is arrogant to take responsibility for the hearts of others!
Only one person can know how much something is worth to you: you. And that’s only after you have experienced something. That’s why my donations are only possible at the end of workshops, not at the beginning. The heart was given to you in your chest, so that you would take care of it, you alone – this means that you should be and remain pure with yourself, that is with your heart. It is you, who feels whether something is to be done or left, and if you have followed or not what you intuitively knew from your heart. That is the reason why we cannot give a value to an information or to the workshops being equal for everyone, since it will be given to each and every one from the inside. My and Laura’s job is to recognize the value of the information and practices to us alone, and that is enough for our hearts. As time goes by, you will feel more and more precisely when something was too little, too much or appropriate, because any other path will leave you in imbalance. Every imbalance in the heart produces karma – thus the plan B of compensation, the path of the old world with interest, instead of staying immediately pure in the heart here and now.

A third reason only became clear to me at my last paid workshop.
If I demand a fixed price in advance for an accompaniment or a workshop, as I have done for seventeen years before, I am forced to create an energetic balance for the paying people, which usually ends up with removing blockings from these people. The mandatory giving in the outside forces a mandatory taking in the inside for compensation. Ultimately, nobody benefits from this, even if it means that a problem of any kind is no longer present or at least diminished in the person and must be solved by me and in me, because the cause of a blockade cannot ever be removed by anyone due to the Free Will and therefore a healing effect is often only of short duration and it costs me more than can be paid with money, in my perception.

One fourth reason is,
because it corresponds to the “New World” and is no longer worked like in the old world to earn money for dreams, fears, aversions and desires, but we “work” because that is why we came to this planet, which is at the same time the expression of our highest ecstasy. That means: to do what you are here for is already the greatest possible reward inwardly & outwardly. Thus, the work is independent of whether it is liked (a social thumbs up ;)) or not, independent of any evaluation, acceptance or rejection. Everyone takes when he or she is enriched by it and leaves when he or she is not. Pretty much like picking an apple from a tree. This feeling of enrichment naturally gives rise to gratitude, which can then be shown in the form of donations.

A reason that directly concerns you,
because donating isn’t primarily important to the donor-taker: Regardless of which thing in your life, as soon as the heart feeling of imbalance between taking and giving prevails, a manifestation process starts that seeks to manifest exactly this, that is, a reflection of your own behavior towards yourself, and ultimately must be balanced one way or another. The longer one remains in such an imbalance, the more dramatic the gap between the IS and TO-BE state becomes, whereby the energetic balance grows. This is the reason why interest still enslaves us. So, someone who, for example, is afraid of the opposite sex, let’s say to address a woman, and cultivates this fear for years, usually needs more effort to encounter this fear than someone, who approaches it immediately. This principle can be easily remembered by the gardener: The later you remove the weed, the more effort it will take. Exponentially. The ego will make you believe that you don’t have enough to compensate – the usual “not enough” game. Of course, because the ego will never have enough – but the Self always, so give from the heart, not from the ego. “Not Enough” is in principle not possible for the Self, the heart, because as soon as the feeling of gratitude arises, it is also ready to express it, to live (and not just to feel) gratitude. If this gratitude is not expressed, one automatically expresses the opposite, the lack. Therefore, don’t try to balance gratitude with the head like “That’s not affordable, I don’t have that much”, that’s hypocrisy, a romantic ego-dramaqueen. But let your heart tell you what the compensation is. That may seem little to the head then – but it’s not about that :). It’s about being pure with your heart, not about being pure with your ego. This is a later necessity, but not the primary one. Only when the heart is in peace, also the ego is satisfied.

Last but not least, the main reason is that I consider the knowledge and the techniques to be priceless. How much are you convinced of something and enriched by it if you only pass it on with money in advance? I know that it is popular in pseudo-spiritual circles, that price gives you value, especially what you are “worth to yourself”. But it seems that there is no awareness of the effect of putting a price tag on your Self and what you are giving. What price tag does the sun need? What is its value? … I claim that, what has an inherent value and is really significant, needs and has no price tag. What price should one pay for such inestimable things, especially since the gift of this way to those who now pass it on is already the greatest feasible gift of being?
