 A relationship is not always a rose garden, nor should it be a constant warzone. However, living together creates conflicts. There are many reasons for this such as genetics, hormones and external elements. People do evaluate and interpret events in a different way and they do act accordingly different. Hidden behind any conflict are wishes, expectations and habits that were known by you before or that were hidden in your subconscious mind. You got to know them for sure only when exposed during a conflict.
 Your beliefs convert into your thoughts,
Your thoughts convert into your words,
Your words convert into your actions,
Your actions convert into your habits,
Your habits convert into your values,
Your values convert into your destiny.
(Mahatma Ghandi)
 Some time ago during this year, I was overlooking the most significant events of the last couple of months and wondered what would be the meaning of them. Would they just be randomly produced as components of a mathematical probability, or would they be "organised" as part of a "higher plan" in order to invite us to re-think about and re-act on our "proven" concepts?
With "higher plan" I do not necessarily mean the standard idea of a Higher Force, but merely the creation of situations by our actual behaviour that make those events almost unavoidable.
Like a situation that is created by a bold artist who walks on a tight rope when gales are whipping around him. Although he succeeded many times to resist the unpredictable gusts and now falls down, could it be part of a "higher plan" that invites him to readjust his judgements or would it only be a stupid accident to be expected and life just goes on as before? Do humans analyse those events they are witnessing and will they learn from them or don't they and do they just keep on going? What would be the sense of life if we wouldn't be learning from it and adjust our behaviour? And, in fact, what means "learning from life"? And what means the "sense of life"? Many people don't have an answer to these questions and therefore choose to keep their thoughts quite superficial. Something in the way of: "Well, I don't know why we are here on this globe - maybe through a coincidence by nature or by an Act of the Highest - but I surely gonna make the best out of it". And when you ask these people about what they mean by "making the best out of it", many will answer: having a job, finding a partner, creating a family, spending quality time with family and friends, make some extras to buy what one likes, etc. So enjoying life becomes the highest and unique goal for them. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is more.
But what are our plans and how do we behave when things aren't so shiny and flashy as we expected? What goes around in our mind and heart when we are confronted with bad news, shocking events and devastating situations - even if they happen in remote and far-away places like we all witnessed this year? Do we accept them as a way to really learn from it so that we get in a "higher human state" or do we classify them only as an accident, make some minor adjustments and go on with our lives? According to most Western concepts a human being consists of body, mind and feelings. The first two components are self-explanatory and the latter one is about the self-feeling and the emotions that one has or can have towards the surrounding area. But, dear reader, there is more... a lot more.
What if there also is something that always has been a part of any creature that has lived since the creation of life and maybe even before? Something that represents the real meaning of life and about which humans slowly become aware thanks to their consciousness. An awareness of "connectedness" to anybody and anything. What if there is a kind of "energy field" - some call it a spirit or a soul - for each living organism which objective it is to evolve to a higher level through the experience of this living organism? Why should humans - as they are today - be the only purpose and endpoint of evolution? Why cannot humans be the carrier for and evolve to a higher level of "energy", like once our monkey ancestors were the carrier for a higher level of energy - our consciousness? What if we are an intermediate on the road of evolution towards "spiritual beings", meaning creatures who really are connected to and in harmony with their environment and who really act respectfully to the only and non-interchangeable home we have: Earth.
We still are far from the above mentioned behaviour and although we might think that the human race is here to stay for ever, on the geologic time scale of our home planet, we're only here since a couple of minutes...
We should become aware that the Earth is not our property - we're just trespassing, and only for a very short period.

As already mentioned in short in the Welcome section of this magazine, the recent dramatic events for sure have put many people in shock and have set them in a mental conditioning of self-examination: why did it hit us so badly, where were we wrong?
We never will be able to predict major earthquakes sufficiently well or even control or avoid most of their effects, but we can try to limit those devastating consequences that we have witnessed recently.
 Internationally recognized healer Eric Pearl has appeared on countless television programs in the US and around the world, spoken by invitation at the United Nations, presented to a full house at Madison Square Garden, been interviewed in various publications including The New York Times, and most recently featured in the film, The Living Matrix.
When relationships are difficult or when they are hitting a bottom, many people ask themselves what is wrong with them… or with their partner. With the exception of a minority who really have to cope with deep problems concerning emotional and communicative issues, nothing is wrong with us. However, be aware that every one of us is a product of three major elements: genetic disposition, education by environment and adjustment through auto-feedback.
 Is Love enough in a relationship? Well, compare with this:
Imagine your car being in a corrosive marine area.
If you regularly do maintenance on your car and with love, you will encounter little rust,
If you love your car but cut on the maintenance, you will get more rust,
If you don’t love your car and neglect it, you will get a lot of rust,
A relationship is not different.
Love alone is not enough to keep things running, regular maintenance is important too.
Eliminating rust with love alone won’t work, a hands-on approach is needed sometimes.

When people fall in love they want to see a lot of movies…because they can sit together in the dark. (Sheley, 8)
When people fall in love with each other then they kiss and when you kiss for the first time you faint… surely for at least one hour. (Wendy, 8)
 Open the Gate and let through… It is almost Christmas time. The year comes to its end, the days shorten and the nights get longer. Here on Fuerteventura, we do not experience these phenomena to the same extent as “back home“. Here we still have the warmth and the light and we don’t have the sh… weather like rain, fog, cold, snow, but neither the open fire place, the fine delicacies from home.
 Anxiety is a result of a biological and a psychological condition but also of education and social environment. When we grow up from our childhood to adults, we discover fear due to experiences that harmed us – physically, mentally, emotionally, or a combination of these. A proper education teaches us to cope with these fears and to put them in a balanced perspective. An improper or even abusive education will result in the amplification of fears to such an extend that they could run your entire life. Fear will then cause internal and constant pain.

Many of us – and I have to admit I am no exception to it – tend to use only our brain in our daily communication with others. For the majority of topics that we have to deal with, there is nothing wrong about that. But when it comes to our communication with friends or beloved ones, we could allow the heart – and thus our soul – to speak more freely. This statement may sound trivial and “déjá vu”, but it isn’t.

One could think that sex is not a taboo anymore. Till the bedroom light darkens.
When you ask ten people about their most embarrassing moments in life, eight will answer you with a story about nudity or sex. No matter that we can talk freely about sex; we draw the line where people can watch, hear or smell us during the “act”. Even with our fixed partner, we tend to pretend.
The objective of performance is dominating our perception and behaviour. And it is not only with the masculine part of our population that targets like “1-hour penetration” are the only valid criteria of success. Also the female part can be conditioned by the “number of orgasms” they can achieve. Another fake target is the “romantic copulation”.
Lady W. (50) tells me whilst covered in tears: “My husband left me 4 years ago for a 10 year younger woman. As a result of that I started the divorce. But since then my life became without meaning, I cry a lot, I have no energy, I feel bad. I consult doctors because of my sleep disorders, I eat too much and I have regular headaches. I don’t know how to continue my life, I have no fun anymore in my work and I started taking pills to cope with this world. At occasions I take to the bottle. What’s wrong with me?”
SCIO means Scientific Conscious Interface Operations system. SCIO is a measuring system that connects to the human body and to the unconsciousness via an interface. Most of the body and mind processes run in the sub-consciousness domain. The human body consists of about 200 trillion body cells that have to be in balance. This requires a vast amount of information as well as steering mechanisms. In no way we could manage this amount of tasks in the conscious domain. These kinds of compensation mechanisms, damages, levels of exhaustion, faults etc that cannot be seen yet by clinical examination or that haven’t showed up yet as symptoms, can be made obvious with SCIO, under the condition that the sub-conscious does react.

Modern relationships differ from “older” ones in the way that nowadays people can be more open about their preferences and expectations. Females enjoy more freedom in most western societies and this has an important influence on their self-consciousness and ego. The “romantic ideal” of life-time relationships is – slowly but steadily – transformed into a more pragmatic attitude towards partnerships. Discovery of one self within a fixed relationship and redefinition of expectations and loyalty becomes an important topic to youngsters and older partners. The search about the (new) basics of life is also guided by components of the far-eastern culture. Respect, openness and friendship seem to be the driving forces in modern relationships.
