Today we are celebrating Woman’s Day. A lot has been written, a lot has been said and many speeches are given every day about this. Most of them conclude with a wish for true gender equality, for selfless and daily offering towards our fellow humans and for expression of woman’s inner strength and deeper beauty, so as to advance the culture of our days.

We all think of these, we all desire them, we all wish for them. But how can they be expressed in our everyday life, so that it could be more complete, more fulfilled, so that we could just be well? And especially amidst the happenings of this era?

In my opinion, this is what is required. Someone may think “How does it matter what Hypatia, Montessori or Curie achieved? After all they are not contemporary, they lived in different times, with other customs and different ways of life; what do I have to do with them?"

This is not so. Because if these women managed to open the way, it is still open for us today. But what is the way for women to find their place in society? And I am referring to nowadays.

When I first met the poet and philosopher Dimitris Kakalidis, founder of Omilos Eksipiretiton (The Servers’ Society), who was my Master, at the first lesson I had with him he mentioned that we will not say anything new here. All is known and all has been said. The difference is that we will put them into action.

So, by extension, woman’s finding her place and remaining in it is not something we should refer to only once on a celebrating occasion. It is a position that we should firstly clarify, and then let our whole life converge to it, despite whatever ups and downs occur.

Woman, just like nature, gives birth, nurses and nurtures life, and therefore all things she commits herself to. And this is her power. I shall read you an extract from the book “The Power of the Woman” by Ms Klairi Lykiardopoulou, President of the Spiritual Centre “Omilos Eksipiretiton”, referring exactly to this.

“Great is the power of woman! Hidden in the depth of her existence, it fills up her body and vibrates her conscience, challenging her to express it, to turn it into life and creation. And as the blood flows in her veins and her senses and emotions are awakened, she feels great happiness while thoughts of love and offering come to her mind. She spontaneously opens her arms, in adoration of man, of the child, the whole world, her own self, overwhelmed by the desire for a creative life.

There are many times when this will of woman is inhibited by an opposite one. It is the times when she doesn’t like something and refuses to accept it, when some part of life causes her resistance or fear. And then suddenly her arms close again, asphyxiating her enormous power within a small human body. The passion for life suffocates, the heart freezes, senses and emotions deaden; instead of being a source of love, they become fear, sadness, tormenting ideas. The great power is inverted and becomes great weakness, bringing despair and loneliness. Dan, what is woman left with? Only pain! And it is pain that once more awakens the instinct of self-preservation and forces the mind to search for the reasons that brought it about, to seek for the spark of hope that will lighten the darkness of distress and reveal the light of the soul. […]

Nature forged the female body and gave it the elements of receptivity, it was created to accept man, conceive his sperm and gestate. It personified in woman the aspect of power which embraces, nurtures and develops the small, the weak, the child. It gave the same power to the earthly sphere, which conceives, nurses and preserves all forms of life within its soil, seas and skies. [...]

Mother divine is every woman in the depth of herself, even if she has not acknowledged it. And to do so, she goes through numerous friction processes, desires, theses and antitheses, which aim solely at revealing her power. This subject is unfolded in the next chapters, where specific examples of woman’s functioning are given, of her positive and negative qualities and their respective effects. These examples have been gathered through my contacts with friends and relatives, my personal life experiences as a woman and, mostly, through my conversations with members of the spiritual centre “Omilos Eksipiretiton”. Some of these examples concern simple everyday actions and others refer to the innermost needs of woman’s nature. In all cases it is clearly shown that this nature can bring essential improvements in life, when a woman gets to know it, accepts it and decides to work on expressing her power; when she believes in herself and sees that inside her hides the miracle of life, the miracle of creation.”

The Master would often say: The Woman is One. There is no beautiful or ugly woman, nor educated or illiterate, nor young or old. The woman is one. Her entity exists in all her forms.

SSo more importantly, all women should acknowledge that within us this entity exists. This acknowledgment is which gives us the self-confidence of our being. In front of this great truth all ideas of woman’s inferiority collapse, even if they have risen during the past or if in some degree continue to exist even today. Especially in the last decades, institutional, political and social decisions have improved the position of women concerning educational access, participation in sociopolitical fields etc. And these have rectified the injustice and inequities of the past.

Although steps have been made, the position that she chooses for herself remains the most important one. And this position cannot originate but from deep self-awareness and should be expressed through constant offer.

In an example of everyday life, we would say that a woman, as she accepts with understanding and calmness the aspects expressed by her child, she trains it to function more integrally and supports it so that it can develop. She doesn’t expect something from it, nor does she ask for anything. She has the positioning of offering simply, naturally, without something in exchange. This very function is her power.

But if she waits her own needs to be fulfilled before she offers to others, she maintains childish features inside her that imprison her in her own demands; this happens out of ignorance of her true nature and make her feel dependent. On the contrary, giving freely is what provides her with strength and happiness.

This is the higher function that a woman is called upon to have towards all, and in this way she practices the high science that demands daily observation, method and correction. And it is non-other than the science of love.

Thresholds magazine summer issue ‘13 dedicated the special focus entry on an article describing the spiritual teaching of Omilos, including its presence in the UK up to date, through the presentations at conferences and the recently formed personal development group that meets regularly in London.

The article is titled ‘Spirituality: een manier om te leven, a way to heal’, echoing the theme of the day-conference that took place in London in October 2012, was authored by Dr. Fevronia Christodoulidi, psychotherapist currently working in the UK and Omilos member for several years.

The author shares her own experience of being involved in the Society’s work as well as the helpful impact this has had both in terms of dealing with personal issues as well as in her professional practice and matters that relate to psychotherapy debates; her writing is introducing the audience to the basic principles of this spiritual approach to life as well as the activities that are offered free of charge and unselfishly since the society was originally founded.

More specifically, the article focuses on presenting the Society’s teaching as a practical philosophy that offers a synthesis approach towards various schools of thought in the fields of science, religions and the arts and it is applicable to all aspects of daily living. Once can recognise that the acknowledgement and revelation of the essence that exists in everything, as taught at the Servers’ Society, is a lifestyle that when acquired, leads to a sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Tijdens het mediteren we beginnen te beseffen dat de kern van onze kracht is ons eigen zelf, die in werkelijkheid is bevrijd van de beperkingen, fears and anxieties.

Het doel van elke meditatie is om ons leven te verbeteren zoals het geleidelijk actie en neemt op een krachtige functie in ons leven. When putting into practice what we experience in meditation then our inner strength does not remain a mere meditative revelation but it is expressed in action in our everyday life.

Dus, meditatie wordt het leven, creation and joy.

Meditation ist eigentlich ein Dialog.

Op elk moment van het leven van de mens is in een meditatieve staat, dat, hij maakt een interne kwestie- Response proces. Hij denkt, geproblematiseerd, antwoorden op hun vragen en zorgen vinden op basis van haar beslissingen. Hij maakt namelijk een bewuste of onbewuste “Dialoog” mit sich selbst.

Het verschil tussen deze functie en de dagelijkse meditatie van een geestelijk mens is, dat de mediterende zoekt met zijn eigen wil naar de spirituele vereniging met bredere velden, kan worden gedetecteerd, denn er ist entspannt und hat die Bereitschaft sie mental zu erfassen.

Als we beginnen, bewust van deze dialoog met onze innerlijke zelf, durch meditatie, deelnemen, zo wordt meer en meer onthulde het mysterie van de schepping, das Wissen und die Freiheit.

Meditatie is Art. Het is de kunst van de vakbond; vereniging met de oneindige mogelijkheden die in ons bestaan; met de andere mensen; met alle dingen die we dagelijks doen; with life itself.

Mediteren betekent om onszelf te bevrijden van de slavernij en gaan naar nieuwe gebieden door de verdieping in het Zelf.

Door meditatie breder worden we, we vrij van gedachten en emoties die ons beperken en daarmee, onze potentie om goed naar voren. De cellen worden nieuw leven ingeblazen, het lichaam wordt geactiveerd en ons hele wezen herwint nieuwe kracht. De mentale energieën ontwaken, een stroom van kracht en liefde overweldigt ons, geheimen worden onthuld aan ons, we conceive new ideas and new horizons are unveiled in front of our eyes.

Hoe dieper we gaan in dit potentieel van ons hoe sterker de ervaring wordt; het wordt de staat waarin we voortdurend leven en die we leren in praktijk te brengen. De vrijheid en de magie die we ervaren tijdens het mediteren een nieuw licht werpen op onze alledaagse momenten. Onder deze hoek, everything is put into practice in a different way.

Each very moment, elke dag dat we leven, each second is creative meditation.

In werkelijkheid, het “de kunst van de vakbond”.

Als we goed zijn, We zijn geroepen om te creëren en door die aan onze ontologische natuur uitdrukken. With creative meditation we learn to unify the opposite sides within us and bring spirit into manifestation in our everyday life immediately, simply and practically. We learn to gain insight upon a matter and then act out in life; and because we act, we live and experience the joy of creation.

There are no dead-ends through creative meditation. Every thought, every movement and every action brings the answer, the solution, the broadness, the revelation… because energy follows thought; because within us lies everything. We set free of restrictions that we might feel, we act and experience bliss.

Mensen altijd gedanst, dansen en zal uitvoeren op dansen, imiteren, in werkelijkheid, de eeuwige dans van de planeten, van de seizoenen, van de moleculen, of the whole creation that is expressed in a rhythmic and melodic way.

Elke beweging die we maken is dansen; persoonlijk, groep, planetaire dans. Wat zijn de bewegingen die worden uitgevoerd, echter, wanneer negatieve gedachten binnendringen in onze geest? En wat zijn de houdingen die ons lichaam neemt, wanneer onze emoties worden tegengehouden?

Het woord ‘chorodromena' zelf betekent te handelen via dance; altijd gericht op de verbreding van de individuele, de ontwikkeling van ideeën, het uiten van emoties, de eenheid met de wereld, gecoördineerde functie en de expressie van de groep, de panhuman toekomstvisie, de eenheid van alle wezens, het respect voor de planeet, de activering van alle positieve velden en ontbinding van alle negatieve, the therapy.

Bij het uitvoeren van chorodromena maken we zeker svan het heelalgingen die ons plaatsen in de stroom van de natuur, of the universe, van ons eigen Zelf; ze plaatst ons in de harmonisatie van de tegenstellingen in ons, de stroom, de breedheid maar ook de ontbinding van inertie, van beperkingen, fears and weaknesses.

Elke beweging die met de handen, de benen, het hele lichaam is niet willekeurig gedaan. De geringste beweging die wordt uitgevoerd door degenen die deelnemen aan chorodromena leidt hen als tegenwicht de energieën in hen en worden afgestemd met de groep. Dan, the group acting as a unified whole expresses the integrated field of each of the chorodromena.

Dit is hoe de chorodromena worden gemaakt, Dit is hoe ze functioneren. Eenvoudig en moeiteloos!

Omdat dingen zijn precies zoals we beschouwen hen te zijn!
