Overview
About Me
Hi,
Currently I'm traveling by bike from Amsterdam to China. I usually have no time-plan. I have no end-date of this travel. This is my life now.
I love music
I love light conversations about deep and intellectual subjects. If the flow is right I can talk for 4-5-6 hours :)
I like also to be silent together. It's very magical.
I try to stay connected to what I feel the moment asks for and act from there.
I love to spend days in the flow, talking, eating, relaxing, sharing wisdom in practice, etc. My lifestyle now allows that. Thats what I always dreamed off.
I do also respect that most others do not have this flexibility due to work and other schedueled matters :)
I like to bike for hours and focus on meditation / breathing. It builds body-awareness and I feel fabulous then :D
I'm not a real biker-typ I would say. I like the meditative part of it more. The bike is merely an efficient transportation device. The type of bike I use is extremely challenging both physically and mentally. I experienced that it is also a little burden sometimes as you need to take it always and store it somewhere and thus get back to where you stored it.
When I’m inside after many days outside I like to be inside, sleep/rest extra, eat all day, listen to music, clean myself,.. do research on interesting topics.. Mostly go with the flow. This is also sometimes sing and dance around or go out.
Although I’m now (after a semi-heavy sex-drugs-and-rock’nroll-period) a non-drinker and non-smoker in general for about 4 years now. I do appreciate a very pure (herbal/natural)spirit like sapin or a very good beer like ‘’Gulden Carolus Curvee van de Keizer Blauw’’
I like people that are pure and honest to theirselves and/or are conscious about their behavior/energy. So I don’t expect perfection in what you are but do appreciate honesty to yourself, freedom of expression and taking responsibility for your actions.
I like to practice a personalized form of a mix of Tai Chi, Meditation and breathing exercises. It's a deep form of relaxation for me. I do this form of Self-healing to keep mentally and physically fit. I try to incorporate the essence of these principles into day to day routines.
I can easily loose myself for hours in listening to music and watching clips and interviews. For example Queen, Prince, MJ, Elvis, Buddy Holly, etc.
I like to let myself flow trough the web and am interested where I will end up.
I like to connect physics and mathematics with laws of nature as a form of art and I like to 'calculate with human behavior'. This I cannot explain more in words I feel. We'll get there having a good conversation :)
I am a deep loving and caring person with also struggles in dealing with the many impulses I take in and when I’m over-sensitive I sometimes have a hard time dealing with myself.
From this being long over-sensitive and not having be taught how to deal with it, I had to start looking for ways myself. I couldn’t live any longer with the feeling not being completely myself and being not happy. This got extreme so now I aim for my purest state of personal being. This means to me letting go of all material and personal automatical ways of behavior and accepting to let go of the 'Self'. After this comes a quiet state of consciousness and living in non-action, non-doing, or in Taoism referred to as Wu Wei. This makes me drift gently towards the center, free of sorrow and heavy loads, light and content.
Being free of sorrow and feeling light and content is the most amazing feeling I've experienced in life so far. I wish this to everyone on the planet, being your complete self and be content and happy, free of heavy loads. This is the message I carry.
Oh yes and I also like to practice a massage therapy I developed. I think it can be called as body-awareness training.
Most sincere,
Tim

More About Me:
-------------------------
I live wherever I Go
I like to investigate life by doing it and go deep without conceptual interference.
I like the area where the fast 2018-life meets the mental relaxation in meditation we all look for now. I do this not trough study books or concepts created by others but by living life. Living 'my' life. I take life serious and light at the same time. I am a very normal guy, as well as a very unusual one. I'm not only very spiritual and therefore floating away but am also someone having his feet on the ground. To be honest, floating is easier so I'm trying not to try to stay on the ground ;)
I look for balance. To find balance we need also non-balance. Then.. there is 'nothing'. That is ultimate.
At the moment Im into Taoism.
Currently I'm on the road for about 5 months. Developing personality and consciousness.
Currently i'm on my way to China to experience the Dao.
On 'the way' I am experiencing with the self-healing frequency I mentioned earlier. This frequency, I think, is healing on all physical, spiritual, emotional fields.
I like the connecting area that binds all religions and philosophic believes together. The connection that aims at oneness with the self and therefore unity with all there is on this planet and beyond. Some call it Samadhi as I understand it correctly.
I like wisdom rather than knowledge.
I'm also still a human with humor :D
—————————
You have a good picture now. More about me, read on..:
—————————
I've lived a normal young-mans life, lived with my parents until 18 or so and then moved to the city where I studied and went nosing around in life like I mentioned earlier. I used to be kind of a 'popular guy'. Working in bars and (ab)using my charme to chat up girls etc. You know, the usual a popular guy is supposed to do. I was liked for this, so I did this. At the end I was a small man with a big mouth and a small heart. Then, a couple of years later, after my graduation and after a period back at my parents house again I took this left turn and left to work and live in Norway for a season. The change came because I was having difficulties dealing with society. I was not happy so I started to look in different places. Then the practicing of consciousness and body awareness trough Tai Chi and Meditation etc. took off.
Now, again 3 years later, I'm more of a friendly and from the outside rather calm guy with a good amount of depth. After that I moved into a cosy little house in Eindhoven. now I'm on the road with no end-date yet.
Looking for the meditational aspects in normal day-to-day life, This I find interesting. Being happy with only yourself and your life. Without the need for special exercises. Life itself will be your 'special exercise' then.
This way I think we all can be ourselves and be happy and so we can deal with society lightly and happy.
This way we can be aware and present of what goes on around us and not getting affected to much.
I would like to share this with everyone who is interested. I do this by 'resonation'. Now just by talking while traveling and on b-day shit-talks. I would also do this as a profession sooner or later. That's my aim.
Resonation is my way of sharing. About this is can talk a long time. For who is interested, please ask me.
To go a different way:
I like Trump and Thierry Baudet. The weird politics of now. Not because of what they do but because of the amount of shit their presence reveals to us. I find and see this kicks people awake.
Sometimes, I feel more like a wild animal then human. The wild-part is very much awake and close to the surface. I adore this. I need to be careful that I don't show this to much outside on the streets as 'they' might put me in a mental facility haha. At the moment I'm lucky and thankful to have enough brains and new-age behavior to be able to participate in (on the edge of) society. I am especially thankful for the freedom and luxury-position I live in to be able to choose to look beyond general life and explore life and myself the way I want. I thank my parents, my country, the ones around me and myself for this.
I like to challenge myself mentally/emotionally
So, In topics, I like: Nature; Self-healing; Quantum Physics; Music; Neurology; Fytotherapy; acupressure; children behavior; adult behavior; philosophy; Escence of ... Life - reality - love - happiness, etc.
I like to look carefully around me in life. Constantly and consciously observing what I see in nature, structures and most of all in peoples eyes. Without turning away or blinking. Really see and look at stuf below the surface.
Those who speak they don't know. This who know, they don't speak... I learned that when I speak it can hit you hard but I will never ever mean you any harm.
Peace
Tim
