Relating to Life - Art of Living Mission statement
That's the subject of my Web site and will include various aspects, always with the view, that human life is part of the whole, which can't be separated from it, even it might look to the individual as being of separated existence. Most of problems, suffering and unhappiness are resulting from this common illusion, that is represented through the state of evolution humanity is passing. That is absolutely not completed and still in a limited state. Relating to Life and responding to what shows up in one's daily life will delude this split during the growing process of each individual.
I will try to contribute information to support the process to become conscious and more directed, - by sharing my experiences and the resulting knowledge, which is inspired by intuition, being connected with the whole. Information will be given through written words and also through feelings, transmitted through images, sounds or other ways of artistic expressions... and as the most essential and direct: Is transmitted through Energy, that can be received from serious seekers who are ready to receive.
Who wants to participate, contributing to this process, in which consciousness and a subtle awareness will play the most important part, can join our circle of friends. - With other words: You can become a member of FalconBlanco.
It will not happen during our life time that humanity will form a team. What can we do about it? We can only relate to what is there and respond the best we are capable and use what is available to express ourselves.
BeiYinUpdate: (August 2009) Due to unfavorable happenings that had brought FB into unbearable conditions, FalconBlanco is only open for visitors and members, who are willing and capable to deal with the momentary conditions and want to help to clean up the place and create the intended energy of FalconBlanco.
Update: (February 2010) It has shown during the last half year that visitors are not capable to deal with conditions that are different from what they are used to. Again I have learned, but I don't want to repeat it and so I must say: Please stay away! I prefer to do the cleaning up alone and when it's done, then maybe I will welcome people again.
What is FalconBlanco?
FalconBlanco was founded 1975 and originally planed as an 'Intentional Community' and 'Meditation/ Creativity Center'. Experience during many years has shown, that with the word 'Community' there are connected concepts and images, that doesn't meet what FalconBlanco is or is supposed to be. So then, - what is FalconBlanco?
It is an ongoing process. What means, that there is no established form or concept how things should be. It means that it is a growing process in which people are involved with their own growing process, that we see as a healing process. The chaos manifested on the outside level is the mirror of the individual chaos one is carrying with oneself and trying to hide or keep under control... Who is not capable or willing to observe oneself in a critical way and so easily projects ones negativity to the outside, will find plenty of occations to do so here at FalconBlanco. But if you are not ready to do this step in your self knowledge, then please don't waste your energy and not ours coming here and playing your usual games.
We as humans in our momentary state of evolution are used to put things in boxes (or under the carpet if it is necessary to hide things), making a concept out of every thing, by giving names to it, then believing that we are knowing what it is and so can control it. With this we feel secure, because every thing has its place. That's not possible when being at 'FalconBlanco' and that is a big challenge for people living here, as guests or permanent members. It has shown in many years, that only very few people are capable to use this condition in a creative way for their personal growing and healing process. Most visitors are looking for confirmation for their established concepts and self image and it doesn't really matter if these are highly spiritual, it turns out very quick that they don't want to go beyond their picture world and they prefer to stay within their so well fitting straight jacket, - even though of all suffering that causes extreme depressions...
The island Ibiza has a very creative energy that can be used if one is willing and ready, but it can also result in destruction if one doesn't open and welcome creative influences. Here we need to relate and respond out of our individual condition. Here it shows, who we are and where we are in our individually established self image and world view. Here one will be disturbed and irritated in ones picture world. Not that this is our intention, it happens because of the unusual conditions, the different people from all over the world and the mentioned strong energy. This might give the opportunity to look at oneself to make a critical checkup. One might find out that part of the used personal setup is worn out and one can drop it. That will allow that new perspectives show up or at least some doubts and with this some serious questions...
It has become clear that answering questions by satisfying the mind, giving new concepts that are more sophisticated than the old ones, doesn't really help and just follows the old used ways to strengthen one's 'personality'. So all talking will be used to continue in one's old games and new concepts will just change one trap for another one. That is not 'healing' or 'growing' and being at FalconBlanco, one should be conscious about it when coming to live here, as a permanent member or as a short term visitor, one must be willing to go beyond one's personality.
At FalconBlanco we are convinced that there are ways to get out of one's 'strait jacket'. We found out, that meditation or the 'StressReleaseExercise' can prepare the necessary basic condition, using ones normal daily life situations, to be able to relate to the outside and also to oneself in a different way. One can stay relaxed and from there relate and respond to whatever shows up in a more objective way, observing and being aware of one's reactions on all levels. That clears up one's personal background, that's the unconscious personal program established during one's life, and this clearing up creates the condition to start to be and see things more objective and then from there relating and responding in a new way. Then one takes responsibility for oneself and also for what comes from around.
This is a hard way and in normal conditions nearly impossible to live and experience, as the whole social system is confirming and strengthening the established personalities within the frame of established forms. People confirm each other, whatever they do or with whom they meet, using each other for their need to be confirmed. The same happens in FalconBlanco, with the difference that people here are interested to find out about themselves and their dependencies and they are all meditating and alert to what shows up within themselves, - then they become aware of their conditioning...
Update: Reality is that people who came here during the last few years were lying about their intention and habits, especially smoking, drugs and alcohol addictions. They were using this place mainly for their survival needs. It was a long process that they finally all left, but at this moment FalconBlanco is practical left without people...
Update: We are in transition and new beginning. A few new people will come soon and we will mainly be occupied by cleaning up the place...
FalconBlanco is situated in the middle of the Island Ibiza in Spain. People coming as volunteers from all over the world and meet and work here together. Our main goal is to rise awareness, individually and beyond. This is our main intention and connected with our daily practical work.
Apart of this we want to provide information also for people outside: For all who need it and ask for it. We are distributing worldwide information about ways to heal oneself, mainly about the effective 'Stress Release Exercise', - to further awareness, growth and health.
We investigate about alternative and holistic ways to heal oneself, furthering self responsibility and independence and we report about our search and our findings. We are using various means for this and offer at our Web site articles, answers to questions, discussions, download ebooks, videos and audio. We are printing booklets and leaflets. This is done by permanent members and volunteers at 'FalconBlanco'. We plan a series of videos to offer information. All offered service is for free, never there is money involved. All volunteers are doing their work because they are motivated and engaged in our projects. Our intention is to start a 'positive chain reaction'. Helping our fellow human beings and relating and responding to needs where ever these are showing up, without expecting any reward. Then we all can make the surprising experience that as more we give, as more comes back... And with this we are rising onto another level, beyond the narrowness of materialistic behavior and thinking. This is not a project or a dream, this is what we are living as a daily reality at FalconBlanco, although visitors have their problems with it, but this is part of their individual healing process...
Of course we have to deal with all the personal problems people carrying with them when coming to live here. Our common goal to be of help for others and the urge for ourselves to get out of worn out habits and mind sets helps to go beyond our limited personalities. This is real work and not everybody is capable for it, - confronting themselves.
People ask for a description, they want to know very concrete what FalconBlanco is and what is going on here in its essence. It is hardly possible to make this clear, because it depends too much on the subjective view of the one who receives the information. FalconBlanco is a 'process' which can be experienced. There are not many frames in which things are happening. So people need to relate to what is there and then respond out of there own capability. What happens depend on the state of being of each individual and the outside conditions. Can one describe what 'life' is? Even a precise description can't be very concrete and will leave a lot of space for individual interpretation, there seems to be no way to avoid misunderstanding and so expectations will be formed and will not be confirmed by one's personal experience when coming to FalconBlanco, because the reality here will be different... So part of the work is to creatively work with the dilemma showing up. (It must be said that very few people are capable to respond in a creative way, most are defending their established self image and old way to see the world and themselves and so they react with disappointment and then they leave...
What we are living at FalconBlanco does not fit into known concepts, unless antique wisdom are remembered, where it was said: "Know yourself..."
Not even existing forms, like 'Intentional Communities' come near to a possible general description. So if you might ask: "Is FalconBlanco an 'Intentional Community?" Then I will answer: No, it is not! Because we are not trying to live a concept although our 'coming together' is part of the way we are living. When I say 'No' to this question, then because many years of experience have shown that people coming to live here have many problems when their expectations are not meeting with reality and reality is mostly different from dreams and concepts.
At FalconBlanco we are not living concepts, we are trying to relate consciously in a responsible and creative way to daily circumstances, trusting that whatever appears, is the most effective happening to further our personal growth, what includes our conscious decisions.
People sometimes ask: "What is your philosophy?" We are NOT bound to any philosophy or believe system. We see life as our 'teacher', including more and more into our growing awareness, being active and creative - allowing to be inspired, expressing ourselves, - going beyond personal limitations, enjoying... And of course also going through our personal reactions: being sad, angry, etc. But we are convinced, that whatever shows up on the outside, happenings, situations, conditions, people, - that this is exactly what we need in our growing process. Some times this is hard to take and real work and has to do with 'trust'...
We are conscious about the fact that NOT having concepts, except the working concept - leaves a lot of space open for individual interpretation and so people who are coming to live at FalconBlanco bring with them their self images and with this their expectation to be confirmed in their personal reality, which then are not meeting what they find here in daily circumstances and how people respond or not respond to them and so this will cause frustration and disappointment. So either people can get angry and leave the place or they relate to what is there and maybe finding out something about themselves, doing a step to self knowledge and with this leaving a bit of their 'old program' behind...
What is the goal of FalconBlanco?
To live individually one's essential existence, using daily circumstances as stepping stones towards self knowledge, allowing and opening up to fields which transform one's personality, (finally as a self expression of love). Without any manipulation but with the trust that there is an unfolding growing process, that guides us in a natural, none violent and none manipulative way towards what could be called Health. Trusting that on our path we will receive the light we need, coming out of one's heart individually and from the Sun for all...
Writing and talking is a way to express oneself. One can give a description of one's position and the way one sees situations and receives other peoples expressions. If this opens an interchange and a communication, then this can be a way to help each other to clear things up.
What's the idea of people coming together?
There might come together up to 20 people: Practicing the 'Stress Release Exercise', doing body exercises or Yoga, talk, work, doing some artistic self expression, share, learn and enjoy their lives, relating to simple daily circumstances, finding a new way to deal with themselves and their surrounding, alone and in togetherness helping and healing each other. Finding individually their way to express themselves - 'coming together' by living together in a responsible way, responding to each other and to daily circumstances.
People who come to live and work at FalconBlanco for a certain time, this might be for three months as a minimum, - or longer, are participating similar like in a meditation/healing/working' retreat. There is no money involved. There is a loose structure for the living together. There are certain times for meditation and other healing exercises and the daily work to maintain the place, which must be completed, as there are no paid workers. Out of our specific lifestyle there are coming certain rules, which will not be felt as such if your way of life is similar as ours...
There is guidance available for various healing exercises. We are working together, finding out about alternative ways to do things and to deal with our environment. For example: From vegetables and fruits and other organic material and the manure of our horse (now from neighbors, because my horse died) we are making compost, which we use on our land or we exchange it. If there are enough people, we are growing vegetables and we are cleaning the forest to prevent fire danger, all this pretty hard work. But there is also work in the kitchen and with animals and plants.Maintaining the place, with animals, plants and people is one part of the daily work, the other part is that we work on projects going further out. For example the project to 'spread out the word' about the 'Stress Release Exercise'. We are diffusing booklets in many different languages which give information and also a simple and clear advice how to do it.
Update: At this moment we are not distributing any booklets because we are fully occupied with cleaning up the place and there is a lack of people to help with this...
Living together at FalconBlanco, there is no 'owner'. Who can 'own' land anyway? Owner is the one who feels responsible and takes care. We are not only trying to be friendly with people but also with plants, animals and the environment as a whole. -
Therefor people must be willing and able to set their own needs for certain moments aside. That the living together of people coming from all over the world with different cultures, etc. can function, it is necessary that every body takes responsibility and also some initiative. This can happen when there is motivation and engagement, what of course can't be there from the moment of arrival, even though one can expect to be with 'friends'. It's part of the growing process, individually and as a group. This needs some time, so the minimum stay should be three months...
What you can do to become a long or short time member?
We welcome people who are seriously interested to heal themselves and who also feel the urge to help and support others. People who come to participate should be responsible for themselves and have enough motivation and initiative to step out of their old world view, habits and personal structure; with other words: Who are ready and willing to undergo such difficult process... Inform yourself about FalconBlanco by reading thoroughly our Web site. Make your comments, ask questions. After reading the "FAQ", don't hesitate to ask more questions which might help to clear up things.
If then you are still interested, send an email or use our feedback form and tell us why you want to come, send a photo of yourself as an attachment and tell us your telephone number and the best time to call you.
Why you are interested in FalconBlanco? Is the reason because you are looking for an alternative way of life, not being satisfied with what is offered by society? Is the reason because you want to be understood when you are expressing yourself and looking for like minded and friendly people? And are you open enough to receive impulses which not only serve to confirm yourself but to have a critical look at yourself? With other words: Do you have the urge to get to know yourself, the urge for 'clarity'? Do you dare to quest yourself? To look at yourself even there might come up things you don't like? Are you ready to search for reasons in the first place within yourself not giving the fault to the outside and other people? Are you answering with 'YES' to these questions, then FalconBlanco might be your place: As a stepping stone to go on or as your home for a longer term.
About this I have made my comment at: 'Conditions'
Or do you just want to come because you want to do something practical and concrete to help other people and you can identify with the intention of FalconBlanco and so you offer your helping hands?
We ask you not to show up at FalconBlanco without our confirmation. We would like to be more spontaneous, but our experiences during many years have told us not to accept people without clearing up the basic conditions.NO drugs
This is a question of your personal 'lifestyle' and there should not be a conflict. If you want to live at FalconBlanco, then it must be clear that these four NOS must be completed . (Read about "Rules")
What is needed is a clear YES to life with the intention to go beyond one's limitations and that includes one's own personal boundaries, what also means one's excessive urge for self confirmation!
Update: It has shown that people were lying about their addictions and when being here they were hiding with it. I must tell you very clear: If this shows up, you have to leave immediately! And I tell you very clear: From now on we will be very strict in this.
It is essential that people who come to FalconBlanco are interested in meditation and practicing it or wanting to do it. Who is not interested should stay away. So then this is one of the conditions to be here. Of course it is not a 'must', but who doesn't want to meditate shows ones lack of interest in ones own healing and growing process and then for sure is here at the wrong place...
If there is any question, then please ask! Every thing should be pretty clear by now, but it seems to be normal that people only see what they want to see and then they come here with illusions and expectations that can't be fulfilled. Then being disappointed and angry, complaining but not willing to look at themselves... So please let's avoid too much disappointment and be clear about yourself and what you want...
If after reading all this your impression is that FalconBlanco is a kind of 'Hippy Paradise' and therefor you feel attracted, then let me tell you that you are totally wrong. FalconBlanco probably is the place where you need to work harder than in a coal mine, although not on a physical level! So better stay away or if you come then be prepared!
Update: Even though we have tried to make the situation and the conditions clear for people to come to FalconBlanco, it hasn't helped much: Yes there were coming very few people, but even those who came were mostly not prepared to join us. They were strongly attracted, but not capable. - It is extremely difficult to find out about a person through one's email and it was showing that pretending and lying is a normal behavior, so it is hardly possible to avoid people coming here who just have the strong urge but are not able to receive, they only want to be confirmed in their self image and if this doesn't happen, then when defending their condition they are reacting and even with violence.
At the moment FalconBlanco is in transition and in a new beginning...
