Relating to Life - Art of
Living BeiYin
Mission statement
That's
the subject of our Web site and will include various aspects, always with
the view, that human life is part of the *whole* and is not 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 shows up and is represented through the state of evolution
humanity is passing. Our *growing process* is not completed and still in
a limited state. Relating to Life and responding
to what shows up in one's daily conditions, situations and encounter, will
delude this split during ones personal *learning and healing* process.
Our
intention is, to give the space and possibility, to go consciously into
such a process, not being absorbed by too much distraction, goals and values
that are the demanding part of society. We can use a simple life style,
in connection with nature, just doing the necessary daily work to maintain
ourselves and the place, - to calm down and then be able to observe and
reflect. Becoming aware of our conditioning and so cleaning up worn out
habits and attitudes. In short: Healing oneself.
We
are sharing our findings and contribute information to support this process
of becoming conscious and more directed. Information is given through writings
and images, sounds or other ways of creative expressions... and as
the most essential and direct: Through our *Energy*,
that can be received from any one who is ready.
Who
wants to participate, contributing to this process, in which 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, by supporting our work from there where you are or living
together with us.
It
will not happen during our life time that humanity will go beyond the commonly
established mindset, to find togetherness and building up a team, that
serves the whole and not just specific personal interests. What can we
do about it? We can only start with ourselves and relate to what is there
and respond the best we are capable and use what is available to *express*
ourselves, there where we are, having an encounter with whatever shows
up. Representing our state of energy and *being*.
BeiYin
(Founder of FalconBlanco)
What
is FalconBlanco?
FalconBlanco was founded
1975 and in the beginning 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 personal 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... The usual way
to live in our society, is to try to realize ones goals and values and
find confirmation for ones established self image. For this people work,
fight and struggle. People are not conscious about the fact, that they
are living under the demanding conditioning they have received during their
life. They don't know, that all these influences are coming out of a fake
reality that is created by humans with all their limited interpretation
and unlimited misinterpretation! The existing picture of this world is
indeed the product of manipulation, so that it provides a frame in that
people can live, having a kind of security. The established power structure,
that is part of the social system, is built up by the most clever individuals
and gives direction and stability, keeping the illusion going...
Living out of this
picture world and having built up ones personality from this, people are
confronting a reality that is different than what they want it to be and
so they struggle and suffer, not being able to find themselves realized
in this. People are not capable and willing to look at themselves in a
critical way and as a consequence then would work on themselves, but instead
they are projecting their negativity to the outside and of course they
find plenty of occasions every where to do so.
If you have done already
the step to go beyond this destructive personality behavior, then you might
want to come here to find the space where you can question yourself and
get out of playing the common confirmation games. You might have the urge
for a change and you probably have already established a high pitched spiritual
concept, that in the first place had made it possible for you to survive
the confusion when confronting your daily reality.
Now there is showing
up an even more serious dilemma when it becomes clear, that spiritual
concepts are just part of the common mindset and so obviously are coming
out of the same erroneous picture created from this world. As this is integrated
part of every ones personality, so there seems no way to get out of it!
Where are you now? What is your most essential question at this moment?
We as humans in our momentary
state of evolution are used to put things into boxes (or under the carpet
if we want to hide things), making a concept out of every thing and then
giving names to it, believing that we are knowing what it is and so can
control every thing. With this we feel secure, because every thing has
its place. Of course we are fooling ourselves and we stay naive and ignorant,
because all around us are playing the same game, supported by authorities
and all what is established in our society.
In many years it has
shown, that not being supported by the common game, is a challenge
too big for most people coming to FalconBlanco. Only very few 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 they are suffering and wanting to get out of it...
And it is not possible to give an answer if there is no question...
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 at FalconBlanco we need to relate and respond
out of our individual condition. Here it shows, who we are as a result
of all the influences we have accumulated in our life 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 there is not the usual confirmation given
from the surrounding. There might not 'like minded' and 'kindred spirits'
around to reflect and confirm oneself... This gives 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,
used to continue in one's old games or adapting 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.
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 one encounters.
This is a challenge and to live and experience this in
conditions within the usual social setup it is also possible, even though
the whole social system is confirming and strengthening 'personalities'
within the frame of forms and mindsets. People confirm each other, whatever
they do or with whom they meet, using each other for their need to be confirmed.
The same has happened here at FalconBlanco long enough and we must make
it clear that who wants to live here together with us, must be conscious
about this personality game.

Updated:
At
this moment we don't except volunteers and visitors, only those who want
to come with the intention to become long term members and who complete
the conditions mentioned before!
What we
are doing at FalconBlanco beside maintaining the place and ourselves?
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 independency 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. We plan a series of videos to offer
information.
All what we do and
distribute is for free, never there is money involved. All members 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 wherever 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...
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.
We have to deal with
all the personal problems we are carrying with us when living here. We
are supporting each other and our common goal is to be of help for others
and the urge for ourselves to get out of worn out habits and mindsets.
This is real work and not everybody is capable for it, - confronting
oneself.
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 no frames offered 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 is no way to avoid misunderstanding and so expectations will be desappointed
when these are not be confirmed by one's personal experience when living
at FalconBlanco, because the reality here is different. So part of the
work is to creatively work with the dilemma showing up. (It must be said
that few people are capable to respond in a creative way, mostly they are
defending their established self image and old way to see the world and
themselves and so they might react with disappointment, so we need to find
out in how far people are ready before they come.)
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 we
will answer: No, it is not!
Because we are not trying to live a concept. Our 'coming together' is part
of the way we are living. Many years of experience have shown that most
people have problems when their expectations are not meeting with reality
and is different from dreams and concepts. This is a necessary step one
must have completed, before one can go further to realize a state of being
that is based on *reality*, - that goes beyond any description with words...
At FalconBlanco we
are not living concepts, we are relating 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 belief 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. Real work is only
possible when connected 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 might 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 that 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,
non violent and non 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 live 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 conditions.
Living at FalconBlanco, 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 doing some recycling.
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. -
Therefore 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...
What
you can do to become a long term member?
We welcome people
who are seriously interested to heal
themselves and who also feel the urge to help and support
others. People who want 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.
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 better
to hold back.
We must insist on:
 NO
tobacco NO
drugs
NO alcoholics
NO money making
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!
It has shown that people
were lying about their addictions and when being here they were hiding
with it. We must tell you very clear: If this shows up and you can be sure
that you will not be able to hide it, - you have to leave immediately!
It is
essential that people who come to FalconBlanco are interested in meditation
and practicing it. Who is not interested must stay away. So then this is
one of the conditions to be here. 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 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 these disappointments
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 therefore you feel attracted, then let me tell you that you are totally
wrong.
To be able to understand
why it is so
difficult to find the *right* people for FalconBlanco, you can read an
email exchange about it. Click here:
Repeatedly I was told
that my writings sound too harsh and that it rejects people who might be
interested to join... I agree, this might feel harsh and too direct, but
I have spend the last thirty five years giving all my energy into my intention
with this place and people coming and going. I don't say that it was 'wasted'
energy, because having to do with people let me learn a lot, but I believe
that I have learned enough now and indeed it would be wasting energy to
continue with the same experience. So I prefer that people feel not attracted
and stay away, because not understanding my position and expression, shows
that they are still caught in their image world and so for sure wouldn't
feel comfortable here...
Updated 10. 10. 2011:
FalconBlanco, as
it is described on this pages, is an utopia experiment, an intention like
this seems not possible to be realized, that means to bring it down into
our daily life. At least not in our present times. It looks very much,
that there are not enough people who are ready and willing to participate.
After thirty six years of trying to find such human *beings*, I must come
to this conclusion.
At this moment we
are only six permanent members, to function well, we need at least six
more. Then we could also welcome guests and volunteers, but now this is
not possible, because the group energy is not stable and strong enough.
