Auferstanden aus Ruinen

As Germany celebrates this autumn 20 years of fall of the wall I want to remember to the national hymn of so called German Democratic Republic. Wonderful music and some good lyrics.:

Auferstanden aus Ruinen

The Natinal Hymn (Anthem) of GDR

German Lyrics:

Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Und der Zukunft zugewandt,
Lass uns dir zum Guten dienen,
Deutschland, einig Vaterland.
Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen,
Und wir zwingen sie vereint,
Denn es muss uns doch gelingen,
Dass die Sonne schön wie nie
|: Über Deutschland scheint. :|

2. Strophe

Glück und Frieden sei beschieden
Deutschland, unserm Vaterland.
Alle Welt sehnt sich nach Frieden,
Reicht den Völkern eure Hand.
Wenn wir brüderlich uns einen,
Schlagen wir des Volkes Feind!
Lasst das Licht des Friedens scheinen,
Dass nie eine Mutter mehr
|: Ihren Sohn beweint. :|

3. Strophe

Lasst uns pflügen, lasst uns bauen,
Lernt und schafft wie nie zuvor,
Und der eignen Kraft vertrauend,
Steigt ein frei Geschlecht empor.
Deutsche Jugend, bestes Streben
Unsres Volks in dir vereint,
Wirst du Deutschlands neues Leben,
Und die Sonne schön wie nie
|: Über Deutschland scheint

Happy 20 years, Germany! Thanks for the song, Albert. It is good to remember these things.

Love,

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

its a great day for Germany, Nicole. Exactly 20 years ago this happened at German embassy in Prague:

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

“4500 East Germans had taken refugee on the area of the West-German embassy in Prague, Czech Republic, with a view to be permitted to leave for West-Germany. The video shows the West-German foreign minister at that time, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, standing on the embassy's balcony and telling the refugees that their departure permission had been negociated.

Translation:
“We're trying for a solution, but I don't want to give a statement now. First I'd like to speak to the Germans from the GDR who are currently at the embassy.”

“We have come to you to tell you that today, your departure…” (rest is drowned in cheers)“

The collective experiences around these weeks in 1989 are so strong here that Vision Summit 2009 in Berlin has its motto:

Another Wall to Fall

My very personal feeling this year 2009 , at this very moment is:

Now  the window of opportunity is open here for creating future. No longer beeing bound to historic reflexes -though they are necessary for Germany -and boldly initiating new perspectives in culture and politics.

Its a new psychophysics too. Without feeling it nothing can be changed. Like in the process of core transformation:):)Last time it was in 2006 during FIFA world championship here. This overwhelming new and fresh we feeling was an early indicator of what is possible.

Its a great power. Far beyond any mere enthusiasm.Iits a magmatic stream which will break through the surface stronger and stronger.

Shaping it will be the real poltical alchemy.

Best,
Albert

Albert, I love what you say here, especially:


Its a great power. Far beyond any mere enthusiasm.Iits a magmatic stream which will break through the surface stronger and stronger.

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

Yes, Nicole.

In this summers greatintegralawakening.com series it became clear for me that conventional transcendence, even progressive spirituality on the one side and conventional grassrooting, top down agency, skill full collaboration and mediation are not enough any more.

And this alchemy needs hard truths too. Ability to deal with hotspots, tough personal committement, readiness to embody it all exitentially. Nobody will go this journey without even profound errors mistakes and birth pains.

Nobody who is clinging to poltical and spiritual correctness.

To work with large scale systems change is in its infancy. its far more than “Come together” attitude. Or calling for global shifts. And mantras like “Be the change”.

it has to deal with thousands of timelines. As Vaclav Havel once said. Without capitulating in front of this monstrous dimensions.

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

Hard truths, for sure, Albert. Thank you so much for this!

Love,

Nicole

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

Nicole, and hard truths are making the way free for fresh perspectives. Germany is coming back, no doubt.

And the newly gained soul strength, from decades of healing, understanding and liberating the collective shadow will and can be a gift for the world.

The re-connection to 3 centuries of prototyping evolutionary spirituailty and lots of emrgence in business, culture, poltics and science, medicine and arts…..will produce new emrgence and relevance even for European Integration.

And even more. it can liberate the feeling of identity in all people around the world with German antecedents. In US alone roundabout 20 percent of all Americans have roots over more generations to the German speaking culture.

Jung spoke about the German thunderbolt. And, in fact, it exists. it lives and breathes.

Best,
Albert

Re: Auferstanden aus Ruinen

The German thunderbolt! Yes…

Thank you for allowing us to glimpse a meta-meta-level of Earth's process these days.
