Before and AfterOne of my bigger projects was our own home in South Africa. I started off with a great solid house with tons of potentials, the most extravagant views and a marvellous position right under The Twelve Apostle mountains - an extension of Table Mountain.
To create a Sanctuary, all that was needed was the completion of the landscaping and garden architecture: a versatile pool, a fireplace, a gazebo, recreation and meditation area, and a meditation path through local vegetation.
"Hei ho, and off to work we go..."
Before and after
Just when everything was completed, friends, family and like minded Seekers have come for recreation, workshops and personal relaxation time and the first seasons had weathered this Sanctuary, people below decided to build the most outrageous building with three stories... so high, that it blocked not only our views, but also the flow of healthy energies...
It was such a painful experience. We had invited those new neighbours to see how our place feels like, we had shared with them our vision of the creation of a "Temple" for spiritual and non spiritual Beings; we trusted that they would be in harmony and never asked for the architectural plans - BECAUSE they promised to respect our needs...
The result: EGO before Essence. Already in the first 6 months living in this monstrous house, they started to feel uncomfortable... planted trees and blocked more views of people living higher up then them.... More separation... so sad.
