Quote by Friedensreich Hundertwasser

“A person should be buried only half a meter, or two feet, below the surface. Then a tree should be planted there. He should be buried in a coffin that decays so that when you plant a tree on top the tree will take something out of his substance and change it into tree-substance. When you visit the grave you don’t visit a dead man, you visit a living being who was just transformed into a tree. You say, “This is my grandfather, the tree is growing well, fantastic.” You can develop a beautiful forest that will be more beautiful than a normal forest because the trees will have their roots in graves. It will be a park, a place for pleasure, a place to live, even a place to hunt.”

Rather, the majority of their medicine consisted of only one ingredient. Sometimes, they would take another substance to assist the medicine or make it taste better. This was and still is, the case with most of the medicine used by many cultures such as Arabs, Turks, Indians and nomads.”

“Healing and a reunification with our unblemished Soul, occur by the hand of grace. There is nothing to integrate nor to understand. Wholeness was gifted to us at birth and is never truly taken away. The power of the present, prayerful moment- within the stillness of your open heart, will know when it is time. Open the heart and the Soul to the energy of miracles.”

“Es ist für die Heilung nicht relevant, was wir früher erlebt haben. Wir müssen auch nicht versuchen, uns daran zu erinnern, Das, worunter wir leiden, erschaffen wir uns tagtäglich, in jedem Moment neu. Es handelt sich dabei um einen unbewussten Mechanismus, mit dem wir ständig Distanz zu anderen Menschen, aber vor allem auch zu uns selbst herstellen, indem wir unbewusst glauben, dass von jemandem, der uns nahekommt, grundsätzlich eine Gefahr ausgeht.”
