Hey Steemians!
After 4 months here, i thought it is time to introduce myself. #introduceyourself :)
I am Roland, born on Nov. 5th 1984, and i live on plane-t earth in the middle of Europe, Austria. (No Kangurus here) :P
Since my childhood i asked myself: "What the fuck is this here?" - Even if i had a very nice childhood and very loving an caring (but not very awaken) parents, i always felt a little bit "wrong" on this plane of existence.
I wasn't sure at all if this is just a dream, or what i should or should not do here. The system, we all live in gave me always the feeling that i am not worthy or that i need to be better than someone else and that i need !!MONEY!! to be happy. But as you all know that more than a lie... (yes, we could talk here for several hours without finding an end).
But what should i say? As a child, waking every morning in a safe environment with "everything" you need, you should be happy, because you can buy stuff and you don't need to feel like a child in Afrika... Well, yes, maybe we should be happy, or proud or whatever, but the truth for me was always: Something is wrong here, but i don't know what it is...
So i decided to ask questions and tried to find out what it was that bothered me. With the age of 7-10 i had a lot of nightmares and i always felt like a "evil witch", snakes or something else would like to catch me. But of course, as a child, i had no idea what this was all about - i just thought its normal and just something my mind made up.
At this time, the Wizard of OZ form Frank L. Baum was my favorite story, and i loved the characters within, but i couldn't understand the deeper meaning and the occult messages behind it... The story followed me through all the years until today... (i will about the occult stuff on my feed a extra article)
After "growing up" and being "normal" and perfectly brainwashed from society - i felt and talked like everyone else in Austria: "Everything is fine, everything is normal, just go to work and do your stuff" - "If you work hard, you can reach the stars and you can buy everything you imagine, but only if you work hard - DO NOT listen to your heart, just follow the money track"...
After a few years in the IT, working for the biggest Enterprises in Austria, i decided to first go to the University to study "Quantum Physics" to find more answers for my questions... But after 3 weeks i found out that this path led me to even more question, but brought no answers... I just felt really strange, because everything was so complex and the always told us that we cannot understand that because that is "serious science" and we need to study years to even understand even a tiny bit of that.... Well, i dropped out because it just felt wrong...
After that i decided to open up a own IT-Company in Austria and it worked very well, but after 3-4 years i realized what is going on with the fraud social and tax money system. At the same time i started to ask questions about eating animals and i started yoga in 2012.
First i thought, everything would be better when i realize whats really going on around me. After 6 months of Yoga i quit eating meat and 6 months later i felt it is time to drop dairy and eggs and other animal products. It really helped me to be more conscious in daily life and i felt better with my yoga practice.
Its like waking up out of a nightmare. Suddenly you can FEEL your Heart and you can see whats going on around you... It is actually very insane whats going on at this plane of existence. (... a lot to talk about here....)
I did a Yoga Teacher Training with Peter Clifford from Tasmania, who lived 50 years in old towns with old traditions between rishis (sages). I did as much yoga with as much teachers as i could to find out whats wrong with the world.... (And there is nothing wrong with me, or you...)
Then i realized how much dogma is involved in yoga, society and daily life.
I asked myself:
"Okay Roland, now you are vegan and a yogi! HOW the HELL could the suffering of be so long hidden from my awareness? And why is there so less progress in Yoga if i put so much effort in it. (And i did i "right" as the teachers told me)
After a few minutes of thinking about that, i had an so called "answer", but not really:
"Okay, everything i know is a fucking LIE - The told me so many lies that i did not even understand that you have to kill a conscious being who can love and feel to get food... Well, if that can be hidden in plain sight - what ELSE is going on here?
And again, after that question, i asked even more questions about nearly everything. I started to become a free thinker and i am not sure if i am really "free-thinking" or if i am still trapped in old patterns.
Yoga and veganism helped me a lot, but my life really changed after i met a wonderful woman - Iwona :*. We Both met at a friends pant-based party in vienna. We now live together in Salzburg and Vienna (i am traveling back and forth). We both plant based and we are deep into yoga where we found A LOT of Dogma and deception, but especially misalignment of the spine and the pelvic floor.
Through our Friends Desi Springer and John Friend, we got a new Yoga alignment system called "Sri Daiva The Art Of the Bowspring" - We are both very happy to met this two amazing Teachers in 2016 and now in 2017 again. We can feel a real difference within the body and we decided to start teaching the new alignment in 2017 in Vienna and Salzburg.

Today is the 2nd of July 2017 and i still think "What hell is going on".
A lot changed since 2012 and i am very happy with my love Iwona. She has such a strong, big, radiant and i am very grateful that i am the one she loves to spend time with. Together we just always ask a lot of questions about society. I would say that we both have a deeper understand of who we humans truly are.... (But still, it is not getting easier if you know more..)
I have still my own company where i am offering IT-Consulting focused on Blockchain technologies to get rid of central (fraud) systems to liberate this plane of existence. As a Yoga-teacher i am sharing my knowledge and my passion for the body, mind and the breath and i am always be focused on trying to be as open minded as possible.
This was a wonderful VEGAN SUPER MARIO BIRTHDAY CAKE: Loved it!
So if you have any questions, you can ask me everything about the Wizard of OZ, Yoga, Veganism, Blockchain and Metaphysics. But please no "New Age, everything is one and bliss talk" - It should be like that, but it is NOT reality at the moment. -Its just insane what's going on.
What else did i have to say? Thanks for being you, thanks for reading.
I can see the light within you,
many blessings, stay strong, ask questions,
Roland
