who I am and what I need to do to become REALLY happy.Never
experienced something like this before. A really beautiful and
useful experience. Thanx!Trudy Moricz:Mieke showed me that rough
moments in life can be positive springboards as well. The session

do, and how to use this in a positive way.Monique Somers:Im glad I
met Mieke! With her creative brain, she gave me new perspectives

v e l o p e d a l o tWe became stronger. Found out how to beat
terrifying animals,diseases, build stronger houses, invent new
technologies, etc. Wediscovered how to defend ourselves better and
better. The best way tomake things controllable is by making them
predictable, or rectilinear.Things need to be clear >its all
about keeping and strengthening the safety we just obtained.

y !For television, funny cartoons, theme restaurants, fun parks,
movies, wild artprojects, theatre and other things that provide an
escape from the boringrectilinear, but also safe and predictable
world we created.
11. Si t u a t i o n | An d t h a n k g o d f o r s p i r i t u
a l e s c a p e sFortune telling telephone lines, horoscopes,
plastic Buddhas, expensivemeditation lessons, and other things that
take us away from the emptyrectilinear but safe and predictable
world we created even if its just for abrief moment.
12. Si t u a t i o n | So t h e n we g o t i t a l l c o v e r
e d , r i g h t . . ?Its wishful thinking. We are strong and very
smart in compensatingthe boredom that rectilinear living brings us.
But natures laws arentrectilinear - and they are much stronger.
Maybe we forgot. But we AREnature. Its what forms our brain, and
shapes our mind.
13. Si t u a t i o n | Re c t i l i n e a r i t s j u s t n o t
u sDoes this brain look like it is built to make only rectilinear
connections?Of course not!
14. Si t u a t i o n | Re c t i l i n e a r i t s j u s t n o t
u sThis is actually good news!Because how can we solve problemsif
everybody is thinking in the samedirection? Who will come up
withsolutions when nature strikes withnew dangers? We are not
THATmuch in control as we think.So, partly good and bad news,
youmight say.
15. Si t u a t i o n | Na v i g a t i n gIf the sole road we
can take is the road ahead,we can only move straightforward: the
road our mindcreated when we were forced to thinkrectilinear
(survival).
16. Si t u a t i o n | Ab o u t c o n t r o l l e d d i r e c t
i o nWe narrowed.There are not that many life roads fromA to B
anymore, so they are very crowded.If you get off the road though,
its prettyquiet. The system became so narrow thatmost of us dont
even fit in anymore.Isnt that just weird? We arent goodenough to
beat our own system. We TRYto fit in, no matter what.The ideology
of the world wecreated, became more important.Cant we just admit
that it was a goodidea in the beginning but maybe we got abit
carried away..?It got us out of balance.
17. Si t u a t i o n | Ab o u t c o n t r o l l e d d i r e c t
i o nWhat ifThe normal road in life is notonly starting to slow us
down, but getsREALLY blocked?That is what I thought when I was a
kid.We became so good at controlling thingsby making them
rectilinear (controllable),that it becomes our biggest weakness.WHO
will help us to move into otherdirections and build new roads when
weget stuck?HOW can we even do that when we areshaping rectilinear
brains at school?
18. Si t u a t i o n | H o w w e n o r m a l l y b e h a v e w
h e n w e g e t s t u c kWe start to get angry if we lose direction
or the normal road doesntbring us where we want to go anymore.We
dont want to know we are all co-creator of the problem.Even if its
by not doing enough to change things. So we startto blaim others:
they did things wrong.We get irritated if we cant move as fast as
we want to.The government promised us we would end up there, not
here!
19. Si t u a t i o n | H o w w e n o r m a l l y b e h a v e w
h e n w e g e t s t u c kThere is no reason to blame people for
actinghuman and not respond perfectly to blockedroads. Theres
mainly one thing to blame:I n s e c u r i t yIt makes us
unnecessary afraid of things thatmost of the time arent so bad
after all.Fear is a bad adviser and creates negative energy.It
keeps us trapped on the same, blocked road.We become insecure when
normal roads arentworking anymore;the ones we thought were safe.And
then it starts to work against us, and slows usdown.Now we need
enough self esteem to get off theroad and get a new sense of
direction.Being trapped: with children theres no way around it;
thediscomfort they experience is as clear as day.
20. Si t u a t i o n | How t o g e t mo r e s e l f e s t e
em?You can do this by: Getting to know yourself better Getting more
self understanding In short:finding out how Great you are

22. Up g r e a t | Be l i e fEv e r y o n e h a s a h e a r tA
beautiful symbol we all carry within.We know about our physical
heart.Upgreat reveals the mental heart. Makes itstronger and
induces more positive energywithin yourself & others. It grows
your self-esteem.This might sound spiritual. But it is actually
verypractical. In fact, it was discovered accidentally,when I was
working on a business case revealingthe heart of a worldwide
organisation.The result was amazing.
23. Up g r e a t | W h a t s G r e a t a b o u t G r e a t n e
s sIt takes about 4 hours to reveal your mental heart:your personal
Greatness.Your Greatness gives you a strong sense ofdirection and
will help you understand: Why some things went right or wrong in
life Why you have the friends you have Why you favor or hate things
Why some people touch your heart strongerYoull discover theres no
reason to over-judge yourself.Everythings just a matter of natural
fits and reaction,so you dont need to be a harsh self-critic all
the time. Thiswill only lower your self-esteem - and unnecessarily
so.
24. Up g r e a t | Imp o r t a n t t o k n owWhen you know your
Greatness, you cant deny your own needs anymore.Sound a little
daunting? Watch this video and get inspired.
25. HOW TOHELP/ENJOYUPGREAT
26. Up g r e a t | Go a lMission:Making people believe in their
own Great and beautiful values.By showing them the beauty they
already carry within, they can get a more solid grip onwhats inside
leaving them less dependent on the things outside. This enables
them tolead their own positive life, fueled by the strengths
within.Revealing Peoples Greatness works face-2-face, but I want to
expand it.This is why I made this presentation, am working on a
book & whyI want to start an education program to teach people
how touncover Greatness in others.
27. Up g r e a t | How t o ma k e a p o s i t i v e d i f f e r
