SACHA - A STORY OF FAITH


Sacha - I still don´t know how old he is, maybe in his end thirties – went over land to the Holy Land… from Firenze, Italy. Many years ago, after a very exciting life where he had experienced all sorts of beautiful and crazy things, he made a decision. He said “ I am going to experience how it is to walk barefoot”… For 8 (!!!) entire years he never bare shoes. Out of choice. No matter if it did snow, of if he went through the hot desert sand… He even went through a fire-test… and walked on hot coals a few times… What did that teach him… A lesson that your mind can be master over your body… But of course this was not the only lesson learned… Just imagine, would you walk into any kind of office or to an official meeting… or into a supermarket… or just about anywhere else then the beach and in your bathroom without shoes? Could you take the looks and thoughts of the people around you ? What kind of a lesson can you learn there… To be confident in yourself… To detach from what people think about you… To trust, you can make it, even under the most difficult situations… I think you will be able to trust more and more in yourself and at the same time become more and more humble.

Sacha – for an entire year, he did not touch any money. This was another choice – day by day… but it became 365 days in a row - that after he had experienced the material riches of the world – he wanted to see how it is, when you have nothing. NOTHING! … No money in your pocket. Not even a penny. Along with his dress he did take only a tooth brush, a soap and a T-Shirt. Not even a second pair of pants or alike… No sleeping bag, no iso-matress, no shoes, no jacket, no NOTHING…. Just: COMPLETE FAITH. Faith that the right things will be provided to him. Sometimes he was invited into houses of strangers, other times he slept outside… anywhere… no matter how cold or warm it was… And he still is alive… He made it…

About a year ago he had a very bad motorbike accident. His knee broke, his leg needed to be fixed… Doctors said he would never be able to walk normally again… But he did train and train his legs… And now… you know the story already… he came over land from Firenze to the Holy Land. Partly by train, also hitchhiking, but walking also major parts on his “weak” legs… Getting stronger and stronger every day… Such is the power of faith…

With 50 Euro in his pocket (no bank account) he feels like a rich man… and he has the aura of someone who has everything needed in life. He creates abundance in his mind. And things fall into place… There is something invisible… Divine… that substains him… that is, what he feels and experiences…

I feel very blessed that I met Sacha and hope through sharing parts of his life-experiences with you, you receive from it, what YOU need… I invite you to pass on this story, to inspire others and write a comment. Thanks.
