And so we begin together...

on this day, in this moment that flows – in this moment in which you come in, in which I, Sophia, come in, in this moment in which we meet each other, in which we share what there is to share. You come in with everything that you deal with, with everything that surrounds you in this moment: your thoughts, your everyday life, the challenges you meet or the ones you just left behind. All of this comes in this space right now and is part of the moment.

I welcome you into this space. I welcome everyone who is present today - the ones that are here for the first time, the ones that have been here before. You are welcome just as you are. With everything that you are dealing with, with everything that is touching you. You are welcome! You may sit down wherever you like. Find a place you like, a comfortable place, a place where you can be YOU. With everything that is part of you, with everything you bring along.

We touch one another, every one of us touches everyone else. You touch the people around you and even the people on the other side of the earth, just by being present. I would like to invite you to feel this touch for a moment, use your attention to feel, that there is so much there that touches you right now. And this touch has a very special quality. It is not the kind of touch that demands something from you. And it's not the kind of touch that is subject to a condition. It is more like a leaf falling from a tree and touching your head on it’s way to the ground. It touches you. It touches you so simply, so innocently. Can you feel how innocent and how simple this touch is, the touch of all that is? This touch does not demand anything, does not expect anything from you. It just touches you.

Today there is such fear of this touch. Many people have withdrawn into their cocoon feeling threatened by touch, as if it were intruding their life, their privacy, their own space.

I invite you to feel how innocent and pure this touch can be. Just like the water wants to touch you when you swim, or when you walk on the sand and the waves come to meet your feet. As innocent as that, this is how the presence of other people wants to touch you. The presence of the earth, of nature. The presence of your family, your friends, your neighbours. The presence of the people you don't like, of the ones that disturb you or make you angry. They just want to touch you. Even the technology, the electronics, the transmission waves of radios, of the internet, the electricity. All these things simply want to touch you. Simply just to touch.

Allow yourself to feel how innocent and pure this touch can be, how you don't have to pull back anymore, you don't have to defend yourself by building up walls. Because there is nothing to defend yourself from. There is only the touch of life. The touch of other people, the touch of so many different things that are just there.

Nothing is expected from you. This touch is not changing you. It is not disturbing your personal rhythm, your growth. This touch is there. Like the chair you sit in, like the computer you work on and the car you drive. The touch is there. And deep down inside you, you are yearning for this touch. Deep down inside you there might even be the feeling of loneliness. A part of you that is so perceiving, so open, so receptive to everything that surrounds you, has been inside this small cave, in the cocoon within yourself for such a long time. Withdrawn, defending itself. This part of you feels lonely. This part of you can't wait to be allowed to feel the world around it again, to feel the world within you again. It can't wait to be allowed to be touched by everything that is surrounding you, by everything that is a part of you. Something inside you -an innocent, receptive part of yourself- is yearning to be touched by life. To be allowed to feel again. To feel the things surrounding you, the food you eat, the music you hear, the city you live in, your past, your future. To feel visible things again, to feel invisible things. This is what this part of you is longing for.

And you might want to take this moment to allow this part of you to feel again. To let this part of you know that it's okay to be touched - to perceive. To let this part of you know that you are not in a state of war or conflict, in which it is necessary to defend yourself or to pull back in order not to be hurt or attacked. If you like, let this part of you know that you are getting beyond all that, reaching your peace, your own being. Reaching that space where things can touch you again. That space where you don't need to fight against your feeling, where everything gets the space and the importance it needs. Where everything that exists is allowed to be there.

This moment now is a good opportunity to let your self feel that. To perceive how happy this part inside of you gets, being able to come up again, to come out of its hiding place. How happy this creative, receptive part inside of you is, this part that can perceive so much, that is so awake and expressive. Feel how happy it is to open its eyes and ears again, to be able to fulfill you again, to unfold within you. This is all it was longing for. It's that simple.

Many of you have often asked yourselves why it is so difficult to perceive, to feel. Why you sometimes don't know how your partner feels. Why some things just don't make sense. It's because you don't feel them. Many of you are wondering why you seem to have so little connection in some areas, so little feeling in some areas, so little security concerning some areas of life.

I invite you to watch how this part inside of you starts to wake up. How your senses wake up again, your sense of what surrounds you in your life, for what moves and grows in your life. Slowly and carefully your senses open up, your attentiveness opens up, your perception of all that is. For all that is. For the things you like and for the things you don't like. They are nothing more than just there in your life. They are there. And they just can't wait to be perceived again.

It's not about making you like everything in your life, or making you agree to everything. Today I invite you to perceive everything. To feel everything that is in your life. You don't have to like it. You don't even have to agree to it being there. Simply allow yourself to perceive. To perceive your body, your bank account, your relationships, your job, your apartment, your car, your family, your past, your childhood. Everything that you consider to be blocked, everything you wish for, all your abilities. The people you don't like, the people you are afraid of. Whatever you are afraid of. Simply perceive it. Perceive it. Let it be where it is. Perceive it. Perceive that it's there, that it is touching you.

An innocent, soft touch by everything that is there. By everything that is surrounding you. It belongs to you. It is a part of you- a good reason to perceive it.

If you want to get to know yourself better, to understand yourself better, who you really are, then perceive yourself. Perceive everything you feel, everything that's surrounding you, everything that's touching you. In this moment. Perceive it.

This perceiving is a bit like giving in, surrendering, becoming soft. For you see: you have built so many walls in your perception. Because you thought that some things aren't good. That some things want to harm you. That some things are enemies. And you built walls to protect you from all those supposed enemies. You learned to defend yourself, to pull back, to hide. And now, together we begin to perceive – to perceive beyond these walls – to perceive the hidden things again, the suppressed things. It is like giving in. It is like getting soft. It's like the moment when walls break down, when the doors open, when understanding and compassion are there.

You see: and that doesn’t mean you have to like everything. It does not mean you have to be happy that there are people in your life you don't like, or that you are not enjoying your job. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it or agree to it or that it' s going to stay like that forever. It's all about simply perceiving. Perceiving this specific aspect, this part of your life, of your experiences. Everything you perceive is connected to you. Everything you perceive can be in line with you. Everything you perceive can go on unfolding within your rhythm, can catch up with your rhythm. Let yourself feel: the parts you have suppressed, the energies, the people, the things in your life you are not eager to feel are just not in line with you, they don't have your rhythm.

It' like ocean currents. Each current has its own rhythm. One flows in circles like a spiral, like a vortex. Another one flows from west to east. Another from south to north. Every current moves in its own rhythm. Every single thing you perceive is joining your rhythm again.

If you begin to perceive the streams and energies in your life that are not in the same rhythm as you are, they will begin gently and carefully to change their rhythm and their quality until they join yours. Until they catch up with you, until they can be a part of you and of your rhythm. This is all those parts of you are longing for. The parts that have been hiding, the parts that were suppressed, forgotten or disliked. They are yearning to flow with you. They want to be beautiful like you, they want to be as open and alive as you are. And they can, if you perceive them.

This is what this invitation is about. To perceive things that are uncomfortable to you. To perceive things you don't love or just don't like, things that frighten you, things you consider to be your enemies.

The neighbour you fight with every day and night, for years now. Can you perceive this neighbour? To perceive him or her the way this person is. Can you perceive your hate, your fear, your rage? Right now. Can you perceive the fear and rage of your neighbour? Simply to perceive it. And instead of running away from it, or fighting it, instead of withdrawing into your cave, your cocoon, can you just be there and perceive? Perceive the situation, perceive yourself. Perceive your neighbour. Perceive everything that has happened so far. Simply perceive.

There is nothing to do. There is nothing you are supposed to change. Just allow yourself to perceive it. To perceive this part of your reality, your life, this part that is so uncomfortable. The part you are trying to avoid. You would give anything to get rid of this part. You would be happy if your neighbour decided to move out or you could finally move out. You really wish a miracle would happen and your neighbour would all of a sudden be out of your life.

What would happen if you give up the fight, if you stop running away from this part of your life? If you allow yourself to become still – so still. To gently arrive, to come home to yourself. To perceive. Even to allow yourself to be touched by the situation. To be touched. Just to be there and let things touch you. You see: there is no healing needed. No solution is needed. This energy in your life, this fight with your neighbour, just wants to be in line with you. This situation is LONGING to be in harmony with you. Is longing for a solution. And what if the only thing you need to do is to perceive this part of your life?

Those of you that would love to be creative, those who would love to create their own business, to bring out your ideas, your visions, your creations. Many of you are yearning to be self-employed. But at the same time you precisely avoid this part of your life. You dream of it. You think about it. You read books about self-employment, but you don't perceive your own self-employment. You say: yes, but I’m not self-employed yet, how can I perceive it?

I invite you to feel: the first step on the road to your self-employment is perceiving it. Perceiving it as it is today. Maybe it's so small, hidden in the darkest corner of your cellar. Or maybe it's within your grasp. Maybe it's threatening you, scaring you. Maybe it's inviting you, and it's soft and loving. Whatever this energy might feel like to you, you are invited to perceive it. To perceive it, so that it can be a part of your life again. Your self-employment would love to be part of your life. Would love to unfold within your rhythm, to grow. It would love to come into your life. And how can it come in, if you are not perceiving it, if you are not letting it touch you?

Allow yourself to feel it, to perceive it as it is now, in this moment. It's not about changing anything. It's not about directing something or creating the right conditions or solving things. This moment is all about perceiving. Just perceiving. Let yourself be touched by your self-employment as it is today. Touched by a part of your life that was long forgotten. Maybe even by that fear, or by helplessness. It' s about letting it touch you, perceiving it.

Perceiving is one of the blessings of feminine energy. One of its attributes, a characteristic of feminine energy. The feminine energy within you knows: everything she perceives will grow. Everything she perceives will unfold. Everything she perceives will strike roots, will flower, will ripen, expand. Everything she perceives will ripen. This is an attribute of feminine energy. An attribute of yours as well, as you bear the feminine energy within you, it's part of you. Part of your creativity, part of the love within you. This feminine energy within you invites you to allow yourself to be touched by everything that is you. It invites you to perceive that there is nothing to do.

Today is a good day to perceive, to become aware. Today is a good day to perceive parts of your life again that have been in the dark for so long.

Have you ever perceived the depression that bursts into your life every few weeks or once a month? Or were you busy fighting it, suffering from it, thinking you are doing something wrong and you aren't good enough? Have you ever thought of just perceiving your depression? To let yourself be touched by what is so eagerly trying to become a part of your life. It is so zealous to be part of you again, that it knocks on your door every month, inviting you again and again to perceive it, to let it touch you.

Things come in into your life with different faces, in different costumes. Some things come in costumes you like, some of them have an appearance you don't like. That doesn’t make them less precious or less worthy. They just come with a different melody, with a different image into your life. It's the other half of your life that can' t wait to be perceived. It is desperately waiting to be part of you again. The dynamics, the expression, the form of such things is different. Perhaps it's the days you don't feel very well, the days you don' t feel secure, and you notice that everything moves very quickly, or that everything is changing in a way that is not comfortable for you, and so then perhaps you feel confused or maybe you feel lonely.

Have you ever thought of just perceiving what is going on such a day, of just letting yourself be touched by it? Have you ever thought of forgetting for a moment that you don' t like it or that it's not exactly the way you wished it would be, and simply just perceive what’s there? Simply just feel. You don't need any special preparation for that. You don’t need to go to a special room to perceive it. You don’t need to wear something else or to be alone or to be at any specific place. It doesn’t have to be quiet where you are. Any given moment is a good moment to perceive. To perceive things that may be hurting. Or perhaps to perceive that there is something in your life that you want more than anything else. And you wish for it so strongly. And there is so much love and so much desire in that wish, that you do not dare to perceive it. That you are frightened of this wish touching you. Afraid to be touched by what is most dear to you, by what you wish for the most.

Some of you wish for a family, or for a baby. Others wish to be independent and run their own business. Some of you wish for a house, an apartment, a boat, a trip, a partner with whom you are happy, someone to spend time with. Some of you would love to make a new start but still don't know exactly how.

Right now is a good moment, a good opportunity to dare to perceive your wish. Whatever it is you love so much that you keep it in the most hidden corner of your life. The thing that is so important to you that you don't even dare to dream of it. The one thing that is the most meaningful. Can you perceive it? Can you allow yourself to feel that it's there? Can you allow yourself to perceive it, to feel all the emotions connected to it? Your fear, your anger, your disappointment, pain, joy, ease – to perceive everything connected to it.

You don't need to do anything. You don't need to do anything. Give this gift to yourself: perceive. Let yourself be touched by what is most dear to you. Let it touch you. It's just there. It's a part of your life, just like the things you don' t like. However, you might not have perceived it for such a long time that it came to exist in a different rhythm than your own. Some of you would say it's in another dimension, in another state. If you allow yourself to perceive it, it can come into your dimension. It can breathe your rhythm and unfold, can become part of your life. And you can breathe in your own rhythm and let it unfold and become part of your life. And there's nothing more for you to do than to perceive it.

Perceiving is a blessing, it's a gift. It is such an obvious, such a simple, basic gift. You may have noticed that many of the attributes of feminine energy seem to be so natural to you. So simple. Perfectly plain. As simple as your perception. You may have also noticed that, although it’s so simple, so plain, to simply perceive is also the most difficult, the most challenging thing – to let yourself be touched by what you like and by what you don' t like. By your deepest wishes and dreams. To be touched by the people surrounding you, by the people you love. And also by those you don't like at all. To let your self be touched, so you can perceive.

This is a way to transform your life, to fill your life with your creativity, to create it new. This is like a new beginning. And you can start right away. And every new day, whenever you notice that there is something moving in a different rhythm, take a moment in order to perceive it. Take a moment to let yourself be touched by it and to then observe what happens. Observe what happens if you perceive your body every day. If you perceive what you like on your own body and also what you don't like. To perceive what aches or what frightens you. If only you would take this time to just perceive, to give your body the chance to be part of you again. Part of your life, of your rhythm.

It's a wonderful energy, this energy that is unfolding among us here – in this space, where we perceive each other, where we are touched. In this space where we don't do or change anything and yet so much is changing, so much is happening.

It is a pleasure for me, Sophia, to be here and to spend this time with you.

Later on we will have time for your questions.

And so we begin...

Part 2: Questions and Answers with Sophia

And so we begin together with the second part of our gathering...

... the questions and answers that we share, perceiving them and letting them touch us. And what could be more appropriate now than to begin by perceiving yourself. Perceive yourself with everything that you are. With everything you are aware of. With everything you know about yourself and everything you don't know. With all the shadowy things, the ones you don't like to perceive, the ones you have probably been suppressing.

What could be more appropriate than to just perceive all that and allow yourself to be touched? To be touched by your own being. Right now. Allow yourself to be touched by your own self. What a beautiful moment this shared moment is, the moment you share with yourself. What a beautiful moment it is, when you are with yourself and perceive, feel yourself, when you are present, simply being with yourself. Yes.

And so we begin with the questions and answers. We invite you to bring in your questions. Sometimes your questions will be answered by questions other people ask. Sometimes we will be answering your questions. And sometimes you will ask questions and they will not be answered. And sometimes you will have the answers even before you ask. This is the game. This is the magic of life.

Answers are a present, a gift you can give yourself. Compassionate answers are an even greater gift you can give yourself. Answers that inspire you are the greatest gift you can give yourself. The answers never come from me, Sophia. The answers come from you, they belong to you. I can help you perceive them, see them, I can help you allow yourself to be touched by them.

The answer I point out is just one possible answer out of many possible answers. We say this in advance and are now happy to hear the first question.

Question 1:
Dear Sophia! Thank you so much for answering all of our questions so lovingly and compassionately. Here is my question, it's a question about the therapeutic method of Family Constellation (B.Hellinger). I took part in these sessions and have had the experience -as many other participants have had also- that people are accounted for by their parents. During the session I experienced that this family constellation work helps solve many problems and brings in a new harmony. One of the therapists said that we come here to solve the issues of our parents, this also being the reason we chose the family we were born into. I would love to hear your view on this.

Sophia:
Thank you for this question.

There are many methods and many ways and many different approaches that are meant to help you and can help you with your growth. There are as many different methods and techniques as there are grains of sand. None of them is bad or good. They all are what they are.

The question is: what touches you? What is comfortable for you? Which method serves you the best, which one brings you closer to yourself? Which one inspires you, helps you trust in yourself? Which one helps you become the center of your life?

Being human comes along with the tendency to put things other than our own selves in the center of our lives. Our parents, certain beliefs or a specific way of thinking, a special technique, a spiritual teacher, spiritual texts, making money, our boss at work. Whatever it is, people tend to put things other than themselves in the center of their own life. Thus, a part of your life is shaped and co-created by an external factor, by an authority other than yourself.

Your parents co-created your life for you for some time in the beginning. Some of you still let your parents do this job for you. Even if your parents are long dead, or even if you don't live in the same house anymore, or even if you don't have any contact with them anymore. For many of you, your parents are still in the center of your lives. A bit like place keepers. Until that moment you decide to take up your own place again. And you are the only one to know when the moment has arrived for you to take up your own place again.

It is not wrong to let your parents define and shape your life. There is nothing wrong with that. It's just one possibility, one experience out of many different experiences you can have. Again, the question is: What would you like? What feels good to you? And when you are at the point where you find your loving energy within you, your authority, where you take your responsibility for yourself again, then you will take up the place your parents had held for you so far.

Now the second part of your question: Intentionally or not you are asking for the validity of the family constellation method. My comment on that is to say that it could be a valuable way of perceiving. Perceiving your family, the bonds in your life, the important people in your life, people you love and people you don't love. Simply perceiving all that. Allowing yourself to be touched by all that is there. Allowing everything that is to become visible.

Allowing all that is to become visible through the method of family constellation so that you can feel it and experience it is wonderful. Plus you can draw it or paint it. You may also write a story about it. You can go for a walk and allow yourself to feel and perceive the network of relations in your life. There lies a great wisdom in simply perceiving, in feeling what is there. Through your pure perception things begin to change, they begin to come in line with you.

To believe that you are supposed to re-constellate your family so harmony is brought in, is a very old and very limited belief. To believe that some people in the relations network should leave to make room for others to come in, or that your sister should have another position in the family network, or that you should have another position – such ideas are very limited, very restrictive. It's not wrong. It is what it is.

I would like to invite you to go beyond that and to feel: there is nothing for you to fix in your family or in your life. It will be fine if you just perceive what is there. To be with it, to let yourself be touched by what is there. This is a greater challenge, but the transformation is greater as well, and it is a greater opportunity for you.

Thank you for your question. Next one.

Question 2:
Dear Sophia! Since I was young I was on diets and struggled with my weight and my body. Thus the issue of food is charged with many hurtful feelings. Today I try not to restrict myself with diet plans, but I’m still not able to have a real joyful relationhip to food. Could you give me a tip on how to approach my issue of food in a new way?

Sophia:
Yes we do have a tip for you. My suggestion is that you realize: you still have a very specific goal. A huge expectation about how your relationship to food should be, how it should be ideally.

I invite you to take a moment and, instead of pushing yourself towards this goal, simply perceive what is actually there. To perceive the pain that is there, to perceive the fear that is there and the hurt that is there. To be with it, to breathe with it, and to observe how this issue, this part of your life slowly catches up with you, catches up with your own rhythm and becomes part of your joy, of your expression.

Next question.

Question 3:
Dear Sophia! Concerning being overweight, in the August channel you said: “Only when you accept things as they are and agree to them staying as they are, only then can open yourself to changes.” And then you suggest that, regarding relationships -friends or partners or whatever- you suggest that I say: “Yes, it belongs to me. Everything is here for me. I can choose with love that all these things can belong to me again.” For me, there is a contradiction between accepting things as they are and choosing what belongs to me -especially if it's something new. I would be grateful if you could help me straighten this out.

Sophia:
We invite you to become still for a moment, to gently arrive to yourself, be with yourself and perceive: there is a pain in your life. It's a pain you haven't felt for a long, long, long time. This pain is there. This pain makes you fight, makes you avoid, makes you be afraid and depend on your mind. Avoiding this pain makes you very confused and makes you keep the solution out of reach.

It is a big challenge and you have all of our compassion. However I invite you to become silent and to perceive this pain again. Perceive this pain that is making you so nervous, so frightened. This pain that is so much a part of your life, even though you’re not perceiving it.

We invite you to let this miracle happen, to allow yourself to receive this grace of perceiving this pain again. And it's not important why this pain is there, if it's true or not. Trust in yourself and dare to feel: there is something there, something that's waiting for you.

Thank you for your question.

Question 4:
Dear Sophia! I asked myself over and over again, what would be the most important or relevant question for me to ask. There is so much that touches me, and so I decided to simply ask: What would I really like to know? Thank you.

Sophia:
Thank you. The time has come for you to perceive your soul's love again. Many different things occupy your mind. However it is the love of your soul that would love to come closer to you today, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. A love that simply is there, holding you. Right now. Right where you are. A love that does not ask you to improve or change in any way first. A love that accepts you, nourishes you, a love that helps you grow.

You are just like a small plant that begins to bud, to grow. And now it's time to water this plant. To receive this love that is there waiting for you. All you need to do is to be willing. Saying yes is enough, it's all it takes to receive this love again.

Every human being finds their own way to their own love. There is no recipe, no 12-step program, no trick. There is only your yes, your willingness, your open heart to receive this love again. And breath by breath the path to lead you there will appear.

Thank you.

Question 5:
Dear Sophia! My question is about the New Children. I have observed that this issue is dealt with in a very specific way. There are the Indigo children, the Crystal children, some new schools are being established. At the same time there is a new consciousness coming into families in a very natural way. One school is establishing the subject “fulfillment” and the plan is that the children learn what fulfillment and happiness means to them and how they can be applied at school. Could you say something about this? Something about how establishing new schools relates to new consciousness flowing into old structures?

Sophia:
At this time so much is changing, new opportunities are revealed on a daily basis. And what I say today will be old and void tomorrow. However, today, in this moment, there are many many opportunities for the children that are already born into this world and the ones yet to come. The consciousness of humanity has opened itself to more compassion and love. And even a small amount of love is able to make the world more beautiful, to make every preschool a warmer, cozier, more loving place.

We invite all of you to acknowledge how many new opportunities arise. Some of them arise out of specific initiatives with specific beliefs and specific aims. Others arise more or less spontaneously, unnoticeably, just like that. There are so many ways that the New can come in, and there are no better or worse ways for this to happen.

Sometimes there will be an initiative to establish a new school. Sometimes an existing school will begin to change its program or will hire some new teachers. Or will get some new pupils. Whatever the case, change will come along with it. Doors open, new ways open up, and the children are the ones bringing in these opportunities. And it is not of great importance how these are then applied. What is important is to perceive that there are new opportunities emerging. That the old structures are becoming softer, even if this is not evident, or let's say not yet.

You can take a moment, take this time to feel, to compare the school system of ten years ago with the school system as it is today.

(short pause)

In a subtle way, so much has changed.

In the years to come you will realize that the seeds sowed a long time ago, the seeds that came in with the first Indigo children, now come to fruition. And their fruit will benefit the children of today as well as the adults.

Thank you for your question.

Question 6:
Dear Sophia! Thank you for your answers. What is the part of me that keeps telling me: “You can't do that. You are not allowed to do it. You don't deserve abundance. You are not worth it. Without making effort you cannot achieve anything. You could even harm somebody.” I already know that this is not true, that this is not how things are anymore, but is seems to be stuck in my head, in my mind. Even when I choose abundance and freedom, it seems like I'm doing it from my head, not from my heart. There is this fear of allowing, of receiving. Why is it so strong, and what can I do besides breathing and accepting? Thank you Sophia.

Sophia:
We invite you to perceive that a major part of you is used to having to do something in order to create changes. This strategy has brought you up to this point and not any further. So this is where you are now, at this point, and you might want to try out for yourself some of the things we shared today. You might want to allow yourself to perceive: What is hurting you? What is frightening you? What is there in your life that you don't like, that is seemingly holding you back?

It's not about wiping it out, kicking it out of your life or changing it, solving it, accepting it or not accepting it. It's all about this one moment you can take for yourself, this moment in which you perceive what is there. The moment you perceive the resistance that is there in your life. The hope. The fear. The uncertainty. The anxiety. The sadness. The pain. The joy. The moment you allow yourself to perceive what is. The moment you let yourself be silent and observe.

All those parts of you are longing to become part of you again, part of your growing rhythm. Perceive them again, let them touch you, let them touch you as they are now and observe what will happen.

Thank you for this question.

***

We would like to thank all of you for being here. Thank you for being here. I want to thank you for just being, for being you, the way you are. And I invite you to perceive yourself, perceive you, the way you are today. Perceive what you like and what you don't like. Perceive you. Bless yourself with your attention. Give this gift to yourself. Let yourself receive this love, perceiving your self. Letting yourself be touched by you.

And with this we conclude our meeting for the moment. My love is with you.

And so we begin...
