Thought of the Day

You’ve been deceived and disappointed... Granted, but why go aroundcomplaining? You may say it’s for the sake of fairness... But it is this notion of justice that lies at the root of all unhappiness. People think they can punish someone or teach someone a lesson, all in the name of justice. Leave that kind of justice alone!

‘So, what should I do?’ Adopt a principle that goes beyondjustice, a principle of love, kindness and generosity. It has been two thousand years since Jesus brought this new teaching to humankind, telling them, ‘Love your enemies’, or ‘If anyonestrikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also.’ ButChristians continue to enforce the law of Moses: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. They have not yet understood that to become truly great and free, you should not demand an eye for an eye.

Do you think you will feel triumphant when you see your enemy floored? You may not be that proud of yourself, and you may even be sorry for what you have done. But it will be too late, and by doing this you will have set up very bad conditions for your evolution."

Doua papusi

Un barbat si o femeie erau casatoriti de peste 60 de ani. Ei impartaseau totul si discutau despre orice. Nu aveau secrete unul fata de celalalt, cu exceptia unei cutii de pantofi pe care femeia o tinea pe dulapul ei de haine, si, despre care l-a atentionat pe sotul ei sa nu o deschida sau sa intrebe de ea vreodata.

In toti acei ani, el nici nu s-a gandit la cutie, dar intr-o zi, batranica se imbolnavi foarte tare si doctorii ziceau ca nu prea mai are sanse sa se traiasca. Incercand sa puna toate lucrurile in ordine, batranelul a luat cutia de pantofi de pe dulap si a pus-o langa patul sotiei sale..

Era si ea de acord ca era timpul sa afle si sotul ei ce era in acea cutie. Cand a deschis-o, in cutie erau doua papusi crosetate si o gramada de bani, in total vreo 25.000 de dolari. El a intrebat-o despre continutul acestei cutii. 'Cind ne-am casatorit, spunea ea, bunica mea mi-a spus ca secretul unei casatorii este sa nu te certi niciodata. Spunea ca intotdeauna cand ma suparam pe tine, sa tac din gura si sa crosetez o papusica'... ......

Batranelul era atat de impresionat, incat abia isi putea stapani lacrimile. Doar doua papusi erau in cutie ! Ea fusese suparata numai de doua ori in toti acesti ani in care au trait impreuna. Nu mai putea de fericit!

'Iubito, spuse el, inteleg existenta papusilor, dar toti acesti bani?'
'Oh, zise ea, acestia sunt banii pe care i-am obtinut din vanzarea
papusilor'.....

RUGACIUNE :
Doamne, ma rog sa-mi dai intelepciune sa-mi inteleg sotul; iubire ca sa pot sa-l iert; si rabdare pentru toanele lui. Pentru ca Doamne, daca as cere putere, ma tem ca l-as bate prea tare. Amin!

Pain

True clairvoyance is a deep inner sensing

"The suffering or joy human beings feel are perhaps the only things they do not question. They may question what they see, what they hear, what they touch, but they are never in doubt about what they feel. If they are suffering or feeling joyful, no one can convince them of the opposite. It is what they feel that plunges them to the heart of things – they taste them and experience them. So many people remain unmoved by what they see! They witness a sunrise, one of the most beautiful sights in nature, and they feel nothing. What point is there, then, in seeing it? What would be the point of seeing heaven open before you, if you experienced nothing before such splendour? Whereas, if you feel heaven, it’s as if it’s inside you, and you no
longer even need to see it.

You must understand that everything we see, touch and appear to hold in our hands is actually a long way away from us. It’s only what we feel that’s close to us. That is why true clairvoyance is a deep inner sensing, not a vision of something outside ourselves."

Ploua...

Ploua. Si ploua si in sufletul meu. Stropii mari se lovesc de carapacea inimii mele. O lovesc nemilosi. La fiecare lovitura, ea se opreste din batut. Vantul smulge de pe ea fasie cu fasie. Inima se micsoreaza, se strange de la frig si se face tot mai mica. Dar vremii nu-i pasa. Continua la infinit sa loveasca in ea. Ma intreb cat mai rezista.

Ies din casa si alerg orbeste prin ploaie. Parul ud mi se lipeste de fata si pielea imi luceste in lumina lunii. Un copac cade in fata mea. L-a doborat furtuna. Pe el, copacul inalt si semet. Dar nu ma opresc. Pe masura ce vantul bate mai tare, simt ca trebuie sa alerg si eu in ritm cu el. Asa, macar nu simt durerea. Asa ma descarc. Ma impiedic si cad. Raman intinsa pe jos, in pamantul rece si umed. Rochia alba, acum e neagra. Respir greu si intrerupt. Simt cum inima incepe sa planga plansul cel mai dureros. Atunci, afara incepe sa ploua si mai tare. Inchid ochii si-mi amintesc ceea ce zi de zi incerc sa ascund. Ceea ce am crezut ca pot uita cu trecerea timpului. Iubirea. Dar nu, ea nu se uita. Ea ramane adanc infipta in inima ca o lipitoare. Ma cuprinde o ura amestecata cu iubire. Deschid ochii inlacrimati si in ei se citeste focul inimii. Afara tuna. Imi amintesc ca asa si pe mine m-a lovit iubirea. Zgomotos si pe viata. E lupta in sufletul meu. Gura schiteaza o grimasa. Incerc sa zambesc.

Dar in loc de un zambet, apare pe fata surasul amar al singuratatii. Inima incepe sa mi se descompuna in mici particole vii. Afara fulgera! Incerc sa ma descarc, si lovesc cu pumnii in pamant. Imi infing unghiile in el si cu sete iau in pumn o mana de noroi. Afara fenomenele naturii se dezlantuie. Imi aplec capul in jos si simt cum sufletul ma doare. Pun mana la inima si incerc sa opresc lupta ce se da inauntru. Nu pot. Natura asculta glasul sentimentelor mele si incepe sa ploua si mai tare, tuna asurzitor si fulgerele se arunca amenintatoare. Incet, simt cum respir tot mai rar... ma intind si o pace imi cuprinse fiinta. Inchid ochii si zambesc. Nu mai ploua. Tunetele s-au oprit si in aer e miros de dimineata. Afara nu mai ploua. Sufletul meu a amortit.

Let us MAKE “I love you”

Those days I have learned something extremely precious. Never, but never to give up communicating. Communication helps us to solve small or big conflicts... but well...

I think most of us are looking for one love to complete all that we already have. To complete our character, our soul, our heart… to complete the empty space inside of us. But most of us treat those things so easily. We throw our feelings, our love and all the words chasing the wind. It is easy to say we care, that we feel attached to someone… but maybe if this person needs a time of his/her own to reflect... all those just disappear. I am telling you a secret! NEVER you have been really attached to that person, you NEVER cared about him/her. You know why? Because you NEVER give up so easily. You want something? Fight! Fight for real! Fight to accomplish your goals, fight to win something to be just yours. Fight even if it will be the last thing you do. I know we all are making big mistakes. We are humans. But let us be honest. Isn’t it a bigger mistake when you let go of everything just because is not falling from the sky, straight in your arms?

Life is a road full of obstacles, and many of us stumble on them. It is so easy to say to someone “I love you” with the only purpose not to lose him/her. We became so tranquil in giving feelings “by kilograms”... but, it is an art to stay next to a person who has postponed you because of his/her own reasons. Even in a relationship between the same gender. We are so superficial. We got used that all people to “play” as we like to... if not, we… cut him/her away….

... and if we are in a relationship and if in some point a few contradictory feelings are interfering between our own feelings... we are determined to suppress all those noble feelings we have, just because a less noble feeling pooped out. We are cowards! We do not want to fight anymore. Our soul become an army which is killing its own wounded soldiers... I mean, its own feelings....

I know in those days it became so easy to say “I love you”. I have understood that.... But... is it enough... only this? Where are the proofs? Are we willing to fight until death for the person we love? We look in vain for love if we are not willing to sacrifice ourself…

We should NEVER tell about feelings that are not real. We should NEVER incite, wake up love until it comes by itself. Every time I offered, every time I gave to someone my "flower of friendship" I gave it from all my heart... but for so many times I have been robbed and left with hurt and an immense hole and the disappointment that I will never find someone sincere just to give and receive.. period.

When you will get to the point in which the happiness, the safety and the development of the person next to you become a force that is identifying with your own happiness, safety and development, only than you are in the possession of a mature love…. only than...

To sum up… who loves you it is coming searching for you… who wants you is telling you so… who misses you is calling you... who does not… it doesn’t.... IS THAT SIMPLE.

Let us say “I love you” but… NOT only that! Let us MAKE “I love you”.

Where you will be going when you leave this world?

"Would you like to know where you will be going when you leave this world? It’s very simple: you will be naturally drawn to those realms on which you focused your desires throughout your life. If your desires were elevated, you will go to realms of light; if they were mean and base, you’ll make your way to the dark realms. Your destiny depends on your proper understanding of this law. If some of you put your energy into asking for intelligence, love and beauty, no power will be able to stop you from reaching the realm to which your heart aspires – of this you may be absolutely certain. So many men and women reject the idea of a life other than the earthly one and, because of this, they indulge in all sorts of dishonest and criminal acts to satisfy their greed! And they think they get by pretty well with their guile and calculations. The truth is, they’re actually quite mistaken, and because oftheir ignorance they are often setting themselves up fo rterrible suffering in the next world."

Full Moon Prayer

This evening, create a space of Love and Light for yourself.

Sit quietly for a moment, and breathe in and out deeply. Really breathe! If you have difficulty with this, say the words, “breathe in, breathe out,” in your mind to instruct your body to do so.

This will help to open your heart chakra.

Become aware of the energy of Love within you, flowing with the tide of your breaths, and connecting you to All-That-Is.

Breathe in Love and Divine Blessings, and breathe out anything that no longer serves you.

Visualize yourself handing any worries to your Angels to take to the Light. Feel how much lighter you feel, knowing that everything is in Divine Order, as Heaven is taking care of everything….

In this loving state, you may choose to ask your Angels for Divine Guidance about any area of your life...

Be open to all help that comes on the frequency of Love. One Love!

Wolf

Wolves howl at the moon.

Howling can be seen as finding our own true inner voice, a voice that is untamed by what society thinks. It is a voice that is entirely natural. .

It symbolises a wild, instinctive and passionate nature that is natural. Wolves are not naturally aggressive although they can be if called upon.

Wolf is about knowing your inner power in such a sure way that you do not need to demonstrate it. .

It is much like a black belt in karate not needing to go around beating people up, because they know they have a skill and strength that is hidden and ready to be used if called upon. .

To wear or have near you the symbol of wolf is to howl your deeper nature into existence. .



As humans we become so conditioned by what society and other people expect of us we can lose touch with our wild nature that wants to be let lose.

Wolf helps us connect to this our inner power.

The moon represents this deeper hidden side and the howling is the call to bring this part of us forward.

Along the River During QingMing Festival

Those are parts of one of the best-known Chinese painting the “Qing Ming Shang He Tu” (sometimes named “Along the River During QingMing Festival”).

Considered a national treasure of Chinese art, the original is kept in the Forbidden City in Beijing.It was painted between 1085 - 1145, during the Northern Song Dynasty, and than was repainted in Qing Dynasty.

The entire piece was painted in handscroll format and the content reveals the lifestyle of all stratum of the society (from rich to poor) as well as different economic activities in rural areas and the city. It offers a glimpse of the costumes and architecture during that period.

09/09/09

Ieri, in cea de-a noua zi a celei de-a noua luni a celui de-al noualea an din noul mileniu ar fi trebuit sa pierim cu totii, spuneau in urma cu ceva timp profeti, experti in numerologie sau membri marcanti ai diferitelor culte religioase.

Pentru multi, aceasta asociere de cifre are valoare mistica si nu putini au fost cei care au atribuit izbucnirea epidemiei de gripa porcina la nivel mondial debutului Apocalipsei. Si mai multe voci s-au ridicat si au avertizat ca lumea va fi inghitita de gaura neagra creata de acceleratorul de particule CERN, din Elvetia.

Ultimii ani au fost o mare dezamagire pentru adeptii Armaghedonului.Trecerea dintre milenii s-a facut fara nici cel mai mic semn de sfarsit al lumii, iar 06/06/06 s-a dovedit a fi o zi obisnuita de marti, lipsita de evenimente spectaculoase.

Cum se "naste" Apocalipsa

Utilizatoruii site-ului alien-earth.org au combinat informatii culese din profetiile lui Nostradamus, cu cele mayase, carora le-au adaugat temerile cu privire la cercetarile stiintifice efectuate in laboratorul CERN din Geneva, unde se afla acceleratorul de particule Large Hadron Collider, ajungand la imaginea, "exacta", spun ei, a Apocalipsei, scrie Daily Mail.

"Atentie! 999 este 666 intors", scrie un utilizator. "Nostradamus ne-a avertizat in urma cu 400 de ani ca vom crea o masinarie a Apocalipsei, acceleratorul CERN", adauga el.

Pe un atl site, www.revelation13.net, numerologii si-au exprimat ingrijorarea cu privire la gripa porcina. "Populatia mondiala va ajunge la 6,8 miliarde de persoane in noiembrie 2009, iar Revelatia 6:8 povesteste despre al patrulea calaret al Apocalipsei, Moartea. Prin urmare, aceast virus al gripei porcine, H1N1, ar putea deveni o epidemie mortala la scara mondiala?".

"Notati ca "nein" in limba germana inseamna "nu". Deci, 9-9-9 ar putea insemna "nu-nu-nu", scrie un alt adept al Apocalipsei.

Un singur expert in numerologie pare ca nu si-a pierdut capul in fata semnelor. Este vorba despre Pauline Rose care precizeaza ca "noua este numarul implinirii, asadar, de acum inainte, urmeaza sa se intample numai lucruri bune".



La bine si la rau, pana la sfarsitul lumii

De teama ca Marele Final sa nu ii gaseasca despartiti, mai multi tineri si-au programat nunta chiar pe 09/09/09. La chinezi, cifra 9 este aducatoare de noroc, asa ca perechile care si-au unit ieri destinele sunt sigure ca vor avea o viata lunga si frumoasa impreuna.

Eros si Agape

Giorgos Giannias- S'Agapo


Grecii antici erau foarte destepti! Ei erau capabili sa inteleaga dragostea cu cele doua componente ale ei, canale pentru schimbul de sentimente si informatii intre cei doi implicati in acea dragoste, doua modalitati diferite de a trai ceea ce numim dragoste: Eros si Agape. Probabil ca in vremea aceea oamenii aveau alt gen de preocupari, mult diferite de cele de astazi si aveau timpul, curiozitatea, indrazneala si dorinta de a iubi complet.

EROS este dragostea pasionala, cea pe care o simtim ca pe un dor mistuitor, care ne consuma timpul si energia contempland persoana iubita, oftand, tanjind dupa timpul petrecut impreuna, dorind cu ardoare apropierea. Eros este focul care ne mistuie si, cu cat suferim mai intens, cu atat dragostea este mai profunda. Eros cere o "curte cu un gard frumos", "fraga buzelor", "contopirea carnala"...

AGAPE este parteneriatul si stabilitatea, impartasirea si acceptatea valorilor fundamentale ale celor doi, interese si scopuri comune, incredere si respect reciproc. Agape aduce multa bucurie celor doi prin experientele traite impreuna, prin dezvoltarea si exprimarea calitatilor expresive, creative si productive ale fiecaruia. Agape mai inseamna serenitate, devotament, tovarasie, toleranta sincera, sprijin reciproc.

Cand doi oameni incep o relatie bazata pe Eros, dupa un timp, unul dintre cei doi va dori ceva mai mult, va dori sa umple acel dor mistuitor, va simti ca a suferit destul si ca acum vrea stabilitatea si seriozitatea lui Agape. Cand acest lucru se intampla, apare pericolul de a se simti, totusi, pacalit: "Unde e suferinta lui Eros? Daca nu mai sufar, inseamna ca nu mai iubesc?"

Dragostea care e mediatizata astazi in telenovele, reviste, ziare ne ofera spre cunoastere dimensiunea Eros in mod exagerat. Cei doi sufera intens din dragoste unul pentru celalalt, sunt multi oameni rai care vor ca ei sa se desparta, sunt multi oameni indiscreti care intra cu brutalitate in dragostea lor, sunt secrete de familie adanc ascunse care acum ies la lumina special pentru a le distruge iubirea, sunt interese mai presus de dragostea impartasita, exista razbunarea ca dulce arma de atac si aparare... si cate altele! Adica, suntem invatati, a cata oara, ca profunzimea dragostei se masoara prin suferinta pe care o provoaca, iar cei care sufera cu adevarat iubesc cu adevarat si acceptam ca a suferi din dragoste este o trasatura mai curand pozitiva, fireasca, decat una daunatoare.

Exista putine modele de cupluri in care cei doi parteneri se raporteaza unul la altul in mod matur, sanatos, liber de manipulari sau subjugari. Si in acest model de dragoste exista si Eros,si Agape, pentru ca cei doi evolueaza permanent, aportul lor in relatie este tot timpul improspatat si se redescopera cu pasiune unul pe celalalt. In acest model, calitatea implicarii emotionale este subtila si comunicarea relationala sanatoasa, dragostea dureaza mai mult de 3 ani si realizarile cuplului inseamna mai mult decat suma realizarilor personale ale fiecaruia dintre cei doi.


"Fiorul emotiei care provine nu din excitarea reciproca a simturilor, ci din profunda cunoastere reciproca este, din pacate, rar. Cele mai multe dintre noi, cele care avem o relatie stabila, echilibrata, ne bazam pe predictibilitate, confort si amicitie pentru ca ne temem sa exploram tainele pe care le intruchipam ca barbat si femeie si sa scoatem la lumina eul nostru profund."
Robin Norwood ~ "Femei care iubesc prea mult"

Hollow Earth

Underground civilizations link with the 'Hollow Earth Theory'. There are supposedly races that exist in subterranean cities beneath planet Earth. Very often, these dwellers of the world beneath are more technologically advanced than we on the surface. Some believe that UFOs are not from other planets, but are manufactured by strange beings in the interior of the Earth.

In the late 17th century, British astronomer Edmund Halley proposed that Earth consists of four concentric spheres and "also suggested that the interior of the Earth was populated with life and lit by a luminous atmosphere. He thought the aurora borealis, or northern lights, was caused by the escape of this gas through a thin crust at the poles."

In the early 19th century, an eccentric veteran of the war of 1812 John Symmes promoted the idea of interior concentric spheres so widely that the alleged opening to the inner world was named "Symmes Hole."

Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864 and Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), the creator of Martian adventures and Tarzan of the Apes, also wrote novels set in the hollow earth. Legends often ignite the imagination of fiction writers and fiction often ignites the imagination of the pseudoscientist.

In 1869, Cyrus Reed Teed, an herbalist and self-proclaimed alchemist, had a vision of a woman who told him that we are living on the inside of the hollow Earth. For nearly forty years, Teed promoted his idea in pamphlets and speeches. He even founded a cult called the Koreshans (Koresh is the Hebrew equivalent of Cyrus).

In 1906, William Reed published The Phantom of the Poles in which he claimed that nobody had found the north or south poles because they don't exist. Instead, the poles are entrances to the hollow Earth.

In 1913, Marshall B. Gardner privately published Journey to the Earth's Interior in which he rejected the notion of concentric spheres but swore that inside the hollow earth was a sun 600 miles in diameter. Gardner, too, claimed that there were huge holes a thousand mile wide at the poles.



In the 1940s, Ray Palmer, co-founder of FATE, Flying Saucers from Other Worlds, Search, The Hidden World, and many other pulp publications, teamed up with Richard Shaver to create the Shaver Mystery, a legend of a world of hollow earth people and an advanced civilization. Shaver even claimed to have dwelled with the inner Earth people.

According to Richard Toronto, the FBI blamed Palmer and Shaver for concocting "flying saucer hysteria" in 1947, making them the true founding fathers of modern UFOlogy.
