Too bad it probably couldn't happen now. Homeland Security would be all over him after the anthrax scare. It's this kind of magical act that a dying person's wish can overstep fear, but now it's likely to inflame fears. Am glad Vera got away with it. I haven't seen a lot of the world--mostly just Italy. But I have studied the art of every place and culture, and in that way I feel connected to the world. In spite of political boundaries and fear of outsiders, every single country (and the many cultures within) have created their own unique kind of beauty that can perhaps keep alive the desire to embrace the outsider rather than resist.

I translated it for some friends of mine into german, and I want to ask if there would be a problem if I put the translatio onto my website (of course with a link to this site). I'd be even more glad if you would take it for the german translation in your blog instead of the awsome automatic translation. Best regards and hoping for a reply Thomas I first read this story in your book “Like the flowing river” and I found it really toching like a lot of stories in there.

Whatever we´ve learned in a life is collected energetically and is partly or completely carried over into a new life as a new physical body is created for us by our parents to be in the new life. There are places in this world that I deeply feel that I want to visit and there are places in this world that I deeply feel are "dangerous" or "difficult" and that I absolutely have no wish to visit unless I have to. I´m sure this simply is because of past experiences there. When I grew up in Lisbon I felt as a child that the bridge across Tejo there was wrong, that there was something wrong!!!! When I was 26 I made a deeply immportant long journey to San Francisco and great was my joy, finally I felt the bridge, -Golden Gate - was right. Now "it" was right inside me. Well, I know now it´s the same ingeneer who built both bridges, but I´ve also learned much more about a deeper explanation. Part of me knew deeply San Francisco would involve experiences for me of coming home. Inside. Hi again, Paulo,

While we are asleep, our Soul leaves the body and our body mends the 'wounds' we experience during our days of ...learning and walking the "Path". So I think, I am not attached to my material body. I see it as a vehicle that helps me live in this dimension. The scientists say that every twenty eight days all our cells are changed. So we are not ...our nails, blood or hair [although, I feel, I loose my power....whenever I cut my hair!]. It is said that a person feels the pain of a part of the body, even when it is amputated.. What can we say about the transplants?? Our Souls are free to go wherever they desire or dream. Imagination has no boundaries.. LOVE, Thelma I have read somewhere that we die and be re-born everyday.

What you write at the beginning made me think of one particular experience I´ve had among the travels I´ve done: Before leaving Denmark on a big journey at a cross-roads time in my life 16 years ago I had my personal horoscope chart made in a particular way: Overlaid the map of the world. This is a simple astrological tool and it has given me exciting information and explanations into what kind of experiences are encoded for me at particular places. One particular thing I thought missed the mark completely when I got this done many years ago: The energy line I have that go through Denmark where I lived and still live is specific about the home that is what I create if I choose to live here. Among other things this home in Denmark would be filled with all kinds of technical devices and pioner stuff in the technical media area. This made me laugh out loud 16 years ago as I am very, very unpractical and technical know-how is beyond me!! Well! Wonder of wonders, as I´m writing you this, I´ve just come home with yet another technical wonder - I´m married with an artist who´s also a technical pioner in his field and who loves experimenting with all kinds of new technical stuff that plays with at home before he makes it work at his work... This became a long story about an aspect of your remarks: How various parts of this globe trigger or bring forward various kinds of experiences for us. Dear Paulo,

Nails! Yuuuu. Do you know that even one little nail, if a Lunde fugl, bird, ate it, it could kill the bird. Pope John Paul II, when he visited a country, he always left a kiss on the ground. I have slept in the same bed and showered in the same shower as our Holy Father, a couple of years after he visited my old home country. In the parish the room where he stayed, now is called the Pope's room. God Bless his Soul. Just off my exercise bike here. Nails! Yuuuu.

She was a brave and insightful woman and fortunate to have such a devoted son. The small, or perhaps not so small, acts of kindness from those who received and scattered her ashes from around the world added just a little more hope into the world.

I wonder how much solidarity is there when a person departs....I am wondering now if people would have been equally kind if Vera were to visit place ask them to show around the place. It would have meant considerable time and money ( assuming Vera had no money to travel around). Why is that the stance of people change when one is not there to when one is living ?. On one hand it looks like a noble act by all who had fulfilled Vera's wish.....why dont people perform all time such noble acts while living with each other. Really amazing.
