I think life is a dream which we’ve believed it and struggle with it. Death is awake ness, problems are nightmares- just scare us and aren’t concrete- and happiness are dishonest dreams. But none of them remain because we getting up early…. I’m not saying we haven’t to live. Yes! But should be cared not to drown in it as fishes that enjoy from swimming, but Some times come out of the water and looking the sky. Move toward your goal your love your life but don’t ignore the stop stations. You need to stop and looking the sky…

jessica , jessica ,

balance … look at his feet and see that they touch the ground well, look at his hands and see that they are at the end of your arm:a hand to help you and a hand to help others

watch your eyes and see the beautiful soul you have, look at your life and you say that you are unique,it is the attention that you give with love and passion that guides your life

a step forward in the other allows the balance to be quiet, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone

Love
sido

its a small story from my life…….

one night i was sitting in the verandah of my house and reading something……..
suddenly a big black butterfly fluttered across me…..
there r many trees and flowers outside my house and the butterflies play and mate out there…..
but they never come inside houses…
this one came near me as if to convey a message…….
my heart told me it had a purpose…..
the next day i browsed online for connections of butterfly with our life….with spirituality….and i got to read about many interesting facts……
what was more surprising was how beautifully the butterfly tried to connect with me and how it got its message to me so beautifully…….
i was meditating one day and i felt a butterfly resting in my fingers as i meditated ..once i opened my eyes it was gone……
in the newspaper the next day i saw this wonderful story in the spiritual clumn called the speaking tree titled”the butterfly”….
i knew this could not be a set of coincidences coz coincidences do not exist in life i have learnt…….
i cut that part of the story but somehow lost it………
but a few months later when i was eating my dinner i needed a newspaper to keep my lunch over it…
my friend removed a piece of paper and to my amazement it was the same butterfly story!5 mins back i was telling a friend this butterfly story and i found it!
the story goes about like this…..

“one day a man saw a butterfly coming out of its cocoon,it was struggling to come out and after a particular period of time it seemed to have used all its effort and was unable to push its way out any further.the man felt sorry for the butterfly and cut open the cocon with scissors…..
what came out was a shrivelled butterfly with shrunken wings and the man waited and waited for the butterfly to fly…..
but it did not..for the rest of its life the butterfly went crawling with its shrivelled body…
what the man in his goodwill and kindness did not understand was that the butterfly needed that struggle in the cocoon to push the fluid into its wings so that it will finally be able to fly…..
this story was a metaphor for all our struggles and pains and hurt we go through in our life and ask “why me”….its only to make us stronger and make us ready to “fly” in this world”……

it is one of the stories very close to my heart…..

p.s::HI! to eevryone :)

Dear Carolena Sabah, by the three bodies I mean: the material, the sentimental and the spiritual.
‘The magus of Strovolos’ and ‘Homage to the Sun’ by Dr. Kyriakos Markides are two books that may explain a lot about these matters.
Thank you for your kind words.
LOVE,
Thelma.

La cuestion es…

Todo o nada, no es la cuestion…

Poder o no poder, no es la cuestion, porque Todos Podemos, y en Todos hay Poder…

Jessica you’re back!! :D I don’t know what’s going on in your world, but it sounds like a case of unrequited love

That is the worst! If that’s the case, or I guess anything else, can’t hurt… Like Paulo says in his ‘The Wounded by Love’ I can’t remember what he exactly says, but you should; scream and yell and and stomp and hit and punch your bed… and then you will feel better :)

Then make yourself a yummy sandwich and sit under the sun and eat it. And don’t think!!!! :)

But truly… any hurt, pain, injury, heals with time.

This message is for Jessica! I don’t know if your above blogging is true or fiction. But if you really are trying to push the visions/voices away here is a great way to do it!

Just as the vision/voice begins, imagine something for me, imagine your national anthem playing from beginning to end in your imagination.

I have heard this works wonders…

I was wondering where you were, dear Jessica. ;]
I am glad you are back and that you feel better.
I have already said before that from what I have heard from my metaphysical lessons, we should not try to open our ‘centers’, chakras, without the supervision of a teacher. It is dangerous to find yourself in ‘lower’ situations and in ‘uncontrollable place’.
Our aim is to have harmony between our three bodies and be able to master them. Not to let our lower, material self, master us.
Pray and let yourself rest.
LOVE,
Thelma

An exerpt from my blog:
…The more we do, the more we value our accomplishments and the harder it becomes to not do. If you find yourself in this place, then you cannot love yourself because you have no reason to. Reason is a consequence of action/conditions or something tangible. At this point you have forgotten the whole concept of unconditional love. This is the time when we rush into relationships or start picking apart those we are involved in. In a sense we are demanding love from our loved ones or anyone who will give it to us. In other words, we are looking for love from the outside. This is when people start having problems in their relationships…

On their way to “Paradise”

The sea is really wild today but that won’t stop you
Waves breaking on the rocks,nothing new
Past like present but hope in a better future
You’re hurt but there is no cure

Eyes set on horizon,your mind on the run
Nevermind the truth,for you it’s the right turn
Between today and tomorrow there’s a thin line
After the rain,the sun will finally shine

If only it was true..
If only it was true..

In the middle of the night,in the middle of nowhere
The storm is raging and water is washing all away
But danger is reality and in spite of all the prayers
Soon the cold lady was on her way

Another soul,another lament,another story
On their way to « Paradise », wishing to be free
Many souls have known their last hour
And all their dreams have turned sour

For those who arrived at destination
Reality has replaced imagination
Some will go back from point B to A
But tomorrow another try,another day

Some will be trapped by some digital story
And depending on what place and what country
Might disappear or be caught in slavery
Some will be more lucky,it’s just lottery

Never wished to leave their family and home
You will be nothing or at the dome
Corruption is the word and leaders have it all
So try to survive and hug the walls

A nice lady will try to bring a bit of sunshine
Not much just some food and a cover
But authorities are saying this is a crime
A crime?Taking care of others?
Whatever..

On their way to “Paradise”,some have returned
A tear in their eyes and some wood to burn
The sea has taken all away
Nights will be dark and days will be grey

But will it be ok if for an hour
We’d send you the preacher?
To spread hope over misery
To say that abstinence is the key

Tomorrow will be just like today
Corruption and no prevention
No care and few to support the ones who care
Hungry at school,sick at church
Army in the streets setting villages to burn
Babies with no mothers,children holding guns
The point of no return

African tears not enough to make the sky rain
Food to grow and weight to gain
Witchcraft fears and nonsense traditions
Anything to hold on
Tomorrow will be just like today
But I want to think that light is on its way..
Somehow,someday

Candie

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.Between the mass of people, that perhaps belong to the world that want to change me, I was told, rather arrogantly by a gentleman;

“You know Siddharth” he said, “the one who writes for the fool is always sure of a large audience”

I smiled and told him, “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”

Do not consider yourself incapable because you do not have an answer to such arrogant gentlemen. If you have a song, sing it without any walls. Remember, people are like stained-glass windows- they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Love,
Siddharth R Soni

I am sorry to come once again with a bad notice,is about new laws in my country,nice Romania,the land where everything is possible.The shocking law regards the freedom to do medical experiments on mentally challenged persons or on kids under 14 .Is this normal?Nobody reacts,no referendum.But,when was issued a new fee on cars,higher,many people went on streets to show their disapproval ,and the fee was eliminated.So,cars are more important than poor human beings?
