Je me réveille chaque jour avec mon enthousiasme et la première chose qui je fais c'est remercier. Dans la journée je remercie tout le temps. C’est une des choses qui me lie a la source, a Dieu, à la lumière. La méditation, l'yoga, aussi me lient à la source, venir ici sur ce blog, me joindre à Paulo e à a vous me lie à la source, à Dieu. Et je vous remercie pour cela. Cette vibe de la source c'est qui me fais ne pas répondre de la même façon a des mauvaises énergies qui vient de mon prochain. Si je réponds de la même façon qui mon « ennemie » en quoi je serai différent de lui ? En effet ça ne m’attire pas d’être dans cette énergie car je suis dans l’énergie de la source de l’amour, donc, pour moi le combat c’est pour continuer dans cette source et pouvoir être dans la lumière, ce n’est pas contre mon « ennemie », la lumière de mon « ennemie » ne veut pas dire mon ombre, et si mon « ennemie » vois ma lumière comment leur ombre, leur ombre c’est pas la mienne non plus, et je suis dans le bons sens. Ne pas répondre de la même façon pour des attitudes négatives donne a moi la possibilité de continuer mon dans mon énergie, d’amour… L’ennemie peut beaucoup m’apprendre de ça car je pratique beaucoup mon infinie énergie de patient et amour. La meilleure parte du combat a mon avis c’est quand « l’ennemie » veut utiliser tout les mesures possibles pour provoquer un énorme piège dans ta vie, qui pourrait emmener même au fin du combat pour toi. Il n’arrive pas a faire cette piège. Toi, tu as trois fois la piège qu’il est en train d’essayer de te préparer, mais tu n’utilise pas car tu sais qui ça leur causerait l’ombre totale pour lui et ce n’est pas ça qui tu veux. Tu es devant ton ennemie Just pour pouvoir continuer a avoir ta place au soleil, pas pour le causer l’ombre. D’ailleurs, s’il n’avait pas essayé de t’enlever de ton chemin tu n’aurais même pas a combattre, car tu es et serait toujours dans la lumière et l’ennemie ne pourrait jamais t’enlever de ton chemin. Car ta lumière c’est une menace a eux. Il y a ceux qui au lieu de garder leur énergie de la source veulent t’enlever de la tienne en vain. C’est une énergie qui est dispensé pour rien. Combien de couples dépensent des fortunes avec les avocates pour se séparer, en faisant la guerre, en sachant qu’il y a des nombreuses personnes qui passent la faim pour toute la vie et sont au combat pour survivre et pour donner le mieux ? Je pense qui c’est a ce moment qu’il faut voir bien « l’éducation » dont Marie Christine parle. LOVE! Marie Christine: Comment je disais a Anne, c’est cette énergie qui me correspond le plus de mon être dans tout ma vie. Dans une église et dans nous même pouvons trouver cette énergie. Nous sommes tous un et il n’y a pas d’équipe meilleure, il a ceux qui cherchent la lumière, il y a ceux qui cherchent l’ombre. Et ces personnes qui cherchent l’ombre n’aiment pas ta lumière et veulent t’apporter a l’ombre aussi. Je ne sais pas comment ils ne se fatiguent pas… mais l’important c’est qui toi tu n’est pas dans la même énergie qu’eux. Et tu ne réponds pas de la même façon. Tu n’as pas une meilleure équipe, mais tu es dans la lumière, et rien ni personne peut t’enlever de la. Personnellement, je préfère cette énergie. N’importe quoi peut nous arriver et le meilleur est a venir… LOVE. Anna: I had the same thought today is incredible! I think through how you input it has. I wake up every day with my enthusiasm and the first thing I do is thank them. During the day I thank all the time. It is one thing that binds me to the source, God, to light. The meditation, yoga, also bind me to the source, coming here on this blog, join Paulo and you had to lie to the source, God. thank you for that. The vibe of the source is that I do not respond the same way a bad energy that comes from my neighbor. If I answer the same way that my "enemy" what I am different from him? Indeed it does not me to be in this energy because I'm in the energy of the source of love, so for me the struggle is to continue in this source and be in the light, it is not against my "enemy", the light of my "enemy" does not mean my shadow, and if my "enemy" see how my light shade, their shadow is not mine either, and I'm in the right direction. Do not respond in the same way for negative attitudes gives me the opportunity to continue my in my energy, love ... The enemy can teach me much about it because I love my practice patient infinite energy and love. The best part of the battle in my opinion is when the "enemy" wants to use all measures possible to cause a huge trap in your life that could even take the fight to end for you. It can not make this a trap. You have three times the trap he is trying to get ready, but you do not use because you know that it would cause the total shade for him and that is not who you want . You're Just in front of your enemy to continue to have your place in the sun, not to cause shadows. Indeed, had he not tried to kidnap your way you would not even a fight, because you are and will always be in the light and the enemy could never kidnap your way . Because your light is a threat to them. There are those who instead of keeping its energy from the source to the kidnap held in vain. It's an energy that is provided for nothing. How many couples spend a fortune with the lawyers to secede, by waging war, knowing that there are many people who spend the hunger for life and are fighting to survive and give the best? I think that this is a moment that we can see the "education" which Mary Christine speaks. LOVE! Marie Christine: How I said to Anne, it is this energy that is most of me throughout my life. In a church and we even can find that energy. We are all one and there is no team better, he has those who seek the light, there are those who seek the shade. And people who seek the shade do not want your light and shadow bring you too. I don’t know how they do not get tired ... but the important thing is that you just is not in the same energy as they do. And you do not respond the same way. You do not have a better team, but you are in the light, and nothing and nobody can kidnap of. Personally, I prefer this Energy. Anything can happen and the best is yet to come ... LOVE.

If we find love in everything we do, we'll also find the enthusiasm we are looking for. Marie-Christine: I agree with what you said, but I also believe that's why we should love our enemies; I mean, if they feel hate, anger, rage, or any other negative feeling towards us, and instead of striking back with negative feelings too, we strike back with love, we're fulfilling ourselves with pure positive vibrations by not letting their negative vibes get us. I believe that the purest love is the one we feel for the ones who doesn't love us back, it's the hardest, but the purest, because it's seeking always the good in others. And that's Agape.

This reminds me of the energy we use. For example, I have read ,if you go to a church and start singing you get a lot of positive energy. Why? Because you follow the rythm of the others around you, the same can be applied in a negative way in a big crowd where people start singing - the type -" my team is better than yours."except the rythm this time is channelled in a negative way.and when you are in a big crowd....anything can happen. Personally, I prefer to apply the first one. Education as a last recourse,perhaps? Love Ca Merci. Ceci me fait penser a la facon dont nous utilisons notre energie. Par exemple, j'ai lu que lorsque nous allons a l'eglise et commencons a chanter, nous recevons de l'energie positive. Pourquoi? Parceque nous suivons le "rythme" nous sommes tous ensemble, la meme chose peut se produire d'une facon negative, cette fois-ci, par ex un endroit ou il y a beaucoup de personnes et les gens commencent a chanter leur "Mon equipe est meilleure que la tienne" genre.Le rythme est transmis d'une facon negative. et quand vous etes dans la foule.... n'importe quoi peut arriver... Personnellement je prefere la premiere solution. Education est un autre recours a notre disposition peut etre? Love Ca

Gracias Coelho, por esos maravillosos escritos sobre el amor, tu siempre nos inspiras y nos guias. Aqui le dejo esta interpretacion que he hecho sobre el amor, que al igual puede encontrarlo en mi espacio. El amor es Materia, no se crea ni se destruye, solo se transforma, y como dice Cabral, el amor nunca se muere, solo cambia de lugar. El amor Es y nada más. No creas que cuando lo tienes es tuyo solo, el amor es de todos, no lo puedes poseer, no lo puedes manipular, no lo puedes esclavizar. Las personas somos quienes hacemos eso, no el Amor.Pamela Angeles interpretación. En mi Hi5, escribi esta interpretacion de lo que creo es el amor, y ya que he finalizado de leer las formas del amor, mas aun cuando tengo un pretendiente del que creo puedo enamorarme, me hace analizar que el tipo de amor que yo puedo sentir es el de Agape, verdaderamente es asi. Gracias Coelho, por esos maravillosos escritos sobre el amor, tu siempre nos inspiras y nos guias.
Aqui le dejo esta interpretacion que he hecho sobre el amor, que al igual puede encontrarlo en mi espacio.

El amor es Materia, no se crea ni se destruye, solo se transforma, y como dice Cabral, el amor nunca se muere, solo cambia de lugar. El amor Es y nada más. No creas que cuando lo tienes es tuyo solo, el amor es de todos, no lo puedes poseer, no lo puedes manipular, no lo puedes esclavizar. Las personas somos quienes hacemos eso, no el Amor.Pamela Angeles interpretación.

Rumi, a scholar and mystic, even a well known teacher already, similarly, had not yet fathomed the heights of spiritual knowledge to which he would ascend in his ecstatic union with this mysterious man. When the two met, Shams was around sixty; Rumi, only about forty; but instantly they found unity of spirit, beyond age and time, in the ecstatic love they both held in their hearts for God. Not long before they met, Shams made a desperate plea to God, asking God to send him someone who would be a mate to his soul. That prayer was answered by a voice from on high that said, "The one you seek is Jelaluddin Rumi of Konya."

Love is capable of altering everything with us so unaware that we wouldn't really know that there has been a change. A mystery regarding love is that we never choose it, it comes to us as life does: it is born, grows, and may die. Throughout its life, it develops its character and makes its own decisions. I'm in love. So in love. And sometimes, I know that I am not the one making the decisions that I am actually making. I wouldn't normally say the things that I find myself saying, or acting or feeling the way that I sometimes do. It is both simple and complicated and analysing or conceiving anything about it is impossible. Love is so personal. Love is what we live for..

You are Agape. ..."You could take all this, take it away I'd still have it all 'Cause I've climbed the tree of life And that is why, no longer scared if I fall When I get lost in space I can return to this place 'Cause, you're the one Nothing fails No more fears Nothing fails You washed away my tears NOTHING FAILS No more fears NOTHING FAILS NOTHING FAILS I'm not religious But I feel so moved Makes me want to pray Pray you'll always be here I'm not religious But I feel such love Makes me want to pray.." Madonna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibonPrePQEI Agape started to show his face the day you walked into our lives.
You are Agape.

…”You could take all this, take it away

I’d still have it all

‘Cause I’ve climbed the tree of life

And that is why, no longer scared if I fall

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

‘Cause, you’re the one

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

You washed away my tears

NOTHING FAILS

No more fears

NOTHING FAILS

NOTHING FAILS

I’m not religious

But I feel so moved

Makes me want to pray

Pray you’ll always be here

I’m not religious

But I feel such love

Makes me want to pray..” Madonna

Losing enthusiasm is not just in view something that is created through loss of innocence; losing enthusiasm can also reshape our timeline and sense of continuity. The future seems to become cut off; the past seems to be lost; the present becomes ??!!
