We really should be waddling happily along, not taking things too seriously, and going with the flow of life… ahhhh. But just when life seems to be floating by, along comes the Universe and slams down that big Looking Glass in our face, forcing us to take a look at ourselves and See Clearly. What to do? Roll up the sleeves, put on the Gloves and get to the real work of give and take. Oh yes, it is okay – even necessary- to accept assistance with the task ahead.
Looking back, have we paid enough attention to the Earth – our resources, stability, and structure? If not, the times of neglect will be catching up with us. If so, then we have a firm foundation to build upon. It’s the nourishing soil that grows sweet flowers and attracts the Butterfly. This lets us rise up, as if on a Ladder, all the while Bowing to the great mystery that surrounds us. Sit for a while in prayer or meditation, dear traveler, and when Hope is restored, take up your Sword and go forth once more.
… This is just something I wrote in my blog; it’s the current CycleCast (psychic energy-weather reading) that we’re in now.
Life is a big classroom!
Why do we have to ask our friends what we should do?Maybe because we don”t trust our on instints, we are affraid that we are beeing impulsive, selfish. Maybe because we are tired of taking the same missed steps…
So…this week I am going to flow my heart, I have to speak or listen to my truth!!!
Dear Paulo,
I answer here about the trailer, because it’s impossible to do it in the right space (the blog says “error”).
I appreciated the trailer a lot.
It’s based on details (i.e.,the lives of jet set are ofet based on details, but also the devil lives in details), so this element says so much about your book.
Another important element is that the light is used like in the picture of Caravaggio; that is dark landscapes where little elements of Truth came to the Light.
This, in my opinion, means that the message of book is referred to the words of Jesus: “nothing of what is hidden will remain unfold, but every Truth will be told”.
Am I right?
My sensations are correct?
Thank you for your aswer.
I saw “Créative Promotion” in this blog. I like so much and so great ! Thanks for this moment of pleasure.
Dear Basia Stepien
I really like the “Creative promotion” you did. That was excellent.
In “Zwyciezca jest sam” you put a face in the characters. I like that idea. It is so different.
May be that is the way to go to promote books for the future.
That was ingenious. Thank you.
I am not sure whether it was a Polish production, I watched the ballet from “Veronika decides to die”.
That was great too.
There is so much talent around that we never hear about.
Good to see that it is coming to the surface at last.
Thanks Paulo.
Love
Marie-Christine
Paulo’s video blog titled ‘Revealing Shameful Acts’ and a commencement speech by Ellen DeGeneres inspired me to blog about secrets.
I wrote: “In the summer of 1990, at the very earliest stages of my conscious Fishing for Soul adventures, I took part in a weekend-long workshop in Philadelphia facilitated by leaders of The Forum, now known as The Landmark Forum, the flagship program of Landmark Education designed to help participants “redefine the very nature of what’s possible.” I was 24 years old.
One of the assignments in the course, on the second night I think, was to come back the next day having revealed something to someone that you had never revealed before. The assignment excited and terrified me because I knew exactly what I wanted, and needed, to turn over.”
I wrote in the blog (http://www.fishingforsoul.wordpress.com)about the secrets I revealed and the healing that took place because of it.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I read the Zahir when I was 23 year old alcoholic and it made me see the light. For ten years I had been running away from everything in my life, avoiding all circumstance in fear of what could happen. The Zahir made me realise you have to leap into your life and not be afraid of what could happen, to stop living with a wall up.
Now when I read others experiences with hopelessnessless and overcoming it, it gives me a great feeling of personal power for overcoming this huge feat of narcotics controlling my life and emotions.
Has anyone else got any stories of abuse of narcotics and overcoming it?
Others stories really empower me and inspire me.
Have a lovely day all xx Rachel.
Neela, thank you for posting Rumi brilliance… my soul never tires of it.
Thank you for my space in your blog :)
I would like to share with you a talk I had with my friend this afternoon.
We never expected that it will turn out to be so enlightning for both of us.
So here it goes:
Pratik – There is a wisdom which knows when to go and when to return, what is to be done and what is not to be done, what is fear and what is courage, what is bondage and what is liberation – that is pure wisdom. – and that ultimate wisdom is said to be god.
Arif – Or v can call it Samyukthi…I don’t know.
You know it is also related with psychic powers…an extension of physical sense
u kn’ it is also related wt psychic powers..an extension of physical sense
Pratik – extension of physical sense ??
Could you please throw some light on this?
Arif – buddy it is about the astral senses…
Astral senses are the extent ion of physical ones…
Do you want me to throw more light?
Pratik – of course !
Now what are these astral senses?
Arif – See as we have five physical senses like see, touch, hear, taste and smell……
reality could be made out of these five senses….but there are five more senses which are extension of these existing senses….
i told you that day that American army is testing remote viewing (one astral sense)..where they will send a guy to some place other than America for example…and he will send message through his thought to the guy who will b in America…guy 1 will describe in his thoughts the colors, geographic location and will produce vivid mental images of the location……and the guy who will be in America will read his mind and make out the detail..you know about telepathy…it is also one of among them…
Want me to throw some more light?
Pratik – No ! Its bright all around me now !
Long pause of silence approx. 20 mins
All of a sudden OuT Of tHe bLuE
Arif – Got me dude?…actually i was sleeping…
Over the years, i have been closely associated with the research work done by various personalities like David Bohm, Tulsiraman, Swami Vivekananda, Sigmund Frued, Einstein etc. and different cultures like Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism
its just a matter of time…the core of everything is same…and we need to know that core of everything…but why we need to find out that core of everything…the simple cosmic reason could be that all we are interconnected and connected through our core…
David finds core as a super explicate order while Einstein hadn’t accepted the fact of universe though he had once said “reality is an illusion”…
While Moray finds core as a radiant energy and different cultures find it as a set of discipline…
I find core very simple rather complicated but once it get melted with the concept of reality, a physical world, i find it complicated rather simple…if its reality which makes the things complex for us, then why we have been put here, is it a show business or else where we have to find our self…i don’t know if reality is an illusion, then why it does exist…why we live in this reality…
Pratik – Hmmm..!
feeling loss of words
i am nt only proud of u being my Friend but i also wanna thank the ONE who
created this web of people and their thoughts generated by the ONE communicated
to this body through various ways but understood by a very few creations of the ONE like David, Vivekananda, Lord Krishna though (Lord Krishna is said to be the ONE lord self), ALLAH, JESUS, BUDDHA, may be the bird chirping at your window,the wind blowing through your ears,the ..but only those who understood the real form of the ONE became ’0′ with the ONE…
Arif – ’0′ with the ONE ?
Yes, zero with the ONE
if you want to describe the look at the face.. Or the emotion the SAID
GOD is going through this micro mini second you can easily describe it
as ’0′..u just can’t say he will be feeling extremely happy as he is the
GOD and he has no competition for his esteemed throne.. Forget that..he
is the one who is neither alive nor dead neither happy nor sad neither
crying nor laughing neither curious nor dumb neither black neither
white neither yellow neither wet neither dry neither air neither water neither +
nor -…
he is at the state of a ’0′… He doesn’t want anything neither
does he lack any
he is fulfilled but yet hungry….sorry for the
gender discrimination by using HE…but whatever it is ..its neither HE
nor SHE????????????????
and started laughing and rolled one more joint..!
Hope I am able to present it clearly.
Thank you

Pratik, that was one spiritual, scientific and mind blowing conversation. With some humour :)…I found your post very visual like reading a book. I wonder what are the numbers under your name?
Dear all,
As per the resolution this year in 2009, I am traveling to Himalaya and back again to North (Finland). So, I won’t be much active during 12.06.2009-20.07.2009. But once in a while, I will check the updates and the blog and your latest ideas, thoughts and creativity.
I may sound like the administrator of this blog but I am not, it is Paulo the great. Adventurous journey and life is all about making such journeys.I am just fulfilling my resolutions. So, I might go climbing few mountains since I was born in Mountains (Himalaya)
Good luck to me and hopefully I will come back again to send you some more books to read… (Ha Ha …) or may give you great inspiring ideas about love, life and relationships. What can a person do, when he was born so wise ?…..(Ha Ha…)
I know many will not like me and many do not like me but I like you all for simple and stupid reason- We all are humans and we were created equal.
God blesses you all !
and
God bless you all !
Hello Santosh…
I climbed mountains too when I was heartbroken :)
It’s very liberating when you push your physical and mental to the limit. You get to appreciate all God’s creation and be humble by it.
“We all are humans and we were created equal” – I like that.
Good luck :)
Liza
Santosh, have a great journey and we’ll miss you. See you when you get back!
Have a nice journey,and prepare well.I guess will be not easy the road…If you take pictures please share. Take care
Love
Alexandra
Santosh
Make sure you pack warm clothes for the climb.
Enjoy the holidays Inn.

Un texto escrito por mi:
Tras una larga noche sin dormir por fin amanece, las horas han ido pasando lentamente y te encuentras ante un día en el que te deberían de pesar las piernas a cada paso que das, cada músculo de tu cuerpo en el momento en que lo mueves, los párpados se te deberían de cerrar herméticamente al menor pestañeo y el sueño aprovechar cada oportunidad para ponerte a descansar en cualquier esquina.
Sin embargo, a pesar de haber sido una noche tan larga te sientes diferente, hacía mucho tiempo que no contemplabas el sol salir de entre las montañas en el horizonte y ver como el día se pone en marcha. Rápidamente y sin ningún tipo de pensamiento negativo te dispones a repetir la rutina de cada mañana pensando en qué sorpresa te tendrá reservada este nuevo día. Así que sales a la calle y el sol brilla más fuerte que nunca, el calor te arropa y cada músculo de tu cuerpo se mueve guiado por esa extraña fuerza que te invita a vivir.
Y es en medio de la multitud, en el momento en que menos te lo esperas, cuando aparece su mirada, se cruza con la tuya y en un momento lo comprendes todo, en ese momento, en ese instante todo adquiere un sentido y es entonces cuando averiguas de donde viene esa fuerza, de donde viene esa energía y esas ganas de vivir. Has visto una estrella, has visto tu estrella.
Cuando llega la noche miras al cielo y contemplas las diminutas estrellas que brillan y resplandecen en la oscuridad del cielo. Así son muchas personas, gente que destaca por ser como son más allá del resto, gente que hace que la vida valga la pena, personas que jamás olvidarás, personas por las que vale la pena creer que la noche nunca será totalmente oscura. Y habrá días en que el cielo esté cubierto de nubes y días en los que brillen con menos intensidad pero dará igual, seguirán alli.
Guillermo, I do not think the Google translator was able to bring out the exact beauty of your writing, but what I got was like poetry. I felt it was how I see my day, and recognizing magical moments. We should take in the light in any hour of the day.
Muy lindo, toca el corazón y te entran las ganas de salir a buscar esas estrellas inspiradoras….
Love
Gabriela

I would like to share this link I found about a men who used to work in the NY’s stock market and now is working at a restaurant were he used to eat super expensive food. Impresive, we never know what is going to happen to our life so we must be prepared to live under all kinds of conditions and be strong. I hope you like it.

Dear Melissa, thank you..
LOVE,
Thelma.
Thank you so much, this was inspiring..
how this article suppose to be inspiring?
Esta semana já está terminando, e começou como um turbilhão de assuntos e problemas que a fizeram passar sem que quase eu percebesse.
Estou com um problema sério com minha filha mais velha, de 11 anos, Isabella. Problema de bullying na escola. Já são 2 anos e meio vivendo este problema, e só me dei conta realmente do que está acontecendo nos últimos dias. Só agora, depois de tantos pedidos de socorro por ela, e eu não entendia.
Amamos nossos filhos mais do que a nós mesmos, vigiamos dia e noite para que estejam bem e protegidos. E uma coisa dessas passa assim despercebida?
Mas na vida talvez seja natural e necessário que estas armadilhas na interpretação de situações existam. Necessário para que saibamos que precisamos estar atentos nas situações mais banais. E que nunca, nunca teremos controle absoluto de qualquer situação.
Com o tempo, em minha vida, fui acreditando que tinha pleno controle em alguns momentos. Mas é justamente a falta de controle que nos move, que nos faz agir…
Parei para pensar um pouco no meu caminho em particular, e procurar minuciosamente onde penso ter controle absoluto da situação. O perigo mora nos detalhes banais, e na sensação de controle, não acha?
Um bj grande, Paulo

Se parece com a escola nao esta fazando muito, no?Bullying no e bem.
Voce falou com el Principal da Escola?
Voce pensa de associar sua filha a um curso de amor-proprio?
Eu tive problemas semelhantes quando minhas criancas estavam na Francia na escola com matematicas deles.
O modo que eles fazan as divisoes sao diferentes ao sistema ingles.
O problema estava resolvido depois que eu falasse com o Director.
Eu espero que tudo se ordenara fora.
Coragem. Amor y beijos Isabella
Marie-Christine
Thanks to Babylon for the translation.
It looks like the school is not doing much.Bullying is not good.
Have you spoken to the Headmaster?
Have you thought of enrolling your daughter to a self-esteem course?
I had similar problems with my children when they were in France at school with their maths.
The method of doing the divisions are different to they English system.
I went to speak to the Headmaster and the problem was resolved.
I hope that everything goes well for you and Isabella.
Love

Dear Liza,
Thank you very much, appreciated…
Yes that is true, more than the physical strength is required to reach the final destination.
Thank you so much !

Thank you very much appreciated., Hope to be back soon… :)
God blesses you too !
and
God blesses you all !
Bom dia, Marie-Christine,
Obrigada por seu carinho. Realmente é uma situação muito delicada o que eu e minha filha estamos vivendo.
Aqui no Brasil pouco se fala e se entende de bullying, e a própria escola e direção tentam me fazer acreditar que o problema está em minha filha e não na existência de bullying. Conversei com a diretora e não encontrei apoio, ela sugeriu que eu procurasse ajuda psicológica para mim também, por achar que eu sofro excessivamente com o problema da minha filha! Nestes ultimos anos fui inúmeras vezes até a escola pedir ajuda deles sem sucesso.
Minha filha hoje está em avaliação psicológica. É certo que algum estrago em sua mente foi inevitável, mas ainda não sei o que será feito, terapia, ou algo assim. A auto estima dela está muito baixa. Dói meu coração de mãe vê-la assim.
Mas estou fazendo tudo que julgo correto fazer. E acredito que ela por ser criança, vai conseguir se recuperar.
obrigada por seu carinho,
muito amor e paz para você.
Bom dia Elaine M.Aoki
Sincero obrigado.
Eu nao sou a mae Teresa.:)
Voce ajuda me tido entendido melhor para mim. :)
Se uma carreira come um aconselhador pode ser minha rota a ser procurada…..Obrigado elses soao agradaveis beijos para ela e Isabela.
Salte dia um bom!
Marie-Christine
Thank you Elaine for your reply.
I am not Mother Teresa.:)
You know this has helped me to understand myself better.
A career in counselling might be a sign for me to follow.
Thank you and xxxx for you and Isabela.
Have a nice day.
Marie-Christine
thanx for sharing your valuable perception with me..!
