Mucha gente me dice que soy la inocencia personificada y yo orgullosisima de serlo. No me gusta pasear por la vida con una cara larga que me llega hasta el suelo como muchas veces observo por la calle y hasta mis propios amigos, esa no es mi filosofia; yo necesito: estar alegre, reir, ser simpatica con la gente..., ahi que mirar la vida con la cara del optimismo aun en las epocas que tengas ventiscas, siempre hay que sacar la fuerza del lugar del imposible y vencer contra viento y marea. Por eso mucha gente me considera tonta por ser como soy pero yo ser inteligente cuando debo de serlo, ahi esta la cuestion, saber por donde andas en el camino de la vida. *Deylun* Gracias Paulo por alentarme con esas palabras, me has conmovido y al terminar me has dado fuerzas para seguir caminando con ilusión.

There is so much more which can and needs to be said, but in rereading my initial post, I saw a couple of points which truly need to be made. Today, my inner children are number one in my life, and everything else is number two. She and I are one, and I will never abandon her again, no matter what. I do a check-in with her dozens of times each day, and I check in with her via journeying at least once each day and most days twice each day; morning and evening. The very BEST, bar none, part of this is that my heart has opened again. I cry a lot, and the tears are full body/from the cellular level; not out of sadness so much any more, but out of sheer, overpowering feelings of pure Love! And as her heart and my heart touched and merged, I again became what and who I was born to be. I love everybody, I am in love with everybody. I can love again. I am not afraid to love again. Living and not loving is not living. I might get creamed again out there in the world, but I'll not proceed again, I'll not venture forward again without my Love. The next to the best part is that as in The Holy Instant, for those familiar with A Course in Miracles, just a small concentrate of love (which is pure light) will cover all of the darkness. I remember going through a pinhole of light to the other side and feeling like I'd fallen into the vastness most brilliant, and I saw everything around me as if it was animated and vibrating musically, synched up, like a grand orchestra. This is how a child sees the world. What a gift. And I wish it for everyone. It is Heaven on Earth, as it was meant to be, or certainly can be, and we all know this to be true. Ahhhh, the gift of children, brought to us by those who take the road less traveled, as you, Paulo, have so graciously done for us. Thank you. Namaste, Jill Second post by me about Inner Child.

Inner Child work became a part of my life, quite unexpectedly, by default, following something I could not get past, which had come suddenly and got darker and darker. There is a wonderful person (Master?), who is accessible, does journeying-teaches us how to journey, but fortunately for me, answered the phone and 'drove' the journey when I got into trouble in my third solo journey. My inner child would not come out; then, trusting in the unconditional love of this man, she did, and I learned why she was afraid. What I never knew was just how horridly I had treated her, not knowing I had, since that time. She'd tagged along, put up with me as I 'succeeded'. But in the end, she, having the real power (of emotions, while I'd done quite well with my wit, wisdom and intellect), shut me down and said 'Uh-uh, no more; I'm done. You will STOP and take care of me now.' I am so glad she did! I have discovered HER again, and all of my inner children, who left me when these things occurred. We reconnected at the heart; my heart opened. It had to, in order for her to begin to trust me again. And she is beginning to. And the most amazing thing is how I see all of life now - differerntly. I thought I'd been operating from my heart. I was an advocate, a feminist. Now, while I am still those things, I see that our challenge is to address the fulcrum area: the childhood area. In doing this personal work, I see my little brother as having experienced the same type but more incidents of abuse than I (if it can happen in my family, it can happen in any family). In our society, in our world, at this time, my brother, as a male, will process and deal with his life experience differently than I will, as a female. The problem, the challenge is not a gender one, although it becomes that later on. It is about the children. It is about the children, it is about the children.......

Upon reading this, I have been moved by your words. As I have been a risk taker myself in many instances since I was a child… Even until now, I can say that I’m risking my mind… my heart to a man whom I never thought nor imagined I will meet in a foreign land. Different cultures, different beliefs and different traditions are in between us. Despite the fact that one day, we may part ways and somehow move on; I still love him- agreed to be his lover and friend. It actually scares and even pains me when it crosses my mind that we may never end up together as happily married couples in the future. But what can I do? We love and want each other. Maybe it really boils down to this: “Happiness is at times a blessing – but usually it’s a conquest. The magic instant helps us to change, drives us forward to seek our dreams.” Thus, I pray and hope that amidst everything, we will turn out fine and someday, we’ll look back from this moment and tell ourselves, “its worth fighting for.” Thanks for the inspiration Paulo. More power! Good day to you Sir Paulo!

is it risking failure, another failure,

is it risking wasted efforts, again ! and again and again.

is it risking a heartbreak, risking rejection !!

risking appearing a fool, risking ridicule,

as child we don’t know if there is risk involved, we just act and then as we grow up successes and failures, rewards and punishement, admiration and ridicule, makes us evaluate risk in actions. a life lived without risking anything, is like a life spent in a tomb, a very safe risk free place. takes risks, not for the sake of taking risks but for chasing that elusive dream called happiness.

are two required for love, a must, a prerequiste. love is internal ? one can be in a loving state ? the love paulo speaks of above is that love which we seek imagining that it will complete us, make us whole, but everyone who has ventured in that direction ultimately comes to same conclusion, no other human being will be able to make anyone feel complete, forever. that completeness may come only when there is a unios of that interal male and internal female in each of us.

love

Hay un pequeño detalle…Dios se manifestó ante nosotros mostrándonos al mundo entero que la mayoría de los niños en este mundo no son felices, no tienen sueños, no leen cuentos, no creen en milagros, no saben de juegos inocentes, no creen en lo que ellos realmente son,¿ por que cada vez hay mas maldad?..Por que no se hace presenté la inocencia. No hay instantes mágicos, y ¿por que sucede esto?...por que el adulto se olvido de trasmitirle el niño que lleva dentro, ya nadie le encuentra sentido a lo simple, a lo espontáneo a lo puro!...y ¿por que hay tantos niños así? Por que somos nosotros los que nos olvidamos de nuestra propia magia interior Hola!

I was speechless after I read this issue. It came at a perfect time in my life. I'm not proud of it but I've become almost paralyzed in the safe, monotonous but at times unsatisfying world that I've created for myself. I used to paint and even managed to sell a few paintings but after receiving a few rejections I froze and became unable to paint again. I have a career to fall back on and listened to my parents advice and completely let go of my "foolish" childish dream to paint. I feel professionally and financially secure but empty. Recently, I've been feeling the urge to paint again but I stop myself when I give in to the fears and insecurity that re-surface each time I want to give my dream another chance. This passage was a wake up call for me. Thank you. Thank you for writing this. I was speechless after I read this issue. It came at a perfect time in my life.
