My friend Olga, asked me to comment on a poem by Eugène Guillevic.

Question: Has ever light hurt you? Has ever light given you the wings? Is the light always the same? Answer: There are people that need to miss-believe in light because they are determined that sadness and pain is the ruler of their life... yes it's a blessing that Light would hurt you if you are in the dungeons of darkness and would wake you up in order to save you
You are giving wings to yourself... since... you are changing... Light is always the same! always remember: "It needs only a sparkle to eliminate even the most ancient darkness"

Question: Is there a flower That you like much? Does this flower know this? How, do you think, It will know about that? Answer: We say always: what kind of flower or tree would you be? This means if you really aware of yourself which means to admit it to yourself who you really are, then people around us... and the flowers... and the trees ... are simply our mirrors

Question: Whose power, Which power, You dream to have? And why (what would you do with it?) Answer: In my understanding this means that we need to point to our weakness... what we are "jealous of" to others... is exactly were we are weak. So it's actually a self-diagnosis on how we will recognize our main weakness and work on them after

Question: When you have chosen yourself A color, What to do with the rest ones? Answer: This has 2 scales choose = being free to choose, which is something rare colors = they all represent a feeling a chakra... name it... though, the one you select means that you are aware of and you identify yourself with that. the rest remain there, and needs effort to understand also those
Again you have the choice either not to make the effort or to do so... the final decision is yours... and it's a proof of your real freedom

Question: Does the sun leave you without any regret? Answer: First of all, why do we remember only two moments of the sun: sunrise & sunset... it's like remembering birth and death... the middle path is not important? it's like saying: my days are passing and I don't remember of them... sad...
So, in my view it's like you forget yourself in the coarse of your life... Flavor of the day: Neuchatel Chocolates
In our life we experience many illusions... Lies actually that we need to tell to ourselves in order to believe that we live the life we always wanted... the we live our Dream... Then after we face the mercy less reality we "hope" that our days will be better since we started dealing better with it. And then we hope that our work will be better... and we hope that our friends will be closer... and we hope that our wishes will come true... and we hope that we live... and we hope... and we hope... but we don't ACT!
Hoping is the cancer of Action! If you act... immediately you do not hope anymore! Action means self evolution and accomplishment of a higher level of being... Hoping means: waiting in the middle of the desert the rain to come and save you. Hoping... means at the end... death of your reality... and death is not allowed anymore...
In this moment it would be nice to:
accept that hope is what is blocking your progress
accept that actions is bringing happiness and prosperity.
In this life, we all have problems. Actually, most of the humans, realize that they are alive, because they have to face problems! It's of course important to understand the existence of the problem and bring it to a higher level of consciousness, which actually is the 50% of the solution, but it's most important to act towards the solution. Actually, it needs to commit yourself in the solution.
In order to reach a Solution, we need only one thing... to live the present time! There is no past or future on that but only n o w . In the present time, by understanding both ourselves and the situation, we have the solution in front of us. Unfortunately, we are not able to follow this. Why? Because we don't like solutions and we prefer the problems. Simply because we deeply like not being happy! Happiness is a sin... in many religions actually they had certain punishments if the followers would simply... smile!
So... I would say to stick on the solutions and not the problems! It's better to be alive than sad with negative feelings... But of course... the choice is yours...
There is path that we seldom take... the path that leads to our self understanding and to consciousness. Well, it is certain that you have heard of this many times, but still each time you hear that you get a bitter taste for not acting to that direction now. Have you ever considered why? Let's think of this for a second...
There are two major things that do not allow you to progress on reaching yourself, your past and your future... actually to make it more precise... your impressions about your past and your imagination about your future. Why is that? I read once that "past is God's punishment on humans"... would it be also future? I bet so... The reason is simple: we don't live now, in this very instant, but in the space of our mind where we develop impressions and imaginations!
Today I was washing my hands and I thought "God, I have long fingers". Seriously I have never noticed that out before... That very moment, I observed clearly my body, my mind and everything around me. So yes, this is the first level of being an observer, but again something was missing. I was not out of feelings... I was angry with myself for not having done again that observation. So, my feelings, did not allow me to observe clearly the present time!
Once I told to C. "with the full of consciousness eyes of today you have to observe your past and create your future". Try it... your life will change to that you really want!
A friend of mine, asked me "how do we reach success?". Well first of all, what is success? I believe that there are two main definitions of success; a) the image / state that our parents and teachers expected us to be and b) those that we really want to conquer. I certainly believe that if we select our present and future to be guided by (a) then failure is approaching. On the other hand, if we decide to accomplish (b) then our life will not only be successful but also happy!
Yes... being successful does not mean you will also be happy! It means that you will have the means to reach happiness. Now, a mini guide to success:
be responsible of your acts. Admit your positives and transform your negatives to positives;
be honest to yourself. The lies we tell to ourselves are the worst;
set realistic targets and commit yourself to those;
The area in the video is Maxwell Street in Chicago. I was born in Chicago and still live about 13 miles north. The whole Maxwell Street area where you see them selling items is all gone. It was torn down and new, modern, upscale condo buildings, coffee shops, cafes and university campus housing is there now. It's a completely different place. L...
Light hurts you to put you in action and light can give you wings, but is it always the same???The flower knows because if you really like it then you can make it feel your emotions .... all living (and not) beings are connected ... we are all one...The question about the power I dream to have invokes me to think (and dream) of my highest purposes ...
*smile*Interesting poem, isn't it?Actually there are 10 parts of a poem in total, at least 10 translated into Latvian, in original maybe even more. Another onesI willask you later :)always fascinating to know your opinion =)
Truth exists inside you / us / me, and the only thing you / we / I need to do is only 5 minutes per day to isolate ourselves and look inside us so finally we will reach our integrity!Thank you Cris.
Thank you for sharing your insights on your blog, it inspires me and reminds me of the truth!You also said the same in different words: With the full consciousness of today, you have to bring light into the past.The way I understand it is that if there is light in the past, there cannot be any negative emotions in the present.With this post you are...
Aah, isn't that so true? ... a well planned project only twice as long as expected. I think sometimes we forget about the update milestones piece, which is important. After all, we live in an imperfect world, yes?Thank you for sharing your insights!
in such situation I would suggest to meet them in person for a lunch perhaps... your letter most probably will end up to the recycle bin... there is nothing more valuable in sales than a sincere smile!
My company just lost a couple of customers, does anybody have like a letter saying to come back or something. I just need some samples. if you do please send them to me
Excellent point! Over here in North America, Oprah's latest inspirational show 'The Big Give' was getting all kinds of raves and deepening people's sense that to make a meaningful difference - or be a good person - we must be big, give big and do big. There's a great post over at http://modestneeds.typepad.com/modestneeds/2008/0...
fantastic article! finally it's both that we do mistakes, not only the providers but also the customers.(I am not inserting the web address or any other details of my company of course, because this opinion will damage our sales)Thank you!
