Remember that when everything goes wrong, it always can get worse!

What are the chances that when something goes wrong, then everything that day will continue getting wrong?
This is what happened to me today. I woke up earlier than what I was supposed to, even thought I had slept late due to the dog’s needs. Oh, yes, I got a dog from the street and he is staying in my apartment until I figure out his destiny. Then at midnight, I realized that he needed a walk. We ended up 1 hour later at the apartment, the dog in mood of paying around.
I decided to go to the gym at 6:00 and then came back 1 hour later, the dog was awake, and a nice pup was on his pillow…And from that moment on the course of the day started…
Shower, cleaning the dog shit, feeding the bastard, driving to the airport, check in, only to find out I was 30 min. earlier. Talked to Dani, who was arriving 30 min. before my take off and we agreed to meet and exchange keys. Then I waited his flight to arrive, reading a book or whatever, checking with the information desk if there will be ay delay and they confirmed that it would no be the case.  Then at exactly 9:00 supposedly landing time, the panel shows: contact the air company! Which meant that some delay or worse could have happened. Then I rushed to the car, drove to the private parking area. The employee could not find my online reservation and they were full, finally she got gentle and allowed me to park. I left dani´s data to be able to pick up the car. I left all in a hurry, carrying my heavy laptop bag and the case with the device, some 4 kg each and rushing to the airport some 3 minutes walking distance, when I was passing to the X-rays, I saw that I had with me the car keys! Had to g all the way back carrying a trolley bag… and delivered the keys went all the way back, taking my bags from the trolley cart, this one fell on the ground, everybody turned over to see me…embarrassing moments…
I was 10 minutes from take off! At the last exit, an employee of the air company was looking for me! She led me to the van, and then Dani called me. The employee asked me to turn it off, said to dani the info and turn it off. I finally collapsed in my chair exhausted for the whole flight!
Arriving to Campo Grande, I had another surprise; the client was not going to meet me at 10:00, but at 15:00! It is the birthday of the city and he went fishing… I guess there are different rhythms here!!!
I decided to go to the hotel and leave my staff. On the way after speaking on my mobile phone, I left it on my lap and it fell behind the chair…. Since I could not reach it, we decided with the taxi driver to pick it up later. Result, we totally forget it.
The only cool thing of the day, the hotel let me check in at 11:00.
Then I had a shower and decide to walk around. The city was deserted 100%.  After a long walk under the sun, I found a SUBWAY and had a huge sandwich. Then while eating it, did not realized that the sauce had stained my only trouser…
I
Well that was the last drop. I decided that I will go back to the hotel and rest or the rest of my time until the client appears….
Finally the client delayed an extra 1:30 hour. The installation at his laptop did not work out, a first time ever problem that we could not resolve. And the day after stuck in the hotel all day waiting for my flight back.
But how all of these can go wrong at the same time! What are the odds?
Well, I just had to face it, but definatelly this place will not bring any good memories to me…

memorias

Muitos anos atrás, adorava esta canção....que encotrei no facebook por acaso.


Quanto tempo atrás, mais parece que foi ontem...
Engraçado, como os sentimentos despertados acordam...com um sinal, algo que foi vinculado na memoria.
Tempo é uma ilusão, uma vez que a única realidade é o presente. Não sinto nostalgia para minha vida passada, mais com certeza vivi intensamente a essentia de cada momento. Olhando para atrás, vejo tantas vidas, dentro da minha vida, algumas parece que nem me reconheço...
Os filtros da experiencia adquirida, tiram o sentimento original impossibilitando reviver aquele momento do passado. O que não acontece numa sessão de vidas passadas, onde vôce vive o momento inteiramente...
Nem sei porque estou escrevendo tudo isso, faz algum sentido?
Pois, voltarei logo no agora, e começo trabalhar... mais como é gostosa uma escapadinha da memoria algumas vezes...

My Natal experience

And there I was after a few days work in Natal, one day free, and this is what happened:

Brazil bendida patria

So tem uma coisa que realmente me faz indignado neste país. A bureaucracia no Brasil é o peor mal. Agora recebí este emial e concordo plenamente com isso, a final das coisas eu não nasci aqui mais fez uma escolha bendida...
Os brasileiros acham que o mundo todo presta, menos o Brasil, realmente parece que é um vício falar mal do Brasil. Todo lugar tem seus pontos positivos e negativos, mas no exterior eles maximizam os positivos, enquanto no Brasil se maximizam os negativos. Aqui na Holanda, os resultados das eleições demoram
horrores porque não há nada automatizado.
Só existe uma companhia telefônica e pasmem!: Se você ligar reclamando do serviço, corre o risco de ter seu telefone temporariamente desconectado.
Nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, ninguém tem o hábito de enrolar o sanduíche em um guardanapo - ou de lavar as mãos antes de comer. Nas padarias, feiras e açougues europeus, os atendentes recebem o dinheiro e com mesma mão suja entregam o pão ou a carne.

Em Londres, existe um lugar famosíssimo que vende batatas fritas enroladas em folhas de jornal - e tem fila na porta.

Na Europa, não-fumante é minoria. Se pedir mesa de não-fumante, o garçom ri na sua cara, porque não existe. Fumam até em elevador.

Em Paris, os garçons são conhecidos por seu mau humor e grosseria e qualquer garçom de botequim no Brasil podia ir pra lá dar aulas de 'Como conquistar o Cliente'.

Você sabe como as grandes potências fazem para destruir um povo? Impõem suas crenças e cultura. Se você parar para observar, em todo filme dos EUA a bandeira nacional aparece, e geralmente na hora em que estamos emotivos..

Vocês têm uma língua que, apesar de não se parecer quase nada com a língua portuguesa, é chamada de língua portuguesa, enquanto que as empresas de software a chamam de português brasileiro, porque não conseguem se comunicar com os seus usuários brasileiros através da língua Portuguesa.

Os brasileiros são vitimas de vários crimes contra a pátria, crenças,cultura, língua, etc... Os brasileiros mais esclarecidos sabem que temos muitas razões para resgatar suas raízes culturais.

Os dados são da Antropos Consulting:

1. O Brasil é o país que tem tido maior sucesso no combate à AIDS e de outras doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, e vem sendo exemplo mundial.

2. O Brasil é o único país do hemisfério sul que está participando do Projeto Genoma.

3.. Numa pesquisa envolvendo 50 cidades de diversos países, a cidade do Rio de Janeiro foi considerada a mais solidária.

4. Nas eleições de 2000, o sistema do Tribunal Regional Eleitoral (TRE) estava informatizado em todas as regiões do Brasil, com resultados em menos de 24 horas depois do início das apurações. O modelo chamou a atenção de uma das maiores potências mundiais: os Estados Unidos, onde a apuração dos votos teve que ser refeita várias vezes, atrasando o resultado e colocando em xeque a credibilidade do processo.

5.. Mesmo sendo um país em desenvolvimento, os internautas brasileiros representam uma fatia de 40% do mercado na América Latina.

6. No Brasil, há 14 fábricas de veículos instaladas e outras 4 se
instalando, enquanto alguns países vizinhos não possuem nenhuma.

7. Das crianças e adolescentes entre 7 a 14 anos, 97,3% estão estudando.

8. O mercado de telefones celulares do Brasil é o segundo do mundo, com 650 mil novas habilitações a cada mês.

Na telefonia fixa, o país ocupa a quinta posição em número de linhas instaladas.

10. Das empresas brasileiras, 6.890 possuem certificado de qualidade ISO-9000, maior número entre os países em desenvolvimento. No México, são apenas 300 empresas e 265 na Argentina.

11.. O Brasil é o segundo maior mercado de jatos e helicópteros executivos..

Por que vocês têm esse vício de só falar mal do Brasil?

1. Por que não se orgulham em dizer que o mercado editorial de livros é maior do que o da Itália, com mais de 50 mil títulos novos a cada ano?

2. Que têm o mais moderno sistema bancário do planeta?

3. Que suas agências de publicidade ganham os melhores e maiores prêmios mundiais?

4. Por que não falam que são o país mais empreendedor do mundo e que mais de 70% dos brasileiros, pobres e ricos, dedicam considerável parte de seu tempo em trabalhos voluntários?

5. Por que não dizem que são hoje a terceira maior democracia do mundo?

6. Que apesar de todas as mazelas, o Congresso está punindo seus próprios membros, o que raramente ocorre em outros países ditos civilizados?

7. Por que não se lembram que o povo brasileiro é um povo hospitaleiro, que se esforça para falar a língua dos turistas, gesticula e não mede esforços para atendê-los bem?

Por que não se orgulham de ser um povo que faz piada da própria desgraça e que enfrenta os desgostos sambando.

É! O Brasil é um país abençoado de fato.
Bendito este povo, que possui a magia de unir todas as raças, de todos os credos.

Bendito este povo, que sabe entender todos os sotaques.
Bendito este povo, que oferece todos os tipos de climas para contentar toda gente.
Bendita seja, querida pátria chamada
Brasil!!

Amor de almas

A permuta de células sexuais entre os seres encarnados, garantindo a continuidade das formas físicas em processo evolucionario, é apenas um aspecto das multiformes permutas de amor.
Importa reconhecer que o intercambio de forças simpáticas, de fluídos combinados, de vibrações sintonizadas entre almas que se amam, paira acima de qualquer exteriorização tangível de afeto, sustentando obras imperecíveis de vida e de luz, nas limitadas esferas do Universo.
pelo espírito Andre Luis, texto do livro psicografado No Mundo Maior em 1947.
ou seja, tem muitos níveis o amor e a sua expressão no sexo que não e só para procriar, almas e não homens ou mulheres entram em contato, não importa o sexo deles mais se eles se amam...

Agora dedicado aos meus amigos gregos e a viagem que fizemos em peru... o ulitmo video que criei...

Παρέα περουβιάνικη Ελλήνων, Αν έβαζα ένα τίτλο θα το ονόμαζα τα ευτράπελα...
too personal to share...

Video creation

Yesterday I finished the last of the Peru journey videos. One month later and this trip is so alive within me as none before...
This is from the archeological site known to the turists as Sexy Woman, due to the similar sound of the original name...


Και φυσικά η τρομερή παρεά που σχηματίσαμε στο Περού έχει την τιμητική της σε αυτό το βίντεο. Το καλύτερο δώρο που μπορώ να προσφέρω σε όλα τα μέλη της παρεάς, είναι να αποθανατίσω όσο γίνεται τις πολύτιμες στιγμές που ζήσαμε εκει.
Σας ευχαριστώ όλους σας, είστε όλοι μέσα στην καρδία μου.

This final video, is too personal and way too greek to explain. It is my personal present to all of my peruvian greek team!

Matsu Pitsu

And the first day of this year started in a wonderful place.

I created this video and almost cried waching it... But after such an adventurous and tiring day, the moment to have some fun came in a most unexpected way...


Let´s enjoy everymoment of out time here on earth and contribute to make it a better place... Thank you peru for the wonderful moments.

My journey to Peru

So, here I am, back to the reality. Until yesterday I was in a differnt altitute, now only the sense of time is a bit strange, landing to reality is not easy....
My journey to Peru, was one of my most wonderful experiences, mainly due to the group dynamics, because what makes a journeys unforgetabe, is not the places that make it special, but the experiences and the people you are with or you meet.
My videos can give a vague idea of what that journey was.:
My journey started 1 day before I finally get on that plane, it was a great lesson for me.

My great joy to be reunited with old and new friends, to the first ceremony to Moray...



But it was the water ceremony that mostly marked us all, the greatness of the feelings and the visions could never fit into this video, but still I captured some parts:

Last day of the year and we are on the way to Matsu Pitchu...

The dawn of a new decade found us all on that magnificent place...

Alchemist

Just finished the book of Eckhart Tolle and of course it could only be in a really magick way.
And the writter could not have described in a better way this blog.

Become an alchemist. Transmute base metal into gold, suffering into consciousness, disaster into enlightenment.



Whenever any kind of disaster strikes, or something goes seriously "wrong", know that there is another side to it, that you are just one step away from something incredible: a complete alchemical transmutation of the base metal of pain and suffering into gold. That one step is called surrender.


My trip to Peru is now finished, but turned to be an impressive spiritual journey that will never forgot and this book really enlightened me.
Thank you Tolle from my heart.

New year on the Matsu Pitsu that was a big present I did to myself.

Could not have thought of any better way to start this new decade.

The end of a decade

And here we are it is the end of the first decade of this century...

This year´s end and the begining of the next will be marked by a spiritual journey in Peru with very good friends cotravelers...

I am very happy to realize an old dream, meditating on the Matsu Pitsu. I was fascinated reading the 9th insight mnay years ago, could not even imagine the conditions that today is leading me to this fascinating adventure...

A couple of days ago all my spiritual group activities were finalized. In one of them one spirit trhough a medium informed me that big natural disasters are happening in Greece. Many animals will or did die, he said. I am so far away, that did not hear anything about it, will have to check it, but with the whole climate mess in Europe, greece probably is suffering from this too... He mentioned that this is a necessary process of these times..

So I will close with a message by a spirit guide João da Serra Grande on a free translation:

Eliminate from your mind your autolimitations. For long time you have been criating barriers of autolimitation around your fisical, mental and spiritual capacity. No doubt you could demonstrate much more of your great capacity.

It is not only body force that you can manifest, but you fisical body serves as a simple conductor of the infinite power of God, that expreses in your inside in order to be projected to this fenomenal world. Even if you are thin, this does not mean that your power is weak. If the conductor is straight, might not be able to circulate huge quantity of water in one time only, but it can express the infinite energy without pause.

Before anything else, you should eliminate tyour negative thinking, which limitates yourself, as if your existence is only carnal.

Increase your conviction that you are body, mind and spirit (guardian angel) as son of the God.

A marvelouse existence that contains inside an infinite capacity. Believe!

The power of now

I am fascinated with the book of Eckhart Tolle´s book The power of Now. Still I am reading it as he suggest, slowly (mainly because free time is not really available these days).
So this is a part of the book that really is the essence (so far) for me:
To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in tiem : the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticiation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

This is the best phrase I read in the last 2 years, and I am reading amazing material....
Felt like sharing it with you all...

São Paulo was flooded yesterday, I was working like crazy all weekend and continued in the same rythm after that... People think that success is luck or it happens, but it actually requires a lot of work... I do not understand how people expect to get more without working... sometimes I wonder if I am so different that the people around me... I always praise the people who manage to get successful in their work, if somebody is good at what is doing why not have success? Then people see only competition and rivals around them, when with a different way of thinking the ones that are rivals could be partners and colaborate. Today our product incomodate one doctor who did not come to ask about it, to understan what it serves for, and he send the responsible to ask us to remove it...From what the responsible said it was clear that the doctor thought that my device could substitute the medical doctor in his function!!! But this is so stupid, how on earth can this happen? He saw a threat where actually there is a solution for his day to day problems... But insecurity causes this, people what power thinking that they can controle life factors, they want to guarantee their security, by stoping the flow of life. And this doctor is no different that the others. The majority of the doctors turn to be doctor fearing illiness and death, thinking in their unconsious that by beeing the guy who can control sickness and death, they are immune to death. That is why they turn to be terrible towards their pacients and they do not love their proffession. The worst is that they cause plenty of obstacles to the ones that are trying to improve things, they are scared of changes, because this means loosing control....
When we all learn how to trust life energy and let go with the flow of our life we will really reach the inner success and happiness, cause we will do what we are really need to and like to do, cause our minds are full of ideas and impressions, that blinds us in front of our real needs and likes.

Οι μέρες της Αθήνας

Οι μέρες της Αθήνας πέρασαν γρήγορα κυρίως με συναντήσεις φίλων και κάποιες δουλείες. Μέσα σε αυτά διευθέτησα κάποιες εκκρεμότητες που με δένανε με την ελληνική πραγματικότητα… ¨Ήμουν κάτοχος οχήματος, το οποίο πέρασα πλέον σε συγγενή μου, έκλεισα τραπεζικούς λογαριασμούς,  καθάρισα την εναπομείνασα γκαρνταρόμπα μου, τέτοια πράγματα, που με έκαναν να ξεκαθαρίζω μέσα μου τις προθέσεις μου να μην επιστρέψω πλέον ποτέ πίσω…  Όταν ανακάλυψα τις παλιές φωτογραφίες μου, διαφόρων κατορθωμάτων, ταξιδιών ερώτων, και στη αρχική πρόθεση μου να τα πάρω, ένα συναίσθημα με κατέκλισε αρνούμενο να το πάρω… Μια ρήξη με τον παλιό μου εαυτό.. Γιατί να χρειάζομαι τα αποδεικτικά αναμνήσεων, στην Βραζιλία? Από εκείνο το σημείο, διάφορες αναμνήσεις αναδύονταν στην αθηναϊκή μου περιπλάνηση αυτών των ημερών…
Η ζωή μου είναι ριζοσπαστικά διαφορετική, έκανα μια επιλογή που με άλλαξε τόσο, που δύσκολα αναγνωρίζω τις παλιές συμπεριφορές και πράξεις… μια ωρίμανση… Δεν διαγράφω τίποτα από το παρελθόν μου, είναι εκεί και αποτελώ το αποτέλεσμα όλων αυτών των χρόνων… όλων των μικρών και μεγάλων επιλογών.
Μιλώντας με φίλους, είδα την τεράστια δυσκολία που έχουν να αγαπήσουν ή να αγαπηθούν. Είναι εντυπωσιακό το πόσο κάποιοι άνθρωποι δεν καταφέρνουν να κάνουν σχέση, αλλά το πρόβλημα είναι ότι δεν αντιλαμβάνονται ότι το πρόβλημα δεν είναι οι άλλοι αλλά οι ίδιοι… Πώς να κάνεις μια σχέση εάν, είσαι κολλημένος στην προηγούμενη, ή οριοθετείς ότι κάθε νέα επαφή καθοδηγώντας για μια νύχτα σεξ, όταν ξέρεις ότι έτσι εσύ χάνεις την μαγεία και το ενδιαφέρον¿  Μα οι άνθρωποι ξέχασαν την τέχνη του φλερτ, της προσδοκίας που εξιτάρει και ανεβάζει την σεροτονινη, αναμένουν να έχουν μια σχέση με τον τέλειο πρίγκιπα δίχως να έχουν  πρώτα μια εμπειρία συμβίωσης με έναν όχι τόσο τέλειο… Στο κάτω κατώ δεν υπάρχουν τέλειοι πρίγκιπες, αλλά και εάν εμφανιστούν το πιο πιθανό είναι να φύγουν τρέχοντας από την έλλειψη κατανόησης, την εκδήλωση του εγωισμού, ή τα καπρίτσια… Μια σχέση απαιτεί την προδιάθεση της Θυσίας, διότι απαιτεί καταρχάς την θυσία του ελεύθερου χρόνου και του εγώ σε αντιστάθμιση με τα οφέλη μιας κοινής ζωής με έναν άλλο διαφορετικό άνθρωπο…
Οι σχέσεις είναι όπως όλα στην ζωή, απαιτούν κόπο και εργασία, απαιτούν να αφιερώνεις χρόνο, και συναίσθημα, να νοιάζεσαι για έναν άλλο σαν να ήταν εσύ…
Δεν υπάρχουν συνταγές, και η ευτυχία μας εξαρτάται μόνο από εμάς…
Ένας βάτραχος μπορεί να μετατραπεί σε πρίγκιπα, εάν είσαι έτοιμος να σκύψεις και να τον φιλήσεις, να θυσιάσεις το Εγώ και να φτάσεις στο χαμηλότερο επίπεδο του βατράχου όπως το αντιλαμβάνεσαι, φέρνοντας τον στις πραγματικές διαστάσεις… Τα ωραιότερα τοπία είναι οι άνθρωποι, αρκεί να τα ατενίσεις….

In Athens for a week

In athens for a week, meetings freinds, family, working, and the best tasting greek food and visiting the new acropolis museum... Worth visiting...watch the videos especially the one regarding moving the artefacts... To my pleasnt syrprise one of the best oriental pastries of Thessaliniki opened a new unit in the center os Athens...

Σήμερα έκανα μια τρομερή ανακάλυψη που με χαροποίησε πάρα πολύ. Επιτέλους άνοιξε Χατζής στην Αθήνα, ένα πραγματικά μεγάλο βήμα στην πορεία προσέγγισης μεταξύ βορείου και νοτίου Ελλάδος… ε οι χαμουτζήδες τώρα μπορούμε να απολαύουμε τις θεϊκές γεύσης που μέχρι πριν μόλις 500 και κάτι χιλιόμετρα ήταν προσιτές.

Δεν ξέρω πόσες φορές στην διαδρομή του τρένου από την Θράκη έκανα την τρέλα για την μισή ώρα που το τρένο σταματούσε στον σταθμό της Θεσσαλονίκης, να κατεβαίνω, να παίρνω το λεωφορείο να κατεβαίνω στον κοντινότερο Χατζή, να αγοράζω ότι προλαβαίνω, σεκέρ παρέ, ταούκ γιοκτσούκ, δάχτυλα του πασά, Καζάν ντιπι, κτλ, να τρέχω και να αρπάζω το πρώτο λεωφορείο και να μπαίνω στο τρένο λεπτά πριν ξεκινήσει για Αθήνα. Και όλο αυτό το τρέξιμο, μόνο και μόνο για να φάμε οικογενειακώς στην πρωτεύουσα, ότι καλύτερο έχει να επιδείξει σε ανατολίτικες λιχουδιές ο Βορράς…

Αυτην την φορα δοκιμασα ενα νεο, μια κρεμα απο μαστιχα χιου, που με ξετρελανε...

Ναι βέβαια αυτή η κάθοδος των ζαχαροπλαστείων του Βορρά είχε αρχίσει πολλά χρόνια πριν, και όλα συγκεντρώνονταν στο Σύνταγμα. Έτσι μπορεί κανείς να βρε πλέον στην αττική τα τρομερά γεμιστά τσουρέκια του Τρελή, τρίγωνα πανοράματος κτλ, αλλά κατά την ταπεινή μου γνώμη ο χατζής είναι το καλύτερο ζαχαροπλαστείο της Θεσσαλονίκης… Το μόνο που ίσως με στεναχωρεί είναι ότι χάνω ένα κίνητρο και αρκετά ισχυρό για να ανεβαίνω στον Θερμαϊκό… από την άλλη βέβαια, που να έχω την δυνατότητα να το κάνω αυτό, τις λίγες μέρες της παραμονής μου στην Ελλάδα, προλαβαίνω να κάνω σχεδόν κανένα από τα μεγαλεπήβολα σχέδια μου, πολύ λιγότερο να ταξιδέψω…

Πάντως εντύπωση μου έκανε η τρομερή αύξηση των αυτοκινήτων στην Ελλάδα, όπου πλέον δεν διανοείσαι ούτε καν την πιθανότητα να βρεις παρκινγκ σε καμία περιοχή της Αθήνας…. Το μετρό  είναι η μόνη σωτήρια και οικονομική λύση…

Μια άλλη ευχάριστη αλλαγή ήταν η στοά στην Κλαυθμώνος που στο παρελθόν ήταν μια εγκαταλειμμένη άθλια και παρακμιακή τρύπα, και πλέον είναι πέρασμα, με ωραία μαγαζιά για καφέ και φαγητό…

Το κερασάκι στην τούρτα ήταν το μουσείο Ακρόπολης, το οποίο ήταν απλά υπέροχο, και σε αυτό θα πω ότι είναι εντυπωσιακό το έργο που έγινε ενώνοντας το σήμερα και το χθες , ενός μνημείου που το βλέπεις μπροστά σου, στο σύνολό του, αλλά και δομημένο με όλα τα διασωζόμενα τμήματα των διαζωμάτων. Ο τελευταίος όροφος είναι μια τρομερή σύλληψη  για την ένωση του μνημείου με τα διακοσμητικά του τμήματα μέσα στο μουσείο…

Μου θύμισε εκείνη την ταινία το μετέωρο βήμα του πελαργού του Αγγελόπουλου, όπου ο γαμπρός και η νύφη παντρεύονται εικονικά σε αντίθετες μεριές του ποταμού με τα 2 σόγια να παρευρίσκονται στην τελετή μεταξύ συνόρων ή σαν το θεατρικό του Μπεντ στην πιο ερωτική σκηνή του έργου όπου οι πρωταγωνιστές κάνουν νοητικό έρωτα 

Πολύ καλό και το ντοκιμαντέρ στην είσοδο σχετικά με την κατασκευή και μεταφορά των εκθεμάτων στο μουσείο. Μπορώ να πω ότι είναι πολύ καλή η τοποθεσία των καρυάτιδων με την εκλιπούσα να έντονα απούσα από τις αδερφές της…

Νομίζω ότι μπορεί να υπάρχουν πολλά μουσεία στον κόσμο, με πολλά εκθέματα, αλλά το μουσείο της Ακρόπολης είναι μοναδικό στον τρόπο που δένει τα εκθέματά του με τον φυσικό τους χώρο προέλευσης και τα προβάλει με τρόπο απλά μοναδικό…

Cidade maravilhosa - marvelhous city 2016

Cidade Maravilhosa won the Olympic games...
One more time will be present in an Olympic games.
I got the chills when I read the new today. I am totally concentrated on my daily issues that I had no idea about the canditature of RJ.
Madrid again lost the Olympic games, what a pity, for them it is a great city, but during summer it is not the best option to be there.



At least the video is very brazilian and nice...
My life has improved the last few weeks, a new restaurant the Barvara cafe is open and the quality of my lunch has improved 100%.

 Next week will be in Porto de Galinha, northern coast of Brazil, we deserve some rest after all this workload. Naturally we will not only rest, we will have to work, but will not be too worried about it.

By the way, I will have to be in Maimi on Dezember, and planning a spiritual journey to Peru fro new year... Suddenly too many traveling is predicted... November is already planned for Paris and Athens....

Let's see how thing will be.

Blogging era

It ´s been long time I am a blogger, and I really enjoyed meeting bloggers virtually, but it was always better when we met in the real life. Latetly my bussiness are increasing and there is no more time to spend on this blog anymore. Yesterday, decided to change the model of the blog. It has been some time now that the last model was totally unstructured, so it was one more think to do.
But changing I lost all the links of my fellow bloggers that I have been following...
Started to add a couple of then, and then I resisted...
what is the point? Investing in the blog is always a personal pleasure of criation, but it only an illusion...
I will keep up posting, but only when I feel like it and have time for it. I will determine the time I want to spend here and will expose my thought and ideas...
the purpose is to share this with the rest of the world...
maybe there is something usefull for somebody in it...

Agosto...

Ai que saudades da grecia, agora é verão, atenas é vazia, tudo o mundo na praia, relaxadoooo... e eu a contra partida, trabalhando como loco, uf!
Não da tempo mais para nada, tanto trabalho que tenho. No ultimo fim de semana, recebemos o chefão dos EUA, organizamos 2 eventos grandes para ele, foi tudo bom. Deu um trabalho danado, mais o resultado foi positivo no fim.
Ultimamente estou curtindo muito dirigir o caro e ouvir material espirita em mp3. Um Domingo baixei monte mp3 de literatura ou palestra espíritas, disponíveis no internet. Assim, ouvi 2 livros, que de outro modo não teria condição de leer. Ontem estava ouvinod a palestra deste cara pelo nome http://www.nazarenofeitosa.blogspot.com/ onde analizava a homosexulaidade e espiritismo, e ele revelou uns partes particulares da vida dele, muito emocionantes mesmo, fiquei muito emocionado ouvindo isso. Mais quando todo o cd acabou, decidí colocar um poucinho de musica grega, e estou relembrando todas aquelas canções gregar super populares que nunca ouvi desde que estou neste país... que vontage de ir com meus amigos e dancar numa taverna tipica grega...
Mais sei bem que se morava em Atenas, por acaso, seria muito raro sair para dancar...
anyway, vou dormir pois amahna tem mais compromissos e trabalho...

Το κλειδί των τύψεων και μια προσευχή

‘Ήμουν χθες στο πνευματιστικό κέντρο, όπου διαβάζαμε ένα από τα βιβλία του Αντρέ Λουίζ, ψυχογραφημένο από το μέντιουμ Σίκο Ξαβιέ. Με εντυπωσίασε ένα λήμμα, στο οποίο τα πνεύματα συνομιλούν ξεκαθαρίζοντας το πώς μπορεί να γίνει ο κατατρεγμός κάποιου από ψυχές που έχει αδικήσει. Ουσιαστικά η σύνδεση μεταξύ κατατρεγμένου και διώκτη μπορεί να γίνει μόνο όταν και οι δύο βρίσκονται στο ίδιο πνευματικό συντονισμό. Εάν ο καταδιωκόμενος αναγνωρίζοντας το κακό που προκάλεσε στον καταδιώκτη του, εκπέσει απλά στις τύψεις και ουσιαστικά με τις σκέψεις του επιτρέψει ένα άνοιγμα στον διώκτη, τότε γίνεται μια σύνδεση και ο καταδιωκόμενος γίνεται έρμαιο του διώκτη του (με την ασυνείδητη συναίνεση). Εντυπωσιασμένος από αυτό, το οποίο είναι κανόνας και στην απλή γήινη διάσταση που βρισκόμαστε, όπου αυτό το βλέπουμε σε σχέσεις εξάρτησης και εξουσίας, στο κείμενο ξεκαθαρίζει ότι αυτό δεν θα συμβεί όταν αναγνωρίζοντας κάποιος τις ευθύνες του και το κακό που προκάλεσε στον διώκτη του, αντί να εκπέσει στην παραπάνω νοοτροπία του θύτη και του θύματος μέσω της παράδοσης στις τύψεις του, κινηθεί προς επανόρθωση της κατάστασης και ανατροπή του κλίματος. Μπορεί κανείς να νιώσει τύψεις σε μια πρώτη φάση, αναγνωρίζοντας το σφάλμα του, αλλά η αντίδραση και προσπάθεια επιδιόρθωση, όχι μόνο δεν θα επαναφέρει την ισορροπία στον ίδιο, αλλά και θα ωφελήσει και τον διώκτη του.
Ας σκεφτούμε τώρα ότι μες τις χιλιάδες εκατομμύρια προηγούμενες ζωές μας, έχουμε αδικήσει κόσμο και κοσμάκη, όλο και με κάποιον θα συναντησούμε, ο οποίος θα μας αντιπαθήσει με την πρώτη ματιά, και ας μην ξέρει και ο ίδιος το γιατί! Με το φως αυτής της γνώσης, ίσως θα πρέπει να είμαστε πιο ευέλικτοι και να δείξουμε κατανόηση ότι δεν γνωρίζουμε τα πάντα, και να αντιδράσουμε όχι επιθετικά, οξύνοντας την αντιπαράθεση.Φαντάσου να θυμόμαστε την προηγούμενη ζωή μας, όπου βασανίσαμε και σκοτώσαμε τον τύπο, δίκιο δεν θα έχει να μας έχει στην μπούκα? Τότε δεν θα είχαμε τρομερές τύψεις και θα πέφταμε στην παγίδα παραπάνω? Ευτυχώς δεν το θυμόμαστε, αλλά μπορούμε να αποενεργοποιήσουμε αυτή την καρμική εκκρεμότητα, με το να δείξουμε κατανόηση και να μην εκδικηθούμε, να του ευχηθούμε να βρει τον δρόμο μου και άντε με το καλό. Σαφώς δεν μιλάει κανείς να μην αμυνθεί, ή να υπερασπιστεί τα δίκια του, αλλά να μην μπει σε εκείνο τον φαύλο κύκλο εκδίκησης και αντεκδίκησης, ή σχέση θύτη και θύματος, όπου ο καθένας ανταλλάσει ενέργειες, χωρίς να παράγεται κάτι από όλο αυτό…μέχρι κάποιος να συνειδητοποιήσει το αδιέξοδο της κατάστασης και να ξεφύγει…
Τώρα εάν το σκεφτούμε καλύτερα, το ίδιο συμβαίνει σε επίπεδα κοινωνιών, διακρατικών σχέσεων, κλτ…
Σήμερα, είχα την μεγάλη χαρά να μιλήσω με μια παιδική/εφηβική μου σχέση φιλίας, που είχα χάσει επικοινωνία χρόνια τώρα. Ανακάλυψα με χαρά ότι ακολουθεί μια παράλληλη πορεία, πνευματικής και συναισθηματικής εξέλιξης. Μα χάρηκα τόσο πολύ, και σκέφτηκα μέσα μου πόσο λίγο ξέρουμε, το πόσο επηρεάζουμε τους άλλους, ή το πόσο συνδεδεμένοι είμαστε ακόμα και αν φαινομενικά δεν υπάρχει καμία επαφή…Έχω μεγάλη δυσκολία να πω προσευχή, αλλά αυτό μου βγαίνει να το πω εδώ:
Ειρήνη, αγαπη και πολύ φως, άπλετο φως σε όλους μου του αδερφούς μου ενσαρκωμένους και μη….
Είθε στην δύσκολη πορεία της ζωής, στις περιπέτειες και τις προκλήσεις της καθημερινότητας τους, να εισακούσουν τις συμβουλές των πνευματικών οδηγών τους και της καρδίας τους, ώστε να πάρουν το μονοπάτι της προσωπικής τους εξέλιξης και να ολοκληρώσουν με επιτυχία την αποστολή τους στην γη…
Αμήν.

Salvação. Quien sabe se este aparelho não foi a luz dele?

Historias assim, te faz sentir que tem esperança.

Muito mais quando isso tem que ver com o meu trabalho.

Και για τους ελληνες αναγνώστες μου μια ιστορία 2 φίλων που περπατούν στην έρημο.
Κάποια στιγμή τσακώθηκαν και ο ένας από τους δύο έδωσε ένα χαστούκι στον άλλο. Αυτός ο τελευταίος, πονεμένος, αλλά χωρίς να πει τίποτα, έγραψε στην άμμο:
ΣΗΜΕΡΑ Ο ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟΣ ΜΟΥ ΦΙΛΟΣ ΜΕ ΧΑΣΤΟΥΚΙΣΕ.
Συνέχισαν να περπατούν μέχρι που βρήκαν μια όαση όπου αποφάσισαν να κάνουν μπάνιο. Αλλά αυτός που είχε φάει το χαστούκι παραλίγο να πνιγεί και ο φίλος του τον έσωσε. Όταν συνήλθε, έγραψε πάνω σε μια πέτρα: ΣΗΜΕΡΑ Ο ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟΣ ΜΟΥ ΦΙΛΟΣ ΜΟΥ ΕΣΩΣΕ ΤΗ ΖΩΗ.
Αυτός που τον είχε χαστουκίσει και στη συνέχεια του έσωσε τη ζωή, τον ρώτησε :
όταν σε χτύπησα, έγραψες πάνω στην άμμο, και τώρα έγραψες πάνω στην πέτρα. Γιατί? Ο άλλος φίλος απάντησε : «όταν κάποιος μας πληγώνει, πρέπει να το γράφουμε στην άμμο όπου οι άνεμοι της συγνώμης μπορούν να το σβήσουν.
Αλλά όταν κάποιος κάνει κάτι καλό για μας, πρέπει να το χαράζουμε στην πέτρα, όπου κανένας άνεμος δεν μπορεί να το σβήσει».

ΜΑΘΕ ΝΑ ΓΡΑΦΕΙΣ ΤΑ ΤΡΑΥΜΑΤΑ ΣΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΜΜΟ ΚΑΙ ΝΑ ΧΑΡΑΖΕΙΣ ΤΙΣ ΧΑΡΕΣ ΣΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΕΤΡΑ.
Και τώρα μια βραζιλίανικη διαφήμιση (αν δω κάτι τέτοιο αντίστοιχο στην Ελλαδα, θα πεθάνωωωω )

το στόρυ:Οικογένεια προστατεύει τον γιο από τον εραστή, διότι ο γιος δεν τον θέλει πια μια και θέλει να κάνει σεξ χωρίς προφυλακτικό!!! Καλό?! Η μάνα του λέει στο τέλος Παιδί μου, θα βρεις και έσυ ενα αγόρι που να σου αξίζει, αλλά πάντα να χρησιμοποιείς το προφλακτικό...
Adorei este anuncio! Mais tambem nunca vi!

Responisibility is a divine gift

I was in a birthday comemoration in a bar in Cambui, where I was talking with Dr. Fransisco and he mentioned to me his idea that Hell is inside (in-ferno) or better hell is the absolut EGO, while one abandons egoism and turns more sharing, more generous, more open, then he is reacing paradise, because paradise is expansion, good is expansion... The idea is stuck in my mind and today I was reading a new book I borrowed one of the series of Andre Luiz´s writen by Chico Xavier where I read the most magnificent paragraph. In one simple paragraph Andre Luis says is all the above:

he smiled, benevolent, and reminded: —Let us be convinced, however, that the evil is always in a closed circle on itself, keeping temporarily those that created it, as a cyst of short or long duration, to de dissolved, finally, in the infinite goodness, as the Intelligences that agglutinate to that evil are reeducated and become fond of the goodness. The Lord tolerates the discordance to Harmony, so that through this discondance occurs the moral readjustment of the spirits that sustain it, since the evil reacts on those that practice it, aiding them to understand the excellence and the immortality of the goodness, that it is the solid foundation of the divine Law. We all are lords of our creations and at the same time, unfortunate slaves of them or entitled to joyfullness. We ask and we obtain, but we will pay for all of the acquisitions. The responsibility is divine and nobody can escape from it.(see below the original text)

I can only agree 100% with this phrase. It is what The secret is talking about and all these new age ideas... We are the lords of our criations, good or bad, and we pay for our aquisitions. Now, why God permits evil to exist? Because we have the free will, and it is only natural that we learn through experience. We are ignorant until we have the experience, then we just acumulate experience that change us from ignorant to wise... Performing evil actions is nothing but ignorance that the consequence of your actions is only coming back to you, it is a natural law.
and it is valid not only in personal level but in social, humanity, global, universal level... We polute nature without thinking, we get back polution in our food, water, etc. We harm somebody intencionally, we get an enemy who will harm us when he gets the chance etc.. How to break this cycle? Change thoughts, do not act against anybody, do not think bad for anybody, after all he is ignorant of your experience you in the past had the same compulsions insticts, we are evolving from animals with insticts, to thinking humans and our societies are reflection of what we are individually.
Before you think or act, consider the consequences, analize the reasons and how to break the continuous cycles...
Live with concience, do not waste your valuable time of life...sorriu, benevolente, e lembrou: — Estejamos convictos, porém, de que o mal é sempre um círculo fechado sobre si mesmo, guardando temporariamente aqueles que o criaram, qual se fora um quisto de curta ou longa duração, a dissolver-se, por fim, no bem infinito, à medida que se reeducam as Inteligências que a ele se aglutinam e afeiçoam. O Senhor tolera a desarmonia, a fim de que por intermédio dela mesma se efetue o reajustamento moral dos espíritos que a sustentam, de vez que o mal reage sobre aqueles que o praticam, auxiliando-os a compreender a excelência e a imortalidade do bem, que é o inamovível fundamento da Lei. Todos somos senhores de nossas criações e, ao mesmo tempo, delas escravos infortunados ou felizes tutelados. Pedimos e obtemos, mas pagaremos por todas as aquisições. A responsabilidade é principio divino a que ninguém poderá fugir.
