One of my favorite readings of all times has been "Como Agua para Chocolate" becuase it portrays such a cultural lifestyle of my country, plus it mixes a bit of magic on it. My favorite part is the way "Tita" the main character, is able to put her feelings into her food.
Ever since I learned how to cook I have been practicing to be better at it. And I have actually seen how the right amount of fire, and the right amount of LOVE can make a conventional dish into the best food of the day.
This is possible because of the senses, the ability we have to be transported by our senses is amazing, it can take us to the kitchen table of our grand mothers with a great bowl of Rice with bannana slices, to the beach watching a magnificent sunset.
Food is ultimetly not only to feed the body, but if you put a bit more into it, it will be food to the soul, it will be a magic carpet that transports you to earlier days, and it can be also the recording mechanism to remember TODAY.
So if you have a great day.... I guess go home cook a masterpiece and seal this day with the perfect dish, so you can go back to it some other day.
Just another way to portray how LOVE can serve as a powerful portal.
Peace

The Miracle of being here
Because you asked for it I am going back to the begining!
As I said in earlier notes, we all have a ROLE. However not 2 roles are alike. Yeah! of course, there are arquetypes, and similarities but not two people over the face of this earth will ever have the same role. They might even be assigned to the same job, but not in the same position. And that is for sure.
So, when I think about the reason of being here, I can't stop thinking that maybe I am here for a very good deed, but so are YOU!
Whenever you feel like you do not know what is your role in this play, allow yourself to take a deep breath, feel your lungs being filled with that magnificent air and feel how your body re-energizes with the essence of the prana. After you do this, tell me if that feeling of being is not a miracle.
Look in the mirror and find 1000 similar faces to yours, but tell me if it is not a miracle that not even 1 of those faces will be the exact same you. The value of life just is, you can not name the price because there is nothing like it. There are many planes of existance, but life as a human, well lets just say it might as well be a privilege. So every time you might feel like it is a course, remember that you are just looking at the wrong end of the spectrum. I am sure if you have the strenght to lift your face, you will see the opposite side and realize the blessings of being here.
When I was younger I used to imagine that earth was a school for angels. A school where everybody graduates, however the curriculum was one of the hardest. You do not have limit of time to graduate, but the key is that you have to learn. You have to go throug rough and smooth because one day, you too will have to heal a heart in dispair, and you could only do it if you at least could bagely remember what that FELT like.
The miracle is NOW, enjoy the school, and enjoy the journey.

The Art of Stalking
I have heard many times the term "stalking" and it actually even sounds creepy. And the first thing that pops in my mind is somebody behind the bushes following your every move. And indeed that is more o less the actual definition of stalker....
I would like to say today that "I am a stalker". But before you call 911 let me explain. The art of stalking is actually a very spiritual matter. It is about stalking your self, to wach your every move and make sure that you are following even your own ideals. I came across the book "The Sorcerer's Journey" by Taisha Abelar. And within this book she explains that once you go into a path of self discovery you can either Master the art of Dreaming or Stalking and even both.
To journey into the path that you may choose you need to master stalking yourself. It has several aspects to it, and it is a journey itself, however what I can say is that For several years now I have tried to practice similar philosophies in my life.
Thanks to this I have caught my self so many times before falling. I am sure that the term "Elevated consiousness" and the art of stalking are very linked together, because once you start practicing the latter, is like listeneing to a higher self which might as well be that higher and elevated consiousness.
I am a staker, I watch my word, my tought and my actions.
I will start being a dreamer, creating my own reality

Growing Pains
I am not sure that I am at a perfect state of being, or understanding or anything for that matter.
Definitely I will not agree if someone ever tells me I have "figured it out", simply because I see new lessons unfolding before my very eyes on the daily basis. So, If you continue receiving lessons, doesn't that mean that you are still learning?
We learn from day one. The way to survive, love, understand, interact and all those other nice functions a human develops. But the learning never stops. I remember being a teenager thinking that nothing could touch me. Now I see teens doing similar things with similar attitudes and it always makes me mad. It is like I want to change my past by changing them.
For now, I have assimilated that my life went were it had to go. I had strong values to get out of my young years alive and sound. I had a fierce mother that was not afraid of me and made some tough decisions for me. I will always acknowledge that.
But at the end I also know that just as teens and even me, we are all going through stages and we can only aim for the best. I am not sure that a non-rebellious teen will do such a good adult. But again, everybody is different and life has to happen so you can live and let live. Ultimately This Planet is a school, getting us ready for so many other exiting things, but the good thing about this school is that you get the perks when you listen to that sixth sense, and when you ultimately try to live in flow with the universal laws.
None can escape universal laws, some can bend them (like neo in the matrix) but after all they are the bed for human nature theories, and ultimately the background for subjects like psychology and politics.
So let's keep learning, do not try to change your past through others, you can only visualize them taking the right choice, or the right choice taking them. But that is about it....action will come out of these meditations.
But then again....I am still in the path of understanding it all

Direct Connect
All my life I have believed in something I can not see. However the day that my son was born I was able to experience so many feelings, sensations and see different things that I now can say that "I have seen it, and now I believe even more",
My son helped me realize our true nature, even tough I had the theory, my angel came and showed me that I was not nuts. I remember the first night that he was out of my womb I could still feel him inside. When my belly moved or when I used to feel a movement like the ones I use to feel when my son was inside, I would turn around and my son was moving at the same time, with the same intensity and in the same lenght of time.
At the begining I tought it was all a coincidence but after a couple of nights of observation I knew it was true. He was still inside of me, I was still protecting him and sheltering him, and I know I will keep doing it for many years to come.
Today my son and I still have that Direct Connect, I just "know him" and he "knows me" I wake up just a few seconds before he cries, I wake up at the slightest noice he makes. He has just put everythgin into a magnifing glass. There is a space (not in 3D) that connects us all. We share more than what he think we do.
My son is my sun, that came to shine some light, a divine mirror to reflect this amaizing bright to so many other stars in the dark.

Mirror
Sometimes to talk to you I have to talk to myself.
Energy travels in spiral form. Never the same two times in a row
One moment I was, the other I am not
A life time passes, and I am only two years old.
We cannot see our face and yet we know we are here, that we are real.
What if the whole world is a mirror?
Who am I, and who is that girl in the wall
I see and I touch, I’ll never know my face, only what the mirror tells me.
If it is all a mirror
Let it be a mirror made out of love.

The way it ought to be
Religion, Philosophies, Beliefs and even disbeliefs; these have always capture my attention, I was not sure why until probably now. I always noticed a trend, a set of values that each of them share. However with our current state of affairs, with so much happening in such a little time it is obvious that this is where we need to stop and think.
I read in a website from Jelila Starr, that sometimes by looking at the leaders of a country we can see our own state of mind as a human race. And even though I am not sure I agree with the whole Nibiruan Council I see that this statement might be true after all.
I remember a speech that Obama gave back in the beginning of 2010, after his first year in the Presidency he addressed congress and the people to stop working for a party's interest and to come together to find solutions that our nation and the world face today. He was able to pass the dreaded Health Care reform and I am sure he will be able to pass even more, and this is because I too believe that we are there.
We are at that moment in history where there is not Religion that should matter; there is not philosophy that has to be right. I think that what we can see happening in our world is that only through compromise and cooperation we are going to be able to solve most of the pressuring issues in today's world.
It is time that we stop looking not only at the color, or even gender, but at the race, ethnic background, we have to hold our hands and consciously solve our problems through that what is right. This is a moment where politics, money, government, history, religion, ideology, philosophy, reasoning, and any other kind of code do not fit. It is time to look inside, really deep and recognize our self in everybody else, recognize ourselves in the reflection of the water in a lake and realize that we too are one with everything that surrounds us.
I truly believe that by joining our consciousness outside of rites, and ideology, and culture, if we truly bear ourselves like what we are and join we could shine the light again in this earth and probably even through millions of light years more. Affecting not only our reality but probably leaping into a new one.
I do not think it is a coincidence that we are suddenly in a stage where human population has never been, and this is because I believe that only our joined strength and our voluntary cooperation will make the change. We are so many because we ought to....Think about it.....wouldn’t earth allow this reproduction at the cost of itself if it wasn’t for a good cause?
I invite you to shine the light...

Different People, different roles
Today I had the opportunity to imagine a world full of me's. Like most instances in movies and cartoons (specifically squidward in Spongebob lol) it is not as fun as you might think.
For so long you go through life looking for people that have more in common with you, because you will think that they will understand. But at the end of the day, I now know, that no matter who are you with, what do they like, what do they believe in. EVERYBODY HAS A ROLE, a purpose and if you respect that very fact, your interaction with the world just becomes so much more clear.
Learn all confrom with nothing, keep growing until the day of your last breath. And even that day spend it doing something extraordinary, a kind word will do the trick, the name of the person that you love the most will live forever in the air.
Today is a new day.... Find solutions and do not focus on the problem. Just fix the damn thing!

Welcome Back
I apologize, especially to myself. I was not able to follow up with th task and the schedule I established last year. But this is my next attempt to do it.
I will try to continue and eventually touch the subjects that I had in mind and that I listed in my first post. But for now I will just share some toughts and experiences.
A friend of mine contected me not long ago, she has a fabulous BLOG in wordpress called "purasletras" and she talked to me about the satisfaction that comes from knowing that her writings can reach the people she loves and have an effect on them.
More I could not agree with her. The first reason why in my earlier days I wanted to write was because I felt I could change the world. Now, thanks to the information technology I am able to express myself, and my toughts will remain here for years to come (Unless I cancel my account I guess)
I can only wonder about what the future holds, but for now I think I will start and keep writing. Because it makes me happy.
Hope you stick around.
