Our hearts are the eyes that God has given us to see beyond physical reality. Some peoples' hearts are not yet prepared to understand true love; others are more than prepared. The latter don't just understand true love, but practice it every day; in every opportunity. I ask you guys, what is love to you? Do you listen to your heart? Can you see with your heart and not with your mind? What do you do to keep harmony in your everyday relationships? Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
Some people need hope, but yet others can just find it even in the most unimaginable places. So I have a theory;a very complex one. Lets see if I can explain it thouroughly. First of all, love is not what you see when you come across a good looking person or when someone makes you feel important or when you have just accomodated your life to someone; no, that is not love (wake up call). I am going to talk to you about another type of love; the one that I consider to be the real one. Ok, now just read and then (until the end) ask questions, if any. Ironically, lets start with a question: What can you give to others? Ok, more clearly, do you have anything that would make another person happy? Yes or no? It is a simple question. Do you have something that would help in another person's life? If yes, then you have to give it away; you have to give what you have to a person that needs it. That is true love; and guess what? This is the really interesting part: When you give all you can, in an unselfish mannner, your life is then filled with love; the real love, the type of love that will make you feel happy and strong and powerful. And then, when you keep doing this, I can guarantee you that all the people that fulfill your life will just come closer and closer and CLOSER to you. AND THEN, if you think you need a partner (boyfriend or girlfriend), that person will just manifest in your life (Don't let him or her go); it is like magic. You must create this magic around you and start living a happy and meaninful life. So basically, it is your responsability to attract real love to your life. Do you know if you really want it? Ponder that.
Now, for the broken hearts: Have you ever given everything you can to another person and then still felt that you are not complete and happy? Do you think my theory is not true because you have tried it and it didn't work out? Well, you must add something to my theory: If you are not receiving what you need, even when you are giving away your best, then true love is not able to manifest in that relationship; probably because the other person is not ready. And if you get mad because of this and you keep demanding, then YOU are the one who is not prepared for true love (romantic wise). That is the wake up call for this post. Don't feel sad or angry; it is not going to help you. You have to be the wise person who can understand that love and happiness are not an automatic response but a simple choice. If you had a person by your side and he/she didn't make you feel fulfilled, then it was just because he/she had nothing else left in him/her self to give you; probably he/she lost hope. And where were you when your partner needed you? Do you think you can still give something away to help your relationship? I bet you can. If you are reading this post, I bet you can still give something to restore that relationship into a better one. The question is, do you what to do it? Do you still feel that real love? If you do, then go for it; if you don't, then step aside and go look for some peace. If you have nothing else to give to others then move aside and go fill up yourself so you can have something to give away. Don't be selfish; just give it away and you will find it (love). If someone is not prepared to be happy with you, just let go. They will come back when they are ready (maybe you will still be there or maybe you would have already found happiness and love).
Keep pondering....

Skies in Tegucigalpa - Magnificent view.
That image, which I believe speaks for itself, was taken today from the skies of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, at around 6:30 p.m. It happened after a day filled with emotional tension due to the troubles that we are experiencing in our Honduran society. My brother told me that he knew someone who said that I was a New Age person. I can only say that what moves me to write about all of this has nothing to do with labels or religions. When ever something new is introduced to our lifes we are inclined to label it so we can identify it. Sometimes people need labels or examples to help them understand a new idea. I can only hope that the readers are able to see beyond their first impressions when they read this blog.
For example, the above picture cannot be labeled into some religious category. It is just what it is. That blue stripe crossed the sky of Tegucigalpa; from that cloud you see to the other end, where you could see a full moon. It was a straight line from the moon to the sun (I'm not sure if that's the sun behind the cloud). It might just be a light effect; you are free to make what you want from it. But indeed it was a marvelous sight. It just happened. It happened today in my country, and for ME it is a sign of hope, of love and of peace. Where does it come from? I do not know; I am not sure. But I felt peace and tranquility when I saw it. Try to give it an explanation and I assure you, your heart will reveal many ideas; most of them amazingly marvelous. And if on top of all your intuition you also add up a little investigation, you can discover a world full of magic, which would be totally different from the one you have been living in.
For example, on one of these pictures that were taken by my little sister who was standing right by my side, there appears what could be a face. Some friends said it was the face of Jesus. Your mind sometimes sees what your heart can make of it. And that face can be seen by those who still have hope and love in their hearts.
This is mystical and magical world we live in. Then again, we must allow that into our lifes.
Peace, tranquility and a genuine feeling of love is what I felt when I saw that image with my very own eyes. And I can assure that my family, who were all with me in that terrace, also felt the same way. I have been the only one in my family to show interest in the topics that I've been writing about in this blog. My family has never been able to understand that; but today they saw with their very own eyes.
God bless those who need not to see with their eyes to believe.
God bless you all, my brothers and sisters.

Michael Jackson - Transparence of a child's soul
Even though Michael Jackson has left us, I have been able to discover more of him during these last days following his departure - his personality, his kindness, his shyness, his mission, his creativity, his will, and sides of him I didn't know before. I had never paid attention to his voice when he was not singing; but since he left us this past Thursday, 25th of June 2009, I have been watching many interviews and one documentary. I discovered he always talked gently and in a very kind way. He was a positive soul; INVINCIBLE, as one of his albums was named. I have been able to know a little bit of who this ICON was. I investigated and this guided me to discover the eternal child that was able to live all the way through Michael Jackson's life. Many of us forget the little things that made us happy when we were kids, and we also forget the true riches that those tiny things represent; fortunately, Michael was not like the many adults who forget who they were when they were small children.
Only the kindness, shyness, humbleness and the good heart of a kid, combined with great talent, give chance for the creation of impressive pieces of art, recognized by the world who is left inspired and astounded. Only such a thing can erase all differences in this world. That was Michael. The kid who was never afraid to dream; but mostly, the kid who never forgot how to dream; the one who believed that everything was possible. That light is always present in the eyes of children when they have just been born in this world.
Being able to keep all those qualities through his entire life (50 years) is what made the world admire and respect him. His Creativity has proven to be inspiring, even after his death. Michael Jackson preached for peace, love, unity and brotherhood among all human beings. Polite, gentle, courageous and with a smile on his face - that's how Michael Jackson can be described.
I have come to realize, isn't that how every kid reacts to the world? How marvelous would it be if we could all see the world through the eyes of children.
"In my heart, I know you are all my brothers." MJ
Take care earthlings.

Michael Jackson
Fifty years ago, the World said to a newly born child: "Hello and welcome to planet Earth". Then, some moments after, the world asked:"What are you going to show us?" The newly born could not speak, thus he had just been born. But even though he could not reply in that precise moment, the world would have her answer just a few years after...
From a band called The Jackson Five, that little kid emmerged and became a super star, answering the World's question in a very strong and clear manner. More than strong, his way of dancing was genius, his way is singing was inspiring, his lyrics gave hope and his peformance just made him a king in the world of music. Then the World was suprised and happy, for she had been blessed with a CREATIVE artist that would live in the hearts of many. Even more surprised was the World when she was able to see the legacy of this soul - the moon walk, the thriller, the desire to heal the world, a place called Never Land, the story of Billie Jean, the concept that We Are the World, the lack of matter in being Black or White, and many more... he couldn't stop; not until he could get enough.
As a every soul in this World, he had his flaws - Who doesn't? We must not judge, for we could then be also labeled with our worst doings someday. This kid who then became an ICON, will be remembered, hopefully, for his legacy. This ICON was called Michael Jackson. Rest in peace Michael.
In this times, I think it good to recall one of the songs that he use to sing:
"There comes a time when he head a certain call, when the world must come together as one." I believe now is that time. This is your legacy Michael, see you soon.

More feeling good reading: Visualization
Today we are going to talk about visualization. Check this video first.
The Secret Riches Visualization Tool
Life is phenomenal. Well it should be if you've visualized it like that. On the other hand, if you've visualized the completely opposite thing, then that must be your reality. Every person in this planet is living the life that they've imagined, whether this has been done consciously or unconsciously. Yes, our reality begins to happen in our minds. Now, once you understand that idea, you start realizing how powerful our minds can be and how important our beliefs and thoughts are. You see, what you do to your mind is more important than what you do to your body. Visualization is the tool we've been given to sketch our life the way we want it to be. And it is really simple. So in other words, if you have good, positive and empowering thoughts, then you will have that same kind of life. Be a positive happy person and imagine the life of your dreams and you will get it. This concept of visualization has to do also with taking action when the opportunities show up in your life. But that is the idea. You start CREATING your life with your thoughts and then you must act when opportunities present themselves. All this has probably been kept as a secret, which is why I think that the name of that famous documentary was very well put (The Secret). You see, our societies have conditioned everyone to believe that imagination should be underestimated and taken as a kid's way of thinking. That is sad. Imagination is what Einstein defined as "the preview of life's coming attractions". That was a marvelous way of putting it.
So, we should get started by imagining the life of our dreams. And it doesn't matter if you want money or a successful career, or if you want to find that love of your life, or maybe you just want to travel to a specific place. If you can visualize yourself having it and enjoying it, then you will have it. Ask yourself, what do you want from life in this particular time? Is it a Ferrari? Is it a Range Rover? Do I want to be a great actor and singer? Do I want to have a house of my own in Barcelona or in Miami? Do I want to have more income? Ask yourself those questions and answer them. Then start visualizing your answer and your imagination will eventually manifest as a reality. It happens all the time. The only exercise you have to do is to VISUALIZE.
This "law" applies to everyone; good, bad, rich, poor, tall, short, thin, fat, gay, straight, American (the whole continent), Asian, African, European, smart, not so smart, happy people, sad people, etc. It happens to everyone. Whether what you are thinking is good or bad, you are going to get exactly what you have been resonating with. That's why you should focus on good, positive and exciting ideas, so that your life turns out to be exactly that way. PONDER THAT FOR A WHILE.
Believe you can and you will achieve.
There's another thing that works hand to hand with visualization and positive thinking; Once you've asked and believed, you should expect in order to recieve. But you must be pacient and in control all the time. Erase anxiety. Now you'll see a video that will help you understand what I'm talking about.

The new trailer of 2012
Even though I've criticized the marketing strategy that the film makers of the movie 2012 have used, I have to say that they are really talented in what they do. This movie is coming to a theater near you on November 13, 2009 (Worldwide Release Date). I just saw the new trailer, which you can see at http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/ , and I must accept that this movie looks incredibly interesting. At least I think the movie is going to be able to create a consciousness on people, so that everyone starts to investigate about the year 2012 and the long count Mayan calendar.
Now, this is a serious matter: Not everything that we are going to see in the movie must be taken as what is truly going to happen. For starters, the trailer already has an error when it's implying that "mankind's earliest civilization" was the Mayan. They were not the first civilization of this world. Scientific proven facts state that the first civilization that left written records in this planet (records that we have found) were the Sumerians. The Sumerians have been almost as controversial as the Mayan civilization, but then again, isn't every archaeological discovery fascinating and filled with mystery? At least I think so. Well, not everything you see in the movie must be taken as what's really going to happen in the year 2012. Still, I have to give some credit to this movie, which I'm eager to watch. In the end of this trailer, as well as in the end of the first one, they give the audience a message: "Find out the truth. Search 2012";in the first one they said: "Google search: 2012". Again, this could be a viral strategy so that everyone would go and search 2012 in Google, which would redirect everyone to the movie's official website.
Anyway, this is an invitation for everyone to start discovering what just a few already know about what could happen to this planet in the near future. This message, added to the sort of viral publicity that they've used, makes me think that this could be a subtle way of letting the world know that something big is about to happen. They invite us to investigate. Well, I've done my investigation and believe me, even when I know that the Mayans said that this was an era of transformation and spiritual growth, I can't help the fact that I get scared sometimes; for I have seen too many coincidences where destruction is binded to this date.
Maybe the movie is a subtle wake up call. How else would you alert a huge population of an imminent hazard without creating mass panic? Smart, isn't it? Well, this is just a speculation, but we'll see.
Again, I just hope that together, we humans as a species, are going to be able to overcome every obstacle that comes our way in the future; even if nothing happens in 2012 we must come together as one, as one family in LOVE.
May the power of that infinite consciousness of LOVE be with you.
All the time,
Raúl
