Just try it, its a good business
"The more you think about your own self, the more trouble small problems can create in your mind. Then that small obstacles become unbearable. On the other hand, if you concern yourself mainly with others, the broader your thinking becomes, and life’s inevitable difficulties disturb you less" ~Dalai Lama.
My personal suggest: Just try it, its a good business: You cannot lose anything but you can earn a lot.

Sobre el pasotismo
"Mas que los actos de los malos, me horroriza la indiferencia de los buenos" Mohandas Gandhi
No intentes cambiar el mundo, solo aporta tu grano
Cada vez que oigo eso de "es que hay tanto por hacer que es imposible.. no sirve de nada!" yo pienso en las palabras de aquella sabia:
"Because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do" Helen Keller

El secreto del amor
Hoy he recibido esta reflexión de mi amigo y maestro Santiago Rupérez desde el otro lado del globo. Como me ha gustado quiero compartirla:
El secreto del amor radica en el conocimiento propio.
Sin un adecuado conocimiento de uno mismo, nunca lograremos establecer las bases de un verdadero amor.
Jesús sabía quien era y por eso pudo amarnos de la forma que lo hizo.
Jesús sabía quien era y por eso pudo ponerse como ejemplo en el amor: “amaos como Yo os he amado”.
Ese Yo que nos ama ha entendido que no es otro sino el Hijo del Padre.
Ese Yo que nos ama es consciente que posee la misma naturaleza del Padre.
Ese Yo que nos ama ha realizado que es Uno con el Padre y con nosotros.
Ese Yo que nos ama sabe perfectamente que no hay dualidad alguna entre el sujeto y el objeto del amor, entre el amante y el amado.
¿Hemos empezado a amar en nuestras alocadas vidas?
¿Hemos empezado a conocernos a nosotros mismos?
Si ignoro quien soy, ¿cómo voy a ser capaz de conocer al otro?
Si ignoro quien soy, ¿cómo voy a ser capaz de aceptarme a mi mismo?
Si no me perdono ni me acepto a mí mismo, ¿cómo voy a ser capar de perdonar y aceptar al otro?
Si no he descubierto aún mi naturaleza auténtica, ¿cómo voy a ser capaz de realizar las obras del amor?
Si no he entendido mi vida propia, ¿cómo voy a ser capaz de entender y respetar la vida de los demás?
Si aún no he aceptado la no-dualidad, ¿por qué tengo que extrañarme de que viva aislado y separado en la fría soledad del único infierno que en realidad existe?: la separación de la unidad de nuestra Vida.
La gracia del conocimiento propio nos llevará a gozar de la vida maravillosa del amor en el UNO.

Open Letter to a Terrorist
Can you remember being a child of innocence?
Do you recall having dreams for yourself?
Can you remember loving your parents, your siblings, your grandparents, your friends......
Yourself?
Do you recall the first time you felt your God within you?
Can you still truly feel Him?
He is not within you if all you can feel is anger and hate.
What is within you is anger and hate, and those alone.
How is it that you can believe now that senseless violence and killing will guide and deliver you to a place of peace... in any realm?
If this earthly world is obliterated, along with you and all the innocents who did not have a chance to live their lives toward grace, how will that grant you the gifts you seem to fully expect?Your True God does not ask this of you.
If you reach deep within and listen closely, you will find what He has always asked of you...
Only you truly know what that is, but we all know what that is not, if not in our present minds, at least, deep inside the hearts of our souls.
Hate is what it is not.Hate may fill you with false strength and courage, but it will never, ever lead you on a path to peace.
Murder and suicide, no matter what ideology in which you may wrap them, are the work of evil, and no more.
As mere children, we know these things to be true and are profoundly affected by events in our lives which mirror these truths.
Do you not ever feel true and wondrous joy in anything but killing or dying?
Do you not ever feel even a hint of compassion for your fellow men and women on this great Earth?
Does nothing penetrate the armour of loathing and lust for death you wear heavily upon your human form?
Nothing?
Have you felt love recently?
True, real, soulful love - the kind that touches gently the softest parts of your heart and makes you want to live just to love?
Does love even exist within the days of your world?
Hateful love, or the love of hating, does not count.
It is empty and soulless, bringing only sadness and fear, and as always follows closely behind, more hate.
Hate empties us.
It does not fill us.
Only love fills us.
Only love.
I want to understand what you are fighting for.
If you and all of your fellow fighters will die in this war and go on to a nirvana I do not understand, then who will actually be left behind to enjoy the spoils?
Your family and former friends?
The very same people who will be mourning you and losing their joy in life because they lost you and now have to deal with the things you have done to them and to the rest of the world?
Or will you take them, and all of us, with you?
Life is a gift not lightly given back.And joy is not to be found in taking it from others; only pain will be found in the end.
Please think hard about what you are doing: to the world, to your family, to those others who love you, and to yourself...
Will your God really love and welcome you for these deeds?
Will your loved ones be able to forgive you and themselves once these atrocities are all perpetrated?
When residing in your nirvana, will your soul be able to forgive you for what you have done?
Will your God?
How will peace ever be derived from violence???
Mere Earthly history alone has shown that this cannot be done.
Residing with evil in any realm brings only pain, and regret travels easily with us wherever we go.
If you have ever felt any guilt or pain or regret and wondered if evil has touched you with its cold, scaly hands, please step back for a moment within your soul and try to see the larger picture of your actions upon all of us who are merely trying to live our own lives just as you once were... before you were taught to hate so fully and completely...
The rest of the entire world is not evil.
We are all just people, like you, trying to figure out why we are here and what our purpose in life is to be...
We are trying every day not to lose our minds attempting to understand the complexities - the sadnesses, the losses, and the reasons for them, along with the joys and the simple pleasures afforded if we are paying attention - of this life we have been given.
We are simply human beings, being human beings, doing what human beings do: groping our way through days of challenges and joys, ebbs and flows, loves and losses, laughs and tears.
We just want to live.
Didn’t you, once?
Sincerely,
-the rest of the world

The True Peace
"The True Peace:
The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship,
their oneness, with the universe and all its powers,
is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship,
their oneness, with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center
of the Universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit),
and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.
This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.
The second peace is that which is made between two individuals,
and the third is that which is made between two nations.
But above all you should understand that there can never
be peace between nations until there is known that true peace,
which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men"
Black Elk, Oglala Sioux & Spiritual Leader (1863-1950)

If you really want to reach peace start with children my friend!
I really believe we can change this world, move the minds. And if we all want the samewe have to start with children. Please, lests go to give them education, sample of life, love and freedom. Then peace will come to world naturally.
In Mohanda´s words:
"If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they grow up in their nautral innocence, we won´t have to struggle; we son´t have to pass fruitless idel resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for wich consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering"
Great. Magic. So go onto action my friends!!!! All the Love, Light & Hope I send you from the bottom of my heart ***

Recensión de libro: "El Genoma Humano"
GENOMA HUMANO: ÉTICA, RELIGIÓN Y CIENCIA
Representantes de 87 países acudieron en la Ciudad del Vaticano a la XX Conferencia Internacional del Consejo Pontificio para la Salud, dedicada al íntegramente al conocimiento de las perspectivas éticas, científicas y sociales de la investigación genética, y su impacto sobre la integridad y la dignidad de la persona, como anunció Benedicto XVI en su discurso inaugural. Treinta y ocho expertos (científicos, juristas y especialistas en bioética) destacaron los retos e implicaciones de la genética no sólo desde la perspectiva cristiana, sino también hebrea, islámica, hindú, e incluso budista, extendiéndose a la postmodernidad y a nuevas culturas. Sus trabajos, presentados en aquella reunión internacional en noviembre del 2005, se publican ahora en este tratado de bioética y genética.
Los españoles Xavier Pomés (director de planificación, asistencia y cooperación internacional de Hermanos de San Juan de Dios), y Francisco de Llanos (profesor de Ética y Legislación Sanitaria de la Universidad de Sevilla), publican en esta obra su análisis de la influencia económica de la genética, y la formación en biogenética del agente pastoral, respectivamente. El profesor Ten Have, director de la División de Ética de la Ciencia y la Tecnología de la Unesco, explica la evolución de los trabajos para la Declaración Universal sobre el Genoma y los Derechos Humanos. Profesores de la Universidad de Nevada, del Baylor College of Medicine, en Houston (Texas); de la Universidad de Medicina de Boston; de la Facultad de Medicina A. Gemelli de Roma, de la Universidad de Roma Tor Vergata, y de la Universidad de Florencia, entre otros, recogen en sus estudios aspectos éticos y científicos de la investigación genética. Javier Lozano Barragán, presidente del Pontificio Consejo para la Pastoral de la Salud introduce la obra con reflexiones teológicas y filosóficas de la biogenética. En la presentación, Benedicto XVI expresa que “se abren espacios posibles, y tal vez nuevos, para un diálogo fecundo con la sociedad, y no sólo con los fieles, especialmente sobre temas importantes como los que atañen a la vida”.
