For these transitory hard days I wish to share with you the magnificent spiritual experience had by a dozen committed people. At that time our country was experiencing very bad moments, so we decided to do something about it. We named our Sunday meditation “Spiritual actions” Sometimes there exists the same sincere burning desire in people gathered who share the same purpose. We don’t know if the planets and stars had a special position. What everybody understood was there was a really emergency which would prevent greater damaged if not being solved. On that occasion after our deep prayers and meditation brought us immediate results because nine out of ten had had similar spiritual experiences. Here is my enlightened experience: Above our heads in the temple there were a dozen of white doves flying around us, their whiteness was very intense, but this peculiar whiteness didn’t hurt our eyes, on the contrary it gave them more depth. Their feathers had an indescribable glow, a glow belonging to a very harmonious celestial place. These beautiful doves kept flying high above us going around and around our heads, when suddenly they started performing a spiritual super harmonious ballet. Nobody could avoid being fascinated by this great blessing. The doves as they were performing their dance had descended, so now they were nearer, that’s when everybody saw that each dove had a dark red rose in its peak. They flew around us three more times and then unexpectedly they drop their roses toward us so that we could catch them. A brief moment before reaching our hands a net appeared to stop their gravitational falling speed. Read more

Farewell of Saints Peter and Paul, showing the Apostles giving each other the holy kiss before their martyrdom. (Alonzo Rodriguez, 16th century, Museo Regionale di Messina). In the midst of the 20 nations who came to meet in US for the session to solve the current economic problem, I saw George Bush kissing the Saudi prince on the cheek on both sides, which is the popular custom in the middle east between men. Now as a host and a friend of the Saudi prince it was probably a very warm gesture... but it was nevertheless, a little strange. Specially given that Bush is also the "leader" of the right wing of US conservative for over 8 years.. and many among them would consider this greeting as "gay-ish". But there was a time when this kind of greeting was called the "Holy Kiss"! The holy kiss is a traditional Christian greeting. The term comes from the New Testament, where it appears five times. It is mentioned in: * Romans 16.16a - "Greet one another with a holy kiss" * I Corinthians 16.20b - "Greet one another with a holy kiss" * II Corinthians 13.12a - "Greet one another with a holy kiss" * I Thessalonians 5.26 - "Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss" * I Peter 5.14a - "Greet one another with a kiss of love" Superficially, there was nothing new in the practice of Christians greeting one another with a kiss: cheek kissing was the normal way that men in the ancient western Mediterranean would greet one another. Read more

Let’s stop looking for a deeply buried treasure elsewhere. Because inside the chest of every human being lies a full chest of precious stones, gold and silver coins. This magnificent treasure has three different depths, so please let’s name them x, y and z for a much better visualization. It would be nice to start with the deepest one the “z” treasure. This treasure belongs to people who have never given any serious thought to spiritual matters; here I wish to make clear that I’m not referring to any kind of known religion institutions. It is a deep root, in other words is a strong inner conviction. Many of these people have a great cultural background, but their spiritual idiosyncrasy is still lacking and no culture will supply it for more that they try. Next we have the “y” treasure; that is buried at a middle depth. That is a common factor for human beings that due to being exposed to hard experiences they began to realize that besides this materialized world there is something greater and more rewarding, so their efforts to reach this treasure most be doubled. Read more

We can’t deny the violence that our World is experiencing. It is fact. This gives us the great opportunity to do something about it by spreading from our brave hearts tons of Divine Love everywhere we go. I love to write what I’m 100% sure about, especially from first hand experiences. When I was nineteen years old I faced death on three occasions on the same week. Thanks to Divine intervention I wasn’t harmed at all, but these bitter experiences made me realized the importance to know how to defend myself in the future. During my teen years I got very interested in the use of mental power. I’m talking about the late fifties. There were a lot of books dealing with this trend. This was when I performed some Hata Yoga exercises and many Raja Yoga experiments. I indeed developed some slight telekinetic manifestations which made me realize that indeed our minds could affect matter. I’m telling you this because that’s the main reason I made a lot of progress in my personal and private martial arts daily training. It took me just a year to be proficient in the art of self-defense. At that time I was living in a small border town; Matamoros across from Brownsville Texas. This city had been famous for its great rate of violence. Violence due to the fact that there were many people did their living by smuggling. To explain to you that from ten classmates only four saw their early twenties. Three died on automobile crashes due to speed racings and another three passes away because of duels, yes, you got it right it was like in the old west, family members were on a constant war with other families. It was when our family moved to Monterrrey city in the early sixties what a big difference! Read more

Enjoying living a balanced life is in itself a very rewarding experience. Please allow me to use a martial arts example. It doesn’t matter which martial is practiced. All of them put emphasis on at all times keep balanced. By doing this both your defense and offensive movements will become reliable reflexes when facing a dangerous situation, so you don’t have to use a strike that kills or maims. Only to inflict enough pain so the attacker gets discouraged and quits his aggressiveness. What does this have to do with dealing with our current economic situation? It has to do a lot. If we make the habit of blessing our paycheck it will indeed be stretched. It is amazing how it will be properly channeled, not a penny will be wasted. Let’s consider the following. Our work is a very sacred aspect of our life, so the income we receive from our efforts is a blessing. Sometimes we aren’t paid what we really deserve. It is due mainly because the person who pays us isn’t balanced. On those cases there is a balanced reward coming from the cosmic realm. In our ignorance we sabotage the abundance approaching us from there. Stop for a few moments and start seriously thinking about how you have received these blessings not in cash, but on opportunities to be taken where you and your family will be the beneficiaries. Read more

Only four nations have landed on the moon in the recorded human history - US, Russia, China and India. As the probe from Chandrayaan-I touched the surface of the Moon, India touched the lunar surface. The probe, painted with the Indian flag, touched down at 2034 (1504 GMT), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said. The dropping of this probe (Moon Impact Probe - MIP) about 30 kg, brings the first phase of this mission to a triumphant end. Now, MIP will measure the composition of the Moon's ultra-tenuous atmosphere, or exosphere.. The Chairman of the Indian space program was a bit modest when he said that the mission was 95% successful so far and said that the next lunar mission will probably be launched by 2012. Bhuvan - competitor to Google Earth ISRO is also planning to start a service that competes with Google Earth and using its satellite network to create a high resolution web-based mapping system. The service, will initially cover only India, will be offered at no cost to web users. Read more

This time, please read this article with a wide smile drawn on your face. I have powerful reasons to ask for this small favor. Le’s start then by imagining that there is a Cosmic dictionary where are included all the words uttered by man since the beginning of times. Every language and dialect has been accurately recorded here. It is located in a special section and above this immense dictionary is an archetype containing every word being translated into God’s language. Men’s dictionary contains many words wrongly created, so our task would be to substitute them by other words from God’s Archetype Divine words. How can we succeed in this endeavor? So it would be an excellent idea to first invoking all positive words via the heart of our soul personality into the immense Spiritual realm. Not forgetting that to look for this wonderful kingdom isn’t outwards. It is inwards. Let’s invoke the words DIVINE LOVE, DIVINE LOVE, DIVINE LOVE. MY HEART IS FILLED UP WITH DIVINE LOVE. Read more

When Hillary Clinton's name was being thrown in as the Vice President for Obama ticket - I strongly felt that she would be downright STUPID to become a VP!! If I know her mind even a wee bit as an observer I would think that she would like to be a Secretary of State. And I still think that Obama might actually have her as the Secretary of State. And now CNN is reporting that that is exactly what may happen. I also feel that since he has reached out to John McCain as well and he has often raised the name of Abraham Lincoln on the trail, my bet is that McCain may actually become the Secretary of Defense! So here is his top cabinet members: Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State John McCain - Secretary of Defense Let's see if my intuition serves it right!? Read more

"Oh!! I didn't see that puddle there!' said Geetika as she started brushing her pants wet with mud. Vikram, Geetika and Siddarth had been walking for half an hour to get to Aam ka Taal village in rural Rajasthan. They were social workers who had heard that the villagers had organized this small function where people came and prayed and sang together at the end of the day. They had some food and danced and had fun. The trio wanted to join in and see how it was. They could finally hear the drum beat - crude but in the still of the night it seemed eerie and romantic at the same time. Faint fog was building and it was chilly. Vikram was tired and as they walked up the little hillock, he slipped and hurt his leg. Blood oozed out a bit. "Man! Just wash it and cover it. You dont want it to get all the bacteria from this dirt" remarked Geetika. "I will be fine" Vikram said and got up. Read more
