Accept what you cannot change, and change what you cannot accept

About Me


Compassion is the law of laws.
Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.
~Author Unknown
Whatever GAMES are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.

Fernando Botero
“The divide of race has been America's constant curse. Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world. These obsessions cripple both those who are hated and, of course, those who hate, robbing both of what they might become.”
Bill Clinton
“In the end antiblack, antifemale, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing - antihumanism.”
Shirley Chisholm
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” - Buddha
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln

He removes the greatest ornament of friendship, who takes away from it respect.
Cicero
The greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings, who by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
"Watch your thoughts, they become your words... Watch your words, they become your actions... Watch your actions, they become your habits... Watch your habits, they become your character... Watch your character, it becomes your destiny!"
Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.
Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.

Peace is the marriage of the people and the planet, with all attendant vows
La tierra tiene suficiente para la necesidad de cada hombre, pero no para la avaricia de cada hombre.
If you begin the day with love in your heart, peace in your nerves, and truth in your mind, you not only benefit by their presence but also bring them to others, to your family and friends, and to all those whose destiny draws across your path that day.
The Body is the temple of life.
Energy is the force of life.
Spirit is the governor of life.
If one of them goes off balance,
All three are damaged.
When the spirit takes command,
The body naturally follows it,
And this arrangement benefits all Three Treasures.
When the body leads the way,
The spirit goes along,
And this harms all Three Treasures.
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Perceive those thinhs which cannot be seen.
It is folly to pretend that one ever wholly recovers from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. There are faces I can never look upon without emotion, there are names I can never hear spoken without almost starting.

We have a stake in one another, and what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and that if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, the we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaninful done.
Barack Obama

Shortly after taking office, President Bush wrote "not on my watch" in the margin of a report he was reading about the 1994 Rwandan genocide. However, a year after declaring the violence in Darfur genocide, the President has still not taken any actions neccessary to end the violence. President Bush must hear from Americans who care about ending the crisis going on in Darfur. Contact the White House and let President Bush know that he must act now Call: 202-456-1111

I'm a regular human being, with doubts and solutions, defects and virtues with love and sadness. I like to share and have fun. I want to help in any way to make our world a better place for us and future generations. I love animals, traveling, reading and enjoyng the outdoors and have fun!! I'm here in my space because I want to have a lot of friends not like some people said they have in off!!!!! How can you tell that there is so many souls in this world, so much knowledge and to many things to experience. I have no time for hypocrites, fanatics, etc. Just real people I have different interest, I'm in a constant spiritual quest and hope to make a difference in this world.
I believe in human rights, pro-choice and to many other issues, racial profiling is wrong, I'm not gay but i support gay marriage (LOVE IS LOVE). I love diversity and traveling (love to go back and live in Vienna and spend summer time at Amsterdam). If i don't make to much sense to you is because I'm Mexican and I'm also an Alien which i don't particularly like.
But in reality I'm just one more element of this our Human Race. Some times very complex......VERY.............I'm a woman and a little bit Crazy!!! But is more fun like this I guess??I.........I...........like to know more about other cultures and countries like Africa, Thailand, India and more. But tell me something about YOU!
Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

~The ONE Within You~
Thank You for your Gift of Friendship
May you always find PEACE along
Your PATH, and Grace inside
Your Being...
Together we seek
The other
Only to find
The ONE.
Wars begin in the minds of man, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Oscar Wilde~



And this is our HOME.

To see a world in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.

William Blake

"There is no religion higher than the truth".

That which is part of our souls is eternal. . . Those lives are countless, but the soul or spirit that animates us throughout these myriads of existences is the same; and though "the book and volume" of the physical brain may forget events within the scope of one terrestrial life, the bulk of collective recollections can never desert the divine soul within us. Its whispers may be too soft, the sound of its words too far off the plane perceived by our physical senses; yet the shadow of events that were, just as much as the shadow of the events that are to come, is within its perceptive powers, and is ever present before its mind's eye.

Secret Doctrine

God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.

Kahlil Gibran

"Justice and Power must be brought together,
so that whatever is just may be powerful,
And whaterver is powerful may be



"No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."

Article 4,
Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Intensity
Zen says: Think of all the great words and great teachings as your deadly enemy. Avoid them, because you have to find your own source. You have not to be a follower, an imitator. You have to be an original individual; you have to find your innermost core on your own, with no guide, no guiding scriptures. It is a dark night, but with the intense fire of inquiry you are bound to come to the sunrise. Everybody who has burned with intense inquiry has found the sunrise. Others only believe. Those who believe are not religious, they are simply avoiding the great adventure of religion by believing.

"Cada mujer se puede convertir en la flecha hacia la divinidad; su gracia, su belleza, su amor, su devocion, te pueden mostrar el camino hacia los mas altos reinos de tu ser, hacia los mas grandes espacios de la consciencia."


Let us not be blinded by our nationalities , our races, our religion , our languages and forget about the dream that we all have. That dream ... is world peace. And maybe one day that dream will become reality, if we believe.

"There is a force in the universe, which if we permit it, will flow through us and provide miraculous results."
~Gandhi

Where is Darfur?


Darfur is a region in western Sudan, an eastern African country half the size of the United States

Why are people being killed?
Ethnic African rebel groups in Darfur launched a war for independence, sighting a lack of life saving government funds in the region. President Omar Al-Bashir responded with a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing against civilians. He has used proxy militia groups to torch whole cities, rape and kill thousands of women and children. The violence continues today.

This girl above is struggling to provide for her child inside a concentration camp in Darfur. With temperatures of over 100 F and scarce access to water their plastic bottle could easily mean the difference between life and death. Each day she tries to comfort her child without the promise of medical care or even adequate food or water. Even now, she lives under the constant threat of being raped or sold into slavery. She is fighting to survive in unbearably harsh conditions. Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir and his proxy militias do not intend to let her succeed.

&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;


&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;
Omar Al-Bashir has used the Janjaweed militia to murder thousands of men, women, and children while enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Parade magazine's David Wallechinsky ranked al-Bashir at the very top of his list of the worlds ten worst dictators. Most recently he has severely restricted press access to Darfur, an ominous sign of what's to come.

When Omar Al-Bashir rose to power in 1989 he dissolved parliament and banned political parties. Ignoring countless U.N. resolutions to disarm the Janajaweed militia and end the violence in Darfur, Bashir has made a mockery of international law and the ideals on which the United Nations was founded. He seems to believe the international community will allow him to get a way with the wholesale murder of entire ethnic groups, and so far he has been right.


Children in Auschwitz concentration Camp, January 1945
After the Holocaust the world said it would "never again" allow the wholesale slaughter of ethnic groups by any government, even if it meant standing up to a major world power such as Nazi Germany.
Omar Al-Bashir is making a mockery of this pledge by committing genocide on a budget less than that of most U.S. states.
If the world is unwilling to intervene in a genocide committed by a relatively minor world player, how can we possibly hope to stand up to the next Nazi Germany?

Rape is used systematically in Darfur, in order to destroy group unity. Rape turns women into social outcasts, shames and demoralizes their husbands. It is also used as an incentive for soldiers, along the with the plunder from the cities they sack.

Music:



Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.

You can understand the facts of life. But facts of love are much different. To love you love someone or someone loves you.. But when you both love each other you're in love with one another. First become friends and let it go. Then get serious and get together. Just make yourself known as a person not as someone you don't want to be known as...

Because I DO!!!!!!!!!

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.

Jim Morrison

In your light
I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight
becomes this art.

Rumi

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.

Movies:


"Love is the answer. But while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions!
-Woody Allen"
Totality
Every moment there is a possibility to be total. Whatsoever you are doing, be absorbed in it so utterly that the mind thinks nothing, is just there, is just a presence. And more and more totality will be coming. And the taste of totality will make you more and more capable of being total. And try to see when you are not total. Those are the moments which have to be dropped slowly, slowly. When you are not total, whenever you are in the head--thinking, brooding, calculating, cunning, clever--you are not total. Slowly, slowly slip out of those moments. It is just an old habit. Habits die hard. But they die certainly--if one persists, they die.

"You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution. Change is inevitable, personal growth is always a personal decision."
Bob Proctor

I'm lost =(.............in translation

Television:



When desire is for the purely abstract - when it has lost all traces or tinge of "self" - then it has become pure.

Madame Blavatsky

There is no miracle. Everything that happens is the result of law -- eternal, immutable, ever active.

Madame Blavatsky

Books:



"And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

Heroes:



Him!

My friends!

You lift my spirits and give me hope.
