Jazz music and dance live in mulit-dimensions, they are always and forever in my heart.
I would like to think that I see the big picture; although it can be difficult at times. I aspire to be a true healer someday. I believe the spirit of the past lives in us all. I'm terrified of ghosts, I think if I ever saw one, I would have a heart attack. I have nightmares about aliens taking over the world. Hopefully these fears will dissipate as I understand the spiritual world better. I believe in a great Utopia, despite the ills of mankind. It pains me to see Lebanon suffer. Family is first; viva Panama, Mexico, and Lebanon. My great wish is to make other people happy, oh yes & get rid of any bad karma before I leave this world.
"The Cosmos may be densly populated with intelligent beings. But the Darwinian lesson is clear: There will be no humans elsewhere. Only here. Only on this small planet. We are a rare as well as an endangered species. Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another."-Carl Sagan 'Cosmos'
"as much careful attention must be paid to the spiritual or psychic level as to the social, physiological, or psychological because in them one is especially close to the realm of Great Mysterious. A medicine woman’s failure to remain in a balanced, responsive, aware condition can spell disaster not only to herself but to many members of her community, for the power of woman is great, and the more discipline and devotion she renders, the greater her power grows.But power is not necessarily pleasurable to her; quite the contrary, in most cases. Each increment of power one gains along the path of power requires sacrifice and exacts its toll of suffering and pain. If the practitioner is unable or unwilling to make a conscious sacrifice of ego, time, personal inclination, or the fancies dearest to her heart, the powers she seeks will turn on her and on her family and community….Women who walk the path of the gatherer and the path of the ritualist cannot afford to be passive; they must of necessity be inwardly secure, deeply caring of planetary spiritual life at all levels,….At last, having reached the fullness of her age, the shaman will enter her period of mastery, ….In terms of the medicine dance of the anishinabeg, she is manido, more of the realm of mystery than of mortal flesh. She is waken, filled with and able to manipulate orenda, iyani, the spirit-force of the cosmos, the true-that is, the sacred-universe”(Paula Gunn Allen, Re-emerging Native Women of the Americas, 571-572).
