People came from different places, with various and great pretensions. They all wanted to be the winner and to show off their power and wealth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were some who brought gold, others brought arms, science and technology. While others brought titles and properties. This event lasted for many months, and was so great, that it practically took all the attention of the universe. Everybody was commenting about the event and all the spectators were asking themselves: What will be the most valuable treasure? What will be the greatest power?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, like coming from nowhere, an unknown man appeared. He was rather humble and dressed in a very simple tunic. His face was calmed and his step was quiet. But this man brought nothing in his hands, he was not carrying any apparent treasure. Those, who were in charge of the event and the general public were watching him, with arrogance and scorn. Then, when they saw him so fragile and helpless, they decided to make fun of him. And they said: " The last man from earth, has come, let's see what important thing, he brings". While, mockingly they were commenting between themselves: "We can see that he has neither class nor foundation" And they put the man in front of everybody, they call the judges, mainly the wisest and oldest and they said: " Maybe, you have not realized that there are kingdoms, valuable jewels, gold objects, great instruments of science and of great value, shown in front of you. What can you bring? Are you crazy, perhaps? Or maybe, your ignorance, does not allow you to see? Speak, once and for all, so we can laugh and then, we can choose the most valuable treasure" And the man spoke in front of the multitude. There was total silence. And his words sounded like pearls falling, like angelical harps. And he said: " My brothers, judge for yourselves, because I have not come to show off or for personal glory, but to share something with you, that is really valuable" And then, he opened his tunic and he showed his naked chest. While saying simultaneously:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is a heart here that loves you. And by this Love, I wish you all, Peace. You can have great wealth , wonderful powers, but if there is no Peace, then, there is nothing. Peace be always with you. Because is the glory of Love and is the presence of God in your hearts"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, he stopped. And if there was total silence before, now it was even deeper. And then, the oldest and wisest of all the judges rose and said: " It is very certain, what you just said. How ignorant, we all have been! True wealth is not found in power, or in control, but just as you said: True wealth is Love, which is eternal, true, and which is the promised Peace. You, certainly are the most powerful and the richest man on earth" And soon, the man answered: " So be it. But the power is not mine, since everything comes from God. And my knowledge occurs because of my trust in Him" And the rich, and the powerful and all the persons, inclined in front of him. Then, arrogance left and Truth was revealed: "There is no wealth, if there is no Peace."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;-﻿Art and Teachings to Nourish Your Soul, based on the works of Oscar Basurto Carbonell &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://freeinspirationalthoughtsrequested.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://freeinspirationalthoughtsrequested.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://healing-art.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://healing-art.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://spiritual-healing-requests.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://spiritual-healing-requests.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://inspirational-art.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://inspirational-art.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-1789347462251985104?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/1789347462251985104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/12/most-valuable-treasure.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1789347462251985104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1789347462251985104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/12/most-valuable-treasure.html' title='The Most Valuable Treasure'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/TPvEx8ydslI/AAAAAAAACAo/3j0wvoM8jbU/s72-c/135-N-u-104x480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-3045795614875339544</id><published>2010-10-16T19:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-16T19:15:03.856-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Understanding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>Understanding Each Other.

If a very sick patient is not taken care of, will he recover ? Probably, his health will deteriorate. And if there is neither order nor discipline, will we reach the goals ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a person tells the other that he/she is in love and is loyal and makes a commitment, does he mean it, or is he saying only empty words ? When we look for the Divine Presence do we do it because we need to overcome something mainly material and we want things to change and then we forget ? This is very common. This is the cause of illnesses of many types and the spiritual is the most delicate. What happens is that is not taken care of, is not provided, is not sustained, because we are not taught. And the heart, the intention, the good debilitates, loses heart, agonizes and it is strange to say, that in order for Love not to die, he has to be alive. And, of course, Love always has to be alive and not in any kind of life, but in a quality life with surrender, dedication, filled with purpose and foundation. Throughout my work experience, I have found that what hurts the most is to consider that Love is automatic, self sustained and indifferent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or to think that everything has been done, has been given in an instant. And Love, does not need to be renewed ? And I ask myself does every human being need constant attention. Or should we eat once or should we breath once in our lifetime? Of course, the path is made by walking with constant steps. There is much sorrow and grief for the ones that do not try hard in their divine relationship with Love by surrendering and making it grow, every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can we leave a child without a hug ? How can we leave the relationship pass without a kiss ? &lt;br /&gt;How can we stop loving God for everything that He has given us? We have to be conscious that Love requires of gratitude, consideration, appreciation surrender. And what is Love and who is Love ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is everything : The air that we breathe, the earth that we step on, the food that we eat, all the beings around us, even the ones we will never meet. Because the journey of life must have as goal, the victory of realizing and the victory of living Divine Love, who is, God as primordial source and the universe as a vast field, where to plant tenderness, care, happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because in order to live, we have to be real, we have to love diligently, with respect, decision, responsibility and consciousnes &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;-Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Painting shown today is part of the Zen Art Collection at Zen Art Gallery&lt;br /&gt;-Zen Art Gallery welcomes you and invites you to see its fine Art Collection . &lt;br /&gt;The Gallery is convenienty located in the Bird Art District in Miami, Florida and is shown by appointment only.&lt;br /&gt;Request your appointment by email: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:zen.artgallery@yahoo.com"&gt;zen.artgallery@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or by phone 786 353 2951&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-7583540378626559701?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/7583540378626559701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/09/lets-not-allow-love-to-die.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7583540378626559701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7583540378626559701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/09/lets-not-allow-love-to-die.html' title='Let&apos;s not Allow Love to Die'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/TJqZJtTSdUI/AAAAAAAAB7k/_Gqig_BWVP4/s72-c/2-zenartsecuredownload.jpg-a.jpgodume.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-1290796810462323274</id><published>2010-09-17T18:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T18:38:27.044-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Language of Angels'/><title type='text'>The Language of the Angels.

Maybe they speak, not with words but through their twinkling. Could this be the language of the angels?” He thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, little by little he went to sleep, but still remembering the lights. In the depth of the night, he started dreaming and dreaming: He dreamt that he was traveling in a ship, which was navigating in a very vast, deep and dark sea. He wanted to reach those lights that in his dream, had transformed and were pearls. And he was saying: “They must be wonderful and very valuable jewels” And he kept traveling in his dream, but the lights seemed to move away and he was unable to reach them. His heart was filled with anguish and becoming smaller, while his longing would grow and grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, he thought: ” These pearls of light must be a treasure of the universe. They probably belong to the God of this unlimited abysm. How foolish of me to try to reach them! Maybe I should only be happy by watching them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he kept looking at them, while the ship kept traveling through the darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After many hours of looking and looking, he woke up. There were no stars and the dark mantle had disappeared. And he thought: ” Maybe all that was a dream, or only my imagination” The day passed by and the night arrived. The lights in the height turned on again. And he thought: “Maybe there are other worlds, same as this, but with lights as the ones we have here. But, who will know for sure?” And he tried to find out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he lived in a very small and poor town, where there were no many books to read. Only a few, covered with dust and mold. But he could not find anything about the subject. And the man saw his longing to reach the stars, as a challenge and he thought: “Well, maybe there are some lights that are not that far away. I will climb a very high mountain and I will reach the star and it will be mine, I will know its secret and I will have its treasure.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He started walking and climbing, trying to reach the top of the mountain and when the night arrived, he saw there, in front of him, the worthy and wonderful lights, which were filling the sky. Of course, the man by moving away from the lights of the city, was discovering even more stars now. But he reached a point, where he could not climb any more and he only could contemplate. With all the effort done, he felt tired and he lie down by the side of the path and he went to sleep. In his dream, he saw a long path, where other persons were walking by and reaching the stars. Some would come near them and touch them, while others would take the stars with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted to talk and to say many things, but was not able to talk. He was like paralyzed and dumbfounded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His shout was through the silence. And the silence was his company. Then, it happened what always happens when the effort and determination are great and true: The true light of the Spirit comes to man to give him guidance and consolation. Since he was very worked out and with a great feeling about the stars. He was ready to listen. He was in silence and in his silence, he heard: “Oh mortal of flesh and bones. You will never be able to reach the stars with your arms, no matter how much they expand through the night. But there is a secret that will take you near the stars and will make you one with them.” And the voice kept saying: ” The stars are reached, not by catching them, but by loving them. Just love them and they will be so near you, that you will not believe it.” And the voice disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the one who was listening said: ” Well, it was ambitious on my part, to pretend possessing that treasure. I will be happy by loving them. But I have to make this love sincere and not short lived. I will see if in this way, I will be near these wonderful lights” He then, sat and started contemplating and loving them. Since he was in the top of the mountain, most of the townspeople, gave him as lost. But he kept on loving and loving the stars, through the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the day came, he closed his eyes and he started contemplating them inside and he thought: “Love is the key” And he kept on loving them for a long time, so long that he forgot about time. And then all his life, he contemplated them. During days, months, years, until the time came, when he said to the stars: “I am a star now, and is not because I want to catch them, but because I share the light of its Love. Now, the stars are in me and in everything”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That man had discovered the principle of Prayer. And this is also the beginning of this treatise in the form of narration. PRAYER, is the source and is the foundation of unity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Art for Instant Meditation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Art-and-Movement"&gt;http://stores.ebay.com/Art-and-Movement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation Rooms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/meditation_online.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/meditation_online.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspirational Videos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/VIDEOS.htm"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/VIDEOS.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-1290796810462323274?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/1290796810462323274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/09/language-of-angels-sharing-light-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1290796810462323274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1290796810462323274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/09/language-of-angels-sharing-light-of.html' title='The Language of the Angels.

This is what happened: A man went into the jungle and found a lion, who attacked him, biting his leg. The man was lucky because he was rescued before it was too late, but he had to spend a long time in the hospital. When he regained his strength back, he organized a team to capture the lion and after he captured the lion, he took him in front of the townspeople and brought the judge of the area trying to get his approval to execute the lion. It happened that the lion was in a cage in the town square and the man showed his wounds to the judge and said: "I ask for justice Sir, this evil animal attacked and bit me, I almost lost my leg and I was -for a long time, recuperating in the hospital. To make amends, I ask for the life of this lion, I want his head and fur, so I can place them as decoration in my living room."&lt;br /&gt;And the judge answered: "Let's consider one thing at the time: Tell me Sir, did you go the house of the lion?"&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, Sir, said the hunter."&lt;br /&gt;And the judge kept saying: "Are you a natural inhabitant of the jungle?"&lt;br /&gt;And the hunter said: " No, Sir, I live very far away in another city."&lt;br /&gt;Then, the judge said: "Tell me, if you live in another city, what are you trying to do by going to the dwelling of the lion? If you tried to enter my house without authorization, you could face many horrible things. I found the lion to be innocent and you to be guilty. I order the lion to be liberated and taken back to his natural habitat. And you are completely forbidden of visiting the jungle because it has been ratified that you are the instigator of your own evil. We want to make clear that all beings must have their own space and the ones who do not occupy their natural place, are considered to be invaders. I find you guilty and you must do one year of community work and from this moment your function will be to clean this town square."&lt;br /&gt;It was then established that each one is king in his own place and nobody should look for problems in places where they do not belong. Nature is a sanctuary and as such, has its norms and laws and if we go beyond our limits, we will be risking to lose our own lives. Let's respect the natural spaces.&lt;br /&gt;What will man do after all the animals become extinct? after he cuts down all the trees? The answer is simple; after man has harmed all that he must not, he will go against himself. And finally if men continue doing what they are doing, they will kill themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Let's leave the lion in the jungle, the tree in the forest and lastly, man in the city; and if he wants to come near Nature, he must respect, appreciate, honor and admire but he must never feel with the power and authority of destroying or harming. &lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nature is the primordial source of life and life must be admired and respected.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-652421539075577465?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/652421539075577465/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/03/it-happened-in-jungle-spiritual.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/652421539075577465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/652421539075577465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/03/it-happened-in-jungle-spiritual.html' title='It Happened in the Jungle: Spiritual Narration'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-8515657090711534489</id><published>2010-03-06T10:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-06T10:38:50.923-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harmony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peace'/><title type='text'>Let's Live in Harmony and Peace</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S5KgkgJ8njI/AAAAAAAABig/ZlCE3oc6dFM/s1600-h/13-R-w-7-nuevaGaleria-alternativeartx480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" kt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S5KgkgJ8njI/AAAAAAAABig/ZlCE3oc6dFM/s200/13-R-w-7-nuevaGaleria-alternativeartx480.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The most important group of wise men were assembled in the outskirts of the city. These were really wise , because they had dedicated their lives to contemplate, admire and appreciate the harmony of this world. The reason of the meeting was that in the last hundred years, the destruction of Nature had hastened and they wanted to build a monument to call the attention of everybody. They wanted to deliver the message that it was necessary to take care of the Earth and Nature. Not only with comments but with actions. It was necessary to show that there was a feeling, a commitment, to that purpose in order to have a change. Since the wise men were admitting that it was increasing the damage, maltreatment, extinction and garbage. Because tomorrow and later: what would we have left as a planet, as home ? Then, the wise men decided to do a contest in order to motivate young people and adults, to live in a world of peace and harmony with Nature. It was agreed that the one who could fulfill the requirements, would be recognized as a wise person compromised with the real life. It happened that many went to the contest and delivered big speeches since they wanted to be recognized as an authority in the matter. It may have been that to be called wise man captivated them more than the project per se. And many brought sculptures, poems, poetry; they all were compromised somehow but there was always shining in some of them, the conceited desire to be chosen like the best. And, of course, this contest was very unique and some of the contestants were almost ready to wear the crown. Many came with medals, horses, musical bands, to the point that the spirit of the contest was somewhat lost. Because it was a large field but there were a lot of papers, bottles, bags, newspapers, leftovers, vehicles; we could say that 30% was a big fiasco. And on top, another group was formed and they were protesting against the first group. Overall, the convention lasted three days and the damage caused was not repaired for thirty days. All the expositions were reviewed and the comments were good but many persons were not consistent since there was one who spoke with beautiful words but was wearing leather. And he said: "Let's love the animals"&lt;br /&gt;There was a committee of refined ladies who promised to contribute many millions but were wearing fur coats. Then, many miners, people in the construction business and people whose business was to cut down trees came with the idea of collaborating with money but with the purpose of receiving some recognition. Truly, there was nobody to pick but the organizers trying to solve this problem, said that there was a draw and to solve the situation they would accept another person, who was not recommended, who did not have millions. Then, they looked for and found another person. There were two contestants who were very rich, were highly recommended and they had their fans. And one of then was asked: &lt;br /&gt;" What do you feel in front of so much damage caused to our Nature?"&lt;br /&gt;And the man said: "Our corporation will contribute millions for the investigation of the forestation and the study of all the beautiful wood and species, in order to establish a self supportive mechanism that assures to these species, a habitat, reservations zoos, scientific investigation and development."&lt;br /&gt;He received some applause. Another contestant seemed very philosophical, very enthusiastic and said:&lt;br /&gt;"The first thing to do is for man not to mix with Nature so we will build a big wall and we will bring an army that will take care of the area and they will fine or sent to jail the ones who dump trash or make a mess." &lt;br /&gt;He also added: "If we are not careful, we will be left without a planet." He had some approval.&lt;br /&gt;The turn came for the third one and they asked him again but since he did not seem to be an important person, they just asked: "What do you feel?" &lt;br /&gt;And he said: "I see Nature and all her inhabitants as my father, mother, brothers, even more, I see Nature as my heart, hands, eyes, feet. In the mountains, I see my grandparents and hopes, which I will reach someday by virtue of my faith on life; in the rivers, I see the satiated thirst of men, women and children; I see the purity, the gentleness of my mother breast feeding me; in the earth, I see my home, the womb of my mother, the children being born, I see the blooming of life."&lt;br /&gt;He had not finished talking and they interrupted him because his speech was very different than the others. They hurried him, even more, they mistreated him, saying: "Be specific, say something and finish."&lt;br /&gt;And they asked him again: "What do you feel?"&lt;br /&gt;And he answered: " When I see my mother suffering and her children dying, I feel sadness, a very deep sadness, as a root that is withering, and I cry when I see a cut down tree thinking about how many wasted years. If you want me to sum up my feelings, I will say that I feel a tear in the deepest part of my being." After he said those words, the public immediately took sides, like the created interests, the laboratories companies, who did not understand, but the natural persons, gave him a continuous ovation.&lt;br /&gt;It was so much that this brought an end to the tie and a monument was chosen, that showed a man raising a withered, dried flower to the sky and he was surrounded by cut down trees, dead animals and the man had many tears in his face. There was also an inscription that said: " Let's never reach the point of having to cry for what we have lost that will never come back" And next to the monument, they planted what would be a forest, that also had another inscription: " You are welcome, man, because you are one with Nature. Let's live in harmony and peace. Let's serve one to the other, because that is the path to eternity." &lt;br /&gt;And in this way, a great truth was found and it was recognized great authority and wisdom in this natural, unaffected man. &lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Author and Artist: Oscar Basurto Carbonell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;http://www.mystichealingart.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-8515657090711534489?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/8515657090711534489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/03/lets-live-in-harmony-and-peace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/8515657090711534489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/8515657090711534489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/03/lets-live-in-harmony-and-peace.html' title='Let&apos;s Live in Harmony and Peace'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S5KgkgJ8njI/AAAAAAAABig/ZlCE3oc6dFM/s72-c/13-R-w-7-nuevaGaleria-alternativeartx480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-1108343937309650443</id><published>2010-02-07T17:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T17:19:53.854-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>How to Live Reflecting the Light</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S29mDHecUcI/AAAAAAAABhY/RCOwpVrKszk/s1600-h/25Y-Intuicion-28-480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="149" kt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S29mDHecUcI/AAAAAAAABhY/RCOwpVrKszk/s200/25Y-Intuicion-28-480.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;To live, is a great opportunity to be all the good, we can be. We don’t need wings as the angels, but certainly, that would be nice. The reason to become the best is very simple, since that good will become our own good. That Truth will be a light that will illuminate our life and the lives of all who surround us.&lt;br /&gt;There are other alternatives of life, where we can reach glory and power very fast but this will be as a house founded under moving sand, with a crystal palace on top, which will break anytime. And those lies will spread by our path and it would be house of deceit and infidelity. For some persons, not facing reality can be a method of life, but that is not a safe path.&lt;br /&gt;Some great investments in order to live and to dream are: effort, work, dedication, determination and long hours dedicated to achieve our goals, to become a true person, surrounded by great human beings, with whom to share sincerity, honesty and devotion.&lt;br /&gt;God, Who sees into our hearts, into our reasons, will exalt the just and humiliate the insincere, whose heart is based only on vanity and we don’t want this. We want to be solid bridge, we want God watching over us and when we claim to Him, we want Him to be present and call us by our name, because we are children of the Light, and His Light, always have to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;E-books to read while traveling the Spiritual Path&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stores.lulu.com/mystichealingart"&gt;http://stores.lulu.com/mystichealingart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-1108343937309650443?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/1108343937309650443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-live-reflecting-light.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1108343937309650443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/1108343937309650443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-live-reflecting-light.html' title='How to Live Reflecting the Light'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0LOKYQ__cJQ/S29mDHecUcI/AAAAAAAABhY/RCOwpVrKszk/s72-c/25Y-Intuicion-28-480.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-5747068732051370146</id><published>2010-01-17T11:34:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-17T11:34:32.167-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haiti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='compassion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solidarity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prayers'/><title type='text'>Haiti, you are in our Prayers</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In order to avoid preferences he made them wear long robes with their heads covered and in this way nobody could see them but only listen to their discussion. And the king said: ” The winner will be considered as great mentor and she will govern all this place.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;When the wise men heard those words they decided between themselves to choose the most alike to them so their town could not reclaim them anything. So, they were guided to a large room and were told: ” You’ll have to answer our questions, by which, you will be evaluated and qualified.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Then, they followed the rules and asked one of them: ” Tell us about you.” And she said: ” If you ever would get depressed, I would never abandon you. I would be by your side night and day. If you ever had difficulties and anguish, I assure you that I will be there for you.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;And they asked the same question to the other sister, who answered: ” If all that would happen, I would flee, I could not stand it.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;They were most surprised by that answer and tried to dwell on the topic, by asking one of them: ” What would you do if somebody very close to you in the town, would die?” She answered right away: ” I would be in front of the funeral procession helping with my own hands in the burial. As you all, I would go day by day to the grave of this person. Even more, whether this person had my affection or not, I would help with all my heart.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;They were moved by the answer and they asked the other sister who said: ” I could not visit the cemetery, I could never join you and even if you asked me to go only once, I could not do it.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;The wise men were most uncomfortable for this answer. They did not want to ask more questions but three questions were a must and they asked one of the sisters: ” How do you get along with people? ” And she said: ” I deeply go into their hearts and then, I take care of their minds, without leaving anything unattended. I am most interested since the first moment and once, I know them, no matter what happens, I am committed to always accompany them.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;The wise men were most astonished with that answer and commented: ” How charming, what a nice expression!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Then, they asked the other sister who said: ” I am fleeting and passing, it may be that I will be with you part of the day but you will not find me easily. If I enter your door, I will leave by your window and before night fall you would have forgotten me.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;On listening to these words, the king, who had been present, said: ” This is enough!” And the wise men also agreed. Then, they chose one and they dismissed the other sister. They even told her: ” Because of your answers, it is much better, that you leave this town, we ask you to go and never come back. There is no place for you here. It is clear that your sister will be made mentor and she will rule the house of the king and all the townspeople. Her orders will be law forever.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;The story goes that nothing was left of that town, only this story. If you ever pass by that place, you will see desert, wasteland and dust. Not even the filthiest animals and despicable beings enter that place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;I then asked who were those sisters. And they told me that those sisters were “Sadness” and ” Happiness”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;As you already realized, when they were all covered with robes and hoods they looked alike. Sadness is possessive, absorbing and a liar, that is the reason that she won since she gave the impression of perfect attention. While the other sister, is like a shooting star since happiness is a passing state. But a terrible thing happened as soon as Sadness started to rule, the king lost his family, horrible plagues came, the harvests were lost. Sadness took over their hearts and finally all was lost.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Nothing was known about Happiness since she was forbidden from coming into the city and that is why the kingdom was lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Life is filled with mysteries!

Teachings. Inspirational</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;The human being, often is, a complex psychological mechanism. This, may seem absurd but in reality means, not wanting to assume real responsibilities. And mainly, looking for constant self justification and running away from himself, for the only reason of maintaining tranquility and control. But this is a self deceit attitude. It is sad, that people keep hiding behind many masks, avoiding to have self knowledge while making constant rituals, out of life. They hide their own feelings, which they cut off, before they bloom. These are depressed people with a mask of spirituality or honesty and with supposed great sense of solidarity. And who can be found in every place and condition, forming part of a team but they hide behind the other persons, since they don't want to be themselves. These persons are condemning themselves to failure in all they do, in every type of relationship, they will never get to be happy and if they are, is from a posture of self defense and negation to life itself. Many aspects of human evolution, follow this process. The spirituality is a conscious practice, where it is truly lived, and is not a path followed in a blind way, confusing this attitude with faith, which has another meaning. Faith, is a true commitment to spiritual communion, where the process of analysis and thought are related to accomplish excellence in every sense. Life, is to be lived with intensity. This means, to love the process of getting to know and to discover the best that we can be. Divine Love, does not want us to be blind, ignorant, fanatics or simple mechanisms, but rather to realize the best talents of living. There is a great difference between living in constant fear, pretending everything is fine, while being self deceived, or rather, living a life full of spiritual plenitude. Let's start by asking ourselves : What do I understand ? What is the objective of the spiritual life ? How to discover its meaning ? Why is Love, good ? In this way, and by taking life in this true and responsible form, we will be a true and real being. Let's not pretend what we are not. Let's be the best that we can be, for the good of all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Online Learning.

By example: To ask that everything goes in the right way in my work. Not to have accidents. To make a sale. To find what I lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;This person was saying that prayer has to do with asking and establishing a form of communication. Nevertheless, this is untrue. God can’t be conditioned in any way. The relationship with God is without time and space, without interchange of possessions. I can’t make my relationship with God conditional to whether I want a new car or a new pair of designer shoes. That is not the right way.The right way is to realize the genuine Love and not to use the term indifference because Love is always interested in Love. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I can say that Love will always bring and carry something good. But this good is not the beginning and the end. It is one of the most genuine and with a noble interest. One good example of this love is the love for our children, which is not only responsible and giving but also is a tender and sweet love, which understands, accepts and even in the good sense of the word, also tolerates. We find in this love many similar points of spiritual characteristics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Then, let’s go to the matter: How to love God? How to love God above all things, with all the strength and power of our being?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt; Here is the secret:The love that God looks for, is the love that is loyal, that is witness of the vision which arises from a heart in the process of purification. In this human heart has been found the understanding and the grace of appreciating not only the good but also the origin of the good. In its most complete and absolute synthesis is the gratitude for life, as much personal as universal. As much as the inner as the outer life, in a life of awareness, discernment, understanding and appreciation, which recognizes with faithfulness, what God gives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The love to God comes from gratitude. It is also a commitment and the highest degree of loyalty and fidelity. But which God? It is not the one of the image, neither the one of the power or the riches. It is the joy of life, and not only of life but also its origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"God, Father, i love You, because You have given me life. Because You are the Creator, because nothing exists but Your Word. You are the maker of justice and good. How not to believe in You, how not to Love You, if you are Love Itself."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-7496053936626210931?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/7496053936626210931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-love-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7496053936626210931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7496053936626210931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-love-god.html' title='How to Love God'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277993202476094880.post-7329023960962346971</id><published>2009-08-22T07:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-22T07:33:25.499-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspirational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing quotes'/><title type='text'>Joy and Happiness</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;This is a subject directly related to joy and happiness. It is beyond riches and poverty, even beyond everything. This everything may be good health and disease.&lt;br /&gt;The Love that we receive and the Love that we give are most important. Every living being needs recognition, understanding, dedication, support, affection, tenderness. The plenitude of life is not the gold but the treasure of been accepted. This is a process, similar to a very fine instrument, which has to be perfectly tuned in order to give the best of itself. Here is one of the pillars, the foundation that supports a creative, strong, healthy and generous society. The persons are not prepared, even more, they are not educated to have consideration and the right attitude. We have to reflect, to meditate, to consider the consequences for every action in life. Because life is made of the right fulfillment of our actions and the little touches are most important. We all are important. We all are royalty and subjects. We all are children of Love, Peace and Justice but very few know this and their actions are completely opposed.Man is constantly hurting himself. This is necessary to consider and understand : And it happens when our actions are not the ones that our spiritual nature demands as children of true Love, as sensible and conscious beings of an active spirituality and not by coincidence but by order, harmony and peace. The list of requirements may seem endless but it may be summarized in being real, original, true, authentic and in love with life.&lt;br /&gt;We don't have a real existence if we don't have a real participation, if the interest is not genuine, if the conscience does not grow, expands, blooms, improves. Then, we are closing our eyes, living in darkness, in the kingdom of shadows.&lt;br /&gt;True Love is not only poetry, a passing affection or a simple expression of love. It is expression of constant improvement and renewal.&lt;br /&gt;Our happiness is found beyond giving and receiving but through that process, life awakes and the spiritual intelligence expands and grows in life. And life is the art and inspiration of the Divine Creator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;visit the best inspirational site in the net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mystichealingart.com/"&gt;www.mystichealingart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1277993202476094880-7329023960962346971?l=the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/feeds/7329023960962346971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2009/08/joy-and-happiness.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7329023960962346971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1277993202476094880/posts/default/7329023960962346971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gift-of-the-present.blogspot.com/2009/08/joy-and-happiness.html' title='Joy and Happiness'/><author><name>mystichealingart</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
