Thanking and understanding

After four years, I'm in a better position than years back, when I started this blog and felt unhappy about the unfairness of certain events. Hard blows can affect you and fill you up in spite and posion your bloodstreams. Everything the people around you does, is misread, misinterpreted.

I've just re-read some old emails, and understood. How I wish I would have had my current skin way back then, my bloodstream, my clarity of thought.

I'm not happy about things that happenned in the past. I will never be. But I am greateful. They've made me who I am. I am me now.

Friends

In Argentina on the 20th of July we celebrate friendship day...

To my friends:
There are friends who stand up by you no matter what, those who are always up for a good party and for a boring one as long as you are together, those who are willing to listen even if your story is annoying, those who will go out of their way to help you out when you need a favour, those who you don't see that much but when you do you can't wait to have a long catch up, those who will make you feel you are the coolest person alive, those who won't let you ever down, those who will let you down but you forgive because you love and the most important of friends are those who are willing to tell you the truth no matter what.

Energy points for 108

There are said to be 108 energy lines, or nadis, converging to form the heart chakra. Marma points are like Chakras, or intersection of energy, with fewer converging energy lines. On Sri Yantra, the Marmas have 54 intersecting energy lines where three lines intersect. Each has feminine, or shakti, and masculine, or shiva, qualities. 54 X 2 = 108. Therefore there are 108 points that define the human body and the Sri Yantra or the Yantra of Creation. The same rule is observed in the Sanskrit language, with its 54 letters, both representing the two genders and they are also called Shiva and Shakti respectively; again, 54 X 2= 108.

Astronomy references to 108

The earth cycle is supposed to be of 2160 years = 20 x 108. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Sun. The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. The distance between the Earth and Moon is 108 times the diameter of the Moon. The universe is made up of 108 elements according to ancient texts. The current periodic table claims a few more than 108.
There are 12 constellation and 9 arc segments. 9 times 12 equal 108. The 9 planets travelling through the 12 signs constitute the whole of existence. 9 x 12 = 108. The 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations spread over the 4 elements – fire, earth, air, water or the 4 directions – north, south, east, and west. This also constitutes the whole of existence. 27 x 4 = 108.

De cosas que leo...

En Bingin, Indonesia termine de leer mi ultimo chick lit. Ahi mismo pense: basta de tanta basura melosa. Me decidi a que iba a empezar a leer cosas que me hicieran pensar. Apartar el chewing gum por un rato y cerrar la boca.

Entonces encontre un libro tirado en un revistero de un bar ahi. Sally's Beach Bar. Tenia la tapa rota (sin tapa) y algunas hojas sueltas. Igual lo empece a leer, para ver de que se trataba. El libro me encontro a mi, quizas? Se llamaba The Third Eye...

Era de la vida de un famoso lama y explicaba como funciona el Tibet en religion y politicamente.

Y asi me enganche a leer cosas mas inspiradoras. Y a pesar de que perdi el libro en un un barco, encontre otro con las ensenianzas del Dalai Lama.

The source of all misery in the world
Lies in thinking of oneself;
The source of all happiness
Lies in thinking of others.

Just say no

Como me cuesta. Porque me hago cargo y no quiero hacer sentir mal a nadie, prefiero pasar un mal momento yo que hacer pasar un mal momento al otro.

Hay vampiros, stalkers, gente que utiliza a gente que no sabe decir que no para chuparle energia y sacar provecho. Pero lo que uno pierde al no saber decir este facil monosilavo es autorespeto, confianza, y un poquito de uno mismo.

Y no hablo de saber decir que no a un amigo o a un ser querido. Eso no me cuesta. Me cuesta decir que no al desconocido. Y que riesgo.

Not everyone has to like you. You don't have to be friendly with everyone. Sometimes its better to people to know you us you are, with all your "yes" and all your "no's". And if sometimes you don't want to do something just say no. Even if it's uncomfortable, awkward.

Even if you have to hurt someone it's better to be upfront and sincere. Sincere with oneself.
