Can you really have fun, enjoy life, if you are sad?

You cannot paint a light color on a dark canvas and expect it to look the same as on the pot.
In this society, you have no right to be sad, or feel any negative emotion. So you paint layers and layers of fun on this dark canvas till the paint starts to crack and no one seems to be able to tell you why or help in a longlasting way.
But the moment you address the dark, you find your canvas was just full of dust. Why? Because you forgot about Your Self. You looked at your parents to tell you how to Be, and all they knew was to shake their own canvas over yours, sprinkling dust and bits of old paint, like their own parents did.

The bad is actually the good here, because no paint sticks on a dusty canvas. So it may take some time but you can peel away the layers of old paint till you reach the original canvas. Then you dust it, deep-clean the darkest parts, and start a new painting, of your own choosing.
This is when you will see how the dull colors you experienced are really vibrant.

Protection ritual: putting under a bell

This is the English translation of my previous blog.

This ritual is no magic. From what I understand now, it uses the principles of Quantum science. It is not linked to any religious belief and can be use by anyone who knows how to write, or eventually draw and imagine/visualize.

If you think your partner could benefit from it but won't believe in anything spiritual, just use the amazing: "What do you have to lose?".

Principle of the protection ritual

You are putting the person under a glass bell (like cheese). Anything this persons sends towards you, wether consciously or unconsciously, will be sent back. You will not be under that person's influence anymore.

Necessary gear

- 1 blanck sheet of paper (min. 10x10 cm / 4 in square)
- 1 rigid piece of cardboard or wood, or any book that is at least the size of the paper that you won't miss for the next months: you will use it to move the contraption easily.
- 1 glass or jar, not too big (usually I take peanut butter or a whisky glass that is clean and without writings)
- 1 pen that works well

How to

Set yourself at a table, in a calm environment.
Put the paper on the rigid medium/book.
Put the glass upside-down on the paper to see how much space you can use to write "inside" the glass.

Write the name of the person you think causes you trouble, so when you put the glass over it the name will fit into it with a bit of margin.

You can do it on several lines, and preferably visualize the person's face when you write the name.

Put the glass upside-down over it, like a bell. Keep it steady by pressing one finger onto th bottom, so you will easily be able to work your pen around the glass.

Use the pen to make a seal by tracing alongside the glass and onto the paper. You can go back and forth several times, but the circle must be complete. Imagine this makes the contraption air-tight.

When the seal is in place, do not move the glass onto/from the paper, or you'll have to start again.

Put the bell in a place it won't risk being bumped into: top-shelf, above the wardrobe, in a closet (if pets).

If necessary add a sign "Please do not touch - Tell [...] if you happen to do it by mistake".

Every 3 to 6 months, undo the contraption, clean the glass (dishwasher is fine). If you feel it is necessary, make a new one.

The effect is often immediate. If you happen to meet the person and feel pressured, just imagnine a mini-person yelling inside the bell like a trapped mosquito, and give it a BIG smile.

If the person is deliberately into a putting a spell on you, you will probably have news within 2 weeks, seing her panicked because all the bad happening to you before is happening to her now. Leave her to understand it by herself, and she will be better as soon as she stops trying to get at you.

For an extra boost, and if you know how to, program a crystal to spread Love, and put it above the glass.

Possible side-effects of the protection ritual

As said before, the person under the bell might experience bad things. Don't worry, it is not your fault: you are just doing a back to sender passive effet.

If the person really wants to hurt you and is versed enough into magic, she can protect herself from your protection. If you see one of your family member starting to behave strangely, have him/her put that person under a bell. The back-to-sender will happen to the equivalent person on the other side, with double-power. Usually, it starts with the partner, then the child or pet.

I have been used this way to hurt my mother. That person's son brke his leg the next day.

It could be that several people work on you in a group. If so, check how many (with a pendulum, for example) and write "That guy and the 3 other people".

You always know the person who started it, even if she/he uses a surrogate for the ritual (call-on voodoo wizard or something). Then just write "That person and the one helping him/her".

You can only do that for yourself. You cannot do it in place of someone (this would be meddling with free-will). 

If you have a pet under attack, then visualize the pet linked to your Heart by a glodish-light thread when you make the bell. If possible, have the pet on your lap.


EDIT:
If you know how to program crystals, you can point a quartz to the glass to send Love. The effects will be amplified.
You can also write the name on a tiny piece of paper that you fold and place under the glass. The rest of the ritual (sealing) remains the same.

My favourite things

I have been reading Teal Scott's blog (she's a woman about my age who incarnates the new sense of spirituality most of us are drawn to), and she wrote that List of my favorite things. This made me wonder: what are my favourite things?

Feeling the cold air get inside my lungs
Kneading dough
The sound of the rain
The scent of the air just before a storm
The soft touch of shadow in Summer
Freshwater, and swimming in lakes
Facing the wind
Berries
Sewing, tearing fabric
Cocoa, cinnamon & chili
Cooking... I am into dehydrating things right now
A warm cat purring in Winter
Walking in the rain

So many things coming up and I am not even into food yet...

Fixing stuff
Old trees & big stones
Dishwashing... washing & cleaning in general
Crunching numbers (accounting is so much fun!)
Long hair
Have people raise an eyebrow at me, and then smile in wonder
Knowing I have a family out-there

No, sorry, too many things I like, love, to pick anything else...

Life-changing: the Crossing

A friend asked my why nothing good was happening to him, why he could not get the good first, and then leave the bad behind. This is the picture that formed into my mind...


At some point in your Life, you stand at a zebra-crossing. Behind you is your current life, friends, lovers, issues... On the other side of the street is your new life, happy, fulfilling, waiting for you.
The light is green, the cars have stopped, there is even this guy in a flashy yellow jacket urging you to cross. But you don't know... How can you be sure this new life is better? Can't you just have a taste and then decide wether or not to keep going this new way?

Life is all about zebra-crossings. You cannot expect the new life to come to you if you are not ready to let go of the old one. Yes, there will be a time of uncertainty, a time during which you will be alone, wondering, inbetween... You will have no security.
This time, you dread it will last forever. How can anyone know for sure? Is there anything sure?

Yes. This time will last just long enough for you to cross the street. The crossing itself is safe, all you have to do is take the first step. When you do this, you will be on your way. Whenever you are on your way, things move quickly. This time is a time for friends, people who really care about you and you can count on. This is when you find you are not alone. All you have to do after taking that first step is holding your hand out, asking, and a friend will grab it and cross with you.

This first tiny step depends on your free-will. You cannot expect anyone to make it happen for you. It is not only about saying you want to cross: it is about showing you want to.
Remember the story of the man who prayed all his life to win the lottery, and when he died he was angry at God for not answering his prayers. God said all he had to do was to buy a lottery ticket but he never did.
See how action is important? The stream of Life will always lead you to the same destination, but it is up to you to row your boat from time to time so you do not get stuck on driftwood, get carried away into rapids or cross the fisnish line swimming.

What I like the most about zebra-crossings is that they go both ways; all you have to do is to wait for the red light to turn green again...

Once upon a sorrow
So deep no one could ever show

As if a soul was stuck (in) between, night and day

Between the world of now and yesterday

An angel came to me, without wings nor feathers

This angel came to me with nothing (else) but love

I felt this angel on my shoulder

And I smiled, I just smiled

Here you see, said the woman,

You can remember (from) long ago

You felt perfection in heaven

And now you see but flaws

Once upon a sadness

So cold no one could ever touch

As if my soul was warmed (in) between, night and day

Between the arms of all humanity

Remember, said the woman,

Your angel is with you

Ask him for miracles

And he will make them true

Even if you can’t see

How it looks, it’s meant to be

Keep living, keep loving

Keep breathing, keep shining

It will grant you the key of heaven (on Earth)

Il était un chagrin

Si profond que nul ne pourrait jamais le montrer

Comme si une âme était coincée entre, nuit et jour

Entre le monde de maintenant et d’hier

Un ange est venu à moi, sans ailes ni plumes

Cet ange est venu à moi avec rien d’autre que de l’amour

J’ai senti cet ange sur mon épaule

Et j’ai souri, juste souri

Tu vois, a dit la femme,

Tu te souviens d’il y a longtemps

Tu as ressenti la perfection au paradis

Et maintenant tu ne vois que les défauts

Il était une tristesse

Si froide que nul ne pourrait jamais la toucher

Comme si mon âme était réchauffée entre, nuit et jour

Dans les bras de toute l’humanité

Souviens-toi, a dit la femme,

Ton ange est avec toi

Demande-lui des miracles

Et il les réalisera

Même si tu ne vois pas

A quoi ça ressemble, c’est comme ça doit être

Continue à vivre, continue à aimer

Continue à respirer, continue à briller

Cela t’apportera la clé du paradis (sur Terre)

Smoking weed, meditation and spirituality

I recently started to offer my point of view and some help on the Spirit Science Forums. On this particular topic, I have no active/voluntary experience in smoking weed. However, I spent some time discussing with a regular, who had similar issues about quitting, and here is what you can do if you do not feel ready to quit yet, but are willing to improve.

When you smoke, dedicate your joint to awareness, to the seeking of Truth and greater consciousness etc. Smoke it when you are alone (or go some other place). Feel it. Take your time. Be fully conscious of what happens inside you, body and mind. Focus, and shut your phone down.
Roll it as you would perform a sacred ritual. Keep the herbs in a nice box. Keep the box in a place you consider as a temple, sacred.

When weed is not directly available in front of you, like open on the table, the need is less present. You will not be like "Hey, my hands are empty, let's roll a joint" and then "Hey, got a joint in my hand, let's smoke it".
When you smoke consciously, you know why you do it, not just  because "friends around" or "feeling lazy" or "partying".

I personnaly am against the use of drugs that weaken your mental defenses. Yes, you get higher, quicker. Yes, you are more open to the spiritual world.
You have no idea what can get inside when you are so open and unaware... Many lost souls wait near bars at closing hours, just to get inside a new body, drunk and defenseless.

You need no force of will to work it out. All you need is diligence. Make the dedication a habit and half the job is done.

Keep true to yourself. If you do something, know why you do it physically, mentally and spiritually, and live with it.

To feelk, as to think through your heart

When I came up with this new word, I did not know it was already part of the Urban Dictionary. However, I do not give it exactly the same meaning.

To feelk, is one par feeling, one part thinking. It does not mean relying on one's emotions only. It is some kind of processing, analysing, through your Heart.

When someone asks me about the righteouness of an action, of a thought, of a premonition, [now] I just ask them to think about it through the Heart.
This Heart is meant not only to remove all the filters that the ego, the brain and the fears have applied, but also to look for the answer beyond everything, the one that lies in this Pure Love we all have a sparkle of.

So, when you are confronted to a situation that troubles you, take a breath and ask yourself how you feelk about it. The Truth is there.

It is not easy to differentiate the Heart from the Ego disguised as a heart. The more steps you take on your path, the easier it will become.
Sometimes you will not like what you feelk. It will go against some social principles that tell you to stay at that party, to remain with those people... What is the most important for you? What do you feelk is the most important?


To give you an example, there is this friend who was with me when the word came up. This friend I would like to keep in touch with. But he needs to stay away for a while. Or better, I feelk I need to let him be on his path away from me. The brain & the friend want to know if he is doing OK, even help maybe. The Heart says whatever and however he is doing, it is right for him at this very time. So even if this makes me sad, I am glad he is on His Own way. We'll come across each-other in a year or in a decade.
There is no chance, but appointments with Life!

10 things (not) to do to a girl when you...

Sorry guys, but it has to be said (I name no one). This is no moral lesson about sex. This is suitable for teenagers TOO. These are just some basics that can change your life; ask someone else for the complete list...

1.      Do not ask her every second “Are you Okay?”: sex should be good and safe, if you are afraid to hurt her, have no sex! This is irritating, basically, but if in the course of action you make it sound like, uh... “Aaaa... rrrre youuuu OOOOk’aaaayyy?” (bonus score if your voice comes out pointed),  the girl starts asking herself questions about her part in it.
 Of course she will answer “Yes... Yes...”, but before the third time you ask, it will be faked.

2.      Let her touch whatever she wants to: you have a panoramic view, she doesn’t! (You will come to like it, trust me).

3.      Do not comment on her shaving: if you find it itchy, what do you think we feel like? Just once, wax your leg (one is enough pain for non-SM lovers) and you will understand half of it; just once, shave your “private surroundings” and wait for 3 days (takes a week to get better).
The easiest and most efficient erogenous area to find is not the one you think of... Skin is all-over the body, it is composed of thousands of sensors that have but one wish: get activated!
Massage, when done properly, is... WOW!

4.      Women are no lockers: they will not open up if you turn the nipple upside-down. The nipple itself is not the most sensitive part* (it is designed to resist baby teeth); try the soft skin at the border... The French says to turn your tongue around in your mouth 7 times before speaking; then ask her if she likes it or prefers massage.
*About 1% of women can get a “nipple-orgasm”. If the nipple goes a bit inward, she is the 1%.

5.      Frigidity does not exist: it is all about the way your team plays. Learn what she likes (ask! Here is a sweet method:) Try to look very serious, like a dedicated pupil, point at something, look at her face (eyes), then stimulate that thing in deep concentration, then look at her again “How could I make it better?”.
The tip is to stay away from the “critical area”; are left: elbow, knee, hip, chin... the range is wide. Be creative! Feathers, ice cube (for experts only), a lock of hair (if still on someone’s head)...

6.      Women do not have a licence on multiple orgasms: men can have deep, powerful, non-staining orgasms. It is a technique you can practise anywhere, it takes about 20 minutes for the first one (like women’s, oh!) and then...
Prostate is your best friend from now on. Check on the Internet! If anyone says that you must be gay, tell them it is the best way to prevent cancer (true!) and live longer (good sex keeps good shape!). Do not worry; it is like knocking on Heaven’s door, but pressing on the doorbell.

7.      When a girl cuddles, 98% of the time she just wants to cuddle. (If she wanted sex, she would already have everything in hand, if you see what I mean). So take her in your arms, kiss endlessly like when you were in (Junior) High School, let her love You, instead of your best friend, Willy (the French call it “Popol”).

8.      Women do not have less needs. Women have more. Women just try to look for quality instead of quantity (which explains why we go for older guys sometimes).

9.      Life is not a movie. You cannot last forever. Moaning, swaring or facials are not necessary. Even Australia has no map for the Bush. “No” and “ouch!” might mean it hurts: listen to her! There is no magical button; there is no magic wand either. Everyone is different, has different feelings. Just respect that.

To all women who are desperate because it does not work as you imagined it would, stop expecting to find an orgasm in Santa’s sack. It all comes from within; you are the only one who can grant yourself the right to feel it! Do not be afraid of your body; do not listen to someone else: the solution is in your mind!

To all guys that now feel like kicking me down (ego... ego... ego...), I am too far away! :p

Paris 2007 @Amma’s

The funny thing is that every day about 5000 people come to Amma's meeting, and two-thirds of the hotel clients were dressed up in sarees and unusual natural clothing.

When we arrived at 10:30 a.m., Amma was already giving the Darshan: an embrace during which you get all the love of the world. It was just wonderful, enormous and extremely organized (they give you tickets and you wait for your turn, but this is necessary: in 36 years, she gave the Darshan to over 26 million people on Earth!).

In the evening, you have the Bhajans, so-to-say devotional chanting, plus some teachings through stories.
Here are some:
- A man goes to see an old friend he had not seen for years. When he gets to his home, he hears his friend calling his wife "sweet heart" or "darling" all the time. When the wife goes away to the kitchen, he asks: "After 35 years of mariage, how can you still call her all these sweet names? It is very nice!". And the friend answers: "Tell no one but for the last 10 years I haven't been able to recall her name...".
- Many people who read a lot think that they can learn anything just from books. However, wanting to know the taste of honey by licking the word printed in a book is not very efficient, is it?

On Sunday, you had the Puja, ceremony where holy water is made. The water was smelling of Chlorine, but it was a very high experience in terms of energy.

Later on, Amma meditated a bit to incarnate Mother Earth, and gave a special Darshan called Devi Bhava. Some people say that it is nothing, that gurus are liars etc., but if you are on a spiritual path, you experience very very unusual things (no drugs involved). For my 22nd birthday, my mother took me in her arms, and my Mother welcomed me in the World.
