We cry

Today, it was about 7:00PM and I took my dog out for a walk, on my way back I heard someone crying a painful and sad cry. It was a man aged about 70 on his silk pajamas, sitting on a stair. I approached him and asked if he was ok, and as that pain was only his, he didn’t want to talk, so I left him.

So why do we suffer ?

Most of times it happens because we do not want to accept things as they come to teach us something, a lesson of some sort. To accept is not easy so we struggle the facts whatever they are.

Differences are difficult to accept. We do not accept the other’s opinion, action, or habits.

If we have not yet understood the meaning of the situation we will definitely suffer, most of the times unnecessarily.

Let me give you a tip, proud is a terrible thing. It is the opposite to humbleness.

No matter if you are rich or poor, if you act in a humble way understanding and listening with love to the other you will realize how small your problem is. On the other hand if you harm someone or live in your proud, you will suffer.

When talking to someone else, try to listen more than talk, get a smile on your face rather than a sour face. Don’t discuss things just to prove your point. You won’t be able to.

Give a hand, give two, give our arms. Get rid of your material thoughts. No one belongs to anyone. Nothing belongs to us or will remain in our hands for long.

Release people from their captivity and try to see if you are not the one who is holding the person to be truly free. Let go. Be free, be happy.

Birthday Thoughts

Not a symbolic date, turning 46 has shown me a click. One of those that you have in a life time, here it goes :
"The oposite of Happiness is not Sadness, but Insatisfaction."
Many of us when are satisfied with food, boose or sex, have a kind of lazy smile on our faces.
It desapears within a few hours after, and we are ready for more. More material pleasures.
But can we get enough ? When is plenty, enough,  ?
You wake up in the morning and your chest has a kind of deep hole on it. You feel lonelly even with lots of people aroud you. There is  something missing. One may think, I have had a great lobster with perfect wine, had sex with two sexiest girls but there is something missing.
You look at the mirror and you see "proud'. Here goes a tip : Break the bloody mirror down. Proudness is the fastest way to go sad, empty and fullish.
You will only find satisfaction when you can balance things in your life, half spiritual, half material. The maximum you can can get on material is 50%, , but spiritually we can go up to 100% and join God for good. Meanwhile, you can take time, God will give you as many lives a you need on Earth to learn about simplicity.
Dedicate some time for reading, for walking around, to play with dogs or children, to gardening and get you hands on soil. Talk to friends in person, disconnect from internet (after you read this...heheh).
Sex is great as a phisical activity, but try to make love, make love to the same person for a longer period of time. Get intimate. Share the little you have, not what you have in abundance. Look for those in deep needs, and talk to them, they will help you more than you to them.
You can get satisfaction, you can be happy.
I have learned it in these last 5 years, all of the above may not be suitable for all, it was just great for me, and I wanted to share it with you, as I am pretty happy with a piece of my birthday cake.
Have a happy new life.

THE CURE

No, it is not a rock band.

What does cure consist of ?  Many will say that is it a relation between the right drugs in the right time to the right person. Makes sense.

Não, não é uma banda de rock

Em que consiste a cura ? Muitos vão dizer que ela é a relação entre as drogas corretas, na hora certa, na pessoa certa. Faz sentido

But how about spiritual healing ? Have you heard of it?

Well, close to Ribeirão Preto, in the countryside of the State of São Paulo, there is a city called Franca. There is where a man lived a long part of his life healing people. His name was Ismael Alonso y Alonso, a son of Spanish immigrants, who studied Medicine and Pharmacy, and got involved in politics. There was a difficulty in telling from Dr. Alonso, who was the Mayor of Franca from who was the "Doctor of the Poor".
Mas que tal cicatrização espiritual ? Já ouviu falar ?
Bem, perto de Ribeirão Preto, no interior do Estado de São Paulo, há uma cidade chamada Franca. É lá que viveu um homem, boa parte de sua vida curando pessoas. Seu nome era Ismael Alonso y Alonso, um filho de imigrantes espanhóis que estudou medicina e farmácia e se envolveu em política. Havia uma grande dificuldade em separar o Dr. Alonso que era o prefeito de Franca do que era o "Médico dos Pobres"

After he passed away (I mean his body died) he continued to work healing people, but now using the body of João Berbel, a simple Mechanician  who could barely read and write.

Dr. Alonso chose him. When asked by João Berbel, why him, Dr. Alonso said "Do you thing 'educated' people have time to work for the good, full time ?"
Depois que ele morreu (desencarnou) ele continuoua trabalhar na cura das pessoas, mas dessa vez usando o corpo de João Berbel, um simples mecânico que mal sabia ler e escrever.
Dr. Alonso escolheu ele. Quando João Berbel perguntou por que ele Dr. Alonso disse " você acha que as pessoas estudadas têm tanto tempo para o trabalho no bem ?"

And so João Berbel started to use his mediumnity to heal people.

I then, went to visit the Hospital and talked to the people who were there getting the beneficts from "above". Hundreds, actually thousands of people getting their results. In periods from 30 to 90 days, cancer, hemorrhoids, bursitis, headache, obesity, bones, you name it... everything healed.
Então João Berbel começou a usar sua mediunidade para curar as pessoas.
Eu, então, fui visitar o Hospital e conversar com as pessoas que estavam recebendo os benefícios do "além". Centenas, na verdade milhares de pessoas sendo curadas. No período de 30 a 90 dias, cancer, hemorróida, bursite, dor-de-cabeça, obesidade, ossos, tudo... tudo curado.

And yet it is not about medicine, it is about understanding what for many seem to be cheating for the people it means relief and cure. I took 6 friends over there in the last two months, the results are there and that includes me who have also received treatment.
E ainda, não é sobre medicina, é sobre compreensão o que para muitos parece ser enganação , para outros trata-se de alívio e cura. Eu levei 6 amigos lá nos últimos dois meses, e os resultados estão aí, e isso me inclui, que também recebi tratamento.

 Every month 3,4tones of phitoterapeutical pils are distributed for free. The mission lives out of selling the 200 title books, João Berbel wrote through psycophony sent from several spirits.
Todos os meses 3.400kg de remédios fitoterápicos são distribuidos de graça. A missão sobrevive da venda dos mais de 200 títulos de livros psicofonados por João Berbel, a partir de muitos espíritos.

My conclusion is that there is not a thing called disease, but a person who says to have it.

If you are interested in knowing more about Spiritism or Kardecism, search on Google for Alan Kardec, Chico Xavier, Bezerra de Meneses, Euripedes Barsanulfo.

If you are looking for some cure, what can you loose ? - André Rodini.
Minha conclusão é que não existe a doença, mas o doente. Se você estiver interessado em conhecer mais sobre o Espiritismo ou Kardecismo, procure no Google por Allan Kardec, Chico Xavier, Bezerra de Meneses, Eurípedes Barsanulfo. Se você estiver procurando alguma cura, o que você tem a perder ? - André Rodini

 João Berbel, touching people, transfering energy and talking about Jesus, inviting people to be cured.

Green Party and Farming

As a member of the green party in Brazil I feel a little upset.
Not with my Party, of course, but with the system as a whole.
They say we are one of the largest democracies in the World. Is that so ? I don't think so.
Our party is a small party, just about a 1/4 of a million members all over the country.
However we are about to lounch a candidate to dispute the next elections for the Presidency.
We want to discuss clean agriculture, social fare trade, technology to produce more and cheaper, biocontrol of plagues, GMOs, and so on.

In a few days we will hold the largest Agriculture Exhibit in the country here in my city (Ribeirao Preto), called Agrishow.
As a member of the party I contacted the Exhibition organizers in order to have our candidate present to let the farmes and press know about our thoughts.
The answer came in a rispid tone, saying that only the Governor, and elected Deputies will have the right to talk or even to step up the stand...and that it is being organised by the Governor's (another party) cabinet.
So, when elections come, they will say, the Green Party is against farmers ! The Green Party this, that... but they never give us a time to listen what we have to say.
