NEGROS não são descendentes de escravos como dizem os livros escolares... Eles são descendentes de civilizações africanas, reinos poderosos e povos fortes. Eles descendem de reis e rainhas, príncipes e princesas, são da linhagem de pessoas que desenvolveram a escrita, a astrologia, as ciências, daqueles que construíram as pirâmides...
Eles são frutos de um povo que desenvolveu as técnicas agrícolas e dominam a medicina primitiva...
Eles são frutos de um povo que conhecem os benefícios das plantas e sabem como ninguém tirar delas o poder da cura, da vida saudável...
Acorda Brasil...
BLACK
people are not descendants of slaves as school books say ... They are
descendants of African civilizations, powerful kingdoms and strong
peoples. They are descended from kings and queens, princes and
princesses, they are of the lineage of people who developed writing,
astrology, science, those who built the pyramids...
They are the fruit
of a people who developed agricultural techniques and dominate primitive
medicine...
They are the fruit of a people who know the benefits of
plants and know how no one can take from them the power of healing, of
healthy life...
Wake up Brazil...
Via Daily Dharma: Opportunities for Reconstruction
We
are in a time of deconstruction. But we also have to remember that
every deconstruction is an opportunity for reconstruction. We must ask
ourselves, what is it we want to reconstruct and how do we go about it?

The root of fear is the feeling of separateness that can exist within oneself. The root of fear is within the model one has of oneself. That’s where fear starts. Once that feeling of separation exists, then you process everything from either inside or outside in terms of that model. Then it keeps reinforcing the feeling of vulnerability, because there are incredibly powerful forces moving both inside and outside of you.
The transformative process of spiritual work is reawakening to the innocence of going behind that model of separation that one has, that cuts you off, that made you a tiny little fragile somebody. A lot of the power comes from a freeing of our own fragility."
