The practice that I do the most is everyday to reassure myself that since I'm an extension of God, I can do the same things God does, and be grateful for it.

Last Friday, I was helped by a stranger, when I got a flat tire. It was totally unexpected and I was so grateful it made me think about a lot of stuff.
Today I've been interiorizing about many things, of which some that have come up to mind are:
- What have I done in this life span that has been part of the purpose I'm here?
- Do I feel that I've created a difference in the people I've met in this life span?
- Will I ever feel fulfilled regardless of what I accomplish in this life span?

If you feel lost trying to answer these questions don't! I humbly tell you that:
- Whatever you're doing, you're doing it great! Keep on doing it.
- Keep bringing smiles and joy to the people around you, be happy and your happiness will bring joy to others.
- There is no such thing as accomplishments, they're all a point of view. Small things will fulfill your big heart. You don't have to climb a mountain or donate 1 million dollars to accomplish something. It's a state of mind, a state of "feeling" it.

By knowing this, you're being better all the time, you're accomplishing many things.
Love to you all.

Imagine that you are about to participate in an interactive role-playing game. There are rules in this game that everyone agrees to: what goes up must come down, day is followed by night, if you touch a flame it will burn you, etc. You get to choose the character you play beforehand; shall I be black or white, Australian or Chinese, male or female?

You might even choose to meet up with others in the game, which is tricky because you won’t necessarily remember them when you see them. To enter the game, you must be “born” and become completely helpless. You must forget everything you know and start all over again. You are given sets of rules by the “older” players that you learn as you go along. After a given time, you are declared an “adult” by the other players and are sent out on your own.

The thing is, you become so involved in this character that you are playing in this game, that you forget who you really are. Then you forget that you’re even in a game, and you think the game is all there is. Now, you still get to decide everything that happens to this character, which you do constantly, but as a player you think everything is happening by “chance” or “fate”.
When the character you play goes to sleep, you return to your real self. This is when you get the chance to plan ahead and manifest his/her desires and wishes; the character later wakes up and thinks he/she was “dreaming”.

Some players, realizing that there has to be more than just this game will start searching for answers. Some conclude that someone must have invented this game, and probably all the players in it. They begin to worship this mysterious “someone” who obviously must be much smarter than they are, and invent more rules that they insist were made by the original gamec reator.

The only way to leave this game is called dying. You remember who you really are and you meet up with your other friends - some of whom were in the game with you, some who were involved with other games - and share your experiences. The game, you conclude was fun, adventurous and a great learning experience and you decide you’d like to play again; this time in a different setting.

My habits :(
I would say it's harder for me to change the patterns I have embedded in me, rather than the reality around me.

IMHO one of them is part of the reality and truth you create, the other one is not.
Let me explain myself:
If you "want" something you're saying/expressing you don't have it, therefore you're pushing it away of your truth/reality. In this scenario, you should set your mind to "having" and not "wanting".
On the other hand, having the "need" for something doesn't necessarily mean that you lack of it, you just "need" it, maybe to obtain what you "want".
My 2 cents :)
Love you all.

Hello Gaia Community,

Wishing you the best in this new week. Keep your heads up and never let anyone get you down with what you want to accomplish.
This week I'll start reading Jane Roberts' book "How to Develop Your ESP Power". In case anybody has a recommendation for me, it's entirely welcome.
My main motive and purpose of starting to do this, is to start walking on a path to explore my inner-self, and then be able to control the reality around me in a more precise manner.
i've been able to manipulate certain details in my life, now it's time to master them, and then help others by teaching them how to do it.
I'll keep you posted on my advancements.
Love to you all!
Namaste,

Ramon

There is so much competition!!!! :)
For now I would say that it is to spend time with my 1 year-old daughter. After that it would be trying to create initiatives that will make a difference in this world.
Love to all.

I've seen my beautiful 1-year old daughter smile back at me.

Join my Charity Race in:

http://onemillionfollowers.org

The main purpose of this project is to create awareness and help families that are not as privileged as us.The idea is that in Twitter (http://twitter.com/rsilva) I get at least 1 million followers (1 million people that will be aware!!!!), and as soon as I reach the 1 million mark, I will "Adopt a Family".
This is a charity program in Costa Rica that involves helping a poor family out with food, gifts for X-mas, clothing, among other things.
Love always,

Ramon

Hello everybody, my name is Ramon and due to the insipiration of watching @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) and @cnnbrk (CNN) race to the 1 million mark of followers in Twitter, I’ve decided to get into the race with some meaning to it other than just reaching the million mark, but to promote charity.

http://onemillionfollowers.org/blog

The idea is this: once I reach the 1 million followers in Twitter, I will be “Adopting a Family” which is a charity program in Costa Rica that involves helping a poor family out with food, gifts for X-mas, clothing, among other things. It’s all about making them feel human just like you and me which are privileged.
