Green is taking over

Is not exactly about the sharks in Wall St, home of the New York stock exchange. For many years, because my profession, I was in a permanent look out for trends, whether they were in design, marketing or just in general.

Some genius discovered long time ago that people follow trends like a honeybee following the nectar in the flowers.

Be my Queen

Matriarchal societies have been around since the early days of humanity. Even in modern times some of them are still up and running - one of them came to my attention this week.

Life Cycles

My son turned seven recently. The day before his earth birthday, I was contemplating him in the same way I did when he was a little baby.

Prophetic Dreams

I saw the movie, “Mount Fuji in Red” by Akira Kurosawa, on YouTube again. I had not seen the movie since I saw it for the first time back in 1990, when I was in college. The movie urges humankind to stop the use of nuclear power in any form.

Many Flags - One World

The recent catastrophic chain of events that happend in Japan is a strong call from Mother Earth (Pacha Mama) to guide us into a better understanding of how we treat our planet.

Unfortunately, the call created a heavy toll in human lives. (Some yoga masters refer to pain and suffering as a great teacher.)

I was obsessed with the creation of my own company. Only a very few things where so fixed in my mind, and I was on a mission.

Universal Library/Akashic Records

After I related most of my experience with the ancestors to my wife, she said, “You must have been visiting the Akashic records.”

Last fall, I got sick for several weeks (it was a bad cold). One day I fell sleep while having symptoms of fever and severe body aches.

A message from the ancestors

I’m doing this segment backwards, probably because I’m a terrible messenger.

After finding the courage to write and getting an amazing support from my wife, family and friends (also great feedback from the online community), I was able to came out with the words to describe a series of various accounts from my first yagé (ayaguasca) experience in Colombia last year in August.
