SI!

We are all one people. American, African, Asian, European, Australian, we all are human. We can live in peace, because we all can love. Love always conquers over hate. We all are the same, and when we see that and we accept our small differences, we can live together forever.

Amor Incondicional

We all know the expression – but do we all mean the same thing when we use the words?

I am going to examine “unconditional love” from the perspective of what mischievous distractions obscure the original meaning of the expression. Then I will look at how relating to unconditional love in its pure form can empower an individual human being.

“Love” is a problematic term on its own. We use it to refer to everything from preferences (“I love chili hot dogs”) to appreciation (“I love the way you arranged those flowers”) to emotion (“I love my dog”) to commitment (“I will always love you”). We use the simple expression “I love you” to mean an apology (I know I upset you but I didn’t mean to, please forgive me), a demand (do this because I love you so you owe me), a promise (I will take care of you for the rest of your life), or a way of avoiding a promise (I love you, isn’t that enough?).

When we add “unconditional” to qualify love, we narrow the possible range of meanings considerably. If you really comprehend what constitutes a “condition”, you will find that the type of love which is truly unconditional is one with which we are not terribly familiar in our culture.

What does “conditional” mean?

Conditional – relating to conditions.

Conditions – circumstances, requirements.

So, if the presence of love relates to any particular condition (circumstance or requirement), it is not, by definition, unconditional.

The love of parents for their children and vice versa is not unconditional. It depends on the circumstance of being related by birth or adoption. Parents and children can move from conditional to unconditional love at any time (once the children reach the age of reason), but most never do.

Sexual love is not unconditional. It depends on the sexual attraction between the participants. It is possible that two people who have a sexual loving relationship may also love one another unconditionally – the test of this is whether the love would be present if the sexual relationship ended and both parties started sexual relationships with others. If this circumstance would interrupt the love, then the love is not unconditional.

The love of one’s friends is not unconditional. It depends on shared interests, mutual support, communication, and all the other things that make our friends our friends. People who share friendly love may also love one another unconditionally. If the love is unconditional, it remains present through betrayal, lies, long periods of no communication, and severe divergence of lifestyles and interests. If any of these circumstances threaten the love, then it is conditional.

Unconditional love is not personal. If you love someone for their sense of humour, personality, the way they make you feel, or any other aspect of their identity, your love is conditional. It depends on the presence of that characteristic. If the person ceased to be or have all the things that you enjoy, would the love still be present?

Here’s the real kicker – unconditional love does not come and go. It just is.

So, there exists unconditional love between all people, and in fact within the entire Universe, at all times.

So how can we say that, for example, love between parents and children is conditional? If there is always unconditional love present, wouldn’t “love” always be unconditional then?

While unconditional love always exists, we are often unaware of it. And other forms of love, conditional forms, are one of the things that can get in the way of truly experiencing it.

What gets in the way of experiencing unconditional love (as a presence) is all the distractions of a human being identity. These distractions include the seven deadly sins (anger, pride, envy, and so on), but those are relatively easy to spot. A more subtle set of distractions is all the things we think are good – like the attached love of sexual partners, friends, and relatives.

There is something daunting in surrendering the attached loves. Somehow, it seems almost unloving to let go the bonds and love those people just the way we love everyone else on the planet. It is as though we feel the attached love is loving “more”. Loving personally and specifically is “stronger” or “better” to us.

I can only offer as encouragement my observation that it is easier to truly hear and understand someone when listening from unconditional love. Attached love clouds the space with your own ego identity and its wants and needs, limiting the room for the other person to express themselves and be heard clearly. Attached love contains expectations, which cause upsets when they are not met. Upsets cause reactions, reactions cause further reactions, and before you know it the experience of unconditional love is completely obscured. You may still be having a good time, even, but it is a small, inside-the-ego-consciousness good time, not an experience of boundless, infinite, unconditional love.

In a way, it is easier to experience unconditional love with a stranger than with someone close to you. There is less pre-existing “stuff” in the space. Although we are pretty good at projecting all kinds of apprehensive thoughts into the space with a stranger, too!

In the end, unconditional love is a reflection of the whole human experience – all around all the time, yet we are attending to anything and everything else, and we just miss it. The brief moments of pure consciousness, of complete connection with the Universe, have their corresponding moments of pure connection with another human being, you-and-I-are-one consciousness.

We resist it.

We avoid it.

We fear it.

We worship it.

We seek it.

We deny its very existence.

But, fundamentally, we are it.

When you take away all circumstances, all identity, all personal characteristics, all individual ego wants and needs and desires, all that remains is that which we all have in common, that which we all are.

And that which we are is – only and always - “unconditional love”.

Porque???

A Hang [haŋ] is a harmonically tuned steel idiophone created by PANArt in Switzerland. It uses some of the same physical principles as a steelpan but with a nitrided surface[1] and structural change of having two clamped shells with a small opening so that the instrument is a Helmholtz Resonator. The creation of the Hang was the result of many years of research on the steelpan as well as the study of a diverse collection of instruments[2] from around the world such as gongs, gamelan, ghatam/udu, drums, and bells. Metallurgical and acoustic research by the makers has led to significant changes and refinement in structure, design, and process over the years since the first Hang was offered.

El cambio esta en uno mismo!

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands
Make it rain
For stars will rise again

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

In a couple of years
Tides have turned from booze to tears
And in spite of the weather
We could learn to make it together

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

The youth

Me gusto mucho la letra, pero no tanto la musica! jaja!
Constantemente cambiando, un abrazo!

The Black Swan Theory

"What we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable. I stop and summarize the triplet: rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (though not prospective) predictability. A small number of Black Swans explain almost everything in our world, from the success of ideas and religions, to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives."

The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 2007.

Mes al Revés

Let your inhibitions go
Make every touch electrical
When you're feeling beautiful
Will you remember me?

I want to touch you deep inside
And find the secrets that you hide
When your fears are cast aside
Will you remember me?

Easily forgotten love
Easily forgotten love
It's not so easily

I just want to let you know
My mind refuses to let you go
I wanna hypnotise you so
You will remember me

My easily forgotten love...

Sabroso Calor!

Aire, sabor a campo, llenan mi mente de canción,
Cielo, cerca de uno, cuando la noche llama al sol...

Visten con piedra su sabor,
Dejan que olvides el calor,
Monotonías de ciudad, tan distantes,
tan frustantes,
Tomo sorbos nuevos de esta habitación sin puertas,

Aguas tórridas caen casi tan frías como vos,
Y la arena blanca rompe la brecha verde-azul...

...como ayer, escucho al arroyo antes de soñar...

My life, You electrify my life

La Sonrisa

Es tan increible! El poder de nuestra sonrisa. De la sonrisa de cada uno. Cada una tiene su brillo particular. Si bien hay algunas un poco más impactantes que otras, eso no le quita lo lindo a las más opacas. Estan las grandotas, que ocupan toda una cara! jaja! Las sonrisas de los niños, tan puras, tan reales! Esas que van de oreja a oreja, de esa gente que le sonríe a la vida. Eso es lo que me llama. Sonreirle a la vida! Es probablemente la herramienta más sencilla que tenemos para cambiar el mundo. Una sonrisa puede mover montañas! Una sonrisa puede cambiar el curso de la historia, y la vida de miles. La paz, comienza con una sonrisa. Cito ahí a la madre Teresa de Calcuta. Una frase que realmente me llegó.

Sepamos aprovechar nuestro poder, nuestra capacidad, nuestra inteligencia, nuestro medio ambiente, a valorar a nuestra familia, a nuestros amigos. Regalemosle una sonrisa al día, al Sol! Que muchas veces nos provoca esa sonrisa de aprecio a un día lindo!

Volvamos a aprender a reir como cuando eramos niños! Y no dejemos que nuestros niños pierdan esa virtud tan única!

A Sonreir!!!

Latinoamérica unida, una sola Casa!

“Así como el aire es la atmósfera del cuerpo, así el tiempo es la atmósfera de la mente;
Si el tiempo en el que vivimos consiste en meses y días irregulares regularizados por minutos y horas mecanizadas, en eso se convierte nuestra mente:

UNA IRREGULARIDAD MECANIZADA.

Ya que todo viene de la mente, no es de extrañarse que la atmósfera en la que vivimos diariamente se vea más contaminada y la gran queja es: “no tengo suficiente tiempo”
Quien posee tu tiempo, posee tu mente. Posee tu propio tiempo y conocerás a tu propia mente”

Is this the real life? or Is this just fantasy?

Relación Relación

Que fuertes son nuestros sentimientos y emociones. Nos llevan a hacer cosas complicadas, conflictivas, hermosas, y sencillas. A veces nos juegan una mala pasada, pero no creo que nunca nos engañen. Si sentimos algo en el momento, es porque es real, y de última es la otra persona la que nos esta engañando. También puede ser una situación en la que, madurándola, podemos interpretarla mejor. Mirar desde lejos, analizar, y entender como y porqué reaccionamos de tal o cual cual manera y que sentimos y porqué.

Las relaciones hoy en día estan muy encasilladas. Decir "relación" asusta a muchos. Parece algo tan serio, que te amarra. Limitado, conceptualizado, y lastimosamente malinterpretado. Como que la palabra sólo tiene un real significado grandioso y entero cuando se habla de una relación sentimental con otra persona. Una relación sentimental. Sentimental. Nuestro sentimientos. Acaso no estan nuestro sentimientos en juego a cada momento del día? A cada minuto de nuestra vida? Lo que nos rodea nos moldea, la naturaleza, el concreto, los animales, y por sobre todo nuestra raza, los seres humanos. Todo nos transmite un sentimiento, una emoción, que se canaliza de distintas maneras, dependiendo mucho del contexto, de nuestro estado mental, nuestro ánimo, nuestra autoestima, etc, etc.

Pero me pregunto porque la gente no ve a la "relación" en mas aspectos de su vida. Intentar de ver el color de sus emociones, encontrarle la gracia al calor; si, relacionarse con el calor! jaja! (me fue inevitable nombrar eso dado el clima de nuestro pais! jajaja!), o disfrutar de la relación con uno mismo. Sí, mas de uno va a pensar que te falta alguna tuerca si les decis que la relación contigo mismo es genial. Pero porqué la gente no se anima a mirarse al espejo de verdad, ver mas allá de lo que refleja el vidrio.

Al final, vivimos relacionandonos con todo nuestro medio ambiente, todo el tiempo. Darnos un minuto a apreciar un poco mas nuestra relación con el mundo cambiaría muchas cosas. ´Si tanto nos concentramos en nuestras relaciones "sentimentales", y en que podemos hacer para que funcionen mejor y perduren en el tiempo, imagínense lo que podríamos lograr si le dieramos tan solo la mitad de esa importancia a nuestra relación con el resto de la gente, a nuestra relación con nuestros amigos, a nuestra relación con la naturaleza, o a una relación tan sencilla como la que podemos tener con nuestra mascota.

Ojala puedan entender como para alguien su mejor amigo es su mascota!

Que poder tienen nuestras emociones y nuestros sentimientos!

Tengamos relaciones verdaderas AHORA!!!
y empezemos a cambiar el mundo!

un buen dia para todos! y un abrazo... mauri.

A blast from the past!

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark"



All that you touch
and all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
and all that you love
and all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
and all that you give
and all that you deal
and all that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
and all you create
and all you destroy
and all that you do
and all that you say.
and all that you eat
And everyone you meet
and all that you slight
And everyone you fight.
and all that is now
and all that is gone
and all that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon!!!

La Cinta Blanca

Estaría bueno que LA sociedad se preocupe de la misma manera por miles de otras cosas que funcionan mal en el país. Cuando este señor aparezca, todos a sus casas, con la "misión cumplida" de que volvió entero. Pero que hay de los miles de otros problemas, por los cuales nadie pone una cinta blanca??? La cinta blanca tiene que estar todo el año! No sólo cuando a un personaje que tiene arrastre en la sociedad le secuestran. Ahora de repente a todos supuestamente les importa el prójimo, por un par de días. Pero después en que piensa el resto? Ni siquiera ahora, se acuerdan del prójimo. Se contenta con llegar a su casa, prender la tele, mirar el noticiero, y decir: pobre señor... pobre familia... está un desastre el país... y así, se repite lo mismo día tras día... Y nada realmente cambia... Típico del paraguayo conformista!

La idea no es que hayan menos ricos ni que todos seamos ricos. Pero la riqueza te aliena, más todavía en un país con tanta falta de cultura general, falta de apreciación por lo original, y discriminación a lo diferente, por ende, un país ignorante como el nuestro. Un país en donde los nuevos ricos se hacen de plata, y lo único que quieren es demostrar, importar. Para esa gente, ésta cinta blanca es un pertencer, figurar, disfrazarse de moralistas... Y termina siendo una gran farsa la cinta (no pretendo ser absolutista, tampoco no digo que todos sean así). Al final el pueblo humilde es el que realmente vive de cerca día a día los problemas sociales más importantes y graves. La mayoría de ellos no tiene una cinta blanca. De ellos, la mayoría no se acuerda. Por ellos, nadie arma una campaña internacional, con fotos, mails, calcomanías, pasacalles, marchas, etc, etc...

Ojalá que cuando le devuelvan a Fidel, la cinta blanca siga ahí. Y el movimiento que se armó, perdure. De lo contrario, va a ser una prueba mas de la falsedad, desinterés, y mentiras de la clase más adinerada.

Lo peor de todo es que (y de esto estoy muy seguro) cuando vuelva este señor, la gente adinerada solo va a gastar más plata en guardias, que en hacer algo para cambiar la situación. Se van a olvidar del resto de la gente. Encerrados en sus casas, apartados, seguros. A diferencia del 95% del resto de la población.

un abrazo, y que tengan un gran día. mauri.

You are never alone

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other!

Contacto, 1997.

Que gusto da correr bajo la lluvia!

que gusto da correr bajo la lluvia! rapido! descalzo! respirando aceleradamente, para no quedarte sin aliento! con la adrenalina y el alma de un niño! corriendo sin pensar en lo que te rodea! corriendo por correr, porque da gusto! sintiendote vivo, pizando todas las piedritas en la veredas, y en los empedrados! empapado hasta el alma, pero con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja! este tipo de diversion no tenemos que olvidar al crecer!

que gusto que da correr bajo la lluvia!

este dia gris, es una maravilla!

JOIN THE RESISTANCE: FALL IN LOVE!

Join the Resistance: Fall in Love
Falling in love is the ultimate act of revolution, of resistance to today's tedious, socially restrictive, culturally constrictive, humanly meaningless world.
Love transforms the world. Where the lover formerly felt boredom, he now feels passion. Where she once was complacent, she now is excited and compelled to self-asserting action. The world which once seemed empty and tiresome becomes filled with meaning, filled with risks and rewards, with majesty and danger. Life for the lover is a gift, an adventure with the highest possible stakes; every moment is memorable, heartbreaking in its fleeting beauty. When he falls in love, a man who once felt disoriented, alienated, and confused will know exactly what he wants. Suddenly his existence will make sense to him; suddenly it becomes valuable, even glorious and noble, to him. Burning passion is an antidote that will cure the worst cases of despair and resigned obedience.
Love makes it possible for individuals to connect to others in a meaningful way—it impels them to leave their shells and risk being honest and spontaneous together, to come to know each other in profound ways. Thus love makes it possible for them to care about each other genuinely, rather than at the end of the gun of Christian doctrine. But at the same time, it plucks the lover out of the routines of everyday life and separates her from other human beings. She will feel a million miles away from the herd of humanity, living as she is in a world entirely different from theirs.
In this sense love is subversive, because it poses a threat to the established order of our modern lives. The boring rituals of workday productivity and socialized etiquette will no longer mean anything to a man who has fallen in love, for there are more important forces guiding him than mere inertia and deference to tradition. Marketing strategies that depend upon apathy or insecurity to sell the products that keep the economy running as it does will have no effect upon him. Entertainment designed for passive consumption, which depends upon exhaustion or cynicism in the viewer, will not interest him.
There is no place for the passionate, romantic lover in today's world, business or private. For he can see that it might be more worthwhile to hitchhike to Alaska (or to sit in the park and watch the clouds sail by) with his sweetheart than to study for his calculus exam or sell real estate, and if he decides that it is, he will have the courage to do it rather than be tormented by unsatisfied longing. He knows that breaking into a cemetery and making love under the stars will make for a much more memorable night than watching television ever could. So love poses a threat to our consumer-driven economy, which depends upon consumption of (largely useless) products and the labor that this consumption necessitates to perpetuate itself.
Similarly, love poses a threat to our political system, for it is difficult to convince a man who has a lot to live for in his personal relationships to be willing to fight and die for an abstraction such as the state; for that matter, it may be difficult to convince him to even pay taxes. It poses a threat to cultures of all kinds, for when human beings are given wisdom and valor by true love they will not be held back by traditions or customs which are irrelevant to the feelings that guide them.
Love even poses a threat to our society itself. Passionate love is ignored and feared by the bourgeoisie, for it poses a great danger to the stability and pretense they covet. Love permits no lies, no falsehoods, not even any polite half-truths, but lays all emotions bare and reveals secrets which domesticated men and women cannot bear. You cannot lie with your emotional and sexual response; situations or ideas will excite or repel you whether you like it or not, whether it is polite or not, whether it is advisable or not. One cannot be a lover and a (dreadfully) responsible, (dreadfully) respectable member of today's society at the same time; for love will impel you to do things which are not "responsible" or "respectable." True love is irresponsible, irrepressible, rebellious, scornful of cowardice, dangerous to the lover and everyone around her, for it serves one master alone: the passion that makes the human heart beat faster. It disdains anything else, be it self-preservation, obedience, or shame. Love urges men and women to heroism, and to antiheroism—to indefensible acts that need no defense for the one who loves.
For the lover speaks a different moral and emotional language than the typical bourgeois man does. The average bourgeois man has no overwhelming, smoldering desires. Sadly, all he knows is the silent despair that comes of spending his life pursuing goals set for him by his family, his educators, his employers, his nation, and his culture, without ever being able to even consider what needs and wants he might have of his own. Without the burning fire of desire to guide him, he has no criteria upon which to choose what is right and wrong for himself. Consequently he is forced to adopt some dogma or doctrine to direct him through his life. There are a wide variety of moralities to choose from in the marketplace of ideas, but which morality a man buys into is immaterial so long as he chooses one because he is at a loss otherwise as to what he should do with himself and his life. How many men and women, having never realized that they had the option to choose their own destinies, wander through life in a dull haze thinking and acting in accordance with the laws that have been taught to them, merely because they no longer have any other idea of what to do? But the lover needs no prefabricated principles to direct her; her desires identify what is right and wrong for her, for her heart guides her through life. She sees beauty and meaning in the world, because her desires paint the world in these colors. She has no need for dogmas, for moral systems, for commandments and imperatives, for she knows what to do without instructions.
Thus she does indeed pose quite a threat to our society. What if everyone decided right and wrong for themselves, without any regard for conventional morality? What if everyone did whatever they wanted to, with the courage to face any consequences? What if everyone feared loveless, lifeless monotony more than they fear taking risks, more than they fear being hungry or cold or in danger? What if everyone set down their "responsibilities" and "common sense," and dared to pursue their wildest dreams, to set the stakes high and live each day as if it were the last? Think what a place the world would be! Certainly it would be different than it is now—and it is quite a truism that people from the "mainstream," the simultaneous keepers and victims of the status quo, fear change.
And so, despite the stereotyped images used in the media to sell toothpaste and honeymoon suites, genuine passionate love is discouraged in our culture. Being "carried away by your emotions" is frowned upon; instead we are raised to always be on our guard lest our hearts lead us astray. Rather than being encouraged to have the courage to face the consequences of risks taken in pursuit of our hearts' desires, we are counseled not to take risks at all, to be "responsible." And love itself is regulated. Men must not fall in love with other men, nor women with other women, nor individuals from different ethnic backgrounds with each other, or else the usual bigots who form the front-line offensive in the assault of modern Western culture upon the individual will step in. Men and women who have already entered into a legal/religious contract with each other are not to fall in love with anyone else, even if they no longer feel any passion for their marital partner. Love as most of us know it today is a carefully prescribed and preordained ritual, something that happens on Friday nights in expensive movie theaters and restaurants, something that fills the pockets of the shareholders in the entertainment industries without preventing workers from showing up to the office on time and ready to reroute phone calls all day long. This regulated, commercial "love" is nothing like the passionate, burning love that consumes the genuine lover. These restrictions, expectations, and regulations smother true love; for love is a wild flower that can never grow within the confines prepared for it but only appears where it is least expected.
We must fight against these cultural restraints that would cripple and smother our desires. For it is love that gives meaning to life, desire that makes it possible for us to make sense of our existence and find purpose in our lives. Without these, there is no way for us to determine how to live our lives, except to submit to some authority, to some god, master or doctrine that will tell us what to do and how to do it without ever giving us the satisfaction that self-determination does. So fall in love today, with men, with women, with music, with ambition, with yourself. . . with life!
One might say that it is ridiculous to implore others to fall in love—one either falls in love or one does not, it is not a choice that can be made consciously. Emotions do not follow the instructions of the rational mind. But the environment in which we must live out our lives has a great influence on our emotions, and we can make rational decisions that will affect this environment. It should be possible to work to change an environment that is hostile to love into an environment that will encourage it. Our task must be to engineer our world so that it is a world in which people can and do fall in love, and thus to reconstitute human beings so that we will be ready for the "revolution" spoken of in these pages—so that we will be able to find meaning and happiness in our lives.
What if everyone decided right and wrong for themselves, without any regard for conventional morality? What if everyone did whatever they wanted to, with the courage to face any consequences? What if everyone feared loveless, lifeless monotony more than they fear taking risks, more than they fear being hungry or cold or in danger? What if everyone set down their "responsibilities" and "common sense," and dared to pursue their wildest dreams, to set the stakes high and live each day as if it were the last? Think what a place the world would be!
