SUMMARY OF THE LAST 4 POSTINGS PLACED FROM JUNE 1st. TO JUNE 4th, 2009

A very dear friend when I asked her for input on how to make my writings more accessible or interest´s worth to many of the hurried bystanders of this life, so busily immersed in creating for themselves a comfortable niche in this world answered me to write a sort of summary or pinpoint subjects to make it easier for them to pick what they liked most.

I am extremely grateful for this advice as it shows the predominant tendency of the peoples of today. We are so busy that we cannot spend time in digesting the whole lot of digressions that could, in time, form a solid foundation for our rightful understanding of life as a whole.

We want to get at a first glance what it could be digested just that, at a glance. If we like it in less than a few seconds, probably we will extend our attention span a little bit and add more to our reading, consideration, analysis or pleasure.

If not, we can erase what we found unattractive, probably because of challenging, at a glance, with a swipe of our hand, or a click or our mouse. This way we won´t feel regrets for not getting involved in the development of our inner fabrics of thoughts and discernment.

This is the natural consequence of the incessant pounding of the publicity techniques that pervade our society today. It has robbed us our capacity for reflection and analysis. We have got so used to the external appearance and the pitch calls to react NOW! Now! NOW! Know! CALLING! Buying! GETTING! Without any real regard to usefulness, need, or capacity to buy within our real means.

We later, after buying, and trying a few times to make the acquisition work according to the promises made, become frustrated, putting the gadget aside, and getting ready for the next advertising pitch, and urgent call to keep on buying, for the benefit of the greedy manipulators, disguised as the pillars of progress and collective comfort.

But at the same time, considering always the positive side of this generational way of seeing and doing, we could make them, by chance maybe, or because the omnipresent inner spiritual nagging keeps knocking at the door of the sub-consciousness, get people involved in the wider analysis palpitating within the series of digressions presented to them.

The main objective, summarizing or not, is to allow them to consider at length, but with lesser hard experiences costs, what, as I have already stated, is, in the long term, the whole and interesting, as well as necessary, inner building up of not just an individual, but hopefully a collective fabrics of thoughts and discernment so vital for the real development of the real values of this present world.

Let´s try to pinpoint the main subjects which are the focus of this present series of blog postings.

They are, from up down below, and from the latest posting to the first, the following ones, if you start reading the next posting after this:


(1) Turning points and alternatives in life! Life can be as a Chinese checkers game.









(2) We must not despair or believe that what happens is unavoidable. What are you “a slave of”? Wake up, brother! Wake up, sister! Life is as it is!




(3) Some decisions to make are precisely if to face life, pessimistically or optimistically. Let´s define what we should understand when referring to both. And let´s understand, clearly, who we are: wayfaring strangers.







(4) We can approach life as a Christian, as mentioned above, or as a highly motivated secular individual, as it is shown below. What is required is to understand what optimism is, because the answer is flowing in the wind.



Let´s stop here for the time being. In the next series of postings I will present to you another way to face the challenges.

The one that has developed inside of my whole set of experiences, grasping of facts, perceptions, utopias and realities of my life.

The one that has become the foundation of my practicing Christianism as I have seen it growing and strengthening my whole being!
