&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 446px; height: 227px" src="http://lightworkers.org/pic/earthhands6is.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="227" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lightworkers.org/pic/earthhands6is.jpg"&gt;image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Originally posted May 2009&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p&gt;My first reason to join Gaia was to create a Light network... and to find other beings like me, in search of spreading Light, Love and Peace... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why am I writing this blog? Because I do not feel yet that we are reaching our purpose... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My feeling is that we have a chance to break the so called fear conspiracy and evil control, that is spread through the news and other unfortunate mass communications... and not by reacting, just by shifting our attention... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For who are passionate about physics, we know there are multiple universes and multiple time-lines... I actually believe in this and love to search and read about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am gifted to see through time... since I was a child... I can see it through dreams; I can see it with open eyes... I do not know if my spirit is just traveling during my sleep inside of an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_records"&gt;Akashic&lt;/a&gt; dimension, but I feel the time is overlapping... also that the time-line is changing... We have multiple options and we create the future right now... If we let the fears to take over we will end up being the pray... if we raise the frequency we might provoke the shift in energy which will save life on Earth and maybe not only... Being interconnected forms of life within a living Universe, of course that we save also all the life forms we are interconnected with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of us &amp;nbsp;might have assisted during Atlantis... some of us might notice that we live at a similar technology level like then... some of us might know that life has cycles... and everything might be just a little game in a billion of other games played by our souls in search of new experiences...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life we live right now is written in duality terms... black and white, day and night, good or bad...&amp;nbsp; accepting duality, we accept fear... make a choice and pick what we need for evolution... and I ask you in the name of your children...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was talking with my friend about eating habits and how these can help us survive in any environment... with examples from my own body... and she told me that we are different and if I do not eat meat, other people have to eat meat... I am not telling anyone what to eat... I just ask to use your kindness when you eat... harm less...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many theories on the Internet about the last&amp;amp;future events which might scare anyone, just by reading... I do not say not to read, I hope we take what we need from that information... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know who I am and why I was born during these times, even sometimes I wonder&amp;nbsp;why I had to do it...&amp;nbsp;It hurts... but there are 2 options... or call them time-lines... one of fear and autodestruction (with viruses, Nibiru, 2012, etc) or one of Light beings, helping&amp;nbsp;in building a new future for children of Earth... It is our choice, we create the time, we create the future and we pick the options...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I wish for the time-line with kindness and where children will have the chance to live on a planet of Love and Health and Joy... I wish for the future... and if there are multiple dimensions,&amp;nbsp;I wish all choices to be in Light... I wish for a network of Light...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoever you are, reading these words, take a moment after reading and send Light from your Heart to the World... This will make a difference...

      <description>


&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First it was a couple of weeks ago, I was driving and were 2 big black birds near the car... I thought originally they were hawks... Today I stopped the car and took a picture... they were 4 this time... Why do I keep meeting them? I have never ever seen them before around me. Yes, seen them in the sky but not around me... What is the message?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 446px; height: 194px" src="http://webspace.webring.com/people/rm/maat_guides_me_2_u/maat.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="194" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/rm/maat_guides_me_2_u/maat.jpg"&gt;image&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The Vulture has a rich mythological history around the world. The one common denominator in all the cultural Vulture myths is that it was not detested as it is on our modern world. It was revered as a purifier and life giver. People thought it was amazing that a creature could take in only death and from it produce life in the form of an egg. It was an amazing symbol of rebirth. In Egypt, the order goddess Maat was said to have the wings of a Vulture. The Greeks saw the vulture as a creature associated with Ares, but also with Prometheus and Zeus. The original creature that ate Prometheus&amp;#39; liver every day on orders from Zeus is said to be a Vulture, not an eagle. The Greeks also saw the vulture as being a descendant of the Griffin. It is hinted that Neith (Athena) was also associated with the vulture. The Native Americans saw the Vulture as a symbol of purification. Vulture feathers were used in work in grounding and in shape shifting to ensure that the Shaman would return to his own body. My favorite Vulture myth is a Native American one. It seems the sun was up to his old tricks again and was too close to earth. As a result it was too hot and people were getting a wicked tan. So the fox volunteered to put the sun back into the sky. He carried it a while in his mouth but dropped it when it got too hot. That&amp;#39;s why the Foxes mouth is black. Then the opossum volunteered and wrapped it in its tail and carried it until it was too hot. You guessed it, that&amp;#39;s why the opossum&amp;#39;s tail is black. Then the Vulture volunteered and even though it got too hot and even though it burned all the beautiful feathers off its head, the Vulture persisted and saved the world from the sun. It is this type of selflessness that I think best reflects the Vulture totem. In Arabic, the word Vega means Vulture, which indicates that the constellation Lyra was originally thought of as a Vulture. On first look you might think the Vulture associated with Chaos and Wisdom for its death and vermin aspects. But when you look further, you can see that a Vulture doesn&amp;#39;t kill and isn&amp;#39;t even present at the moment of death. They are simply converting death into life. And a Vulture doesn&amp;#39;t spread disease, it prevents it. It restores order from chaos and brings life from death. To me, the more logical archetypes to associate with the Vulture are Inspiration and Order. The ancients tend to agree with goddesses like Maat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our present society is a shallow one and as such, I can see a person with a Vulture Totem being a bit despised much like the Vulture is. This doesn&amp;#39;t mean that they are physically ugly by our standards, just that they don&amp;#39;t fit in with the rest of the culture. This would likely not bother a Vulture Totem in the slightest, but it would be the truth regardless. They know that they are different, but they keep on being themselves regardless of society&amp;#39;s impressions of them. Vulture Totems are people that pour themselves into the healing and protection of other people and the environment. They will be champions of efficient energy use, and will be able to think outside the box to attain this. Think on the Vulture being able to see thermal currents and this is apparent. These will be people that give and share selflessly without a care of that being returned. As a result, optimal careers for Vulture Totems can include Doctors, Nurses, Scientists, Environmental engineers, etc. You can see the doctors, especially surgeons. A surgeon digs into a body to bring about healing from disease or decay. A Vulture does pretty much the same thing. You can see scientists especially chemists working for a disease control agency. That sort of thing. The Vulture Totem will foster very close friendships and romantic relationships. After a friend or romantic interest gets over the societal weirdness about the vulture, they will see its inner beauty. From this moment on, the Vulture Totem is loyal and very selfless in its giving to those that are close to it. They will tend to form monogamous relationships and cling to a partner quickly. This sort of style is not for everyone. The Vulture Totem is the sort that would not hurt a fly, yet strive to protect everyone they can. These are the sort of individuals that we need more of in the world. &amp;quot; &lt;a href="http://www.spiracanada.com/ravendreamer/totems/turkeyvulture.htm"&gt;RavenDreamer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;quot;Death and Rebirth &lt;br /&gt;New Vision &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Vulture is the symbol of death and rebirth, &lt;br /&gt;the mother symbol, &lt;br /&gt;and represents purification.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;For those with this totem, &lt;br /&gt;you will be noticed more for what you do than &lt;br /&gt;how you appear.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Vulture or Condor&lt;br /&gt;teaches us how to soar above our limitations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;It is linked to the Griffin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;This Totem is a permanent totem; once it enters your life &lt;br /&gt;it will be with you always, through your numerous lifetimes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;You may start to see auras and colors around people; &lt;br /&gt;Vulture can help teach you how to accomplish this through patience and vision.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Vultures teach you how to soar without using much energy, &lt;br /&gt;how to ride the thermal winds instead of flapping.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Go with the flow.&amp;nbsp; Use your own energy powerfully and efficiently.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Vulture is associated with the sense of smell and aromatherapy is a good tool &lt;br /&gt;to use to connect with this Totem.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Vulture promises us that no matter how difficult things are at the moment, &lt;br /&gt;rescue and change are imminent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Soar above the drudgeries of every day life through spirit.&lt;br /&gt;And Vulture/Condor is there to protect you in this journey.&amp;quot; &lt;a href="http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/vulture.htm"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p&gt;This photo was taken during a wonderful afternoon in Greece... &amp;nbsp;A day when there was no global warming in my world and I did not know that the word &amp;quot;environment friendly&amp;quot; will become a marketing label...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Human race is acting like a locust on Earth, that is true, but they do not know better... They will learn in time, this cycle or the next cycle or another cycle... Is difficult to learn respect in a world without respect... Is difficult to learn love in a world without love... Human kind will evolve with small steps... Maybe this cycle we will learn to respect all forms of life... Maybe the next cycle will learn how to use green energy... This is not the first time at the edge of auto destruction... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead blaming around we better learn how to plant our own vegetables, help our neighbors or even our families, and protect any forms of life around us...&lt;strong&gt; &lt;u&gt;Human race has a great potential and has to understand that... and believe it...&lt;/u&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earth, if we stop polluting it, will regenerate... Similar to our bodies... Similar to the Universe... Because we are all connected...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are energy, and is all about energy and what we project into our global consciousness... Because of that the only thing I have to say and was already said millions of time is:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;quot;Be the change you want to see in the world&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mkgandhi.org/"&gt;Mahatma Gandhi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="www.blogactionday.org"&gt;Blog Action Day 10/15/09&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A few days ago, a mysterious cloud shaped like a halo appeared over Moscow, and the buzz has yet to break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;re the first to admit that a photograph of the &lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2677449/Mystery-UFO-halo-in-clouds-over-Moscow.html?OTC-RSS&amp;amp;ATTR=News"&gt;heavenly cloud&lt;/a&gt; appears to be photoshopped. It&amp;#39;s just so...perfect. But meterologists have spoken up and said the cloud wasn&amp;#39;t digitally altered. However, it wasn&amp;#39;t exactly what it appeared to be, either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the cloud initially formed, some &lt;a href="http://bigpondnews.com/articles/OddSpot/2009/10/13/Halo_cloud_stuns_UFO_analysts_382284.html"&gt;UFO enthusiasts&lt;/a&gt; declared it to be a &amp;quot;true mystery.&amp;quot; Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie &amp;quot;Independence Day.&amp;quot; Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1219425/Pictured-The-luminous-halo-shaped-cloud-captured-hovering-Moscow.html?ITO=1490"&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; explains that the &amp;quot;luminous ring-shaped cloud&amp;quot; was simply an optical effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An official spokesperson for Moscow&amp;#39;s weather department said, &amp;quot;Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west - this is how the effect was produced.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cloud&amp;nbsp;loomed last week, but the searches are still soaring. Lookups on &amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?ei=UTF-8&amp;amp;c=&amp;amp;p=halo+cloud"&gt;halo cloud&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?ei=UTF-8&amp;amp;c=&amp;amp;p=moscow+cloud"&gt;moscow cloud&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; are both booming, and a video clip has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.

&lt;p&gt;Transcript from BBC NEWS South Asia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8299780.stm"&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8299780.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Tour of the school set up by 16-year-old Babar Ali&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Around the world millions of children are not getting a proper education because their families are too poor to afford to send them to school. In India, one schoolboy is trying to change that. In the first report in the BBC&amp;#39;s Hunger to Learn series, Damian Grammaticas meets Babar Ali, whose remarkable education project is transforming the lives of hundreds of poor children.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 16 years old, Babar Ali must be the youngest headmaster in the world. He&amp;#39;s a teenager who is in charge of teaching hundreds of students in his family&amp;#39;s backyard, where he runs classes for poor children from his village. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The story of this young man from Murshidabad in West Bengal is a remarkable tale of the desire to learn amid the direst poverty. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="226" align="right"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46536000/jpg/_46536176_pupils_226.jpg" border="0" alt="Babar Ali's students" width="226" height="170" /&gt; Babar Ali&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;school&amp;#39; has some 800 students&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;Babar Ali&amp;#39;s day starts early. He wakes, pitches in with the household chores, then jumps on an auto-rickshaw which takes him part of the 10km (six mile) ride to the Raj Govinda school. The last couple of kilometres he has to walk. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The school is the best in this part of West Bengal. There are hundreds of students, boys and girls. The classrooms are neat, if bare. But there are desks, chairs, a blackboard, and the teachers are all dedicated and well-qualified. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the class 12 roll-call is taken, Babar Ali is seated in the middle in the front row. He&amp;#39;s a tall, slim, gangly teenager, studious and smart in his blue and white uniform. He takes his notes carefully. He is the model student. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Babar Ali is the first member of his family ever to get a proper education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://starchild77.gaia.com/blog/Optional%20Link%20URL"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s not easy for me to come to school because I live so far away,&amp;quot; he says, &amp;quot;but the teachers are good and I love learning. And my parents believe I must get the best education possible that&amp;#39;s why I am here.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;for more read &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8299780.stm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Fields of the mind - Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morphic fields underlie our mental activity and our perceptions, and lead to a new theory of vision, as discussed in &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/books/index.html#staring"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;THE SENSE OF BEING STARED AT. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The existence of these fields is experimentally testable through the sense of being stared at itself. There is already much evidence that this sense really exists &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/papers/Staring/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can take part in a staring experiment yourself through this web site. &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/experiments/staring/exp/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The morphic fields of social groups connect together members of the group even when they are many miles apart, and provide channels of communication through which organisms can stay in touch at a distance. They help provide an explanation for telepathy. There is now good evidence that many species of animals are telepathic, and telepathy seems to be a normal means of animal communication, as discussed in my book &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/books/index.html#dogs"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DOGS THAT KNOW WHEN THEIR OWNERS ARE COMING HOME&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Telepathy is normal not paranormal, natural not supernatural, and is also common between people, especially people who know each other well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the modern world, the commonest kind of human telepathy occurs in connection with telephone calls. More than 80% of the population say they have though of someone for no apparent reason, who then called; or that they have known who was calling before picking up the phone in a way that seems telepathic. Controlled experiments on telephone telepathy have given repeatable positive results that are highly significant statistically, as summarized in &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/books/index.html#staring"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;THE SENSE OF BEING STARED AT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and described in detailed technical papers which you can read on this web site. &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/papers/Telepathy/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Telepathy also occurs in connection with emails, and anyone who is interested can now test how telepathic they are in the online telepathy test. &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/experiments/oltnew/start.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The morphic fields of mental activity are not confined to the insides of our heads. They extend far beyond our brain though intention and attention. We are already familiar with the idea of fields extending beyond the material objects in which they are rooted: for example magnetic fields extend beyond the surfaces of magnets; the earth&amp;#39;s gravitational field extends far beyond the surface of the earth, keeping the moon in its orbit; and the fields of a cell phone stretch out far beyond the phone itself. Likewise the fields of our minds extend far beyond our brains. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more read &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/papers/Morphic/morphic_intro.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/About/biography/"&gt;Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE ONLINE TELEPATHY EXPERIMENT - read &lt;a href="http://www.sheldrake.org/experiments/oltnew/start.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>


&lt;p&gt;All we know what the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum"&gt;Foucault&amp;#39;s Pendulum&lt;/a&gt; is... I would love to read again the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault's_Pendulum"&gt;novel&lt;/a&gt;, after 20 years with this mind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all starts with time and Earth... lately I feel a need to memorize everything in our culture... and when i mean culture,&amp;nbsp;am referring to Earth... We are so divided by borders, so called cultural differences, skin colors... but we have just one big heart, having the same beat all over again... And probably when we will feel that what is going through our blood stream is going through Earth&amp;#39;s blood stream... when we will feel the heart pulse of our Mother Earth, things will start to change... Hold the hope we still have time to assimilate that and start the change... There is no date, there is no hour, it will happen when we will be ready... for some is happening right now, during this moment, but we are all changing, at our own pace...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memorizing history and comparing our own evolution&amp;nbsp;in time... interesting enough that the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army"&gt;Terra Cotta Warriors&lt;/a&gt; came&amp;nbsp;to town so&amp;nbsp;I said &amp;quot;Have to see this one&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exhibition consists in few statues&amp;nbsp;that you are not allowed to take pictures of due to copyright issues, which I understand, but you are can have photos with some copies of the statues, which I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:277px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530092/large/w3.jpg" height="479" width="277" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;w3&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141191" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The history might be cruel and repeating sometimes... the fact that workers were killed after the job was done, the fact that they used whips to make them work, did not make me feel comfortable... Yes, the statues after 2000 years&amp;nbsp;are great to study and understand an ancient culture, but is sad that the message they come with&amp;nbsp;in time&amp;nbsp;is still cruelty... We can learn from history what not to do... I do not understand the concept of suffering and cruelty in evolution, sorry...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next step was the crystals area which was really beautiful... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:428px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530094/large/crystal1.jpg" height="500" width="428" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;crystal1&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141192" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;I find always museums contradictory maybe because our nature is contradictory...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next step was the past and the future... :))) the dinosaurs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530095/large/dinno_vegetarian.jpg" height="436" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;dino vegetarian&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141193" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;This scene&amp;nbsp;is amazing, the big guy is a vegetarian being under attack... the little carnivores guys...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our planet is all about survival... but walking today through history I realized that we can not touch a crystal as spirits, we can not smile at a child&amp;#39;s reaction seeing a huge crystal rock, we can not play with little animals, we can not smell flowers, we can not touch and love a lover... we need a form and a shape for that, to play in this big game, but we do not have to forget our essence...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So finally I got to my butterflies... I love butterflies, I imagine them living in their own world, huge beautiful butterflies with all the possible and impossible colors painted on their wings... sitting on humongous flowers under a beautiful blue sky and several suns... This is how&amp;nbsp;I see them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:380px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530098/large/b2.jpg" height="500" width="380" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;b2&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141194" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;Butterflies are so fragile, they live for few days, if we take our time as a reference for their lives... Walking through the beautiful place between them I arrived to the windows where I felt the need to fly outside in the sun... and looking around I understood why&amp;nbsp;I had that feeling...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530099/large/b8.jpg" height="380" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;b8&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141195" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530100/large/b7.jpg" height="380" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;b7&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141196" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;My friend kept telling me that I do not have to start saving the butterfiles by taking them out... and not give them a speech like I&amp;#39;ve done last time with the parrots in a store cage... because they will not survive outside... and the only answer I had was that fear will keep us comfortable but not evolving to the stars... and decided to leave the place... but I met&amp;nbsp;Mister Iguana... so had to&amp;nbsp;make another stop...&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530101/large/iguana.jpg" height="380" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;iguana&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141197" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;nbsp;beautiful being, trapped again in a cage, too small for him... but got assured that his space will grow soon and that he has one hour per day, in the mornings, free outside his cage... being vegetarian he is not a danger for the butterflies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530103/large/cage.jpg" height="380" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;cage&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141198" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;Clearly I do not understand captivity ... and I think that we have to teach children that animals in Zoos and cages&amp;nbsp;are not something natural and they should be freed... Children should not grow loving animals in cages... they should respect birds in the sky, iguanas in the forest, and the butterflies free in the green fields or in our beautiful flower gardens...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mister Iguana got very happy when food arrived (lots of broccoli and carrots), he was acting happy making noises from the throat area and moving a little bit... He got back to the statue position after... I wanted to take a picture from the front side but he looked to me deep, like saying &amp;quot;leave me alone&amp;quot;... so i said &amp;quot;I am sorry&amp;quot; and left him...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Left the place through a small&amp;nbsp;waterfall area... &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:448px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/54/530108/large/rain_forest.jpg" height="380" width="448" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;rain forest&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_141199" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;Felt like I was an unusual appearance for the whole place and needed to disappear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May all beings be in peace...&lt;br id="ze_clear_asset_286212" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
