seeing the world through another's eyes

The twins Krista and Tatiana, age 4, have different bodies but share the same brain. And for the surprise of doctors around the world, the girls can see through the eyes of one another and hear the thoughts the same way. This is because part of the brain that sends the physical sensations and motor is the same for both. Since the girls were born conjoined they’ve been receiving medical care. According to the pediatric neurosurgeon that takes care of them, Doug Cochrane, a mate can see what the other sees by receiving the electronic impulses from the retina of the opposite twin.
Last week, during the participation in training, the theme of the meeting was exactly this: Learn to see the world through the eyes of another person. I confess that this is a very, very difficult exercise: put on another one skin…I can say this because I have sought to exercise it whenever I am faced with conflicting situations that requires action; choosing a side.

It is not easy, because we have to take off any remnants of selfishness, putting ourselves in another's place is also a commitment. It is easier to judge, to give our opinion, without, however, even try to understand the reason of the other person. Only thus will you be able to understand and help, whether for love, friendship, respect, solidarity, regardless of the feeling we cherish to each other.
I think that whenever we try to understand the attitudes of others, why certain behaviors, we are faced with another universe. Everybody brings experiences in which make people special and unique. Ours not judge, but understanding will help whenever is possible. Often acting this way, we understand that deep inside we were the ones who needed to change and not otherwise.

Sometimes our hearing without giving any piece of advice helps much more than trying to solve someone else’s problems. Sometimes looking with another’s eyes simply makes us understand that the universe that is represented by someone else is much more complex than we thought.
We live in a world where we should care for each other, where each one of us should be a link to steadily strengthen these experiences, forming a large current. However, we’ve been living quite the opposite (or at least the vast majority) as if each one were self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone for anything.

It looks like a photographic image. It means, to me, I’m looking at it through the eyes of the one who captured it. Interfering in this same image is a way of revealing that I see it too, but with my own eyes, by my own way…

 In this project, we were supposed to see through the eyes of a person who used a wheelchair. how many problems would be faced and how we could improve the life stile of this person by adding attachments in the chair. 

Life has just begun!

I just completed forty years!
Wow, it seems like yesterday that I did eighteen ,and how long it took me to get eighteen ... how much anxiety!

When I was said that time would pass so fast, it never crossed my mind that everything would happen at that speed!
I must thank God for everything I have achieved! My health, husband, wonderful family, healthy daughter, caring loyal friends…
Above all, I’m grateful for the "balance conquered in harsh penalties", for being able to take decisions, setting goals and pursuing them with determination! Everything has been worth it so far!
My experiences, both good and limited leaders I've had (I’ve learned with them all!)
All the passages of my life are important and each one with its particular attention to the proper cleavage!
Some other day while going to a hotel and having to fill out the hosting job in the field, I came across the following comment:
They wanted to know who I am or what I've been doing differently for society. Then I had the absolute certainty of the magnitude and the size of my mission!
It can not be coincidence that I've embraced this cause!
No, it can not be coincidence so many friends and so many things I have done and heard...

John Lennon wrote and recorded "at home", at forty years, the song that inspired this article: "Life Begins at 40". He did not have time to write it in the studio because some months after completing forty years, he was shot in New York. The letter says something like:

"They say life begins at forty

Age is only a state of mind

If all this is true

So, I've been dead for thirty-nine ... "

That was John Lennon!
A little sarcastic, a little "seer" with humor and sensitivity!
In my view, Lennon meant he was ready and energized by the first forty years to forget and start all over again just like (“Starting Over"), the song that opened the album back in 1980!
Lennon showed a strong engagement in his previous forty years!
I need not and must not forget my early forties, but that's how I feel: Ready, steady and determined to follow my mission!
Transforming and improving the lives of human beings is my purpose!

Generating professional and personal reflections, I'm prepared for action and even for reaction .That's what moves me!
…Until the Father of Heaven wants to. I’ll do it with pure, genuine and intense energy!
May God bless us all!

And there goes humanity…

The universe and nature have a history. Since long ago, humanity studies the mysteries of the sky. Even before there were such modern telescopes and other devices that help astronomers today, the ancient people have turned their gaze to the stars.
Have you heard of the constellation "Orion" or the constellation Canis Major? Constellation names are associated with myths, legends and customs of society.
Like the rivers, mountains, forests tell their history, it is our task to learn how to listen and interpret the messages that is sent to us.
The Southern Cross is a constellation that was very important in a time of great voyages in the 16th century, having the shape of a cross it can be seen only in the Southern Hemisphere, mariners could be located through it. Despite being the smallest of the constellations that can be seen from Earth, the Southern Cross had a huge importance in the history of navigation.
We unlearn all that. With the use of science we read the history recorded in layers of each being. But that knowledge did not come into school curricula or turned into general culture. It has turned into technique to dominate nature and accumulate.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau contributed to changing the superstitious and hostile vision that many had of Nature. His was the fashion to practice broad walkings around woodlands and forests in search of plants, that were ranked carefully in his herbarium, which is today at the Museum Carnavelet in Paris. Those walking exercises were always accompanied by philosophical musings, methodically recorded when each walk ended. After his death, these notes were published by the romantic title of “Les reveries du promeneur solitaire” (The reveries of a solitary walker), appeared with overwhelming success in 1782. The goal of those travels was to get purified. In Rousseau’s philosophy, nature provided a balm for us to exorcise the hypocritical life that we were forced to live in society.


1782-2011


Unravel the secrets, thunder and lightning are no longer considered as a punishment from the Gods, we know they are natural phenomena. Nobody has time to hear the wind, listening to the ground, looking at the clouds anymore. We purify our vanities in luxurious baths with bagged smelling herbs, taken from what have remained from forests.
Indeed, the hypocrisy now enters the forest and gets lost in the woods. It is said that the stars were moved around or hidden by the pollution generated in large cities. We aimlessly go in circles.
I wonder why we need dominating. Get knowledge to dominate. We are not trying to interact with nature; we get evolved to take advantage of it mercilessly. We can not devote our time to life, but we use every minute to master time. 24 hours is not enough for us to do everything we want, because we always want more.
Mankind is part of nature, balance generates peace, fulfillment.

Watch the eagles, they interact with the wind, get carried away by it. While the poor chickens flap their wings desperately and only reach a few meters.
Only when do we learn to harmonize ourselves with nature rather than dominate it, we will evolve.
