Black Panther

The panther symbolizes power and aggressive energy. It possesses grace and swiftness of motion and are also able to be completely still in an instant. Panther can teach you the power of silence when pursuing something that is important to you.

Panther is swift and graceful. This can teach you how to meet deadlines effectively.

Like all the cat totems, panthers have great depth of vision. Each eye is capable of working separately. This teaches focus and wide vision for various life situations.

-Sensitivity and inner vision
-Valor and ferocity
-Personal Power
-Swiftness and graceful motion

The panther animal totem is a very powerful and protective presence. If you have this creature as your totem, you are blessed to have such a fierce and aggressive guardian with you.

The panther is a symbol of courage, valor and power. The panther has also sometimes associated with the sun, and solar vibrancy in some cultures (South American, & Central American).

Individuals with panther totem s are usually people who come into this world with a spiritual knowing - a deeper understanding of spiritual things. These people often are very intuitive, psychic, and many are artistically inclined.

Of all the panthers, the black panther has the greatest mysticism associated with it. It is a symbol of the mother, the dark moon and the power of the night. The black panther encourages us to understand the shadow powers available to us all, to acknowledge these powers and to eliminate our fears of the darkness.

When the black panther totem appears in your life, it is also a symbol of releasing your passions, and starting a new phase of your life. A phase in which you are discovering your desires, and living your dreams.

The panther animal totem asks us these questions:

-What is my Shadow Self trying to tell me?
-Are my passions helping or hindering me at this time?
-Am I still on the right spiritual path for myself?
-Am I supressing latent desires?
-Am I putting others' needs before my own to the point of self-neglect?
-Am I being mindful of my movements - both physical and emotional?
-Am I being defensive? Who or what am I protecting and why?

Fais-moi la tendresse de Ginette Reno

On s’est quitté sans être quitte
Je n’ai pas eu le temps d’y penser
Un peu trop tôt un peu trop vite,
Le temps passé nous est passé
Toi qui connais de moi l’émoi
Des ces instants où tout bascule
Retiens moi encore dans tes bras
Sans passion et sans ridicule
{Refrain}
Fais-moi la tendresse
L’amour sans chagrin
Des mots sans promesses
Fais-moi la tendresse
Toi qui te souviens de toutes mes faiblesses
Fais-mois moi la tendresse la main dans la main
Oublie les caresses
Fais-moi la tendresse
Aujourd’hui, demain à la même adresse
Je t’ai voulu, tu m’as voulue
Mais le destin n’en voulait pas
Comme ma chanson mal entendue
Malheur à celui qui s’en va J’ai fait ma vie de mon côté
J’ai réussi sans réussir
On ne sait plus par où commencer
Quand on a mille chose à se dire
{Refrain}
Fais-moi la tendresse
Si tu m’aimes encore un peu de désir
Fais-moi la tendresse,
Maintenant que nos corps n’ont plus de plaisir

What I've Done - Linkin Park


In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've Drawn regret
From the truth
Of thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
For what I've done
I'll starter again
And what ever thing
May come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done

Dragonfly



The power of Dragonfly lies in its ability to see around things by looking from different angles. Using its ability to transform colors and lights by reflecting and refracting them, Dragonfly shows us that life, like light, can bend, shift, and adapt in various ways, making life's appearance never be what it appears to be. Dragonfly's magic shows us to see through life's illusions and find our true vision. It calls us to transform within our lives and reminds us to feel deeply so we will have the compassion necessary to help ourselves and others.

Rusted from the Rain - Billy Talent

Stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There's nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors, I don't look the same
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain

Dissect me till my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I'm nothing but a tin man, don't feel any pain
I don't feel any pain,
I don't feel any pain,
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on...crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
C'mon...Strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if...I'm the king of cowards you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain
You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be your lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay,
Left here to decay, left here to decay,
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on...crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
C'mon...Strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if...I'm the king of cowards you're the queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the Rain
Go on...crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
C'mon...Strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if...I'm the king of cowards you're the queen of pain I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain

Go on...crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
C'mon...Strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if...I'm the king of cowards you're the queen of pain I'm rusted from the rain,
I'm rusted from the rain, oh the sun will shine again,
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain,
Oh the sun will shine again, I'm rusted from the rain

Easy

It's supposed to be easy.
Everything is supposed to be easy.
Everything is easy.
You live in a dream world.
You're surrounded by illusions.
And the illusions change when you change your thinking!
Tell yourself it's easy.
Tell yourself often.
Make it a mantra.
Eat, sleep, and breathe it.
And your life shall be transformed.

It's supposed to be easy,
The Universe

p.s. Things are changing already, huh?

Fairy Tale

A fairy tale is a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and talking animals, and usually enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. In modern-day parlance, the term is also used to describe something blessed with princesses, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy tale romance", though not all fairy tales end happily. Colloquially, a "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_tale

Ways of Seeing

Despite the fact that it was first published in 1972, this essential book on the psychological and social implications of visual imagery, is just as relevant now as it was then. Over six essays, Berger encourages the reader to see the world with new eyes to allow greater understanding of the images around them. He shows how the viewer can go beyond the surface of paintings, photographs and other images to see how even the tiniest details are part of the overall reading and perception of that image. (Kirkus UK) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak.""But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."John Berger's "Ways of Seeing" is one of the most stimulating and the most influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the "London Sunday Times" critic commented: "This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings ...he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures." By now he has.

The proverbial "tree in the forest"

"On cold days a man can see his breath, on a hot day he can't. On both occasions, the man breathes." - White Teeth, Zadie Smith

This quote struck me as particularly intriguing. In the context of the book, they are referring to Allah, Jesus, Buddha, a higher being. However, I find it particulary interesting when placed next to the proverbial "tree in the forest". If a tree falls in a lonely forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Is sound only a sound if someone hears it? Apart from the books original higher-being reference, it is an intriguing thought. Do our actions always have an effect, regardless of whether they immediately touch, or are seen, perceived by anyone else? In cases of unseen acts, does it circle back around to karma?

In the sense of the books meaning, it is basically stating that regardless of whether you are witnessed directly, your actions are observerd by a higher being and will come upon you at judgement day. Can we apply this thought separate from the reference to God or other higher beings? Will all of our actions act as a drop in the ocean, eventually creating a wave, eventually creating a tidal wave, eventually creating a tsunami? Do we assume that things we do (obviously aside from mundane, daily tasks) can go unnoticed? Are we but a drop in the ocean? And if we are, wouldn't the ocean be less without that drop?

Although we can't see our breath on a hot day, it is still there keeping us alive. Perhaps things that are not tangible, not physically visible, still have an enormous affect on the world, a lasting consequence - good or bad, maintain the flow of life. Perhaps we are not just a tiny drop in the ocean but a piece of a greater web, a web that keeps things in balance, in check. When a tree falls in a forest, regardless of whether it makes a sound (perception) or the sound is heard, it has a greater affect on the landscape, the wildlife, everything from the insects to the air we breath. Maybe it isn't the breath, or the falling of the tree but the ripple that that produces...

Looking at the ceiling

Looking at the ceiling
A ceiling
But which ceiling?
The illusion of a ceiling
There is no roof
There is no house
There is no fence
There is no leather nor rock
My heart is naked
My heart is shy
My heart is pink
My heart is a kid
So, jumping
Closed eyes
No parachute
Jumping
When we like
Jumping
When we are
Jumping
When we lose our references
Jumping is scary
Please, Please,
Bring fences around me
Put ceilings around me
Put a coat on my heart
Make-up on my face
Lies to mask it
Cause
I am
Affraid of looking in
Looking out
Locking out
Locking in
Affraid of loosing it
Getting it
Affraid of being it
Being
Being
Affraid of liking you
Liking
Affraid of love
Loving
Loving myself,
In you...

Et pourtant - Charles Aznavour




Un beau matin je sais que je m'éveillerai
Différemment de tous les autres jours
Et mon coeur délivré enfin de notre amour
Et pourtant, et pourtant
Sans un remords, sans un regret je partirai
Droit devant moi sans espoir de retour
Loin des yeux loin du coeur j'oublierai
pour toujours
Et ton coeur et tes bras
Et ta voix
Mon amour
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant
J'arracherai sans une larme, sans un cri
Les liens secrets qui déchirent ma peau
Me libérant de toi pour trouver le repos
Et pourtant, et pourtant
Je marcherai vers d'autres cieux,
d'autres pays
En oubliant ta cruelle froideur
Les mains pleines d'amour j'offrirai
au bonheur
Et les jour et les nuits
Et la vie
De mon coeur
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant
Il faudra bien que je retrouve ma raison
Mon insouciance et mes élans de joie
Que je parte à jamais pour échapper à toi
Et pourtant
Dans d'autres bras quand j'oublirai
jusqu'à ton nom
Quand je pourrai repenser l'avenir
Tu deviendras pour moi qu'un
lointain souvenir
Quand mon mal et ma peur
Et mes pleurs
Vont finir
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Et pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi
Pourtant, pourtant, je n'aime que toi...

The Hanged Man

letting go
having an emotional release
accepting what is
surrendering to experience
ending the struggle
being vulnerable and open
giving up control
accepting God's will
reversing
turning the world around
changing your mind
overturning old priorities
seeing from a new angle
upending the old order
doing an about-face
"Ne résiste pas la mort d'une partie de toi."

Bring me to the moon


When the sun is only outside
The flowers do not wait for you
The birds sing without you
The lovers do not see you
The stranger doesn't call you
The plane pass by
The wind blows alone
It is cloudy inside today
Bring me to the moon.

Then...

Your shinny eyes
Your spunky hair
Your contagious laugh
Your artsy nature
The way you look at me
The way you let me be
You flew me to the moon...

Thank you

Fly me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra

Dispassion


(n.) Freedom from passion; an undisturbed state; or bias; calm; impartial; apathy.

The attainment of that state of consciousness where balance is seen, and neither pleasure or pain dominate. Through dispassion, the emotional nature is rendered immune from the appeal of the senses and desire fails to deter the soul from its rightful task. Dispassion frees one from bias and allows one a calm, impartial attitude.

Kabbalah on LOVE

by Yehuda Berg
This attractive little book has a simple yet profound message: Love is not something you learn or acquire but is an essence within, waiting to be revealed. The incredibly powerful force that is love can only be activated by sharing and serving unconditionally. The book draws the distinction between love and need, which is a selfish product of ego, and reminds us that we cannot love someone else until we figure out how to love ourselves and connect with the love within.

Parrot

Parrot brings you messages about the power of the sun, and the healing energy of color therapy. If you're attracted to the parrot, you feel energized and motivated on bright, sunny days, and grey/rainy/overcast days drag you down if they linger too long. You are also sensitive to color: tones, hues, harmony, blends and the moods that can be created with the use of color. You probably have a touch of bright color on your clothing or in your hair no matter what you may be wearing. You may be intrigued with interior decorating, fashion design, costuming, special effects and lighting, the visual arts, and all those magical endeavors which rely upon the creative use of light and color.

Parrot also has the unique ability of understanding and communicating with both the animal world and the human world. You have been given the gift of language — both spoken and written — and fully understand the power of words. Parrot people are the master communicators. Here we find actors, politicians, ambassadors, orators, great writers, and even advertising and marketing experts. Chances are that clever commercial that keeps running in your head was designed by a "parrot" person.



If you carry parrot medicine, always be mindful that you have the power of words that can influence others with a lasting impact. Combine those words with the effective use of color, and your message will not be forgotten. Take care to choose those words carefully so that they are supportive, encouraging and positive. To use your gifts in a negative way can have a devastating and destructive effect. Speak with careful thought. Your words are a reflection of your inner spirit.

Here comes the sun - The Beatles

La honte / shame

La honte arrive généralement dans ma vie lorsqu'une autre personne est impliquée dans l'équation.
Ensuite, je me flagelle avec son venin, seule...puis, tombe dans l'inertie.
La honte est la "drive" de pratiquement tout ce que je fais ou plutôt "ne fais pas".
La honte me rend irresponsable et m'empêche d'aller dans ma lumière. Auto-destruction.
Je ressens la honte dans le haut de mon estomac, près du plexus solaire, une pression.
La honte avec un petit "h". Je décide de lui enlever sa lettre majuscule...
- HEY! Je te vois -

Tu n'as pas besoin de ça.
C'est un sentiment comme un autre, ne lui donne pas de valeur disproportionnée,
passe à autre chose, car c'est uniquement dans TA tête à toi, ne te projette pas.
VICTOIRE!

Law of Attraction: Its Basic Premise and Application

The law of attraction is a new age concept that puts forward the notion that you can attract into your reality what is most predominant in your thoughts. It is therefore an application of the mind power phenomenon.

The premise of the law of attraction are the following:
**All things in the universe, including our thoughts, are energy vibrating at different frequencies. Therefore we are one with everything else.

**Increasing the intensity of a certain thought by keeping it pure, through repetition, verbal & written affirmations, mental images (visualization), belief and strong emotions will produce a very real experience for us in the subconscious level.

**The subconscious is the gateway to our connection with the entire cosmos. Once an experience is already real in the subconscious level, the subconscious mind causes the attraction into the material plane of the thing that matches the experience.

The law works even if your predominant thoughts are negative. Since it will attract the same into your life, your words, your attitude, your personality, your values & your environment will most likely reflect this negativity. So instead of blaming some external factors for the “misfortunes” you are currently experiencing, examine your thoughts instead. As they say, “everything is within, nothing is without.”

The law of attraction has come to be a self-empowerment tool in that it allows you the chance to lead your life where you always want it to be. It is also called conscious creation because through it, you can purposely & deliberately create your own ideal life by taking control & manipulating your thoughts.

So you can use this law with maximum benefits you must maintain a very good self-concept. You must value yourself high enough to believe in your dreams & aspirations. Applying the law needs faith in the unseen forces at work and in your confidence to change your life for the better. It will not take the time to work for you if you do not believe it could, and worst if you do not believe that you DESERVE what you trying to attract.

Pierre Lapointe - Deux Par Deux Rassemblés

Celui qui était fort hier
Ne sera que poussière demain
Malgré la grandeur des refrains
Et malgré l'arme qu'il a à la main
Tout ce qui monte redescend
Celui qui tombe se relèvera
Si aujourd'hui je pleure dans tes bras
Demain je repartirai au combat
Ce n'est sûrement pas de briller
Qui nous empêchera de tomber
Ce n'est sûrement pas de tomber
Qui nous empêchera de rêver

Ce qui reste à jamais gravé
Dans tous les coeurs disloqués
N'est pas objet qui ne pense qu'à briller
Mais plutôt tout geste de vérité
Demain nous donnerons nos armes
En offrande à notre-dame
Pour ces quelques pêcheurs sans âme
En échange des ornements de nos larmes

Ce n'est sûrement pas de briller
Qui nous empêchera de tomber
Ce n'est sûrement pas de tomber
Qui nous empêchera de rêver

Même les yeux, le coeur aveuglés
Par l'alcool, le sang troublé
Par le frère de l'huître scellés
Bien droits, nous continuerons à marcher
Une fois deux par deux rassemblés
Nous partirons le poing levé
Jamais la peur d'être blessés
N'empêchera nos coeurs de crier

Ce n'est sûrement pas de briller
Qui nous empêchera de tomber
Ce n'est sûrement pas de tomber
Qui nous empêchera de rêver
