<div><em>Fluir constitui o estado natural do universo, da natureza e do ser humano.<br />
Todo o bloqueio do fluxo cria um obstáculo que, nos humanos, constitui um sintoma físico ou emocional.<br />
A intuição é um fluxo subtil sem tempo.<br />

<p><em></em> </p>
<p><strong>Sobre o Seminário:</strong></p>
<p>Este seminário é uma experiência intensa em que a pessoa decide dedicar dois dias e meio a si própria. Não é um processo mental de tentativa de mudança de vida, mas sim um processo de elevação que permite criar as soluções para poder viver a vida na harmonia, na paz e na beleza. Cada um pode criar uma nova vida. Trabalhamos noutro plano, diferente daquele em que a sociedade vive no dia a dia. Criamos uma nova experiência de vida.<br />
É uma viagem ao mais profundo nível da sua consciência. Será possível deixar-se tocar pela verdade genuína de se ser quem se é?</p>
<p><strong>Aprenderá:</strong><br />
• A trabalhar com o poder da atenção<br />
• A saber quando ficar no fluxo e quando acolher a forma<br />
• Porque as crenças, pensamentos e apegos o tornam infeliz<br />
• Como viver a vida e não ser vivido por ela<br />
• A viver a genuinidade do ser no contacto com a matéria e com o outro<br />
• A distinguir o comportamento da vivência da emoção<br />
• A desenvolver a imunidade<br />
• O que os seus sintomas emocionais e físicos lhe estão a dizer<br />
• Como usar a mente para se aproximar da intuição<br />
• Como reconhecer as percepções extra sensoriais<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I have recently read <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2010/01/how-to-build-a-stronger-ego/" target="_blank">Steve Pavlina&#8217;s post</a> on <em>How to Build a Stronger Ego</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Is it really useful to build a stronger ego?</strong></p>
<p>The stronger your ego, the more you’ll be kept away from your intuition; and  the more<em> yang outside </em>you will be.<br />
I&#8217;ve talked about this in my post <a href="/lms/how-to-become-stronger"><em>How to Become Stronger</em></a>.<br />
With a stronger ego, you will be more determined, harder, more aggressive, more Cartesian, but also less sensitive, less intelligent and your life will demand much effort and many wars.<br />
You will become a doer and <a href="/lms/creators-and-repeaters"><em>a repeater but not a creator</em></a>.<br />
Because your ego only repeats; it is unable to create.</p>
<p>Your ego is driven by the sense of survival, not by the sense of evolution.</p>
<p>With a big ego, the probability of becoming wealthy or poor is exactly the same.<br />
I know people with strong egos who are very wealthy and other people with strong egos who are very poor.<br />
Building a stronger ego also increases the propensity to <a href="/lms/Alzheimer"><em><strong>Alzheimer</strong></em></a>, <a href="/lms/senility"><em><strong>senility</strong></em></a>, <a href="/lms/isolation"><em><strong>isolation</strong></em></a> and <a href="/lms/brain"><em><strong>brain problems</strong></em></a>. Furthermore, you may have an arrogant behaviour and a problem with the sense of <a href="/lms/authority"><em><strong>authority</strong></em></a>.</p>
<p>May they end-up being wealthy or poor, the individuals with strong egos tend to stop their evolution as human beings. They just do not <a href="/lms/the-evolution-of-mankind"><em>evolve</em></a>. And of course they are unable to solve <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle"><em>our planet’s major issues</em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>And what about weakening or killing your ego?</strong></p>
<p>Some people claim they want to weaken and sometimes even kill their ego.<br />
When you try to absolutely weaken or even kill your ego, you never get read of it.<br />
Focusing on the disappearance of something has the same result as focusing on something to get bigger. What you focus upon grows.</p>
<p>These people tend to have little financial prosperity most of the time. They also tend to hardly see the individual as a whole and their practice of spirituality seems to be according to rules and <a href="/lms/the-barriers-to-intuition"><em><strong>separation</strong></em></a>.<br />
They are often radical and sometimes against society. They pretend to live away from matter. But spirituality has to be lived in matter; not away from it.<br />
These individuals also tend to stop their evolution.</p>
<p><strong>Ego killers and ego builders are in two opposite ends of the same paradigm.</strong></p>
<p>And, of course, they tend to mock each other.</p>
<p>Intuition is your link to everything there is. It is your super intelligence.<br />
When you spend your days building a stronger ego or creating separation, <a href="/lms/the-two-levels-of-conscience"><em><strong>intuition</strong></em></a> will not sprout easily from within.</p>
<p><strong>No, do not build a stronger ego and do not weaken or kill it either.</strong></p>
<p>Just accept it. Accept your ego. <a href="/lms/observe-acknowledge-and-accept-facts"><em><strong>Observe it, acknowledge it and accept it</strong></em></a>.</p>
<p>Just focus on <a href="/lms/the-two-levels-of-conscience"><em><strong>Who You Are</strong></em></a> and accept your ego.<br />
Just accept it. Leave your ego alone!<br />
Accept your state of limbo (everybody has one), accept your fragilities, accept your inconsistency, accept your mixed feelings.</p>
<p>Live with your ego and accept it, but do not define yourself thru your ego.<br />
Your ego is just not Who You Are.<br />
Identifying to your ego impeaches your intuition to enlighten your life.</p>
<p>If you have access to Who You Are, you will realize you can master matter just by being. You do not need to do anything to attract matter and be wealthy.</p>
<p>We can all create the state of living we want. But for that, we will have to leave our ego alone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The human being is global.</strong></p>
<p>There are at least two different ways of understanding the human being, in our society.<br />
One of them likes to cut the human being in parts;<br />
The other likes to see the human being as a whole, in its integrity, as one.</p>
<p>People who think the human being is nothing but a sum of parts often play different roles when they’re at home or at work, when they are at the church or amongst friends, when they are talking to their subordinates or to their bosses.<br />
This cleavage is driven by fear and it reinforces duality and, hence, scarcity, fear itself and pain.</p>
<p>How can you be two different persons in different moments, in different places?<br />
And what will you do if you, your boss, your subordinates, your family, your friends and the priest meet?<br />
Who will you be?</p>
<p>Creating so much separation in your life kills you!<br />
It&#8217;s your ego that is in control.</p>
<p>We often hear about <strong>conventional modern medicine</strong> and <strong>alternative medicine</strong> (the traditional sort, mostly).<br />
Does this separation make sense to you?</p>
<p>It is true that some “modernphysicians” like to separate the individual in pieces to address their illness (I will call this the localized approach) but you also have other modern physicians who prefer to see the individual as a whole.<br />
And it is also true that some “alternative therapists” like to separate the individual in pieces but others prefer to see him as a whole.</p>
<p>Those people who play different roles according to where and with whom they are, tend to prefer the localized medical approach, be it alternative or modern.<br />
They are so insecure that they don’t want anybody to be aware of their fragilities.</p>
<p>They are afraid to show all they are.<br />
They just can’t <a href="../lms/to-be-complete-the-genuine-vibration"><em>vibrate genuinely</em></a>.</p>
<p>I am a supporter of those that look at the human being as a whole.<br />
In my life, I’ve experienced the diagnosis of  “global modern doctors”, of  “localized modern doctors”, of  “global alternative therapists” and of  “localized alternative therapists”.<br />
I can tell the difference.<br />
I know now that I don&#8217;t like the &#8220;localized&#8221; approach, be it alternative or modern.</p>
<p>Actually, I think that in the global approach, there is not a conventional modern medicine and than an alternative medicine. They are complementary. They need each other.</p>
<p>If I have a <a href="../lms/headache"><em>headache</em></a> , taking some pills will help me getting rid of the symptom, but it won’t eliminate the cause.</p>
<p>If I have a headache, taking some plants or herb teas will also help me get rid of the symptom, but it won’t eliminate the cause.</p>
<p>Treating your headache with an aspirin or with any other chemical drug works probably as much as treating it with herb teas or plants.</p>
<p>It alters the pain, indeed.<br />
But none of these approaches solve the causes.</p>
<p>The big advantage of herb teas and plants is they do not cause any collateral damage.</p>
<p>But none of these therapies addressed the real cause.</p>
<p>From my point of view, the problem with any localized therapy is that it only looks at the problem.<br />
The localized physicians often specialize in <a href="../lms/how-to-understand-healing"><em>illnesses and symptoms</em>, but not in health</a>.</p>
<p>Health specialists never forget the human being is whole.</p>
<p>Health specialists must not be considered similar to illness specialists.</p>
<p>Can you tell the difference?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I am writing this post while the Copenhagen meeting about the Climate Changes is taking place.<br />
Are you afraid? Are you anxious? Are you nostalgic of the way our planet was many years ago?<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>It is hard to live in the present moment.</strong></p>
<p>We tend to either complain about the past or to miss the past.<br />
Hence, we tend to nurture emotions of <strong>fear </strong>and/or <strong>nostalgia</strong>.</p>
<p>We also tend to worry about the future or to want it to come quicker.<br />
Thus, we tend to feel <strong>anxiety</strong>.</p>
<p>And, of course, we make a big soup with these three emotions (fear, nostalgia and anxiety), living them in alternation and in a self fulfilling behaviour.</p>
<p>Nurturing fear, nostalgia and anxiety does not solve any problem.<br />
It never did and it never will.<br />
It is only when we remain in the present moment that we can address fear, nostalgia and anxiety effectively.<br />
Why? Because the present moment is the only one there is.</p>
<p>Fear and nostalgia, as well as sadness, shame, anger, despise and other emotions are fed by our <a href="/lms/the-beliefs-system"><em>beliefs system</em></a>.</p>
<p>Beliefs are never in the present moment.<br />
They are always in the past, all of them.<br />
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be called beliefs.</p>
<p>Most people like to use what they call good beliefs to solve their bad emotions.<br />
So they become <strong>believers</strong>.<br />
They are moved by beliefs, by <strong><em>faith</em></strong>.<br />
Any body can become a believer; religiously or not.</p>
<p>So you hear people say they have faith in God, in the Pope, in the Dalai Lama, in Ala, in their government, in their president.<br />
Do you have faith in those that are now gathered in Copenhagen?</p>
<p><strong>In this planet, a majority of people are moved by faith, in whatever it may be.<br />
Yet, they are not able to address the biggest issues the planet has been facing.</strong></p>
<p>And, of course, it happens (very, very often, by the way) that they do not all cherish the same faith.<br />
So sometimes we have war between people of different faiths.<br />
It is very common. Even in your neighbourhood.</p>
<p>This creates more and more <a href="/lms/the-barriers-to-intuition"><em>separation</em></a>.</p>
<p>But, to solve the Earth major issues, we need unity, we need to become <a href="/lms/the-two-levels-of-conscience"><em>One</em></a>.<br />
We’ve seen the solution will come from <a href="/lms/the-evolution-of-mankind"><em>Intuition</em></a> , from the connection to the I Am, not from separation.</p>
<p>No, faith is a belief that is rooted in the past and eager to change the future.<br />
And, unfortunately, faith has never solved anything in the world.<br />
Instead of faith, we need something very different that lies in the present moment.</p>
<p>I must say that I am not trying to offend anybody.<br />
I am just saying that faith is not in the present moment.</p>
<p><strong>Instead of faith, we need factual verification</strong>.<br />
Factual verification means to recognize and to acknowledge the facts.<br />
The Latin languages use the word <em>constatation</em> in French, <em>constatación</em> in Spanish, <em>constatazione</em> in Italian and <em>constatação</em> in Portuguese.<br />
This word does not exist in English.</p>
<p><em>Constatation</em> means <em>to state with</em>, i.e. <em><strong>to verify and just acknowledge the very truth of facts</strong></em>.<br />
It means to avoid denial.<br />
It means to live according to the facts.</p>
<p><strong>And facts are always in the present moment.<br />
They can’t be anywhere else.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is only when you filter facts with your beliefs that you step away from the very truth of the facts and from the very present moment.</strong></p>
<p>No, faith seen as a belief will never solve the world’s problems, I am very sorry.<br />
Only the true acknowledgment of the facts will.</p>
<p>I am sorry to say that faith seen as a belief has been the biggest tool the ego has used for thousands of years on this planet.</p>
<p>And of course, it took us where we are today.<br />
Faith as a belief creates repetition.<br />
Humans cease to be <a href="/lms/creators-and-repeaters"><em>Creators and become Repeaters</em></a>.</p>
<p>And I insist. I am not only talking about religious faith.</p>
<p>By the way, did you know that from the earlier Greek translation of the bible, the word that was used for faith was “<em>pistis</em>”? (Of course this is the phonetic spelling – I know nothing of Greek language).<br />
And guess what: <em>Pistis </em>meant <em>certainty</em>. It did not mean belief.</p>
<p><strong>Certainty lies on the present moment, nowhere else.<br />
Certitude is the solution, not beliefs.</strong></p>
<p>What certainty?</p>
<ul>
<li> The certitude that the way the world is today has to do with a huge <a href="/lms/co-creations"><em>co-creation</em></a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty that the wars, hunger, desertification, climate changes, stress, diseases and animal extinctions are just a natural result of the way our <a href="/lms/how-your-brain-works"><em>collective human ego thinks</em></a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certitude that from the way we’ve been thinking and believing for the last 100 years, at least, no other result would have been possible.The way things exist today makes sense. It just could not be any different. We are where our ego led us.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty, <a href="/lms/a-childs-path"><em>when you look at a new born</em></a>, that humans are not mean. No, they are not.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty that it is our <a href="/lms/the-beliefs-system"><em>beliefs system</em></a>, our mother culture, our religious beliefs, our family and clan beliefs and our nation’s beliefs that make us humans seem mean.</li>
</ul>
<p>How do I know?<br />
Just thru <em>constatation</em>, i.e. thru a simple true verification of the facts.</p>
<ul>
<li>The certitude that <a href="/lms/the-two-levels-of-conscience"><em>we humans are not the ego, but rather the I Am</em></a>, the source of everything that exists.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty that we are all One.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty that intuition will solve all the problems of our planet and beyond.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certitude that solutions lie within.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> The certainty that it is by acknowledging the way things are, that it is by loving the way things are, that it is by loving the human nature, that it is by accepting our ego is unable to solve this planet’s issues, that it is by reconnecting again to everything there is, to nature, to animals, to plants, to the sea and the mountains, to the spirit and the soul that we will receive the insights to how to live a new life on Earth.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The certitude that our planet depends on the <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle"><em>Universal Puzzle</em></a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You know what?<br />
This certitude makes me feel extremely happy.<br />
I really feel motivated by all this.</p>
<p><strong>“Yes, we can!”</strong>, somebody said recently.</p>
<p>I agree with this sentence, if we are certain the WE means the collective I AM and not the collective Ego.</p>
<p>Yes we can!<br />
Yes I can!<br />
Yes, you can!</p>
<p>Start now.</p>
<p>How?<br />
By observing, verifying, <a href="/lms/observe-acknowledge-and-accept-facts"><em>acknowledging and accepting every fact</em></a>, every <a href="/lms/co-creations"><em>co-creation</em></a>, every event that happens in your life; and by <a href="/lms/to-be-complete-the-genuine-vibration"><em>vibrating genuinely</em></a>. Be all you are. Do not deny your “dark - fragile” side.</p>
<p>And live your life happily.<br />
As happily as I just wrote this post.<br />
I really feel enthusiastic about what our planet is about to become.<br />
And I am already working on it.</p>
<p>I am absolutely not worried about the Copenhagen meeting.<br />
I have no fear and no anxiety.<br />
The solution will not come from those meetings.<br />
These meetings help a lot, when those who participate are able to find unity.<br />
If all the participants were able to talk and think as One, that would already be great.</p>
<p>Do not be a believer!!!<br />
Be certain, trust the universe, trust the human nature, trust <a href="/lms/the-power-of-attention"><em>Who You Are</em></a>.</p>
<p>There is absolutely no reason for you not to be all you are.<br />
We need all you are to change this planet!</p>
<p>Yes I AM!<br />
Amen!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Law of Creation</strong> is the fourth of the four laws of cause-effect. The first one is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-health"><em>the Law of Health</em></a>, the second is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-rebound"><em>the Law of Rebound</em></a> and the third is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-universal-attraction"><em>the Law of Universal Attraction</em></a>.</p>
<p>The Law of Creation says everything that exists is the result of thoughts; It is the result of an intention.</p>
<p>Look around and you will realize that every object is the result of a thought. Every object has a certain function.</p>
<p>We understand easily the function of objects created by mankind, like a chair, a shoe, but it is much more difficult to understand the function of a mountain, or of a river, or of a cloud or even a flower.<br />
Actually, they also have a function, but it is difficult for us to tell.</p>
<p>Mountains, rivers, flowers are also the result of thoughts.<br />
The difference is that their function took its origin in intuition;<br />
They were produced at the level of the soul, at the level of the Being, at the level of the <a href="/lms/the-two-levels-of-conscience"><em>I AM</em></a>.</p>
<p>Before anything happens in our world, I AM.<br />
<em>In beginning the verb was.</em></p>
<p>Before anything happens, you are, I AM.<br />
This shows the law of creation.</p>
<p>Everything starts in my conscience.<br />
Everything that happens to me on Earth was created by I, was chosen by I, although not always consciously.<br />
It is not often my conscious choice, but it is always a choice I have made.</p>
<p>It is useless to ask for more justice to the world.<br />
It is by becoming aware of my personal power of creation that I can change my life.<br />
I can create a different life now.</p>
<p>It is using consciously these four laws: The Law of Health, the Law of Rebound, the Law of Universal Attraction and the Law of Creation that some humans are able to master the subtle energy and to change some events on Earth.</p>
<p>This world where we live is the one we’ve created.<br />
There is only a universal justice. The human justice is impotent.<br />
Maybe justice is the wrong word; probably, we’d better call it the universal functioning.</p>
<p>It is because we humans lost consciousness of these four laws that we do not realize the huge power of destruction we have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Law of Universal Attraction</strong> is the third of the four laws of cause-effect. The first one is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-health"><em>the Law of Health</em></a>, the second is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-rebound"><em>the Law of Rebound</em></a> and the fourth is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-creation"><em>the Law of Creation</em></a>.</p>
<p>The Law of Universal Attraction says everything that happens to me has started with me.<br />
I am the creator of my own reality.</p>
<p>Those who share moments of my life are similar to me in a particular characteristic.<br />
We attract our similar.</p>
<p><strong>Nothing happens by chance.</strong><br />
Everything happens by <a href="/lms/co-creation"><em>Co-Creation</em></a>.<br />
A crash with someone, a discussion, a fight, insults, violence and aggressiveness are never the result of one person only. It takes two.</p>
<p>For something to happen, you need two people to create it, at least.<br />
No one is run over by chance.<br />
No one is killed by chance.<br />
In our dual world, everything needs its opposite to be defined.</p>
<p>It is not always easy to accept, of course.<br />
Sometimes it doesn’t seem moral.<br />
But the <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle"><em>Universal Puzzle</em></a> does not care about our human moral.</p>
<p>Every time something happens to you, ask yourself: “Why have I attracted this?”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Law of Rebound</strong> is the second of the four laws of cause-effect. The first one is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-health"><em>the Law of Health</em></a>, the third is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-universal-attraction"><em>the Law of Universal Attraction</em></a> and the fourth is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-creation"><em>the Law of Creation</em></a>.</p>
<p>The Law of Rebound says anything I send to my environment, to people, to animals, to things always comes back to me, but stronger.</p>
<p>The way I vibrate has an impact on the vibrations I eventually receive from others and from things.</p>
<p>The <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle"><em><strong>Universal Puzzle</strong></em></a> works like the edges of a pool that would amplify the ripples created by swimmers.<br />
The puzzle intensifies the ripples I create.</p>
<p>All the <a href="/lms/to-be-complete-the-genuine-vibration">genuine vibration </a>we send out to the world comes back to us multiplied.<br />
And all the non genuine vibration we send out to the world also comes back to us multiplied.</p>
<p>Sometimes, we are so busy being egotistic and non genuine that we state this law is not true.</p>
<p>The puzzle is perfect and follows a pattern of waves and vibrations.</p>
<p>We harvest what we sowed.</p>
<p>If you do not like what you’ve been receiving from the world in which you live, start changing what you’ve been sending.</p>
<p>Be aware of your power to change your world now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle"><em><strong>Universal Puzzle</strong></em></a> follows a certain pattern and responds to <strong>four natural laws</strong> that are not part of our materialistic and egotistic code.<br />
Understanding and accepting these laws can be very useful.</p>
<p>The <strong>Law of Health</strong> is the first of the four laws of cause-effect. The second one is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-rebound"><em>the Law of Rebound</em></a>, the third is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-universal-attraction"><em>the Law of Universal Attraction</em></a> and the fourth is <a href="/lms/the-law-of-creation"><em>the Law of Creation</em></a>.</p>
<p>The Law of Health says everything that happens in my body has previously happened at the level of the spirit.</p>
<p>The trigger for a healthy body is not at the level of the body.<br />
Being healthy has to do with being or not being genuine.</p>
<p><a href="/lms/dybl-introduction"><em><strong>Physical symptoms</strong></em></a> are nothing but the result of <a href="/lms/the-universal-puzzle">translations</a> operated by the puzzle in response to our vibration.</p>
<p>The puzzle only reacts to what we are.<br />
If we send him lies, it will react to lies by showing the truth thru our body symptoms.<br />
The puzzle is only a huge echo of my <a href="/lms/to-be-complete-the-genuine-vibration">inner vibration</a>.</p>
<p>It is important to remember that we are all part of this universal puzzle.</p>
<p>He who creates physical or emotional symptoms is being called to attention by his own spirit.<br />
In fact, his spirit is urging him to vibrate genuinely.</p>
<p>Our fragilities and our hidden emotions need to be brought out to the light.<br />
Every human symptom is the result of a part of me that I do not want to live.</p>
