The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Tlatelolco. 2 de Octubre de 1968.

Tlatelolco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tlatelolco is an area in Mexico City, centered on the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, a square surrounded on three sides by an excavated Aztec pyramid, the 17th century church Templo de Santiago, and the modern office complex of the Mexican foreign ministry.

Originally it was an independent Aztec city, but it was absorbed by Tenochtitlan. During the Aztec rule, it was the market district of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán, probably one of the largest in the Americas.

According to Conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo, it was larger than the city of Sevilla and larger than any market any of the Spaniards had seen, even those of Venice and Constantinople, with about 20,000 to 40,000 people trading.

Tlatelolco massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlatelolco_massacre

The Tlatelolco Massacre, also known as The Night of Tlatelolco (from a book title by the Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska), took place on the afternoon and night of October 2, 1968, in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in the Tlatelolco section of Mexico City, ten days before the 1968 Summer Olympics celebrations in Mexico City. The death toll remains controversial: some estimates place the number of deaths in the thousands, but most sources report 200-300 deaths. Government sources say "4 Dead, 20 Wounded". There exact number of people who were arrested is also controversial.

Also called The Mexican Tiananmen

Civilizacion.

Atmósfera Musical para un Viernes cualquiera.

Un buen Playlist es un

Artículo absolutamente orgánico !

En otras palabras, es un articulo absolutamente indispensable.

Es recomendable escucharlo en estado de alerta,

Y acompañado de gente querida y un buen vino.

En ese unico Estado de Gracia,

Permite que te inunde el río de silencios y sonidos

y sumérgete en su profundidad.

Esplendido Río de Vida,

E inicia tu recorrido,

Elige el curso de tu Vida.

A final de cuentas, es tu tiempo,

El único con el que cuentas.

Decide finalmente como quieres vivirlo.

Detén el fluir de tus pensamientos

Y permanece lo más posible en ese estado.

Haciendo, con el tiempo,

Un inventario de tu existencia.

Después, y con trabajo, descubrirás

Cómo armonizarte con el Cosmos.

En el momento que lo desees.

Darás el paso a otra realidad,

En la cual te encuentras en permanente aprendizaje.

Y después de algún tiempo,

Descubrirás que es tiempo de cosechar.

Percibirte como el ser cósmico que eres.

Barrer el viejo yo.

Somos polvo de estrellas, y debemos estar

conscientes de ello.

Somos seres luminosos.

Pero, debemos asumirnos como tales.

Podemos ser lo que los Dioses quieren para nosotros,

Hombres libres y felices, trabajando en paz,

En compañía de familias y amigos,

creando un gran pueblo,

Orgulloso de sus acciones,

y de su gran Civilización.

Carraol 2006.

Carpe diem

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.

Horacio

( Apodérate del día, nunca confíes en lo posterior )

Aprovecha el día ( Carpe diem ), no te preocupes por el mañana. El mañana no existe...

Seize the day (Carpe diem), and trust as little as possible in the future.

A taste of Don Juan.

El espíritu no es nada que se pueda ver o sentir,
pero que siempre esta ahí, vaga e indistintamente
encima de nosotros.
Algunas veces, hasta llega a tocarnos, sin embargo,
la mayor parte del tiempo permanece indiferente.
En gran medida, el espíritu es una especie de animal salvaje
que mantiene su distancia con respecto a nosotros,
hasta el momento en que algo lo tienta a avanzar.
Es entonces cuando se manifiesta.

Don Juan ( Carlos Castaneda )
