More About Me

An idea worth spreading

We have the chance to benefit countless beings, not many meet the way to do so even fewer actually do.
Everything is impermanent.
Everything is driven by the principle of cause and effect : our present is the result of our past thoughts, words and actions and now we are creating the seeds of our future.
We cannot help others until we are stuck with our own problems and confusions. (Inspired from Buddhist teachings)

We should believe and do everything to develop the potential of the young generations that are ready for a mindswitch and a new conception of our world !

  We've already gone so far and really not in a sustainable way.

  A comment on Conversation: Conversation with Simon Lewis: How do we make the most of our Consciousness?

  Sep 27 2011: In my opinion, and that is getting more and more confirmed by my own experience... As you say we are talking of "collective" consciousness. Our western cultures are teaching us how to focus more and more on our selves. How can you get to something collective if you serve only yourself ? I think that the buddhist ideals have a lot to give to change this (I am not saying everyone should be bouddhist) I am saying that everyone should care more about the others than about itself, and understand that in fine the well being of others makes us happy. But here I am only telling things much better said by matthieu ricard in his ted talk (the habits of happiness).
  If we don t stop thinking of ourselves there will be no collective consciousness, and many profit driven companies and organizations will fool us and do whatever they want with us and our planet.

  A comment on Talk: Kartick Satyanarayan: How we rescued the "dancing" bears

  Sep 24 2011: That's a wonderful action, a great job... I started clapping in front of my computer at the moment he said that the last bear will be sent to a sanctuary ! This is one of many examples that when your cause is right you can solve problems ! And this is always inspiring to see this kind of action succeed !

  A comment on Talk: Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

  Sep 17 2011: This is the example of what is a true hero ! Somewhere it is called a boddhisatva. Your action is wonderfull, it is a proof that idealism is not useless, that even when everybody is saying it is impossible, actually it is ! I really hope that this day will become a 100prct non violent day on earth ! I've heard about a film called "one day on earth" it is gathering images from all over the world that were filmed during one day. This should be done for the 21st of September !
  
  I hope that this kind of attitude will spread and that this kind of days will become more and more used to focus the attention of mankind on the issues that are destroying us.
  
  Thank you for giving some hope !
