Yes, there are people that are basically spiritual but still need religion, and that’s perfectly all right. I am not here to condemn or judge because I respect and love all of God's children.

There are good and spiritual people everywhere on Earth, among all creeds, in all societies, among all races. I am just referring to the Institutions that rule the masses in the name of their own-created gods.

However it’s time that we humans finally come to the ultimate realization that all Religions are basically man made rules. That’s all. Which rule do you choose to follow?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong><em><em>Spirituality and religion have nothing in common. </em></em></p>
<p>Yes, there are people that are basically spiritual but still need religion, and that’s perfectly all right. I am not here to condemn or judge because I respect and love all of God&#8217;s children.</p>
<p>There are good and spiritual people everywhere on Earth, among all creeds, in all societies, among all races. I am just referring to the Institutions that rule the masses in the name of their own-created gods.</p>
<p>However it’s time that we humans finally come to the ultimate realization that all Religions are basically man made rules. That’s all. Which rule do you choose to follow?</p>
<p>Why are there so many different sects in all religions?</p>
<p>If Religion teaches truth then there should not be separation and division among the believers.</p>
<p>All religions on Planet Earth are divided in many different sects, yet they claim to believe in the same teachings. How is this possible?</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="/img/catholic-vs-protestant.jpg" alt="" />Why are the Catholics and Protestants still fighting?</p>
<p>Don’t they believe or understand the teachings of the Christ and of many other great Teachers?</p>
<p>Well….if they did then they would not be fighting against one another. I don‘t think that any of the Great Masters ever taught and encouraged man to hate, fight, judge, punish and much less destroy for the sake of being right, for the EGO!</p>
<p>Lucifer….man’s EGO….wanted to exalt himself above God rather then just being the Angel of God.</p>
<p><strong>EGO / &#8220;E&#8221;dges- &#8220;G&#8221;od &#8211; &#8220;O&#8221;ut</strong></p>
<p>We have been told by religious teachers that God created man in His image but the reality is that<br />
<strong>Man has created many gods in his own imge</strong></p>
<p>And that’s exactly what most Religious Institutions have done.</p>
<p>They have exalted themselves claiming of being superior to anyone or anything else.</p>
<p>My god is the only god, my religion is the only right one, my truth is the only truth…and on…and on&#8230;</p>
<p>As a child I was raised in the catholic faith as nothing else existed in Italy in those days. I grew up with the nuns and was told that only Catholics would go to heaven.</p>
<p>Is this what Jesus the Christ, Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha and many other Enlightened Ones have taught us through the millenniums?</p>
<p>I once asked a Jewish Rabbi: <em><strong>Is there any place for God in the world of religions?</strong></em></p>
<p>His answer was: Hardly any…. just business and politics. Amen!</p>
<p>Religious Institutions don’t teach us how to grow spiritually. They only tell us how to follow their rules and to donate money so the religious leaders can have a wonderful and abundant life at the expense of many poor, uneducated, naive, innocent people that have been taught to follow their rules as being the ultimate truth.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="/img/superior.jpg" alt="" width="200" />How wealthy is the Vatican? If spirituality existed among those powerful rulers then there would not be poverty and hunger in this world of ours. Their wealth could feed millions of poor hungry people. But instead their wealth remains only among them and they exalt their power over the masses. And their wealth is totally tax free&#8230;.ah&#8230;ah&#8230;</p>
<p>Is this what Jesus would do? Think about it!</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;There is enough in the world for man&#8217;s need&#8230;but not enough for man&#8217;s greed&#8221;</strong> (Mohandas Gandhi)</em></p>
<p>Spirituality can only be experienced through the full realization of the Oneness with the Whole, with the Infinite Mind, with the Essence of our true Inner Being, the Spirit of God that dwells within each and every one of us humans and within everything that IS.</p>
<p>God is the only Source and Substance of all Creation!</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;It is God living His life through us, not God doing something for us&#8221;</strong> (Joel Goldsmith)</em></p>
<p>But unfortunately the Ego of man, Lucifer, has chosen to remain totally carnal and religions keep us from remembering Who and What we really are. We all are the children of ONE and ONLY God.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="/img/personal-spirituality.jpg" alt="" />Love for all of humanity, peace, abundance, harmony and well being are the birthright of all God’s creatures on Earth.</p>
<p>Greed is not a spiritual quality, power and control over others certainly is not a spiritual way of life.</p>
<p>Spiritual awakening and understanding would dissipate all hatred, prejudices, condemnations, judgments, resentments and only God’s Love would unite all people of this Planet to be ONE and there would be nothing but peace and brotherly love on this wonderful world that God created for us.</p>
<p>But the Ego of man never allowed the transformation and the awakening of the soul and only maintained a carnal, materialistic and greedy control over the masses, and all in the name of their own god.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“I daily thank the God that is, that the God man created does not exist.”</strong></p>
<p>Ernest Holmes</p>
<p>Founder of Science of Mind</p></blockquote>
<p>Jesus, along with many other Enlightened Beings didn’t come here to be worshipped and idolized.</p>
<p>But man has to believe in idols, something outside of himself because he is unable to recognize and acknowledge the presence of God within him.</p>
<p>Once we understand the true nature of our being then we shall live in the Presence of the Living God.</p>
<p>In these days of great evolutions new religions, new views are emerging. We think we are moving up higher, they tell us that we are ascending, but the reality is that we are still pagans and just the names of the idols are changing.</p>
<p>Along with all the Saints and many other idols, we now have Angels, Archangels, Aliens from the Pleiades, beings from Galactic Federations&#8230; and on…and on….and on&#8230;.all the way back to the old Greek Mythology!</p>
<p>But what’s the difference? Man still wants to look up to something outside of himself. And this is due to the fact that we have never been taught the truth about our true Divine nature, but only stories, myths and legends.</p>
<p>To be spiritual is to love unconditionally all of God’s creation, all of God’s people regardless of shape, form or color. To be spiritual is to be aware that we all are ONE and then only love and peace would reign on this Planet.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="/img/inquisition.jpg" alt="" width="220" />Spiritual awakening would free mankind from greed, envy, jealousy, hatred, condemnation, judgments and destruction while religions constantly perpetuate all of the above.</p>
<p>How many wars has mankind fought, how much blood has been shed, how much destruction of innocent lives has been done in the name of their own personal Power which they call their god?</p>
<p>What about the Inquisition, the four hundred years of the Crusades, the Holocaust, the KuKluxKlan… the Spanish Conquistadors in South America who burned and slaughtered thousands of innocent people and children, and God only knows how many other hateful and destructive horrors have been performed by religious leaders in the name of their own-created Deity.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="/img/compassion.jpg" alt="" width="230" />Many people use meditation and prayer which are wonderful means to connect with the Higher Self. However it is not enough to pray and meditate unless we learn to constantly live by the highest of principles, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to treat people with dignity, honesty, kindness, forgiveness, compassion and understanding.</p>
<p>“Not by the words…but by thy works ye shall be known”</p>
<p>“Let thy Light so shine that others may see it also”</p>
<p>The Father and I are ONE,</p>
<p>Dioro</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Prayer is to the quality of our lives as water is to the seed of a plant. </strong>(Gregg Braden)</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.dioro.com/img/powerful-visualization.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="210" />No prayer of supplication, but  rather visualization and imagination, which is co-creation with the <strong>Divine</strong> .</p>
<p>Prayer is not a religious experience, but rather prayer is a spiritual technology as we come to the realization that we are the co-creators with the Infinite Mind which we call God.</p>
<p>God is not a man sitting on a throne who judges, condemns, rewards or needs  to be worshipped.</p>
<p>God, the Infinite Spirit which dwells within each and every one of us is all there is and He is the life force of all life on Earth and throughout the whole Universe.</p>
<p>Prayer of supplication and invocation does not exist as God is always present within us and does not need to be begged.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>If you choose to toast your bread you don’t sit there begging and imploring the toaster to please toast your bread. Do you?  You plug it into the electrical outlet and once the toaster and the electricity become one unit….it’s done!!</p>
<p>Same thing with prayer.  Visualization and imagination are faculties of genius and, once you plug your desires and visions into the feeling/emotional oulet within you, the power within you, then it’s done! <br />
Visualization alone will not bring forth the physical manifestation of your desires. You have to see it, feel, know it, believe it and, above all, expect it! </p>
<p>One of the greatest example of prayer and faith that Jesus gave us was that he thanked God before He received because he understood that true nature of the Universal Infinite Mind.</p>
<p>He told us  <em>“That which is within you is greater than you”</em></p>
<p>Every man on Earth prays for something being a meal for his family, a house, health, wellbeing, abundance, peace…. but only a few receive because they do not believe and miuch less expect to be heard. </p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Does God discern whether you are worthy or not?  Oh…no!!! The moment you ask in prayer BELIEVING it’s done, it is. Unfortunately everyone prays but only a few believe.  “When you ask in my name BELIEVING ye shall receive”  “ Whatever the mind conceives and BELIEVES it will achieve”  And so it is!!</p>
<p>I like to quote a wonderful man, a teacher and author, the founder of Science of Mind Church,  Hernest Holmes who once said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I daily thank the God that IS that the god that man created does not exist”</p>
<p>AMEN!!</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now we need to realize that as long as we are in the human form, living on the physical Planet, we have to deal with the law of evolution which is called time. Time does not exist as we perceive it to be here on Earth. The only time there is in the Universe is always Right Now!!!  But here on this plane of physical existence we are bound by TIMING and timing is everything.  In the book of Ecclesiastics in the Old Testament of the Bible it is said:  There is a time for everything under the sun…..a time to sow….and a time to reap. A time to be born….and a time to die. A time to laugh…. and a time to cry….. and on…. and on.</p>
<p>Therefore we MUST realize that when we ask in prayer believing it is done in Spirit, but it will take time to evolve into a physical manifestation.  Once the conception begins the birth will follow, but only in God’s perfect time and in His perfect way.  God is not a magician who makes golden eggs appear out of thin air.  Oh…no!!</p>
<p>Now let’s be clear that no man on Earth can ever make a tree or a baby, but once the seed is planted it will grow and even more lavish it will grow if we nurture it, water it, feed it and love it!  The same is true with prayer. We can only plant the seed but only the Higher Mind knows how to bring it into full physical manifestation.  Once we conceive our dreams we must be loyal to them, we must nurture them, feed them, love them and fully expect them to become realities through visualization and imagination plugged into the power of  our feeling/emotional being which is the Power of God within  us.</p>
<p>“Seek ye first the kingdom… and all else shall be added unto you”</p>
<p><strong>That’s Prayer!</strong></p>
<p><strong> &#8220;Your faith shall make you whole&#8221;</p>

<h2>A Single Thought of Gratitude Raised to Heaven Is the Most  Perfect Prayer</h2>
</em>--(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)</em></blockquote>

<p>As a spiritual counselor I have dealt with many people over the years and I have a lot of compassion for all human frailties - - as God knows I have my own. I never judge people's weaknesses,  choices,  mistakes, life style or their problems.<strong> I am only here to help and encourage but never to judge</strong>.</p>

<p>However, I must say that I have no empathy for the "ingrates" because those people never have and never will have enough, regardless of the abundance as they are incapable of recognizing their blessings and values and refuse to be grateful. To me these are the true 'poor' people, even if they have money. The lack of gratitude can also produce greed as there is never enough. And it's a bottomless basket that can never be filled.</p>]]></description>

<blockquote>
<h2>A Single Thought of Gratitude Raised to Heaven Is the Most  Perfect Prayer</h2>
<p>&#8211;(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As a spiritual counselor I have dealt with many people over the years and I have a lot of compassion for all human frailties &#8211; - as God knows I have my own. I never judge people&#8217;s weaknesses,  choices,  mistakes, life style or their problems.<strong> I am only here to help and encourage but never to judge</strong>.</p>
<p>However, I must say that I have no empathy for the &#8220;ingrates&#8221; because those people never have and never will have enough, regardless of the abundance as they are incapable of recognizing their blessings and values and refuse to be grateful. To me these are the true &#8216;poor&#8217; people, even if they have money. The lack of gratitude can also produce greed as there is never enough. And it&#8217;s a bottomless basket that can never be filled.</p>
<p>Gratitude is one of the <strong>Buddha&#8217;s great Virtues</strong>, it is a gift that we owe.<span id="more-107"></span>&#8230;and we only owe it to ourselves. Why?  Because when we are grateful we are admitting that we have and then more shall be given.</p>
<h3>What Are You Programming In Your Mind?</h3>
<p>Through our thinking process we program our subconscious mind which does not judge good from bad, real from false. It only takes in what we give it and it acts upon that programming. Our mind is a most sophisticated computer so we better learn how to program this biological computer of ours  correctly with  positive and constructive thoughts for our  highest good.</p>
<p>Each time that we give thanks to the Universe we are actually admitting that we have. I give thanks every morning upon awakening for a new day of life. I give thanks each day as today I have more than I need, thank you Father! Today I have more food than I can eat, more money in my wallet than I can spend;  today I have a whole new life ahead of me. I give thanks for the functions of my body, for the sun light, for the love of God, for my friends, for my family and for the gift of LIFE, itself.</p>
<p>Unfortunately,  many people choose to dwell on the problems of life, which we all have at one time or another, with fear instead of faith, hope and gratitude.  Life is not an easy journey for anyone, but even in the midst of turmoil there is always something to be grateful for.</p>
<p>Each of us, at one point or another, go through the dark night of the soul, the valley of the shadow. Life is not always easy for anyone even for those who are viewed as highly successful. They too have their challenges.</p>
<p>One of the  main problem with many of us humans is the inability and, only too often, the unwillingness to leave the past behind.  These people  spend most of their present life regretting, resisting and resenting the past which can never be changed for the rest of eternity.  We can only learn from the past but we cannot  live in the past.  To live in the past is to become paralized thus unablle to move forth  and live in the <strong>present moment</strong>.  Then there are many of us who constantly live in fear and worry about the future and never have time to be grateful for the <strong>now</strong> which is the only time we truly have to live.   Let go of the past&#8230;.. have faith in the future&#8230;&#8230; and be grateful for the gift of <strong>Life</strong> right  <strong>now!</strong></p>
<h3>What Are You Grateful For?</h3>
<p>But even in the midst of difficulties we can always find gratitude for something. Regardless of how difficult things may be, or appear to be, always remember that we are still breathing, our hearts are beating, our legs and arms are mobil and, as long as there is life and air to breathe, there is hope. Never give into despair because God will never forsake us if we just acknowledge His Presence and His Love in gratitude which is the highest form of prayer</p>
<p>Over a year ago I lost my precious son to cancer, the most difficult lesson of my entire life. However each and every day I would thank God for giving me the strength to care for my child for many months during his illness. I would thank God that my boy was not dying alone in an empty hospital room.  He was home with his brother and I to care and be with him. He was surrounded by love by all of our family. I thanked God daily for having given me my precious son even though his life was short. When at the end he left this Planet I was grateful that he was no longer suffering and, praise God,  I still had one son left,  my younger son Jesse, to love and to cherish.  I had two choices: I could go to pieces or I could go to Peace.</p>
<p>I chose the <strong>Peace of God</strong> who was always by my side to give me strength and courage and above all acceptance of that which was destined to be.</p>
<p>I am not saying these things to show how brave I am, Oh no! Trust me when I say that I have walked many times through rough and steep roads and it was never easy. I know only too well how difficult it is to maintain faith  when everything around gives us reasons to fear and despair. The Spiritual Path is not easy and it takes courage, patience, determination and discipline to maintain faith under all circumstances.</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Narrow is the gate and straight is the way&#8230;.many are called but few enter&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I am expressing these feelings in gratitude hoping to help others to find gratitude even when life&#8217;s lessons are hard.<br />
I grew up in Italy during World War II and let me tell you that those were very difficult times for all.<br />
Our family gave thanks every day even if we only had a few potatoes or beans to eat. We gave thanks that we were still alive in the midst of bombing and destruction.<br />
On the top level of our home three bedrooms were destroyed by a bomb, yet we were grateful that we had a storage room on the lower level which we converted into one single bedroom for myself, my mother and my aunt. We still had a roof over our head and for that we were grateful and gave thanks. We were alive and still together and for that we thanked God profusely.</p>
<p>There is an old saying: <strong>&#8220;I was crying because I had no shoes&#8230;&#8230;.till I saw a man without feet&#8221;</strong> Amen!!</p>
<p>In this Wetern World we have so much more than millions of others on earth. But we always seem to want and need more. If we are grateful for that which we already have and are, then more will come as needed. Remember that abundance is of God on all levels of our being.<br />
Abundance in love and joy, abundance in good health, abundance in financial affairs.<br />
So wake up each morning and give thanks for Life itself!</p>
<p>Do you really want to glorify God?&#8230;&#8230;<strong>Be grateful!</strong></p>
<p>Peace and blessings!</p>

<h2>We Still Remain The Same</h2>
<p>Oh…yes….we have evolved indeed!</p>
<p>I have been on this planet for three fourths of a century and, rest assured, I have lived through tremendous changes and progress on this Planet.</p>
<p>Growing up in a small town on a hill of Tuscany, Italy, I have been absolutely in awe as I have witnessed the swift evolution of this world.</p>
<p>Of course  evolution  has always been a natural process since the beginning of time and always will continue to be….. throughout eternity. </p>
<p>However, as I have lived through so many extreme changes, often times I feel as though I have been on this Planet over one hundred years because of the  high speed of evolutionary progress in the past century.</p>
<p>Just not too long ago man discovered the power of electricity even though this energy had been around since the beginning of time.</p>
<p><img src="/img/evolution.jpg" class="alignright" alt="Evolution of man has stalled" width="330"/>Since the discovery of this amazing power, we have gone from candlelight to the light bulb, the telegraph,  telephone, radio, TV and now, of course, the computer has brought instant communication all over the world. Man is very intelligent even though still in a deep hypnotic state of dormancy.</p>
<p>Who could have ever thought in my youth that one day you could sit at your desk and go everywhere in the world just at the click of a button.</p>
<p>I remember  when, in my childhood, we didn’t have telephones, radios, news papers, we cooked on charcoal, we fetched the water from the public water pumps and barely enough food to survive. Talk about history!! </p>
<p>When I came to the States in 1959 I didn’t even know  they had TV, washing machines and dryers etc.<br />
And that’s just a half century ago.</p>
<p>I remember when we kids played with rocks, we sculpted with  mud after a rainy day and we created our own games as we had no toys.</p>
<p>Now children have everything and they use the computer at four-five years of age and everything is done by electronic power.</p>
<p>Can you possibly even conceive the centuries ahead when mankind will finally discover the highest of all types of energy, the Power and the Presence of God within them?</p>
<p>When man will finally remember who and what he is then he will finally learn to use his inner power…the energy within us without which we could not exist.</p>
<p><em>We are not just a body which is nothing more than a vehicle.  We are pure spirit inside a human body which enables us to perceive the physical world through our five physical senses.</em></p>
<p>Yes &#8230; we are God incarnated in many different forms, but we are still ONE with the Whole.</p>
<p>What will happen when man will finally discover his inner power and join hands with all his neighbors and bring peace and abundance for all living beings in this wonderful world that God has created for us?</p>
<p>Of course it will take a very long time yet before we finally arrive at that destination. But I honestly believe this is the destiny of this planet to become ONE where peace, justice and brotherly love will reign among all of mankind.</p>
<p>Oh&#8230;yes&#8230;we have changed and evolved so fast especially in the past century, but we have not yet changed inwardly because we are still totally attached to the physical form and to our huge Ego.</p>
<p>Greed and corruption still exist. The rule makers like religious, political and corporate structures are still controlling the masses just as the kings and emperors of the past.</p>
<p>Actually we still have emperors in Rome and nothing has changed yet except the names, costumes and maybe the language as now they speak current languages and not just Latin.</p>
<p>Christmas has just passed and on the news I saw thousands of people in St. Peter Square in Rome worshipping the Pope while he was “reading” his holy speech to the world from the highest balcony of the Vatican.</p>
<p>Is this what Jesus would have done?</p>
<p><img src="/img/crowd.jpg" class="alignleft" alt="Jesus would have been in the crowd, not standing above"/>We worship this truly Holy Man, but we never have and still don’t follow His teachings. Jesus would have been in the square to mingle with His brothers and sharing His love with and for them. He would be there with the crowds to heal the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked and not so high above and totally distant from the people He loved.</p>
<p>Oh .. my brother Jesus, what have we done in your name?</p>
<p>Wars, prejudice, hatred, judgment, envy, competition, greed and self righteousness still prevail among mankind.</p>
<p>Why do we still have wars? </p>
<p>Wars against cancer, wars against drugs, wars against the gay community, war against terrorism and on and on .. and on and on..</p>
<p>We have gone from the sword to atomic power thus we are still the same. God the Creator&#8230;.man the destroyer!</p>
<p>There is even a Christian hymn sung in many churches </p>
<blockquote><p>“Onward Christian soldiers…marching as to war”</p></blockquote>
<p>Is this what the real God wants us to do in His Holy name?  Marching onto war? Wow&#8230;what is wrong with mankind?</p>
<p><img src="/img/greed-idols.jpg" alt="Greed, worshiping idols, and turning our back on God" class="alignright"/>We are still pagans, still worshiping idols, oracles, saints&#8230; and now, in this present age, we are creating new Galactic idols, new religions, new myths&#8230;.but we still remain the same.<br />
Oh&#8230;my&#8230;is there any place left within us humans for the real and only &#8220;One God&#8221;, the true Creator, the only Substance and Essence of all that is?</p>
<p>We also have idols in other areas of life and not just in the religious world. We idolize certain figures in the field  of sports, entertainment and other areas of fame, glamor, glitter and of monetary success. </p>
<p>It seems that we humans always have the need to worship something outside of our selves.</p>
<p>I read a few days ago that someone had bought a diamond ring that belonged to the actress Elizabeth Taylor and the cost was almost nine million dollars.</p>
<p>Vanity . .. vanity &#8230; all is vanity &#8230; Amen!</p>
<p>My God&#8230; how can we humans be still so sound asleep?</p>
<p>Yes&#8230; we have changed&#8230; but we have remained pagans and we are still perpetuating the old Egyptian, Greek and Roman mythology. </p>
<p>Many still believe in a judgmental, vengeful and punishing God. </p>
<p>They still believe the way of the &#8220;cross&#8221; to be the only way to find salvation. Salvation from what?</p>
<p>Suffering, self denial, poverty and self inflicted sacrifice are the way that will lead them to find god, his forgiveness and acceptance of their souls.</p>
<p>Oh&#8230;.my dear beloved Father/Mother God&#8230;.when will your chindren finally awaken from their deep hypnotic state of dormancy? </p>
<p>We humans are still totally spiritually unconscious.</p>
<p>Oh yes&#8230; the names have changed, the attire has changed, the words have changed&#8230; but we are still the same.</p>
<p>Man seems to always need to reach out to something outside of himself and never realizes his Inner Power within and his Oneness with the Whole.</p>
<p>The intellect of man has evolved to an extremely high level, science has made incredible progress in the field of technology, electronics, medicine and many other areas and we have indeed come such a long way.</p>
<p>But what about our spiritual being? Nothing has progressed in this aspect of our lives. </p>
<p>Man doesn’t believe nor does he know the true nature of his being. YES&#8230; we are still pagans! We are still spiritually dormant, totally unconscious while the EGO still prevails.</p>
<p>I agree with the Hindu philosophy that this world is maya&#8230; only an illusion.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Pure consciousness is the only reality. Physical Universe is virtual reality”.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is my highest hope and dream to see this world coming together where peace, love and brotherhood will finally prevail and all of mankind will join hands in the final realization that we all are ONE with the Whole!</p>
<blockquote><p>“The Father and I are one. Wherever I stand is holy ground. All the Father/Mother God has is mine”.<br />
(Joel Goldsmith)
</p></blockquote>

How do we achieve such a state of mind… the ultimate state of being?

<blockquote><h2>“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal” </h2>
<p>&#8211; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the sons of God&#8221; (Matt. 5:9)</em>
</p></blockquote>
<p>How do we achieve such a state of mind… the ultimate state of being?</p>
<p>Jesus, along with many other spiritual teachers, came here to teach us how to find the “Peace that passeth all understanding” but we humans have truly missed the mark. </p>
<p>We have prayed for thousands of years for Peace on Earth, but we cannot have peace on this Planet until we come to the full realization that we are ONE, we ARE  the sons of God, we live in God’s kingdom because none of us humans  has created this Planet.</p>
<p>Actually we humans know very little even though some of us think we know it all.</p>
<p>We don’t know where we come from, how we got here, where we go next. We don’t know where we are when we are aleep, we don’t know how we go to sleep, how we awaken in the morning, how we breathe and our hearts beat, how the planets rotate in such perfect order around the sun.</p>
<p>We really don’t know much about anything,  but the God within us knows how, when, what, where and it’s time that we humans finally surrender  to the Higher Self.</p>
<p>“That which is within you is greater than you”  Amen!</p>
<p>Unfortunately religions have taught us that only after physical death we can enter the kingdom of God. And that is nonsense because we already are in the Kingdom and in the Presence of  Living God.</p>
<p>Without the God within us, the one and only Source and Substance of all that is, we could not exist.</p>
<p>However, we humans seem to  know  a lot when it comes to judgments and condemnations. My God is better than your god, my religion is the only truth, I am white and you are black, I am a Christian and you are not, you are a foreigner and  I am a citizen and on…and on…</p>
<p>Why can’t we accept the truth that all of us are brothers, all citizens of Planet Earth, all children of one and only God?</p>
<p>Why do we always have to judge and condemn any one who is not like ourselves? It is very difficult for me to understand the separation among mankind.</p>
<p>Can you just imagine how wonderful this world of ours would be if man would seek and create Peace instead of wars? </p>
<p>What would life be like without hatred, prejudices, judgments, self righteousness and greed?</p>
<p>What if each of us would join hands with our brothers of all colors, all races, all cultures, all genders, all religious backgrounds?</p>
<p>Would that be Heaven on Earth? Yes…indeed! </p>
<p>There would not be millions of people without a home, food, health care and an education for their children. How many millions of God’s children could we help with picks and shovels, with chalk and blackboards, with books along with good teachers?</p>
<p>We, the civilized world, could go and teach those millions how to farm their land, build homes, roads, bridges, hospitals, educational institutions and well being for all of humanity. </p>
<p>The cost of it all would be just a fraction of what it costs to build bombs and other methods of destruction.</p>
<p>God the Creator….man the destroyer.</p>
<p>We can never have Peace on Earth  as long as we are driven by fears, greed, hatred, prejudices which are all illusions of the Ego. The human Ego is the true separation from God, from the Infinite Mind.</p>
<p>“Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me” is a song that is being sung in many churches on Sunday services.</p>
<p>YES!!! First of all we must find Peace within our own selves, with family members , friends, neighbors and  strangers instead of always dwelling on retaliating, judging, blaming, condemning others for our unhappiness,  pointing our fingers with threats and anger.</p>
<p>Human beings seem to always want to change the whole world, but seldom willing to change themselves first.</p>
<p>We need to find peace within ourselves individually before we can bring peace on Earth. </p>
<p>Peace can only be found when we finally let go of all our judgments against others, all resistance and condemnations.  Let go and let God!!</p>
<p>Only through love, acceptance and forgiveness can we find Peace and it can only begin with “ME”.</p>
<p>It appears that in many families, organizations and many other groups, among friends, co-workers and neighbors  hatred, resentment, blame and revenge abound.</p>
<p>If I can find peace within myself and you find peace within yourself then, little by little and only by example, we can teach and spread Peace to every person on earth until we all find union, love and brotherhood. <strong>Let the Light overcome the darkness!</strong></p>
<p>We humans have been very successful all through the millenniums in spreading fears, disease, lack, poverty and total ignorance. </p>
<p>We have done very well in polluting the earth with poisonous programming through thoughts and deeds. All we have to do now is to re-program our consciousness with “new awareness”, new hope, new positive, constructive, loving thoughts and deeds and then Life will become Heaven on Earth.</p>
<p><img src="/img/unity.jpg" class="alignright">Love is the only Light that shall overcome the darkness of man’s world and then, only Peace, will reign among mankind</p>
<p>Shalom, Salam, Peace<br />

<h3>Worry is praying for the things <em><strong>we do not want</strong></em></h3>
<p>Being that I was born and raised in the old countries, under the teachings and the rules of deep ignorance, especially those made by the religious leaders of the time, I grew up believing that worry was not only necessary, but ultimately it was the only way to show our love and caring for ourselves and others. It was a spiritual virtue according to the authorities of those days.</p>

<p>Worry-Guilt-Fear were our “modus vivendi”</p>

<p>Who are you if you don’t worry? What’s the matter with you…have you no feelings? You have to worry about your bills, financial affairs, the kids, the safety of your loved ones, the job, the political situations, the general economy, about what others think, the weather and on…and on…and on…</p>]]></description>

<h3>Worry is praying for the things <em><strong>we do not want</strong></em></h3>

<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.dioro.com/img/worry-prayer.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>y, but ultimately it was the only way to show our love and caring for ourselves and others. It was a spiritual virtue according to the authorities of those days.</p>
<p>Worry-Guilt-Fear were our “modus vivendi”</p>
<p>Who are you if you don’t worry? What’s the matter with you…have you no feelings? You have to worry about your bills, financial affairs, the kids, the safety of your loved ones, the job, the political situations, the general economy, about what others think, the weather and on…and on…and on…</p>
<p>We humans live in the past or in the future, in memory of yesterday with regrets or in constant anticipation of tomorrow&#8230; worrying&#8230;.wondering&#8230;.. planning&#8230;.. but never living in the now and &#8220;NOW&#8221; is the only time we have to live.</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course if you listen to the daily news you cannot help but worrying because fear is a  powerful epidemic and it spreads very fast.</p>
<p>Oh…….my…..God…..how I welcome the New Age!</p>
<p>It is now a very special time on Planet Earth as our collective Consciousness is shifting to a much higher level of knowing and understanding.<br />
It is time to awaken from a long… deep… hypnotic state of dormancy and ignorance  to the realization of our true nature.<br />
Man is now gradually and slowly becoming aware of his own potential, the Essence of his True  Being. We are finally beginning to remember Who and What we truly are&#8230; Hallelujah!!</p>
<p>This awareness of the Higher Self within us that we are finally, after thousands of years, beginning to discover and utilize, will revolutionize  the old belief systems and bring Light in our lives so we no longer have to live in the darkness of the past.<br />
Worry is not a normal nor a healthy state of mind as some believe, but actually it is the most negative and destructive way of life.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The things I feared the most came upon me” said Job</p></blockquote>
<p>The more we worry, the more we attract that which we worry about and fear the most. The Universal Law of Attraction will only bring to us that which we ask for. This is the unchangeable Law, totally impartial and it will always give us what we focus upon&#8230;.good….or……bad. The choice is always and only our own.<br />
Worry is a powerful trouble/problem magnet!<br />
&#8220;Whatever the mind conceives and &#8220;believes&#8221; it will always achieve!&#8221;&#8230;..good&#8230;.or&#8230;.bad.</p>
<p>Of course, as long as we live inside this human body in this physical world, life will present to us many challenges. Life is a tough teacher and not always an easy journey especially for those of us who come here to learn, to grow, to evolve and emerge into our true Spiritual nature.</p>
<p>Even the great Masters had moments of fear, doubt, anger. But the thing is not to dwell on the negative emotions. When fear and worry creep into your consciousness… stop it….right there…..right now!!!  “Get ye behind me Satan”.</p>
<p>If you pick up a boiling tea cattle and it burns your hand…..drop the darn thing!! But many of us keep holding unto it while complaining and crying about getting burnt.</p>
<p>Discipline yourself to change the negative emotions and turn your thoughts to the truth of the God within you Who will never forsake you and always comes up with solutions to our problems…….if we just allow it to be so.</p>
<p>If you truly have faith in the power and the presence of God within you, then you shall not worry, but instead you will ask “believing” and the solution will always be shown to you.</p>
<p>“Never tell God how big your problem is, but rather tell your problem how Big God Is”.</p>
<p>We humans always seem to easily believe in the negativity of life. We fear it, we believe it, we expect it and, sure enough, we get it……every time.<br />
Why can’t we focus on our goals, dreams and desires with faith, “believing” and always “expecting” the best to come? The Law of Attraction is impartial and it will always give us what we ask, believe and expect.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.dioro.com/img/electricity.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>What happened after man discovered electricity?</h3>
<p>Because of this newly discovered energy, which had been here and all around us from the beginning of time, the world has progressed more in the past century than it had in many thousands of years. Who ever would have thought in the past centuries that there would be instant global communication all over the Planet? And this is only because we discovered this invisible energy, so wonderful, so useful, so powerful and yet always available and extremely eager and willing to serve us.</p>
<p>This is the Era when many, actually more and more of us, are finally discovering the power within us, this highest form of Energy which is the Essence of our True Being, and shall learn to tune into it, channel it, utilize it  by paying attention to our inner feelings, our intuition, our Higher Self. We can then share this wonderful and newly discovered energy with the world, we will shed our Light (our knowledge) so that one day all of mankind will live in a world where nothing but Light will shine and all we have to do is just to plug into the electrical/spiritual outlet within us and turn the switch on.<br />
Teach others about this Divine Truth, this wonderful power within us. Not by your words, but rather by your deeds.</p>
<p><strong>&#8221; Let thy Light so shine before men that they may see your good works&#8221; Matthew 5:14/1</strong></p>
<p>Our brain is a most sophisticated computer and will not judge good from bad, it just gives us what we program it to do and that is the truth that has been kept a secret from the masses for centuries after centuries……..</p>
<p>We always knew some of the Bible verses like: “Whatever ye sow…so shall ye also reap”  “As a man thinks in his heart….so is he”   In Texas we say: “What goes around…comes around”  but we never fully understood the meaning of these wise teachings of Universal Truth.</p>
<p>I stopped worrying a long time ago because in 75 years of my life I have learned that God is all there IS, He/She/It is the Essence and Substance of my being and of all life in every form.</p>
<p>I stopped worrying because I discovered that “The Kingdom of God is within me” as my most beloved brother Jesus told us.</p>
<p>I stopped worrying because He has always led me by the hand and shown me the road ahead of me and I have never got lost. So why should I continue to worry? If I learn to stay out of God’s way with full trust, He always works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.</p>
<p>Someone once said: If we humans could live our lives with the same faith with which we go to sleep each night, we would always be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.</p>
<h3>Sleep and dreams are still a mystery to us.</h3>
<p>Oh… yes…. we now have ways to measure the brain waves, we are aware of the different levels of brain activity and we have indeed progressed, but sleep and dreams are still an unknown to science.</p>
<p>Yet, after a day of work, we look forward to go to sleep. Often we take pills to induce sleep and it is such a wonderful feeling.</p>
<p>While we are in a total unconscious state of mind our lungs keep breathing, our hearts keep beating, the blood circulates, the planets keep rotating in perfect order around the sun and all is well and in perfect order.</p>
<p>However, as soon as we awaken, we give thanks to God for doing such a wonderful job during our hours of restful sleep, but once we step out of bed we get ready to take full charge of our lives. We don’t need God’s guidance, we are in total control so we start worrying, living in fear and making a mess of things all over again and attracting all that we fear the most.</p>
<p>Not to worry does not mean not to care. Oh…no…but rather, because we care, we must NOT worry!</p>
<p>Life is not always an easy journey for anyone of us, and we all go through the valley of the shadow at different times.</p>
<p>If a loved one is ill, if a friend loses his job, if our neighbors are going through difficulties with their children, when we lose a loved one and in many other occasions, of course we do care and have to deal with the difficult lessons  and situations that life presents to us.</p>
<p>Not to worry does not mean to be indifferent to the difficulties in our lives and the lives of others.</p>
<p>However worry is not going to bring the solution to the problem, whatever it may be. By worrying we attract more and more difficulties instead of finding the solutions.</p>
<p>Of course we all have moments of fear, concern, doubt and we shall continue to have those negative emotions as long as we are in a physical body. Even Jesus had moments of anger, doubt and fear. It’s part of being human.</p>
<p>The thing to do is not to dwell on those negative thoughts, but instead we need to be still and go within, (plug into the electrical outlet within us), visualizing, believing, expecting the healing and the final positive solution of whatever the situation is and trust that it shall be so. This is true prayer!</p>
<p>“Judge not from appearances but judge righteous judgment”.</p>
<p>God’s delays are not God’s denials and only too often His denials are blessings in disguise. But we realize this truth only in time as we look back and learn from our past experiences.</p>
<p>We live and move forward, but only learn when looking backwards.</p>
<p>Yes indeed……the physical appearances of life give us many reasons to be afraid and to worry, but we must rise above those appearances and see the Truth of God Who never forsakes us and never wants us to suffer as some people believe.</p>
<p>“All things are possible for those that trust in the Lord”</p>
<p>That is prayer….. worry is not of God.</p>
<p>Always trust the Higher Power within you and solutions will always appear.</p>
<p>Please stop worrying……. be at peace!</p>
<p>Desire-believe-expect the best to come and, in God’s perfect time, it always will.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<img class="alignright" src="http://dioro.com/img/time-to-awaken.jpg" alt="" width="170" />I would like to share some of my feelings and understanding of what <strong>spiritual counseling</strong> is all about.

The <strong>psychic </strong>world has become <em>a huge business</em>. There are many <em>psychic lines</em> with thousands of readers all over the world and are daily growing out of tree branches.

Actually the reality is that we are all psychic as "psyche" in Greek means mind, spirit, soul, breath...thus we all have that innate quality within us. It is part of our spiritual nature, but unfortunately no one has ever taught us about the gift of "intuition", so most of us do not trust it and, instead of listening to the Intuitive Self, we reject our inner feelings with rational and logical thinking.]]></description>

<p>The <strong>psychic </strong>world has become <em>a huge business</em>. There are many <em>psychic lines</em> with thousands of readers all over the world and are daily growing out of tree branches.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://dioro.com/img/time-to-awaken.jpg" alt="" />Actually the reality is that we are all psychic as &#8220;psyche&#8221; in Greek means mind, spirit, soul, breath&#8230;thus we all have that innate quality within us. It is part of our spiritual nature, but unfortunately no one has ever taught us about the gift of &#8220;intuition&#8221;, so most of us do not trust it and, instead of listening to the Intuitive Self, we reject our inner feelings with rational and logical thinking.</p>
<p>Personally I prefer the word &#8220;<strong>Intuition</strong>&#8221; as the word psychic is too misunderstood and abused as  there are no miracle workers with supernatural powers.</p>
<p>Oh&#8230;yes&#8230;.miracles do happen every day in our lives, but only God can perform miracles and we need to develop the awareness and the gratitude to recognize them.</p>
<p>First of all I would like to clear the word supernatural.</p>
<p><span id="more-104"></span>What we call supernatural is actually very natural as we are not just human beings with a physical body, but we are much more and our basic nature is totally Spiritual.  Here I am not referring to religions as I respect anyone&#8217;s belief system, but rather I am referring to the Power and Presence of God within us, our true &#8220;Essence&#8221;. And it is the same God for all regardless of race, color or religion.</p>
<p>&#8220;Be still and know that I am God&#8221; It&#8217;s now time on Planet Earth to awaken from our long dormancy of ignorance and to allow the imprisoned splendor to escape&#8230;.as Robert Browning said.</p>
<p>It is time for all of us to awaken, to open our eyes to the truth and the splendor of our soul. We are all children of the One and Only God. In aramaic, the language that Jesus spoke, the name for God was &#8220;Essence&#8221;.</p>
<p>We are spiritual beings and the Essence of God resides within us if we just realize it and utilize it for good, with humility and gratitude and with love for all mankind. Jesus told us &#8220;The Kingdom of God is within you&#8230;.go and tell the people&#8221;</p>
<p>I am a student and a follower of &#8220;The Infinite Way&#8221; by Joel Goldsmith who has been one of my best teachers in this lifetime. Joel never organized the Infinite Way. He believed that organization brings corruption because of the ego&#8217;s competitive nature and greed for power.</p>
<p>&#8220;All things are possible for those that trust in the Lord&#8221;</p>
<p>Jesus told us: &#8220;If I speak of myself I bear witness to a lie. Of my own self I can do nothing, but God within me&#8230;.He doeth the works&#8221;.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get off our supertitions, the old oudated belief systems as we are now moving into a new awareness about our true nature and the nature of God. This is the 21st Century and the whole Planet is gradually awakening to new realities, to a better understanding about the power of the human mind and the spiritual nature of mankind.</p>
<p>&#8220;A house divided upon itself cannot stand&#8221;</p>
<p>We are divided within ourselves as we continue ignoring our spiritual nature, our inner intuitive being from the logical rational mind. The rational mind is a necessary tool to function in the physical world, but we must remember that there is another and higher part of us which needs to be united with the physical aspect of our being, and then we shall stand strong in our faith and knowingness.</p>
<p>&#8220;The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant. We have created a society where we honor the servant and have forgotten the gift&#8221; Albert Einstein.</p>
<p>There are many wonderful teachers of truth available in this time of great evolution and awakening on Planet Earth. If you are willing to evolve into a higher level of consciousness, you shall then attract the right teacher for you.</p>
<p>When the student is ready&#8230;.the teacher will appear!</p>
<p>I would like however to suggest a few wonderful Spiritual Teachers that you may or may not be aware of.</p>
<p>Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center</p>
<p>Abraham Hicks by Ester and Jerry Hicks, Teachers and Authors</p>
<p>Luoise Hay, Author and Founder of the Hay House Inc.</p>
<p>Neal Donald Walsch, Author of Conversations with God</p>
<p>Eackhart Tolle, Author of The Power of Now and the New Earth</p>
<p>Bishop John Shelby Spong: A new Christianity for a New World</p>
<p>Joel Goldsmith &#8211; The Infinite Way</p>
<p>The Silva Ultra Mind System by Jose Silva</p>
<p>Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn &#8211; Mindfulness</p>
<p>Namaste&#8217;,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>In whatever religion you have been taught, however you have been brought up, and however you have understood your teachers&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>In this levels you will understand and grasp the message. It is not enough that this message be believed. It is a message to be lived.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.dioro.com/img/oneness.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="201" />The essence of Universal Religion is <strong>Peace and Truth</strong>, with Love for and Kindness to all the creatures of the earth. Now it is the time to express this essence in your own life.</p>
<p>A beginning must be made, and the place to begin is within and in yourself. You would reform the world?  Begin with yourself brother! The message of the unreformed reformer seldom inspires reformation.</p>
<p>The heart of all Religion is Love. And righteousness, which is love in action, is the fulfillment of Religion.  Love not only family and friends&#8230;&#8230;for Love limited is love denied.</p>
<p><strong>Seek </strong><strong>Peace</strong> within yourself and seek, too, within yourself the <strong>Divine Breath of Life</strong>. Persist on these things! Do not let up for a single moment!</p>
<p>Through your faith and through your deeds you shape your life and help shape the life of others as well. What a responsibility! The Spirit finds in you its agent and also its partner, and to the degree that you are aware of this and act on it, your life is enriched.  A revelation will occur to you&#8230;.a revelation higher than your most exalted dreams.</p>
<p>The New Age is coming, and in it there will  be a realization of the<strong> Oneness</strong> of all. Differences between the various Religions will disappear.  The good, which is in each of them, will be fused and will become the common goal of all mankind.</p>
<p>Know that you have the power to choose! Choose love, not hate; choose gentleness, not violence; choose holiness, not evil!</p>
<p>Dare to believe that the Reign of <strong>Love and Peace</strong> is coming soon! Ready yourself for it! Ready yourself for it with deeds of righteousness! Righteousness is the door-opener, and beyond the door is Love.</p>
<p>May <strong>Power Divine</strong> enter every aspect of your life endowing it with the rewards of material accomplishments, the treasure of purposeful existence, and the eternal Light of spiritual achievement!</p>

All of us humans make our own fortune according to our thinking/feeling nature which will always guide us on the path of our choices, good or bad. The choice is only our own. No one can ever lead us to do anything we don’t choose to follow, again good or bad. We do have free will and God’s great gift to us is to have given us the power to choose.

Good and constructive thinking/feeling emotions will <strong>co-create with the Universe</strong> that which is good and constructive. If in the spring you go in your garden and plant roses and/or poison oak, the earth will not argue with you, it will give you whatever you saw.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all I need to say that a psychic/spiritual Reader is not and should not be a fortune teller as such thing <em>does not exist</em>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.dioro.com/img/co-create.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="230" />All of us humans make our own fortune according to our thinking/feeling nature which will always guide us on the path of our choices, good or bad. The choice is only our own. No one can ever lead us to do anything we don’t choose to follow, again good or bad. We do have free will and God’s great gift to us is to have given us the power to choose.</p>
<p>Good and constructive thinking/feeling emotions will <strong>co-create with the Universe</strong> that which is good and constructive. If in the spring you go in your garden and plant roses and/or poison oak, the earth will not argue with you, it will give you whatever you saw.</p>
<p>Again…good…or…bad, the choice is only and always our own.</p>
<p>If you want Light then turn the switch on, but if you keep it on the off position you cannot blame anyone or anything for living in darkness. The power of electricity gives us light and the power of God within us does the same, but we have to turn the switch on. “Be still and know that I AM God”…..listen to the still small voice within your soul and there you shall always find truth, peace, love and light along with inner guidance.</p>
<p><span id="more-1"></span>I always tell my people: If I am correct in my interpretations of you, then it will resonate in your own heart, otherwise do not believe it. I can ultimately reflect back to you only that which you already know but have difficulty believing.</p>
<p>All I can do is to guide people to listen to their heart and above all to trust their inner voice. Unfortunately most of us have never been taught to listen to our inner being. “Be logical, be practical…be rational…etc..” that’s what we have always been taught. Right and wrong do not exist except in our perception thus judgment of the present appearances where seldom we find truth.</p>
<p>A READER is a travel Agent. Clients need guidance and advice on how to get on the specific airplane that will bring them to their desired destination, but of course they must do the traveling. Some people miss the flight and then some catch the wrong flight. Their choice will ultimately decide the outcome of their experiences.</p>
<p>A READER is a teacher. A teacher doesn’t do the students’ homework as they would never learn their lessons. A teacher shows the student how to learn, but they must do the learning.</p>
<p>A READER is a nurse for the soul. At times a reader must patch the wounds, cleanse the wounds of fear and doubts with soothing encouragement and love coupled with compassion.</p>
<p>A READER gives….never takes. He or she will receive their monetary reward for a job well done at the end of their work, but they always must give the very best of themselves with truth, love and conpassion and never with greed. Greed belongs to the world of man and never in the world of God.</p>
<p>A READER will never take away from the people. A READER will never take away her people’s dreams. If a Reader were to direct her/his people’s course of destiny (and many do) she/he would take away from the people their right to choose which is the greatest gift given to us all and that’s the power to choose.</p>
<p>A good READER who truly understands her responsibility in life and who also understands the Law of Karma would never do that. A Reader gives of her/himself in aiding people to achieve their goals according to the desire of their hearts.</p>
<p>A READER gives love and hope to replace fear and despair.</p>
<p>A READER is a friend. A true friend accepts you as you are and desires the highest good for all people.</p>
<p>A READER is a father confessor whose vow is to never reveal people’s private affairs to anyone. A reader will listen and better yet will tune into people and know their innermost feelings, but only with compassion and never with judgment.</p>
<p>A READER is an entertainer. When you are on stage you’ve got to perform. A performer has to keep the audience involved or she/he will loose it.</p>
<p>A READER is like a rope thrown at you when you are at the bottom of the pit and can’t see your way out. That rope, if you choose to climb, will get you on top of that big wall where you’ll be able to see ahead again.</p>
<p>A READER is someone who gets you out of the forest so you can see the trees again.</p>
<p>A READER is the eye doctor who will help you heal your vision so you can see colors again or for the first time.</p>
<p>A READER is fair. She will not judge from appearances, but rather will always search for the truth in any matter.</p>
<p>A READER is impartial and will only desire the highest good in all people’s lives.</p>
<p>A READER cannot be led by emotions, but rather by her/his impartial observations of what is thus leading people on their own individual path.</p>
