Beliefs, religions, schools of thought, the meaning of life all together they are only theories. In all major religions, the message has been simple: love each other, live in peace and harmony with nature, thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, love thy neighbour and so on and so on. However, most of the devastations and massacres that happened in history on the basis of belief and when religion was put into practice. So the question arises of who is to be blamed for all the hatred and differences spread among mankind in the world. Is it God or people who misuse the power of religion and mislead the masses into the black hole of resentment towards each other? Read the rest of this entry »

It is for sure that there are many opinions regarding Globalization, whether positive or negative the question yet stays as how are we all affected by it. As the latest survey shows majority of the younger generations are entirely convinced that the global economic and cultural phenomenon is the solution to many of the world’s problems and the only way to overcome poverty and improve underdeveloped countries and nations by introducing them to the new global and unified economy.

By some this group is the New World Order and the global shadow government, whilst some go to the extremes of calling them the next Anti-Christ. Some religious groups believe that since the formation of the group the sole intention has been to speed up the prophecy and give birth to the Anti-Christ so the Devil worshipers can rule the Earth and put an end to mortal souls’ salvation. Some might think that such thoughts are too radical and some might not even believe in God, Devil and religions, yet for people who do believe in Satan, the reign of the Prince of Darkness is their ultimate goal. More rational explanations and conspiracies might not support such believes and simply place Bilderbergers as the power crazy financial tycoons and political leaders who under the name of Globalisation dream of ruling all humanity.

The traditional liberal ideal was stated clearly in Martin Luther King’s famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, delivered in August 1963 in Washington, DC:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Since the early Egyptians we presumably have always observed and speculated about the physical differences among individuals and groups. For example, the ancient sacred text called Book of Gates identifies four categories that are now conventionally labelled “Egyptians”, “Asiatics”, “Libyans”, and “Nubians”, but such distinctions tended to conflate differences as defined by physical features such as skin tone, with tribal and national identity. Julian the Apostate was an early observer of the differences in humans, based on ethnic, cultural, and geographic traits, but as the idea of race had not yet been conceptualized, he believed that they were the result of “Providence”.

On the Monday following Easter, friends and families get together and have picnics on the side of the River Tormes to celebrate Lunes de Aguas (Water Monday). After a long forty-day month of Lent Semana Santa breaks the fast and churches and convents organize stunning processions and marches through out the city of Salamanca, yet the fun does not end with Sunday and Monday the 20th brings a new dawn, which invites everybody out in the afternoon for a huge picnic by the river.

Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But Easter means much more. It is one of the oldest and most important day for Christians and the dawn of Easter Sunday with its message of new life is the high point of the Christian year.Pagan traditions give us the English word “Easter” which comes from the word “Eostre”. The Anglo-Saxon word for April was “Eostre-monath” (the month of openings). However, it should be remembered that Christians celebrated the resurrection of Christ long before the word “Easter” was used, and the word they used for the celebration was “Pascha”, which is derived from and linked to the Jewish festival of Passover.

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool’s Day, sometimes called All Fool’s Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn’t a “first April Fool’s Day” that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring. It is more likely that this modern holiday started right after the changing of Julian Calendar to Gregorian Calendar which changed the 1st day of the year from beginning of April to January the first. Although, many people started celebrating New Year in January many others either did not get informed or simply refused to change their old traditions of celebrating New Year on April first. These backward folk were labelled as “April fools” by the general populace. Read the rest of this entry »

The secrecy and cynical agendas of these people has risen lots of questions in the minds of honest and hardworking citizens of so called democratic societies and baffles them that how is it possible for only 120 people to decide the fate of billions living in this planet and what gives them the power to do so anyway. Clearly living in a free world means to be informed of the decisions that will directly effect our lives and the future of mankind. Read the rest of this entry »

It surely must be a blessing to have seen, known and learned from one’s father for when I will become one I shant know how to be one. I dreamt of a man so strong courageous and kind when I was a child, who held my hand so tight yet so gentle and took me through shadows that is called life. That man taught me the way showed me the window through darkness, the light to light my way. Everyday I jumped out of bed to embrace him everyday I was disappointed for he wasn’t there for I was awake and I knew that he had gone far far away. Every night I went to bed in joy of meeting him again for our next adventure through the shadows of reality. Read the rest of this entry »

Dreams can be a reflection of our subconscious or even process of sorting out unnecessary data by our brains while our bodies are at rest. When analyzing dreams it is important to try and determine what has instigated the dream. Dreams can result from a variety of factors. Read the rest of this entry »
