Eu escrevo da minha vida, e agora sobre a minha recuperação da saúde .

I try to help nature and my arrogance comes.

I try to help nature and my arrogance comes.

My arrogance is difficult to reduce. But I want to.

In a way it lessens when I’m sure of something.

And even an epileptic fit when I want to prove something that I am sure.

But when I want to prove myself I attack myself.

I ran away from my school Lycee Pasteur and I was 13 years old. Or when I was at college in Ny and wanted to go to Amsterdam. And my master’s degree and my doctorate at LSE in London were about Israel and Palestine, and I wanted to leave
ˋ
In my quest to defend Palestine, not even being Jewish, Christian or Muslim. And wanting peace from everyone.

And I always debated a way of being a mental elite. I ran away

Well, I was losing areas of my brain and body, but the anger that I disagreed with made me even attack my body when I disagreed.

Well, now my new discord area is how they destroy nature.

I try to compost, and recycle, and plant.

My house is on the seafront and I live with my husband. I’ve heard so many things.

“You are poor, you are rich, you should have a child, you should adopt, you should have security. You are leaving litter, animals are coming”

But André knows, says nothing, but I do. I’m going to teach my arrogance

“Don’t put cars in front of my house. Don’t cut down the trees, and watch the Documentaries Fertile soil. We are vegetarians and vegans. Trash is composting and recycling. From small rubbish it goes to the trash. Fruit composting has been reborn.”

But this arrogance later made me regret it and made me regret it a lot. And I just want to be able to help nature.

When the sea enters my house, I admire nature more. I just want to connect with the same people who are in my path. They know that they are much stronger than us human beings

Nothing about my path matters to me, nothing about demonstrating wealth or poverty. Neither have children or adopt, and security
No meu caminho também parei de ligar de coisas políticas, filosofia, ou teologia

Every day, living in front of the sea, the existence of my journey, of my arrogance, is to defend nature

When the sea comes in we try to observe what nature wants. These are my gods

I’ll leave the article that you can even hear the sound of the tree, and the one in the documentary. This is our path. I just have to learn to displace the arrogance in my mind.

But as my friend Ana Paula said

““Your mind needs to become familiar with letting go, the flow.

This issue of arrogance is a lack of acceptance, a lack of relaxation, what others think belongs to others…

What they do you can’t change them, the only person you can change is yourself
🙏🏼”

But we need to help nature to live.

Love
Jules

Kiss the Ground

It seams that food can help my mind

Dear ones, I want to share. I was a vegetarian and once the doctor told me that I needed to eat meat. Against my desire I ate. It gave me high cholesterol and I went back to vegetarianism. Worried about my immunity, I started eating a lot of eggs and cheese.

My exam when I was vegetarian said I had cholesterol and my neurologist said it was genetic. I said I would try being vegan and find out. I’ve been vegan since November 2nd and I feel great. I had my blood test and LDL 250 as a vegetarian. Then decide to try being vegan. Now I took the exam and it was 100 LDL

Well, in my family we are free to choose what to eat. My father even said “I came from a family that lives to eat, and my mother eats to live”

Well, I would eat it with pleasure and not even realize where the food comes from. I have lived in many countries (Brazil, Argentina, Australia, USA, UK, Netherlands, Thailand, Peru,

To complement my happiness I watched the Netflix documentary, “You are what you eat”. A vegan and carnivore test. And our diet is also related to the mind. This documentary is a test with identical twins. Of course, so are food production and gymnastics.

Well, after my second coma and lots of brain injuries in 2017, I didn’t know what I should eat either. I started eating Japanese food, fish, vegetables, salad and fruit and I didn’t even pay attention, just pleasure. I thought I ate very well. But when my friend Sho, who I’m close to, passed away and I went to the hospital in 2021. Always when it seems like it’s an emotional thing, but at the hospital they thought I had too little vitamin B12 and that I should eat meat.

But last year, in November, I took a blood test and it showed that my cholesterol was so high that I had to take medication. My doctor thought it was genetic, but I said I was going to be vegan. Still traveling with my parents in Spain, on the wine route. I managed and walked a lot

But when I took the exam and it had been 2 months since I even knew if I was going to fall, it really moved me. And when the documentary showed the twins’ exams and their health, it brought me enormous gratitude. It is from Netflix

It seemed to me that genetics can be modified. Extremely happy because in my freshness I will become like my mother and mine

You could even call it fresh. But I want to eat to live, and I’m loving being vegan. Even more so to live. And be part of defending the Amazon and animals

.

Last year, I told about my first coma, that I stayed for 30 days and a goddess (Or Tara) came and told me why do you want to live? At that time, my grandmother said, and my boyfriend.

Today I would say, and I say, “I live to share, a fall is a gift, and for me to learn when negative thoughts come and discover the beauty, and see the positive side. ”.

And only when I started I learned why it comes on our spirituality route. And when the negative returns, suddenly you see the beauty of the fall again, there it makes you be present.

Love,
Jules

We have to sea the beauty of the fall

Dear ones,

You know that we don’t even notice that a person enters our life paths.

At the beginning of my first injury to my brain. It was in 2007, and I lived in London. I was 26 years old and had already lived in so many countries, and traveled alone. At that time I went to India.

So, sitting in the Dalai Lama’s class and I didn’t even want to be there. I was already the person who demonstrated my thoughts.

I sat next to 2 women and started learning about Buddhism. And I didn’t even want to learn.

I know I became friends with Denise Robson who felt she should meet Hh Karmapa. And I didn’t even know who she was.

I lost her, lost my mind and my brain. She made me meet Lama Lobsang who gave lectures in London and I never went.

In a way, I see that he has been dead for years and I understand his teachings, even though my brain was more destroyed in the years 2013, 2017, 2020. For me, every time it was related to an emotional thing.

But it was in 2008 that I learned from Lama Lobsang “It’s a gift”

Today, in 2024, I see how we have to have positive thoughts.

So my dears, in our lives we have to accept our existence. When we were left lamenting, it was like diminishing our desire to get better.

Sometimes I didn’t even realize how many people were positive, and I wanted to go to the place of suffering, to debate when people called me that I don’t exist, I’m ignorant, etc.

What you have to see is a gift. When I messed up my brain, it made me erase my arrogance more, and in my ignorance it started to flow along my path of compassion.

Like so many on our path, we have to accept the essence of our soul.

So whoever has a fall, look for beauty. Makes the agent stand still. Sometimes it’s our struggle with nuts, even if we have to love them. This way we can understand our essence, and I am very grateful that they came my way.

When I couldn’t speak, walk, hallucinating was even being present. But such a positive word as one person said “We use few areas of the brain. Try another area.” Or when he said “We all hallucinate what our mind understands what the other hears.” That made me realize I was trying not to even debate, but really wanting to understand, before speaking.
I discovered how many thoughts are automated and we don’t even realize it.

So even though I don’t know the face, the name makes it clear that we are the same. In our internal search. When we begin to accept our mirror, then comes the attempt at compassion in everything. Even with my defects, I look at the beautiful things that are, not at the defect.

Real gratitude, deep and sometimes I don’t even know how to recognize faces, names. But the words of beautiful things.

I loved writing and reading. The day I went to send a message to my friend who lives in Sweden and explain what happened in my brain I asked for help from technology.

Neither a doctor, nor a speech therapist, nor a psychologist. So when I wanted to say about my soul, about my mind, I had to learn to do it slowly.

It hurt me to do it quickly. I even let my mistakes be my existence and I’m not even ashamed. For those who pass by like me, it helps Google translate.

Let it speak and it becomes written. Then listen. Start if that’s what you think. And if you speak another language, you also listen and perhaps turn around and go back until you are sure of what you think.

So, he started writing again, and. reading is harder :).

But it was my friend who made me want to share what was going through my brain. When I found out, I suffered from knowing, then I was happy that I managed to understand, then I wanted to share how we can improve from injuries and not look for the negative.

When I wrote, sometimes mixing languages ​​is on our minds. Here in Brazil, they think I’m a foreigner. I loved it, better than the sick one. And when I discovered that foreigners read my blog I felt enormous gratitude. It’s what makes me more present.

All gratitude with love Jules

Trees, huts I feel my soul

I came back and I was thrilled to see the tree and I felt it, and I touched the tree and I began to understand again why I stopped to look at the trees. It was there that I felt that I returned from the path of Spirituality. The club is about sports, but it feels like a small town 🙂

Then I saw a lady and asked me if I knew how she could call a club cart. I said I didn’t know.

She told me that the club helped her when she became a widow and didn’t even know what she could do.

I had a plan to go to a coffee place at the club, I took a couple of steps I looked at the trees and felt why I wouldn’t help that lady. I found out, sat next to her and we started talking.

When she was 80 she became a widow, and has been at the club for 10 years. She dances, swims and has gained many friends and loves seeing nature.

When I told you that I love living in Ubatuba, which is in Brazil, and that I had lived in so many areas of the world, but I had never lived next to trees. One thing that is not nationality is wanting to give back to nature and reduce my pollution.

I no longer debate news, but André and I compost and start to see how life never ends. Like when what we eat is reborn.

She told me that her son is a doctor and discovered happiness when he bought a little farm and started composting, recycling, planting and eating natural things. She loved going to meet but she didn’t want to lose her friends.

This Mrs Juracy told me that her father was Japanese, and she doesn’t take medicine. And on the same day I went to visit my friend Laura at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein. Wow, even more spirituality came from our conversations.

I say the Hospital is my hotel, we even laughed about our losses, illnesses and nothing negative. We have so many conversations and I told them about Mrs. Juracy.

.

My friend Lau is a neurologist and knows the consequences of my brain, and it’s incredible to be well. Deeper because as Lau said, friends are fundamental.

I was so touched to see Lau, and suddenly during our conversation, Sa called me. When I was in the hospital and she was the one who called. She was arriving from the USA and called.

We’ve been friends since we were doing our doctorates. Lau studied neurology, Sa studied mathematics, and I studied cognitive anthropology. And I say that even my ignorance of brain injuries made me more humble.

I took an Uber to leave, and I’m the one who talked to the driver who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and when he was at peace, no one understands why he didn’t die. . Just like I really don’t know what I have. So I even sent it to Lau

“Lau, I was super grateful to have seen you. All our spirituality, having seen your sister (is it Taís?), Luciana and even from a distance we spoke with Sa 🙂 Everyone who loves you and shares everyone. Very grateful, you know, even in a hospital compassion fluctuates. With love Jules”

That moment we even think is spiritual, that I felt from trees and my friends that make me let a spirituality float.

So when we saw each other I understood that Mrs Juracy made me meet in a conversation next to a tree.

Like after losing what her life was like, and how she became a widow. She abandoned sadness, and some friends stayed close to her and went to discover her new path. Even she gained her new friends.

This is is Wigwam , they are our friends who don’t judge us, nor care about our losses that fluctuate, that appear over the years, and were close to the trees. My friends, they are my Hot.

Love, Juless

Compassion to the world

As I have friends all over the world, and they want me to get into conflict. Especially my friends from Russia, Israel and Palestine. At this time of war, the hardest thing for me to share is that I’m here from a place without war. But I feel like we are destroying others which is part of ourselves. .

But what I learned from my life, when I almost died twice, and as I even lost areas of my destroyed brain, the best thing to learn is to calm my mind.

It’s because all anger turns into illness with me. Many try to stop us from freeing our minds, but this is how we don’t change from hatred, anger, materialism. In other words, it is someone else who manages to leave us manipulated.

I understand, because I didn’t know what to say to my friends in Palestine, Israel, and Russia. My mind never wants to modify my love because of a nationality, we are human beings.

If my house has a Tibetan flag, it is not because of a nationality. For me it is a flag of Impermanence, compassion, and Peace. Love Jules

The spirituality of our path

Now I live in a small town in Brasil. I is called Ubatuba and it is an area where there are many beaches. There are many people who where tired to live in big city’s and far from nature. And being me, I met people who lived years many ears and like spiritually.

Spirituality is an incredible thing. I met a woman at the organic fair in the middle of nature, in a conservation area, in Ubatuba. She’s from São Paulo and doesn’t even know many people in Ubatuba. The day we met, I went with her to solve problems at her house in Ubatuba. In the middle of nature our friendship began.

It took a weak for us to sea her. My new friend Fernanda, told me that she had broken her arm with glass, she had gone to the doctor and said that she should have an operation. The doctor said it was so serious that she should go to São Paulo.

Our friendship began, through messages and forgetting my things that I forgot in her car.

It was a Wednesday and a week ago that we met, I, who can no longer drive, decided to go along

She and I went from Ubatuba to São Paulo. She was driving with one hand, and asked me for help and I, who had injuries to my brain, couldn’t understand what to press. So she wouldn’t think I didn’t want to help, I wanted to make her listen to how many years I spent going to the hospital after my illness started in 2007, she understood.

Well, she stopped thinking she learned how to get words out, but rather told me which part of the car I should press.

It takes place on the first day of November. Many days increase spirituality, the Tibetan House had already informed me that at the Sírio Libanês Hospital, that His Holiness Ratna Vajna Rinpoche would give a talk. But I did not remember, nor thought I could go.

On Sunday I went to see Fe on the 5th, and she said that this trip was incredible spiritually. She went to the hospital on Wednesday and left on Sunday. Even when there is pain, we laugh and smile.

There I felt compassion, spirituality and thinking of my friends in their downfall.

These friends of mine in the fall enter my soul.

I have a faulty memory that reminds me of lama lobsang said when I complained about my illness

“An illness is a gift, it makes you know how to be present.”

As HH Karmapa said to me and reaching my brain. “It’s in your mind. I will always be close”

And when I had the compassion of someone to make me an appointment with HH Ratna Vajra Rinpoch. And when I went, I didn’t want to say anything about my brain injuries, I told my story of how Buddhists always come close to my life.

I had seen Hh Rinpoche in the hospital he said. “But even with material development, we still have sufferings.

I started sending messages to Buddhists and set a private time for me.

I was so happy, but I discovered it was in another city. I told my husband, he was extremely generous and came to São Paulo, and we went to see the other city and the temple.

.
Along the way, we saw the sun, nature, trees, cats, dogs and birds. And I sat by the tree and I felt so peaceful

When it came time to speak, I didn’t even know what to say. I told how Buddhism came about with a class from the Dalai Lama because I arrived in India and my ex-husband liked Dharam Sala. But neither of us were Buddhists. But we met Denise there who felt she should go on her private meeting with hh Karmapa. We weren’t even on that quest, and we didn’t even know who Karmapa was. That was in 2008
‘

So now in 2023 when I sat down to speak Ratana Vajra Rinpoche, without even wanting to know why I was there.

I ask “ why we live here on earth.”

Hh Ratna Vajna Rinpoche said “Since we are alive we have to help others.”

When I asked what lineage of Buddhism of me . He told me they are all connected.

And when I asked what a tree means. He told me Siddhartha was born and died on the side of a tree. So it evolved.

There I understood how all the spirituality in my life comes in trees. Just like I felt about Buddhism, indigenous people, Taoism, tantra and like this friend who went to the hospital and we met by the trees. Just like so much connection between people who have souls, spirituality and nature. And I learned this after my fall. But it was human beings who made me understand, and I have enormous gratitude to you. It was in my first class that Hh Dalai Lama said “Don’t be a Buddhist, respect all religions, respect what is in your you.”

Love Jules

Nations at war and Nature

Whenever we are in the present. But the present, made me in the past and where I am.

Sometimes a word makes us change, we don’t even realize it at the time.

Well, in 2010, I was doing my PhD at LSE which was about Israel and Palestine and I dropped out. I was treated so well in Israel and Palestine and I don’t even know Arabic and Hebrew. I even had to take Arabic and Hebrew classes. But I didn’t know how I could have peace.

At my college I had a friend from Israel who had refused to join the Army

In Israel, young men have to be 3 years old, and women have to be 2 years old. My friend had refused to join the army. He was imprisoned for a year and asked and said he wouldn’t go, so he was imprisoned inside Palestine. They thought he would change his mind, but in 2 years in prison inside Palestine he learned Arabic.

Well, my friend was doing his doctorate about Africa, and I told him that I had seen the Israeli army inside Palestine and I had seen children being arrested and I was shocked. I went to tell him, as he knew about the injustices, I told him

“But if you speak Hebrew and also know how to speak Arabic, you can help”

And he told me

“But if you’re from a farm family, why don’t you do something about indigenous people?”

Well, I left my PhD for India and you understand where we are from because the internal prison is complex. I think I started to understand that social problems are always more outside than their society. Outside of society, it becomes clearer what has internal value.

I like India because in Dharam Sala there are Tibetan courses, that is, courses that don’t focus on material things. There I met Tibetans who are not tied to a society, their value is not fixed, it is impermanent.

This year I met Rafa and the conversation began to talk about not knowing ourselves, and our illness. Well, I asked about the college. And she told me it’s biology.

Good when I told
about my dream about trees, and she told me about her studies about how trees have feelings.

Wow, when she told me about a study, I went to see it, and I even heard the sound of the tree. I cried with emotion. Plants cry. Plants even listen. Some of the studies I saw were in Israel.

From the day I heard and saw the study I started touching the trees. As well as love for the world.

Well, because I wanted to tell you both. Because my friend from Israel who defends Palestine, and I cannot be critical of our reality like the Trees, and the indigenous people are being killed.

But one word made the agent wake up.

I can avoid reality television whenever I want to demonstrate one. The only thing I can see, in my reality, is that the sea came almost close to home, and I can’t fight the sea.

Now what I can do is admire nature, and I can even plant to try to balance nature. It is observing how a nation is a form of prison, of distancing itself from others.

Any struggle is to free ourselves from our mind. It’s holding us back from compassion.

Just as my Russian friend does not defend his country’s war. As a man I met last year who is in the Czech army, he could perhaps be sent to defend Ukraine. He explained Zelensky’s hypocritical story to me.

Just as many Jewish friends don’t like Netanyahu, and few Palestinians are from Hamas

So, like my Jewish friend who defends Peace, like my Russian friend who doesn’t want to destroy Ukraine, I would never go to war, and I understand how indigenous people have always respected nature.

So I stay close to the Trees, I try to hear their peace. All we can do is plant ourselves on the street, at home and know that our fight is to understand that our born war is meaningless. It was always about economics

Our destruction of our land is not about the nation, it is about the selfish people of money, and they don’t even realize how all of nature is changing, everyone in this world.

I think this is when we should be together with nature. So we can live. Because if we don’t help the earth and nature, human beings won’t even exist

Love,
Jules

Love doesn’t need words

My city is São Paulo, or rather I was born here and my parents live here. São Paulo is a very important city in Brazil.

But I always ran away from my city. Even though it’s a city, people like to have work and money.

This is where it makes us feel like we are outside of ourselves. I guess it as where it does to describe to another. Like the important cities of the world. Like NewYork, Amsterdam, which are not the capital of the country. In other words, it is far from nature.

I’ve been here for 2 days. As soon as I became desperate, I began to feel something that made me observe, and the Silence became weak, and I heard that here I was articulated and declining who we are. It’s not about keeping silent about meditating, it’s about making your mind think of various thoughts without silencing your soul. That’s how I felt on the first day in Sao Paulo.

It makes me observe, because so many people don’t even want to observe human beings. So many people I see looking at people in despair. If I say good morning, they look outside

Worse was hearing people talk about their fear of being robbed, broken, and killed.

So it made me think about the philosophies, I teach drawing of Taoism. It made me observe that with any word we need to see it another way.

We have to weaken the fact that reality comes from television. Those conversations I heard yesterday made me focus desperately. My battery ran out, and André said he would arrive at 5. At 6 I started to get angry, then afraid that it had disappeared.

To make matters worse, my battery died, and I didn’t know André’s number by heart, and my parents are in Europe

So at my parents’ house, I went looking for everything negative. I went to see that it was my room and it was all my brother’s

After loading I forgot the password. So at 9 pm I asked the Doorman if I could call my parents. I knew it was very late in Italy but I called.

My father was worried that I was nervous. He called André and told me he was working and was fine.

Well, happiness came and suddenly my anger came.

I went to look for a massage at night, it turned into washing my hair with a massage. I asked the woman what to do to calm her mind. She said she knows how to give a head massage. Temporary peace came.

When we slept, I was happy. When I went to call my parents the next day, they knocked me down, saying that I was no longer capable of doing anything like I used to be. ,etc . The revolt returned.

Well, the revolt returned, but I thought that from everything I’ve been through, people don’t devalue me

So, I didn’t want to do what I was doing, I remembered the people who have peace within themselves, and shared it with others.

I remembered the people I met around the world for peace, André’s family came, who always returned all the spirituality of nature. Cecilia’s luck made me one of my new friends who aren’t stuck in the material, Ana Paula for Buddhism, Paulo for Tantra.

So, it made me understand that this fall made me find seeing.

In my coma, the Goddess, or Tara or my mind said “Do you want to live?” I said “Yes” and she asked me why. I said “I wanted it because of my grandmother, and my boyfriend at that time.

Saturday, when they will ask me if I was afraid of a coma, of death.

And it made me think, I’m not afraid of having another coma and death.

I love living, but this question why because I want to live.

Today I would say “Yes, I like living, because of the ability to evolve my anger, my mind and open my ego and continue to be compassionate to everyone and give back to nature. “

Only through the fall do we see the beauty of Life.

So these days I met Fatume, who is our friend’s mother. I started talking and she told me that she came from Lebanon, having fled her country.

The conversation was long and she asked me what life was about.

I was quiet and it took a while for me to say it. “I say I don’t believe in God”

She said “You don’t like a word, but it’s just a word. I used to be a Buddhist, but I still call it Allah. You can call it any word. Think it’s love. I see that in you.”

Wow, tears came out. That touched me. Because it was the tear of love. Like this
We look into the eyes of the soul.

São Paulo is just a word, our vision is love.

With love,
Jules

It’s good to calm the mind

It took me a while to write, because the speed takes over me when I hear something terrible, or worse because I heard about an earthquake.

When I heard it, I immediately called my friend Moon, who has been my friend since 2001. Morocco is within me because I have friends, and my teacher who made me understand about decolonizing the mind. More profoundly, it is my first epileptic attack, which I had in 2006 in Marrakech.

The word still said that the earthquake was in Marrachech. So I went to read what it was un earthquake

I kept quiet, because we must calm the mind, I still wanted to understand, how my mind became nervous, anxious. I decided to stop and understand what it meant « is the result of a sudden release of energy in the crust of planet Earth, generally due to the clash between tectonic plates, which creates seismic waves. «

It made me feel, which is strong because an epileptic attack is like my first epileptic attack at Moon’s house, and it was the first time that I didn’t have control over my brain, and energy and I started to know that it was the path of our ignorance.

But, in this fall, I began to learn that we should not focus on the negative, because learning the essence of our existence is neither in our land nor in our body. But we will learn this slowly.

When my friend Leila Alaoi, who in addition to having lived with me in the USA, we went to college together, and when I lived in London, visited me. When I had my first coma in 2013 in Thailand, it lasted 30 days and I almost died. When I was in São Paulo, my mother said that she called me every day to talk. Leila came to my wedding in 2015. In 2016, when she was killed and she was photographing Ono, I went to the hospital after losing my friend.

The teacher of my class in the USA was “Decolonize the mind” which became the name of my Blog, transplanting thoughts, Decolonize the mind. Moon, Leila and Mustapha are from Morocco.

It was after my fall that I learned from my brain injuries that I went to India 2007. It was at a time of despair. And I even took a class from the Dalai Lama and I continue to respect it because all Tibetans made me learn that in a battle it’s with ourselves.

And it was in India that I started learning to meditate. And I confess, sometimes I forget, I get lazy, until I avoid it, but my body makes it come back, when I start thinking about philosophies. Sometimes it makes my mind tired. But when emptiness comes, peace comes.

But that’s when I get angry, and wanting to control my injury, we have to learn compassion from our mind. I learned from Lama to observe the mind.

Then I also realize that neither medicine nor the hospital can solve my hallucinations. I’ve already said this, even in the hospital, and observation is difficult. Now, otherwise I’ll balance it out. Sometimes the brain gets tired and we should sleep at least 8 hours. And if you’re still tired, sleep more. But when you can, meditate.

My dear ones, don’t think that anything is negative. Any fall, we have to observe that all our falls are our possibility of knowing how to observe.

I am a person who makes a thousand mistakes, anger, etc. But. If I follow this path, our situation will be worse. It took days, years, but I began to understand.

So, poetically, an epileptic seizure is the result of a sudden release of energy in the crust of planet Earth, usually between tectonic plates, which creates seismic waves. And a possibility to observe the speed of our mind. In an epileptic attack, in addition to feeling, comes the speed of my reaction that makes me lose more.

As I poured hot water into my cup of tea, I remembered putting it in a deep dish of ice water, where I left ice and water, and trying to watch my mind, focus on the ice and think about cold water. I went from being burned to calming my mind. And I already feel much better.

We owe even more to respecting our land, our nature and sometimes we want to dominate, and not respect nature. And as my teacher Mustapha says, we need to decolonize the mind. I hope that my friends from Morocco, in that moment of loss, of fear, we have the possibility of knowing the beautiful things of loss.

Loads Love, 

Jules

Tbe inner beauty

The inner beauty, it takes time to see it, even if I have to see it from the inside, it seems that I can’t see the glasses, and maybe imagining it seems it’s blurry inside the mind.

Well, when we are on this path, we don’t care much about external beauty, because when we fall out of our body, we notice almost nothing of what we thought before.

So I look for my inner beauty. It was my fall that makes me present.

So, I want to share, as I have many friends, in spirituality and they will share with me, that a fall is even a gift.

As the Hospital is almost my hotel, I tell everyone to try to meditate, and there’s also a mirror there and you can’t see it. I began to see the attendants, doctors, nurses, cleaners with more compassion.

Because despite my losses, my brain injuries, the pain. But now I see how difficult it is for everyone to come every day when they come to take care of the sick person. And how they had to deal with all the pain and the anger and the rage and the death. I started to be quieter with the attendants. I try to be less in the ego.

At the beginning of my fall, it was in 2007, but today in 2023 I am grateful for my falls and I see what I had learned and I did not realize the value of teaching.

In 2008 I became friends with Lama Lobsang, and he told me “everything you said to me is a gift in everything in your life.”

I said that even my first diagnosis and said “it will make you learn to be present”.

Well, I was disgusted, distressed. After all, because he couldn’t understand, or worse, he knew that he should have gone through tougher things.

And it was even tougher because I knew that he was from Tibet and had gone through deep problems, of the body, as it is the kind of torture, but Lama Lobsang is very compassionate.

But these years there are some words that my new friends will help me a lot.

“Let the thought flow.” She doesn’t even imagine, when she gave the freedom of the mind, I started to realize and managed not to follow the thought in meditation, and it made me aware.

And another friend I met in Asia was from Israel and was arrested in Japan. He was a drug dealer, and in Japan he was imprisoned for years and could not speak, read and be alone. “ “We have to learn who we are, money is nothing, the body is nothing, the hardest prison is with ourselves. But when he manages to discover himself, he will even be in prison.” So did he learn people to free the mind.

The last time I ended up in the hospital with a brain injury was in 2021. It was right around the time that my good friend Sho died.

I suffered a lot from losing my friend, but today I see it in a way, it was sad, and beautiful. Sho is from a family in India, and he and I have lived in many countries and we always feel like we are an outsider. Sometimes it seems to me that he is even more present.

As we went to college in NY, we later found ourselves in different areas of the world. When I was trapped in neither human religion nor philosophy. I went to see what Sho used to say, so I could free myself from everything in my mind.

I went to listen to Sho’s whats words.

Fundamental difference between religion and spirituality explained in a photo.

As he said “The difference of a religion is how

Aquarium. , and spirituality is the Ocean.

You know, after my friend’s death it made me feel that spirituality is on my side. The Lama from Nepal appeared in Ubatuba, then my friend Rodrigo came and brought Chopra’s meditation, and then a Tantra nun came and then a group of women we are in Chopra’s philosophy.

It was even shocking, I even left and came back. The mind even makes you tired sometimes. But tired of gratitude.

Of a beauty, that a loss sometimes perceives and is not even seen from the outside. Maybe who we are, and when we discover our inner beauty and that we are equal. Maybe it’s from when we managed to accept everything that still feels like we are one in this universe.
