			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A concept is an idea (a conjunction of words) used and created through a mix-up of things:</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>assumptions assured by confirmed predictions</li>
<li>belief systems sustained by thoughts</li>
<li>projections maintained by memories through experiences</li>
</ul>
<p>Concepts are rarely questioned because we even believe others have the same definition because &#8220;they are in the dictionary&#8221;. However, these dictionaries lack insight because they are used to create a common ground. They do not express the real &#8220;use&#8221; of the word or words because language is a constantly changing mix.</p>
<p class="tips">This is important to establish because the main reason of conflict in between humans beings are: &#8220;Misunderstandings&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>The number one cause of dissolution in unions is: Lack of communication.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>For example:</strong><br />
My concept about love is not the same one you had, so I file for a divorce because you lacked the ability to love me as I wished, and we did not learn to how communicate properly to each other what does love mean. We can talk for hours, but a deep communication is lacking because of the misconceptions of the main words being used.</p>
<p class="write">How many words have you asked yourself what do they mean to you? Have you asked to those who you constantly relate to&#8230; What does it mean to them a friendship, love, honesty, companionship, loyalty, etc.?</p>
<p>What you see is not what actually is; it is the image you have created of it the one being understood. However, it kind of works this way&#8230; We can communicate, but we also live so much division when we don&#8217;t know how to explain what we wish to express.</p>
<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33432224@N00/2285253737"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2166/2285253737_c23f7d26f2.jpg" alt="Encadré (Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro)" hspace="5" border="0" /></a>
<p>Frederic della Faille</p>
</div>
<p>We may see and live the same truth, but each one of us uses a lens on a different focus that is seems we are seeing different things. So much anger, aggression, and separation created by these wrongly understood concepts, and by the interpretation of these when applied into a certain environment.</p>
<p>How can you commit to a relationship when you cannot even listen to the other&#8217;s expectations when using the word &#8220;love&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong>It is a spiral that goes somehow like this:</strong></p>
<ul class="arrows">
<li> Lack of communication eventually results in broken expectations.</li>
<li> Broken expectations leave you lost in translation, then communication becomes even worse.</li>
<li> It all ends up in sadness, and at the end; if not careful it turns out into anger and hate</li>
</ul>
<p class="stickynote"> Communication means: I listen to you fully. I close my thoughts for a moment. I open my heart to you. I care what you have to say, although I don&#8217;t agree with you. I may even grow and have better ideas with those remarks I don&#8217;t agree on.</p>
<p>It does not matter if he does not listen to you. It is YOU the one who should listen. Is is YOU the one who should become aware of the situation. It is YOU who can change the world, not others.</p>
<p class="babyheart"> Remember, I may be wrong. Think things out. Ask yourself more questions. There is no one out there to say something enlightening. It is you the one who has all the questions; therefore all the answers.</p>
<p>If others see you want to listen, they may try to&#8230; but even if they don&#8217;t&#8230; move on.  Learn from each experience and open those eyes to new understandings by simply listening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is full of breaking points, instants creating the opportunity of change, your choice: Take them or leave them.   You walk the way you believe makes you feel is great about yourself. Most of the time, our ideas depend, if they are not thought by yourself thoroughly, on the collective mind, they way society has elaborated rules and concepts.</p>
<p class="message">As a consequence, many things that make you feel great or bad about yourself, may be not the facts. It could be those ideas you are lingering on, but those can change at any instant.</p>
<p>However, the instant you understand you have the ability inside yourself to really feel great, and it does not depend on your ideas or concepts about yourself:</p>
<p><strong>You are really free. Not free in the sense of my country is free, but the freedom that even though you may be in a prison&#8230; You are really free of yourself, and you become the real you.</strong></p>
<p>WHY?</p>
<p class="stickynote">A concept is a mental elaboration of the &#8220;object&#8221; thought. An idea represents the conjunction of those concepts into a bigger elaboration, and your inner relationship with those concepts.</p>
<p>Each idea can produce an action, an emotion, a desire, etc. It is the product of concepts, created since birth, by the people who surround you and your reaction to those interactions.</p>
<p>We have the ability to change your results, to change the reactions produced, if you take some of your time to think about:</p>
<p class="babysearch">Who is the real you beyond all those concepts and ideas?</p>
<div id="attachment_139" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"> <a href="http://linaru.projectlove.me/files/morning-glory-pool.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-139" src="http://linaru.projectlove.me/files/morning-glory-pool-300x225.jpg" alt="How deep are you willing to go?" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">How deep are you willing to go?</p></div>
<p>Society states: These are the rules, enter the matrix, you cannot think for yourself once you are there.</p>
<p>You have a choice each instant: I want to take the responsibility of my ideas and their consequence; created or not by society through deranged concepts.</p>
<blockquote><p>You can listen inside yourself; you know when something is going wrong, when there is something out there waiting to be understood, but you don&#8217;t have the time to find out why, you may be sad or angry at everything, you feel fear&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>When will enough be enough?</li>
<li> Who are you?</li>
<li>Why do we exist? What is the purpose of life and yours?</li>
<li>Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you in fear?</li>
<li>What is wrong and right? Does good and bad exist as I believe it does?</li>
<li>Why do I judge others? Am I judging myself as I judge others with those same ideas?</li>
<li>Why do you do what you do? Are you doing things because of you or because of what the collective mind tells you is right?</li>
</ul>
