“I had a dream …. I had a dream that chaos ruled the world, but, when I awoke, I found myself in a world which was full of harmony and plenty. I had a dream where people wasted their lives on anger, enmity and revenge, but when I awoke, I found myself among loving and supportive people. I had a dream of lonely and unhappy people, who await their miserable destiny with fear and weariness, but when I awoke, I was inspired by people who had dedicated themselves to the development of soul and mind creating a brighter light together. I had a dream, where people had locked themselves into unions, cliques, associations, parties, corporations and blind national chambers, where they directed plans to conquer and destroy each other and the world, but, when I awoke, I found myself in a State of Peace of universal love, respect, justice, openness, friendship and mutual understanding. I had a dream …. I awoke ….”

“In a heavenly moment, you arrive in a beautiful garden full of abundance and love, and your heart draws you toward an apple tree in the middle of it. You touch the leaves of the tree and you recognize forgotten past when all begun with joy and lightness. You don’t have to hold back your tears because tears are the pearls in the necklace of life’s experience.”
