On racism (what is racism and what makes it alive)
I am not a racist.
And I will never be.
It is not in my nature.
Eleven years ago I moved from Bulgaria to South Africa.
Here they say that the difference between racist and tourist is one week.
Well let’s talk racism.
What makes people to be racists? - The differences of course.
Some CLEVER people say that humans are not different in any way.
I say – humans are different in all the ways:
Intellectual, cultural, moral, mental, political, social, physical…
There is no such a thing like sameness.
(I use to say that we are the same in our differences)

Teaching miracles
Almost two years I did not write anything in the section Stories from my Life.
I started those stories as kind of response to the “miracle stories” from a famous American book.
The strange thing is that I suddenly stopped on the most interesting place of my life.
Why?
Something held me back every time I wanted to write the next story, and … I just couldn’t write.
It is like my promise, to give the answer to one of Fibonachi’s mathematical problems.
Why should I do it if he did not do it!?
Why should I teach people to do miracles!?
The Power to do Miracles should be granted, not received by teaching.
If you can be Loving, Silent and Tender, you will do all the miracles that people need.
Love to All!

O, we were so wrong…

To teach a parrot
If you are on the home page of this weblog, you will see at the very bottom of it the parable about Stupidity and Wisdom.
What does this parable say?
It says one only thing: you can not teach anybody.
(Every human is convinced and locked in his/her own knowledge.)
In order to teach, there must be understanding on the other side.
If there is understanding then there is the same knowledge.
If there is the same knowledge, then you don’t teach, but just remind the knowledge that the other side already has.
So, there is no such thing as teaching.
