Rubem Alves

I just finished a book by Rubem Alves called "Perguntaram-me se acredito em Deus" ( Someone asked me if I believed in God). As a teacher and someone who loves the magical power of words, I've always looked up to this amazing man who comes from Minas. If you ever run into this book, it's worth the journey! He uses a story teller to interpret some passages of the Bible and the interaction we silently and uniquely have with the God we carry in our hearts. He shapes it all beautifully, full of love, life, hope and poetry. I just have to be thankful to have such a wonderful writer and educator lightening up my steps all these years. God bless his work and his gardens spread all over Brazil in people`s hearts and souls!

Gui`s posting

Gui,Thank you for posting the tip on my blog about the movie What the bleep do we know? I checked the blog you suggested!http://dragaodagaragem.blogspot.com and I completely understand your point of view. I started reading about quantu Physics long ago with a book Muito além do aqui e do agora, later on I was exposed to O Tao da Física. Even though I understand and believe in data and the power of traditional science,I feel and sense there is much more within us than what we already KNOW with all the scientific data we collect through life! Don't get me wrong, but not in Physics, but in Applied Linguistics, human interaction and discourse, I am a researcher myself. I finished my Master's degree at UFRJ and I'm going for my PhD in the same field. You are young and have a long road to cross. I agree with you about the production, soundtracks, acting, director and all there is in the package! The movie is shitty, but NOT THE CONCEPTS. The blog you suggested mentioned Uranus and Neptune and the importance of their discovery, go deeper into Astrology and you will see there is much more out there. We are not here saying we want to BAN science and Physics, but there are things that cannot be explained or described through data or fancy exams like the blog you suggested mentioned, scanning your brain for example. The technology is cool and I'm in favor of it, I'm a survivor from brain aneurism , so I know and I FEEL what I'm talking about. There is no war or gap between science and mysterious issues, only understanding and bridges to better build this society. Think about it. I agree with you that sometimes when they bring up these topics, they do not have the best production in terms of film making. And people that are knowledgeable out there do not want to take a step further,they are masters who are not willing to seek, but to be found! That is the whole difference, huh?Science and the unknown or the unseen have a great interaction for those who are aware of the universe and its representation in small or bigger fractions. I have a researcher's mind for the data I analyze in my classroom, but I go deep into studying the Cabala, Greek Mithology, Tarot cards and symbols, and all the mysterious language there is out there! It is my hobby and it's my pleasure.I wrote to you in English because I know for sure you can communicate in a foreign language as a person focused on research and science as you are. And I only answer my postings in English. After all, that's the language of my blog. I hope we can get together and become friends, explore all the beauty of the universe in interesting and amazing discussions. I believe in data , it`s my every day work as a classroom researcher, but I also believe in feelings and energy. I wish you the very best in life! Be cool and be happy!
