New Green Era

After managing to sell the idea about blogging to my beloved brother, I have realised what a fool I have been. Running a blog is not a simple task but a bit of routine can bring good ideas in the public domain and may be even inspire a few.

Last year I was very much into the Feta idea. I still think it is an excellent idea for a business, but... I came up with a better one.

Coming up with an idea from scratch is one thing - the feta stall for example, what happened last year is that I finally realised what I have had for more than 5 years right there in front of me is an excellent business platform.

I will save you from guessing - it is the cleaning business again. But now not just...

I wish I have continued to post on this blog right after I finally clicked. And to have kept it all along. Simply because if you are interested in the process not only the final result - you will find it amusing how from a Feta stall, Ekover Cleaning I found myself tinking of a big social networking site, where people buy and people sell. But they know each other - virtually. Then gradually I reduced it back to a one service - cleaning. Why? Because it is simple, but powerful. It was a personal conviction that was inspired by good logic, a Rutherford logic.

Since the launch of Green Shoots - an event that I help organising and I am really passionate about (see www.theglasshouse.net) in December 2007, I have come to realise the amazing time I am witnessing. A time that some call a Revolution and some a Renaissance. (as heard at the Green Salon talk last night, organised by Lucy Johnson).

For me it is a Renaissance, hence I decided to rename my company to UltimatelyEco.
What is your view - A revolution or a renaissance?

Do you like feta?

Do you know what is the difference between feta and white cheese from other countries?
From October 2007 only feta produced in Greece - specific regions in Greece, will be allowed to wear this name.

I love feta. In Bulgaria we eat feta like bread - with everything.
I have quite a few combinations that would surprise some of you.
Feta and honey, or feta and jam...
I like my porridge with feta, honey and milk.

So - do you like feta?
or you have another favourite type of feta ...bulgarian, turkish, danish, german, brindza or...?
or what do you like your feta with?
I am also looking for the best feta you have ever tried?

Let me know.

Ekover Cleaning

I am launching an environmentally friendly business -

Ekover Cleaning
for
Domestic and Office cleaning/Detox - with natural cleaning products or Ecover
Detox home - substituting all hazardous chemicals with healthy options
Detox cabinets and shelves - substituting all hazardous chemicals with healthy options
Detox body- help you pick the rigt diet and choose the best source.

What's the story!? I was trying to remember when exactly did my interest in the environment started? Well if campaigning for fresh air and healthy life is a proof of interest in environment issues - it must have all started when I was 10-11.
How?
My parents were smokers and we lived in a small flat. We were 3 children and I was trying to stop them using the kitchen for smoking area. I was the oldest of the 3 and I guess I knew that smoking was bad and I hated the thick stinking cloud of cheap cigarettes that was often poisoning our tiny kitchen.

I don't think I blame my parents but I still keep a deep feeling of disgust and rage when somebody is smoking around a child or a non-smoker.

I also have came to the conclusion that if you want to be healthy - you have to make an effort yourself. Health is not something given - it is something you strive for.

So campaigning for fresh air + personal responsibility for your health = Ecover Cleaning

So Ecover Cleaning is a realisation of a long-term goal to promote clean environment.
With Ecover Cleaning I hope to be able to promote excellent health and clean environment but not only climate change, saving the tropical forests, preserving the nature - it's more your own personal environment - you, your home, your garden, your office.

Have you ever thought or read or watched about the chemicals we use in our every day life - what we eat, drink; what we wash ourselves with, what we put on our skin; what we clean our home with; what we put in our garden; how we have our homes build - it is full of seemingly safe and friendly staff which contains a cocktail of chemicals half of which is known to be hazardous and the other half is not proven yet to be of any danger!?

I have done some research and I found an endless list of articles, scientific evidence, campaigns and actions to raise awareness about this soimportant issue. I can only say that - most of the hazardous chemicals are related to cancer and hormonal dysfunction. No place to think twice.

To find all available research and advice please visit our website, which will be launched by 10th May 2007. Until then contact me through the blog.

If you live in London and you need someone to look after your home, garden or help you detox - call me to discuss the available choice: 07833684529.

I found a wonderful site that offers an amazing amount of witty thoughts and ideas - you never know what you'll find when searching on the internet.

I am in a mood... a very usual one hwich happens every month. It reminds me that I am just a human being, so that I can remind myself that it is my soul that is eternal...

...and that I need to empty my cup.

This video is a documentary on PTSD and what is changing in the US army - a lot. It really looks like finally the government do not simply send people to die but you help them to recover! From the horror of danger, the nightmares of war.

I blooged it becuase it mentions Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR).
As a TIR facilitator I am proud to announce that the Approach is being recognised. TIR has shown (in controlled comparative studies on trauma and PTSD) the highest rate of effectiveness - complete permanent elimination of symptoms of PTSD.

If you would like to find out more call free on 0800849 6723 (UK only), email or visit TIR UK website

Proud and Happy

My Brother Boris Belchev is a proponent of Ornithology and passionate photographer whose pictures I am proud to say - are the most amazing window to a magnificent world of feathers colours and beaks and claws and space...

He manages to catch fractions of reality that make you hold you breath and think of nature.

The nature we destroy...

Please see for yourself: I'll get the link from him and you will be able to see more...;)

Emotional Intelligence

I didn't read the book - I studied it.

There is a lot I can say about the ideas and concepts I've read. I was happy to find that the main point matched one of my most powerful insights - teaching our children emotional intelligence.

This article is to announce my great interest in teh subject and to warn you that many articles will follow.

Right now I am reading the Emotional brain by Joseph Le Doux, whose work is Daniel Goleman's resource.

To be continued...

Ostava

I had an amazing weekend...
Milan was my initial destination. A plan I had for the last half year. Eager to get to know people I find very important. People who matter for me and my work, may be my future.

I ended up in Brixton Telegraph, tearful on a gig of one of my most loved Bulgarian bands - Ostava.

Overwhelmed by memories and emotions, singing along songs for love. Or may be more...

On Friday I had to accept that I am only human and that time is only obeying those who use it mindfully and who are present now.

On Friday I remembered the beautiful people I know in my home. The beautiful friends I haven't seen for more than 750 days. Beautiful people who know beautiful music and beautiful life...

On Friday I found me again.

And some beautiful people.

Krasivi hora...

Bill Viola on Tate's Webcast...

I'm just fascinated!
However I haven't manage to listen to the whole Interview!

It should be good...

Love/Death

Good night!

Bill Viola's amazing imagery

I just saw that video ... but at the Haunch of Venison near Tower Bridge you can see (only till 2nd September 2006) an amazing collection of videos and images. It's probably right to say mindblowing, but particularly mouth dropping...

And somehow enchanting, enthtralling - I beleive it will make you think a lot after you see it...whatever's on your mind!
If you wish to get an idea visit the gallery site: www.haunchofvenison.com
Go to Bill Viola, then Images... it's a flash site, so sorry not for exact locations...

Politically Disabled

A journey has a beginning and an end. My life is quite a journey and I am happy with it!
However as many of you might have had to live abroad and visas - it get's complicated. When you have to deal with visas to allow you to stay where you want to stay there is a lot to organise! I always thought (as majority of former communist destined individuals), that beaurocracy happens only in the Eastern Block's institutions...
Well obviously not!
After 662 days of waiting I was finally given - as you all might guess -the long awaited leave of remain, allowing me not only to live in the UK but to have the freedom to leave this country if I feel like it and of course to return...

A round of applause...Thank you Home Office, just about time!

Akashic Records Book of Life - Edgar Cayce

Some peole beleive some truth. Some people beleive another.
I've heard about the Akashic records so when I found that article I wanted to have it availabe for future use:

If you have an opinion, please do let me know.

I'm still learning...

I read in a book last night teh sentence: "To disagree with someone is a wonderful opportunity to learn".

I totally disagree with you!!!


Akashic Records Book of Life - Edgar Cayce
Book of Life, Edgar Cayce Akashic Records

The Akashic Records or "The Book of Life" can be equated to the universe's super computer system. It is this system that acts as the central storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth. More than just a reservoir of events, the Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the world. Much more than simply a memory storehouse, however, these Akashic Records are interactive in that they have a tremendous influence upon our everyday lives, our relationships, our feelings and belief systems, and the potential realities we draw toward us.

It is no exaggeration to state that the computer has transformed (and is still in the process of transforming) the entire planet. Whether it's technology, transportation, communication, education, or entertainment, the computer age has revolutionized the globe and the ways in which we understand and interact with one another. No segment of modern society has gone unaffected. The amount of information now stored in computer memory and crossing the Internet highway daily is literally unfathomable. And yet, this vast complex of computer systems and collective databases cannot begin to come close to the power, the memory, or the omniscient recording capacity of the Akashic Records.

	Upon time and space is written the thoughts, the deeds, the activities of an entity – as in relationships to its environs, its hereditary influence; as directed – or judgment drawn by or according to what the entity's ideal is. Hence, as it has been oft called, the record is God's book of remembrance; and each entity, each soul – as the activities of a single day of an entity in the material world – either makes same good or bad or indifferent, depending upon the entity's application of self towards that which is the ideal manner for the use of time, opportunity and the expression of that for which each soul enters a material manifestation. The interpretation then as drawn here is with the desire and hope that, in opening this for the entity, the experience may be one of helpfulness and hopefulness. Edgar Cayce reading 1650-1

The Akashic Records contain the entire history of every soul since the dawn of Creation. These records connect each one of us to one another. They contain the stimulus for every archetypal symbol or mythic story which has ever deeply touched patterns of human behavior and experience. They have been the inspiration for dreams and invention. They draw us toward or repel us from one another. They mold and shape levels of human consciousness. They are a portion of Divine Mind. They are the unbiased judge and jury that attempt to guide, educate, and transform every individual to become the very best that she or he can be. They embody an ever-changing fluid array of possible futures that are called into potential as we humans interact and learn from the data that has already been accumulated.

Information about these Akashic Records – this Book of Life – can be found in folklore, in myth, and throughout the Old and New Testaments. It is traceable at least as far back as the Semitic peoples and includes the Arabs, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Babylonians, and the Hebrews. Among each of these peoples was the belief that there was in existence some kind of celestial tablets which contained the history of humankind as well as all manner of spiritual information.

The first reference in Scripture to some unearthly volume is found in Exodus 32:32. After the Israelites had committed a most grievous sin by worshiping the golden calf, it was Moses who pleaded on their behalf, even offering to take full responsibility and have his own name stricken "out of thy book which thou hast written" in recompense for their deed. Later, in the Old Testament, we learn that there is nothing about an individual that is not known in this same book. In Psalm 139, David makes reference to the fact God has written down everything about him and all the details of his life – even that which is imperfect and those deeds which have yet to be performed.

For many individuals this Book of Life is simply an imagery symbol of those destined for heaven and has its roots in the custom of recording genealogical records of names or perhaps early census taking. Traditional religion suggests that this book – either in literal or symbolic form – contains the names of all those who are worthy of salvation. TheBook is to be opened in connection with divine judgment (Dan. 7:10, Rev. 20:12). In the New Testament, those redeemed by Christ are contained within the Book (Philippians 4), those not found in the Book of Life will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

As an interesting corollary, in the ancient world, a person's name was symbolic of his or her existence. According to Sir James George Frazer, author of The Golden Bough – one of the most extensive volumes on world mythology – there was such a bond between one's name and one's existence "that magic may be wrought on a man just as easily as through his name as through his hair, his nails, or any other material part of his person." In ancient Egypt, to blot a name out of a record was equivalent to destroying the fact that the person had ever even existed.

Closer to our current era, a great deal of contemporary information on the Akashic Records has been made available by both reputable psychics and modern-day mystics – individuals who have somehow perceived beyond the limits of three dimensions. According to H.P. [Helena Petrovna] Blavatsky (1831-1891), Russian immigrant, mystic, and founder of the Theosophical Society, the Akashic Records are much more than simply an account of static data which may be gleaned by a sensitive; instead, the records have an ongoing creative stimulus upon the present:

Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a plastic matter, creative in its physical nature, immutable in its higher principles. It is the quintessence of all possible forms of energy, material, psychic, or spiritual; and contains within itself the germs of universal creation, which sprout forth under the impulse of the Divine Spirit.

Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the Austrian-born philosopher, educator, and founder of the Anthroposophical Society possessed the ability to perceive information beyond the material world: a "spiritual world" which was just as real to him as the physical world was to others. Steiner claimed that the ability to perceive this other world could be developed, enabling an individual to see events and information every bit as concrete as the present:

...man can penetrate to the eternal origins of the things which vanish with time. A man broadens his power of cognition in this way if he is no longer limited to external evidence where knowledge of the past is concerned. Then he can see in events what is not perceptible to the senses, that part which time cannot destroy. He penetrates from transitory to non-transitory history. It is a fact that this history is written in other characters than is ordinary history. In gnosis and in theosophy it is called the "Akasha Chronicle"...To the uninitiated, who cannot yet convince himself of the reality of a separate spiritual world through his own experience, the initiate easily appears to be a visionary, if not something worse. The one who has acquired the ability to perceive in the spiritual world comes to know past events in their eternal character. They do not stand before him like the dead testimony of history, but appear in full life. In a certain sense, what has happened takes place before him.

Cosmic Memory

In terms of contemporary insights, perhaps the most extensive source of information regarding the Akashic Records comes from the clairvoyant work of Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), Christian mystic and founder of A.R.E. For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar Cayce possessed the uncanny ability to lie down on a couch, close his eyes, fold his hands over his stomach, and put himself into some kind of an altered state in which virtually any type of information was available. The accuracy of Cayce's psychic work is evidenced by approximately one dozen biographies and literally hundreds of titles which explore various aspects of his information and the thousands of topics he discussed.

When asked about the source of his information, Cayce replied that there were essentially two. The first was the subconscious mind of the individual for whom he was giving the reading and the second was the Akashic Records.

Most often, when giving a reading which discussed a person's soul history and his or her individual sojourn through space and time, Cayce would begin with a statement such as, "Yes, we have before us the records of the entity now known or called _________." In discussing the process for accessing these records, Edgar Cayce described his experience as follows:

I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical body, which lies inert before me. I find myself oppressed by darkness and there is a feeling of terrific loneliness. Suddenly, I am conscious of a white beam of light. As this tiny dot, I move upward following the light, knowing that I must follow it or be lost.

As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious of various levels upon which there is movement. Upon the first levels there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in nightmares. Passing on, there begin to appear on either side misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified. Again there is change and I become conscious of gray-hooded forms moving downward. Gradually, these become lighter in color. Then the direction changes and these forms move upward and the color of the robes grows rapidly lighter. Next, there begin to appear on either side vague outlines of houses, walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless. As I pass on, there is more light and movement in what appear to be normal cities and towns. With the growth of movement I become conscious of sounds, at first indistinct rumblings, then music, laughter, and singing of birds. There is more and more light, the colors become very beautiful, and there is the sound of wonderful music. The houses are left behind, ahead there is only a blending of sound and color. Quite suddenly I come upon a hall of records. It is a hall without walls, without ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing an old man who hands me a large book, a record of the individual for whom I seek information.

Reading 294-19 Report File

	Yes, we have the body here, and the record as has been made and as may be made with the will as exercised, and the condition irrespective of the will's influence or effect as has been created. We have conditions that might have been, that are, and that may be. Do not get the three mixed up or crossed purposes of either. 304-5

Once given the record, Cayce had the ability to select the information which would be most capable of assisting the individual at that time in his or her life. Frequently, a reading might suggest that only a selection of the available material was being provided, but that the individual was being given that which would be "most helpful and hopeful." Additional insights were frequently provided in subsequent readings once an individual had attempted to work with and apply the information which had been given previously.

As a means of perhaps alluding to the fact that the Akashic Records were not simply a transcription of the past but included the present, the future, and certain probabilities as well, in reading 304-5, Cayce began the reading with a curious statement.

When discussing the Book of Life, he stated it that it was "The record of God, of thee, thy soul within and the knowledge of same." (281-33) On another occasion (2533-8) Cayce was asked to explain the difference between the Book of Life and the Akashic Records:

Q. [What is meant by] The Book of Life?
A. The record that the individual entity itself writes upon the skein of time and space, through patience – and is opened when self has attuned to the infinite, and may be read by those attuning to that consciousness...
Q. The Book of God's Remembrances?
A. This is the Book of Life.
Q. The Akashic Records?
A. Those made by the individual, as just indicated.

2533-8

The Edgar Cayce readings suggest that each of us writes the story of our lives through our thoughts, our deeds, and our interactions with the rest of creation. This information has an effect upon us in the here and now. In fact, the Akashic Records have such an impact upon our lives and the potentials and probabilities we draw toward us that any exploration of them cannot help but provide us with insights into the nature of ourselves and our relationship to the universe.

There is much more to our lives, our histories, and our individual influence upon our tomorrows than we have perhaps dared to imagine. By accessing information from the Akashic Records, the universe's computer database, much might be revealed to us. The world as we have collectively perceived it is but a faint shadow of Reality.
