    About me I am a father of 4, 2 girls (21, 18) two boys (10 years, 23 months). I graduated from Saint John's College High School ... eooons ago, in Virginia, USA, where I went as an exchange student. and have a Master's Degree in Economics from the Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgie (1976-1981). Have been a bank executive, worked as an employee for financial institutions and other business, became a Trainer in Neuro Lingüistic Programing (1994) and learned Neuro Sematics with Michael Hall and the phenomenological approach to what works in relational systems with Bert Hellinger; never remained in a job for more than 18 months... there were always better jobs but nothing like being your own boss, so I set up my coaching company and then retired to work from my home thanks to Internet in 1999. Looking forward to learning from you all… and getting ready for the savvy teachings that will get me closer to swallowing my niche market whole...
    My Business I am an entrepreneur employing 40 people in 3 endeavors: 1 online: a unique natural skin care solution we stumbled upon and made available for all through e-commerce (and I am here to learn so that I may swallow my market whole) 1 mostly offline : fresh chocolates created by my partner Felix Brunatto and are among the best you can possible find in this Global Village: www.brunatto.com and www.cocoatickles.com and a business partnership totally offline: a video, books and music outlet: 4 stores placed on high valued real estate locations in Santiago, Chile. I just failed with a Direct Response TV Campaign for our natural biological skin care product in the USA. We tried launching it as a joint venture with Incredible Discoveries Inc. and since I never play the poor me victim… it was my huge mistake… and a lot of money went down the drain. I've been marketing skin care products for 7 years through Internet. Once upon a time... one of my websites was ranked number 3 for skin care and then we sold in a month double what we are making now each month in sales, (beginning of 2005). Then my site was taken out of Google's index and sales went steadily down to about 1/3 of what they were... never understood quite well why... several other websites I had registered with my name went out of the Google index .. only pattern was they were all 6 in the index page of the Directory of Links of my skin care website as featured partners, and they were about chocolates, angora, olive oil and other goodies but not skin care... Also I had managed to increase the content of the website (many more pages) using a software to create articles with variations in keywords but same all other text... like replacing "acne treatment " for "acne remedy" (there was no spooling software back then)... traffic sky-rocketed and sales but only to vanish in a few weeks... still we are back again and with sales steadily increasing and closer now (March 2008) to the peak we had reached without being on the first page for "skin care"...
    Philosophy I feel wealthy, blessed to live in these times, wanting to spend more time with my youngest son and my wife and my friends. I live in paradise, I mean in Concon, near the port of Valparaiso and the city of Vina del Mar, Chile; in a beautiful house next to the Pacific Ocean... Now, since I am blessed I feel the responsibility to speak up and do something about the evil doings in our Global Village, for I deeply sense we are wrong when we think we are "individuals" with a soul, rather "we belong to a larger soul" and whatever we do as part of the soul has consequences on us and on our family... please read my first blog post.

    Welcome to my cheeky remarks

    Saturday, March 22, 2008, 07:35 PM [General]

    I am proud to be here feeling we may all contribute to create this Global Village where we all want to belong... now it's not that we are there yet, and I am not the type of politically correct people who thinks has to walk carefully so no eggs are broken... on the contrary...

    But first, I wish to say thank you for this initiative and future community where we can all get help for our endeavors and reciprocally help others...

    Now, I am not indiferent to other's public evil gigglings. Thus, after listening the complete quote, not just the remarks cited out of context, of Pastor Wright quoting former Ambassador Edward Peck saying the following on Fox News, I will not remain silent:

    "We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, Arikara, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism.

    "We took Africans away from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism.

    "We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.

    "We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenage and toddlers, pregnant mothers and hard working fathers.

    "We bombed Qaddafi's home, and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your children's head against the rock.

    "We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to pay back for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hard working people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they'd never get back home.

    "We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye.

    "Kids playing in the playground. Mothers picking up children after school. Civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day.

    "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff that we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.

    "Violence begets violence. Hatred begets hatred. And terrorism begets terrorism..."

    It only seems clear to me that Mr. Peck and Pastor Wright, like most people in America and elsewhere too, are very much unconscious of the Biblical condemnation "whatever injury you did to your brothers or sisters will not go unpunished... you shall pay for it until the third and fourth generation".

    It can not be but systemic and inescapable entanglements for we are part of the same soul and not the isolated individuals we might beleive we are. Thus the cost of violating the systemic laws that would allow love to unfold in our Global Village will once more be payed not only by innocent people but also will be atoned, and guilt and also the denial of our own pain will have to be compensated for, by our own children to the third and fourth generation.

    Are we concious that a country where most people have never batted an eye for its Governor's evil doings shall get what it deserves: more than another war to loose under the command of its chosen Governor in chief, most probably by the last name McCain?

    Or, will we honor the equal right to belong to this Global Village of all its members and have the courage to go into the pain and work through our guilt to compensate now, ourselves, for our past evil doings and undeserved advantages as a community?
