Very Important Message !

These events are folowing other events that have already began, specially those of 8 of August 2008 in Portugal, Spain and all over the world.


Please, keep an open mind, just trust yourself.


The Message
spiritual reality

Blossom's most recent book “The Bridge” documents the messages channelled to her by the Cosmic Beings known as The Federation of Light. In her most recent encounters with them they have announced that one of their craft will appear in our skies on October 14th 2008 for a period of three days in such a way as to prove to us the existence of other life forms in the Universe. The Federation of Light stress that they come in LOVE to help us and our planet move to a new Higher Vibration of Love. They have asked Blossom to get this message out to as many people as possible.

TO LEADERS, GOVERNERS, POLITICIANS AND
ALL PEOPLE OF EARTH ….

We wish it to be understood that on the 14th day of your month of October in the year 2008 a craft of great size shall be visible within your skies. It shall be in the south of your hemisphere and it shall scan over many of your states.

We give to you the name of Alabama.

It has been decided that we shall remain within your atmosphere for the minimum of three of your twenty four hour periods.

During this time there will be much commotion upon your earth plane. Your highest authorities will be intruding into ‘our’ atmospherics that surround our ship. This ‘security field’ is necessary for us, as there shall take place a ‘farce’ from those in your world who shall try to deny that we come in LOVE.

KNOW OF THIS

WE COME TO ASSIST YOUR WORLD.

WE DO NOT COME TO TAKE OVER.

WE DO NOT COME TO DESTRUCT.

WE COME TO GIVE YOU HOPE.

We are beings from other planets, who for many eons of your time have been preparing for these days ahead.

We ask each soul that reads of these words to accept in their heart the Truth that lies within. For in that place there is the knowing that this is to take place.

There shall be many who deny. There shall be many who dismiss.

There shall be those who KNOW of this TRUTH.

Which ever you may be … let this be understood.

IT SHALL TAKE PLACE.

We give you the opportunity to capture on screen this particular ship. There shall be no contact in the form that those of your planet would like. For this initial presentation, we shall simply be presenting our ship to you.

We say to you … That shall certainly be enough to comprehend initially.

All kinds of methods shall be carried out in order to try and penetrate through our security barrier, but they shall be to no avail.

Until we can PROVE to you that we come in LOVE, we will not allow the fullness of our visits to be uncovered.

KNOW OF THIS …

THIS IS THE BEGINNING … NOT THE END

Your governments and your media will try to disguise us. This will fail. All avenues have been covered by us.

Your media will have no choice but to portray the TRUTH for it shall be there for all to see.

Friends of earth. Do not be afraid. We beseech you to TRUST that we come to bring the downfall of those who have misintentions for the well being of your planet.

If we do not intervene now … as has been planned for eons of your earth time … then we fear it would be too late.

WE ASK YOU TO ACCEPT US IN LOVE.

FOR THAT IS WHY WE COME.

The sayings that your world have been aware of via your movie screens etc were not merely make believe. We have been planting and watering seeds of Truth on your planet in preparation for these days.

FOR INDEED

WE COME IN PEACE.

Fill your souls with TRUST in that knowledge.

We are your brothers and sisters from other places.

Our technology is far advanced. There are those in high places of ruling that KNOW full well of this. Therefore they know that there would be little point trying to ‘pretend’ that they need weapons to destroy us.

On this day that we appear, we ask you to listen only to your hearts and NOT to the words of those who shall be in great fear of losing their power.

For too long your world has lived under a cloud that most of you have been unaware of. If you were to KNOW the Truths of what has been hidden from you, you would be appalled and in great disbelief.

It is time for your souls to be allowed to be who they are.

The veil is to be removed.

BE OF JOY.

IT IS A TIME FOR THAT.

YOU SHALL KNOW OF THIS AS YOUR HEART ACCEPTS THE TRUE REASON FOR OUR VISIT.

TO BRING YOU AN UNDERSTANDING OF LOVE. KNOW THIS.

We choose to leave it at that.

Be vigilant. Keep your eyes to the skies.

Keep LOVE in your heart.

WE … THE FEDERATION OF LIGHT … SIGN OFF, GIVING YOU ENCOURAGEMENT AND HOPE AS WE BEGIN THE ASCENSION INTO THE NEW WORLD.

Each one of you has chosen to be here for this ascension. Choose now whether your human form will …

Accept it through LOVE Or Reject it through FEAR.

May the Highest aspect of your soul fill you with Light as you move bravely forward.

Gratitude to each one as they assist us in the cause

within your heart find the truth

Do not believe anything because
it is said by an authority, or if it
is said to come from angels,
or from Gods, or from an
inspired source.
Believe it only if you have
explored it in your own heart
and mind and body and found
it to be true. Work out your own
path, through diligence.
Guatama Buddha

Adeus

Meu querido pai Victor saíu deste mundo fez um ano completo no dia 1 de Setembro de 2008.
No entanto, mantemo-nos juntos desde então. Deixo-lhe este poema escrito, psicografado, pelo Chico Xavier:

O sino plange em terna suavidade,

No ambiente balsâmico da Igreja;

Entre as nuvens, no altar, em tudo adeja

O perfume dos goivos da saudade.


Geme a viuvez, lamenta-se a orfandade;

E a alma que regressa do exílio beija

A luz que resplandece, que viceja,

Na catedral azul da imensidade...


"Adeus, Terra das minhas desventuras...

Adeus, amados meus..." - diz nas alturas...

A alma liberta, o azul do céu singrando...

- Adeus... - choram as rosas desfolhadas.

- Adeus... - clamam as vozes desoladas

De quem ficou no exílio soluçando...

Engraçado...

É mesmo, curioso como a vida tem destas coisas. Só quando temos pouco, damos valor ao que realmente interessa, todo o supérfluo quase que desaparece como por magia: Amizade, amor, afecto, tempo, cores da vida, do sol, do mar, da natureza, dos olhos dos nossos filhos, da nossa mulher que amamos, tudo realça em contraste com os dias de abundancia de dinheiro, onde o consumo se torna imperioso e escape para quase todas as questões, a TV absorve-nos, aquela coisa da loja chupa-nos para ela, o livro que saíu agorinha mesmo requisita-nos, o DVD do último filme atrai-nos, a roupinha ou o sapatinho que nos pisca os olhinhos, a guloseima que nos acode à ansiedade, aquela brasa que nos põe doentes, a conta que não engorda nunca o suficiente, os pagamentos que cascatam, os imprevistos que descambam o orçamento, o fim do mês... Ufa !...
Como a Vida deveria ser tão mais fácil, tão mais simples. Porque não é? Culpa nossa, digo eu. E que fazer? pergunto eu, também, como um imbecil que não sabe mesmo a resposta, - Não sei.

Parece-me que rondamos sempre a resposta, que ela está sempre perto de nós, ali como se fosse suficiente virar a cara e ela nos morder o nariz. A simplicidade é simples, depois de retirado todo o demais, fica o essencial. Não chega? Pois. Não tenho solução. Só perguntas sem resposta, para já.
Estou como sempre, optimista, despreocupado, feliz. Sempre estive.

O que é meu à minha mão virá dar. E se eu já tiver tudo o que quero? E não saiba...

Kundalini

Neste momento em que vagueio

Desde Junho que não exerço a minha profissão como tal. Com uma dura lição de permeio, persigo na minha descoberta.
A minha iniciação em Reiki neste mês, com os Mestres Viktor e Joaquim, foram parte desta minha caminhada de busca pelo meu lugar no Mundo.
Irei continuar a desenvolver e a aprender com humildade a minha profissão e fá-lo-ei com esmero e dedicação, cada vez com mais empenho.
Não sei, ainda, onde irei trabalhar, mas creio que esse dia está próximo.
Se o que comemos se torna parte de nós, tenho, então, uma grande responsabilidade: a de tornar melhores as pessoas que comem o que faço. O que é feito com muito amor e carinho, leva esses sentimentos para dentro de quem os consome, assim espero que aconteça.
Até já...

Nem eu sei

Nem eu sei,
quantas vezes cá estive,
quantas vezes me levantei.

Quantos partos passei
num e noutro papel,
onde a Luz era lei.

Minhas mães e pais,
depois filhos e avós,
continuamente brilhais

Fraca tenho a voz
de tanto a usar
prazer e dor atroz.

Marés de sorte
tsunamis de azar
boa e má morte.

Vidas que vivi
sonhos que sonhei
minha luz abri

Bing bang... estive lá
mas aqui agora estou
da luz também sou.

Antes e depois
humana engenharia.
Agora: sois

Presentes encadeados,
impermanência subtil,
pensamentos descuidados.

De tudo senti
de tudo já vi.
Venha mais por aqui !

Que alma minha é
neste corpo decadente
onde milénios de fé

esperaram pelo momento
em que a Luz Grande
tenha o seu final alento.

E depois?
Venha outro tanto,
por quem sois!

(Zé Cortes, 21/7/2008)

Jupiter Trine Uranus !... just a reminder, folks

This was on my birth date and hour, according to my chart. I am just posting it so that I can access the text wherever I may be, nothing to it, just my thing.

(I do want that, within the near future, I will start posting more interesting things about cooking and as well about my life experiences as a cook and as a human being, but for now, I take a break.)

Jupiter Trine Uranus

Being receptive to future possibilities is the most important way in which your true future will manifest. Ideas and concepts abound in your mind, and these must be acted on, in order for them to become real. Of course, you don't always have to bring your concepts into manifestation, but you are possessed of talents in the realm of future vision which are unusual and need to be used. Taking your abilities for granted is one way that you avoid having to push yourself into higher development. Whether you are able to make anything out of your ideas will depend on your level of motivation. If you are lazy and like things the way they are, then you are more likely to use your mental constructions as ways of moving through the day without having to confront reality. But if you really see the wisdom of your mental wandering, you will realize that you must make them into some tangible expression, probably creatively, in order for them to live in the way that they were meant to. Your talents are meant to be used creatively. The flow of ideas is the creative muse in action. To waste what is divinely given is not only unethical, it is allowing the mundane to overpower the spiritual in a way which your own conscience tells you is not right. Use your power and enliven the world in which you live.

There are no coincidences, only hard facts

True... who have imagined, when I created this blog's name, more than a year ago, that King Food would be what I would be doing now in my last Job?

That's right, my last boss was the King's Chef, in Belgium of course, Portugal is a Republic.

And more, much more, now I realize...

This is why I claim that there are no coincidences, just signs confirming your path. You just have to feel when you are going the right way. Sense and be true, to you and others. This is all you need to move forward. Let go and believe. Never be afraid.

Try it yourself... Let me know...

Why is it so difficult to make decisions...


Try to decide between 10 million Euros and 12 million Euros. Which one do you choose? Easy: None or the highest value. Right? Everything should be as easy, but it is not...

How do you choose between staying in your country and develop your own cuisine in your own restaurant, already opened, but not yours yet, or going to France, to a new restaurant, to be opened, working with two Great French Michelin Starred Chefs and in a place such as Dijon?
Tell me. How can I choose ? Both are huge leaps for me. Both are huge challenges. I love both choices, both ideas.

I think that I already know what to do, but I am still not 100% sure.
Leave me some comments on this, please: Help me decide...

P.S.

I forgot to mention that I am presently discussing with a major Portuguese t.v. Production Company, the possibility of having my own T.V. program about cooking.
