The Church of Perfect Liberty is all about world peace. We pray for World Peace, we sing songs for World Peace, most of all, we do our best to live our lives to reflect a life of Perfect Liberty. World Peace begins with us. The title of this post Viaje comigo is the first line of a song we sing in Portuguese written by Joerge da Paixai and Tereza Onaga, the song is Trem da Esperance. The Train of Hope.
this is the English translation.
Let’s travel together
on the train of high hope.
Sit here beside me
On the seat of Love
Let’s travel together
On the train of high hope
At each station stop
we’ll leave a bright flower
Please join with me
on the journey of life
We’ll carry messages of
peace and of love
We’ll finally arrive
at the place of World Peace;
The engine driver is
Oshieoya-sama
It is mean to be sung in Portuguese, the music harmonizes with the words, but the English translation is beside the Portuguese so we know what we are joyfully singing. The message is clear, live with love in your hearts.. share the love. let us all be ONE.
We have life today because of the ancestors that came before us. Utilize the Makoto )sincerity left by your ancestors to live today to the fullest.
Haga valer en el presente el Makoto de sus antepasados. (Spanish)
O hoje existe gracas aos antepassados. (Portuguese)
Love translates into any language, it is easy to forget as we ourselves age, that our elders have lived and experienced the same joys and sorrows over their lifetime. Try not to squander your days and nights on actions or non actions that you may at a later time come to regret.
Never forget to express love and appreciation to those in your life that matter.
Chinese Moon Gates, symbolize gateways, passage ways to a mystical “beyond”… their architecture in gardens had them so one could see the full moon, and enjoy the vista beyond. Some day we will all cross over the threshold of today, and when we do we will be ancestors to those we have left behind.
By increasing the feeling of appreciation to your ancestors, your life will be more enriched.
And remember to do your best to smile, sharing a cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
Realize tudo com um sorriso!
Irradie su entorno con sonrissas y expresiones alegres.
Namaste – Oyashikiri
Please note that I will be in holiday mode for the next week or so, posts may not be consistent.

(I have kept his text and wording, Rev.

Tiago, or call)
One of those days, after I finish my missionary work, I went to my place to spend some time with my family. After a while, I was surfing online, reading some news and checking on several websites when I saw something that attracted my attention. It was a link for a video on youtube of an audition for The Voice show in Netherlands.
I saw this guy standing in the middle of the stage, an ordinary guy to be honest, that like so many others, was trying to be accepted in that contest show. But, from the moment that Mitchell Brunings opened his mouth to sing, the mood of the judges and the audience completely changed. After the first two lines of the song, all the judges pressed a button and turned to see who was singing. (Pressing the button means that the contender was accepted into the show). Mitchel Brunnings made everything seems to be so easy to be done. It was really incredible.
He was singing this incredible song, Redemption Song, by Bob Marley. But, his voice was so incredibly similar to Bob Marley’s that everyone was in shock. However, what really amazed me was that, it seemed to me that the song was not coming out of his mouth but from his heart.
I consider myself a fan of Bob Marley, but somehow, I never listened to that song before. The lyrics was so meaningful, so strong, so damn good!!! I was very grateful that I had the chance to watch this marvelous video.
But this situation made me think about something. In all fields of art, there are some genius who are capable of creating the same kind of good emotion in our hearts. Those people are capable of creating such a masterpiece that can make fill our hearts with joy, hope or even make us cry like little babies.
In that sense, in our lives, there are wonderful examples of people who are doing their best, living their lives in a masterful way. Living in a world like and being able to notice that we can be happy at any time is a wonderful thing. Just now, I remember part of this famous song:
“And I think to myself, what a wonderful world”
I had prepared this post last night before heading to bed. I had a very musical evening of sleep, =^_^=…
