It's on again. And again...

Ok, after a many months of not writing a single thought in here, I thought it would be nice to restart again, some friend told me that had been missing my blog entries and another one (my ultra best friend) inspired me a bit, since he's doing the same with his blog: http://neonmanu.blogspot.com/

So, this post will be a bit of an... Update of ME. How egotistical is that? lol.

I'll be brief, so we can move to the fun part of this blog, where I upload music and silly things.

*UNIVERSITY:

I've been completely under pressure by different kinds of papers, exams and assignments to do, so, I've been a bit sleepless and with very little time to blogging. That's why I've been so lost... Currently, I'm a bit loose in the academic aspect, but it'll be tough again in a few weeks.

*GYM:
Very relevant, right? Well, I'm still going to the gym, even though I lost a few pounds of muscle mass during the holidays. I'm not as fit as I'd like to be... But well, I'll have to sweat my bum off and drink some kind of milkshakes to get all buffed up.

*KABBALAH:
I'm still going to the Kabbalah Centre and I've been learning a lot about this wonderful wisdom, nonetheless, the oponent and my ego have been a bit (very) out of control. Nonetheless, I'm still learning and loving every single moment of the process.
I took the Power of Kabbalah 1 and 2 courses, and then I took them again, but this time with my bf. Also, I took the Reincarnation course which was truly amazing. I'm still going to Zohar classes weekly and I'm now involved in the Project Zohar, which consists in donating Zohars to certain institutions (such as embassies, schools, hospitals, police offices, etc.) and fill them with Light of protection, prosperity, wisdom and much more. So, it's a wonderful job and I've been doing it with amazing colleages.

I've also read the following books:

*Beyond the Blame - By Yehuda Berg.
*Becoming Like God - By Michael Berg.
*The Secrets of the Zohar - By Michael Berg.
*The Ten Luminous Emanations - By Rav Ashlag.
*Kabbalah on LOVE - By Yehuda Berg.

And I'm currently reading: The Kabbalah Book of SEX - And other Mysteries of the Universe.

All of them ABSOLUTELY brilliant, it's amazing how MUCH you can learn and understand the true meaning of almost every issue going on in your life - And find a solution about it.

And I'm completely excited because... KAREN BERG, the woman that brought Kabbalah to the masses, is coming to Venezuela and will be talking about MANY topics that concearn us all, and will make us better human beings and successful in every aspect of our lives. I've already bought VIP tickets. :D The event will be held on Feb. 18th.

*MISCELLANEOUS:

I went to Kylie's concert in my hometown, Caracas! :D It was really mindblowing, trust me. The girl is a doll and the whole show was perfect.

Also, due to Kylie's arrival in Venezuela, I got to meet one new friend and also to meet the ADORABLE Manu in person. <3 I know, it's sad that I get to see my best guy friend every decade or every time Kylie's in town, but we'll discuss that later, haha.

Last friday me and my bf celebrated out 8 months together! <3 Kind of shocking, right? :D But I'm loooving it.

So... Well, I tried to be brief, so don't give me the side eye. I'll be posting some albums, remixes, singles and whatever is available to download, with this economy... lol.

Love & Light,

Simon.

Yes, I know I've been gone for a while.

But I'm back.

This month that just passed was pretty good, I have to say... Many good news and I've been tested by life a few times. Some tests you pass, some tests you fail. But the most important thing is awareness and knowing that you will overcome that issue that is going around your life. Certainty is the most important thing regarding spirituality. If you are not certain that there's a supreme love-giving force that will guide you and help you throuought the journey, and if you don't have certainty in the tools that Kabbalah gives, that's when NOTHING happens.

People always say "I'll believe it when I see it". But they are wrong. You have to say "I'll see it when I believe it".

When you are certain, miracles happen.


------------------------


So, to sum up everything I did in the last month...

*I took the 12-hour lenght "The Power of Kabbalah 1" course. It was just beyond words... The amount of wisdom, knowledge and understanding that I received from my teacher are just amazing. I take a weekly Zohar class with her, but to spend almost an antire day with her is just beyond words.

*I read the book Education of a Kabbalist and I'm reading The Essential Zohar now. The former is just PRECIOUS. It's a book filled with Light, unconditional love and valuable lessons for life. Rav Berg made an awesome summary of the amazing lessons his teacher, Rav Brandwein, taught him through theory and practice. And The Essential Zohar is very interesting and surprising, it explain the true reason of most of the common issues we deal with everyday. I'm eager to keep reading it.

*I went to the little town in which my grandmother lives and spent there almost a week. I did not go to the gym, I just lazed around. Which I didn't like very much, but I thought it was important to share with my family a bit, at least twice a year, hehe.

*My bf and I just celebrated our 3rd month together and I'm a bit shocked. Time flies by...

*Kylie Minogue is coming to my hometown! Caracas! :D I was absolutely shocked when my lovely friend Manu told me about it. And it was announced by Kylie's official website, so I just went crazy. I already got my VIP ticket - Thanks to my adorable sister, so... I'll talk to you about this Kylie topic later on.


And that's it, lol... I've done many things but those are the highglights.
I'll keep posting music and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Lots of Light,
Simon.

Perseverance.

Ok, so I've been going to church (which I love) and to the Kabbalah Centre to take the weekly Zohar classes. So, I've been learning and learning... And I'm glad that most of us don't stop learning, it is a constant growing. When you stop wanting to learn (anything), you stop growing, and that's when you die. Spiritually or physically.

So, all of the Zohar classes have been in a videoconference since our teacher is always travelling to different centers around the western side of the world. But she arrived last week and yesterday I finally met her. :D I had my first class with her in Caracas and it was just AMAZING, I loved it... And the end of the class I met her and she was very sweet, I told her I was a bit new into this but I've been reading, etc. - She invited me to take the The Power of Kabbalah 1 course and to come on Thursday to some introductory class and to bring a few friends of mine. :)

So, I'm totally taking that course this Sunday - It is around 10 hours long, but I'm 100% sure it will be just amazing, filled with Light.

Also, my bf surprised me on our 2month annyversary (?) with this awesome book: Education of a Kabbalist. It is a memoir of Rav Berg's learnings as a student of Rav Bradwein, one of the greatest kabbalists of his time. I've started reading it and it is just precious, filled with love.
Almost a month ago or something, I bought the little but powerful Zohar Pinchas, which is the portion of the Zohar for healing and protection.
And yesterday, I bought The Essential Zohar, which is a summary (made by Rav Berg) of most of the learnings or basic aspects of the Zohar. I'm eager to read it, but I'll do it once I finish Education of a Kabbalist.

And also, believe it or not... Everytime I open the Bible to read something interesting, it ALWAYS provides me with amazing words that has to do with some aspect of my life! I'm just amused...


Anyway, I'll update this bloggie more often, I should... But I just don't have THAT much spare time. lol.


Lots of Light,
Simon.

Kylie's latest video: THE ONE.

Ok, finally little Minnie released a new video for her new single, The One. I read somewhere that it wouldn't have a video, that the next video would be for Like a Drug but would release The One and shit. See? Don't trust rumors.

Anyway... I love the video! When I first listened to that track, I thought it would have a video like I Believe In You. And in some way, this video remiiinds a liittle bit to that one.

And, Kylie (and her label) decided to make the video with the Freemasons Radio Mix! I totally loved that fact.

I definitely love the effects on the video, Kylie looks very vintage but at the same time the effects made the video look very futuristic. Very googie, very populuxe. <3 And very stardusted.
I love the boy in underwear/swimsuit posing around in the video. I think it's the perfect ad for William's Baker underwear line, B*Boy. (http://www.bboyunderwear.com/ ) So, Kylie's a good friend then. lol.

Anyway... I hope you like it and if you don't, no biggie. Let me know what you think of it! :)

Kleerup - Electronic heaven.

Ok, so you might know the Swedish producer Kleerup (Andreas Kleerup) from the classic hit single "With Every Heartbeat" which he made with Robyn - And which I uploaded not that long ago and gave you the link. ;)

So, thanks to adorable friend Manu (who recently created his own blog at: http://neonmanu.blogspot.com/ ) I got to know his track "History" with Linda Sundblad, and I just knew I had to have his album. The song is pure love.

A little frase to address this album would be "Electronic heaven".

It is a harmonic and cohesive journey from the beginning to the ending of it, it features the most modern electronic beats and some tracks might be a little retro as well. And what else can I say? The album is just perfect. Makes you feel like heaven, like floating in the sky - And it has some very blue tracks as well. Blueish, purpleish and greenish. For reals! And the lyrics are great as well.

Nonetheless, this album is NOT a typical dance-your-arse-off album. It is stardusted, but more on the dreamy side of the road. Like, literally stardusted - Sun, moon and stars. haha.

Anyway, it's a must-have, and it's a little hard to find in physical since it was only released in Sweden. And the iTunes Bonus Track edition, provides "History", which Manu provided me, so I'm including it in the file!

Here's the whole tracklist:

1.- Hero
2.- Until We Bleed (with Lykee Li)
3..- Thank you for Nothing
4.- With Every Heartbeat (With Robyn)
5.- Tower of Trellick
6.- Longing for Lullabies (With Titiyo)
7.- Music for Girl (With Lisa Millberg
8.- Chords
9.- Forever (With Neneh Cherry )
10.- 3am (With Marit Bergman)
11.- On My Own Again
12.- I Just Want to Make That Sad Boy Smile
Bonus tracks:
13.- Longing for Lullabies (Hunden & Pipan Remix)
14.- History (With Linda Sundblad)


So, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do - And if you do, please let me know what you think of it! :)

The Chiara Experience. <3

In the last two days I've been enjoying music more than ever because of one of my favorite singers ever: Chiara Iezzi.

The half of Paola & Chiara has really made my week - My week? SHUT UP, my whole year!
Let me explain a bit of everything related to her in the last two days...

Yesterday my lovely sister lend me her credit card to buy two MP3 CDs of Chiara:

The first one is the single Nothing At All, which you might already know. This song is one of my favorites ever and I just HAD to have the single with the 2 other AMAZING songs and the remixes. I just LOVE it, it's a part of me now.
Here's the tracklist:

1 Nothing At All (Edit)
2 Nothing At All (Club Mix Extended)
3 Nothing At All (Babel Remix)
4 Nothing At All (Bochum Welt Remix)
5 Cool Vibration
6 Virgin Mary Superstar (Choose The Light Mix)
7 Virgin Mary Superstar (Human Resources Super Mix)

Also, I bought Nothing At All Remixed, which features 7 AMAZING remixes of the lovely track. I love them all. Here's the tracklist:

1 Nothing At All - Radio Edit
2 Nothing At All - Club Mix Extended RMX By Dj Alex Gaudino
3 Nothing At All - EsseEffe RMX By Dj Skin Bruno
4 Nothing At All - Trans Gender Extra Classic 12 Mix By Dj Mixandr
5 Nothing At All - Babel Remix By Rolando Canzano Aka Dj Stud
6 Nothing At All - Over&Over Extended Rmx By Dj Andrea G-Brasc
7 Nothing At All - DTA Reconstruction RMX By Digital Texture App.
8 Nothing At All - Glover Mix By Dj Massimo Fava


And since I bought the latter CD in PayPlay, I was able to buy one more track from the cents I had left and also to dowload other 3 remixes for free! All of them were of Paola & Chiara.

And last but definitely NOT least: Chiara replied to the message I sent her through her Myspace!
Gosh! When I woke up and checked my email I almost die. She replied to a little message I sent her telling her how much she has inpired me and how she's become part of my life. Also thanking her for all that...
And well, she replied something a bit short, but filled with love. :) To sum things up, she said she was glad to know I found inspiration in her, that it was priceless. She told me a bit about how she felt when she started studying Kabbalah, she wished me the best and said that maybe someday we meet during a Kabbalah meeting. <3 "Let's stay in touch. Kiss u, Chiara".

God, I truly love her. It's amazing how she took the time to reply... I'm so glad I've found her music, really.

So, I am still ecstatically happy because of all this. I really feel connected to Chiara and her music. And I'm happy that, as a fan, I got to stay in touch with not only one of my favorite artists, but one of the persons who have inspired me the most.


What's next? MADONNA! ;)

Banishing the remnants of evil.

(làmed, aleph, vav)

This is the 11th name of God, and it is used to banish all kind of evilness around us.
When you feel your skin crawl or feel uneasy or uncomfortable, it is often the result of negative energy surrounding you.

When you arrive to a new home, your workplace or even to a table at a restaurant, you can feel the negative energy someone left there. Negative energy is something we must be constatfly fighting - But it's not a physicial battle, it's a spiritual battle.

So, with this name you'll be cleansing and purifing dark places.

It is also recommendable to wear your red string to protect yourself from that negative energy.


///////////////

Speaking of spirituality, I decided not going out clubbing on Saturday since I really wanted to go to church next Sunday. And you know what? It was worth it.
I learnt a lot and received a lot of wisdom.
I've been going to Zohar classes as well, so trust me - It is VERY fulfilling.

I really enjoy both activities right now... I can't believe how those activities/knowledge really nourish our souls. They give us lessons to reach for that Light, God's Light.

Well, this period of my life is all about improving myself: physically and spiritually.
And I just feel better than ever.

Birthday Boy.

Ok, so today, July 11th is my birthday! Well, it's almost 12th, but I thought it would be nice to write something before it's tomorrow. lol.

Today I'm turning 21 and I've thought a bit about my life, what have I done thoughout it and what can I do to improve it a lot more. Also, I've had a great time - I hung around with my bf all morning and noon, in the afternoon I went to the gym (can't skip that), then I hung out with my best friend and laaater, I came back home for an intimate family reunion with a b-day cake.

Where's the party?

Well, since I worked out today, I'm a bit tired and it's mandatory to sleep after you workout - It's then when the muscles "grow". lol.
So I'll go out tomorrow, I guess I'll go out with my best friend to the disco and dance nonstop. I really want to dance all night.
Anyway, I'm not like those asses who "HAVE GOT" to celebrate their birthdays - I mean, I've got 3 months off to to that anyway, lol.


So, thank you to all who greeted me and I know who read this blog, lol.


Lots of Light,
Simon.

Kylie Minogue/Freemasons - The One

Ok, so little Kylie Minogue decided to release one of the best tracks (if not the best one) of her album X as a single at the ending of this month. But, we already have got some of the remixes that could be found there.

This track was produced by the AMAZING Freemasons (you might now a little about them if you keep track of this blog) and the result is just perfect. As I said before, "The One" seems like a mixture of "Precious" (Depeche Mode) and "Minimal" (PSB), but with a touch of glitter... OK, it's just gayer.

And of course, the remixes made by (again) the Freemasons are even gayer. It's the tipical remix you would listen at a gay disco with all the dancing queens having a great time. I'm so there.

Aaanyway, there is also an "Extended" version of the original track, which I find very lovely - Improves it a lot.
There are a few more "fanmade" remixes around the net, but I think they are pretty bad.

So, here's the little tracklist of the file (This is not the official tracklist of the single):

The One (Album Version)
The One (Extended Voyager Mix)
The One (Freemasons Radio Mix)
The One (Freemasons Vocal Club Mix)


This single is just brilliant and I really hope Kylie make a GOOD video for this track. I hope you guys enjoy this.

Acquiring knowledge & wisdom - Reaching for more Light.

So, for the past weeks I've been learning a lot about Kabbalah. The wisdom and knowledge you are able to acquire is unthinkable. It is something you have got to experience to understand that feeling. Trust me, it is just great.

The more I read, the more I want to keep doing it. I have to say that it has really changed my life. But how do we change one's life? By changing yourself.

Last week I went to my first Zohar class with our lovely master Batsheva Zimerman, she's the leader of most Kabbalah Centres in Latin America. Even though it was through a video-conference, the Light and wisdom she taught us through the Zohar texts are amazing.

And, two days ago I attended to the Rosh Kodesh, which is a reunion of Kabbalists in which we are told what kind of energy goes around this new month, the obstacles/pain we might confront and how can we bring the best out of those obstacles, how to acquire knowledge, wisdom and therefore, reach for the Light. We also watched a film about the Power of the Zohar, which taught us how influent has been that powerful book in history, regarding science and spirituality. Many people have felt the power of that book and it's something that I really want to buy and deeply study some day.
Then, we made a meditation with a little help from our master, Batsheva, in order to free ourself from any anger and resentment towards anyone who has hurt us and also to try to make amends with someone we might have hurt as well.
After that, we all ate some kosher food and had a good time. The food was DELICIOUS, by the way. lol

That same night I was put the red string, which was something very special to me. I was a bit nervous. I did not know the guy who put it to me, but he's someone very serious and knows A LOT of Kabbalah, so has the right training to do it. He put it while he was saying a prayer in Hebrew and I was thinking (is the right thing) about changing myself and therefore, protect and wish the best to everyone around me, avoiding the envy of bad thoughts towards them, regardless of what they might do to me - Also, I had to think about the benefits and protection (from evil eye) that the red string would provide to me.
I don't know why but, after doing that, I felt a bit moved...

And last but not least, I technically bought 5 books. Well, I bought The Wisdom Box, which contains 4 books: The Red String Book (El libro del hilo rojo), The Dreams Book (El libro de los sueños), God Does Not Create Miracles, You Do! (Dios no crea milagros, tù los haces!) and The Monster Is Real (El mounstro es real).
And the fifth book is Dialing God, which is a dialy connection (prayers) book. (the books are the one pictured at the beginning of the post)

So, I've got a lot to read and I'm eager to do it! Since I'm on vacation I really want to get the best out of them. :)

Oh and by the way, I've been going to church as well. ;)


Lots of Light,
Shimón. (this is for u, Manu ;D)
