Olá! Bem-vindos meus caros amigos e leitores!

Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers!
This post was inspired by Simulation Theory, according to which what we call ‘reality’ may not be real, but rather a virtual reality, a simulation created by a Higher Intelligence. We would thus be part of an ultra-sophisticated computer programme. This Theory was developed taking into account recent discoveries in the field of Quantum Physics. Horrible, I know!😭
Think with me: what if the human habit of watching television were more than just a distraction, more than an entertainment? But in truth, this screen we watch is a metaphor for the greatest screen of all: God's gaze upon us. We are characters in motion, living, loving, producing, making mistakes, all before an invisible audience. Perhaps the whole world is a great cosmic spectacle, where each life is a distinct channel, each destiny a narrative that unfolds at the same time. And perhaps God is not so far away, but within us - the viewer of this great screen and the protagonist merged into the same person.*
If so, free will is not an illusion. We humans make choices, we walk paths, we decide between Good and Evil, between Light and Shadow. But it is God who breathes in these choices, it is He who reveals Himself in our gestures, in our words, in our silences. When we speak, when we read, when we write, perhaps it is only God's language flowing through our humanity, shaped by the choices we have made. In a raw way, we humans only make choices, everything else is God within us. It is horrible to think that we are so little in this life! A kind of Artificial Intelligence living inside us😭(The distant particle that quantum physics talks about) And so, God builds His Work through us!
And yet, one conviction remains with me: what we experience is not life, but death. A waiting room between different worlds. Because life, true life, cannot be just this, this routine, this world limited by pain, wars, masks. Life, I think, has to be something infinitely greater and more meaningful, it has to have something that transcends the screen where we move. What we call life may be just a shadow, an intermittence, the preparation for an awakening that we do not yet know.
Perhaps this big screen we inhabit is just a projection of a higher reality. Perhaps death, which we fear so much, is just the opening of doors to true Life, where we finally discover who we are and why we exist, when we encounter the particle with which we are entangled: God!
As the soundtrack for this post, I chose a song by my favourite band, Muse, called ‘Simulation Theory.’ This song addresses precisely the hypothesis that we live in a reality controlled by someone, whom I identify as God, who is not the same identity identified in the video - They, supposedly an earthly entity. I consider it a divine entity.
O QUE A ÁGUA ME DEU - CONTO
Era uma vez, na antiga cidade de Coimbra, como por magia vi-me transformada na icónica artista Frida Kahlo. Adornada com um vestido de cores vibrantes que fazem lembrar as suas pinturas coloridas e, assim embarquei numa viagem encantadora ao histórico Mosteiro de Santa Clara a Velha...
WHAT THE WATER GAVE ME - TALE
Once upon a time in the ancient city of Coimbra, I found myself magically transformed into the iconic artist Frida Kahlo. Adorned in a dress ablaze with colors reminiscent of Frida's own vibrant paintings, I embarked on an enchanting journey to the historic Santa Clara a Velha Monastery...



Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Olá! Como estão?? As fotos deste post foram tiradas propositadamente para servir a letra da canção da banda Amor Electro que vos apresento no final. A canção chama-se Capitão Romance! Como sabem os portugueses têm uma forte ligação com o mar. Foi a partir desta costa Atlântica que o povo português, no século XV, partiu para a aventura dos Descobrimentos!
Hi! How are you?? The photos in this post were taken purposely to serve the lyrics of the song by the band Amor Electro that I present to you at the end. The song is called Captain Romance! As you know, the Portuguese have a strong connection with the sea. It was from this Atlantic coast that the Portuguese people, in the 15th century, set out on the adventure of Discoveries!
Digamos que o mar teve um papel muito importante na construção da indentidade nacional portuguesa, a relação dos portugueses com o mar está tatuada na alma portuguesa, pois foi através dele, que um pequeno povo escreveu páginas da História Mundial. Mas, ao mesmo tempo o mar é dor, amargura, sofrimento , pois quem partia para essa aventura marítima já não mais regressava aos seus familiares. Por isso o mar é tão cantado na música portuguesa, na poesia, etc..
Let's say that the sea played a very important role in the construction of the Portuguese national identity, the relationship of the Portuguese with the sea is tattooed on their soul, because it was through it that a small people wrote pages of World History. But, at the same time, the sea is pain, bitterness, suffering, because those who set out for this maritime adventure no longer returned to their families. That's why the sea is so sung in Portuguese music, poetry, etc..
Se o que eu quero é navegar
Pelo tamanho das ondas
Conto não voltar
Parto rumo à primavera
Que em meu fundo se escondeu
Esqueço tudo do que eu sou capaz
Hoje o mar sou eu
Esperam-me ondas que persistem
Nunca param de bater
Esperam-me homens que resistem
Antes de morrer
Eu vi, mas não agarrei
If what I want is to sail
By the size of the waves
I count not to come back
I leave towards spring
That in my depths hid
I forget everything I'm capable of
Today the sea is me
Waves that persist await me
never stop beating
Men who resist await me
Before I die
I saw it but I didn't catch it
I saw it but I didn't catch it
Por querer mais do que a vida
Sou a sombra do que eu sou
E ao fim não toquei em nada
Do que em mim tocou
Rumo à dor que houver pra vir
Se eu encontrar uma ilha
Paro pra sentir
E dar sentido à viagem
Pra sentir que eu sou capaz
Se o meu peito diz coragem
Volto a partir em paz
Eu vi, mas não agarrei
Eu vi, mas não agarrei
Letra: Ornatos Violeta
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
For wanting more than life
I am the shadow of what I am
And in the end I didn't touch anything
what touched me
I leave for wonder
Towards the pain that is to come
If I find an island
I stop to feel
And make sense of the journey
To feel that I'm capable
If my chest says courage
I leave in peace
I saw it but I didn't catch it
I saw it but I didn't catch it
Lyrics: Ornatos Violeta
Como nem só de guerras vive o Homem, que este blog possa ser uma fuga a essa horrível realidade! Sabem, de vez em quando, eu acho que vocês gostam de ouvir algo sobre nós (bloggers), agradável e calmo! Pois então é assim, tenho estas fotos no arquivo à espera de uma boa história! Têm já algum tempo é verdade, foram tiradas, mais exactamente, no dia do meu aniversário, estava frio e chuva nesse dia, pelo que tive de as tirar dentro de casa da minha tia. Então pus-me a pensar no que é que eu poderia escrever como texto de suporte e, lembrei-me que se eu contasse a história do meu nome ficaria bem, o que é que acham???
As not only from wars does mankind live, may this blog be an escape from this horrible reality! You know, every now and then, I think you might like to hear something from us bloggers, nice and easy. So, I have these photos in the archive waiting for a good story! They were taken on my birthday, it was cold and raining that day, so I had to take them inside my aunt's house. So I started thinking about what I could write as support text and I remembered that if I told the story of my name it would be nice, what do you think???
