Please: 2 - Do not even try to visit
us during this festive season. One Million people in the streets
is a crowd (and that’s just the local residents).
If you do not speak the language you get isolated and very lost. Having fun might change into a personal nightmare. And
if it starts raining, or you could get sick with swine flu? As this is not an invitation more details
are further down.

Rekindle your Dream for another year. |

Tamales nativo |

5 - Tamales can be traced back to as early as 5000 BC Those were the times before money existed. You could not buy food you learnt how to feed
yourselves. On their long exploring
missions tamales served as a nutritious and portable
food for Aztec, Mayan, and Incan warriors.

- Large
festive gatherings to the waterfalls and thermal springs,
to camp and party for a while on fermented beverages (beer) and later for a few days on the beach. From border to border, masses of people in transit, walking on the 10 meter wide stone paved, public road - Interamerican Highway that still exists to this very day overgrown by jungle, yes, because there are no more people left to fill these roads.

rain, to welcome a new day from
a high peak to watch the rising sun. And all
the children of Sibo open their arms to embrace the Sun Diwo. Even the flowers open their faces and give perfume, to
greet the sun and call the insects to a feast. 9 - And Iriria the girl, is happy and smiles and
the sun dries her tears, called the morning dew.

11 - Inner light to dream, to clearly see what we should do to make Sibo-Sula happy in this new year. So
they can be proud of us. Because it was the era when man had
honor and pride in his word. The
result of the supremacy of objective reason, is Bio-Logica. 12 - Therefore
if you speak for Life you
dictate with the voice of a living God.. Speak
for Idréa - our Cosmos, with
conviction and authority to
shine with the brilliance of all of us in
togetherness.

of Sibo, the living God of the Tico Tribe. It does not matter who is behind the Mask "In the name of the living decree". 14 - “Do not eat unless it is passed over the fire” and man started to eat iguana.

15 - “Do not drink water unless it is
passed over the fire” And man learn to brew beer and
herbal teas to cure many ailments and there was a population explosion
of great proportions in the river people in Egypt, in Africa and Southeast
Asia as with the natives of the Americas because man have discovered the perfect food.
This beer also
had Oxitetraciclina terramicina to heal all ailments.

16 - all life is equal
and sacred Not
one should go to waste let
the speaker of the truth build in words and
picture a new world in the mind of man around Life our living God as the center of all. live and let live now
immerge many many new laws for money, about love
and even animal rights.
17
- before eating to bow your head for a moment ask forgivenes in respect for the living you are going to enjoy. Amen

All LIFE is Equal Sacred and not one should go to waste |
18 - And let us remind you that,
about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” meaning, 'My God, My God, why are you abandoning me’ This was the moment he realized the god within, meaning Life, was abandoning him 19 - These were His last words:
“Father in your hands I deliver my soul” So the world can share and know these sacred words - as knowledge of Life. Today His memory is still with us and many await his return to Life. He is the symbol of Life, meaning, a living God. We are all alive now.
20 - A true
teacher of Life says farewell to money because teachers of the knowledge carry that knowledge in their hands for the living wherever they go. The true curandero will heal both body, and
soul and not charge a cent. Everybody dedicated to Life
has no bigger reward than the pure knowledge of it all it is like
a digital debit card without limits. Knowledge opens all doors, overcomes all obstacles: the power of knowhow After all, by
"native law." you only have, what you can carry away with you

|
You only have what you can carry away |
Now listen carefully to the
Magic Words. Please, in the name of life and the living It is a petition that cannot be refused. A petition that is without reward you only have 3 things to do like 3 wishes. Please give to life and the living grow and make food for the world give a full belly just imagine, a kitten contentedly
asleep. Food brings contentment, harmony and peace.

Make it
an art to know how to live in peace - with your neighbors and with nature, without destroying it. Share with all - it is evil to be a hoarder of space and things you are
not even going to enjoy. Hoarder of gold to hang on your
ears!
Join us everywhere and light us a candle all these
evenings until year’s end in a celebration to Life and the inner light to see your future very clear and bright.
