Freediving

Una tarde en el azul de el mar

2008-02-27T13:38:00.000-08:00

Recuerdo aquella tarde casi a la caida del sol separado de la costa,tratando de mostrar yo a mi amigo mi virtud de bajar.De repente entre las olas picadas de ese gran azul,y volviendo a la superficie aplenos metros de mi,detecto un gran pez que se levanta mostrando toda su inmensidad;no era mas que el famoso Pez Dama..En mi reaccion de pensar no supe que hacer solo presenciar a mi amigo entre la orilla y lo profundo casi ahogandose del susto al cual acudi.Ya en la orilla y en medio de una minima calma pudimos divisar aquel Gran pez que desde lejos mientras caia el sol jugaba con el mar.

Entre la creacion y el creador

2008-02-27T13:04:00.000-08:00

Me crie cerca del mar Caribe, a solo tres cuadra de la costa, pasaba oras enteras en el mar pescando submarino y difrutando de su belleza. Con solo subirme al techo de casa podia divisar la gran bahia con su vista, era algo agradable pero aun habia en mi interior un vacio .Estaba tan cerca de la creacion pero no conocia a su Creador. En 1990 salgo para USA Al llegar a este pais alguien me hablo de una fe , de aquel gran amor que despues pude descubri; era como haber difrutado antes de algo sin saber de donde provenia. Despues de varios años volvi a sumergirme en el mar ..esta vez mas conciente de todo -cada vez que me sumerjo se que el esta en mi, se que el me enseña y me guia -puedo ver la relalidad de su amor y saber que me sumerjo con aquel que por muchos años no conoci "Mi creador" cada momento ahora se me hace exelente , se me hace divino ,y el mismo con su paz me invita a seguir: Amigo si tu sumerges en su creacion tambien puedes conocer su creador..

The story of the young freediver

2007-04-13T13:06:00.000-07:00

The story starts with a child who was raised by the Cuban beaches - each morning he would enjoy a new adventure - that of delighting himself in the ocean.

His desire to freediver kept on growing - he never had a diving suit- though it was one of his dreams
but one day everything changed and many of those things came to pass... being a young man
came to foreign country with his parents - without imagining that like a divine appointment he was going to meet one of the freediving champions... So he was able to get himself a few diving suits and equipment and the most important thing is that this young man got to know God and the faith with which he has a better understanding and is able to fully enjoy everything...

This person never got to compete but is marking the lives of many freedivers in terms
of sharing with them the knowledge of God and with a greater vision of what the sea means.

This person being older goes back to his native land and sitting on a small rock near the waves in the ocean shares his story with a group of children and young people... As he does that he sees himself that what he has accomplished with a final thought - full of peace and hope and says these last words pointing one of his fingers towards the ocean-
you see that? that was always my passion - but one day it won't be anymore - for the hope
that I have is for better things and it will be true one day - it will be reality and it will be the best and asks them a question:

Are you a freediver?
Surely have you known God?

The physiology and psychology of the freediving

2007-04-13T08:51:00.000-07:00

Do we really know the psychology behind freediving? Do we know the concept of mind, heart, the air we breathe? Do we know the God of the place we sumerge? There is a lot to talk about this and we would need pages and pages to clarify something so simple " Love the Lord yor God your (heart) and with all your (soul) and with all your (mind) and with all your (strength)" If you see in this commandment- God mention the most important organ we use for freediving. There you can see the physiology and psychology of the freediving

Breath

2007-04-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

Breath (according to the Bible) : Air coming out of or into body of a living being. Two Hebrew terms are translated,Breath" Generally NESHAMAH is used in a milder manner to refer to the fact of breath in all forms o life. RUACH refers more to the psychological idea of breath by relating it to one's own will or purpose. This is in keeping with its primary meaning of spirit,wich either refers to the inner force of a person or the essential nature of God. The term neshamah is often used with reference to God's breath. It identifies God as the source of life ( gen 2:7; job 27:3; Dan 5:23 ) God is also the sovereing of life. He fave breath to humans initially in creation ( Gen 2:7 ) ,but He also takes breath away eventually at death ( Gen 7:22, job 34:14 )God has the power to restore life to the dead if He wishes to do so( Ezek 37:9 ) He controls nature and the weather by His breath ( job 37:9,10 ) Neshamah is used several times to refer to human breath. It identifies breath as fragile ( Isa 2:21,22 ) Breath can become weak ( Dan 10:17 );it is limited ( Gen 7:22 );I kings 17:17 ) Breath may be taken from a person,thus experience of death ( josh 11:11 ) by offering Him prase ( psalm 150:6 ) Ruach describes the more intensified aspects of breath. It refers God providing human life in the same manner as neshamah ( Gen 6:17 ) By breathing out speech ,He created the heavens ( ps 33:6 ) His breath also sustains life ( Job 12:10;Ps 104:29 ) By His breath He even restores life ( Ezekiel 37:5-10 ) Repeatedly in Ezekiel 37:5-10 the term ruach occurs in word plays on its meaning as breaths wind,and spirit. It is used to affirm the possibility of giving life to the dry bones. In a unique way ruach is used to demonstrate how God monitors life. Breath is regarded as a sign of life ( Gen 7:15) It is also an indication that God is always watching our lives ( job 9:18) This became frustating to Job because he wanted to be free from the pressure of knowing that God knew everything about him. God even knew the strained relationship between Job and his wife who came to detest Job's breath ( job 19:17 ) The New Testament contains a few reference to breath as the life principle which God gives ( Acts 17:25) and as the migthy wind at Pentecost ( Acts 2:2 ).Acts 9:1 use breath to express Saul's anger as a breathing of threats against the early Christian. In john 20:22 Jesus breath the Holy Spirit upon His disciples. primarily as spirit or Holy Spirit . In Revelation 13:15 it refers to the power to breathe life into the image of the beast.

Rescued by God

2007-04-13T08:36:00.000-07:00

It was one morning while I was doing spearfishing and coming afloat at a certain distance from the deep - when I noticed that my soul and strength were vanishing in that blue deep ocean and I could only see rays of sun that penetrated - I had no control over me and I couldn't tell where I was heading or where was the surface or how deep it was - suddenly a violent fear took over me and without expecting the help of anybody someone helped me ascend little by little until I was able to reach the surface - I breathed and looked at the sky and looked ahead to the coast and I looked up again and I appreciated life with more sense.

Fue una manana mientras pescaba submarino entre aquel azul y los rayos de sol que penetraban y ascendiendo yo desde una cierta distancia de profundidad cuando note como mis sentidos mi alma y mi fuerzas se iban desvaneciendo - ya no tenia control de mi y tampoco podia distinguir en que rumbo me dirigia y cual era la superficie o lo profundo..De pronto un violento temor se apodero de mi mientras clamaba en mi interior por la vida- y como algo divino y con la ayuda inesperada de alguien mi cuerpo se vio ascendiendo poco a poco hasta que logre llegar a la superficie-Alli Respire y mire al cielo-mire a lo lejos la costa -diriji mis ojos de nuevo hacia arriba ..entonces aprecie con mas sentido la vida Esto sucedio mucho antes de ser cristiano pero conviene para mi recordarlo pues cuando mis vida desfallecia en lo profundo estando solo en aquel lugar alli estaba Dios

A poem almost from the sea

2007-04-13T08:34:00.001-07:00

Whem I see faith in the light of the depth of how I feel like both together-I almost wake up from the dream and I see my past my desires and then what should I do with that?... I ask my myself . Intstantly new strength to compose are revealed in me putting together each idea and comparing the past with the new to the point of coming up with a poem-almost divine-almost from the sea-I will provoke once again to exalt the name of the one who inspire me "My Creador"

Cuando veo la fe a la luz de lo profundo siento como si ambos caminaran juntos-casi despierto de el sueño y veo mi pasado y gustos y que hacer con esto me pregunto ? Al instante nuevas fuerzas de componer se revelan en mi entretejiendo las ideas y comparando el pasado con lo nuevo al punto de brotar en mi una poesia casi divina casi del mar provocare otra ves esto exaltare el nombre de aquel que en todo me inspira " Mi creador
