- Philosophy, Architectural Fees & Costs
-
I advocate for a profitable sustainable practice.
I am a person who seeks truth and knowledge for a better living.
Besides surround myself with a group of people who share the light, I feel that my personal purpose can be summarized as follows: Create Quality, Knowledge, Sense and Create with Principles.
I am a person who wants to live in a better world in every way, and I constantly effort in working internally to externally reflect the positive change I want to promote.
I appreciate freedom as well the intellectual and emotional discipline, I enjoy feeling integrated in a group of people who hold each other appreciating beauty, seeking knowledge and enjoying happiness.
I am enthusiastic, optimistic, embrace joy, I think the best is yet to come, I believe that life is about perception, and this can change from inside out.
I like to get to know the reality of the world in which I live, to understand what is behind the apparent, to see the true light.
I don't believe in servitude, instead we are here to solve problems and create alternatives for evolution.

Controversy about the release of the movie prototype.The movie began as an Idea
This idea was allowed to evolve as production progressed. As the project gained momentum, a love story commenced to form… The movie stirred up controversy from the beginning, and on the day it was scheduled to be released it was subject to a provisory injunction ordered by people who were afraid of the content. The screening was cancelled.A project made with Love
Pure artistic passion fueled this film, and that’s exactly what gave this project the power to persevere. The movie exposes the underground music and alternative nightlife in Montreal and their ideals of; happiness, love and freedom of lifestyle. A multilayered story told from the minds and hearts of the party people of rave.caBeautiful Life
There is evil and ugliness everywhere but there is also beauty, it is my belief that life is beautiful for those who choose to see the beauty. Thanks to everyone involved in the project, you have a place in my heart.
Life should be a party!

MYSTIC Entered Apprentice Mgi HMQEII
State of religious perfection that consists in the union or the contact of the soul with the divinity. To learn one's unique True Will and to achieve union with the All. There are two great systems in the body of man: the tree of life, which is the arterial with its roots in the heart; and, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, i.e. the nervous system, which has its roots in the brain. These two "trees" are physical manifestations of a complicated network of branching energy currents in the aura or superphysical bodies.
