The Environment. For Reflection

2009-06-20T11:10:00.001-04:00

Life, as we all know is wonderful, so much that we often forget this reality, until suddenly life teaches us that the wonder can be lost, corrupted, destroyed, become exhausted and stop being wonderful and fantastic.
~~~
Before going to extremes, let's take action, to improve, to discover, to appreciate our environment and our own humanity.
~~~
The environment -we included- is actually everything, that not only surrounds us but also sustains and also preserves, contains and maintains us. We have got used, mistakenly, to have a certain sense of responsibility to what we have in front of us but the true man looks also and increasingly until he sees no frontiers.
~~~
The existence is like a ring , a perfect and wonderful circle where the all and the nothing work always, as the reason and the proper condition of a perfect equilibrium called Life, which implies and applies that, what is done here, is also done in the universe.
~~~
When we tie, we chain ourselves, when we untie, we liberate. The frontiers only exist as intermediate steps of the stair of Life, which travels in itself, just as the infinite does in time. And time is its mother. And its Father is the eternity.

Happiness

2009-04-23T17:50:00.001-04:00

Q: Can we learn to be happy ?

A: It can't be learned . It has to be experienced , realized , discovered , recognized within as a true experience of life . It is not something that you can read about , or that can be copied or imitated . It has to blossom like a truly genuine experience . However , there are paths , processes , but they are not a replica . Each person has his special way to live and to be . Happiness is to feel love for all in existence . And this is only the beginning . But it's not only to say or to believe that we are happy , we have to experience it . It is not the opinion or the experience of others , is our own process of life .

The Fundamental Beauty of the Universe

2009-04-10T21:21:00.000-04:00

Art, is a deep look of life. It expresses almost everything that man has forgotten and its purpose is to remind man of his nature. The world is not only a fortress but also a flower, a starry sky, a ship in the sea or the energy of life that incessantly flows in the harmony of color.
Art, is the poetry that flows from your heart and my heart and makes that both of us, without haven't seen each other, or even met, can see the eternal and fundamental beauty of the universe.

Beyond Time

2009-04-04T21:09:00.002-04:00

Today, is a new day and just as if we were a tree, we lean on the ground. Sometimes, this ground is not clean, sometimes, the tree is watered with blood, with desperation, frustration, wrath and necessity. But our past, is a story that we haven't finished.

It is where the book begins. Tomorrow, later, our future will arrive. If we have the capacity, the honor, and the happiness of understanding and overcoming our lamentations, we will understand the mystery of evolution.

The greater losses are not the ones of the world but of the heart.

The Differences

2009-03-24T20:41:00.001-04:00

The fact is that our differences do not have a possible conciliation, if I exist, it is too much for you and if you exist is too much for me, and death should not be the alternative. Go, follow your path, do not come back, because if you do, one of us will disappear.

But what can be as large, as impertinent, as violent, as dramatic, as impossible?

Perhaps you still do not realize? They are the Fire and the Ice.

Nobody will be able to take from you what is yours and nobody will be able to give you what does not belong to you.

What do we need the most? Inspirational

2009-03-13T20:08:00.001-04:00

You may have such abundance that you may think that you don't need anything. And that same day, you might not realize, the next day, you may deny it and the other day, full of arrogance, and spite, you will shout full voice:
"Who wants that nonsense? I have the force of the wind, the strength of the mountain, the bravura of fire, the mystery of the stars, the vitality of the sun. What do I need if I have all this and much more?"
You may have all that in abundance, but the day that your madness ends, you will awaken and will be like a withered flower, with not even a petal left. Your soul will be naked showing the bones.
Then, you will not have voice left to declare your fortune and it might not have any value. Because there are some things in life that are priceless and cannot be bought. Things that are necessary and fundamental and that by work and grace of the Creator make us what we are: Human beings.
What do we need? When we lose this, we miss it as the same life? Affection.

Health and Disease. Two Titanic Rivals

2009-03-01T14:09:00.001-05:00

The scenario is the human body. The protagonists are two fierce characters, who have the most sophisticated elements to dominate, control and if necessary to annihilate one another. They confront and attack constantly their weakest and vulnerable areas.

Nevertheless, both are the exact and precise division of the same individual. And, what is the meaning of this? That good and evil happen at the same time and in turn, that the weakness of one is the strength of the other. When one is present, the other is absent.

The violence of one is the passivity of the other.

In good account, they both, are the critical extreme of the other. From the maximum to the minimum and vice versa.

But they can’t separate, because implicitly, one is the maximum of the other. Then, we must understand the need for equilibrium and still go further on. And this means, to transcend these extremes, these opposites. So that these insatiable pair leave the battle and fighting spirit behind. Health and disease, as well as good and evil, are expressions of the rhythm of the natural life.

In the Science of Spiritual Knowledge, there is something more that health and something more than disease. That goes even beyond the concept of balance. Where, everything is perfectly integrated and flows like a ship on the sea. There are no opposites, violence and attacks. Everything is in a natural state, which means abundant unconditional energy. Therefore, the harmony is perfect, because there is integration and a total state of being.

Sharing. Inspirational

2009-02-20T21:34:00.001-05:00

The water that you give others to drink, will satiate yourself, but the water that you do not share, will never satiate yourself.

Qualities and Virtues

2009-02-16T13:09:00.001-05:00

The qualities and virtues of man are not only to be seen when he does good but also and besides when he moves away from him all evil.

Reflection

2009-02-12T17:44:00.000-05:00

In order to reflect about Virtue we would have in principle to be virtuous and how to be even before what we seek to be?
The secret of this paradox is found in humility. This is the smallest and at the same time the greatest of all virtues.
Let's meditate upon this and our heart will brighten up! Every path has its beginning but by fragile that it may be it indicates a great achievement, therefore the road to virtue and accomplishment is always based on Loving and Loving.

The Cause of Unhappiness

2009-02-08T10:26:00.002-05:00

There are persons in this world, who are resentful of the happiness of others, just as if happiness would harm them. Besides, they consider themselves as the only ones who deserve all goodness and make out of their own lives a tragedy of frustration and misery. And why all this happens ? Is perhaps that the person does not have capacity or abilities ? Not quite, the person might have a great capacity of intelligence but what truly happens is that there is no spirituality, there is no commitment to Peace and Love. There is, instead, an inner torment of loneliness and anxiety, for the simple and direct fact of envy. This is an addiction, a terrible compulsion, which lacks love and which also ignores the effort of others, while not wanting to recognize what is obvious since all effort has merit and is an achievement. The envious person has not open her heart, he/she is blind because of the terrible incapacity of valuing and respecting; this is a very lonely life, with great confusion and small consciousness. True spirituality promotes emotional and psychological values since spirituality does not admit hypocrisies, arrogance, pride and self deceit.Then, every one who is not happy has to know that the reason is that he/she does not love, does not miss the need of a human family, of a universal family. But this can change, this must be overcome, this lack has to be faced, it is necessary to win over evil and search for goodness. It is essential to exercise and practice the spiritual life, not as doctrine of loneliness , but as a living practice of communion and universal union. Since, not been happy is path of destruction and death, total abandonment; let's learn to leave behind, all motives, causes and reasons which are not truly reasons of life and let's walk the path of happiness, of peace and let's search for prosperity for all, this is truly humanism, and is spiritual consciousness.

Giving and Receiving

2009-02-04T18:17:00.001-05:00

There is nobility in receiving and even more in giving; there is a celestial order in this process. Who cares for the plant, will receive its fruit and this will give seeds and heaven will have perpetuity.
If we receive and give is because receiving is mutual and in truth there are no opposites. Then, the secret in this brightness is always based on Kindness.

The Differences

2009-01-28T20:45:00.001-05:00

We are different, too different, maybe excessively, and is better to be apart, perhaps is better this way. Maybe is not possible to change, not even to say, to have an opinion, nor feeling. We are forbidden of everything, forbidden of feeling, of touching, of everything even of nothing. The fact is that our differences do not have a possible conciliation, if I exist, it is too much for you and if you exist is too much for me, and death should not be the alternative. Go, follow your path, do not come back, because if you do, one of us will disappear. But what can be as large, as impertinent, as violent, as dramatic, as impossible? Perhaps you still do not realize? They are the Fire and the Ice.

The Eternal Flowing

2009-01-24T14:35:00.002-05:00

To meditate is as seeing the flight of a bird free and spontaneous, posing from time to time among the tree tops and then retaking the flight as wanting to be fused among light and heaven. Always free always happy. Because life is and will always be an eternal flowing in the great universal harmony. And this is the treasure that meditation give us.

Trust. Dignity. Respect

2009-01-19T22:01:00.000-05:00

Trust is the foundation of our unfolding as human beings. This means to build our consciousness with the highest values of dignity and respect for everyone and also means, self esteem and self respect. Trust is an inner force, which we are able to live and to transmit when our heart does not know deceit since to be real and true, is of great importance in the spiritual path and is the foundation of the inner and outer peace. To be able to realize and live in a world of peace and prosperity, is essential to protect our mind and heart, acting in the right and fair way. This, will increase our faith and the heart will start vibrating with the purpose of Love. And trust will flow, filling us with Love for everyone. Let's cultivate the purity of heart and action, since this is true spirituality.

The Art of Living

2009-01-17T11:40:00.002-05:00

When we look at a snow capped peak, we can distinguish its age. Maybe, it has as many years, or even more than man on earth. But all this in the infinite wisdom of Spirit is as blinking.

The knowledge of man, no matter how much, will always be as a grain of sand in front of a mountain. That’s why, spirituality is not a path to increase information but is the art of living one moment at a time. And this may seem superficial but when we are alert and awaken, we don’t consider reality, beyond ourselves, but we are in that precise moment, unconditional beings integrated into an universal breath without frontiers in the universe.

That instant is eternity and in truth is everything that we have : An unconditional present.
For the mind: This is to contemplate in a serene way. For the body, this is harmony. And for the spirit, this is to flow.

The Mysteries of Man. For Reflection

2009-01-15T20:17:00.002-05:00

I was once trying to understand the mysteries of man and while meditating, I found myself in the middle of two cities. It was very late at night and everything was dark. These cities were very different, but somehow they had some resemblance. I wanted to watch what was happening and I saw these two men, each one in a different city. On both places, there was a light on, and these men were working very hard. They were shoemakers and both were saying at the same time: " I want to conquer the other city because no one is worth the effort here " The funny thing was that both wanted to conquer, not their city, but the city in front of them. A whim of destiny, had separated these men, since they were born together as twin brothers but unfortunately, after losing their parents, they had been separated and given to two different good working families who had raised them and helped them become shoemakers. And by even greater whim of destiny, they both made the same shoe models. They would come and go from one city to the other, working very hard and doing very well selling their shoe collection. But they always would think to themselves: "No one appreciates my work in this city, but in the other city, they certainly do." And they did not know that each one of them, was supplying the other city. They had not realized that the shoes being sold in the other city, were similar to the ones sold in their city.

Then, I could understand that man limits himself, thinking that nobody appreciates him. And he also thinks that he must make an extraordinary effort to reach some stability and he does not realize that the greatest peace, tranquility and happiness are found in his own hands. He looks beyond but in fact everything is always here, not far away.

Temperance. Reflection.

2009-01-07T22:01:00.001-05:00

Thousands of years have passed, the world has changed, man has modernized. Nevertheless, everything is the same.
The flowers may be different because time transforms them, but their roots are the same. And tomorrow will be the same and it will incessantly stay the same.
What are the changes, then, that we see and the large separations that arise among generations ?
The truth is that man has practiced and has played to be man. What seems to be separation are only empty spaces of identity, consciousness and freedom. But nothing has changed under the sun.
The inner child is still living in the depth of man, discovering, guiding, making mistakes, falling down, getting up. And also making of every mistake, not a defeat but a preamble to make his dreams come true. And the spiritual vision maintains serenity, temperance and a deep meditation. What is the benefit of this teaching ?
At times, life may seem to change radically : Where there was success, disgrace may come, or from disgrace, hope and success may arise.
What do we need to understand then ?
That the universe moves, acts and expresses through cycles. The great changes and differences only mean that we are returning to the beginning.
This is the reason that spirituality cultivates serenity, since through it, we will see beyond the changes and then, reality will never abandon us.
