Spirituality

Spirituality, as everything else, requires of delicate attention. This does not mean that spirituality will suffocate our life and consume our time because it is the Love that we offer, which must always be active, disciplined and never forgets its commitments and actions giving courageously, the best from itself.

We could compare Spirituality with a tree, which extracts the essence and transmits its own substance for the benefit of all the ones who require it. And under the serenity of its presence, transmits peace, with a solidarity feeling, a selfless Love, which is never absent, because is always permanent and alert.

It never abandons us to our own luck. It never deceives because it does not follow lies. Its face is always in front of the sun of Justice, Truth and Love.

The Meditation Process

Meditation is a process in which the spiritual experience develops and deepens. It first starts with simple, basic and general experiences such as been alert of the present and or self awareness but then, meditation offers another kind of benefits that are more certain and solid and which allow us to perceive what we were hiding and denying. But now and by virtue and benefit, it is revealed in a warm atmosphere of understanding and discernment.

One of the benefits of meditation is to be aware of our limits and also to discover how to overcome them. The human being usually is negligent towards himself and even more towards the others. That is why the spirituality is also discipline because the inner changes of man are not only produced by wishing but by conscious effort and it has been said and is fair to explain that spirituality is a grace and a gift that is received and the explanation is that the gift received is a seed that has to be cultivated. That is why it is so much proclaimed the need to keep and to cultivate the spirituality. Because it is true that it is grace, divine gift but it is also a commitment and responsibility. It is a meeting that requires participation, sincerity and loyalty. Meditation benefits make us aware of our real position in the path to the communion with eternal “Love”

The Initiation

The day has arrived to understand the hidden mystery of the flower of life.
There is so much to learn, to discover, to know. And in this way, to give the laws that truly establish the order of things, and to realize as personal experience, the living experience of the universe.
While the understanding of the language of every kingdom of Nature, is revealed, to conquer ignorance, in order to overcome death, to defeat fear and to always have the power of true health. Then, let the book of knowledge, open, in front of my eyes, and let the chains of my mind, and my heart, break.

May I have wings, to furrow the firmament, and depth to touch the bottom of the seven seas. May the powers will not hide from me, neither their meaning.

May I make friendship with Science, with Art and in the most perfect silence, may I contemplate the truth, with no space of separation and to be, just as the sun and the moon, and in this way, to be only one: life, man and the universe, without been different one from the other.

For that reason, learning, can be one of the greatest virtues, since is not only
to be informed, documented, to investigate, but is to internalize, in such
a way, that our understanding becomes the idea of our idea and foundation of the spiritual depth where we live and we are, for ourselves and for others, that is to say, the experience of knowledge, gives place to an awakening of consciousness, which, brings freedom as its natural consequence.

Because the walls that were closed and did not allow to see the light, have been broken now, making darkness and ignorance, to vanish.

To learn is to honor, to learn is to listen, allowing a superior good to happen to us, by taking and burning in the fire, deceit, lies and doubts. To learn is to be born to happiness, because this takes us to value, appreciate and definitely, to Love.

The learning is only accomplished with practice, the knowing is only accomplished with persistence, and there is only advance, with tolerance, patience and only the practice, gives place to skill. This, makes the heart of the perfect adept of knowledge, more humble, making his will, firm.

The strength in this path, is the power of absorbing the information, so it does not overflow into vanity and arrogance, since the learning and the knowledge, have its traps, and we have to be very alert, in order to stop the immaturity of mind and heart. And, then, in the depth of meditation, to extract from it, the substance, the essence of been free because of the aroma of the spirit that emanates.

To learn is to know and then to leave behind, what is not real. And, the mind, then, will witness, its own integral dissolution, in the abundant source of the flow of life, getting to know in this way, the art of knowledge, the spiritual rebirth, which is the sum of all the knowledge acquired.

Just Be Yourself

The human being, often is, a complex psychological mechanism. This, may seem absurd but in reality means, not wanting to assume real responsibilities. And mainly, looking for constant self justification and running away from himself, for the only reason of maintaining tranquility and control. But this is a self deceit attitude.

It is sad, that people keep hiding behind many masks, avoiding to have self knowledge while making constant rituals, out of life. They hide their own feelings, which they cut off, before they bloom. These are depressed people with a mask of spirituality or honesty and with supposed great sense of solidarity. And who can be found in every place and condition, forming part of a team but they hide behind the other persons, since they don’t want to be themselves.

 These persons are condemning themselves to failure in all they do, in every type of relationship, they will never get to be happy and if they are, is from a posture of self defense and negation to life itself. Many aspects of human evolution, follow this process.

The spirituality is a conscious practice, where it is truly lived, and is not a path followed in a blind way, confusing this attitude with faith, which has another meaning. Faith, is a true commitment to spiritual communion, where the process of analysis and thought are related to accomplish excellence in every sense.

 Life, is to be lived with intensity. This means, to love the process of getting to know and to discover the best that we can be. Divine Love, does not want us to be blind, ignorant, fanatics or simple mechanisms, but rather to realize the best talents of living. There is a great difference between living in constant fear, pretending everything is fine, while being self deceived, or rather, living a life full of spiritual plenitude.

Let’s start by asking ourselves : What do I understand ? What is the objective of the spiritual life ? How to discover its meaning ? Why is Love, good ? In this way, and by taking life in this true and responsible form, we will be a true and real being. Let’s not pretend what we are not. Let’s be the best that we can be, for the good of all.

We Need to be Sincere

In order to understand the art of connecting to our Inner World, we need to be completely sincere and this means to have a constructive self-criticism.
We would like to awake and as in a dream be filled with wisdom and understanding but dreams are only dreams and as such are only possibilities.

In order to reach a true spiritual experience, we need to face reality and this is reached when we understand the value and influence of our action and non action since it is there where we can conclude that the spiritual science is very natural and elemental. That the work and mystery of the creation of the sea and the stars is not something that escapes our sensibility and understanding but that the requirement is that we must have the orientation and courage to Love but truly Love.

About Loneliness

 The townspeople got together with the learned men of the town to ponder over profound subjects. They were thinking that they knew a great deal compared to the others, that they were learned men and the rest were ignorant. And they decided to find a simple uncomplicated theme to see who could explain it better. And they decided to choose ” Loneliness”
Many eloquent speakers were attending and they spoke and spoke incessantly. They would speak with philosophical attitude and posture: ” Loneliness is a mountain, it is the winter cold. Loneliness is the depth of the sea.”
And they were applauded by many since in truth, they all wanted to be heard and applauded.
The turn finally came for the Madman, because his presence was always requested since they all wanted to make fun of him. And he said: ” The mountain is accompanied by the trees, by the light of the day and also by the stars. The depth of the sea is accompanied by the cold, by the fearsome darkness. The winter is accompanied by heavy coats, by the crying of old people and children who cannot find with what to cover themselves. Then, nothing of those to me is loneliness. To me, loneliness is to be here reunited with so many indifferent persons who do not want to listen to anybody but themselves. To me, that is loneliness, a world where union is not cultivated but its opposite. “When the townspeople and learned men heard those words, they said: ” That man is crazy.” And he answered: ” In truth, we all are lonely in this place.”

What is Essential?

More than a reflection, is a prayer. More than a prayer, is spiritual communion. If we unite all these processes, we turn this into a being, which is true and real.
Time passes but the good and holy works, will stay even beyond the end of the times. Because what has been delivered to us with Love, is a full, spiritual life and nothing can kill it. I am referring to one of the aspects, of the dimension of the experience, of the spiritual life, in the work of a living faith. Another aspect is, that this realization promises and is reached when man embraces faith and also embraces the foundation, of the spiritual victory. Then, he also knows the sacrifice of Love for the realization of Truth. Because is very certain and necessary to know that there are many paths in the world, which are different and far opposites, but what is always needed is to abandon evil completely.
In these times, when humanity seems to forget the foundations of surrender, charity and sacrifice. Let’s reflect about what is essential.
Life is not a chimera. Life is, and always will be, a path of light, fraternity and surrender. Man has to walk towards eternity, by going deeper into worthy and sovereign truths. Love does not have frontiers. Love is the only and eternal reality.

The Best is still to Come. Spiritual Narration

This is the story of a small family who worked during several years and were able to build a beautiful house, small but practical, where they had all the necessary things. It happened that the family went on a trip and when they came back they found that while they were gone, their house caught fire and had become rubble and ashes. When the family saw what had happened, they became very sad and this was the reason that they were late to their jobs and -since this was one of those strange days, their employers, told them: ” We don’t care about your personal problems.” And they were fired. Since they didn’t have where to go, they decided to get out of the city and to travel in a ship, but when they arrived, they were told, ” To take this ship, you need to have reservations in advance -three days ahead, so you can’t take it.” Then, they decided to travel by train and when they arrived to the station, they were told, ” This is the heavy season and there is no space left for you.”

Then, feeling completely lost, they decided to keep walking out of the city, but in their path, they found several hounds, ready to attack them, thus, they had to run and hide in a nearby mountain. The path was very difficult but they finally found a cave and decided to spend the night there.

But they were sadly surprised when they found the cave be filled with serpents, so they had to keep climbing the mountain but a big rainfall started, making the walls of the mountain very slippery so they had to climb to the top and when the afternoon came, they stayed watching the lights of the city. But to their surprise and horror, they saw that first a very heavy rain followed by a strong lightning hit the city, starting several fires that burned and completely disappeared the city.

The next morning, the city was only ashes, the storm had been so powerful that
also hit the ship and many scattered pieces could be seen from the top of the mountain since during the night the ship crashed against the rocks and all the passengers disappeared. Besides, the train, due to the heavy winds, derailed and nobody survived. But they had another surprise, since the mountain suffered because of the heavy rain some parts became loose and when this happened, they could see that there was a hidden treasure inside and they found a great fortune in a chest.

Then they realized that although everything seemed to be lost when they looked back they found that if they had sailed the ship they would have been shipwrecked, if they had taken the train, they would also have died. The serpents made them keep climbing. The strong rainfall made them climb to the top, where they did not want to go. If they would have kept their jobs, they would have disappeared with the rest of the townspeople.

There are mysteries and things that we can’t decipher, we might even feel and think that we can’t do any worse, but then, we see that after all, the best is still to come. What a luck, my bad luck, since it might seem as death, but in spite of everything, I always, always return to live.

The Richest Man

This person was traveling life’s journey with only the necessary to live, but he found in his path -by works of destiny, with another person, who asked very little from him but even though it was very little, when one does not have, then, even a “little” seems a lot.
-This person is asking for what I have, which is almost nothing. But I am going to share, since life is not only to be lived for myself but “to live is to coexist with the universe.” Since this person who asks is also myself. I don’t have much, just a little more than nothing but anyway, I will share my bread, he thought.
He, then, divided his belongings in two portions and told the other person:
-Let’s share what I have, take what you need.
-I don’t have anything but a great need. Your help is rather my wealth, you have freed me from poverty, you have become poorer in order to help my condition, replied the other person.
-No, you have not made me poorer, since you taught me that the little that I had, was a lot. You, then, made me rich, because you who said was poor, have given me spiritual nourishment since you helped me to share. Though, many things will come my way: riches, appreciation, understanding, respect, friendship and gratitude. When I look at you, I see myself and I renew my values, my efforts and my dedication, said the traveler.
And the man asking answered:
-I see great nobility, and a firm decision to do good in you. I see a man of faith, of principles and compassion and because you have a selfless heart, I will reveal you a secret. I am not the beggar that you thought, I am not the humiliated man who has nothing, I am not the man suffering, the abandoned man. I am an angel who came from heaven to see your heart and I found with great happiness and joy that you are the richest man of the world since you have been capable of Giving and Sharing. That is the reason, that I reveal myself to you, so you know that you have the right path. You have more wealth that a mountain of gold, you have a pure, noble and gentile heart; the perfection and grace of the fraternal love is reflected in you. You know the supreme value of wealth, of needs and the true reality of Love.
After saying this words, the angel embraced him.
And the one who shared, not only duplicated what he had, but he had in abundance and his wealth could only be compared to the sky and the stars, since he knew from that instant on, that God is present in the gift of Giving and Service.
