LIFE IS NOT A SCHOOL
Life is not a school, our soul already knows everything, we are here to recreate ourselves, to experience what we only know in theory. The soul longs for experience, it wants to feel. We are here for this, the soul wants to experience itself. You can know that you are generous, but as long as you don’t do something to prove it, it will remain just a concept.
The soul wants to transform the highest concept of itself into the greatest of experiences.
Above all, the soul pursues the highest sensation of love that one can imagine.
WHY DOES SUFFERING EXIST?
In the world there is suffering, there is evil, there is darkness because we cannot know who we are until we come across what we are not. If there were no darkness, we would not know what light is, we would not recognize it; we would not know what warmth means if we did not experience cold, happiness if we did not experience sadness.
Therefore, by incarnating, we have induced ourselves to forget who we are; experiencing everything we find the path of reminiscence, remembering who we really are, returning to God.
WHERE SHOULD WE ARRIVE?
Is there a destination? No, the universe is infinite, once the highest glory is reached, we will go in search of an even higher one, in an infinite process. And it is a divine nature to always seek to be better.
GIVING UP YOUR PASSIONS
There is no need to give up your passions in order to pursue spiritual growth. What must be abandoned is expectation, yes, freedom is living life without the need for specific results. The soul yearns to do something about what it is, because in this way it can know itself in its own experience, through action. This impulse is called “passion“; suppress passion and you will have suppressed God.
The ascetic renounces results, but never renounces passions; without passions, you cannot even say that you are living.
TO BE AND NOT TO DO
Therefore, yes, do what we are passionate about, and do not waste time doing other things (a life spent doing other things against our will “is not a life, it is a death”), but the ultimate goal of the soul is not doing, but being. And this does not depend on doing. The soul seeks a condition of existence, not a condition of activity. In doing nothing, the soul experiences being God.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO
No one should do anything they don’t want to do. Even if responsibilities suggest otherwise. For example, being a parent requires responsibilities, but everyone has their own experience, if ours calls elsewhere, we should not oppose it. As parents, we should try to make our children independent from us as soon as possible.
IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF SPEED
There is no wrong path on this journey to God, you cannot fail to arrive, it is only a matter of speed. Therefore, we can rest assured.
