The Art of Flowing. For Reflection

Spirituality has as foundation, the personal relationship, between man and God and between God and man. It is important to understand, that spirituality does not exclude the relationship of man and nature but is also important to understand, that man does not adore the creation but he adores the Creator.

Therefore, he honors the creation and he also honors the creatures, as well as life in all its expressions and he learns the art of living from all of those expressions of life.

Man is not the center of the universe but the center of the universe is everywhere. Therefore, the center of the universe is also in man. And man is also in the center of the universe. This is called, to flow. The universe flows, science flows everywhere and in all parts that conform life.
Life flows into each being; and into each being exists the universal being.

The universal being is the active principle, by which, the all is alive. And this primordial breath, who comes from the great mystery of the Creator and who is the essential foundation, that takes form and is the consciousness of each individual, has contained in itself, the great essential breath, in which is found the secret of being born and dying. And where is found the secret of the consciousness of being.

The sea flows, the wind flows, the light flows at daybreak. Each one has its time. Each one has its rhythm. Each one has its movement; and its movement seems to dance, to change, to transform like the seasons, like the hours, as day and night, like the aging of man, like the changes that a seed experiences, in order to germinate, grow, bloom and become a tree.

There are mysteries that happen in the flowing. To flow is not only to continue in a straight line. It is to expand, to contract, it is to go up and come down. It is to walk and to fly. It is to speak and to be silent. It is to laugh and to cry.

To flow is then, the spontaneous foundation that makes the mind free, even of itself and makes mind, consciousness, vitality and energy, an inexhaustible source of immense, intense and true life.

The essential secret of the immortal spirituality is in the Art of Flowing.

The True Resource

It is true that in the world we can see plants and animals dying of thirst, their white washed bones completely withered, made us understand that the final time have arrived.

This scenario as well as others  where we see ourselves falling into an abyss, or moments before a fatal accident, or being mutilated by a bomb, captured and tortured by the enemy, abandoned in miserable conditions, bleeding to death, from a fatal wound, whether of the body or of the feelings, deceived, rejected by society, or from those beings whom we trusted but all this turned into deceive, falseness, scandals and slander.

 

It might be that we are facing the bitter weeping, the hardest rejection,we may be  on our knees, slapped, stamped on, without illusions, depressed. It might be that we feel so much pain that we can’t even breathe. The suffering may be so unbearable, heartbreaking and even humiliating. It may be that we feel that it is better to die one thousand times.

We may be living such horrendous things, that we might think that we are going mad, that nobody can suffer as much as us. This desperation and discouragement may be because of the loss of a loved one, death took from us the being for whom, we lived, dreamed and had planned to live with.

Everything may seem chaotic and evil. Without hope, the doors are closed, heaven turned into bronze and earth is cold, dry and hurtful. Our feet and hands bleed , our tears are bloody red, our heart agonizes with the hardest tortures, even cruelest that we imagined.

We may have the greatest deception of life, we may have been made fun of , deceived, turned into scum. We may even curse ourselves, thinking that we may be to blame for our behavior and we may even carry the natural affront of guilt.

We may feel as assassins, persecuted  by justice and soon to be captured, these situations may happen and even more.

And when everything seems to be lost, there is a resource for man that will not free him from guilt nor from the inner suffering but this resource may transform everything and turn this into the biggest miracle, the most extraordinary and wonderful happening. This resource  begins with crying out asking for forgiveness from God, the supreme Creator.

True Love will Never Die

 

 Yesterday morning, very early, sun was shining and I was in a very beautiful field of leafy trees with green leaves of intense and lively colors, some were adorned with flowers and others with fruits. Birds were fluttering around and colorful butterflies seemed like little cherubs. What a beautiful place! One could breath peace and tranquility. A small brook nearby, seemed to sing and talk. The field was wide, green and wonderful.

I closed my eyes thanking God for this wonderful gift.

It was just for a moment, then, a very strong noise as roar, as thunder, forced me to open the eyes. The sky was cloudy, the clear blue, the luminous day had turned, somber, dark and dreadful, with whirlwinds loaded with stones, big, gigantic, as furious demons, who were roaring in such a way, that my bones were trembling.

I saw how those beautiful trees were uprooted, the brook dried and the green fields, became as open wound, as dry skin, while the birds and butterflies, also disappeared.

In a twinkle of the eyes, those evil winds  -because there was no other explanation, destroyed everything. I closed my eyes again and asked God: “Please, stop this curse, what is the reason of so much destruction?”

I opened the eyes again and all that beauty was gone. It was as, one moment  love to the beloved, that then becomes, destructive unfaithfulness.

There was nothing left. My heart felt as if all the heaviness of the sky was pressing it against a hard, indifferent earth, absent of Love.

God! I said, looking for consolation, while my stunned  eyes,  looked that view that seemed like one of war, where all had been lost and finished.

I fell on my knees to the ground , with no strength left and I closed my eyes again. Then, I heard a voice saying: ” The day has not ended, and many more will come, what you just lived, has happened in the lives of many persons, but if you have faith, I will give you, a new life, a new heart, a new sky, that will never pass.”

I, then, opened my eyes and in front of me, in a surprising way, a small seed was sprouting, that tree had germinated. And I understood that the field would be reborn. I believed in the spring hidden in a new earth and new sky that will never pass.

Time went on and on, it was not easy, but that heart went on beating again, the birds, the butterflies returned and a new world more beautiful than the previous one, began. The small brook, was always happy and I thought that I heard a voice saying : ” True Love will never Die.”

True Friendship

People were searching for the most positive and collaborating person, in the town of this story; they wanted to find the model of good friend, meaning, not only who gives support in happiness and sadness but who promotes and wants the best. And with this purpose in mind, they placed big signs, and distributed pamphlets, saying: ” Reward, we are searching for the True Friend “

  

The day of the event was set and -as expected, many persons came along with rivers of people bringing music bands, food, abundant gifts. Others, also came, making all kind of promises, some, even a little drunk, while others were talking about their own experiences. There was a great diversity, that seemed like a fair of give away and gifts. Three days passed and finally the turn came for a man, who was empty handed and  wearing simple clothes,

  

- Where did you leave the gifts, the wine and other enjoyments? How do you dare to show yourself in  front of us without anything to offer?  he was asked, while they look at him contemptuously, as if he was fool or mad and he was requested to make the promise of bringing something and to offer his excuses.

 

-I knew about this competition but I did not mean to be part of it, since I only want to share part of this happiness, which would be enough for me, just to be able to see  the joy in you, would fill me in a moment, and would make my day. But I understand that you were expecting other things that I can’t give now, since I am a humble man of the fields, who watches you pass every day, and who is able to see your lives, somewhat, while wishing you all the best. My work is hard and my hands bleed at times, while working in the fields, but I can only think of offering the best to you. I did not bring anything. Your happiness makes me happy but I am leaving now, I do not want to bother you.

 

These words, somewhat, went into the hearts of all the persons who were there, who clearly understood, that they did not know the true meaning of Friendship. While that humble man did, since the true and real Friendship can’t be bought or sold, can’t be exalted, prostituted or spoiled. Friendship is like the flower of the fields: natural, spontaneous, sincere, true and humble.

 

And that day in that town, the true meaning of Friendship was discovered.

Spiritual Strength

There are paths difficult to travel , to reach . Specially the ones that are very high near the stars of the sky. Each step that we take, seems somewhat, that we have gone back one hundred years. How can we reach the goals if destiny seems to oppose ? And the highest mountain, which is the most distant, most impressive, seems so far away. The strength is an evolved form of commitment and determination. It is also assistance and realization that tomorrow comes after many days.
Where does this commitment come from ? What will bring the mountain to our feet ? Spirituality is a science of life. And life is to be born, then to die, and to be born again. What is important is the understanding that for a step to follow the other – instead of anguish , there must be that which transforms the weak man in strong and conqueror. It is more than patience, it is the science of a mature love, who does not look for miracles but looks for the understanding not to torture if he/she can’t understand everything immediately.
Every day is a universe of real and unreal experiences and by balancing them, only the best stays. Because the best is not the goal, but the path. And that is why, no matter how high the mountain is, no matter how impossible to reach, it will happen because there is conviction instead of haste. The conviction of the spiritual man is in what is good. And this is not initiated with life nor ends with death because it always is present.

Understanding Each Other

I have been able to understand that the night is more than a dark sky and that the stars not only shine but that the night also dreams with me and I now realize beyond what I see, beyond what I think, because now, I can also understand with the heart.

Prayer of the Soul

　Who lives in darkness, yearns for light. Who goes to sleep with sorrows, awakens with desperation.

The human soul sometimes is too afflicted, too wounded in order to ask for help and makes her highest and last effort and surrenders to the feet of the cross.

Lord, you who suffered and suffer the pain because of Love. You who are pure and innocent and immolate yourself, please Lord, do not forget that there is a sinner in front of you who wants to change. Save me Lord and fulfill the will of Love. Take me from the calvary to redemption and make me Lord, a new being. Give me a heart full of Love in order to better serve you and make that we now together, sinner and redeemer, embrace forever in the pure and unconditional Love, the Love of God.

Let’s not allow Love to die

If we don’t water a plant, how long will it live ? If a very sick patient is not taken care of, will he recover ? Probably, his health will deteriorate. And if there is neither order nor discipline, will we reach the goals ?
When a person tells the other that he/she is in love and is loyal and makes a commitment, does he mean it, or is he saying only empty words ? When we look for the Divine Presence do we do it because we need to overcome something mainly material and we want things to change and then we forget ? This is very common. This is the cause of illnesses of many types and the spiritual is the most delicate. What happens is that is not taken care of, is not provided, is not sustained, because we are not taught. And the heart, the intention, the good debilitates, loses heart, agonizes and it is strange to say, that in order for Love not to die, he has to be alive. And, of course, Love always has to be alive and not in any kind of life, but in a quality life with surrender, dedication, filled with purpose and foundation. Throughout my work experience, I have found that what hurts the most is to consider that Love is automatic, self sustained and indifferent.
Or to think that everything has been done, has been given in an instant. And Love, does not need to be renewed ? And I ask myself does every human being need constant attention. Or should we eat once or should we breath once in our lifetime? Of course, the path is made by walking with constant steps. There is much sorrow and grief for the ones that do not try hard in their divine relationship with Love by surrendering and making it grow, every day.
How can we leave a child without a hug ? How can we leave the relationship pass without a kiss ?
How can we stop loving God for everything that He has given us? We have to be conscious that Love requires of gratitude, consideration, appreciation surrender. And what is Love and who is Love ?
Love is everything : The air that we breathe, the earth that we step on, the food that we eat, all the beings around us, even the ones we will never meet. Because the journey of life must have as goal, the victory of realizing and the victory of living Divine Love, who is, God as primordial source and the universe as a vast field, where to plant tenderness, care, happiness.
Because in order to live, we have to be real, we have to love diligently, with respect, decision, responsibility and consciousness.

The Voice of Love

The one who meditates keeps silence to listen to Love’s voice. He closes his eyes to look at the inner light since beyond the external images and the outer sounds, the inner wisdom is found. But this, will not always have to be this way since someday the light of love will flourish everywhere, illuminating everything and at the same time will be as a wonderful music that in turn, will fill all the spaces. The one who meditates yearns for eternity but not because he wants to escape from the world but rather he wants that someday, the world gets to be light and song of eternity.
