Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar by the Spirit Gustavo Henrique
Your heart threatens to succumb. Evil seems to have a life of its own– and it does: the one which men bestow upon it, with their mental forces (as there are also those who, more foolish, actually dedicate themselves to it) in the physical as well as in the extraphysical realm of existence.
The temporary estrangement from the field of good you allowed yourself does not matter, if you really decide to start your way back now, as long as you are in the process of returning, it does not matter if you stumble or fall.
I do not want to see you unhappy any longer. You should not be sad, but thoughtful, ready to rebuild a better world, from the rubbles of the past. Do not dwell on past scenes of mistakes, but focus on the possibilities of success that smile at you right now, motivating yourself to creatively produce more sophisticated and efficient defense mechanisms (to avoid surrendering again to your negative inclination), until the complete elimination of the undesirable tendency and the canalization of your forces toward the field of the good.
You do not need to reach the deep end of hell to start the journey back. At any time, you can make yourself aware of the condition of misdirection you’re in, beseeching the Forces from Above and, simply, starting the process, without waiting for ideal situations, which, in fact, will never happen. The more you procrastinate the beginning of the effort to return to the Father’s House, the harder it becomes.
Stop all empty grievances now. Turn the sullying moment into a purifying oven of the metals that lay hidden in the mines of your heart, creating, with a practical and objective spirit, resources to favor their effective manifestation in the material world.
You will win, dear friend. It is only a matter of time… and you may, very well, decide that this time is today.
