Being and doing in the world

Be the plumb line of balance and harmony, wherever and with whomever you are.

Show fraternity and make yourself useful and generous in all circumstances.

Touch the heart and awaken the intelligence of the people you live with or those you can reach, helping them to set out on the path of the common good, of the service for the happiness of all.

Rest assured that there is no authentic joy that does not pass through the sieves of conscience, that does not respect the criteria of peace, that is not based on the correct fulfillment of one’s own duties.

This proposal for an attitude toward existence, however, does not imply that you should always be affable or resigned to what happens to you or around you.

Often, expressions of courage and authenticity, as well as of loyalty to your principles and to the causes and individuals within your sphere of responsibility, will require you to take an energetic stance in defense of your own feelings or those of others, of moral or cultural heritage entrusted to you by Divine Purpose, compelling you to draw the sword of the good fight¹ for the sake of collective good and peace.

This is the paradox inherent in the precepts of the Christ-Verb Jesus: “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword”² and “My peace I leave with you; not as the world gives do I give to you”³. In other words, the honest and mature devotion to an ideal encompasses dealing with the conflicts that the complex human reality necessarily presents.

In short, raise yourself to the level of wisdom essential for you to really become an agent of the Heavenly Light, in any situation you encounter due to the intricate and unpredictable Flows of Life.

Being empathetic without being pathetic nor surrendering to the pathological and the temptations of the diabolical

Guilt indicates that someone has empathy and a conscience – and is therefore not a psychopath.

However, with regrettable frequency, it degenerates into guilt syndrome and its various corollaries: emotional self-flagellation, physical self-mutilation, psychological regression to infantile attitudes and all sorts of self-destructive or destructive reactions, which not only prevent the offender from using the painful energy of realizing their own mistake for self-knowledge and self-improvement, but also impel the one who falls into their subtle and dark meshes to burden themselves with more guilt and more karma, in counterproductive conduct.

To be constructive, guilt must be converted into repentance. And the contrite individual needs to find out where their moral issues to be settled are.

Once these evolutionary demands have been discovered, then comes the time for the creature to exercise responsibility: to mobilize themselves to correct their faults and make reparations to those who have been the victims of their bad behavior or, in general, to make reparations to other people or different human groups for the karmic debts acquired as a result of their unjust action or inexcusable omission, striving to earn spiritual credits that they can amass in the good to be done, in as much better quality and to a greater extent as is feasible.

Thus, even though fallible, if they are self-critical and proactive, the genuine seeker of the Light assimilates the experience of their mistakes, transmuting the driving force of the fall into a dynamic of self-improvement and transcendence.
