How to see God? For Reflection


The presence of God, is something that we must learn to recognize, starting in our own life. This is only possible when we can see God in the whole universe. But if God is spirit, how can we see Him ?
The answer is simple when we understand the meaning of the spiritual teachings. And the explanation is clear and very easy.
Spirituality, has to do directly with the personal way of feeling, acting and being in regard to the Love that we feel towards Peace, Justice, Truth. And for a world with a shared consciousness and committed to general good.
Then, to see God is to see how He acts in us and in others, allowing them to abandon selfishness and lies, doing then, the vision of the spirit and the true spirituality of a genuine being.
But, not only we contemplate and we know God in this way but also in the recognition that nothing is by chance or that things happen by whim or destiny but rather, because there is a just order.
Here, for example, we can be confused and think that there is no right order, that the world that we often know has plenty of mistakes but what we have to see is, that in spite of the mistakes, there are persons who are genuine and noble.
This is a simple reflection but allows us to know and to deepen in a path in which we will be able to realize much more of what we had thought, as long as we work on being conscious and alert of the presence of God in everything that exists.

Fantasy and Reality


There is great importance in reflection. There is great value in analysis, in the inner look, in order to have the opportunity of renovation.
This is the story or legend of a man, who, one day, as he was passing by a mirror, discovered that there was no image reflected. And he thought that this was a joke or a trick.

He insisted, in other mirrors, but his image was not reflected in either of them. And he thought: " I have died, and of course, I can't see myself, I don't have an image. And now, no one can see me, but I can see everyone, I can feel everyone." And at this point, he felt a strange mixture of loss and madness, and this experience was so intense, that he started trembling to the point that he simply woke up of the dream, since he was sleeping.

And in front of the mirror, of that mirror, he observed his image incessantly, and he felt: Bondage, madness and freedom. The first experience was not to be able to see him in the dream. He was held to his image. Followed by the madness of losing control and the second madness of having to maintain control. And then, the first image, of losing the identity, and then of being tied to the identity of the same image.

We are then, a constant paradox, between to see ourselves and not to see ourselves. Between being known and being unknown by others. If we truly love life, the problem is not what we thought we were, but simply to look beyond the mirror, beyond the image, beyond reason, madness, power, and control.

Man must learn To Be, simply, To Be.

Tolerance. Inspirational. For Reflection


Some persons think that happiness is found in tolerance. And this is important, but is only the first part.
Since, is like saying : I have two eyes on my face, one to see the good, and the other the bad. I have two hands, with one I try to do good, and with the other to do bad. I have two feet, one of them takes me to the right path and the other to the wrong path. But I only have one heart and I can't divide or separate it, and in truth I don't know which way to go.
Tolerance, by itself, is blind and deaf, like a night without stars or a withered flower condemned to die.
True tolerance is effective when is joined to Love, then, it does not tolerate out of tolerance, but out of Love. And Love is never passive but active and always in search of good.
Then, tolerance and Love form an alliance, maintain a methodology and always bring Peace.
Tolerance alone is a plastic and cold smile but with Love is fraternity, friendship, comradeship, justice, peace and victory.

Hidden Truths. Inspirational. For Reflection


As the sun does not go wrong or forgets his course. As the flower, awaits, as faithful lover the arrival of the light, and opening its petals, meets him, without modesty, giving in as the first time, the only time, the eternal time. As the river looks for the sea, and does not stop until joining together.
There are simple and profound things, that we see, that we know, that we contemplate every day, but many times, we don’t pay attention to their importance in life.There is a cause, a motive, a reason, for everything, that makes the heart feel restless, and calls our attention when we truly want to know about the reality in distant worlds or dimensions, where the stars are created, or about here on earth, where the trees grow, where life moves, where man exists, where life acquires for us, the most complete dimension.
What could motivate the infinite, to follow his path, as if embracing new spaces? To discover and to know, even for an instant, the answer to so many things.!
We certainly, are not born by chance, but from the profound mystery, that has made us, into a melting pot of races and which are conceived as only one specie, as only one humanity, which sleeps in the arms of a giant, who embraces her. And he is the time, who is craftsman of existence itself, who motivates man to feel love, to desire, to want, to be a mixture of forces and powers, which can’t contain and which need to face each day with renewed illusion and vehement devotion.
The one who is alive, knows it, because he loves life, because not even for an instant can separate reality from his dreams, since his soul is potency with the thirst of learning, of discovering more, and also of flowing, navigating the seas of life with a feeling of belonging to this wonderful life.I feel the warmth in my skin, and experience, the path, the walking, the taste, the aroma. Life motivates me to live, to understand, to be, but not only about what I can become, but also about everything: a universe to live, a life to realize.
Life is constant motivation, a journey in the infinite, where I would like to embrace the whole earth, even the skies, I want to reach.
My breath, motivates me as fire extending through my veins, because I awake to the communion with everything in existence. Because life is a dream and a happy awakening, and also is the meeting with the people I love, and is to feel them as my own skin.
Life is beautiful and even if death, would come, life would never be gloomy because she lets me know the meaning of been and awakening.
There is no real separation between matter and spirit, is an integral good, a continuity, a flowing, while eternally the same being. Because, the soul, the body and the spirit, are not and will not be many universes that separate them, they are as hands and fingers, apparently they are different but united among them and inseparable as the lips and a kiss.
The spirit is the breath, the body is the movement and the reason is where all share, where what seems different, becomes one. Life is a constant vibration that shares without measure in the consciousness of a divine love.I don’t run away from anything, I assume everything, I surrender to everything.
Does the sky resent the blue of the sea? On the contrary, he is as the sun reflecting its golden color in the sunflower. Because spirit and matter are not two separate forces and the soul is the dwelling forever.
How to separate love from the beloved and how to separate, from the dreams, its fantasy and candor?Life motivates for its mystery and for its charm and man, by touching the earth, certainly is a mystery, and he is in the center of creation because his own mystery is his breath made flesh, his presence made form and his substance.
Creation motivates me to life itself, which I love and will love forever.

Self Control. Inspirational


We usually try to define a subject and usually end up by been redundant and without a clear and definite explanation. By example, when we say, the word, "relaxing," are we tranquil and calmed, maybe? In the same way, the term "self control" has been defined, as control of ourselves, but this explanation deserves to be improved and explained. Self control is not a method of action or individual sensation, beyond other psychological, spiritual elements, but rather, the result of many processes and sub processes at the same time. Self control comes from processes as intimate and personal as self love, directing us immediately, to take responsibility for the action . And not because, we may feel that we should take action in a certain way, but it means to take action in a disciplined way towards ourselves.Self control evolves together with other processes, becoming more complete, as discipline and order in life. Then, this self love also is a conscious commitment of been alert and to watch for possible mistakes or confusions. This will take us to the method of self control, which needs of study and reflection, discipline and practice, which will crown, this logical, practical and realistic goal. But, there is another self control, deeper and more complete and perfect: The Mystic Self Control, derivation of an important spiritual experience, not only of visions, and perceptions of worlds, planes, or superior concepts, but from an experience of grace, that increases and is explained like this: When, spiritually, we receive Love, this mystic experience, liberates man from selfishness and transforms the personal love into universal Love. Then, man acquires equilibrium, and temperance which are integral and are not found in motives of conflict or frustration, and that heart is in equilibrium, and can't be confused because of his peace and serenity, reaching, then, the mystic contemplation in the flowing of his spirit, which is constant emanation of grace, serenity and calm.This self control is spontaneous and free, without conflict and contradiction. Now, going back to the beginning: By observing our actions and consciously guiding them, in an initial form of control, which will keep on developing, because this comes from spiritual strength, which looks for peace and plenitude of grace, and this is the reason, and the path to control: Self look and self analysis and to choose the appropriate method for not breaking the balance, between our will and the universe.And this self control is an intrinsic and explicit answer to the behavior and equilibrium that exist in man and the universe. The spiritual self control is more than reasoning since comes before motivation of faith in superior virtues. At the beginning, good is imitated or copied, then, with study and reflection, self control becomes the method of life, which will be applied to our whole being. Self control is not a sentence, sword, or thorns in the heart, but rather is the order in a song, as rhythm, melody, perfect measure of the notes and silence to reach the desired goals.

The Difference between Want and Love


-How confusing is the thought, how conflictive is the reason.-
In this kingdom, there was a king, who used to say: " I am a great king because I love all the habitants of my town and I love them very much." He used to say and say but when I saw the townspeople, I noticed that they had sad faces, hunched shoulders, sad look in their eyes and broken hearts.
And I asked: " What's happening?"And they answered: " We better don't say since our lives will be in danger." And I kept asking others, but received the same answer until one of them gave me his explanation and he said: " This is a cursed and wretch kingdom where we all feel abandoned. The one called king is crazy and says with great excitement that he loves us very much. And because of that affection, we all feel abandoned. For that king, we are his toys and he thinks that we like of his play. We don't have freedom or any way of expression; he asks us, to laugh, and we laugh; then he asks us to cry and we cry. In his sickening affection, he makes us live, feel, what we don't want to and he says: "I want this for you" and even though, we don't want it, just because he wants to, we have to. Our life, has turned into his whim, because he says: " I want you to come" and we have to go. " I want you to go" and we have to leave" We neither eat nor dress, nor have a natural life. That king who says that he loves us, kill us with his affection"
Then, I left the town with the clear understanding, for the first time, of the great difference between want and love.

Meditation


I was meditating in front of the sea, its color is simply wonderful and it perfectly conjugates the green emerald with an exquisite blue. And being as it is, sea, also has sky sparkles with rhythmic waves and swirls of ocean foam that always seem to speak of peace and tranquility. I could calm myself in front of the sea. It is pure Nature, a generous mother, a source of conciliation and of renewed virtues. Now, when I close the eyes, I also discover the sea within me and I have found that we will never be able to separate.
Meditation unites in such a way that it makes us to discover our natural foundation of life.

Vitality and Permanent Youth



The Spiritual awakening offers more than intellectual wisdom and serenity. I am referring to a very important and significant aspect, which is known as immortality. This immortality is better understood as "Vitality and Permanent Youth."
How is this possible? The spiritual energy covers all the areas of existence. That is why, the effect of its benefit is given in the function and reason of the universal force of life. This force is found in the whole universe. For this reason, as far as youth means, this is a renovating energy, not only positive but also superior.
In other words, the one who meditates following the spiritual path, maintains a serene mind, free of violence, negativity and free from all evil. When this happens, all nature flows with the best quality of energy.
The vitality, then, is a natural consequence of a condition of universal harmony. This happens from the moment that the energy of the human being develops in a circular form and is called the energy wheel or chakra. The persons who have a spiritual manner, develop the attitude of synchronizing, uniting and integrating. In this form, the whole universe integrates with man. And man integrates with the whole universe.
The permanent youth comes from the lasting joy of loving the universe in an unconditional way, because life is one.

Be the Best You can Be. Inspirational



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.

A Superior World to Decipher...


In the painting there is a drop of encouragement, of magic in the colors. It has dreams and brightness on each brushstroke. It opens its petals for you as a flower.
Come and see. Come and dream. Come and share because life celebrates in the infinite combination of light, shadow and color, a superior world, that you must decipher and discover.

Inspirational. The Link between Harmony and Surrender.


Good health is the lasting search for harmony.
Harmony is the practice of peace.
Peace is the humbleness of heart.
Humbleness of heart is the fear of God.
And the fear of God is the unconditional surrender.

The Spiritual Hunger. The Conceptual Mind.


The spiritual hunger is not satiated with knowledge, because it is not satiated with the intellectual thing, but with something that makes the conceptual mind overflows; therefore the exclusive and necessary thing that will satisfy the spiritual hunger is Love.

Embracing Love.


How beautiful is the elegance born from tenderness. It is a flower that almost does not exist. If you find it in your path do not let it pass without loving it. Because tenderness needs the innocence of more than one heart.
Tenderness is nourished of sweetness, of friendly refinement , born of pure reason. It has the innocence of the one who, without ties, always embraces Love.

Bonds and Bonding. Inspirational.


Each human being is born with a bond with which to reach what they want the most, but sometimes, our wants confuse and take us to our destruction.
We may bond with ambition, or lewd. And other bonds or connections are with science, technology or pure fantasies.
There are some who think that they have to bond with life and they bond with poetry, good values and commitment.
While others bond with the submissive silence.
Some bond with the light of the day, and others, on the contrary, bond with the night.
Some bond with the smile and others with sadness.
Everything is possible, feasible, but what is not acceptable is to bond with nothing. The one who looks at his bond and denies the embrace, comes to be worse than the blind person, because he does not see because he does not want to, he cannot feel because he does not want to, he does not want to love or be loved, does not want to feel the warmth in his skin.Poor person, who will accompany him? who will tell him something? If it is not science, or poetry, it is only the emptiness of a lost life.
If you have your bond, take it, use it, otherwise, the day may come when life will not smile at you and your bond will only trap the emptiness and in that emptiness you will have to live.

The Bell Maker. A Short Story.


Some time ago, I listened to a story that seemed hard to believe. It was about a man who made bells and this is the story.
He was thrilled because he was loved in return. But his happiness lasted for a short time because his beloved, got sick and died in his arms. But she promised: " I am leaving first but call me and remember that I will return to you"

He was very sad. And he buried her. That night in the cemetery he called her but she did not come, she did not keep the promise and he cried and cried. He kept calling his beloved but she would not answer. He could not see her, felt her. And he would call her in a loud voice and shouted and shouted up to the point that the people threw him out of the town.
He went into the fields where he kept shouting until he was left with no voice. His desperation was such that he tried to make every possible noise but his beloved seemed not to listen.
And he kept thinking what to do. Then, he made a woman out of clay but he was not satisfied and said: " I want to see her in another lasting form because the clay will break." And he made her out of metal and embraced her with such spirit that the metal vibrated. Then, he said: " Love, I can feel you now."

And the first bell was born in this way. And now men are happy making bells. Every time they make them better. Some are made out of glass others made out of gold with precious stones and others with sweet rhythmic sounds.
Going back to the story, He said: " Can you listen. Can you listen?" And he laughed with great joy. And the man rescued Love from death, by making the happiest vibrations.

And tell me, who are the ones who when listening to the sound of the bells do not wonder who are calling them?

For Reflection...


There is a sea that suffocates faster than the whole seven seas.
It is called : " City "
