In times of peace, we forget the present

And remember the past

Wars

That’s what we remember in times of peace

So, we humans live short lives.

Still, is it a consequence of the reality we live in?

The stress, the anxiety, daily struggle, the air we breathe?

No. We humans, live short lives because we dream.

Have you noticed how people become more visible when they are dead than when they were alive? At a funeral or memorial service, for example. People gather and start sharing pieces of the deceased’s life, completing a puzzle you never imagined existed.

The body is the foundation of life, so value it while you are alive.

Why?

Because everything depends on the body.

Our body.

That’s all

It’s not like we have an independent

The absurd in our lives is that we, as a species, seem conditioned to do the contrary of what we must do, and then we blame the universe.

Who conditioned us to act so irrationally, with no morals, and to accept debatable truths that act more like drugs than an awakening?

The mindless urgency to do something with our lives has conditioned us and keeps us from enjoying every step we take.

When we become obsessed with the result, we devalue the process: the end justifies the means.

Few things excite us more than thinking or dreaming of the impossible.

Yes. In our thoughts and dreams, we can do anything beyond what we deem possible.

Indeed, dreams erase boundaries, and in dreams the impossible frees desire from consequence.

Would you help me

Into becoming a good person?

You help me, I help you.

You and I help each other to build a family

And lo and behold, you are no longer “you”

I am no longer “I”

We are now “we”

In those times in the beginning of days, Satan was envious of the Earth’s beauty. And so, he wanted to destroy the Earth but could not. A higher power protected it. Frustrated, full of fury, envy, and hate, the Devil stormed the Lord’s Chambers and demanded the immediate destruction of the Earth.

Sometimes we treat dreams we never act on as doomed projects because it is easier to judge the dream than to confront why we never acted.

After we finished our lovemaking,

The bed looked like a turbulent sea

Where our love had already sunk

Into the depths of each of our beings.

Alone, watching the sunset

I thought of you.

Your lips

Whispering in my ear

Vows of love

As they used to.

Don’t be afraid of being alone.

Don’t be sad, either.

You are who you are when you are alone.

At other times, you are performing.

So, from time to time, strive to be alone.

You wake up and open your eyes to a new day.

What follows is either a test, a gift, or a miracle.

While in freedom, we may think we’re free to denounce crime.

But we don’t do it because we want to keep living in peace, so we opt for discretion.

Therefore, if we want peace, we must silence the truths, and I say that this silence applies to any truth that exposes the distance between a society’s values and the injustices it permits or conceals.

What word, by its power alone

Can strike your core, your self, and move you

To tears, to reaction, to joy?

I say, none.

Not even a word with divine power

Can do that

Silence your thoughts

Open the gates of love

And let it flow

For love is born from the silence
But not from the silence of the voice
Not from the silence of the words
Love is born from the silence
Of thoughts

When God made the first humans, He provided each of them with a body, a spirit, and a conscience. Henceforth, Adam and Eve’s drama in Paradise, and what followed.

But then, already away from Paradise, humankind grew and populated the Earth.

Still, as the Scriptures go, God didn’t abandon them, for by then there was still enough will to provide each human with a body that contained blood, bones, skin, and organs, plus, as a bonus, a spirit and a conscience.

Sometimes emotional pain can open doors you didn’t even know existed. Indeed, it can become an unsolicited invitation for you to listen to yourself, to your soul. By listening to yourself, you may change your perspective on your emotions, which are the root of your suffering; love being the first emotion affected.

If you want to live a healthy spiritual and mental life, you have choices that can transform you for the better.

1.- Rise to the highest planes you can imagine.

2.- Go into the deepest corners of yourself.

3.- Explore the surface prudently: discipline yourself, think critically, and beware of false prophets and temptations.

To serve the people or be served by the people?

To become God in His Power, or to be God in His goodness?

Which leader on Earth uses his power to do good to all his citizens with no distinctions?

The paradox is that throughout their history, human beings, mostly males, have yearned for divine power, even though they are clearly limited creatures shaped by appetite, fear, and ambition: Attila, Caligula, Genghis Khan, King Leopold II of Belgium, Stalin, Hitler, to name a few.
