{11/18/2007} Our Spiritual consciousness says “up and ahead” and we know that we cannot take the leap without looking very deeply inwards. Not without pouring light upon our dark parts. Not without taking our worst intentions out from the darkness and slumber, our secret vileness, our selfishness, our indifference, the spine that closes our hearts. Handing in our thief, exposing the vanity we have inside, disclosing the envious part we have inside, confessing the rancor we let live inside of us. Ultimately deciding to stop throwing our internal garbage onto others and learning how to recycle it.
Our garbage comes from the trivial use of language, hearsay, and critical opinions that arise toward others’ mistakes. It comes from the vibrations of anger and resentment, distrust and prejudice, disrespect to laws and to our neighbor. It comes from good intentions that are never taken to practice and which pollute our soul with contradictions. It comes from the laziness of doing what is right; from the voluptuousness of another moment of pleasure, of the pseudo-satisfaction of possessing, of having; from the secret desire to trample on others and pride oneself of one’s ‘qualities.’
But not all is lost, as Moses would say before the great sea ahead. Many of our intentions have become actions. Each time we prepare for what we will say and do. We have already forsaken having the last word, discussing, affronting. We have sought consensus, diplomacy, and teamwork. We have returned what does not belong to us. We have bettered our surroundings. We have tried not to accumulate. Consciousness continues to grow despite so many contradictions. We will reach the level of change, we will turn the game around, once again, balancing out the opposite, duality, and differences.
And how can we measure this? How to state with such certainty? In the legitimate wish that exists in the Unit – humankind as a whole – of freeing itself from fear and embarking in higher flights toward the Spirit. Millions are doing this. Between him, you. {Chronicle 139}
