To completely relax, we must try to make an empty space within us. It is extremely difficult to create this space within our Minds, because our thoughts never cease, and continue endlessly.
So how can we do it? First by concentrating on our breathing in the classic way,: I breathe deeply, slowly, in and out, and with this rhythm, try to create emptiness.
NOW, this emptiness will be filled with thoughts that I give you: try to follow these thoughts paying attention to your breathing, so that your own thoughts do not take over and distract you.
Today I want to instill Awareness in you, the Certainty that the only objective in this Life, is that it is lived in the best way to serve Evolution.
These are not just words or abstract ideas: it is Reality.
Everything that you do influences Humanity’s Evolution, and nothing remains of what you do, except your intentions.
You can create the most beautiful building, statue or picture: you cannot take it away with you, you will leave it on earth, and probably it will be a source of great joy, but it is only a material thing that could be eliminated or destroyed: but the intention with which you have created these things will contribute to Humanity’s Evolution.
Why is it so important that you understand this? Because this will eliminate many ideas that are ever present in our Minds: I must do this for outward show, to please others, because it is the most convenient thing to do, because I feel obliged to. This is not the right way to think, absolutely not: you must do what you “feel” is right, what your Instinct tells you to do in that moment, because that is what Life asks of you.
To learn how to listen within yourself is not difficult: it is only an exercise that needs to be practiced, because we are not accustomed to listening to ourselves.
We live with projects, prejudices, obligations, and coercion from others or those imposed on us by society, and often we forget who we are, and what we are. We do not live a positive Life of serenity and harmony if we forget, it will be an arduous Life full of obstacles and fear; if on the other hand we learn to listen to our inner self, we will rediscover aspects of ourselves that are wonderful: these are our secret corners, our potentialities, and we
must be committed to expressing them.
Nothing exists that can stop us from doing this.
Our first duty, truly the first one, is to express our potentiality.
There is no need to be afraid of saying to other people, or be criticized or unpopular, if the price we have to pay is not being ourselves.
Keep breathing deeply, slowly, let Awareness enter within you: we are part of the Universe, part of a Whole, we are not here by chance, we are not alone, we are part of a Oneness.
This Oneness has given us an identity: we are all different, each of us has been given talents and characteristics, and they must not be suffocated.
Feel a great Love towards yourselves.
When you are tired, when everything around you seems to conspire against you, when everything becomes difficult, when the others don’t understand you……I tell you that this is a marvelous moment. You are exhausted: you have reached the breaking point. At long last you remember that you exist.
It is precisely at this point that a reaction kicks in, and you rebel. Then, sweeping away all the obligations that crush you from every side, you remember that you exist.
There is no need for extraordinary gestures or vehement opinions, little signs are enough, little spaces reserved for yourselves, and favor what gives you pleasure compared to duty, and remember that if you do not do something, others will, and if they do not, then it will be done some time.
Relativity is what you must give to situations, commitments and events.
You can plan a day full of commitment, things to do, duties to perform, and then you wake up unable to move, with backache, a fuzzy head and the flu.
Where does all your planning go then? It just stays there.
These thoughts must accompany you even when you feel well but within you there is a refusal towards a day full of commitments. You have no desire to adhere to the demands of others, so pretend to have the flu, withdraw into yourselves, and do what ever you like.
This is not egoism, it is loving yourselves.
To grow old well ( old of course is a word that can be applied to various ages because there are elderly people who seem young, and young people who seem old!) to proceed well in Life- with Harmony and tranquility – it is always necessary to connect to others, to be aware that we have gifts and qualities that are prerogatives that must absolutely be emphasized and be the first of our priorities.
You are living here, now, at this moment, breathing deeply, slowly, with this certainty reinforced: I am not here to suffer, to obey others, to make my Life an uphill effort, no, I am here to live giving the best of myself.
It is my duty: to help Evolution, to improve Life, and I can do it with the gifts that Life itself has given me.
I want to be the real me, not something else, and I want to live my Life in the best way I can.
I must be able to be myself so that I can create Peace and Harmony, first within me, and then around me.
Let us always remember this:
WE ARE NOT HERE TO SUFFER, BUT TO HELP EVOLUTION.
