This is how the new world will arise, this is how the era of happiness will be affirmed, this is how to make an effective contribution to its creation, where to look for its signs in society, in the family and in the individual himself.
When the parent is no longer the mother or father of his children, but all the children, all the children will be his children without any first or second in his heart.
When it is not the blood type that defines a brother or a sister, but the fraternity will embrace every other man beyond consanguinity, family, country, race, religion and ideology, that is, personal interests and advantages.
When sexuality will no longer constitute a stumbling block to be faced, or to be bypassed, or to be rejected, and not because it will disappear from the face of the Earth, but because it will have regained its natural quality, as can sleep and breathing.
When the gods Money and Power and their servants Greed, Violence and Abuse fall from the altars, and not because the world will sink into a holocaust of flames, but because man will have understood that money and power do not make him better and different from the other men, but they only manage to feed his greatest illusions.
When the Churches and Altars of every religion collapse, factors of separateness between men, and not because one religion will prevail over the others, and wherever God will have only one name, but because man, the Earth and the entire universe will be seen as a single altar and no one will need to give a name to God anymore to truly and always feel part of him.
When there will no longer be love for parents or children, or siblings, or relatives, or friends, or oneself, but only Love without conditions of any kind will exist. (Moti)
Beautiful text.
Thank you!
thank you
"When the Churches and Altars of every religion collapse, factors of separateness between men, and not because one religion will prevail over the others, and wherever God will have only one name, but because man, the Earth and the entire universe will be seen as a single altar and no one will need to give a name to God anymore to truly and always feel part of him. "
In my opinion it corresponds to the reality evoked by the risen Jesus when he explains to his disciples the need for him to go so that the Spirit can come. The grain of wheat that must die in the earth to bear fruit does not only concern an existential direction of individuals but also of their aggregations, he included churches. For those anchored to a Christian identity I have uttered a genuine heresy. Thank goodness wood is used today for more noble purposes ...
How wonderful ! But when?
Of course… let's roll up our sleeves!
I was moved, thanks.
really nice, thanks
It comes naturally to me to associate this text with that of Kempis that I report below, on which the song "If" was composed:
If the opinion of the common flock
it will not be your rule of conduct,
if you will be tolerant with others how much
you are with yourself.
if you know how to command yourself more than others,
if you are just more than good,
indulgent and understanding especially with the weak,
if you work patiently,
if you ever answer with a refusal
to a request and an offer,
if you can have riches and honors,
but don't be a slave to it,
if you can enjoy solitude,
but you will not be afraid of the company of men
and viceversa,
if you will be poor and thrifty,
if you can tolerate oblivion willingly
and the ingratitude of men,
if you can walk alone without crutches,
exciting and illusions.
If you can be childish with children,
joyful with young people,
calm with the elderly,
patient with madmen,
happy with the wise,
if you can smile with those who smile,
cry with those who suffer,
and you will know how to love without being loved back,
then my son, who can challenge your right
to demand a better society?
Nobody, because you yourself, with your hands,
you will have created it!
Deflated
Thanks for everyone's contributions! Kempis' words are also wonderful!
Touching words, but today I can't grasp their full significance. Or rather I can't abandon myself to that sense of trust to which they refer.
I know that the design is not utopian, but the road to realization is still very, very, very long.
The current serious international issues feed a sense of powerlessness. Even if I know the reason for certain events, and also knowing that I can "work" starting from myself, today I am restless. It is probably the identity that knows it cannot see that horizon to which words refer, the reason why I cannot enjoy it.
