My father,
beyond every philosophy, beyond every word, there remains a single fact, for me important, primary, unforgettable, terrifying, exacerbating, inevitable, unbearable: io I am suffering.
A thousand and a thousand religions in the entire succession of centuries have shaken before my eyes the mirage of a Paradise where suffering has no place and my greatest desire is to be able to reach it but… but it is so difficult.
It is so difficult, my Father, not only to enter it but also to find the door to do so, and even when you have managed to identify what might be the right door, being able to open that door appears to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Help me, my father, give me the keys of Heaven, so that I can shrug off the immense weight of my continuous suffering. Baba
My son,
Weather
Paradise is not where many seek it:
it does not reside in the heights of heaven,
nor in the great prairies,
much less on a mountain so high as to defy the clouds.
It is so close at hand
for anyone who wants to reach it,
which escapes the researcher's attention
as it is not a where, nor a when,
but it is an internal condition
that already exists, hidden and unrecognized,
in the most hidden ravine
of the soul of every man.
I have given you everything to achieve it
crossing the many gates that obstruct
your tiring proceed
and for every door I have already given you the key:
fear of death
will be defeated by the joy of living,
the fear of looking inside
will be overcome by the audacity to scrutinize oneself,
the egoism of the most chained ego
will be dissolved by a single act of true selflessness,
greed to own and still possess
it will be transformed by knowing how to give
half of what you have to those who have nothing,
the sense of power will be changed
from the right use that power can be made,
the presumption can be defeated
from every little act of humility,
hatred can be erased
from a single moment of true love,
regret for what has been lost
it can be replaced by awareness
of what you had,
sadness can be undone
from a smile made with real participation,
the pain will see its defeat
as soon as you recognize and accept its necessity.
Every door has been revealed to you,
every key has been given to you.
You just have to find the courage
to open every threshold
and Heaven will be yours.
Forever.

Here and now. We already have it all. As Viola's Our Father says, “Your kingdom is already here”.
And then it is a question of continuing to remove what hides it from our eyes.
I like to think of Heaven in these terms. It is already in us, how much blindness !!!!
Heaven as an inner attitude… ..this is the field to cultivate!
“Yes, Your kingdom is already here, in everyone's interior. Thanks Guides.
Sometimes I reflect on the fact that identical situations can be experienced with completely different moods. It may seem trivial, but in fact, it is not what is external to me that makes the difference, but it is my gaze on the facts that I pose, the emotional state, how much I feel identified, etc ...
To some extent, I believe that this centers with what Moti says, it is the inner attitude that makes us live a fact with suffering or with joy. It is in the authenticity of our actions, in the disposition to always remain anchored to the source, in the awareness of the gesture that we find peace.
