Dear Ernesto,
as you can see I could not resist the temptation to reply as soon as possible to your very welcome letter, in which, taking a cue from a sentence of Teacher, you ask me for my humble opinion on the concept of altruism.
Of course, honestly, hearing such a question from you, from a so-called spiritual seeker, I must admit that it has left me quite amazed, however I will try to do my best and express my opinion on it as clearly as possible. .
Love and friendship exist independently of the relationship
[...] Friendship, ah, friendship is great! Friendship can move mountains, friendship can make any relationship beautiful, friendship is something that can make your days brighter, better, more worth living!
Friendship is that thing that does feel all brothers, it is that feeling that when it touches people, unites them, makes them similar, makes them feel close, united in good and evil, in grace and in misfortune, in luck and misfortune.
Individual freedom expands with the evolution of feeling (IF27)
Philosophical teaching 27
Among the various problems that have affected man there is certainly the problem of free will, or, more generally, if you like, the problem of "freedom".
It is clear, and to understand this it is enough to look around or observe one's own existence, that the individual, the embodied being, forced to inhabit a physical vehicle, does not enjoy absolute freedom, but his field of action, his possibility that is, making decisions "in freedom" is very restricted and limited. It can therefore be easily stated that the embodied individual enjoys one relative freedom, so much so that we could even speak of evolution of freedom.
Everyone builds up their suffering and tries to get rid of it
We have been asked several times why of life, what is the meaning of being immersed in the world of matter, being part of the physical plane, and even more often what is the meaning of being born, dying, being reborn and dying again, and so on. and away and away.
Of course, as my usual, I do not intend to give an acceptable answer to these questions tonight (questions which, on the other hand, press a little to all those who approach this type of teaching), but instead I would like to take a cue from this made to make some observations: if io I had to answer this question on the basis of the observation made on life, on the skin, on the everyday life of the embodied being, I would say that the whys of life
Fable of communicating one's interiority
In a distant country lived a monarch, King Tlav.
King Tlav, despite having all the things he desired, having honors, riches, lands and subjects (all that, in short, he needed for a life without problems) suffered from a problem and it just did not leave him in peace.
The fact is that, despite all his wealth, despite all his possessions, he felt alone, he didn't feel understood, he didn't feel helped by any of the people around him.
One night he dreamed of a beautiful, very luminous character - perhaps a master, perhaps an angel - who said to him: «King Tlav, I know your problem and, so that you know it, I tell you: your problem is caused by the fact that others They know nothing about you."
The nature of the mind and its government
The mind, my children: quel great gift of divine mercy, the mind that ghettoizes, separates, divides, distances individuals from each other.
The mind that creates works that almost touch the divine greatness.
The mind that leads to canceling, to killing others.
The mind: this double-edged sword, so important and so mean. But what can you do so that his work, his work, is no longer negative, but can lead you, gradually, slowly, to communion with all the other brothers?
Feeling, its evolution, human choices (IF26)
Philosophical teaching 26
The "feel”Is that condition of the individual that comes from his akasic body, that is, from the body in which all the experiences that the individual has undergone in the course of his various incarnations are transcribed.
This means that it has nothing to do with the mental plane, the astral plane and the physical plane.
What does this still mean? It means that it has absolutely nothing to do with what a person's ego is.
Now, at this point, it is necessary that I also give a definition of I, it seems right to me.
The true meaning of freedom
Brothers, sisters, what does it mean to be free? What is the sense, what is the reason for the freedom that each of you desires and, at times, dreams of?
To be truly free, brothers, to feel like a butterfly, my sisters, means accept to be aware of the role one has.
It seems easy to say, it seems so simple to tell it, but if you really understood how difficult it is for each of you to accept your reality, but to accept it fully, consciously and not only mentally, you would understand how profound and how important it is what is there for you. i just said:
