Brothers Sisters, io I see you in the course of your days struggling to think about how best to lead your life.
If you realized, brothers, if only you wanted to become aware of it, sisters, you would understand very easily how useless it is to think about what will be or what could be in your immediate future.
If you let it flow, if you let things take their natural course, you would soon realize how simple, beautiful and peaceful it is to live.
Life, brothers, your days, sisters, must not be planned following patterns that you yourselves have set for yourself. No, it is not so: life has a course of its own, natural and spontaneous, that none of you can only minimally imagine.
But why don't you accept its presence as it is now, why do you want to interfere at all costs, why rationalize it, why do you continue to expect it to adapt to your dreams?
Life is difficult and hard in certain moments and very often I feel your rejection, and very often I live your fear, but if you only knew how important your fears and your rejections are for that path that will unite us all!
If you only knew this, if you could only imagine it, I would no longer see angry, unhappy, frightened faces, but I would see smiling and confident faces, even if saddened.
Always remember that what happens to you - even what constitutes a source of pain, bitterness and unhappiness for you - is not given to you only to make you suffer, but to make you understand, grow, understand, mature precisely through that suffering, and you should be happy for this, showing that you have understood that everything has a purpose, that everything is useful for greater understanding, that nothing and no one exists or has existed to harm you, but that everything is moved, governed and animated, brothers and sisters, by a great love.
Accept, while reacting to the pains that life presents to you at every moment, life, great Teacher, daughter of that indispensable gift which is Love.
Always love each other as I love you. Viola
Peace be with you, with you who live your lives in pain, torment, regret, uncertainty and fear;
with you who, in certain moments, are afraid of life and do not realize how great is the good you possess;
with you who make your days a gymnasium of sadness and pain, making uncertainties and fears the tools for your training in life and do not pause for a moment to think about what great mystery lies behind the phenomenon of life, that gift that you, several times, have exploited in the course of yours evolution, and that together with you many other brothers exploit and will exploit until they leave the chain of rebirths;
with you, children, who live unaware of what I tell you: observe yourselves, observe your days, even when your days seem to be the most terrible and saddest of your lives, and you see in each of these days something that it can make you say that it was a day that deserved to be lived, because it was not a lost day.
Certainly: decisions are sometimes difficult to make.
Certainly: many times one feels unprepared, not ready, undecided, fearful and more inclined to look at "what will become of me" rather than "what will become of us"; yet, if there is a Teacher, this Teacher is existence and for how much suffering it seems that existence - with malice and cruelty - brings you every day, in reality, all that it brings is the fruit of love and is only for the your inner growth.
Living, children, is so difficult, but it is also so simple! Weather
One of the most used symbols in the history of man by the great Masters is the symbol of water which, for example, Lao Tsu used very often. This evening I would like to quote you precisely a sentence of the Teacher Lao Tsu.
This sentence said:
«The water that flows in the bowels of the Earth reaches the sea like that which flows on the surface».
This means, among the many possible interpretations, that in whatever way you act, in reality - in the end - you will always arrive at the end of the road.
So you do not worry much about what you do, but you simply do, being sure that your action, good or bad, through serenity or suffering, through joy or sadness, always leads you forward and never will. to regress from a stage of feel now reached.
Live, therefore, your lives trying to savor every moment, to live it intensely, and being attentive to the experiences you live and how you introject them within you; in this way, any experience, positive or negative, any action done either out of love or out of love, brings something useful in the baggage of your experiences and takes you one step forward, small or large depending on the circumstances, along the way. evolution, along the way that Lao Tsu symbolized with water.

More and more, the attitude of flowing takes place, after having ascertained how much effort it entails to go against the current.
the difficulty of flowing .... not for lack of awareness .. but for the resistance that the situations and tasks of life create in becoming .... we are always in the realm of understandings ...
Disruptive. Thank you.
When I read the posts of the Ifior Circle, I imagine I look at us humans from the point of view of the Guides and I think: how we must appear clumsy and groping in the dark, always fighting against something that is wrong or we do not like, unable to enjoy existence , because you are constantly absorbed in trying to make things go as our identities would like. In moments of greater clarity, we ourselves can see that wanting other than what is, it is simply absurd, that there is nothing but the present, the fact that it happens. Yet, however trained to disconnect, especially when life surprises us, how easily we forget and sink into the game of identity!
It takes humility, honesty and constant vigilance to unmask the pitfalls operated by the dual mind.
Thank you!
True, too often we stop at the surface, painful or joyful as it is. Maybe more when it's painful. Too often. But not always…
