SOME OF THE REQUESTS RECEIVED

Question: Many times and while on the spiritual path, we are told that it is necessary to abandon all desire  or material aspiration if we want to find God.  My former couple told me that we would be together for two years and then he would move away from everything to reach a higher state of consciousness. In this way, I started neglecting the things that I called merely terrestrial to be devoted to my readings, meditation ,prayers and work. Without realizing, the time lapsed and my soul continued empty. I forgot how to struggle to carry out my dreams and I realized that I had not advanced spiritually.  My question to the Spiritual Teacher is: Does it exist or not a conflict between my spiritual search and my aspiration for a better and fuller life for my family and myself? Do I have to deprive myself of everything to reach God? Do I have to continue denying my desires to be more spiritual.

Answer : This is an answer to such interesting question and thank you, thank you very much for the opportunity of explaining and developing what certainly seems as an insurmountable abyss between the natural man and the Divinity of God, while in the middle there is a path which seems extremely rigid, sad and with great restrictions and even guilt. In order to understand the spiritual path, is necessary to believe in God, and to be able to believe in God, is necessary to love, and to be able to love, is necessary to inter connect with the universe around us and of course, this particular, is very important. Science and man's behavior must be perfectly lined up with God's will and this will is sacred and all powerful and by principle, it loves individual freedom, in an absolute form.
Man is born and becomes conscious, that is to say, becomes more conscious, in order to become wiser, when he chooses to distinguish with clarity, between good and evil.
God is in an inevitable and wonderful way, lasting unconditional love. God is then, Supreme Good, and He does not want pain, suffering, ignorance or slavery for us.
God loves us because love decrees it that way. He wants us to be completely happy. His intention for us is that we get to know Him, but of course, by been ourselves, and accepting Him and receiving Him, and also to all our fellow beings. To love is not a sacrifice, to serve is not a restriction. God has established kingdoms and differences, substances, elements, essences, consciousness and intentions, differences and positions, as well as mountains and plains, spaces, sidereal and immortal heavens.
God is life, God loves life. There is no spirit of death, in Him, but of justice and permanence. He wants that we grow in grace and that we arrive to the authority of been free from any evil.
Good, never places limits to what's good. Truth does not contend with life and certainly, there are no conflicts between heaven and earth. Since God by been and in virtue of creation,  is life in all life.
Does He want to restrict our path perhaps? If, He is the beginning and the end of every destiny, how would God want to antagonize man, who he created, since He knows all the events, incidents, plans, paths, ways.
And God said  "Grow and multiply" (From Genesis)
 
If we find so much understanding and wisdom, then, is not possible to think that God is a God of suffering, restriction or negation.
God is tender, God is perfect and He never lies to us. For what purpose, He would create us, in order to hurt us? God is forgiveness, God is guidance.  God is God.
Now, to clarify all this confusion: God is new life, God is resurrection, God is eternity and salvation. About these last words: What is their real meaning? Means that God wants our good, that we receive the glory of his love, and that we don't fall in the mistake of selfishness, discrimination, evil and destruction. There is a difference between unconditional love, as the love that exists in a family and love which is not love, but only desire by desire. If we love the love of the senses, we'll never be satisfied, we will become addicted to passion while believing that we are in control. But the truth is that we don't have control, but we are losing it. Of course, the spiritual path is against, selfishness, adultery, abortion, lies, theft, idleness and so many things that are product of a selfishness that despises life. This is the only thing, that we have to understand with wisdom, because God understands our body limitations and for that reason, he spiritually strengthens our hearts.
This is an extraordinary subject, about which much have been said and will be said, but these are simple reflections.
Is perhaps sanctity the path to suffering, if when praying, evil goes away?
But if giving with abundance and by serving, give me the ability to recognize the value of gratitude, of my human family and universal family, then, I conclude that there are no restrictions.
.
Here now, life is, of course, order and discipline, balance and prudence.
Do we allow a child to do as he chooses?
 let's ask ourselves, do we allow him to play or come near something that can hurt him? On the contrary, we protect him, even with our lives. It is said and written: "
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?" It is clear, then, that the maximum father is the Supreme Creator, He reveals His Presence in the consciousness of our acts, and when we receive Him as True Love. He also has said, to love our fellow beings.  This is not the case with our couple, our children, neighbors, our earth, the sea, the sky, since we live in a sphere of life.  To learn how to be and how to care for and also to honor love, is just and true. God has loved man so much that He has revealed the truth about Himself, the spiritual path. Human life is not set in opposition, since man is of spiritual nature, and life itself is a spiritual path. Peace is not only an ideal, but it is the practice of living that fundamental action by loving. Strengthen this knowledge and this experience, since the whole life is sacred and divine, because if God sustains everything in existence, then the path of life, the spiritual path will always be and is the path of love.

 More Questions

Q: Could you please explain to me how to acquire knowledge or wisdom? I have been for years now, studying esoteric, mystic and spiritual books. Also assisting to as many events, conferences and workshops as I could find and I have discovered and understood many things but when I have to act, my behavior is much different of what supposedly I have learned. There is a difference between what I do, say, believe and think and this creates a conflict. My question is: What should I do?

Q: I am an older person who has struggled in life, since life has not been easy for me. I have found many persons in my path,  who have hurt me, I don't want to remember because I have not been able to forgive them. But today I found your website and when I read your beautiful section of Messages of Life, I felt ashamed and dirty. 
 I know that you can help me and I believe that there is a reason why I found your website. What can I do to start forgiving those who have hurt me so much?


Q: I have seen your works, which have impressed me a great deal. I feel as if I had been touched by an inner peace that fills my soul. I understand that your artworks are Healing Art, that they are energetic works, that help to achieve good health and well being. How should I appreciate your artworks and what should I do to receive the benefits of your art? Are there any specific instructions that you can give me? And in this way, I can share them with the persons that I have recommended to visit the site.
 

Q: We are used to say that when something happens, God is responsible. We question God about our illnesses or accidents or about everything that happens to us and sometimes we even resent Him. We seldom are grateful for the good that we receive.
I saw your site and I liked it so much that I have decided to write to you asking for an answer. I am a person who does volunteer social work at different hospitals and clinics and there is a question that I continuously listen to from the patients: Why has God punished me?  Some resent and even move away from God. I would like to have your advice about what should I say to them?
