Harmony - Divine Proposal

And what is harmony? Several dictionaries will conceptualize it. Several philosophers will digress about it and many will not understand its real presence among them all. Through harmony, intelligence is consolidated when someone intends to accomplish something. The example of the cosmos is decisive. Everything there is harmony and in it the stars rotate and fulfill their roles, from the rockiest to the most gaseous, ​​in a beauty that produces good. Knowing that the harmony of the outside is only the harmony of the inside, the researcher needs to look deeper and better to see where it lies in all these fundamentals.

In these times everything needs to be analyzed with maximum precision. Perhaps, by not acting like that, many get lost in tangles that disturb, that dethrone the being in its evolutionary path. Hermes Trismegistus used to say that what is inside is outside and what is outside is inside. Thus, if we consciously float in this plane of harmony that is the Universe, it is necessary to understand that all of it is inside each one of us. This is true, this is the safe conduit that will lead us to higher spirituality.

In a past, perhaps not so distant, those philosophers walked alone among the trees in an attempt to find answers. Philosophy is like that, an eternal search for answers. And this, they wanted. They took it from a leaf, a branch, hugged a tree, lay down on the grass and took it from a flower. And they said:

- Here's the mystery of life. How to understand it?

Yes, all those who seek to get out of the common diary in the eagerness to understand what is there beyond are remarkable! There is the common man who constantly regrets having to take care of his survival. There is the medium that intersperses that common with something different and there is the man who penetrates through the alleys he finds, knowing that in its sediments history is engraved in sounds and tones. Rene Descartes, a 17th-century philosopher, cried: “I would give everything I know for half of what I don't” We must also mention Socrates: “I only know that I know nothing”. Already Epicurus, philosopher of Samos, said in the fourth century BC: "Nothing is enough for those who consider little enough".

Let's try to observe this man who enters the alleys of the unknown, high up on a mountain, and observes birds and mammals, especially the lynx, which got its name from the luminescence of its eyes. The eyes reflect the interior and the spiritual principle that dwells there, certainly the lynx scans the world with much more skill than that common man we have already talked about. Its next stage could be the cat, who along with man, will learn the art of taming his instincts. And speaking of instinct...

Yes, it's time for us to assert the proposals of the prefrontal cortex, which enables us to look further in the objective of decoding harmony. It is known by all that we are perfectible beings, Jesus told us to be perfect as God our Father is. So the transit through life must be to take advantage of this information from the Master and adapt to it, in the sincere desire to grow in harmony. However, and despite everything, human consciences still lie in the depths of the beginning.

Jung and also Joana de Angeles, in addition to Stanislav Grof, alert us by informing us about the five levels of consciousness. Scientists who study Quantum Physics tell us that everything is consciousness, as Amit Goswami says. Within the Jungian proposal of the “Itself”, we can understand the statements of quantum physicists and their quantum mechanics. Yes, we are a portentous set of unexplored values ​​and therefore, we are often unhappy. Man became man through his multiple experiences and choices, which were unique and essential in his procedures along the paths he has already covered. Thus, each one has a complex set of information and forces that can dynamize him to achievements he doesn't even dream of. Too bad they don't have lynx eyes!

“To be a man is to be on the way to the saints”. The old philosopher would say, tired of so many walks and searches for his existential being. To be a man, the scientist would say: “It is to multiply in trillions of cells of which it is its master and slave”. To be a man, the theologian would say: It is to be a religious removed from his essence”. And so each one, each segment, each research structure defines being as it sees it. But, say modern scientists that "Man is pure consciousness". Being aware is being aware of what is happening, appropriating the truths you can see. Hegel said that "The axis of conscience is the search for the truth" Jesus said that "You will know the truth and it will set you free."

In this set of information, the man from the alleys needs to reflect, mainly to leave the alleys themselves in search of that being he observes from the top of the mountain. It is said that Leon Denis, on his travels as a commercial representative, once, while waiting for the silence of the stars, climbed the mountain to see the world from above, as Professor John Keating did with his students, encouraging them to climb on their school desks to expand the vision of knowing, so well portrayed in the film: “Society of Dead Poets”. So that simple man, in the eternal search for survival and guarding his territory, will hardly be able to dialogue with the proposal of harmony. Here is the human drama in a continuum that should have been lived and overcome.

A new thought becomes necessary: ​​I am not a pile of cells that die so that others can be born. I am conscience, I am a proposal of a Creator. When Pheidippides, the Greek runner who ran the forty kilometers between the Greek cities of Marathon and Athens to bring the news of the victory of the Greeks over the Persians, he never imagined that he was shaping in the world the proposal of strength and perseverance to reach a purpose. It is necessary to move from the small town of Marathon, almost forgotten in History, to the giant Athens, proclaimed and esteemed throughout the world. It is necessary to go from the small and unknown to the big and full of ideas that are always renewed.

And, why this same man: "Hero of Intelligence" as Emmanuel tells us, stands still and is nailed in a Scandinavian fjord, watching the waves cry against the hard rocks and doesn't do the exercise of navigating the ocean trying to find a safe haven, different from the dangers of the fjords? A safe haven is for arrival and departure. This is the purpose of evolution: arriving and leaving, concluding and starting over, as Joseph Campbell, masterfully, told us in his book:  The Hero's Journey. And who is this hero if not each one of us? Let's not think of a life full of disabilities on dream beaches, lying on boats lazily bouncing on small waves that take no one anywhere. They represent the laziness or rebellion of existing. Let's think about it, in an ocean liner that makes us cross visible and invisible continents, matter and before matter, dark matter and dark energy, and even so we will have discovered a single Universe among thousands of possible other Universes.

And where will be our fervent pursuits for survival and appropriation of territories in this world, given the harmony that unfolds beyond, captured by the consciousness that lives, sees and apprehends the reality of things, the truth beyond, existing after our few visions that make the lynx laugh at us? How good it is to know that we are infinite! That beyond the initial proposals of rationality, we will always walk in search of new mountains and plains, air and skies. The sky that is seen from Earth is not the same as that seen from a Sirius planet and so, in an incredible and harmonious succession that our small senses cannot glimpse. To try, it is necessary to grow. It is said that man needs to be great, yes, great in spiritual achievements.

"Don't wait for a crisis to find out what's important in your life." Said Plato in his reflections while teaching his disciples at the Academy. Dramas are nothing more than human creations to strengthen man himself. Fragile souls fall to the drama. The strong souls win the dramas and let loose like songbirds in different skies that emerge after the diluted dramas. Plato wisely tells us that it is necessary to discover what is really important to us and the important thing must be to move from the simple man to the spiritual man, that is, who seeks the sky of Sirius or perhaps Antares or...

Allan Kardec was the true good man who offered humanity something new and consistent. His work will always be expanded by new discoveries and human advances, however it will never be refuted because it is based on Divine Laws, immutable as Their Creator. This is the path to new thinking and attitudes. A necessary thought where each, in turn and guidelines, must find the certainty of going in search of the just. It is up to the man of today to understand it that way. The physical and spiritual planes, which have always worked together, now become known to those who wish to know their foundations and interactions. Denying something is only valid if the denial is based on all possible analysis proposals, otherwise, denying is not looking for the truth that may be at your door.

Let's avoid living what Friedrich Nietzsche said: “You have to have chaos inside you to generate a dancing star”. Let's make this star happen without the need for chaos that is disorder, while our Father's proposal is one of harmony. It is true that man needs to live experiences, but let us not fulfill the rite of Adam and Eve and depart for the knowledge of Paradise in the Garden of Eden without the dangerous peremptory advances of the serpent. Therefore, it is necessary to become aware of ourselves in order to know where we are at present and what we want in this present. The lights of a new time are already starting to be lit and they come from the core of the Galaxy, in the incredible process of precession of the equinoxes. How will I face this new time? Cornered, frightened, anxious, depressed or strong like a country man's gibbon that doesn't fear the sun or the moon and protects him for walking and planting and harvesting.

We take advantage of Jesus' words when He told us: “The time has come. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent therefore”. Mk 1:15. Taking advantage of these affirmations, the man of this present can walk with the certainty that the Gospel must be fulfilled by him, since the Gospel is the Universal Code of Light and not a religion established within the walls of a temple of any denomination. This is the primary fact. In question 909 of The Book of Spirits:

Q: Could man always, by his efforts, overcome his evil inclinations?

A: “Yes, and often making very insignificant efforts. What you lack is the will. Ah! how few among you make efforts!”

It's all written, defined and proposed. It is up to man to think with more care and insight and act with intelligence, because when he does, then comes harmony, perfection, the beautiful and the good, and finally the so dreamed love.
