We are the creators
of our own life

We are energy and when we come to the Earth, we put on our biological suit; we recover our cellular memories from other lives that we have lived here on Earth, everything that is unresolved we bring with us again in order to solve it; this is what is known as karma.

Everyone, without exception, must purify and balance their energies so that life on Earth can be better, and for all of us to live in peace and have our place on the planet.

We are energy transformed into human, animal, or natural manifestations, but when we leave the planet, when we physically die, we return to our original point. Everything is transitory in life, we have only borrowed a physical suit for a short period of time, which is why it is so important to do what we need to do and do it well, and enjoy life without possessing.

Humanity forms a unit; like in the desert, every human being is a grain of sand and all of us together make up the dessert, without color, race, or creeds.

In order to CREATE, we have to harmonize our bodies, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

The mental body is the most complex body; it is what directs our life: WE ARE WHAT WE FEEL. The mental body is very powerful and gives us endless obstacles, it will make us doubt time and time again, but if we are consistent and aware of ourselves and what is around us, we will realize that everything that we create becomes reality; small miracles and coincidences happen and the intuitions that come to us are true.

While transforming emotions and our tiny mind, we realize that we are slaves to our attachments which make us “need” things that are useless. In reality, we don’t need anything superfluous to live well and be happy; there is too much baggage that we carry on our backs and its weight brings us down because it doesn’t match our new way of life. At the moment when we break the ties, we start to create a more real and lighter life.

In order to create, we need to be responsible for ourselves. Our behavior has repercussions both for others and ourselves, we are the authors of our own behavior, words, thoughts, and actions. We must learn to be observers of ourselves and our surroundings; our behavior must be correct, not what is expected of us or what we want or wish it was.

One’s will, effort, responsibility, courage, and strength begin to form part of our new personality, and every decision that we make correctly will be strengthened by these qualities. We will stop being afraid of facing ourselves and others, and with joy and serenity we will surpass all the obstacles that we find along the way.

Fear and doubts will disappear bit by bit; we become aware of our potential. HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE AFRAID OF WHAT WE OURSELVES HAVE CREATED?

When we discover the essence, the reason of emotion, we don’t need to avoid a battle wasting energy to make said emotion disappear; on the contrary, we must develop the opposite virtue. For example, if your emotion is hate, fury, you must develop love, tenderness, which will weaken it and finally, eradicate it. Only love for ourselves and others will make any aggressive manifestation disappear, since love makes us compassionate and empathetic, and it will allow us to see and feel the pain that we cause to others and to ourselves.

Fighting against a defect or emotion by focusing on it non-stop only increases its power, since it keeps our focus on it, making it grow without stopping. It is very difficult to transform an emotion in this state; at a time of great vulnerability, it will attack us and vanquish us, and it is at that moment when we can take advantage of this weakness to transform it into strength without giving any importance to that emotion or defect, we can weaken it and develop its opposite.

The nature of our physical illnesses will help us to pay attention to mental disharmony which is the fundamental cause of the illness. There is a very important factor and it is the capacity to LOVE OURSELVES, LOVE OTHERS, AND LOVE LIFE. Simply the act of loving, without possessing, paying homage to the miracle of the human being, being “a warrior of peace in our life”, fighting with love to have a life that is fuller and more serene, with strength and courage, with respect and wisdom, we can “LIVE”, stop just surviving, and help others.

One of the biggest tragedies of our current history is materialism, which also fosters boredom, comparisons, fear, doubts, aggression, and all of its consequences, making us lose our true inner well-being. The act of having “possessions” in and of itself is not good or bad, so long as we are not attached to them and they do not rule us or enslave us. Many times the act of “possessing for the sake of possessing” gives us short-lived satisfaction, coming as quickly as it goes, then leaving a void that gets bigger and bigger.

We must stop, reflect and be conscious of what is happening in ourselves and in our surroundings, if we do not we are playing an endless game. We compare in order to satisfy our bruised egos, we run away from ourselves and others, we consume in order to forget, we pretend to be what we are not in order to feel someone else’s recognition, but the holes that these behaviors leave in us become deeper and deeper, because we become bored with ourselves, with our lives.

The antidote for boredom is to take an avid interest and an active part in everything around us, to observe our day-to-day life, to constantly learn about our peers, our mistakes, and ourselves, everyday events, lessons that we have learned, and look for wisdom and share it with others, benefiting from all this knowledge and experience.

The nourishment that we need to feel good inside is LOVE; its ingredients are: joy, serenity, strength, and courage, with all the good and balance it gives us, providing us with wisdom, knowledge, and peace.

Every day, if we do a little bit of meditation for five minutes, preferably in the morning after we wake up, it will help us to grow in joy, balance, and wisdom. Monotony and boredom in our life will be transformed into an adventure of searching and discovering ourselves, discovering things that we couldn’t have even imagined before. We will give prominence to the things that really have it, the small things in life (because they are closer to the TRUTH: the beauty of a flower, the fragility, strength, and beauty of a butterfly, a symbol of life; the sweetness of a kiss, the miracle of a smile, the universe in a glance full of love…), and we will find our place.

Resignation, frustration, and submission reduce us to wanderers without a conscience, simple sleepers through the path of life, passing by situations without seeing the lessons that we must learn for our inner evolution and to change our life. We live asleep, unconscious, we feel like we are victims (“life is like that, what can you do about it?”), letting all the marvelous things in life get away, whether because we run, or because we live for others, or because we live submerged in our own little stories that don’t allow us to see beyond the end of our own nose.

In life, everything is transitory, life is an illusion and the only reality is LOVE; the rest is a dream, sometimes a good dream, sometimes a mediocre dream, and sometimes a terrible nightmare. Every day it is necessary to laugh and, with strength and determination, move forward, learning, living, and fully dancing this dance that is LIFE. Open up your heart to LOVE and let it guide you.

Feel the perfume of wildflowers; observe the fragility, strength, and beauty of a butterfly; feel the strength and majesty of a tree; observe the miracle of the universe through the stars; don’t continue walking just to walk, that gets you nowhere. We must be “conscious” of our path and ourselves; without looking or seeing where we are going, we won’t know where we are heading.

We are the creators of our own life; creating peace and harmony, we will find happiness and balance, and, what’s most important of all, we will develop our Being. We will feel UNITY and that sensation of sublime magic, which is the miracle of LIFE turned into reality.

This reality must be placed on us as a single goal in our lives: “to develop our Being and know who we are”; that way we will discover a passionate life full of adventures, in serenity and joy. Since the beginning of time, we have asked ourselves where we are coming from, who we are, and where we are going.

We are part of the Creative Energy; we come from and return to our starting point, the Creative Energy. Human beings are an integral part of it, when we dress up as biological beings we forget about reality to fall into a linear world of time and space, confused and lost.

We look for what we are missing in others; we pass from one relationship to the next, which fills us with more and more pain and suffering. It is important to balance ourselves, our virtues, and our defects, what do we want?, what do we not want?, and work on it, developing the opposite attribute: love/hate, humility/pride, tenderness/aggression; when we are balanced, we will find the ideal person to continue moving forward together, hand in hand, if that is our wish.

In order to begin to feel peace and serenity inside, we can imagine that we are in a calm lake, under a deep blue sky, surrounded by wildflowers, a gentle breeze…; when we feel discouragement, grief, sadness… we can take refuge in our lake or any preferred place. If we visit our lake every day for five minutes before we sleep or when we wake up, our physical, emotional, and mental body will be calm, and little by little, peace and serenity will become a part of ourselves, of our lives. We will also be more efficient if everything we seek; we will have more clarity when we make decisions. With patience and perseverance, everything is possible.

Human beings have unlimited power, so long as they are harmonized and balanced. We possess the ability to create our own lives.

Create your life and don’t change it due to fear!
