The myth of the prodigal son

As prodigal son in this world
Which in fact is not yours at all
You have really never left your Home
You have really never been separated
You have really never been detached
From the loving presence of God
Your Almighty Father

This myth of separation from Source
Is merely a bad dream a tiny part of you
Known as the prodigal son
Is living like a nightmare about himself
Having forgotten Who He Really Is
As the beloved Son of God
Still and forever safe at Home
In the loving presence of His Father

But for taking his dream
Or his so called life too seriously
With all his worries, anxieties and fears
This one seems more and more real to him
Like a movie you become too involved in
Forgetting that nothing at all is real

Awakening from this dream begins
When he starts remembering theTruth about Himself
Without any attachment with the movie he sees
No matter what physical senses may perceive
An no matter what his mind may suggest

The way back Home is found
When the prodigal son remembers
How much magnificent life is at Home
In Heaven with his Father
Where even subjects have a better treatment
Compared to the one he is experiencing

The way back Home is found
Once you start being the spectator of your own life
Without too personal involment in the process
Focused on your True Self behind the scene
Knowing that no matter happens on the surface of things
Who You Are can never be threatened

The way back Home is found
Once you turn your back to the dream
Taking your attention from the movie
And put it on the presence in you
Where forever you remain at Home
And would like your tiny part to return
Like the prodigal son it is
In order to live again
In the fullness of your being

You asked for it!

You asked for it!

Whatever is happening in your life right now, remember, you asked for it! You are not a victim of anyone or anything; not at all. This is impossible. The truth is that, at a certain level, everything that has ever happened to you or is happening right now, had been planned long time ago by yourself , and for a certain reason.

The promise made by yourself to yourself at that time was that, no matter what, you’d succeed and at last, find your way home to your Source. Therefore, there is no need to resist to anybody or anything, nor complain about them, no matter how “bad” or threatening they seem to appear.

So, because you asked for it, the only thing you have to do is assuming 100% responsibility for everything; no exceptions. The advantage of this attitude is that it releases you from the resistance born from frustration and fear you experiment when you believe that people, events and circumstances are projected to you by an external and powerful force against which you are totally powerless, in the way that you seem to be a victim, instead of a creator of your own life.

Are you a cat or a mouse ?

People are generally divided into two categories. They are either mice or cats. But, it's possible to be both also, according to specific circumstances. For example, someone can be a cat in his family, with his wife and children, and be a super mouse at work, with his boss or colleagues.

To which category do you belong to ?

To know it, take the time to observe yourself in your daily life. How do you behave among your colleagues, or your friends, or in your family ? Are you for example always afraid of public speaking ? or do you experience difficulties to express your opinion during meetings or other circumstances ? Are you unease in official gatherings, or in front of your boss or any other personality ?

If your answer is yes, to these few questions, chances are that you are a mouse. However, there are lots of mice that force themselves to behave like cats in some circumstances, in order to prove to others and to themselves that they are different.

The problem is that, when they do so, they become aggressive or arrogant, because their attitude does not come naturally. By forcing themselves that way, they finish by hurting others around them, and their yesterday friends become today, their worse ennemies.

A mouse cannot become a cat, nor a cat become a mouse. They are different creatures with different and specific faculties. And each of them develops its own natural faculties in order to survive in life.

You will never see a mouse trying to become a cat because it is tired of being chased and devoured all the time, no. The only thing it can do is develop more and more its intelligence, its rapidity and fastness, to be able to escape mice permanent pursuits.

If you recognize yourself to be a mouse, instead of a cat, learn to do the same. Develop the faculties you already have, and express them when necessary. But first, accept yourself fully as you are and never try to be someone else. Never.

If you think you are afraid of public speaking for example, accept it and don't be ashamed of it. Then, develop something else, like your listening or written skills. Good listeners are very much appreciated, contrary to what people believe. Don't talk about writers...

You can also improve aspects of your life in which you have identified some weaknesses. But, as I said before, the first thing is to accept these weaknesses as such. You cannot improve anything that is not recognized first by yourself as being a weakness.

When this step is made, you can exercise yourself with small audience first, even with two people. Then, bit by bit, little by little and without forcing anything, improvment will follow, until you reach more important groups. The same applies to everything; exercise is the key.

To conclude, if you recognize yourself to be a mouse, accept it. Do not try to be a cat overnight. Instead, improve your own inherent faculties, to become the best mouse ever. Have you ever heard of Speedy Gonzalez, the fastest mouse of Mexico ?

I hope you understand what I mean...

Decide to not suffer anymore

Which is better, to suffer or not suffer ?

In my opinion, the second option is far better than the first. Because I notice that When I am angry, worried, afraid, or anxious about something, I feel bad inside of me and experience lot of suffering at the same time.

When I am happy about something, I feel good and delighted. Why is that ? and what that means ?

As many people have already found, all feelings are inside of us, good and bad, positive and negative. Feelings do not come from the outside, external events and circumstances are only pretexts for us to bring dormant feelings in us to life. But, they always have been, are always, and will always be there, in us.

The good news is that, we have the choice. Yes, no matter what happens to us, we have the choice to suffer or not. I am not talking about happiness here. I am talking about deciding not to suffer anymore, no matter what may happens to us.

There is one simple reason to that. When you experience something "bad", then get angry, worried, sad, or whatever. Do you, through those reactions, change anything to what is ? I don't think so. Instead, you suffer in your heart and your body, which is by the way, the source of many of your diseases.

However, when you decide to react differently, things may not change either, but at least, your health will be safe and you will not feel bad, or suffer uselessly. When you do that, chances are that you will experience less resistance about what is and feel good, which is far better that feeling bad.

The thing to remember therefore is this : all feelings are inside of you, they do not come from outside. When you know that, you chose the ones you want to experience now, instead of being driven by automatic feelings and reactions coming from you and often created by external events and circumstances .

Refuse to be a puppet. Chose, no matter what, to not suffer again, and be free !

Escape from the mind web

Today, we come back again to a subject we discussed yesterday and the day before. This subject is the web we wrap ourselves in, everyone of us, without exception. You know, human mind is like a spider web whose threads are made of all our troubles, problems and challenges in life that cause doubts, worries and fears in us all the time.

We said that when the fly gets caught in the web, the solution is not to resist and attempt hardly to escape from the web. This is useless, because the more it tries, the more trapped it gets. The same thing applies to human being when being trapped in one or many difficult situations. There is no solution in anger, worry, frustration or fear.

Because the more you engage yourself in these negative attitudes, the more opaque and dark your view becomes. What to do then ?

As already suggested, one part of the solution is to relax and become still. In fact, just like the fly, you have no choice at all. Whatever it does, it will remain trapped in the web, as you will be in your mind.

Another part of the solution is to recognize that you have not the power to escape by yourself, and to surrender to something greater than you, a power which is in you that knows everything and can do anything.

If the fly stops struggling and becomes still, chances are that in time, its body would become a little bit heavy, be droped from the threads that maintain it prisoner and get free. Unfortunatly, the fly cannot think this way.

In the case of human being, things are a little bit different. Man is not physically prisoner, but mentally, because he thinks. The thoughts he helds in his mind are the roots of all his troubles. When he struggles and resists against the threats (thoughts) of his mind related to his problems, this becomes an attack, and attack implies separation. You would not attack your Self if you knew that it is you. No.

In a word, when you resist something, that means you think it is separate from you. But it is not. Nothing is separate from you. You are everything around you, no exception, even if you don't think so. But, because you don't know it or believe it, you attack it by resisting and struggling against it.

But the truth is, nothing is separate from you. Nothing. We are all One, and resisting against something is resisting against yourself. That's why you suffer, because in your resistance you are attacking your own Self, and this attack is a denyal of the love which is due to yourself.

When you remember that we are all One, including everybody, everything and every circumstance, that Life loves you and is never against you, that everything that happens to you is for your highest good, you realize that the only relationship you must have with Life is the one of love and gratitude, instead of resistance and struggle.

When you reach this point, Life, Love, God, All That Is, supports you. All the threads that kept you captive are transformed into love and you are free. You are here to come back to Yourself to Love, which is who you really are.

Be grateful, therefore, for anything that comes your way, because it is part of You...

Savour every moment of your life

Life is a gift, the most precious of all gifts, from which everything else proceeds. Without life, you do not exist and, if you do not exist, there is nothingness.


But, most of the time, we neglect this precious gift, because we are lost in the grand scheme of life with its challenges, obstacles and all kind of troubles at the origin of our doubts, worries, fears, etc.

We are engaged in a pursuit that never stops, until we die and hand over to others behind us. But if we could stop just a moment, and be conscious of the chance we have right now, just for being alive, things would be different for many.

They would savour every moment they have, and appreciate this blessed gift we call life. People live as though they are their body, which they think is eternal. Death, physical death, is always for someone else, not for us. If they could know when their turn would come, they would change their mind about life, then be grateful and appreciate it more. Things they neglect now would have another signification and another meaning.

To live is like walking in a cloudy day, or in the dark, without an idea of what stands before you. Then, as you make your next step, you fall suddenly into a precipice. You never know what is before you in life. Never.

Therefore, before you fall, stop just where you are and appreciate whatever is in this moment, and be grateful for this opportunity you have of being there. Do you know why ? Because in this very moment, someone like you, has just left the show.

Savour every breath in, and every breath out, now and then. Forget anything else. That is, to live...
