I am turning 60

Today, May 26, 2021, I turn 60. The beginning of each decade invites me to reflect on what my life has been like and where I set my goals. Looking back, I realize that everything I went through was necessary to achieve my inner state. What happened to me was perfect in timing and form, no matter how difficult and unfair the situations seemed to me at the time.

Like a movie screenwriter, before coming into this world, I designed and planned the major milestones of my life. And in order to experience them, I agreed with the souls of the people I would interact with on their roles in the play. You will be my grandmother, you my father, you my mother, you my partner, you my daughters, you my friends and colleagues... But this information was hidden behind a veil at birth. Just as I don't remember who I was or what I did in previous lives. I think it's for my own good not to be prepared, because if I read the diary of my past lives, I would realize the atrocities I committed and the guilt would crush me like a heavy slab. I also chose the moment and circumstances in which I will leave this world.

I honor and am grateful to the people who have been and continue to be part of my personal and professional life, because thanks to them I have been able to get to know myself better. Everything I perceive on the screen of the outside world, and especially in relationships, is a true reflection of my inner world. If I see hatred, it is my own fault projected from my ego. If I see love, it is the love that dwells within me. Now I know that you have been the mirror in which I have seen myself reflected.

Looking back with perspective, I realize that I did the best I could in each circumstance according to my level of consciousness at the time. Since what I have experienced and felt is in the eternal present, sometimes my ego reminds me of how badly I acted in that situation or what I failed to do in another. With a kind smile, I say to myself: “I forgive myself for projecting my shadow onto others. This movie of the world is not my true home. Father, I know you are always by my side.”

I set my sights on my life's goal, the beacon that guides me: to use the time I have left to peel away the layers I have placed over the Love that I am in essence.

At 60 years old, I feel like just another drop in the ocean of consciousness and Oneness that we are. 

Don't try to fix the world

On social media, someone asked: “With the resources we have, can we take in all migrants and give them prospects for the future like any other human being?” My answer was NO. It's impossible. We have a serious lack of information: we lack an overview. It is obvious that this migrant seems to be in a terrible situation... But what if this person really needs to go through this situation to learn something in their life? I know what I am saying sounds strange, especially when you hear it for the first time.

Here's an exercise for you: think of a situation in your life that was “apparently” horrible and see how, after some time, you realized that what you went through was necessary for your learning.

Every situation you experience has a “purpose,” an implicit lesson that is very difficult to see at the time, and perhaps with the passage of time you will discover the real reason for that situation.

Do what you can for others and help them from the heart, but keep in mind that it will be impossible to fix this world of fear, suffering, and death in which, sooner or later, you will lose everything because it is temporary.

Don't try to fix the world. Change the way you see it as the ideal setting to advance on your inner path.
