Paradise is not a place, it is a state of consciousness

What good is it for me to reach the top of the mountain to find peace if inside I can't stop thinking about the fears and attacks that cause me suffering?

Conversely, I can be in one of the most inhospitable and horrible places, but if I choose to be at peace in my mind, I will perceive peace and harmony outside, regardless of what is happening in the movie of the world.

Paradise is not a place, it is a state of consciousness.

The prison of thoughts

Those who hate are prisoners of themselves, living in the prison of their thoughts.

When death comes

For me, death is a process we have to go through, in which the body, the temporary vehicle that has served us to experience life on earth, comes to an end. 

Our essence, our spiritual part, does not die and will never die. It is paradoxical that there are people who, after their body dies, think they are still on earth because, as they believe that everything ends with the death of the body, they assume that they are still in the world as ordinary citizens, living on in spirit.

When that great moment arrives in which our vital signs stop, we will observe with astonishment that our life continues, although we will no longer be able to speak to practically anyone on earth, since most people will neither see nor hear us.

Once freed from the physical body, we will no longer feel any pain; however, our suffering, being mental, will continue in this new stage of transition into which we will enter. That is why it is important, when the moment of our death arrives, to let go of our attachments, forgive ourselves for the mistakes we have made, be grateful for the opportunity we have had to spread Love, and open our minds to the new experience. We will see this for ourselves when the time comes.

Trust and remain at peace

When faced with a new and unexpected situation, fear driven by the ego takes hold. Your misguided mind projects countless threatening scenarios into the future, and you seek solutions for each one as if it were a chess game several moves ahead.

You enter a loop of obsessive thoughts instead of opening yourself up to the eternal present, where every situation can provide you with the learning you need.

There is nothing but this moment, this here and now, in which you can choose to tune in to your essence to see that this situation is an important experience that will propel you on your inner journey.

Trust and remain at peace.
