The new
millennium has begun. From as far back as 1999 on there was
evidence of expectations, hope, and despair too in the human
weather odometer. There was also a certain indefinite fear
perhaps even a badly disguised one. What could the New Year
bring us?
At each year-end there are just a few days
that hold a renewed longing for better ones. It seems so
feasible, so real, so within reach of all of us, that it helps
us mold again with forced optimism; so much in fact that we are
anesthetized with the contagious happiness of the New Year,
happy with the expectation of hugging and making vows, whether
they be sincere or not.
But... what comes next? Now, that the feet
are once again firmly on the ground where the champagne corks
once were, and the world has once again become indifferent to
the nagging demands of its children showing its cruel face once
more. The world now is also missing the hypnotic disguise of
fireworks leaving us vulnerable to the distressing resurging
question: What will the New Year bring us? Stunned by an
entanglement of cabalistic-catastrophic prophecies and
economic-environmental predictions, the common man makes an
effort to raise the veil of the future a little, at least his
and asks: “So, what will this New Year bring me?”
In dealing with humanity as a whole is not really difficult to
make a forecast. The compulsory harvest and consumption of the
bitter fruit of its evil sowing of the last millennia will
continue. Just with a difference that is quite notorious in fact,
that the amount and the intensity of these returns will be
increasingly greater as time passes, as has already been
witnessed in the last decades. Whoever has eyes to see, can see.
Fratricidal wars, heinous crimes, terrible
diseases, psychic unbalances, global crises both political and
social, widespread economic-financial ruin, multiple natural
catastrophes, incisive climatic alterations, fear and insecurity
disseminated throughout all quadrants... Humanity’s faithful
companions of horror from the past century will continue being
the same as the ones that have started the new one, they will
continue being the most hardened companions in the closing of
the cycle of their existence. And still others will join the
fore-mentioned in the final stage of the burial. This we see in
the appearance of holes in the ozone layer and the solar
alterations. Everything is taking shape as it always wanted to,
as it had planned for itself with so much zeal, through its
incredible, incomprehensible collective disobedience to the
uncontrollable Laws of Nature.
However, in relation to an individual, whose
spirit is still alive, the future belongs to him and him alone.
Only he is the lord of his destiny. It is he who molds his own
future, according to how he lives his life in the present. Thus,
this way he can either prepare a place full of joy and
happiness, immersed in light, or a place of maximum suffering
and pain, immerged in darkness of the most terrifying despair
for himself. The decision always belongs to him and him alone.
That’s why instead of worrying uselessly
about one’s future, the spiritually alive person should collect
courage and act. Act now, in the present! One will have to
regiment all one’s forces only for the doing of good, without
rest, if one really in fact wants to build a more beautiful
future for oneself. And one has to put one’s own hands to work,
with tireless insistence! It is entirely up to the person to
transform, in a radical way, his inner-will that naturally ends
up manifesting itself also in his thoughts, words and actions.
And it is the purified thought, the true word and the correct
action that constitutes the very constructing material that
molds, entirely automatically, a radiant future for him. I
repeat: entirely automatically. Without intellectual garbage,
dogmatic handcuffs and mystic-occult juggling.
Acting this way a person will shape a
beautiful future for himself. For, according to the natural Law
of cause and effect or the Law of reciprocity it would not be
possible any other way. As one can see there is nothing that
goodwill and perseverance cannot do. Stones will appear here and
there, as if out of nowhere, while carrying one’s task, these
stone may trip up or hurt the person, but they in fact will only
be useful to him. They were also formed, polished and placed on
the rug of his destiny by him, according to his wrong actions in
the past. They should not cause him any fear or depression, to
the contrary, they should serve him as a guideline to know the
mistakes that still hangover and affect his climb continually
upward, harvesting always new spiritual learning. Through this
he will notice that little by little the stones have become
gradually smaller and more rare as he rises, until one day they
will have disappeared completely. This way, his climb up is made
easier every day according to his effort in wanting to progress
correctly. And on reaching a certain height, he can easily see
the beautiful future that awaits him, a future that he formed
for himself, that he conquered for himself.
Without making an effort on one’s own nobody
ascends, nobody progresses. Not even a millimeter. It is a
pointless illusion to imagine that blind faith is a spiritual
elevator, to disoblige its passengers of making a continuous
effort in improving as human beings. Those that call-on to “pray
to the heavens” as a daily litany to complain about life and
whine a lot, are nothing other that lazy beggars. Worthless
people like these, with their unprecedented indolence, can be
called “ the disinherited of destiny” and unfortunately they
shape a future for themselves that is dreadful. They are
spiritually suicidal, who voluntarily weaken their spirits with
this forced inactivity and they get to such a stage that in the
end they are unable to move by themselves, and end up completely
paralyzed from spiritual “starvation”, without having any forces
left to find the Bread of Life and feed of it.
Only a person through his own effort always
maintains the flame of his spirit alight, burning in the name of
good and directed towards the Truth, this way he will be able to
resist the forthcoming purifying windstorms. But the others, the
ones that are chronically indolent spiritually, who have decided
only to accomplish one task, that is, maintain their spirits
eternally submerged in a deep sleep, will see, bewildered, their
weak and flickering flames will go out already with the first
gusts of wind.
The human spirit has been given freewill for
his development. And it is by the means of this gift that he can
choose his own path, however at the same time he is
unconditionally subject to the consequences of his choice. That
is why it is he who shapes his own fate, and even his final
destiny as a human spirit. So it is not just a simple New Year’s
resolution any more, but a decision that embraces an entire
existence, his entire existence, and not just of this current
terrestrial life. Eternal life or eternal death, are in hands of
the human being, because his future and his destiny, only belong
to him. Then, this New Year for him could be the first of a
completely new life, integrated with the Laws of Creation. And
it will be... if he wants it to be. |
