The Mind-Heart
The Mind-Heart of the Intellectual Animal mistakenly called ‘human’ is full of vain theories and mental suppositions that can lead us to nothing good.
The modern intellectuals want to make a new world according to the fanciful model that they have fabricated in their mind.
The political leaders make amazing promises to the suffering and hungry crowds in order to win power, and once they have satisfied their ambitions, they laugh at the poor idiotic nation.
The world is in crisis and has wars and rumors of wars, promises and mockeries, executions by shooting and political games that are fought by everyone everywhere.
It is absurd to suppose that we can get out of this social chaos with all its fights and destitutions, if individually we do not resolve ourselves factually to a radical and definitive change.
The strikes at the state and the bloody dictatorships are useless, these revolutions of blood and liquor.
If really we want an absolute radical change, we need to first change very individually.
That we are like individuals, he is the world. Really the world is the individual because the world is the sum of individuals. The problem in the World is the same as the problem of each individual.
If the individual does not change internally, neither will the world change still, when many mean to change it on the basis of extremist doctrines, bloody revolutions, abominable dictatorships, etc.
If we carefully study our intimate problems, we have to reach the logical conclusion that no leader can resolve those problems for us.
What I am, so is in fact the party, the group of people, the family, the society, the country.
The individual is the first and the last of the order of all things. We need radical transformations if we want out of this bitter and painful civilization, we need to each one of us transform , and in a truly very intimate way.
We need with added urgency to establish with firmness in our mind, the positive ethics of Spirit.
When the gross worldly moral values occupy our mind, the result is hunger, destitution, war, ignorance, diseases, etc., Etc., Etc.
Only on the basis of profound understanding can we resolve in positive and true form, all the economic and social problems that afflict and torture us .
The oppression and the exploitation, the aggressiveness and the economic cruelty of these times, it is due to the neglect of the eternal values of Spirit.
Darkness does not vanish by blows, but by bringing light. Neither does error come undone by combatting it with violence, but by teaching truth.
The political doctrines established by means of the violence, they do not ever find a way to finish with the personalism, the greed, the ambition, the selfishness and the competition.
When the human being is cornered by the law, he looks for replacement ways to get his own personal satisfaction.
The substitutes become vehicles of our own errors, hatreds, egotisms, jealousy, greed, etc., Etc., Etc. Thus dictatorships are evaded.
At the termination of the Tzar and his authentic family, he had for a substitute Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, and the whole clique of the Kremlim.
The substitution of the head of state made of individuals heads of state, and the bourgeoisie was replaced by a new disguised bourgeoisie of proletarian.
They disguised all the ancient ambitions of Russia with Marx and Lenin’s doctrine.
All vices and wrongdoings multiplied in secret, and the cruelty caused by the lack of the eternal moral values got worse.
If we loved humanity in reality, if we want to cooperate in the initiation of this new era that is commencing, it is necessary that there be within each individual, voluntary and intelligent intimate changes.
This intimate change certainly is not being produced by means of any form of violence or coercion from the sidelines, because if this was the case the result would be new social disasters and bitternesses. Intimate regeneration must be voluntary, intelligent, and with no obligation.
We must be sincere with ourselves and dissect the ‘I’ with the dreadful scalpel of self-criticism.
It is absurd not to criticize our own errors. The fundamental thing is to discover our errors and then to disintegrate them on the basis of analysis and very deep understanding.
When an error has been totally understood in integral form, and in all of the mind’s deepest levels it gets disintegrated inevitably.
This is the way we can dissolve the ego. Only with the death of the ego ‘I’ we are able to in reality make a better world.
We need to free the mind and the heart from all classes of wrongdoings, if the truth is that we really want to change intimately for the benefit of the society.
