Crucial moment

"We know from experience
 that if you keep on praying in this manner,
 that if you practise the 'Prayer of Jesus' with attention,
 the whole host of virtues will come to you:
 love, joy, and peace."
- Nicephoros the Solitary -


The Earth is going through a transition in which more powerful and pure cosmic energies start to permeate it and to cast aside negative forces that have been established here for thousands of years.
 
Consciously or subconsciously we all know what this transition is about and we immediately foresee something that will transform the entire surface of the planet. Some feel tension, fear or depression by watching old values decay. Above all in metropolis, the decadence of the foundations of this civilization assume great proportions, ruining the mood, the harmony and the balance, impeding that peace may take place among all living beings in within each of us. 

It is however possible to face this planetary transition in an intelligent manner, not as a victim, but as a collaborator of the superior, radiant and luminous energies that start being introduced. For that, we should bear in mind that thoughts and emotions are generally immersed in this contaminated collective field of tension and conflict and are therefore, not to be trusted. 

The first step is to become aware that there is deep inside our own being a recess which is above the regular thoughts and emotions, a recess of stable harmony, which is not disturbed by any external situation. All what we must do is to aspire to contact and to identify with this recess. 

The second step is not to allow inertia to take over our being. The tension and depression that weaken the body from energies, the so-called etheric body, which, when not vitalized, it may lead one to apathy. It is crucial to make right use of will and to engage in evolutionary activities. Those who are going through assails of disorganized psychic forces or who may have been disturbed by shock or losses should not isolate themselves, nor should they confirm this state. Instead, they should seek activities that can benefit others. 

Hygiene, order and harmony in oneself and in the environment are more important that one might think, as they avoid the access to a state of chaos. To keep these things is a sort of preventive, prophylactic measure, that should not be taken lightly, since the conflictive forces from the psychic levels are sustained from these disharmonies. Besides, when faced with emotional or mental instabilities, the relationship with food gets destabilized: one can start to overeat, in an attempt to compensate for the lack of energy – what will not be a solution, since its cause is not physical – or one can lose appetite, due to apathy and lack of interest for life. In any circumstance, simple meals, without excessive condiments, contribute to the regularization of the organic rhythms. 

It is also crucial to always keep a certain independence towards ideas and opinions from the surroundings, which generally only generate confusion. One example here is the anxiety that ensues by the belief that the body's health will be harmed when one does not sleep well. If one is bot able to sleep, instead of being taken by this anxiety or anguish, he could use creatively his time, doing some useful task and this way, trying to get the mental activity disciplined. When this mental activity is disordered, it is the main cause of insomnia. 

A powerful help in the reestablishment of balance is to listen to inspired musical pieces. Works of elevated quality are able to reorganize one's energies and they can be healing, as well as good texts. 
These are preliminary suggestions for living in inner peace and with wisdom at this period. When someone adopts them with determination, he/she can channel and irradiate the energies of the coming times in a world which is currently disoriented. 

At last, faith, self-discipline and absence of mental speculations lead to the contact with inner life, encounter this that cannot be postponed in the present times.
