"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."

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.
