- 0:07A manual for modern exorcism.
- 0:11Not to hate, but I refuse to feel guilty
- 0:13anymore.
- 0:15And hate received without ideals fades
- 0:17faster than the suppressed kind.
- 0:20Because it is shame that anchors you to
- 0:22a state.
- 0:25Guilt, too, is the worship of an idol.
- 0:28To the ideal of being always forgiving,
- 0:30to the image of the one who should have
- 0:32been better and more understanding.
- 0:35When you feel guilty, you are actually
- 0:38saying: I have broken a holy law.
- 0:43But that law most often comes not from
- 0:45life, but from an inherited morality
- 0:47which, in fact, means worshiping Lucifer
- 0:50.
- 0:54Life does not ask for guilt, but for
- 0:56truth.
- 0:58And truth can sometimes look like anger
- 1:00, at other times like refusal, or like
- 1:02withdrawal.
- 1:04There is no need for us to always be
- 1:06forgiving.
- 1:09Forgiveness made into an obligation ends
- 1:11up being a violence against yourself.
- 1:15And sometimes being unforgiving is the
- 1:17only form of truth.
- 1:20What matters is that idols raised to the
- 1:22rank of absolute must fall.
- 1:24And if being unforgiving achieves that,
- 1:26then it is very good.
- 1:28We are, and we are not.
- 1:31If we do not react at all, because we
- 1:33have made non-reaction an ideal.
- 1:36Life tramples us, not as a punishment,
- 1:41but as a lesson.
- 1:43I have lived this.
- 1:45Non-reaction is divine, but reaction is
- 1:48also divine.
- 1:50And the limit, that too reaches its end
- 1:52.
- 1:53When we make acceptance an ideal, we
- 1:55have already raised an idol.
- 1:59The same applies when we make a duty or
- 2:01non-reaction a rule, and the heavenly
- 2:03will tear down every idol, even by using
- 2:06its exact opposite.
- 2:10If you have placed forgiveness above
- 2:12life, then you will receive
- 2:14unforgiveness.
- 2:16If you have placed peace above truth,
- 2:18you will receive conflict.
- 2:21If you have placed an idealized love,
- 2:23you will receive hate.
- 2:25Not as a punishment, but as a balancing
- 2:27, because the divine does not favor the
- 2:29edges, but the whole.
- 2:32There are no wrong states, only wrong
- 2:35attachments.
- 2:39All religions took a part of reality,
- 2:41made it absolute, and used it for
- 2:43dominance; and non-reaction,
- 2:45unconditional love, and endless
- 2:47forgiveness, taken out of the whole,
- 2:49became tools of control.
- 2:54Truth is wider and more uncomfortable.
- 2:57The Absolute is both reaction and
- 2:59non-reaction, and love, and what we call
- 3:02hate, and peace, and conflict. Not
- 3:04because it contradicts itself, but
- 3:06because it is alive.
- 3:10When we say that He gave it all, we do
- 3:12not say this to excuse violence or abuse
- 3:14, but to uproot the thought that
- 3:16anything ever existed outside of Him.
- 3:21Many get scared then and ask: does this
- 3:23mean that everything is permitted?
- 3:26No. Because it is not a matter of
- 3:28permission.
- 3:29Permission still belongs to pride,
- 3:31implying an authority that approves or
- 3:34disapproves.
- 3:35It is about reality.
- 3:38What reveals itself, reveals itself
- 3:40because it is necessary in that moment
- 3:42of crisis.
- 3:44Not because it is beautiful or moral,
- 3:46but because it works.
- 3:49Life is not moral; morality is man-made
- 3:51and is an idealization, it is a worship
- 3:54of the devil.
- 3:57Life is wise, but it preaches nothing.
- 4:01Acceptance raised to the rank of an
- 4:03ideal becomes a coercion.
- 4:05Man forces himself to accept what he
- 4:07cannot yet accept.
- 4:11He denies his anger, his rejection, his
- 4:13need for boundaries, and these powers
- 4:16turn against him as sickness, as
- 4:18pressure, exhaustion, or a delayed
- 4:20outburst.
- 4:23And this is not because he was wrong,
- 4:25but because he tried to stand above life
- 4:27.
- 4:29Life does not ask you to be above it,
- 4:31but within it.
- 4:32Sometimes with gentleness, other times
- 4:34with harshness, sometimes with silence,
- 4:37other times with confrontation.
- 4:39Love has no fixed form.
- 4:44That is why it cannot be made into a
- 4:46rule, and any rule about love will
- 4:48sooner or later be torn down by life.
- 4:52And that is a good thing.
- 4:54When you no longer keep your reactions
- 4:56trapped in guilt, they do their work and
- 4:58pass.
- 4:59You no longer have to watch yourself
- 5:01constantly and you no longer stand with
- 5:03a moral whip over yourself.
- 5:06And just when you stop trying to be good
- 5:08, a true kindness appears, which knows
- 5:10when to say yes and when to say no.
- 5:14When you see that He is the only author
- 5:17, the burden of false responsibility
- 5:19also falls away.
- 5:21You no longer believe that you must keep
- 5:23the world in balance, because life
- 5:25balances itself through everyone and
- 5:27everything, and you are just a space
- 5:29through which movement passes.
- 5:32It is done through me.
- 5:35Life was made to sway.
- 5:38And everything within it, the good and
- 5:40what we call evil, the pain and the
- 5:42suffering, are His.
- 5:45Nothing is ours; we just forget
- 5:47sometimes that He is everywhere.
- 5:50It is like the weather for the man in
- 5:51the countryside. Today it rains,
- 5:53tomorrow the wind blows, the day after
- 5:56the sun burns. He does not argue with
- 5:58the rain, nor does he force himself to
- 6:00love it. He does not preach to the
- 6:02clouds; he takes his coat when it rains
- 6:04and his hat when it is hot. He knows
- 6:07that everything has its purpose for the
- 6:08garden.
- 6:09It is the same with what rises within us
- 6:11. Anger, peace, sadness, joy are the
- 6:14weather inside.
- 6:16We do not choose them; we just dress
- 6:18appropriately and let them pass.
- 6:21Here comes a great liberation. You no
- 6:23longer have to be the same always.
- 6:27Matching your yesterday's self is a
- 6:29requirement of the mind, not of life,
- 6:31and life is full of paradoxes.
- 6:34Today you can answer, tomorrow you can
- 6:36be silent.
- 6:37Today you can fight, tomorrow you can
- 6:40let go.
- 6:40If you try to always be the same, you
- 6:43break.
- 6:44The soul has no fixed face and reveals
- 6:46itself differently in different
- 6:48circumstances.
- 6:50Only the ego wants to always be the same
- 6:52so it can recognize itself in the same
- 6:54story.
- 6:55The soul is alive, not consistent.
- 6:58You no longer try to bring others to
- 7:00your level and you no longer believe you
- 7:02know what is good for them.
- 7:06When you see that life organizes itself
- 7:08through everyone, you no longer need to
- 7:10fix the world and you no longer carry a
- 7:12responsibility that was never yours,
- 7:14because life has managed just fine
- 7:16without you.
- 7:18This does not diminish a person, but
- 7:20takes them out of the savior role and
- 7:22places them in that of a living witness
- 7:24.
- 7:25Love is not a feeling that is always the
- 7:28same, but a place where things can be as
- 7:30they are, sometimes with closeness,
- 7:32other times with distance.
- 7:35Moving away is not the opposite of love
- 7:37, but a form of it.
- 7:40When closeness would keep a falsehood
- 7:42alive, indulgence without truth becomes
- 7:44complicity with a lie.
- 7:48There are moments when saying no is the
- 7:50only gesture of love and when responding
- 7:53is healthy, not to destroy, but to set a
- 7:55boundary.
- 7:57And the boundary is not contrary to love
- 7:59, but its skeleton.
- 8:01When you no longer pin down a state with
- 8:04judgment, it no longer asks to be
- 8:05repeated.
- 8:07The mind always wants a safe place, a
- 8:10conclusion, a rule, a final point, but
- 8:12life does not stop to give them to it.
- 8:16When you see this, you no longer make
- 8:18understanding a condition for peace and
- 8:20you no longer say I will be at peace
- 8:22when I understand.
- 8:25Because peace comes when you no longer
- 8:27ask to understand everything, not out of
- 8:29ignorance, but out of trust.
- 8:32Many sufferings did not come from what
- 8:34happened, but from the argument with
- 8:36what happened.
- 8:38How much life I lived like a bargain: if
- 8:41I do this, maybe it changes; if I
- 8:43understand, maybe it stops; if I accept
- 8:46, maybe it passes.
- 8:48All these are attempts at control.
- 8:51The soul does not bargain; it opens or
- 8:54closes, speaks or stays silent, but not
- 8:56as a calculation, rather directly,
- 8:59without hidden intent.
- 9:03The more you let go of the reins, the
- 9:05more wisely life works through you.
- 9:09And this is not because you have become
- 9:11more skilled, but because you no longer
- 9:13stand in the way of the flow.
- 9:16Things settle themselves, sometimes you
- 9:18lose, other times you win, but in an
- 9:20order you do not defend, and you no
- 9:22longer remain silent to seem enlightened
- 9:25.
- 9:27You speak when it is alive to speak and
- 9:29you are silent when it is alive to be
- 9:31silent.
- 9:33And people feel that you are no longer
- 9:35playing a role, even if they wouldn't
- 9:37know how to say why.
- 9:40Some will draw closer, feeling the wide
- 9:42space.
- 9:44Others will move away, not finding
- 9:46anyone with whom to play the old games.
- 9:49You no longer say they left me, but
- 9:51simply that our paths have parted.
- 9:54And there is no drama in this, nor any
- 9:57victory.
- 9:59The world is not broken, but alive.
- 10:03It has tensions, imbalances, and
- 10:05quarrels, but these are signs of
- 10:08movement, not failure.
- 10:11And only the mind wants a world that is
- 10:13quiet forever, because stillness gives
- 10:15it the illusion of control.
- 10:18The need to forgive yourself also
- 10:20vanishes, because forgiveness is only
- 10:22needed where you previously judged, and
- 10:24when you no longer judge, there is
- 10:26nothing to forgive.
- 10:28Prayer is no longer a request, but a
- 10:30recognition.
- 10:33You no longer say help me escape or make
- 10:35it different, but rather I see that you
- 10:37are here.
- 10:40And help me to stop resisting.
- 10:44And often, even these words are no
- 10:46longer needed.
- 10:49You no longer chase salvation and you no
- 10:51longer wait for a happy ending, but you
- 10:53live, and life lived without resistance
- 10:56is already salvation, even if it doesn't
- 10:58look like the stories about it.
- 11:03A natural humility comes, not one from a
- 11:06textbook, where you no longer feel
- 11:08important, but neither small, just a
- 11:10part—a part that doesn't need to know
- 11:13everything, master everything, and
- 11:15understand everything.
- 11:19The search stops not because you have
- 11:21found all the answers, but because the
- 11:23questions no longer hurt.
- 11:26Gates open as wide as the sky, and the
- 11:28soul rests within them without falling
- 11:30asleep.
- 11:33For a long time, I lived as if life were
- 11:35an endless attack, and we always had to
- 11:38have an answer, a position, an
- 11:40explanation.
- 11:43This state of being on guard was a
- 11:45constant fatigue, not a virtue, because
- 11:48the soul does not live on guard, only
- 11:50pride does.
- 11:53The guard does not fall through a heroic
- 11:55decision, but through a gentle
- 11:57exhaustion; you simply no longer have
- 11:59the strength to resist.
- 12:01And in place of chaos comes peace, like
- 12:04a muscle that after years of tension
- 12:06finally lets go.
- 12:09You no longer read the past as a list of
- 12:12mistakes, and you don't say if I had
- 12:14done it differently; you see that
- 12:15everything that was had to be, because
- 12:18every reaction, every straying, and
- 12:20every struggle weakened an idol, and
- 12:22nothing was wasted, not even what looked
- 12:24like a failure.
- 12:29The soul no longer has to compare itself
- 12:32to what could have been and can be
- 12:33exactly what it is—with marks, with
- 12:36cracks, with mismatches—and from this is
- 12:38born a dignity distinct from pride.
- 12:43The dignity of no longer pretending.
- 12:46The future is no longer a place of
- 12:48salvation; you no longer say when things
- 12:51will be better, nor do you postpone your
- 12:53life for an ideal moment, because life
- 12:55never moves into the future, and any
- 12:57promise about later is an absence from
- 12:59the present moment.
- 13:02You wash a dish, walk down the street,
- 13:04listen to someone talk, and you are no
- 13:06longer elsewhere, and precisely because
- 13:08you no longer compare the moment to
- 13:10anything, it becomes enough.
- 13:13Not perfect, not extraordinary, but
- 13:16enough.
- 13:17And this "enough" is a peace that pride
- 13:20cannot grasp.
- 13:23Many of your spiritual beliefs melt away
- 13:25on their own, not because they are false
- 13:27, but because they are no longer
- 13:29necessary.
- 13:31You no longer need maps because you are
- 13:33already on the terrain, and the terrain
- 13:35is alive, not drawn.
- 13:38And every scheme eventually becomes a
- 13:40new enclosure.
- 13:41You can say "I don't know" without
- 13:43feeling small.
- 13:45This lack of knowledge is not confusion
- 13:47, but openness.
- 13:50The place where life can still surprise
- 13:52you a little.
- 13:55Pride fears not knowing because it
- 13:57cannot master it.
- 14:00The soul feels at home in it, in the
- 14:02not-knowing.
- 14:03When someone asks you what you think,
- 14:05you no longer feel the need to have an
- 14:07opinion on the spot.
- 14:10You can listen without formulating your
- 14:13own view and can leave things open, and
- 14:15a presence without a conclusion is rare
- 14:17, but restful.
- 14:20The need to explain yourself also
- 14:21disappears, because being understood is
- 14:24no longer essential. Some will
- 14:25understand, others won't, others will
- 14:28get upset, others will get angry, and
- 14:30life does not wait for everyone to agree
- 14:32.
- 14:34You no longer rush to solve the pain of
- 14:36others, but you don't ignore it either.
- 14:39Sometimes your presence helps, sometimes
- 14:41it doesn't, and you no longer count that
- 14:44as a failure.
- 14:46Kindness becomes unintentional, not out
- 14:48of indifference, but out of the clarity
- 14:51that you are not the center and that a
- 14:53much broader wisdom works through
- 14:54everyone, including you, but not at your
- 14:57command.
- 14:58The idea of "moving forward" also melts
- 15:01away.
- 15:02You no longer measure if you are calmer
- 15:04than yesterday or more awakened than
- 15:06last year, because the soul is not
- 15:08weighed, it is lived, and there are no
- 15:10grades.
- 15:12Because you no longer live as if in an
- 15:14endless exam, a great fatigue vanishes,
- 15:17and there is nothing left to prove to
- 15:19life, to God, or to yourself.
- 15:22An objectless gratitude appears, a
- 15:24gentle openness toward the fact that you
- 15:26exist, that you breathe, that you feel
- 15:28even when it hurts.
- 15:31Life has problems, but in its entirety,
- 15:33it is no longer a problem to be solved,
- 15:35but a flow to be lived in which you are
- 15:37already present, without having missed
- 15:40anything.
- 15:42I was wondering, why can't we stick to a
- 15:44diet or why don't we manage to eat
- 15:46healthier?
- 15:48It simply doesn't want to, and it knows
- 15:50why.
- 15:52We have idols of goodness, ideals set
- 15:54too high, and then we must suffer.
- 15:59Passions and exaggerations bring us
- 16:01suffering, and suffering weakens them
- 16:03and brings them down, so it is actually
- 16:05good because adjustment happens through
- 16:07suffering.
- 16:11The greatest passion is worshipping
- 16:13idols, the ideal of holiness, virtues,
- 16:16and absolute rules.
- 16:18Behind the desire to be healthier, more
- 16:21self-controlled, more upright, there
- 16:23often hides a silent judgment.
- 16:26The way I am now is not good, we say.
- 16:29When this judgment becomes a holy law,
- 16:32life brings the opposite.
- 16:33It makes it so you cannot keep to a diet
- 16:36.
- 16:38Because you fall into excess.
- 16:42To forget, to deviate, and this thing is
- 16:44not a punishment, but a way to break the
- 16:46idol of goodness.
- 16:49When you understand this, you no longer
- 16:51see helplessness as a failure and you
- 16:53don't say "I am weak," but rather that
- 16:55life is correcting me and straightening
- 16:57something within me.
- 17:00And when you stop fighting your weakness
- 17:02, it begins to change on its own.
- 17:05Not because you imposed stricter control
- 17:07, but because you removed the tension
- 17:09when it was the very fuel it burned on.
- 17:12The teaching is clear and simple.
- 17:15Everything is perfect; we just need to
- 17:17see where we exaggerate and where we
- 17:19lean too heavily to one side, because
- 17:21that is where the pain comes from.
- 17:23If you cling to virtue, you will be
- 17:25pulled into vice. If you cling to peace
- 17:28, you will be thrown into conflict. If
- 17:30you cling to control, you will be led
- 17:32into chaos.
- 17:34And this is not because life hates you,
- 17:36but because it loves the whole, madly.
- 17:41When we take sides, it is good to
- 17:43quickly see how we went too far in one
- 17:45direction and how life starts to push
- 17:47back like a balance scale.
- 17:51And to say without fear, "I went too far
- 17:53to one side, now the correction is
- 17:55coming."
- 17:57When we are against someone, that is
- 17:59where the rift appears. But if He is in
- 18:01all things, who should we be upset with
- 18:03? And yet, sometimes we must be upset or
- 18:06defend ourselves as the case may be, and
- 18:08the state comes on its own.
- 18:12When we look back, we understand, but
- 18:14life comes as it is.
- 18:17We forget and then we enter the fight
- 18:19again.
- 18:20And that is not bad either, because both
- 18:22understanding and forgetting are part of
- 18:24the natural flow.
- 18:27When we raise something too high, it
- 18:28comes back reversed, and the idol hurts
- 18:31when it is struck.
- 18:33Without the idol, there is no suffering
- 18:35, but we raise them and call upon them
- 18:37so that balance can be achieved.
- 18:41The judgment. How beautiful it is!
- 18:43Everything changes constantly, swaying
- 18:45and beating like a heart. Life cannot
- 18:48exist without a minus, and a heart that
- 18:50no longer beats dies.
- 18:52Nor can we avoid raising idols, because
- 18:55we are human and the mind builds ideals
- 18:57, and it is precisely through raising
- 18:59and tearing them down that we mature.
- 19:02The Divine gives the idol and strikes
- 19:04the idol.
- 19:06He gives them through the mind, through
- 19:08education, through faith, through the
- 19:09world, and then He breaks them through
- 19:11life.
- 19:12And this is the school.
- 19:15We all have idols and we will all suffer
- 19:17in different measures.
- 19:20Some blindly, others seeing and giving
- 19:22thanks. Through understanding, some may
- 19:24melt away, but others appear.
- 19:27And He will take us all in turn.
- 19:29There is no person without an idol.
- 19:32Even those who believe they have none
- 19:34have subtler idols.
- 19:36The ideal of being without idols, of
- 19:38being awakened, of understanding
- 19:40everything—life will strike them too
- 19:42through confusion, through forgetfulness
- 19:44, through falling, and they still won't
- 19:47escape.
- 19:48Knowledge is not an ideal either,
- 19:50because even when we think we know, life
- 19:52makes us stop knowing.
- 19:55And ignorance can be just as holy as
- 19:57knowledge.
- 19:59The only true state is to accept
- 20:01ourselves as we are, not as a surrender
- 20:03, but as an acknowledgment.
- 20:07There is no better state than the one
- 20:09that already is, because that is where
- 20:11life is working now.
- 20:12Everything that happens is appropriate,
- 20:14not because it is comfortable, but
- 20:16because it is His choice.
- 20:18And He does what He knows must be done.
- 20:23And then you can say with a deep peace,
- 20:25"Thank you, Lord," because you see that
- 20:27every idol raised and every idol struck
- 20:29is a form of care from Him.
- 20:34A harsh love, but it is love.
- 20:37And in this acknowledgment, there is no
- 20:40more revolt, but a gentle humility, the
- 20:42humility of truth.
- 20:45I do not know better than life.
- 20:47It is like riding a bicycle.
- 20:50Whoever tries to sit perfectly straight
- 20:52, holding on without swaying at all,
- 20:54falls immediately.
- 20:56Balance comes from small sways.
- 20:58A little to the left, a little to the
- 21:00right, and the handlebars straighten
- 21:02themselves. You do not fight the swaying
- 21:05, for it keeps you on two wheels. It is
- 21:07the same with life. Today it takes you a
- 21:09little to one side, tomorrow a little to
- 21:11the other. Nothing is broken.
- 21:14That is how you move forward.
- 21:16From here on, you no longer seek to
- 21:18straighten everything, but you watch.
- 21:20You see where you lean, where you put
- 21:22your foot higher, where suffering
- 21:24appears, and instead of saying "why me,
- 21:26" you say "something is being ordered
- 21:28here."
- 21:30This change does not remove the pain,
- 21:32but it removes the tragedy, and without
- 21:35tragedy, the pain can pass and even
- 21:37teach you something.
- 21:39Life never makes a mistake; only the
- 21:42mind errs.
- 21:43Between how I should be and how I am,
- 21:46tension is born, and from it suffering—
- 21:48not because the real is wrong, but
- 21:50because the ideal was set too high.
- 21:54When you no longer want to be different
- 21:56, peace begins. When you no longer want
- 21:58to reach elsewhere, stillness begins.
- 22:00When you no longer want something better
- 22:02, life begins. And it is not a special
- 22:04state, but the natural one, which has
- 22:07always been here, covered by desires,
- 22:09ideals, and idols. When these fall away
- 22:11, nothing new appears; rather, what was
- 22:14already there is revealed.
- 22:17That subtle tension that always pushed
- 22:19you forward also slowly disappears, as
- 22:22if you had been eternally late for life
- 22:24.
- 22:26You no longer run to get where you need
- 22:28to be, because you see that you are
- 22:30already there, even when it hurts, even
- 22:33in chaos, even when you feel lost.
- 22:35When you no longer make "better" a goal
- 22:38, things change anyway, but not by force
- 22:40—only because the tension has left.
- 22:45Eating settles on its own, not because
- 22:47you forced yourself to do it, but
- 22:49because you no longer eat against
- 22:51yourself.
- 22:54Rest comes not because you kept a
- 22:56schedule, but because you no longer whip
- 22:58yourself for your exhaustion.
- 23:01The change that comes from acceptance is
- 23:03entirely different from the one that
- 23:05comes from the ideal.
- 23:07Suffering is not the opposite of good,
- 23:09but of stagnation.
- 23:12It appears precisely when life can no
- 23:14longer flow, where you have frozen
- 23:16something alive into a form, and then it
- 23:19comes as a different kind of thaw; often
- 23:21, it hurts exactly as much as the ice
- 23:23was thick.
- 23:26Struggle and peace are not opposing
- 23:28states, but phases of the same cycle.
- 23:32If you fight when it is not called for,
- 23:35you tear yourself apart; if you retreat
- 23:37when a response is needed, you fade away
- 23:39.
- 23:40Neither one is wrong in itself. The
- 23:42mistake arises only when you turn one
- 23:44into a permanent ideal.
- 23:46Then, a wisdom of the moment is born. To
- 23:49some, you feel the need to say a firm no
- 23:51, to others to be silent, to some to
- 23:53leave, to others to stay, and you no
- 23:55longer judge these impulses through the
- 23:57sieve of good and evil.
- 24:00This soothing comfort is not weakness,
- 24:02but maturity.
- 24:04Understanding comes, then goes, then
- 24:06returns even deeper.
- 24:08If it remained unshakable, it would
- 24:10become an idol.
- 24:13But that is why life knocks you down
- 24:15every now and then, so you do not lean
- 24:17on it, but on something more alive than
- 24:19knowledge: on experience.
- 24:24True security does not come from control
- 24:26, but from the strength to walk through
- 24:28uncertainty without breaking into pieces
- 24:30, and this is learned only by living.
- 24:35What remains is an attention without
- 24:36tension.
- 24:39Life itself does not ask if you are
- 24:41ready for the next move, it comes anyway
- 24:43, and that is the great liberation.
- 24:47You no longer have to be ready or in any
- 24:49specific, good state to receive what
- 24:51comes toward you.
- 24:54What comes, what comes is already
- 24:56appropriate for the state you are in.
- 25:00And that is not because the one you
- 25:01imagined
- 25:05is the true one.
- 25:07The desire for control was actually the
- 25:09desire not to feel, not to be surprised
- 25:12, not to be touched where it hurts.
- 25:15But those very touches are what keep you
- 25:17alive.
- 25:20Without them, you would end up a stiff
- 25:22building that walks but is dead, and
- 25:24life does not want to function for me to
- 25:26be alive, meaning you discover change.
- 25:31In plain sight.
- 25:33Falls are no longer failures, but
- 25:35returns to earth.
- 25:38You rose too high in an idea about
- 25:40yourself, in a virtue, in control, and
- 25:42the fall brings you back into the body
- 25:45and feeling, sometimes hurting precisely
- 25:47because the path from where you were to
- 25:49where you arrived is too long.
- 25:53Hurry is a sign of distrust.
- 25:56It says, I must get there quickly,
- 25:58otherwise I will lose something.
- 26:00But what could you lose if life takes
- 26:02you where you need to go anyway?
- 26:04When the hurry falls away, a natural
- 26:06rhythm appears, sometimes fast,
- 26:08sometimes slow. The rhythm of the
- 26:11circumstances, not of your nature.
- 26:13Willpower is not an absolute either.
- 26:16It is useful, but if you raise it too
- 26:18high, life breaks it.
- 26:20Not to weaken you, but to teach you a
- 26:22different way of walking.
- 26:24There are things that are not done
- 26:26through willpower, but through allowance
- 26:28, transformations that do not respond to
- 26:30effort but to relaxation. When you stop
- 26:33pushing, it moves.
- 26:34Another power appears that pride does
- 26:36not recognize.
- 26:39The power to remain, not to run from an
- 26:41uncomfortable state, not to look for an
- 26:44immediate solution just to go numb.
- 26:47It does not feel like power, but like a
- 26:49readiness to feel.
- 26:51When you stay, you see how many states
- 26:53consume themselves, without reason or
- 26:56explanation, because they have their own
- 26:58duration, and the struggle and desire to
- 27:00escape only prolong them.
- 27:02The fear of starting over also
- 27:04disappears.
- 27:06You know you will fall again, you will
- 27:08err again, you will forget again, and
- 27:10that is precisely why it is no longer a
- 27:12tragedy.
- 27:15Each time you see a little more clearly
- 27:17, and that is not because you have
- 27:18gathered something, but because you have
- 27:20lost.
- 27:24Maturing is not a collection of
- 27:25qualities, but a shedding of stiffness.
- 27:29You do not become more, but less, less
- 27:32certain, less fixed, less convinced, and
- 27:35in this "less," there is room.
- 27:39You no longer analyze every move and
- 27:41stop looking for hidden secrets
- 27:42everywhere.
- 27:45Sometimes things are simply tiring,
- 27:47sometimes beautiful, other times
- 27:49complicated.
- 27:50Not everything has to be a lesson,
- 27:52because purpose comes from living, not
- 27:54from secrecy.
- 27:56Holy ideals are dangerous precisely
- 27:58because they promise an end, a place
- 28:00where everything will be resolved.
- 28:03But that place does not exist. From this
- 28:05stillness, you begin to live more gently
- 28:07, not because you decided to, but
- 28:09because you are no longer at war. When
- 28:11you are no longer at war with yourself,
- 28:13you no longer need to fight with others
- 28:15. And when you no longer want to change
- 28:17yourself by force, you no longer want to
- 28:19change others either.
- 28:21And this doesn't happen because you have
- 28:23arrived somewhere, but because you have
- 28:25stopped leaving.
- 28:26Here, everything is a constant swaying.
- 28:30Yet even this swaying, the game between
- 28:32good and evil, between plus and minus,
- 28:35is a work of the divine.
- 28:38We have no guarantee that tomorrow we
- 28:40will wake up with the same understanding
- 28:42.
- 28:43Often we are left to forget just so we
- 28:45can fight and enter life again, because
- 28:47the One above does not want enlightened
- 28:49spectators, but a life lived.
- 28:53If we see Him in everything, the state
- 28:55remains, but it must be remembered
- 28:57always because the balancing is constant
- 28:59and alive.
- 29:02He knows what He is doing.
- 29:04The important thing is not to take sides
- 29:06and not to lean in only one direction.
- 29:09He destroys the excess on both sides,
- 29:12the exaggerations, the absolutes.
- 29:15And this is His power.
- 29:17The destroyer of idols. He does not
- 29:20punish the human, but the stubbornness.
- 29:22No one is guilty, it is His game.
- 29:26This is as much as was possible in this
- 29:28life and this is how He chose to balance
- 29:30it.
- 29:31These mysteries are hard to accept and
- 29:33often He does not even allow them to be
- 29:35understood, because people would get
- 29:37upset, and rightfully so.
- 29:40There is no need for anyone to be saved
- 29:42.
- 29:43The ego is hard to defeat and must not
- 29:45be saved, because it strengthens through
- 29:47salvation.
- 29:49And He defeats it, God defeats it
- 29:51through exhaustion, through suffering,
- 29:54through confrontation, through life
- 29:56lived to the fullest.
- 29:58If someone does not know these things,
- 30:00it means they are not meant to know them
- 30:02yet.
- 30:04And the road to suffering is the most
- 30:06suitable path for pride, for tearing
- 30:08down pride.
- 30:10Nothing to condemn.
- 30:12It is not the person confronting you,
- 30:14but God in the other, who tells you why
- 30:16you fight, it is not your business, let
- 30:18me handle what I am doing.
- 30:21Happiness is not just the good, but the
- 30:23good and what we call evil together.
- 30:26Health is not just the absence of pain,
- 30:28but the change between pain and its
- 30:30absence.
- 30:32And without this change, there is no
- 30:34happiness. Meaning without this balance
- 30:36, without this alternation.
- 30:38Illness comes softly without asking, and
- 30:41it is not a bad thing, but a natural
- 30:43order.
- 30:45Everything tilted to one side and now it
- 30:47balances back the other way.
- 30:51It is His body, His fate, His life, His
- 30:54world.
- 30:56The unique actor is alone on the stage
- 30:58of life playing all the roles, and all
- 31:00we can do is praise Him.
- 31:04Life is His, and He is the only author.
- 31:08Nothing is ours.
- 31:10Pain is the hell of emptiness, and yet
- 31:12through it, the balancing is done moment
- 31:14by moment.
- 31:16It is like the flowers in the window.
- 31:19You don't water them once at the
- 31:20beginning of summer and that's it.
- 31:22You water them today, and tomorrow again
- 31:24, and the day after again.
- 31:28If you forget one day they wilt a little
- 31:30, it is no drama.
- 31:33You water them and they recover.
- 31:37No one gets upset at the flowers for
- 31:39being thirsty again.
- 31:42It is the same with inner peace.
- 31:44You do not gain it once and for all.
- 31:47But remind yourself every day with a
- 31:49simple thought: You are in everything.
- 31:54Repetition is not there to fix things,
- 31:56but to recall them.
- 31:59We know we will forget, and it is good
- 32:01that we forget; repetition doesn't fight
- 32:04forgetting, it dances with it.
- 32:06Today you know, tomorrow you don't, the
- 32:08day after you know again, and none of
- 32:10these steps is above the other.
- 32:13When you see that balancing is alive and
- 32:16constant, you no longer seek to settle
- 32:18forever, and you no longer say "this is
- 32:20who I am" or "this is where I've arrived
- 32:23."
- 32:25You know that any fixed position will be
- 32:27shaken, and this is no longer a threat
- 32:32but a comforting certainty.
- 32:34That nothing is definitive, nothing can
- 32:37be lost forever.
- 32:39Tearing down the excess is not
- 32:45a cruelty, but a care, like a parent who
- 32:47doesn't let their child get stuck in a
- 32:49crooked position.
- 32:52Man is just the place where something
- 32:54has stiffened.
- 32:57Illness and pain are no longer fights
- 32:59from the very first moment, but things
- 33:01to be heard, allowed to tell their news
- 33:03.
- 33:06The greatest freedom is not to escape
- 33:08the swaying, but to no longer separate
- 33:10yourself from it, to stop fighting the
- 33:12wave and just let it be.
- 33:16Life does not want man to remain an
- 33:18eternal witness; it wants him to be an
- 33:20actor again from time to time.
- 33:25He must get dirty, get rigid, get lost,
- 33:27and not to punish him, but just to keep
- 33:30him alive, because without this total
- 33:32involvement, everything would become
- 33:34sterile.
- 33:37The desire to be balanced is a great
- 33:40trap, because it becomes, in itself, a
- 33:42new imbalance.
- 33:44Life balances itself through you, not
- 33:46you through it.
- 33:50When you try to stand forcedly in the
- 33:52middle of a storm, a hurricane, you will
- 33:54be thrown forcefully to the edge,
- 33:56because balance is not a position, but a
- 33:58movement.
- 34:03Salvation might imply that someone
- 34:05stands outside the work, but no one
- 34:07stands outside it, everyone being
- 34:09exactly where they need to be for their
- 34:11own turning point.
- 34:15There is no longer a desire to remain on
- 34:17the good side, because you see that this
- 34:19idea was just an attempt of the mind to
- 34:21defend itself.
- 34:23Life does not defend itself; it reveals
- 34:26itself, retreats, strikes, heals, and
- 34:28strikes again, not out of ignorance, but
- 34:31because it is infinitely wiser than any
- 34:33calculation of safety.
- 34:36A different kind of courage is born, not
- 34:38the courage to fight, but to remain open
- 34:41when you don't know what follows, to not
- 34:43close your heart just because it hurts,
- 34:45and to not close your mind just because
- 34:47it no longer understands.
- 34:50Life has never betrayed you, even when
- 34:53it took you to places you called hell.
- 34:56It took you precisely where rigidity
- 34:59could no longer live, where pride no
- 35:01longer controlled anything, and through
- 35:03that crack, something greater than you
- 35:05entered.
- 35:09Pain is no longer a sign that something
- 35:11is going wrong, but that something is
- 35:14moving, peeling away, balancing,
- 35:16rebalancing, and coming undone from an
- 35:18old form.
- 35:22>> Welcome to the Q&A podcast with Marius
- 35:24Ghidel and Gabriela Camelia Popescu, a
- 35:27space for knowledge, understanding, and
- 35:29discovering the truth.
- 35:34>> Uh, would you like to tell us something
- 35:35about the next three volumes?
- 35:38>> The next books—the first one is called
- 35:40The Secret of the simple and modest
- 35:42Jesus, not about Jesus anymore.
- 35:45Self-defeat, meaning the principles that
- 35:48He applied.
- 35:50Yes, self-defeat.
- 35:53The second book is The Way of Jesus, how
- 35:56to become a hero, the happiness of being
- 35:58imperfect, and the third, The Lesson of
- 36:01Jesus, how to become water and that, the
- 36:03power of being nobody.
- 36:07Nobody.
- 36:10These are the ones that still need to be
- 36:12, they will greatly disturb those who
- 36:14say they are believers but are not at
- 36:16all.
- 36:19They will get really angry.
- 36:24>> The books will certainly reach those who
- 36:26need them and will reach those who
- 36:27resonate with them, who understand them
- 36:29, who appreciate them, and who find them
- 36:31useful.
- 36:34Yes.
- 36:40Because I consider them to be like those
- 36:42pearls Jesus spoke of, not to cast them
- 36:44before swine; it is a knowledge that
- 36:46crowns the human within us, and so it
- 36:47will certainly reach exactly that person
- 36:49who knows.
- 36:56That there are secrets from the unseen
- 36:57there that can change their life and
- 36:59perspective here on earth.
