  1. 0:07A manual for modern exorcism.
  2. 0:11Not to hate, but I refuse to feel guilty
  3. 0:13anymore.
  4. 0:15And hate received without ideals fades
  5. 0:17faster than the suppressed kind.
  6. 0:20Because it is shame that anchors you to
  7. 0:22a state.
  8. 0:25Guilt, too, is the worship of an idol.
  9. 0:28To the ideal of being always forgiving,
  10. 0:30to the image of the one who should have
  11. 0:32been better and more understanding.
  12. 0:35When you feel guilty, you are actually
  13. 0:38saying: I have broken a holy law.
  14. 0:43But that law most often comes not from
  15. 0:45life, but from an inherited morality
  16. 0:47which, in fact, means worshiping Lucifer
  17. 0:50.
  18. 0:54Life does not ask for guilt, but for
  19. 0:56truth.
  20. 0:58And truth can sometimes look like anger
  21. 1:00, at other times like refusal, or like
  22. 1:02withdrawal.
  23. 1:04There is no need for us to always be
  24. 1:06forgiving.
  25. 1:09Forgiveness made into an obligation ends
  26. 1:11up being a violence against yourself.
  27. 1:15And sometimes being unforgiving is the
  28. 1:17only form of truth.
  29. 1:20What matters is that idols raised to the
  30. 1:22rank of absolute must fall.
  31. 1:24And if being unforgiving achieves that,
  32. 1:26then it is very good.
  33. 1:28We are, and we are not.
  34. 1:31If we do not react at all, because we
  35. 1:33have made non-reaction an ideal.
  36. 1:36Life tramples us, not as a punishment,
  37. 1:41but as a lesson.
  38. 1:43I have lived this.
  39. 1:45Non-reaction is divine, but reaction is
  40. 1:48also divine.
  41. 1:50And the limit, that too reaches its end
  42. 1:52.
  43. 1:53When we make acceptance an ideal, we
  44. 1:55have already raised an idol.
  45. 1:59The same applies when we make a duty or
  46. 2:01non-reaction a rule, and the heavenly
  47. 2:03will tear down every idol, even by using
  48. 2:06its exact opposite.
  49. 2:10If you have placed forgiveness above
  50. 2:12life, then you will receive
  51. 2:14unforgiveness.
  52. 2:16If you have placed peace above truth,
  53. 2:18you will receive conflict.
  54. 2:21If you have placed an idealized love,
  55. 2:23you will receive hate.
  56. 2:25Not as a punishment, but as a balancing
  57. 2:27, because the divine does not favor the
  58. 2:29edges, but the whole.
  59. 2:32There are no wrong states, only wrong
  60. 2:35attachments.
  61. 2:39All religions took a part of reality,
  62. 2:41made it absolute, and used it for
  63. 2:43dominance; and non-reaction,
  64. 2:45unconditional love, and endless
  65. 2:47forgiveness, taken out of the whole,
  66. 2:49became tools of control.
  67. 2:54Truth is wider and more uncomfortable.
  68. 2:57The Absolute is both reaction and
  69. 2:59non-reaction, and love, and what we call
  70. 3:02hate, and peace, and conflict. Not
  71. 3:04because it contradicts itself, but
  72. 3:06because it is alive.
  73. 3:10When we say that He gave it all, we do
  74. 3:12not say this to excuse violence or abuse
  75. 3:14, but to uproot the thought that
  76. 3:16anything ever existed outside of Him.
  77. 3:21Many get scared then and ask: does this
  78. 3:23mean that everything is permitted?
  79. 3:26No. Because it is not a matter of
  80. 3:28permission.
  81. 3:29Permission still belongs to pride,
  82. 3:31implying an authority that approves or
  83. 3:34disapproves.
  84. 3:35It is about reality.
  85. 3:38What reveals itself, reveals itself
  86. 3:40because it is necessary in that moment
  87. 3:42of crisis.
  88. 3:44Not because it is beautiful or moral,
  89. 3:46but because it works.
  90. 3:49Life is not moral; morality is man-made
  91. 3:51and is an idealization, it is a worship
  92. 3:54of the devil.
  93. 3:57Life is wise, but it preaches nothing.
  94. 4:01Acceptance raised to the rank of an
  95. 4:03ideal becomes a coercion.
  96. 4:05Man forces himself to accept what he
  97. 4:07cannot yet accept.
  98. 4:11He denies his anger, his rejection, his
  99. 4:13need for boundaries, and these powers
  100. 4:16turn against him as sickness, as
  101. 4:18pressure, exhaustion, or a delayed
  102. 4:20outburst.
  103. 4:23And this is not because he was wrong,
  104. 4:25but because he tried to stand above life
  105. 4:27.
  106. 4:29Life does not ask you to be above it,
  107. 4:31but within it.
  108. 4:32Sometimes with gentleness, other times
  109. 4:34with harshness, sometimes with silence,
  110. 4:37other times with confrontation.
  111. 4:39Love has no fixed form.
  112. 4:44That is why it cannot be made into a
  113. 4:46rule, and any rule about love will
  114. 4:48sooner or later be torn down by life.
  115. 4:52And that is a good thing.
  116. 4:54When you no longer keep your reactions
  117. 4:56trapped in guilt, they do their work and
  118. 4:58pass.
  119. 4:59You no longer have to watch yourself
  120. 5:01constantly and you no longer stand with
  121. 5:03a moral whip over yourself.
  122. 5:06And just when you stop trying to be good
  123. 5:08, a true kindness appears, which knows
  124. 5:10when to say yes and when to say no.
  125. 5:14When you see that He is the only author
  126. 5:17, the burden of false responsibility
  127. 5:19also falls away.
  128. 5:21You no longer believe that you must keep
  129. 5:23the world in balance, because life
  130. 5:25balances itself through everyone and
  131. 5:27everything, and you are just a space
  132. 5:29through which movement passes.
  133. 5:32It is done through me.
  134. 5:35Life was made to sway.
  135. 5:38And everything within it, the good and
  136. 5:40what we call evil, the pain and the
  137. 5:42suffering, are His.
  138. 5:45Nothing is ours; we just forget
  139. 5:47sometimes that He is everywhere.
  140. 5:50It is like the weather for the man in
  141. 5:51the countryside. Today it rains,
  142. 5:53tomorrow the wind blows, the day after
  143. 5:56the sun burns. He does not argue with
  144. 5:58the rain, nor does he force himself to
  145. 6:00love it. He does not preach to the
  146. 6:02clouds; he takes his coat when it rains
  147. 6:04and his hat when it is hot. He knows
  148. 6:07that everything has its purpose for the
  149. 6:08garden.
  150. 6:09It is the same with what rises within us
  151. 6:11. Anger, peace, sadness, joy are the
  152. 6:14weather inside.
  153. 6:16We do not choose them; we just dress
  154. 6:18appropriately and let them pass.
  155. 6:21Here comes a great liberation. You no
  156. 6:23longer have to be the same always.
  157. 6:27Matching your yesterday's self is a
  158. 6:29requirement of the mind, not of life,
  159. 6:31and life is full of paradoxes.
  160. 6:34Today you can answer, tomorrow you can
  161. 6:36be silent.
  162. 6:37Today you can fight, tomorrow you can
  163. 6:40let go.
  164. 6:40If you try to always be the same, you
  165. 6:43break.
  166. 6:44The soul has no fixed face and reveals
  167. 6:46itself differently in different
  168. 6:48circumstances.
  169. 6:50Only the ego wants to always be the same
  170. 6:52so it can recognize itself in the same
  171. 6:54story.
  172. 6:55The soul is alive, not consistent.
  173. 6:58You no longer try to bring others to
  174. 7:00your level and you no longer believe you
  175. 7:02know what is good for them.
  176. 7:06When you see that life organizes itself
  177. 7:08through everyone, you no longer need to
  178. 7:10fix the world and you no longer carry a
  179. 7:12responsibility that was never yours,
  180. 7:14because life has managed just fine
  181. 7:16without you.
  182. 7:18This does not diminish a person, but
  183. 7:20takes them out of the savior role and
  184. 7:22places them in that of a living witness
  185. 7:24.
  186. 7:25Love is not a feeling that is always the
  187. 7:28same, but a place where things can be as
  188. 7:30they are, sometimes with closeness,
  189. 7:32other times with distance.
  190. 7:35Moving away is not the opposite of love
  191. 7:37, but a form of it.
  192. 7:40When closeness would keep a falsehood
  193. 7:42alive, indulgence without truth becomes
  194. 7:44complicity with a lie.
  195. 7:48There are moments when saying no is the
  196. 7:50only gesture of love and when responding
  197. 7:53is healthy, not to destroy, but to set a
  198. 7:55boundary.
  199. 7:57And the boundary is not contrary to love
  200. 7:59, but its skeleton.
  201. 8:01When you no longer pin down a state with
  202. 8:04judgment, it no longer asks to be
  203. 8:05repeated.
  204. 8:07The mind always wants a safe place, a
  205. 8:10conclusion, a rule, a final point, but
  206. 8:12life does not stop to give them to it.
  207. 8:16When you see this, you no longer make
  208. 8:18understanding a condition for peace and
  209. 8:20you no longer say I will be at peace
  210. 8:22when I understand.
  211. 8:25Because peace comes when you no longer
  212. 8:27ask to understand everything, not out of
  213. 8:29ignorance, but out of trust.
  214. 8:32Many sufferings did not come from what
  215. 8:34happened, but from the argument with
  216. 8:36what happened.
  217. 8:38How much life I lived like a bargain: if
  218. 8:41I do this, maybe it changes; if I
  219. 8:43understand, maybe it stops; if I accept
  220. 8:46, maybe it passes.
  221. 8:48All these are attempts at control.
  222. 8:51The soul does not bargain; it opens or
  223. 8:54closes, speaks or stays silent, but not
  224. 8:56as a calculation, rather directly,
  225. 8:59without hidden intent.
  226. 9:03The more you let go of the reins, the
  227. 9:05more wisely life works through you.
  228. 9:09And this is not because you have become
  229. 9:11more skilled, but because you no longer
  230. 9:13stand in the way of the flow.
  231. 9:16Things settle themselves, sometimes you
  232. 9:18lose, other times you win, but in an
  233. 9:20order you do not defend, and you no
  234. 9:22longer remain silent to seem enlightened
  235. 9:25.
  236. 9:27You speak when it is alive to speak and
  237. 9:29you are silent when it is alive to be
  238. 9:31silent.
  239. 9:33And people feel that you are no longer
  240. 9:35playing a role, even if they wouldn't
  241. 9:37know how to say why.
  242. 9:40Some will draw closer, feeling the wide
  243. 9:42space.
  244. 9:44Others will move away, not finding
  245. 9:46anyone with whom to play the old games.
  246. 9:49You no longer say they left me, but
  247. 9:51simply that our paths have parted.
  248. 9:54And there is no drama in this, nor any
  249. 9:57victory.
  250. 9:59The world is not broken, but alive.
  251. 10:03It has tensions, imbalances, and
  252. 10:05quarrels, but these are signs of
  253. 10:08movement, not failure.
  254. 10:11And only the mind wants a world that is
  255. 10:13quiet forever, because stillness gives
  256. 10:15it the illusion of control.
  257. 10:18The need to forgive yourself also
  258. 10:20vanishes, because forgiveness is only
  259. 10:22needed where you previously judged, and
  260. 10:24when you no longer judge, there is
  261. 10:26nothing to forgive.
  262. 10:28Prayer is no longer a request, but a
  263. 10:30recognition.
  264. 10:33You no longer say help me escape or make
  265. 10:35it different, but rather I see that you
  266. 10:37are here.
  267. 10:40And help me to stop resisting.
  268. 10:44And often, even these words are no
  269. 10:46longer needed.
  270. 10:49You no longer chase salvation and you no
  271. 10:51longer wait for a happy ending, but you
  272. 10:53live, and life lived without resistance
  273. 10:56is already salvation, even if it doesn't
  274. 10:58look like the stories about it.
  275. 11:03A natural humility comes, not one from a
  276. 11:06textbook, where you no longer feel
  277. 11:08important, but neither small, just a
  278. 11:10part—a part that doesn't need to know
  279. 11:13everything, master everything, and
  280. 11:15understand everything.
  281. 11:19The search stops not because you have
  282. 11:21found all the answers, but because the
  283. 11:23questions no longer hurt.
  284. 11:26Gates open as wide as the sky, and the
  285. 11:28soul rests within them without falling
  286. 11:30asleep.
  287. 11:33For a long time, I lived as if life were
  288. 11:35an endless attack, and we always had to
  289. 11:38have an answer, a position, an
  290. 11:40explanation.
  291. 11:43This state of being on guard was a
  292. 11:45constant fatigue, not a virtue, because
  293. 11:48the soul does not live on guard, only
  294. 11:50pride does.
  295. 11:53The guard does not fall through a heroic
  296. 11:55decision, but through a gentle
  297. 11:57exhaustion; you simply no longer have
  298. 11:59the strength to resist.
  299. 12:01And in place of chaos comes peace, like
  300. 12:04a muscle that after years of tension
  301. 12:06finally lets go.
  302. 12:09You no longer read the past as a list of
  303. 12:12mistakes, and you don't say if I had
  304. 12:14done it differently; you see that
  305. 12:15everything that was had to be, because
  306. 12:18every reaction, every straying, and
  307. 12:20every struggle weakened an idol, and
  308. 12:22nothing was wasted, not even what looked
  309. 12:24like a failure.
  310. 12:29The soul no longer has to compare itself
  311. 12:32to what could have been and can be
  312. 12:33exactly what it is—with marks, with
  313. 12:36cracks, with mismatches—and from this is
  314. 12:38born a dignity distinct from pride.
  315. 12:43The dignity of no longer pretending.
  316. 12:46The future is no longer a place of
  317. 12:48salvation; you no longer say when things
  318. 12:51will be better, nor do you postpone your
  319. 12:53life for an ideal moment, because life
  320. 12:55never moves into the future, and any
  321. 12:57promise about later is an absence from
  322. 12:59the present moment.
  323. 13:02You wash a dish, walk down the street,
  324. 13:04listen to someone talk, and you are no
  325. 13:06longer elsewhere, and precisely because
  326. 13:08you no longer compare the moment to
  327. 13:10anything, it becomes enough.
  328. 13:13Not perfect, not extraordinary, but
  329. 13:16enough.
  330. 13:17And this "enough" is a peace that pride
  331. 13:20cannot grasp.
  332. 13:23Many of your spiritual beliefs melt away
  333. 13:25on their own, not because they are false
  334. 13:27, but because they are no longer
  335. 13:29necessary.
  336. 13:31You no longer need maps because you are
  337. 13:33already on the terrain, and the terrain
  338. 13:35is alive, not drawn.
  339. 13:38And every scheme eventually becomes a
  340. 13:40new enclosure.
  341. 13:41You can say "I don't know" without
  342. 13:43feeling small.
  343. 13:45This lack of knowledge is not confusion
  344. 13:47, but openness.
  345. 13:50The place where life can still surprise
  346. 13:52you a little.
  347. 13:55Pride fears not knowing because it
  348. 13:57cannot master it.
  349. 14:00The soul feels at home in it, in the
  350. 14:02not-knowing.
  351. 14:03When someone asks you what you think,
  352. 14:05you no longer feel the need to have an
  353. 14:07opinion on the spot.
  354. 14:10You can listen without formulating your
  355. 14:13own view and can leave things open, and
  356. 14:15a presence without a conclusion is rare
  357. 14:17, but restful.
  358. 14:20The need to explain yourself also
  359. 14:21disappears, because being understood is
  360. 14:24no longer essential. Some will
  361. 14:25understand, others won't, others will
  362. 14:28get upset, others will get angry, and
  363. 14:30life does not wait for everyone to agree
  364. 14:32.
  365. 14:34You no longer rush to solve the pain of
  366. 14:36others, but you don't ignore it either.
  367. 14:39Sometimes your presence helps, sometimes
  368. 14:41it doesn't, and you no longer count that
  369. 14:44as a failure.
  370. 14:46Kindness becomes unintentional, not out
  371. 14:48of indifference, but out of the clarity
  372. 14:51that you are not the center and that a
  373. 14:53much broader wisdom works through
  374. 14:54everyone, including you, but not at your
  375. 14:57command.
  376. 14:58The idea of "moving forward" also melts
  377. 15:01away.
  378. 15:02You no longer measure if you are calmer
  379. 15:04than yesterday or more awakened than
  380. 15:06last year, because the soul is not
  381. 15:08weighed, it is lived, and there are no
  382. 15:10grades.
  383. 15:12Because you no longer live as if in an
  384. 15:14endless exam, a great fatigue vanishes,
  385. 15:17and there is nothing left to prove to
  386. 15:19life, to God, or to yourself.
  387. 15:22An objectless gratitude appears, a
  388. 15:24gentle openness toward the fact that you
  389. 15:26exist, that you breathe, that you feel
  390. 15:28even when it hurts.
  391. 15:31Life has problems, but in its entirety,
  392. 15:33it is no longer a problem to be solved,
  393. 15:35but a flow to be lived in which you are
  394. 15:37already present, without having missed
  395. 15:40anything.
  396. 15:42I was wondering, why can't we stick to a
  397. 15:44diet or why don't we manage to eat
  398. 15:46healthier?
  399. 15:48It simply doesn't want to, and it knows
  400. 15:50why.
  401. 15:52We have idols of goodness, ideals set
  402. 15:54too high, and then we must suffer.
  403. 15:59Passions and exaggerations bring us
  404. 16:01suffering, and suffering weakens them
  405. 16:03and brings them down, so it is actually
  406. 16:05good because adjustment happens through
  407. 16:07suffering.
  408. 16:11The greatest passion is worshipping
  409. 16:13idols, the ideal of holiness, virtues,
  410. 16:16and absolute rules.
  411. 16:18Behind the desire to be healthier, more
  412. 16:21self-controlled, more upright, there
  413. 16:23often hides a silent judgment.
  414. 16:26The way I am now is not good, we say.
  415. 16:29When this judgment becomes a holy law,
  416. 16:32life brings the opposite.
  417. 16:33It makes it so you cannot keep to a diet
  418. 16:36.
  419. 16:38Because you fall into excess.
  420. 16:42To forget, to deviate, and this thing is
  421. 16:44not a punishment, but a way to break the
  422. 16:46idol of goodness.
  423. 16:49When you understand this, you no longer
  424. 16:51see helplessness as a failure and you
  425. 16:53don't say "I am weak," but rather that
  426. 16:55life is correcting me and straightening
  427. 16:57something within me.
  428. 17:00And when you stop fighting your weakness
  429. 17:02, it begins to change on its own.
  430. 17:05Not because you imposed stricter control
  431. 17:07, but because you removed the tension
  432. 17:09when it was the very fuel it burned on.
  433. 17:12The teaching is clear and simple.
  434. 17:15Everything is perfect; we just need to
  435. 17:17see where we exaggerate and where we
  436. 17:19lean too heavily to one side, because
  437. 17:21that is where the pain comes from.
  438. 17:23If you cling to virtue, you will be
  439. 17:25pulled into vice. If you cling to peace
  440. 17:28, you will be thrown into conflict. If
  441. 17:30you cling to control, you will be led
  442. 17:32into chaos.
  443. 17:34And this is not because life hates you,
  444. 17:36but because it loves the whole, madly.
  445. 17:41When we take sides, it is good to
  446. 17:43quickly see how we went too far in one
  447. 17:45direction and how life starts to push
  448. 17:47back like a balance scale.
  449. 17:51And to say without fear, "I went too far
  450. 17:53to one side, now the correction is
  451. 17:55coming."
  452. 17:57When we are against someone, that is
  453. 17:59where the rift appears. But if He is in
  454. 18:01all things, who should we be upset with
  455. 18:03? And yet, sometimes we must be upset or
  456. 18:06defend ourselves as the case may be, and
  457. 18:08the state comes on its own.
  458. 18:12When we look back, we understand, but
  459. 18:14life comes as it is.
  460. 18:17We forget and then we enter the fight
  461. 18:19again.
  462. 18:20And that is not bad either, because both
  463. 18:22understanding and forgetting are part of
  464. 18:24the natural flow.
  465. 18:27When we raise something too high, it
  466. 18:28comes back reversed, and the idol hurts
  467. 18:31when it is struck.
  468. 18:33Without the idol, there is no suffering
  469. 18:35, but we raise them and call upon them
  470. 18:37so that balance can be achieved.
  471. 18:41The judgment. How beautiful it is!
  472. 18:43Everything changes constantly, swaying
  473. 18:45and beating like a heart. Life cannot
  474. 18:48exist without a minus, and a heart that
  475. 18:50no longer beats dies.
  476. 18:52Nor can we avoid raising idols, because
  477. 18:55we are human and the mind builds ideals
  478. 18:57, and it is precisely through raising
  479. 18:59and tearing them down that we mature.
  480. 19:02The Divine gives the idol and strikes
  481. 19:04the idol.
  482. 19:06He gives them through the mind, through
  483. 19:08education, through faith, through the
  484. 19:09world, and then He breaks them through
  485. 19:11life.
  486. 19:12And this is the school.
  487. 19:15We all have idols and we will all suffer
  488. 19:17in different measures.
  489. 19:20Some blindly, others seeing and giving
  490. 19:22thanks. Through understanding, some may
  491. 19:24melt away, but others appear.
  492. 19:27And He will take us all in turn.
  493. 19:29There is no person without an idol.
  494. 19:32Even those who believe they have none
  495. 19:34have subtler idols.
  496. 19:36The ideal of being without idols, of
  497. 19:38being awakened, of understanding
  498. 19:40everything—life will strike them too
  499. 19:42through confusion, through forgetfulness
  500. 19:44, through falling, and they still won't
  501. 19:47escape.
  502. 19:48Knowledge is not an ideal either,
  503. 19:50because even when we think we know, life
  504. 19:52makes us stop knowing.
  505. 19:55And ignorance can be just as holy as
  506. 19:57knowledge.
  507. 19:59The only true state is to accept
  508. 20:01ourselves as we are, not as a surrender
  509. 20:03, but as an acknowledgment.
  510. 20:07There is no better state than the one
  511. 20:09that already is, because that is where
  512. 20:11life is working now.
  513. 20:12Everything that happens is appropriate,
  514. 20:14not because it is comfortable, but
  515. 20:16because it is His choice.
  516. 20:18And He does what He knows must be done.
  517. 20:23And then you can say with a deep peace,
  518. 20:25"Thank you, Lord," because you see that
  519. 20:27every idol raised and every idol struck
  520. 20:29is a form of care from Him.
  521. 20:34A harsh love, but it is love.
  522. 20:37And in this acknowledgment, there is no
  523. 20:40more revolt, but a gentle humility, the
  524. 20:42humility of truth.
  525. 20:45I do not know better than life.
  526. 20:47It is like riding a bicycle.
  527. 20:50Whoever tries to sit perfectly straight
  528. 20:52, holding on without swaying at all,
  529. 20:54falls immediately.
  530. 20:56Balance comes from small sways.
  531. 20:58A little to the left, a little to the
  532. 21:00right, and the handlebars straighten
  533. 21:02themselves. You do not fight the swaying
  534. 21:05, for it keeps you on two wheels. It is
  535. 21:07the same with life. Today it takes you a
  536. 21:09little to one side, tomorrow a little to
  537. 21:11the other. Nothing is broken.
  538. 21:14That is how you move forward.
  539. 21:16From here on, you no longer seek to
  540. 21:18straighten everything, but you watch.
  541. 21:20You see where you lean, where you put
  542. 21:22your foot higher, where suffering
  543. 21:24appears, and instead of saying "why me,
  544. 21:26" you say "something is being ordered
  545. 21:28here."
  546. 21:30This change does not remove the pain,
  547. 21:32but it removes the tragedy, and without
  548. 21:35tragedy, the pain can pass and even
  549. 21:37teach you something.
  550. 21:39Life never makes a mistake; only the
  551. 21:42mind errs.
  552. 21:43Between how I should be and how I am,
  553. 21:46tension is born, and from it suffering—
  554. 21:48not because the real is wrong, but
  555. 21:50because the ideal was set too high.
  556. 21:54When you no longer want to be different
  557. 21:56, peace begins. When you no longer want
  558. 21:58to reach elsewhere, stillness begins.
  559. 22:00When you no longer want something better
  560. 22:02, life begins. And it is not a special
  561. 22:04state, but the natural one, which has
  562. 22:07always been here, covered by desires,
  563. 22:09ideals, and idols. When these fall away
  564. 22:11, nothing new appears; rather, what was
  565. 22:14already there is revealed.
  566. 22:17That subtle tension that always pushed
  567. 22:19you forward also slowly disappears, as
  568. 22:22if you had been eternally late for life
  569. 22:24.
  570. 22:26You no longer run to get where you need
  571. 22:28to be, because you see that you are
  572. 22:30already there, even when it hurts, even
  573. 22:33in chaos, even when you feel lost.
  574. 22:35When you no longer make "better" a goal
  575. 22:38, things change anyway, but not by force
  576. 22:40—only because the tension has left.
  577. 22:45Eating settles on its own, not because
  578. 22:47you forced yourself to do it, but
  579. 22:49because you no longer eat against
  580. 22:51yourself.
  581. 22:54Rest comes not because you kept a
  582. 22:56schedule, but because you no longer whip
  583. 22:58yourself for your exhaustion.
  584. 23:01The change that comes from acceptance is
  585. 23:03entirely different from the one that
  586. 23:05comes from the ideal.
  587. 23:07Suffering is not the opposite of good,
  588. 23:09but of stagnation.
  589. 23:12It appears precisely when life can no
  590. 23:14longer flow, where you have frozen
  591. 23:16something alive into a form, and then it
  592. 23:19comes as a different kind of thaw; often
  593. 23:21, it hurts exactly as much as the ice
  594. 23:23was thick.
  595. 23:26Struggle and peace are not opposing
  596. 23:28states, but phases of the same cycle.
  597. 23:32If you fight when it is not called for,
  598. 23:35you tear yourself apart; if you retreat
  599. 23:37when a response is needed, you fade away
  600. 23:39.
  601. 23:40Neither one is wrong in itself. The
  602. 23:42mistake arises only when you turn one
  603. 23:44into a permanent ideal.
  604. 23:46Then, a wisdom of the moment is born. To
  605. 23:49some, you feel the need to say a firm no
  606. 23:51, to others to be silent, to some to
  607. 23:53leave, to others to stay, and you no
  608. 23:55longer judge these impulses through the
  609. 23:57sieve of good and evil.
  610. 24:00This soothing comfort is not weakness,
  611. 24:02but maturity.
  612. 24:04Understanding comes, then goes, then
  613. 24:06returns even deeper.
  614. 24:08If it remained unshakable, it would
  615. 24:10become an idol.
  616. 24:13But that is why life knocks you down
  617. 24:15every now and then, so you do not lean
  618. 24:17on it, but on something more alive than
  619. 24:19knowledge: on experience.
  620. 24:24True security does not come from control
  621. 24:26, but from the strength to walk through
  622. 24:28uncertainty without breaking into pieces
  623. 24:30, and this is learned only by living.
  624. 24:35What remains is an attention without
  625. 24:36tension.
  626. 24:39Life itself does not ask if you are
  627. 24:41ready for the next move, it comes anyway
  628. 24:43, and that is the great liberation.
  629. 24:47You no longer have to be ready or in any
  630. 24:49specific, good state to receive what
  631. 24:51comes toward you.
  632. 24:54What comes, what comes is already
  633. 24:56appropriate for the state you are in.
  634. 25:00And that is not because the one you
  635. 25:01imagined
  636. 25:05is the true one.
  637. 25:07The desire for control was actually the
  638. 25:09desire not to feel, not to be surprised
  639. 25:12, not to be touched where it hurts.
  640. 25:15But those very touches are what keep you
  641. 25:17alive.
  642. 25:20Without them, you would end up a stiff
  643. 25:22building that walks but is dead, and
  644. 25:24life does not want to function for me to
  645. 25:26be alive, meaning you discover change.
  646. 25:31In plain sight.
  647. 25:33Falls are no longer failures, but
  648. 25:35returns to earth.
  649. 25:38You rose too high in an idea about
  650. 25:40yourself, in a virtue, in control, and
  651. 25:42the fall brings you back into the body
  652. 25:45and feeling, sometimes hurting precisely
  653. 25:47because the path from where you were to
  654. 25:49where you arrived is too long.
  655. 25:53Hurry is a sign of distrust.
  656. 25:56It says, I must get there quickly,
  657. 25:58otherwise I will lose something.
  658. 26:00But what could you lose if life takes
  659. 26:02you where you need to go anyway?
  660. 26:04When the hurry falls away, a natural
  661. 26:06rhythm appears, sometimes fast,
  662. 26:08sometimes slow. The rhythm of the
  663. 26:11circumstances, not of your nature.
  664. 26:13Willpower is not an absolute either.
  665. 26:16It is useful, but if you raise it too
  666. 26:18high, life breaks it.
  667. 26:20Not to weaken you, but to teach you a
  668. 26:22different way of walking.
  669. 26:24There are things that are not done
  670. 26:26through willpower, but through allowance
  671. 26:28, transformations that do not respond to
  672. 26:30effort but to relaxation. When you stop
  673. 26:33pushing, it moves.
  674. 26:34Another power appears that pride does
  675. 26:36not recognize.
  676. 26:39The power to remain, not to run from an
  677. 26:41uncomfortable state, not to look for an
  678. 26:44immediate solution just to go numb.
  679. 26:47It does not feel like power, but like a
  680. 26:49readiness to feel.
  681. 26:51When you stay, you see how many states
  682. 26:53consume themselves, without reason or
  683. 26:56explanation, because they have their own
  684. 26:58duration, and the struggle and desire to
  685. 27:00escape only prolong them.
  686. 27:02The fear of starting over also
  687. 27:04disappears.
  688. 27:06You know you will fall again, you will
  689. 27:08err again, you will forget again, and
  690. 27:10that is precisely why it is no longer a
  691. 27:12tragedy.
  692. 27:15Each time you see a little more clearly
  693. 27:17, and that is not because you have
  694. 27:18gathered something, but because you have
  695. 27:20lost.
  696. 27:24Maturing is not a collection of
  697. 27:25qualities, but a shedding of stiffness.
  698. 27:29You do not become more, but less, less
  699. 27:32certain, less fixed, less convinced, and
  700. 27:35in this "less," there is room.
  701. 27:39You no longer analyze every move and
  702. 27:41stop looking for hidden secrets
  703. 27:42everywhere.
  704. 27:45Sometimes things are simply tiring,
  705. 27:47sometimes beautiful, other times
  706. 27:49complicated.
  707. 27:50Not everything has to be a lesson,
  708. 27:52because purpose comes from living, not
  709. 27:54from secrecy.
  710. 27:56Holy ideals are dangerous precisely
  711. 27:58because they promise an end, a place
  712. 28:00where everything will be resolved.
  713. 28:03But that place does not exist. From this
  714. 28:05stillness, you begin to live more gently
  715. 28:07, not because you decided to, but
  716. 28:09because you are no longer at war. When
  717. 28:11you are no longer at war with yourself,
  718. 28:13you no longer need to fight with others
  719. 28:15. And when you no longer want to change
  720. 28:17yourself by force, you no longer want to
  721. 28:19change others either.
  722. 28:21And this doesn't happen because you have
  723. 28:23arrived somewhere, but because you have
  724. 28:25stopped leaving.
  725. 28:26Here, everything is a constant swaying.
  726. 28:30Yet even this swaying, the game between
  727. 28:32good and evil, between plus and minus,
  728. 28:35is a work of the divine.
  729. 28:38We have no guarantee that tomorrow we
  730. 28:40will wake up with the same understanding
  731. 28:42.
  732. 28:43Often we are left to forget just so we
  733. 28:45can fight and enter life again, because
  734. 28:47the One above does not want enlightened
  735. 28:49spectators, but a life lived.
  736. 28:53If we see Him in everything, the state
  737. 28:55remains, but it must be remembered
  738. 28:57always because the balancing is constant
  739. 28:59and alive.
  740. 29:02He knows what He is doing.
  741. 29:04The important thing is not to take sides
  742. 29:06and not to lean in only one direction.
  743. 29:09He destroys the excess on both sides,
  744. 29:12the exaggerations, the absolutes.
  745. 29:15And this is His power.
  746. 29:17The destroyer of idols. He does not
  747. 29:20punish the human, but the stubbornness.
  748. 29:22No one is guilty, it is His game.
  749. 29:26This is as much as was possible in this
  750. 29:28life and this is how He chose to balance
  751. 29:30it.
  752. 29:31These mysteries are hard to accept and
  753. 29:33often He does not even allow them to be
  754. 29:35understood, because people would get
  755. 29:37upset, and rightfully so.
  756. 29:40There is no need for anyone to be saved
  757. 29:42.
  758. 29:43The ego is hard to defeat and must not
  759. 29:45be saved, because it strengthens through
  760. 29:47salvation.
  761. 29:49And He defeats it, God defeats it
  762. 29:51through exhaustion, through suffering,
  763. 29:54through confrontation, through life
  764. 29:56lived to the fullest.
  765. 29:58If someone does not know these things,
  766. 30:00it means they are not meant to know them
  767. 30:02yet.
  768. 30:04And the road to suffering is the most
  769. 30:06suitable path for pride, for tearing
  770. 30:08down pride.
  771. 30:10Nothing to condemn.
  772. 30:12It is not the person confronting you,
  773. 30:14but God in the other, who tells you why
  774. 30:16you fight, it is not your business, let
  775. 30:18me handle what I am doing.
  776. 30:21Happiness is not just the good, but the
  777. 30:23good and what we call evil together.
  778. 30:26Health is not just the absence of pain,
  779. 30:28but the change between pain and its
  780. 30:30absence.
  781. 30:32And without this change, there is no
  782. 30:34happiness. Meaning without this balance
  783. 30:36, without this alternation.
  784. 30:38Illness comes softly without asking, and
  785. 30:41it is not a bad thing, but a natural
  786. 30:43order.
  787. 30:45Everything tilted to one side and now it
  788. 30:47balances back the other way.
  789. 30:51It is His body, His fate, His life, His
  790. 30:54world.
  791. 30:56The unique actor is alone on the stage
  792. 30:58of life playing all the roles, and all
  793. 31:00we can do is praise Him.
  794. 31:04Life is His, and He is the only author.
  795. 31:08Nothing is ours.
  796. 31:10Pain is the hell of emptiness, and yet
  797. 31:12through it, the balancing is done moment
  798. 31:14by moment.
  799. 31:16It is like the flowers in the window.
  800. 31:19You don't water them once at the
  801. 31:20beginning of summer and that's it.
  802. 31:22You water them today, and tomorrow again
  803. 31:24, and the day after again.
  804. 31:28If you forget one day they wilt a little
  805. 31:30, it is no drama.
  806. 31:33You water them and they recover.
  807. 31:37No one gets upset at the flowers for
  808. 31:39being thirsty again.
  809. 31:42It is the same with inner peace.
  810. 31:44You do not gain it once and for all.
  811. 31:47But remind yourself every day with a
  812. 31:49simple thought: You are in everything.
  813. 31:54Repetition is not there to fix things,
  814. 31:56but to recall them.
  815. 31:59We know we will forget, and it is good
  816. 32:01that we forget; repetition doesn't fight
  817. 32:04forgetting, it dances with it.
  818. 32:06Today you know, tomorrow you don't, the
  819. 32:08day after you know again, and none of
  820. 32:10these steps is above the other.
  821. 32:13When you see that balancing is alive and
  822. 32:16constant, you no longer seek to settle
  823. 32:18forever, and you no longer say "this is
  824. 32:20who I am" or "this is where I've arrived
  825. 32:23."
  826. 32:25You know that any fixed position will be
  827. 32:27shaken, and this is no longer a threat
  828. 32:32but a comforting certainty.
  829. 32:34That nothing is definitive, nothing can
  830. 32:37be lost forever.
  831. 32:39Tearing down the excess is not
  832. 32:45a cruelty, but a care, like a parent who
  833. 32:47doesn't let their child get stuck in a
  834. 32:49crooked position.
  835. 32:52Man is just the place where something
  836. 32:54has stiffened.
  837. 32:57Illness and pain are no longer fights
  838. 32:59from the very first moment, but things
  839. 33:01to be heard, allowed to tell their news
  840. 33:03.
  841. 33:06The greatest freedom is not to escape
  842. 33:08the swaying, but to no longer separate
  843. 33:10yourself from it, to stop fighting the
  844. 33:12wave and just let it be.
  845. 33:16Life does not want man to remain an
  846. 33:18eternal witness; it wants him to be an
  847. 33:20actor again from time to time.
  848. 33:25He must get dirty, get rigid, get lost,
  849. 33:27and not to punish him, but just to keep
  850. 33:30him alive, because without this total
  851. 33:32involvement, everything would become
  852. 33:34sterile.
  853. 33:37The desire to be balanced is a great
  854. 33:40trap, because it becomes, in itself, a
  855. 33:42new imbalance.
  856. 33:44Life balances itself through you, not
  857. 33:46you through it.
  858. 33:50When you try to stand forcedly in the
  859. 33:52middle of a storm, a hurricane, you will
  860. 33:54be thrown forcefully to the edge,
  861. 33:56because balance is not a position, but a
  862. 33:58movement.
  863. 34:03Salvation might imply that someone
  864. 34:05stands outside the work, but no one
  865. 34:07stands outside it, everyone being
  866. 34:09exactly where they need to be for their
  867. 34:11own turning point.
  868. 34:15There is no longer a desire to remain on
  869. 34:17the good side, because you see that this
  870. 34:19idea was just an attempt of the mind to
  871. 34:21defend itself.
  872. 34:23Life does not defend itself; it reveals
  873. 34:26itself, retreats, strikes, heals, and
  874. 34:28strikes again, not out of ignorance, but
  875. 34:31because it is infinitely wiser than any
  876. 34:33calculation of safety.
  877. 34:36A different kind of courage is born, not
  878. 34:38the courage to fight, but to remain open
  879. 34:41when you don't know what follows, to not
  880. 34:43close your heart just because it hurts,
  881. 34:45and to not close your mind just because
  882. 34:47it no longer understands.
  883. 34:50Life has never betrayed you, even when
  884. 34:53it took you to places you called hell.
  885. 34:56It took you precisely where rigidity
  886. 34:59could no longer live, where pride no
  887. 35:01longer controlled anything, and through
  888. 35:03that crack, something greater than you
  889. 35:05entered.
  890. 35:09Pain is no longer a sign that something
  891. 35:11is going wrong, but that something is
  892. 35:14moving, peeling away, balancing,
  893. 35:16rebalancing, and coming undone from an
  894. 35:18old form.
  895. 35:22>> Welcome to the Q&A podcast with Marius
  896. 35:24Ghidel and Gabriela Camelia Popescu, a
  897. 35:27space for knowledge, understanding, and
  898. 35:29discovering the truth.
  899. 35:34>> Uh, would you like to tell us something
  900. 35:35about the next three volumes?
  901. 35:38>> The next books—the first one is called
  902. 35:40The Secret of the simple and modest
  903. 35:42Jesus, not about Jesus anymore.
  904. 35:45Self-defeat, meaning the principles that
  905. 35:48He applied.
  906. 35:50Yes, self-defeat.
  907. 35:53The second book is The Way of Jesus, how
  908. 35:56to become a hero, the happiness of being
  909. 35:58imperfect, and the third, The Lesson of
  910. 36:01Jesus, how to become water and that, the
  911. 36:03power of being nobody.
  912. 36:07Nobody.
  913. 36:10These are the ones that still need to be
  914. 36:12, they will greatly disturb those who
  915. 36:14say they are believers but are not at
  916. 36:16all.
  917. 36:19They will get really angry.
  918. 36:24>> The books will certainly reach those who
  919. 36:26need them and will reach those who
  920. 36:27resonate with them, who understand them
  921. 36:29, who appreciate them, and who find them
  922. 36:31useful.
  923. 36:34Yes.
  924. 36:40Because I consider them to be like those
  925. 36:42pearls Jesus spoke of, not to cast them
  926. 36:44before swine; it is a knowledge that
  927. 36:46crowns the human within us, and so it
  928. 36:47will certainly reach exactly that person
  929. 36:49who knows.
  930. 36:56That there are secrets from the unseen
  931. 36:57there that can change their life and
  932. 36:59perspective here on earth.
