Self-Knowledge

Self-knowledge is the process through which man succeeds in seeing himself without a mask and stops running from himself. The inner strength, which rarely receives attention, thus becomes accessible. Unveiling the self does not change you, but reminds you who you are.

The conscious man finds within himself both the motivation and the resources needed to rise, to acknowledge his mistakes, and to try again, even for the thousandth time. Any source of external help, with temporary effect, makes him dependent and takes advantage of his vulnerability.

Self-knowledge grants access to a wisdom whose existence man rarely recognizes throughout his life. We are not speaking of immediately acquiring an intelligence capable of mastering all material things, but of a clear vision of his own life. Many thus succeed in accepting and understanding the reasons behind a family’s disintegration or the loss of a loved one.

Any benefit drawn from hidden spiritual treasures emerges in delicate moments, when man is tested. The new aggressive reality, based on consumerism and ruled by money, does not have the power to make him forget who he is. In the world, he enters only as much as necessity demands.

Rage for a good purpose, keep your intention pure, and call things by their name. Someone must speak the truth, despite the risk he takes. There are those who sigh as they pass a luxury car, and those who love to watch a sunset, to start a family, and to honor God.

The man who leaves his family for a one-night adventure, be glad he is gone. He does not know himself and does not realize that, in the presence of a warm and loving home, any fantasy pales.

Do not reward me for the courage I give you. Clarify the situation of past relationships that have broken your wings, and in doing so, you will bring me joy.

Reach out to your relatives, pay your debts, and forgive those who have obstructed you. Rejoice if you learn that the one you once left has rebuilt his life, and do not succumb to envy. Even the imperfect have the right to self-knowledge and fulfillment.

Life is not fair, you often tell yourself, persisting in your struggle. Overcome frustration and avoid compulsive thinking. The most harmful illness of all time is worry about tomorrow. If circumstances allow, leave the city and move to the countryside; one day you will thank yourself.

Life was not meant to be easy and free of challenges; indeed, challenges create happiness. The more you allow life to pass through you, with its good and its bad, the more you will know yourself and, in the end, you will laugh at all the misfortunes that once crushed you.

Unveiled Self

I love you. I want you to know this and to develop a mature faith. It requires trust in your own self and an aspiration toward self-knowledge. If you feel panic or sadness, do not hide from them; embrace them, and they will leave, knowing they have been overcome. Fear, too, must understand that in your perception, death is nothing.

More and more people feel a repulsion toward beautiful emotions and avoid them. It is a sign that they still carry an open inner wound, replacing the light with something else. Yet wisdom and good taste will never disappear.

Choose the beautiful, love nature, and fight for your family. Even if the soul is invisible, it still needs nourishment. The mind is also unseen, yet it enjoys your full attention. Your soul is the very being you look at each morning in the mirror.

I do not give you the guide of the freshly awakened man for a price. The worldly spiritual has had all his powers annihilated through validation and abundance, so that he can no longer contribute. Instead, I offer you a series of books free of charge, in which God defends the so-called sinner.

By being grateful for what God has given you, you will receive more. By loving without claiming possession, you will be loved. By successfully facing all the temptations, which have multiplied in recent times, you will conquer the Spiritual Kingdom.
