When the teachings enter into the understanding of human beings, they cease to be teachings and become knowledge and consciousness that are acquired, assumed, and integrated.
Later, they will again become teachings that will be understood and transformed once more into knowledge.
These teachings will be repeated again and again, with the same or different words, by one or many teachers.
Only in this way — with men and women who are brave and defenders of a single truth in evolution, who guide humanity from childhood to improve their behavior and way of life, united with the will not to harm the environment that surrounds and nourishes us, both physically and spiritually — is woven a white path of peace and consciousness that takes care of us, guides us, and protects us all, creating within our hearts a strength, a faith, and a hope that propels us toward the future.
The same force that sustains life is the one that gives us the belief and desire to be part of it — of this life we do not know, and which we always long to make better.
Religions, politics, and beliefs will disappear with time, but the knowledge that makes our consciousness grow is eternal.
Throughout the vastness of time, we have created cultures, civilizations, ethnicities, traditions that evolve, disappear, grow, or are born.
We are always in constant motion, and too often even fighting to convince others that one branch of the tree has more right to exist than another.
Each and every one has had or has its reason to be in its time.
Each and every one of them wants to remind us who we are, where we come from, and what we must remain faithful to.
All this knowledge wants to lead us to a single truth: to be good people, to improve, to love life, and to live in peace.
For this, it is not necessary to defend any belief; we should simply try to live what they seek to teach us and show, through our example, that it is indeed possible to do so — feeling tranquility and stability that emanate from within.
I believe that every person, philosophy, religion, or tradition deserves recognition and respect for what it is in itself and for what it contributes.
We will pass, sooner or later, into new lives — physical or spiritual — we will occupy other bodies, beginning again as children, living other experiences, and once more believing that we hold the truth.
We will not remember what we believed and took for certain one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand years ago, when we lived in another body, another incarnation, another place, another land, or another solar system.
Why must we now believe that our ways of being are so correct that we would almost die to preserve them…? When observed through infinity, it makes little sense.
But what will always make sense and mark our past, present, and future existences will be the free creation of our personality.
It is what gives value to our soul and makes us different from others, creating day after day, year after year, life after life, a seal that defines who we are and how we are.
