The Great Sower and The Great Sower of the Universe have once again allowed me to continue working with that plow that builds the furrow of time: unique, hopeful and committed. My infinite gratitude to them, and I hope I deserve the privilege of life.
For this new sowing of 2022 I am, and we are, mandated to carefully choose each one of the seeds to be planted — eg, the seeds of love or hate, of compassion or ego, of equanimity or of injustice, affection or coldness, forgiveness or victimization … – so that the great miracle occurs that will transform, right now, the impossible into the possible: the healing of humanity, that of all beings sentient and of nature.
A healing that can only arise from a new state of consciousness, which we must build together as soon as possible. A state of consciousness that violates neither the natural laws nor the spiritual laws of healing. Rather, it embraces and implements them to operate in that new consciousness.
We have to agree on how we are going to live on this beautiful planet, as a collective humanity, since the present path of individualistic materialism is totally unsustainable (climate change, water crisis …), and carries risks whose scope and negative impacts are still nor can we imagine them (material, spiritual, individual, collective, personal, community…).
We must pay special attention to developing our spiritual self-governance. That faculty of conscious internal growth that allows us to choose, decide and collectively build an ethic of planetary life of benefits for all.
It must be understood that it is not only about self-realization at the individual level, for example, about “compassion”, but that, simultaneously, we must commit ourselves to building a compassionate society.
May history judge us for this great effort that we begin today, and what we must do to create a planetary being, planetary institutions, and planetary actions. Let us be the example of how this path can be started from the local, community, citizen, territorial to the planetary, until we reach the total healing that we need today.
Love, inner peace, and commitment.
I wish you the best that life can give.
