Our body is
not our prison, but a shelter that protects our spirit, the essence of what we
really are. As shelter, it is the “material” we have in us, and therefore
subject to variations in this physical and material world.
We are one
spirit in one body, but not necessarily limited by that body. The fear that
often accompanies us is the fear of what can harm us in our “material part”.
There aren’t many sensations of fear that really can shake or break our spirit
- because our spirit is something much larger and more comprehensive than what
we understand.
Our lives
here are short, just passages, as parts of a path that must be traveled to our
evolution as beings, spirits.
When we
allow us the accommodation and be paralyzed by fear, we should assess whether
we fear some real damage to what we are or if we fear our own evolution, our
own growth.
There's no
difference between the man who sleeps on the street, homeless or without food
and the man who finds himself surrounded by comfort and luxury - both are
superior to what they have around where they are and how they live.
At some
point, humanity get now has the priority of "shelter" (body) instead
of its own evolution and growth (spirit). The values were being gradually
reversed, and today we are much more difficult to break with what we learned
during the period we live in this world.
Today, we
have so many barriers to break and the concepts that we have, are much more
difficult even to recognize ourselves as spirits - we look at the physical and
not the essence.
When we'll
can give value back to what really value has, we'll still have a long way to
go, to break with everything that we allow being our habits, thoughts, desires.
Arrives and
we all come to a moment where we have to evaluate and choose those that are and
will be our priorities - if it will be our shelter or our "being."
The later
we allow this moment to arrive, will cost us more choice, and the greater will
be the "losses" with which we must deal with.
If we
accumulate more and more comfort, property and possessions, the more we will
trapped ourselves, and the harder it will be to us "open the door."
There is no
sin in the shelter, the greater sin lies in excess. And the main reason is our
fear, we fear "we", ‘cause "having" is much easier.
The time
will come for everyone, and there will be no way to strengthen our castles,
fortresses and walls - it is our spirit that needs to be strengthened. Unless we have other priority.
