Empty Afflictions

In facing day to day difficulties, let us practice patience, not only to assist others, but in the same manner towards our own selves.

We must refer, above all, to the senseless suffering we go through due to mental tension that slants us towards illness and annihilates valuable opportunities to serve.

In the past and in the present Spiritual mentors and living doctors fight anxiety as if one of the biggest corrosives of the soul. As is, it is only fair that we cooperate with them, for self benefit, protecting ourselves against the shadows of our imagination that wanders and bothers us without any benefits, threatening our emotional soundness.

Let us go through these hard times like an honest student, that did the best of him/herself in studying the lesson in such a way that when he/she shows up for the exam he/she has a clear conscience.

If our path has trails of a job followed through, restlessness visits our innermost house as a wrongdoer that wants to corrupt or squander. And just as it is arduous to defend your house’s atmosphere against destructive and invasive agents, it is fundamental to guard the perimeters of our thoughts, in order to guarantee the necessary serenity of the mind…


Apprehensive thoughts when facing afflictions is to facilitate their appearance, as a mind that thinks detrimental thoughts contributes for evil to take place; and to dismay when facing less than happy happenings makes the re-establishment of goodness necessary to readjust the energies that mistakes or errors have wasted more difficult.


Let us analyze without emotions the losses that our unjustified worries have caused others and ourselves, and lets avoid similar situations in the future by applying ourselves in dignified work during all those minutes or hours that many times, without even noticing, we engage in empty exasperations.

Let us remember that Heaven’s Laws, through the natural processes of action, both visible and invisible, provides aid to all of us through balance. We turn ourselves in to these forces, in between the needs for reform and the challenges of our progress, with the understanding that apprehension does not substitute collaborative work when facing the problems that arise along the way. And we shall do this, not only for the love the surrounds us, but to protect us against those times of anxiety that emerges and grows out of our own lack of vigilance to try and suffocate our soul or waste our time without any reasons for being.
