We talk about the moments in our life when we feel hopeless, full of sadness and fear. It is a normal situation as part of our life. Our path on this earth is a path of knowledge, of love. True love. All the suffering that we have in this life is leading us to know this true love. But everything has its time for evolution. In the density and darkness is where we receive the strength and humility to blossom towards the light. The hardest experiences of our life end up being the greatest.

There are moments in our life where we feel completely locked up,

Like in a cell.

There are moments in our life when we feel like we are in a cell.

Where the only things that are around us are sadness,

Pain and frustration.

There are moments when we feel that we are so small,

So insignificant.

Where we think that we are not good for anything.

Where we think that we are completely alone and abandoned in this universe.

And he wants to say that this is very normal.

Because we are on this earth.

And that is part of our experience on our path on this earth.

We think that this happens only to us.

And that our problem is the biggest problem.

But he can say that every single human being lives this.

At some point in this life.

Because it is part of the experience in this world.

Because in this way love is experiencing itself in lightness and darkness.

Because our path on this earth is a path of knowledge.

It's a path of knowledge of love.

Of true love.

Of the love that does not admit or does not have pain and suffering.

And it doesn't admit or have it because it goes beyond the pain and the suffering.

Of the love that does not admit differences.

Because with the same love that the Creator sees Hitler sees Jesus Christ.

With the same love that my mother sees the children of the street and the crazy and the president.

With that same love it sees the stones and the trees and the flowers.

All the suffering that we have in this life is leading us to know this true love.

But everything has its time.

In the design of love in this creation.

We are going to see the evolution of a tree as an example.

First it is a seed that is within the earth.

In the density and the darkness of the earth.

Necessarily it has to go first to this density.

And the more it goes to the density its roots grow thicker and stronger.

But it first must go there.

To the earth.

To what is concrete.

To feel.

And then it will sprout.

Like a little sprout,

A little plant.

And the roots have to continue going deep nourishing themselves from the earth.

Nourishing themselves from that density that is the earth.

That darkness that is inside the earth.

That is where it is getting its strength.

To grow.

A strong trunk.

But the nutrients is taking them from the inside.

And in this way it continues growing until it blossoms and it gives fruit.

That is the design of creator in this earth.

We come to this earth the same as any other creature of this earth.

We inhabit in the womb of our mother.

As a seed.

There we experience absolute darkness in the womb.

But that darkness is an embrace of love.

All of these very difficult things that happen to us in our life truly are an embrace of love.

That is giving us a gift on this earth.

It is taking us to first know this density.

But after the seed has been given life.

Then the birth happens.

And that birth is painful.

It is part of the experience on our path on this earth.

We cannot run away from the pain.

We can only choose how we want to relate ourselves to it.

We can choose to relate to it in a natural way.

So then we say that we are observing.

We are awakening consciousness.

Because we are recognizing that it has a purpose.

So when we are born we come to this life,

To the light.

If we look well in the entire universe this is happening.

Everything is born,

Returns to the earth and everything is in a constant blossoming.

So let's return once again to the beginning.

That point in our life when we feel so much pain,

So much sadness and so much lack of help.

He wants to say that what is happening then is a birth.

That is the truth.

That is what is happening.

But in the moment amidst the pain we can't see that.

Because the pain and the suffering distract us.

He is speaking of how everything is designed in this creation.

Like the cocoon.

That it can appear as though there is a death.

A complete darkness.

But the truth is that out of the cocoon comes a beautiful butterfly.

After that darkness naturally comes lightness.

We are going to speak about a lotus flower.

That is amidst the mud.

Within the darkness.

And then a beautiful flower is born that opens up to the universe,

To the light,

To beauty.

So with all of this we can identify that all of that pain,

All of that suffering has a purpose.

And that in the design of life everything is passing.

Nothing stays stagnant.

Every night brings its day.

All of this suffering at some point will pass.

And now what can we do while we are in that suffering to empower ourselves?

So we are going to return to our heart.

Because when we are experiencing all of that pain,

All of that frustration,

All of our being has a point of focus that is called the ego or our mind.

And so then we are out of the present time.

We are feeding the sadness of a memory.

That feeling of not having something.

We are not having someone.

And we are feeding that pain.

And so there we have a beautiful opportunity.

To change our relationship to what happens to us.

And to simply amidst the sadness say,

Well this is a blessing.

What can I do to make out of this a blessing?

And so we are going to remember once again the design of this universe.

Within us.

And this design is that my ego gives me suffering and my heart gives me peace and beauty.

And so then I go to my heart.

It simply requires a small instant.

And even amidst the sadness and the pain I bring a memory of peace.

I create a beautiful vision of the being that I want to be.

And that is like lighting a light in the darkness.

Because that single instant of power resounds in the entire universe.

And it returns to me with so much force that it has the power to transform me.

It's like when the baby is coming out of the mother's womb.

That it is said that the mom is going to give light.

In Spanish it sounds this way,

To birth is to give light.

So I am going to give light.

I am going to clear myself in the middle of the darkness.

I am going to inhabit my heart.

But it requires decision.

And it begins with the intention of doing it.

And the more I sustain this vision,

More power that this vision will start to have.

And that is to empower yourself.

That is the beautiful possibility that absolutely all of us have.

It doesn't matter how big your problem is.

I can in any moment go to my heart.

Because always,

Absolutely always,

Eternally I will have this tool.

That is called the heart.

Fountain of well-being.

Origin of the power of love.

So wishing for all of us that this act of going to our heart,

We can do it as many times as possible.

That the more we feed this vision,

More power it will have.

But we know that when we are in a state of that darkness,

That darkness will always return.

It's not about starting a battle.

It's about starting an adventure.

And getting to the point even of making it fun.

So if ten times the sadness comes to me,

Then ten times I will place some light from my heart.

And I imagine myself smiling and at peace.

And if a hundred times the sadness comes,

Then a hundred times I go to my heart.

Until it becomes fun.

It becomes a beautiful game.

Until you understand that it is part of the experience of our path on this earth.

Until the moment comes when I can be at peace with the pain.

And there may even come a moment when I only become a spectator of that pain.

And there is a part of me that is eternal that will know that this pain is passing.

So in this way wishing that you can make of your life a big adventure between your mind and your heart.

That we can make out of our life a beautiful life.

And give everything that happens to us to the love that has everything with a purpose in this universe.

And thank you for your attention.

THANK YOU BOTH ...I love your offerings. This one helps me immensely , today, as I try to make sense of my young son's death ,a few days ago.It is a puzzle , why a beautiful soul did not completely pull away ,with the multitudes of offers of help ,from the ravages of alcohol , etc. A daughter is also in this world , this all hurts like hell. I am grateful to be able to write here, to express ... I shall listen again , to remember the tools to bring light....💗
