The council of shadows

In a dark, hidden corner of the world, far from the eyes and conscience of humanity, seven agents of evil — Pride, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, and Sloth — gather to discuss the fate of planet Earth.

The air is thick, motionless. Twisted shadows dance along the walls of that timeless hall, while an ominous silence precedes the beginning of the meeting.

“Colleagues,” declares Pride, his voice firm and arrogant, “even on this gloomy night we are here, assembled beyond humanity’s awareness. The time is near: the fulfillment of the prophecies approaches. No one will be able to defeat us. Our forces are powerful, and we have deployed every possible scheme to bring down these silly deluded creatures. Yet it is not enough, and that is why we are gathered here once more.”

“I despise them,” Envy interjects, her gaze filled with malice. “Seeing them rejoice, even for a moment, is unbearable to me. They are still so fortunate: they can experience moments of light, of hope, even something that nourishes their souls.”

Pride smiles — a cold smile.

“And that is precisely what we must erase completely: the idea that there is something eternal, something spiritual within them. What would our mission be for otherwise, if not to defeat the forces of Good and tear away as many souls as possible to our side? They will come to believe that everything ends here, that nothing exists beyond this life. And when they lose hope… they will fall into the deepest abyss.”

A cavernous laughter echoes through the hall.

“You’re right, Pride,” adds Greed, symbolically clutching in his hands what he does not yet possess. “But we must go further. I will accumulate everything: money, precious stones, oil, resources. Everything will be mine. I will leave nothing to those fools. I will make them slaughter one another for a piece of paper, for a fragment of land, for a barrel of crude oil. They are capable of wars and genocides for so little, unaware that soon everything will belong to us.”

“And they are even willing to sell their own bodies,” Lust bursts out laughing. “For money, for pleasure. By remaining prisoners of bodily desires, they forget the soul. Abortions, obscene acts, corruption of bodies and minds — even of children… it is essential to capture them from early childhood.”

Then she turns toward Wrath, who is trembling with rage.

“Still, Wrath, I see you’re about to explode.”

“If it were up to me,” snarls Wrath, “I would wipe them off the face of the Earth. Destruction, suffering, annihilation — that is what I desire. There is only one solution: a world war. Driving them mad until they unleash the most destructive weapons. Erasing them.”

“Calm yourself,” Pride interrupts. “Before the final blow, we must bring as many souls as possible to ruin. We dared to challenge the One who calls Himself Almighty, and we will continue to do so. Even those who pursue Good must fall.”

A new wave of collective laughter spreads through the chamber.

“Let us not forget the mind,” Gluttony interjects, his voice slick and heavy. “Not just the body. APart from food waste, famine and junk food, let us think about drugs, alcohol, and other substances that can destroy especially the brain, dulling them to the point where they become incapable of using reason. Confused and numbed, they will no longer be able to focus on their souls and spirits. And when the mind is clouded and deprived of clarity, every possibility of elevation vanishes. That is when they become ours for good.”

Pride nods.

“Excellent plan, Gluttony. But Sloth… you have remained silent.”

Sloth yawns, bored, with a faint smile.

“You all strive too hard. My method is simpler, and precisely for that reason effective: stealing their time. Wasting it on useless activities, extreme technology, constant distractions, idleness, depression, anxiety. Minutes, hours, days, and years thrown away. Precious time they could use to awaken, to question themselves, to elevate themselves, to do good deeds.”

He pauses, observing the others with an air of superiority.

“And the most amusing thing is that while you exhaust yourselves with your diabolical actions, my plan unfolds anyway. Every war, every addiction, every uncontrolled desire, every clouded mind contributes to keeping them motionless, tired, emptied. Stuck. No great effort is required — it is enough that they remain busy, confused, exhausted. Until they no longer even realise they are losing what is most precious to them. And when time is consumed, so too is the soul.”

“We truly are diabolical,” they all laugh.

“That’s not enough for me,” Envy hisses. “I want to divide them. Slander, distrust, mutual hatred. The more separated they are, the stronger we become.”

“They are fools,” Wrath growls. “They fight their own brothers and sisters for land and resources. Isn’t that right, Greed?”

“You’re right. The times are ripe,” Greed confirms. “The prophecies speak clearly, and those at risk of being lost are the majority. But it is not enough for us. We must want more.”

“They will be our slaves,” Pride concludes. “Microchips, robots, control. No one will be able to stop us.”

“And those who stand on the side of That One? They might hinder us,” Envy asks with contempt.

“They will suffer more,” Pride replies. “Unless they are protected. Unfortunately.”

“But then,” Envy reflects, “we might even make them stronger, more elevated…”

The chamber darkens further.

“It doesn’t matter,” Pride concludes. “We are unstoppable, and you know well that we never cease plotting against That One, His messengers, and His creation. Everything must be ours. We will meet again to devise something even more diabolical.”

The meeting comes to an end.

Aware of the little time remaining, the agents of evil depart, ready to reap as many souls as possible. What they still do not realise, however, is that the hatred and division they fuel will consume them. Soon they will turn against one another, along with their own legions.

For where destruction and discord reign, Love and Harmony cannot exist. And even their power, like every illusion, is destined to fade — especially where humans experience Love, Unity, and Virtue.

The Quiet Wealth of Being

How lucky we are when we learn to see what truly matters. Many of us measure life by labels and momentary pleasures: the right coat, the perfect trip, a seat at an exclusive table. When those things are missing, the complaint is quick and loud. Yet another person—less loud, perhaps—gives thanks for a glass of water, a warm meal, the steady roof above their head, the touch of a friend who cares. These are not small things. They are the scaffolding of a life.

Happiness is relative because our lives are lived here on earth, in time and place, in bodies that need rest and breath. But there is a kind of absolute joy that reaches beyond condition and commodity—call it the Creator’s peace, call it God, call it the deep calm some people find inside. That deeper joy does not depend on fashion, account balances, or applause. It rests in a heart that notices and honors what is simple, true, and sustaining.

Imagine if we taught our eyes to seek beauty not in excess or harm, but in virtue and care. Imagine if the most admired qualities were not wealth and show, but honesty, wisdom, compassion, and humility. Think of how different our choices would be when the beautiful becomes the good. A face grown kind with age, the steady patience of a teacher, the righteous and peaceful governor, the soulful suffering of those who are in need, a landscape that takes our breath and quiets our rush etc.

The everyday gifts are easy to overlook. Water for drinking and washing, food to share, a street that is safe at night—these are miracles when we travel a little and see how many lack them. We are fortunate if our homes are not battlefields, if our days are not shaped by fear. When we live in such a place, gratitude can be a daily discipline. Gratitude trains us to notice, and noticing changes the heart. The small act of saying “thank you” softens the sharpness of complaint and opens us to wonder.

Gratitude becomes courage when it leads us to act. To feel blessed and do nothing is a kind of theft. If we treasure the quiet gifts of life, we owe it to others to widen those gifts’ reach. That work need not be grand to be real. It begins with small, steady acts: sharing what we can, listening when someone needs to speak, refusing gossip that wounds, voting for common good, teaching children to protect what is fragile. One generous hand can set an example; many gentle hands can change a town, a country, a world.

Unity is another kind of beauty. We do not all share the same ethnic group, language, or belief. That difference may frighten or divide us—but it also expands what is possible. When people of different backgrounds gather around shared ideals—fairness, learning, mercy, stewardship—we discover that distinction is not contradiction. It can be a bridge. A world that values the soul’s depth over surface sameness will find ways to listen, to build, and to forgive. This harmony may feel like an impossible dream, but every real change begins as someone’s choice to see beyond immediate comfort.

Our era tempts us toward quick satisfaction and hollow distinction. The lure of brands, the rush of always wanting more, the conversation that centers on what we do not have—these are powerful. Yet they are also fragile. Possessions decay; praise fades. Character quietly endures. To cultivate a life of meaning, we must practice seeing with different eyes. We must teach ourselves to find beauty in honesty, to praise restraint, to celebrate a spirit that seeks Truth over triumph. When beauty and goodness become inseparable, they guide our acts and shape our communities.

Change is a slow miracle. It does not require perfect people—only people willing to grow. Start where you are: choose gratitude this morning for a small thing, then another. Speak gently to someone who feels unseen. Protect what you can: a tree, a neighbor’s safety, a child’s chance to learn. Learn to listen before arguing. Let your work reflect care, not merely profit. These may seem like ordinary choices, but they add up. They teach others how to live.

If we all shifted our view, if we learned to admire virtuous hearts, to protect fragile beauties, to join hands across difference,then the world would not need grand slogans or impossible guarantees to become better. It would become better because ordinary people chose, repeatedly, to be kind, brave, and wise. That is how utopia begins: not as a finished plan, but as a thousand small decisions to value what lasts.

The quiet wealth of being is a house we can build, brick by patient brick. It asks for less show and more presence, less wanting and more giving, less fear and more trust. To change perspective is to change action. To change action is to change the world. If we truly want a life that matters, let us begin by noticing the gifts we already hold, and then using them to open the hands of others.

Masks Falling, Truth Rising

My dear sisters and brothers,

In these challenging times, as we witness the decline of our world— marred by malice, bad habits, destruction, vice, corruption, falsehood, hypocrisy, and the looming threat of nuclear annihilation— I implore you to stop to reflect. If we continue on this path, we are going to face the grim reality of a self-inflicted end. Our Earth, a precious and irreplaceable home, is being destroyed not only by our hands but also by a strong dark system that controls and deceives.

We are living in a time shaped by a horrible tragedy, which is a dark and sneering comedy for some powerful evil actors. All around us, masks are falling to the ground, revealing lies long disguised as truth, exposing corruption, injustice, and the ancient hatreds that have wounded humanity for generations. We watch wars unfold, not by accident but by design, orchestrated by unseen hands driven by greed for power, wealth, and dominion. In Sudan, in Palestine, and in so many silent corners of the world, lives are shattered while the powerful move their pieces as if on a board untouched by human pain.

Every day, forces rise that seek to reshape not only nations but the very essence of what it means to be human. They twist Truth into falsehood until people forget how to see clearly. They control narratives, bending perception itself, reshaping reality until we no longer trust our own eyes. Technology, once a tool for connection, now threatens to watch, influence, and predict our every step, replacing humanity with machinery, with illusion.

We live in a world where financial systems bind people in invisible chains, where materialism drowns out the whispers of the spirit and the soul, and where vice is offered as the highest virtue. The family — once the heart of identity, strength, and belonging — is weakened by confusion, distortion, and the push toward artificial ideologies that obscure the Purity of Love, Duty, and Unity.

Across nations, power gathers into few hands, many of them dirty and stained with innocent blood. Sovereignty dissolves. Fear becomes a currency. Crises — wars, poverty, disasters — are used to push humanity into a single direction, toward systems that demand obedience in exchange for false promises of safety. Religion is mocked, faith hollowed out, and spirituality twisted into shapes that lead people away from the Divine and toward empty shadows.

Even the human body is no longer seen as sacred. Technologies creep into the most intimate places of life, altering biology, suppressing natural healing, and blurring what is uncorrupted. At the same time, addictions rise, moral values erode, and humanity is encouraged to indulge in whatever weakens the soul and the spirit. Darkness, once hidden, now walks in daylight — in symbols, in entertainment, in the ordinary moments of life — disguised as empowerment, as freedom, as modernity.

And through all of this, a false paradise is promised: a world of artificial peace, artificial joy, artificial freedom. A world where conformity is salvation, where the system is the savior, where good is inverted into evil and evil is crowned as good. A world that offers comfort at the cost of the soul and the spirit.

My dear sisters and brothers, I write to you not to spread fear but to awaken courage — the deep, resilient courage that lives within every human heart. I write to remind you that even now, even here, the Divine breath still moves through us, calling us to Truth, to Virtues, to Unity, to Love. We were not created to bow to illusions. We were not born to be silent in the face of injustice, nor blind in the presence of deceit.

This is a moment to stand together. To reach for what is real. To protect what is sacred. To rebuild trust, family, community, and faith. To choose Light even when darkness would seem invincible. To keep our hearts open, soft, and alive, even when the world tries to harden them.

I ask you — with Love, with Faith, with Hope — to stay awake. To guard your soul, your spirit. To speak the True Truth. To walk with Integrity. To remember the Divine, who does not abandon those who seek with Sincerity.

Stand firm, my dear sisters and brothers. Do not let the world steal what was placed in you from the beginning. Let your spirit and your soul shine with a Light strong enough to guide not only yourselves, but all who walk beside you.

With Love and unwavering Hope.

Union of Hearts

 

Dear brothers and sisters,

What we are witnessing today — the planned wars, the planned genocides, the viral spread of hatred and destruction — from Sudan to Palestine and beyond, is something dreadful, diabolical. It is the reflection of humanity when it forgets its divine origin, when love is replaced by greed, hatred, and vice.

We do reject all forms of hatred, war, and violence. We do reject destruction, corruption, pollution, the poisoning of body, soul and spirit, false peace, and every illusion that distances us from Truth. We are — and must remember ourselves to be — a Union of hearts, all contained within the One, all interconnected as if we were a single Being of Pure Peace, Pure Love, Pure Justice, Pure Righteousness, Pure Truth, Pure Freedom, and Pure Virtue.

We are the radiant reflection of our Creator, and to Him we aspire. We are here not by chance but by mission — to serve, to heal, to uplift, and to love.

In fact, Plato once wrote in The Republic that the true ruler must be a philosopher, a lover of wisdom, one who governs not for money, fame, or power, but in humble service to the whole, as our Creator teaches us. The ruler should be the servant of all, not the master. Yet today, too often, we see the opposite: leaders guided by the shadows of greed, ambition, and pride. They build empires of suffering upon the ruins of innocence. This is not the expression of the Creator. This is the echo of the fallen self, the triumph of the “I” over the “We.”

Let us, then, seek a new way — not of dominion, but of communion. Let us return to the heart, to the awareness that each of us is a spark of the Divine Light, a note in the eternal melody of Creation. When hearts unite, when souls merge in Harmony, they form the sweetest of songs — the Song of Heaven, where individuality does not vanish but is fulfilled in Love’s perfect unity.

Let us speak less of “I” and more of “We.” Let our hearts, minds and actions become instruments of Light. Let compassion become our language, justice our song, and peace our shared destiny.

So, when the hearts of humanity beat together, they become one great Heart — the Heart of God — pulsating through the universe, restoring balance, and guiding us home to the Source from which we all came.

We are One. We are Love. We are a Union of Hearts.

(30/10/2025)

In search of a glimpse of Peace

Human beings have reached stunning levels of progress in science, technology, and material comfort. However, when we look at the world, we still see wars, genocides, hatred, and greed. It seems that this humanity has not yet understood one of the most basic truths: each human life is sacred, unique, and irreplaceable. To kill a brother or a sister for land, power, money, or ideology is to deny the deeper reality of existence, that is to say that behind every body, there is a soul and a spirit with a Divine Purpose.

Moreover, too often, we measure success by wealth, status, and possessions, although we do not understand that all of these vanish in time. What remains is what we become through Love, Humility, Virtue, and Courage. In fact, our Earth is a hard school, a testing ground for our souls and spirits. Here, through difficulties and struggles, we are meant to grow, to refine our souls and spirits, and to prepare for higher realities. Without challenges, Virtues cannot bloom, without suffering, Joy loses its depth and without obstacles, there is no true progress of the soul and the spirit. This humankind, obscured and blinded by materialism, often forgets this. We build towers of wealth and weapons of destruction, but we neglect the invisible architecture of what there is inside of us. We strive to conquer planets and invent machines that mimic human thought, but we fail to annihilate our hatred, greed, envy, and other sins. What use is progress if it leads to self-destruction?

After all, when we look at the conflicts around us — in Palestine, in Syria, in Sudan, in Ukraine, among the Rohingya, and in many other places — we see how far our humanity still is from understanding the sacredness of life. Each life lost is not only a tragedy for the families left behind, but also a stolen opportunity for that soul-spirit to live, learn, and rise. In fact, wars destroy more than buildings, destroy the lessons and the experiences meant to elevate us. Besides, genocides and mass killings strip humanity of its dignity, are wounds in the spiritual history of mankind, wounds that cannot be healed by time alone but by remembrance, repentance, and transformation.

Nevertheless, history itself is a heavy witness. We cannot forget the Holocaust, where millions of Jews, along with Roma, disabled people, and others, were exterminated in a mechanised system of hatred. It was not only a crime against a people, but a crime against humankind’s spirit. We cannot forget Rwanda, where neighbor turned against neighbor in a frenzy of violence, revealing how fragile human bonds can become when poisoned by propaganda and fear. We cannot forget Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, where intellectuals, teachers, and ordinary people were massacred in the name of a twisted ideology. We cannot forget Srebrenica, where thousands of Muslim men and boys were executed right before the eyes of the international community. We cannot forget the persecution of the Cristeros in Mexico, where faith itself became the target of violence, and believers were slain for holding to their convictions. Each of these horrors and countless others, which I am sorry to have left unmentioned, stands as a reminder of what happens when hatred, fear, and materialism overcome the light of the spirit. They are warnings written in blood across history’s pages, urging us to never repeat them. Yet still, in our present era, echoes of these same tragedies ring out, showing us how easily humanity falls back into darkness.

Furthermore, living on Earth is not a coincidence, but a sacred chance to prove ourselves worthy of the Kingdom of Love and Peace. If we were suddenly placed in a realm of pure Light, we would not know how to connect our spirits to such high vibrations. After all, we are here to learn, to align ourselves with the frequency of Heaven, and trials are not punishments but opportunities to grow. The evil forces of hatred, greed, and despair are real, as they thrive in wars, genocides, corruption, and injustice. But against them stand the powers of Love, Truth, and Righteousness. Every time we forgive, defend the weak, care for the Earth, and act with kindness, we rise closer to Heaven. Spiritual growth is not achieved in one leap, but in daily practice: prayer, meditation, self-reflection, and service. It is the slow, steady work of cleansing ourselves of ego and selfishness, and attuning ourselves to the eternal Light.

Moreover, True Happiness is not in money or power, but harmony between body, soul, and spirit. In higher dimensions, there is no room for selfishness or cruelty. So here, in this earthly life, we must learn to cleanse ourselves of these poisons. Virtues are the keys that open higher doors: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience, humility, forgiveness. Each of these is like a note in a higher symphony, since, together, they allow our spirits to vibrate in tune with Heaven. Every small act — a word of Truth, a gesture of Compassion, a sacrifice for Justice — brings us closer to that Eternal Harmony. As a matter of fact, it is in choosing Virtues that we resist the dark currents that seek to drag souls and spirits down into despair.

Thus, the global turmoils of our age are not only tragedies but also signs — birth pains of a New Era of Peace that prophets, philosophers, and poets have long spoken about. The darkness we see now seem to become stronger, but it cannot last forever. Humanity is being called to awaken, to rise, to remember who we truly are: not just bodies, but eternal souls and spirits on a elevating and illuminating journey. Sacred texts speak of an Age of Love, Justice, Peace, Wisdom, and Fairness where nations will not learn war anymore. After all, philosophers have dreamt of a Universal Brotherhood and mystics have seen visions of a world transfigured by Light. Could it be that these dreams are not illusions, but prophecies waiting to be fulfilled? The violence, the wars, the genocides are like storms before the dawn, reminding us of the urgent need to change, to evolve, to align ourselves with Love.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, time is short, and the choice is urgent. Will we remain blind in materialism, or will we embrace the higher path of Love, Peace, and Unity? The answer will shape not only our future, but the destiny of our souls and our spirits. Life passes swiftly and each moment is a chance to grow, to rise, to shine with the Light given to us by our Creator. Beloved brothers and sisters, let us not waste this chance. Let us awaken, rise, and walk the path of Light. Together, we can resist and fight against darkness, transform our world, and prepare for the eternal Kingdom where Love and Peace reign eternally. The time is now. The choice is ours.

The False Lights and the True Flame

We often chase the false lights of this world, mistaking them for lasting joys. We convince ourselves that pleasure lies in temporary thrills, in fleeting distractions, in substances and addictions that promise freedom but leave us enslaved. The parties, the excess, the various bad habits and sins—all of it seems to fill us for a moment, but soon we are left with a strange emptiness, an inner silence so vast it feels cosmic. This emptiness whispers the Truth: we are not made for temporary lights, but for an eternal Flame.

That Flame is True, Unconditional Love. Not the distorted love that flatters our ego or demands something in return, but the Love that flows from our Uncreated Creator, who planted within us the seed of Virtue, Dignity, and eternal Purpose. When we align our actions with this Love, when we live as vessels of it, we discover a Joy deeper than any fleeting pleasure. It is a joy that does not vanish when the night ends or the music stops. It is a joy that tastes of eternity.

We experience it when we lift a hand to help someone in need, when we speak truth against injustice despite the cost, when we use our talents not to glorify ourselves but to build and heal. We feel it when we forgive those who wounded us, when we choose patience instead of anger, when we stand firm for what is right even if it means standing alone. We feel it in acts of mercy, in moments of humility, in sacrifices made silently but shining brightly in the unseen order of the universe. Each of these actions carries within it the resonance of Paradise, as if for a brief instant Heaven touches Earth.

Furthermore, the human heart has always sought the Truth. Yet we often stumble because our eyes are distracted by illusions—illusions that promise joy but conceal decay. The Uncreated Creator, who is Harmony, Peace, and Life itself, calls us not with false seduction but with Clarity. The adversary of good, however, cloaks destruction in sweetness, offering gifts that seem harmless or even desirable but that, in time, reveal themselves enslaving and destructive. The good bears fruits of goodness, returning love for Love. The false light bears only darkness, no matter how dazzling it first appears.

Moreover, the entire cosmos moves under the law of cause and effect. Every action, whether born of love or malice/hatred, ripples into the fabric of existence, creating harmony or chaos. To sow good is to invite Balance, to nurture Order, to become an instrument of Peace. To sow evil is to unleash disorder, to fracture what was meant for unity, to perpetuate suffering. Yet there is a remedy: Love. Love alone has the power to sever the chain of consequences that binds humanity to despair. Love alone restores what hatred has broken. Love alone lifts us beyond ourselves, reconnecting us to our true origin and destiny.

Therefore, the false lights will continue to beckon, dazzling and deceptive, although these will soon fade. However, those who choose to follow the True Flame, who seek the Joy born of Virtue, Compassion, and the Fulfillment of their unique mission, will know what it means to live fully. For in every act of genuine Love, no matter how small, we taste Eternity—and we remember that we were never made for emptiness, but for the boundless radiance of the Unconditional.

The light beyond the mirror

We often look into the mirror and search for beauty in our skin, in the color of our eyes, in the shape of our face, in the shine of our hair. We also look at others and admire their bodies, their elegance, their glow. But how often do we stop and wonder what our and others' souls look like? What our and others' spirits look like? We know how to describe the surface, but can we describe the deep essence?

What if we closed our eyes to the mirror, just for a while, and tried to imagine the light within us? What color is our soul? Is it soft and clear like a quiet morning sky? Or does it feel heavy and clouded by fears, sins, bad habits or hatred? What about our spirit? Does it burn with Courage and Love? Or is its flame weak, almost hidden by the noise and shadows of this darkened world?

We care so much for our body, often obsessively. We feed it, clean it, dress it well, exercise it to stay strong. And that is good, provided it's moderate. After all, the body is not the enemy. The body is a beautiful and fragile vessel that holds something even more precious: our soul and our spirit, like colourful and fragrant flowers. However, while we try so hard to care for our body, we often forget to take care of what lives inside it.

We should ask ourselves: what kind of soul lives in me? Is it gentle, sensitive, brave, and/or honest? Do I try to keep it bright, or have I let it become stained by envy, anger, or selfishness? And my spirit—how does it shine? Is it still shining? Or has it been dimmed by negative vibes, by vice, by the weight of our wrong and harmful choices?

It is not enough to live on the surface. We are not just bodies. We are light, and depth, and marvellous mystery. We are made for more than appearances. We are meant to rise, to heal, to become. So why do we not work as hard to cleanse and elevate our soul and spirit as we do to shape and strengthen our body? Why do we accept to live in a world that blinds us with materialism, dulling and noise, where only what we can touch or see seems real, while the most important part of us remains ignored, forgotten, or misunderstood?

Let us not condemn the body, since it is sacred too. But let us condemn the chains of vice, addiction, pride, and lies that trap us in darkness. Let us not worship appearance while our soul grows tired and our spirit silent. Instead, let us purify the light within. Let us wash our hearts from hatred, cleanse our souls from despair, and lift our spirits toward Love, toward Truth, toward Purpose.

Each of us is special, and more powerful than we know. We are not here only to consume or to impress. We are here to give, to grow, to shine. We have missions, general and individual. We have gifts that can change lives, bring Hope, build Beauty. But first, we must dare to see ourselves not only as bodies, but as eternal heavenly beings. We must believe in the invisible to our human eyes and reach for the Eternal. We must go beyond the earthly mirror.

This world needs more Light. It can start with the Light we choose to awaken within ourselves and others. 

The role of technology in a Heavenly Kingdom

In a world that seems to be racing toward endless progress, we often find ourselves idolising technology and modernism, believing they hold the key to our happiness. However, without a solid moral foundation and a heart anchored in Goodness, even the most brilliant inventions can turn into tools of harm. Progress without purpose can be as fragile as glass—beautiful to behold but shattering with the slightest impact.

Some folks think that any technological advancement is at odds with God or the sacred. But this perspective misses a crucial point: the Divine isn’t against technology itself; it’s about how we choose to use it. When innovation is embraced with Love, guided by Peace, and rooted in Faith in something greater than ourselves, it turns into something beautiful. It resonates with the wisdom of those who envision worlds beyond our own—places where civilisations exist in perfect Harmony, where technology uplifts rather than tears down, and where spiritual values flow through every device and dream.

Imagine realms where plants and animals flourish in eternal beauty, where the air is clean, and every heart finds Peace. In such a world, technology doesn’t pollute, divide or destroy; it nurtures and connects. It helps souls and spirits thrive, strengthens communities, and inspires gratitude for the Creator’s gift of life.

However, here on Earth, so many are treading a darker path. Those in power, lured by self-interest, twist technology into instruments of destruction—nuclear weapons, invasive surveillance, addictive screens—all disguised as progress but rooted in fear, greed, and control. Once unleashed, these technologies often spiral out of control, harming the very lives they were meant to enhance. In their hands, progress becomes a harmful journey.

But does it have to be this way? If our hearts are filled with Goodness and we strive for Divine Virtues—Love, Peace, Compassion, Kindness, Humility, Fairness etc—then technology can simply be another way to express these Truths. In that Light, it’s not a barrier but a bridge, a pathway to deeper understanding, community, and service.

Moreover, there are still those who find Joy in the simpler rhythms of life. They wander barefoot through fields free from power lines, inhale the fresh air, and soak in the sweet sounds of birds singing. They live in a Paradise reminiscent of days gone by, a sort of Golden Age, satisfied with a life that requires little intervention. Their existence serves as a reminder that technology should never overshadow our roots: our bond with nature, with the Divine, and with each other.

In reality, neither a fear of technology nor a blind acceptance of every new gadget is the solution. What we truly need is discernment. Let our innovations be guided by our highest ideals rather than our evil purposes. May every advancement resonate with Compassion, Love, and Peace.

When progress is aligned with a Holy Purpose, it becomes a True Gift. When technology is called to uphold Divine Values, it turns—not into an obstacle—but into a pathway that leads us toward a world that is more beautiful, more just, and filled with Light.

VIEWS ON HUMAN PASSIONS IN GRECO-ROMAN PHILOSOPHY

 

In every culture and philosophy, there seems to be a common agreement, that is to say that virtues are to be pursued and vices avoided. The former, like courage, compassion, temperance, and wisdom, are celebrated as ideals that elevate the human soul and spirit. On the other hand, the latter, such as greed, envy, wrath, and sloth, are seen as moral failings that corrupt our character, our spiritual parts and our relationships with others. This double classification often gives us a clear direction in life—to strive for the good and renounce the bad. However, what about our passions? Where do they fit in this moral framework?

Passions are intense emotions or drives that move us deeply. They can be joyful or sorrowful, uplifting or destructive. Unlike virtues and vices, which are more moral categories, passions are psychological and emotional forces that may affect our actions. The question then arises as to whether negative passions, like anger, fear, sorrow etc, are inherently dangerous and whether we should aim to weed them out, simply control them, or find a balance, a middle way.

Consider anger, for example. Left unchecked, it may lead to violence, hatred, and division. But when tempered and guided by reason, anger may serve a moral purpose. A parent who feels righteous anger may discipline their child not out of malice but out of love and a desire to teach right from wrong. Similarly, societal outrage against injustice has often been the spark for reform and progress. Thus, even a passion as volatile as anger, when balanced and rightly directed, may be a force for good.

This idea reflects the ancient philosophical concept of the "golden mean" (aurea mediocritas), particularly emphasised in Aristotle’s ethics. According to the Greek philosopher, virtue lies in the balance between extremes. Courage, for instance, is the balance between cowardice and recklessness. Likewise, managing passions involves neither suppressing them completely nor indulging in them recklessly, but finding the right measure in each context. Passions may not be enemies of virtue, but allies if understood and harnessed wisely.

However, not all philosophers agreed. The Stoics, for example, tended to believe in a more radical approach to the passions. For most of them, passions (pathê) were irrational and harmful, stemming from false judgments and mistaken values. They advocated for apathéia (from the Ancient Greek a-, "without," and pathos, "passion"), a state not of apathy in the modern sense, but of equanimity and freedom from disturbance. The sage, in Stoic philosophy, is one who has eradicated irrational emotions and lives according to reason alone. In this view, passions are not to be balanced but overcome entirely.

According to Chrysippus, a thinker pf the Early Stoa, the passions are evaluative errors, wrong opinions about what is good or bad. For instance, fear is an irrational aversion to something anticipated as harmful, while lust is an irrational desire for something mistakenly seen as good. These passions disrupt the harmony of the soul and cloud judgment. The Stoic concept, therefore, is not to feel less, but to feel rightly: not to be cold or unfeeling, but to experience eupatheia (from the Ancient Greek eu-, "good/well"), the rational, measured emotions such as joy (chara), wish (boulesis), and caution (eulabeia). These are lucid emotional states appropriate to the wise person who sees the world rightly.

Moreover, Seneca, a Roman Stoic, strongly argued that dangerous passions, like anger and hatred, should not simply be moderated, but extinguished. To those who claimed that courage required anger, he responded that reason alone is sufficient to motivate moral action, and that once reason is touched by passion, it loses its clarity. Philosophy, in this view, is medicine for our soul, teaching us to distinguish good from evil and to preserve inner peace.

Yet even within ancient thought, there were alternative views. Plutarch, though admiring Stoicism, believed that all passions could carry something useful. Like music, he argued, where harmony comes from a balanced mixture of high and low tones, the soul too may achieve virtue through the right combination and calibration of passions. Anger, if properly measured, may assist courage, and hatred of evil may fuel justice. The key lies not in the eradication of emotion, but in its attunement.

The Epicureans, meanwhile, pursued a different path toward tranquility. Their concept of ataraxia refers to a state of serene calm, achieved not through suppressing all emotions, but by avoiding pain and fear, especially those arising from unnecessary desires and the turmoil of public life. For them, peace comes through simple pleasures and rational detachment from vain ambitions.

Therefore, it is evident that there is a range of philosophical attitudes: Aristotle's golden mean, the Stoic's apatheia, Plutarch's harmony, and Epicurean ataraxia. Each of them offers insight into how passions might be understood, cultivated, or transcended.

However, considering the spiritual dimension, one might ask whether Celestial Beings, who are often described as pure and radiant, experience these "negative" passions. In fact, as noted by those who claim to have encountered such Beings, it would seem that even these Spirits are not untouched by sorrow or concern. When these Celestial Beings are called to the mission of saving more and more human souls and observe the state of the world—our violence, greed, destruction, sins, nuclear weapons, pollution and so on—they are often described as sorrowful, disappointed, even upset. Their sorrow is not like human despair, though; it is a sadness born of Love, a deep longing for Harmony, Peace and Goodness.

Even the image of God, in various Scriptures, includes moments of righteous anger and divine sorrow. God is often depicted as a loving Parent who disciplines His children not out of cruelty but out of care and moral responsibility. Just as a good father might be angered by a child's misbehavior because he wants the best for them, the divine anger portrayed in religious texts can be understood as an expression of Justice and deep Concern.

This could suggest that being exposed to the human world, with all its imperfections and moral struggles, even Celestial Beings may begin to experience the dualities of our dimension. Their emotions, however, are not rooted in ego or desire but in Selfless Love and Divine Wisdom. It is a reflection of the Truth that emotion itself is not inherently flawed; it becomes distorted only when it is detached from Love, Reason, and Balance.

Yet, in the Heavenly Realms, in Paradise, where all things are in perfect Harmony, these "negative" passions seem to dissolve. In their place reign Joy, Peace, Gratitude, Love, Justice and Bliss—eternal and unshakable. These are the emotions that elevate the soul and the spirit and align them with the Divine Frequency. There, anger is no longer needed because Justice is fulfilled; sorrow vanishes because there is no more suffering; fear disappears because there is no danger. The higher emotions remain, when we have fulfilled our noble purposes, raising our frequencies and continually elevating our spiritual essence.

To conclude, passions are powerful forces in the human experience. While they can lead us astray, they can also guide us toward Truth and Virtue when rightly understood and moderated. Whether through the Stoic's rational mastery, the Aristotelian balance, and/or the spiritual transformation of the soul and of the spirit, humanity is called to integrate its emotional life wisely. Even Celestial Spirits, when they look upon and/or take part in our world, are moved by emotion—not because they are weak, but because they care, they love unconditionally and purely. They would love to save more and more human souls-spirits. So, one day, as we grow in Wisdom and Virtue, we too may ascend to a realm where Love reigns supreme, and all passions are transfigured into Eternal Light.

Leaders and their choice between Light and darkness

Throughout history, people have often faced times of confusion, lies, and crisis. In these moments, good government becomes not just a sort of ideal but something we urgently need. Ancient philosophers and poets like Plato, Solon, and Theognis gave us wisdom that still makes sense today. Even though they wrote long ago, their words help us understand what makes a government just or unjust, especially now when Truth is often twisted, fear is used to control, and technology can dominate instead of help.

In The Republic (Book 6), Plato explains that only true philosophers should rule. He says philosophers are those who understand what is always true and unchanging. They love Truth and hate lies. "The true lover of knowledge must, from childhood, desire Truth above all things." Plato says that only these kinds of people can create fair and good laws. But if leaders are blind to the Truth, if they only chase power and lies, they can never guide a country in the right way. Today, we see a world where many leaders are more interested in money, control, or popularity than in Truth or Justice. Plato's warning seems very real in our time.

Plato also says that these philosopher-rulers should not care much for physical pleasures. Instead, they should care about the soul and about learning. He believes that unless philosophers become rulers, or rulers become philosophers, our world will never be free from problems: "Until philosophers rule as kings... cities will have no rest from evils." This idea fits today, where many in power seem to care more about fame or supremacy than about deep Wisdom.

In another work, Laws (Book 1), Plato says the greatest good is wisdom, and that others which are materialistic, such as wealth, are less important. "He who has the divine has the human added to him; but he who has lost the greater is deprived of both." Morevoer, a wise and fair leader must put Truth, Courage, and Justice first. If not, the laws and the people will suffer. In today's world, we often see the opposite: those with power focus on money or control, and forget higher values.

Besides, In Laws (Book 10), Plato tells us that the Ruler of the Universe has arranged everything to ensure the preservation and perfection of the whole. Every part has a specific role and state of action or experience, and even the smallest action is governed by a guiding principle. Each part of the Universe, no matter how small, exists for the benefit of the entire system. It is emphasised that creations are made for the good of the whole, not for the benefit of any single part. Just as a doctor or an artist works for the good of the whole body or work, each element functions for the common good. Therefore, what is best for one part is also, within the laws of creation, best for the entire Universe. This reminds us that good leaders must think of the common good, not just of themselves or their group. When selfishness rules, society falls apart. Today, when many governments focus on winning or staying in power rather than serving everyone, Plato's words ring true.

Furthermore, the poet Theognis also gives wise advice. In his verses (27-38), he urges his friend Cyrnus to be wise, not to seek glory, honours, or wealth through shameful and unjust actions, to stay close to good people and to avoid the wicked: "If you mix with the bad, you will lose the mind you already have." In our time, where the lines between good and bad are often unclear, and where lies are common, this warning is crucial. Being close to dishonest people can destroy us.

To say nothing of Solon, the famous lawgiver of Athens, gives a strong warning in Fragment 4. He says that bad leadership destroys a city from the inside. He blames greedy leaders who do not know when to stop or how to share fairly. He writes: "The leaders of the people think unjustly... and this causes great pain." Solon describes how injustice spreads like a fire or a disease, touching every home and every person, even those who try to hide. His words remind us of how modern problems, like inequality and corruption, affect all levels of society. "Even if a man should flee into the corner of his inner chamber, it finds him."

However, Solon also praises good government. He says it brings Peace, Fairness, and Balance: "Sound governance shows everything orderly and suitable... straightens crooked judgments, makes prideful deeds, to be mild, arrests the works of dissension, stops the bile of torturous strife, and so it is that through it everything concerning humans is made wise and harmonious." A just system brings harmony, controls greed, and fixes unfairness. These ideas are still true. When laws are fair, people trust each other more. When leaders are honest, people feel safe. But when lies and selfishness take over, trouble grows quickly.

Therefore, taken together, Plato, Theognis, and Solon show us what good and bad government looks like. Together, these voices from antiquity create a composite image of just and unjust governance. The good state is one where leaders are philosophers, guided by Wisdom and an Incorruptible Love of Truth. It is a place where Justice is not merely a legal system but a harmony of soul and society. The bad state, by contrast, is one where leaders are blind, self-serving, or worse, consciously deceiving. It is marked by fear, manipulation, planned wars, planned catastrophes, and an absence of Virtues. Such a state breeds inequality, spiritual degradation, and, as Solon saw, ultimately its own ruin.

Today, as technology expands its grasp over our bodies and thoughts, and as division and fear are amplified for political convenience, we had better remember these ancient guides. Their words caution against the path of tyranny masquerading as progress, of surveillance dressed as safety, and of governance devoid of soul. Perhaps, as Plato suggested, the wise may yet find shelter, waiting for the storm to pass, content only to live rightly in a world gone astray. But even they, as Theognis advised, must cleave to the Good, lest the corruption outside seep silently within.

In this reflective mirror of governance, what we see depends on what we seek: illusion or Truth, tyranny or Wisdom, ruin or Justice.

Vessel of Inestimable Treasures

 

Oh my Marvellous God, You have desired that I strip myself of all that is superfluous. I am human, clothed in this form upon this Earth... Little by little, I free myself from those burdens that bring inconsistent joy, to fully embrace Your True Joy—loving You, serving You, doing Your Will, now and always.

Like a vessel completely emptied of all that belongs to this earthly experience—materialism, fleeting pleasures, and even what we cherish, such as study, work, pastimes, etc.—ready to be filled with what is worthy of Heaven, of Your Eternal Dwelling.

My thoughts soar toward You, in the Hope that I may one day bring this vessel filled with what pleases You.

(11/06/25. 22:25–30)

 

The Cosmic Eden we cannot enter

The Love which moves the Sun and the other stars” (Dante - Paradiso, XXXIII)

Humanity is confined here, on this Earth. Despite our dreams of reaching the stars and other dimensions, of stepping on distant worlds and becoming a cosmic species, we remain trapped on this small blue planet, not by technology, but by our own hearts. The Earth is not our prison, but our mirror. As long as we still bring war to our neighbors, we are not ready to go beyond. If we cannot love those close to us, how could we be entrusted with contact with other civilizations, that is to say those living in Peace, far ahead in Spiritual Evolution?

The book Angels in Starships by Giorgio Dibitonto tells us of a journey to a higher world (chapter 15), a planet of Immense Beauty, Harmony, and Peace, inhabited by beings who live in Total Union with nature and with Divine Laws. The description is simple yet breathtaking: a vibrant world with golden light, lush vegetation, joyful animals, and advanced beings who have chosen Love over hatred. Unlike Earth, no cities dominate the land. Instead, people live immersed in nature, in communities that respect life and the will of our Creator.

Reading this chapter, we are faced with a deep question: What would humanity bring to such a world? Would we bring our love, our peace, our wisdom, our knowledge, our culture, or… our pride, our divisions, our wars? The Truth is painful but clear: we are not ready. As the beings in the story say, these advanced civilizations follow the Universal Law of Love. This law is not only spiritual; it is practical. It is the foundation of their technology, their society, their way of life.

And yet, these beings do not reject us. In the amazing gathering described at the end of the chapter, a shining figure—one who many may recognise as Christ in Celestial Form—speaks of Love, Forgiveness, and the Transformation of Earth. He adds: “Soon I will make all things new.” He declares that the time will come when humanity, purified and reborn, that will have pursued the Love Path, will join the Big Universal Family.

But first, we must learn. We must give up hatred and violence. The Earth, as it is now, is a test. It is here that we must prove ourselves capable of choosing Peace. Until then, the other dimensions and stars will remain out of reach. Not because of distance, but because of our choices and their consequences.

This is why, as the Celestial Spirit says, even the Angels stand guard. The Cherubim, the watchers, will not allow us to spread destruction across the Universe. God and His Messengers will not let us colonise, exploit, or corrupt other worlds as we have our own.

Therefore, the final message is clear: the other worlds and stars are not for the evil, the proud, and those who are against Love, but for the virtuous, the humble, the peaceful, those who are full of Love, Lights in a world full of darkness. Only when Earth becomes again a Garden of Eden—not through escape, but through transformation—will humanity be free to travel beyond, welcomed as brothers and sisters among the stars.

Toward True Freedom

In the face of such atrocities, which are still being carried out in various parts of the world, many would be driven by hatred, aggression, and violence when faced with such injustices. However, this would only play into the hands of the forces of evil, which are built on hatred, division, violence, destruction, and so on. They want us divided, blind, and ignorant, as the fault does not lie with populations, rather with those who actively take part in this evil plan!

It would be better to help and to speak out, to act without violence, and who knows, may God intervene in a drastic and decisive way! Then, we must rise above all that dehumanizes us, all that corrodes our souls and spirits. We think we are truly free when we enjoy things that have low vibrations — like vices, sins, harmful addictions, corruption, and so on — but in reality, we are more enslaved than we think.

True Freedom lies in going beyond the veil of Maya — that veil that clouds our senses, our reason, our heart, our soul, and our spirit — and in grasping the True Truth. The more we gain this higher awareness, the closer we come to this Truth, and the more we become truly free. We will be free to love unconditionally, in soul and spirit; we will be free to live beyond time, in Eternal Joy, in Harmony, Righteousness, and Peace. We will be free to access amazing realities that humanity has never known, and we will be free to love all that has been created.

After all, Creation is an act of Love. God is Love, and all His creatures are a reflection and symbol of this love — as is this Earth, which suffers so much because of human wickedness. So who knows how many souls will be able to make this leap, to reach higher levels of knowledge! But as long as human beings make war against their brothers and sisters in other parts of the world, how can we expect to travel beyond space, if humanity itself is a cancer to the Earth,  to its flora and fauna, and to the peoples who suffer from war, poverty, and more?

The invisible war between Light and darkness, Evolutionary and anti-evolutionary forces

Every human being is made of body, soul, and spirit. We are not here on Earth by chance. Each of us has a unique and sacred mission, both personal and collective, that guides us toward spiritual growth. Our time on this planet is a journey of transformation, a passage where we are called to evolve and prepare for higher dimensions after death. Earth is the place where we must grow, learn, and choose. At the center of this journey lies our greatest gift and challenge: free will. We are free to choose between Good and evil, between Light and darkness. Even though we are imperfect, we carry within us the power to rise, to purify ourselves, and to inspire others to do the same. When we live with Love and Virtues, we become like magnets that attract others, helping them awaken and rise with us.

In this path of elevation, there are powerful forces that support us. These are the evolutionary forces, entities of Good that lift us toward our true potential. They include invisible beings of Light such as Angels (whose name in Ancient Greek means messengers), spirit guides, and higher entities who protect and guide individuals, communities, and even nations.  Some of them fight in the skies. Others choose to incarnate on Earth, taking on human form to help humanity from within.These special souls, whether conscious or unconscious of their true origin, are here to awaken others. They are recognised by their deep Wisdom, their strong sense of Justice, inner Peace, and Unconditional Love. They often carry numerous unique talents and a profound calling to help and heal. Alongside them are many human beings who, through will and spiritual discipline, choose to align with the forces of Light and walk the path of spiritual evolution. They seek to raise their vibrations and detach from everything that belongs to the lower nature, to materialism (such as hatred, fear, violence, destruction and vice).

But this journey is not easy. There are also anti-evolutionary forces that seek to stop us. These are dark forces that want to keep us bound to the material world and low vibrations. They feed off fear, sins, chaos, destruction, and selfishness. They push us to forget who we really are and to act in ways that degrade our humanity, sometimes even worse than animals. These entities can be invisible demonic beings, but they may also manifest through certain humans who, knowingly or unknowingly, choose to become their instruments. Some individuals are drawn to these forces and use them to block or harm others, becoming obstacles on the path of Light. These entities work silently, feeding on our weaknesses, encouraging division, hate, addiction, and spiritual blindness.

Yet, even in this struggle, we are never alone. The forces of Good are always present, ready to guide us when we seek them with a sincere heart. Every moment of our life offers us a choice. We can rise or fall, love or hate, evolve or regress. The journey of the spirit is a climb, and every effort we make toward Love, Virtues, and Awareness brings us closer to our true Divine Essence. When we choose the path of Good, we not only transform ourselves but help to awaken others. We become channels of Light in a world that desperately needs it.

This invisible war between Light and darkness is the background of our entire existence. It is not a fantasy, but a spiritual reality. Our mission is to awaken, evolve, and help others do the same. The more we commit to becoming beings of Love and Virtue, the more we bring Light into this world and prepare ourselves for the higher realities that await us beyond this life.

Choosing Love, despite it all

In this world filled with desolation, constant wars, the looming threat of nuclear disaster, growing poverty, and endless rebellions — all signs of the evil that seems to keep dominating this Earth strongly— I often find myself reflecting deeply. I ask myself: why go on in a world like this? Why come to this place at all?

And yet, in this harsh school of life, I’ve tried to do my best. It has been through pain, through negative people, through darkness and destructive experiences, that I’ve learned and grown the most. Suffering has shaped me, like gold tested in fire, slowly refining who I am.

Still, there are moments when I feel like giving up. But then, something stirs within me. I look beyond the negativity, and I see that even through it, I’ve been growing. I turn my gaze toward God and His Celestial Hosts, and I remember that there is a deeper reason for being here. We are not here by accident. We are here to seek the Divine, to build meaningful connections, and to fulfill both individual and collective missions, even when those missions are hard to understand.

And then I remember a powerful truth: every femtosecond, every tiny instant of our lives, is precious. As Seneca once said, time is the most valuable thing we have. Within that fleeting time, I have the freedom to choose. And I do choose Love. I choose to Love freely, to give Love and receive It.

Every soul and spirit I encounter has the potential to become part of my journey, sometimes through pain, but also through joy and connection. Focusing on the positive, I realise that what truly keeps me going is the hope of meeting new, special souls. Even for a moment. Forever. To share a piece of my heart with theirs. To form a bond. To help them. To share my love, my peace, my wisdom and my knowledge. To become, all together, part of a Unique Big Universal Family.

This is what gives meaning to it all.
