Call to awaken

Dear brothers and sisters,

Living on this planet is not a coincidence; it is a great test, a proving ground where our souls and spirits are shaped. Here, we are given the sacred chance to prove ourselves worthy of living eternally in the Kingdom of Love, Peace, Harmony, Justice, and Righteousness. Imagine if our souls and spirits, still young and immature, were suddenly placed in a realm of perfect Peace and Light. We would feel out of place, like fish out of water, unable to breathe in the pure air of such a place, unable to move in its higher currents. To be there, we must first learn to resonate with that frequency.

Earth is the school, the training ground, the forge. Here, we encounter trials, challenges, and difficulties because they refine us. They teach patience, courage, humility, and compassion. We must not see our struggles as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. Without challenge, there is no strength; without sorrow, we cannot truly understand joy.

The forces that oppose spiritual growth are real. They are subtle and persistent, working through despair, hatred, greed, and fear to imprison souls and spirits in lower states of being. These forces thrive in war, injustice, corruption, and moral decay. They exist to keep us distracted from our higher calling. Look at the world around us: endless conflicts, genocides, such as that in Gaza, the destruction of our environment through toxic pollution and exploitation, the looming threat of nuclear devastation, and the moral disintegration of our society. We must never forget the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where in an instant, atomic weapons unleashed destruction beyond imagination, wiping out entire cities and leaving deep scars on humanity’s conscience. Such atrocities must never be repeated. The shadow of nuclear war still hangs over our world, and it is our duty to ensure that such darkness never falls again.

Moreover, political, religious, and educational institutions are often corrupted, no longer serving the Truth but rather power and self-interest, the evil forces. Yet, this is not the whole story. Against these forces stand the luminous powers of Love, Truth, and Righteousness. The angelic forces of evolution are with us when we sincerely walk the path of Light. Their assistance is not always obvious, but it is real. They inspire courage when fear surrounds us, they whisper truth in moments of confusion, and they help us rise when we have fallen.

To reach spiritual elevation, we must consciously choose the Virtues that align us with higher realities: chastity to guard purity, temperance to keep balance, charity to open the heart, diligence to persevere, kindness to heal wounds, patience to endure without bitterness, and humility to remember that we are all parts of the One. Every act of virtue raises our inner frequency. Every time we speak the truth, forgive an enemy, care for the weak, or defend the innocent, we step closer to the gates of Heaven.

However, spiritual elevation is not reached in a single leap; it is the work of a lifetime. It requires daily practice. Meditation, prayer, honest self-reflection, and service to others are essential tools. We must also care for the Earth, as it is both our home and our teacher. The rivers, the forests, the animals, and even the air we breathe remind us that all life is connected. When we harm creation, we harm ourselves.

Furthermore, True Happiness is not found in wealth, status, or power. It is found in the harmony between body, soul, and spirit. When we live in Virtue, we experience Peace within, and this Peace flows outward, touching those around us. In the eternal realm and higher dimensions, there is no room for selfishness, cruelty, or greed; so, we must cleanse ourselves of these here and now. In Heaven, there is abundance for everyone.

Therefore, beloved brothers and sisters, I speak with all the urgency of my heart: Awaken. Rise. Become conscious. Life is the test, and it passes swiftly. Do not let it pass in distraction or numbness. Feel with your heart. See with your soul. Let your spirit shine with the Light that was placed within you by our Uncreated Creator. Together, we can resist and fight against the darkness, transform our world, and prepare ourselves for the eternal Kingdom where Love and Peace reign forever.

The time is now. The choice is yours.

With Love and Truth,

A seeker of Peace

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.

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.

The Sacred Line of Saint Michael the Archangel

Across Europe and the Mediterranean area, there is a mysterious and Sacred Path known as the Sacred Line of Saint Michael the Archangel. This line connects seven ancient sanctuaries dedicated to Saint Michael, the powerful Archangel who, according to the Bible, defeated satan in a great battle in Heaven (Rv 12:7–8).

What makes this line so fascinating is that all seven sanctuaries are perfectly aligned in a straight line. Even more amazingly, this line follows the direction of the sunset on the summer solstice. It is said that this is not just a coincidence, but a sign of Divine Order.

The journey begins in the far west, on the coast of Ireland, at the monastery of Skellig Michael. Built on a rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean, it is a place of deep silence and spiritual power.

The line continues to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, England. Like its twin in France, it rises from the sea and was once a place of pilgrimage for monks and knights.

Next comes the famous Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, one of the most visited sacred places in the world. During low tide, pilgrims can walk to it across the sand, just as they did in the Middle Ages.

The line then crosses into Italy, where it reaches the Sacra di San Michele in Val di Susa, built high on a rocky mountain. This majestic monastery watches over the valley like a spiritual guardian.

Further south, still in Italy, lies the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel in Monte Sant’Angelo, on the Gargano Peninsula. This is one of the oldest places of worship dedicated to Saint Michael, known for its sacred cave where He appeared. This is the Celestial Basilica.

From Italy, the line stretches to Symi Island in Greece, where the Monastery of Panormitis stands. This beautiful white monastery faces the sea and is known for its miracles and devotion to Saint Michael.

Finally, the line ends in the Holy Land, at the Monastery of Stella Maris, on Mount Carmel, near Haifa, Israel. It is a peaceful and powerful place overlooking the Mediterranean.

Many people believe this line marks the path of Saint Michael’s sword, the one he used to cast satan into hell. For centuries, the line was honoured by pilgrims, saints, and the Knights Templar. Medieval Christians believed that walking this path brought them closer to God and protected them from evil.

Even today, the Sacred Line reminds us of the fight between Good and evil, Light and darkness. Saint Michael stands as a Heavenly Protector, ready to help us in times of trouble.

We end with the powerful prayer written by Pope Leo XIII, asking for Saint Michael’s Protection:

Latin:

Sancte Michael Archangele,
defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis,
Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute, in infernum detrude.
Amen.

English:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, thrust into hell
Satan and all evil spirits
who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Let them speak ill, we elevate ourselves in Peace and Love

If the criticism is constructive, I welcome it: it can help me grow. But if it's meant to tear me down, I won't let it harm me. As long as I’m at peace with my conscience, and my choices don’t harm God, creation, others, or even myself, then what should I worry about?

People will always talk, no matter what you do, especially those who carry bitterness or malice in their hearts and in their minds. I pray for them. In my limited and imperfect life experience, I’ve noticed that most of the conflicts or judgment I’ve encountered have come from people in my own area rather than from Asia.

That’s not to say I’m idealising certain countries or imagining a perfect world there. The whole Earth is immersed in growing darkness. Still, I do notice a difference—perhaps in proportion, or perhaps because I’ve been blessed to meet kind and marvellous friends from various Asian countries.

From my flawed, earthly perspective, I’ve observed that many of my Asian friends, and other people from that part of the world, show a deep respect—for others, for life, for values. I sense their positive energy, their empathy, introspection, and emotional sensitivity. Many are weighed down by challenges of their own, and I pray for them too.

Sometimes, I sense that some of them may feel undervalued by others from the Western world. But I want to say this: every soul is unique and precious. No one should feel inferior. These people carry a rich heritage, a beautiful culture, and powerful inner qualities. If they channel these strengths into building a world rooted in Love, Peace, Justice, and Righteousness, they will shine eternally in the New Era of Peace (The Golden Age).

It's written:

“God has shown the strength of His arm;

He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones,

and lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and sent the rich away empty.”

So to all my dear friends (especially the New Gentiles of Asia, who carry within them a deep spiritual elegance, quiet strength, and ancient wisdom) I say this: keep walking the path of Goodness. Not just in prayer, although prayer is powerful. But even more in action, in kindness offered with no reward, in virtues lived out day by day.

Share not only your resources, but your time, your presence, your compassion. Call a friend who’s struggling. Listen without judgment. Help someone find hope. Show patience when it’s hardest. Offer a warm smile to someone who feels invisible. Be honest, even when it costs you something. Defend what is right, even if your voice trembles. These are not small things, hey are seeds of Light.

As you begin to radiate these positive vibrations, you also begin to attract them (Law of Cause and Effect). And step by step, person by person, we become part of something far greater than ourselves: the building of a New World, a Kingdom of Love, Peace, Justice, and Truth.

And one day, when the veil is lifted, the reward will be beyond anything the human heart can fully imagine. Those who have loved deeply, unconditionally, who have served silently, who have sown good in hidden ways, these will shine like stars.

Because God sees all.

So do not grow weary. You are not alone. The good you do matters. And the Light you carry within you is stronger than the darkness outside.

Unmasking evil and walking toward the Light

In our journey through life, we often see only the surface of things. However each human soul is called to look deeper. Behind every thought, word, and event, there is a hidden spiritual dimension. Our task is to learn how to unmask the evil that hides beneath appearances and to seek always what is true, good, and aligned with Divine Will, the Virtuous Path. This requires discipline, deep self-examination, and a firm desire to grow in holiness.

To unmask evil means to test every thought and action to see whether it comes from God or not. This is not easy. Evil often disguises itself as something harmless or even good. It may appear in the form of pride dressed as self-confidence, laziness disguised as serenity, or envy hidden under the name of justice. The devil does not always use violence or clear hatred; he often uses confusion, distraction, and lies. He attacks our minds with doubts and our hearts with temptations. That is why we must look into ourselves deeply and wisely. We must not let any thought or feeling pass without being tested. Is this idea leading me closer to God or away from Him? Does this action reflect God or the darkened world?

This work of constant examination is not to become proud or to think we can be like God, but to belong more fully to Him. We are not trying to replace Him but to reflect His Light. As human souls, we are called to strive for spiritual purity—not perfection in the worldly sense, but a heart that truly seeks God above all. We must learn to deny ourselves when our desires lead us away from holiness, and instead choose what is right, even when it is painful. This inner battle, this intransigence with ourselves, is how we polish our soul and our spirit to become more transparent on Heaven.

Besides, Saint Paul writes that our real enemies are not people of flesh and blood, but “the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). These demonic forces attack us physically, psychologically, and spiritually. They sow division in families, promote addiction and despair, and whisper lies into our hearts that we are worthless, alone, or beyond forgiveness. They want to block our spiritual evolution and keep us far from the Virtuous Path to Heaven. But we are not defenseless.

Saint Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God. This armor is spiritual and powerful. Truth is our belt—it keeps us upright. Justice is our breastplate—it protects our heart. The Gospel of Peace is our foundation—it guides our steps. Faith is our shield—it protects us from doubt and temptation. Salvation is our helmet—it guards our mind. And the Word of God is our sword—it fights lies with Divine Truth. Prayer is what keeps all this armor strong. We must pray at all times, not only for ourselves, but for all humans.

Therefore, Satan and his demonic forces do not simply seek to cause discomfort or temporary hardship; their true mission is total destruction—physical, psychological, and spiritual. These entities operate with subtlety and intelligence, often hiding behind what appears ordinary, pleasurable, or even harmless. Their ultimate aim is to prevent the soul from reaching union with the Divine, to stop our evolution toward Light, Truth, and Love. They do this by acting on all dimensions of human existence.

Physically, demons rarely intervene in direct, visible ways, but their influence can guide individuals toward choices that damage or destroy the body, which is itself a sacred vessel. They lead people into addictions—alcohol, drugs, excessive consumption of food, and other compulsions—because such behaviors weaken the will and dull the conscience. They encourage forms of extreme hedonism, seducing the body with pleasure to the point where it becomes enslaved to desire and unable to act freely. Sometimes they push toward the opposite extreme: self-neglect, a rejection of self-care that may arise from laziness, burnout, or even the belief that one's body is unworthy of love or attention. Violence is another powerful tool: demons stir up hatred and anger in hearts, which then spill into abuse, war, and cruelty. Domestic violence, murder, and physical conflict often have spiritual roots. Even distraction through constant comfort—passive entertainment, overindulgence in sensuality, or the obsession with superficial appearances—can serve their goals, as it lulls the soul into sleep and inactivity.

Psychologically, demons are especially cunning. The human mind, being the link between soul and body, is a central battlefield. Demonic forces are masters of suggestion. They plant lies in the form of intrusive thoughts: "You are worthless," "You will never change," "There is no hope for you." These thoughts often arrive in moments of fatigue or weakness and, if believed, take root in the heart. They inflate fear and anxiety, exaggerating risks and feeding paranoia, until a person becomes paralyzed and unable to trust life or God. Depression and despair are often exploited and/or caused by demonic presence, as demons capitalise on a person’s wounds, losses, and trauma to whisper: "There is no meaning, no redemption, no way out." They confuse identity, not just in terms of gender or role in society, but in a deeper spiritual sense—twisting one’s perception of self-worth, morality, and purpose. This confusion leaves people lost and vulnerable to manipulation.

Another common tactic is isolation. By sowing seeds of mistrust, suspicion, or even false independence, demons pull individuals away from families, friends, and spiritual communities. Isolation weakens us, because Love and Truth grow in relationship. Pride is often used as a mask: they convince us we don’t need anyone, that we’re better off alone, or that no one understands us. This creates spiritual blindness. Interestingly, demons use both extremes: they may inflate the ego until someone becomes arrogant, or crush it until one is stuck in deep self-hatred. Both are equally destructive. They destabilise the personality and block the person from finding interior peace and harmony.

But the most dangerous level is spiritual destruction, which is the very core of their mission. Here, the attack becomes existential. Demons tempt us to sin repeatedly, knowing that frequent sin dulls the conscience and forms habits. Over time, those habits become vices—chronic patterns that enslave the soul and create distance from the Divine. They use the illusion of harmlessness to justify evil: "It’s not that bad," or "Everyone does it." With time, this leads to spiritual numbness.

Another subtle tactic is spiritual pride. As someone begins to grow or practice their faith, demons may inflate the ego, making them feel superior to others. Instead of deepening in humility, the person begins to worship their own image of virtue. They may speak piously, but act without Love. Apathy and lukewarmness are perhaps the most quiet and effective demonic strategies. Many people do not reject God—they just delay prayer, ignore their conscience, or become too busy with distractions. Time slips away, and the soul slowly drifts into coldness without realizing it.

Doubt in God is often encouraged. Demons twist sacred teachings, suggesting that God is unjust, cruel, or distant. This intellectual confusion weakens faith. In some cases, they direct souls toward spiritual practices that are dangerous—forms of occultism, divination, or “light spirituality” that look harmless but are disconnected from Truth and lead toward false gods or energies. They may even offer a form of "false peace"—a calmness that comes from avoiding Truth and indulging in sin—which deceives the soul into thinking all is well, when in fact, it is asleep and vulnerable.

Finally, when someone begins to truly convert, to walk the Path of Light, that is often when the most brutal attacks come. Exhaustion, temptation, and discouragement increase. The demons know that spiritual rebirth threatens their control, so they try to strike the soul down with thoughts like: "It’s useless," "You haven’t changed," or "You’ll always fall back." They want the soul to give up just before it blossoms.

Yet, despite the depth of their attacks, these forces are not invincible. They are limited, and they flee in the presence of True Light, Love, and Humility. The Divine has given us all the tools to resist them. Recognizing their strategies is the first step in breaking their power. Through constant awareness, prayer, purification, and acts of selfless Love, the soul regains strength. Demons cannot stand in the presence of real holiness. Every small choice for Truth, every act of forgiveness, every effort to rise after falling, weakens their grip and brings the soul closer to its true destiny: union with the Divine.

And what about those who oppose us in the world? We must remember: every human is created by God and is capable of salvation. Even those who hate or hurt us are not our true enemies. We must pray for their conversion, not hate them. We must thank God for them, because they test our love and help us grow in patience and virtue. Every time we suffer for doing good, we are walking in the footsteps of God, and we are earning treasures in Heaven.

There is also a higher solution: the restoration of lost harmony between Heaven and Earth. This harmony—called kosmos in ancient Greek—was part of the original Beauty of Creation. We must return to it by building a relationship between the Celestial and the earthly, between Angels and human beings, between God and His human creatures. This is not imagination. It is possible through Love. Every prayer, every kind action, every small sacrifice filled with Love helps to bring this Harmony back. The more we act with sincere Love, the more we call upon Heaven to help Earth.

So how do we recognise and resist the demonic strategies meant to destroy us?

1. Distraction and noise: Evil uses constant noise—social media, gossip, shallow entertainment—to stop us from thinking deeply. We must create silence in our lives to hear God.

2. Fear and despair: Evil whispers that we are alone or doomed. But hope in God is stronger than any fear.

3. Pride and selfishness: Evil tells us to serve ourselves first. We must learn humility and serve others, as Jesus did.

4. Confusion and Relativism: Evil says there is no truth. We must stand on the Word of God, which is Eternal and Unchanging.

5. Temptation through Pleasure or Pain: Whether through comfort or suffering, the devil tries to weaken our will. We must stay close to God, with prayers, practice of Virtues and good deeds.

To grow spiritually, we must stay close to the Light — that is, to what is True, Good, and Just. This means being honest with ourselves, acknowledging our faults, and working daily to become better. It involves practicing Mindfulness, Compassion, Self-discipline, Altruism, and other Virtues, doing good deeds, staying connected to a community that shares our values, and acting with love toward all beings. Through prayer, meditation, reflection, practice of Virtues, acts of kindness, the more we choose Truth and Love, the less power negativity, hatred, and darkness have over our lives.

In the end, evil may be strong, but God is infinitely stronger. Light always defeats darkness. We are not alone in this fight. Angels fight beside us. Saints pray for us. And Christ walks ahead of us, showing the way. Our task is to keep going, always rising again, always choosing Love, always turning our face toward Heaven.

 

The eternal echo of the Golden Age: From the Kyrgyz epic of Manas to the classical myth

The concept of the Golden Age, a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity, and justice, is a recurring motif in the mythologies of various cultures. It represents an era in which humanity lived in harmony with nature, unburdened by toil, suffering, or social strife. This vision is not confined to a single tradition but is found across civilizations, from the Kyrgyz epic of Manas to the foundational texts of Greco-Roman antiquity. Through these works, we glimpse the human longing for an idyllic past and the persistent hope that such a time might one day return.

The Epic of Manas is one of the longest and most significant oral traditions of the Kyrgyz people. In its verses, the legendary land of Yenisei is depicted as a paradisiac homeland, an embodiment of abundance and fairness: "If we listen to the wise, if we inquire from the old, we hear that in the days long past, in regions lying north and west, there was a place called Yenisei. This land was marvelously wide, its rivers lined by woods and groves, its pastures verdant, meadows lush. All crops yielded abundant grain, with little plowing harvest rich: the granaries full to the brim. The people wandered here and there, they settled down, found their abode; rich and poor, without distinction, had food enough to eat their fill." (135-147). This passage evokes a world where natural abundance eliminates the need for labor, mirroring classical Golden Age myths. The mention of rich and poor living without distinction could suggest an egalitarian society, untouched by greed or social divisions. Such imagery would align with ancient visions of a time when justice was something inherent.

In fact, Hesiod’s Works and Days (8th century BCE) is among the earliest Western sources to articulate the idea of a lost Golden Age. He describes an original race of humans living under the rule of Cronos, free from suffering and hardship (109-126): "First of all the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Cronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. When they died, it was as though they were overcome with sleep, and they had all good things; for the fruitful earth unforced bare them fruit abundantly and without stint. They dwelt in ease and peace upon their lands with many good things, rich in flocks and loved by the blessed gods. But after the earth had covered this generation—they are called pure spirits dwelling on the earth, and are kindly, delivering from harm, and guardians of mortal men; for they roam everywhere over the earth, clothed in mist and keep watch on judgements and cruel deeds, givers of wealth”. This passage bears a striking resemblance to the Manas description of Yenisei. Both accounts emphasise the spontaneous generosity of nature, which sustains humanity without the need for labor. Moreover, the absence of suffering and the peaceful transition from life to death reinforce the idea that the Golden Age was not just a time of material prosperity but also of existential serenity. Yet, Hesiod’s myth introduces a crucial difference: the Golden Age does not last. It is followed by the progressively inferior ages of Silver, Bronze, and finally Iron, marking a decline into corruption, suffering, and strife. This framework presents history as a process of degeneration, a stark contrast to modern notions of progress. It suggests that moral and social decay are inevitable consequences of time, leaving humanity forever yearning for a lost paradise.

Besides, Ovid’s Metamorphoses refines Hesiod’s vision by adding a legal and moral dimension to the Golden Age: "First was the Golden Age. Then rectitude spontaneous in the heart prevailed, and faith. Avengers were not seen, for laws unframed were all unknown and needless. Punishment and fear of penalties existed not. No harsh decrees were fixed on brazen plates. No suppliant multitude the countenance of Justice feared, averting, for they dwelt without a judge in peace. Descended not the steeps, shorn from its height, the lofty pine, cleaving the trackless waves of alien shores, nor distant realms were known to wandering men. The towns were not entrenched for time of war; they had no brazen trumpets, straight, nor horns of curving brass, nor helmets, shields nor swords. There was no thought of martial pomp —secure a happy multitude enjoyed repose” (I, 89-105). According to these lines,  humanity lived virtuously without the need for laws, judges, or punishments, as moral integrity was innate. War and violence were nonexistent—there were no weapons, fortresses, or military ambitions. People did not explore foreign lands or exploit nature, suggesting a self-sufficient and content society. Ovid portrays this era as a utopian contrast to later ages marked by corruption and conflict, criticising human degeneration over time and highlighting the loss of innocence and the rise of greed and warfare. His nostalgic tone reflects the classical ideal of a lost paradise, echoing earlier poets like Hesiod.

However, unlike Hesiod and Ovid, who portray the Golden Age as an irretrievable past, Virgil in his Eclogue IV  envisions the birth of a miraculous child who will bring about the return of Saturn’s reign and the renewal of a utopian world, a sort of New Era of Peace: “Now the last age of the Cumaean prophecy begins: the great roll-call of the centuries is born anew: now Virgin Justice returns, and Saturn’s reign: now a new race descends from the heavens above. Only favour the child who’s born, pure Lucina, under whom the first race of iron shall end, and a golden race rise up throughout the world: now your Apollo reigns" (4-10). This prophecy was interpreted in later Christian tradition as foretelling the coming of Christ: “He will take on divine life, and he will see gods mingled with heroes, and be seen by them, and rule a peaceful world with his father’s powers. And for you, boy, the uncultivated earth will pour out her first little gifts, straggling ivy and cyclamen everywhere and the bean flower with the smiling acanthus. The goats will come home themselves, their udders swollen with milk, and the cattle will have no fear of fierce lions: Your cradle itself will pour out delightful flowers: And the snakes will die, and deceitful poisonous herbs will wither: Assyrian spice plants will spring up everywhere” (15-25). Moreover, Virgil’s prediction would seem to align with eschatological themes found in certain religious traditions, such as Isaiah’s vision of a Messianic Era: "Then the wolf will live alongside the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the young lion will browse together, with a little child to guide them. The cow and the bear will graze side by side; their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat hay like the ox. The infant will play by the cobra’s den, and the young child will lay his hand on the viper’s nest" (Is 11, 6-8). Here, the Golden Age is not a distant memory but a promise of redemption, a restoration of harmony where even natural predators coexist peacefully, offering hope for the future.

Therefore, across cultures and centuries, the myth of the Golden Age has served as both a lament for a lost heaven and an aspiration for a better world. The Manas epic’s depiction of Yenisei, the classical traditions of Hesiod, Ovid, and Virgil, and religious prophecies all share a vision of a time characterised by a marvellous bucolic atmosphere, free from suffering, inequality, and strife. Whether viewed as an actual historical memory, a moral allegory, or a future prophecy, the Golden Age remains one of humanity’s most persistent and powerful myths. As these texts suggest, the Golden Age may not be confined to a single place or time but exists in the collective consciousness as an eternal ideal—one that continues to shape our hopes and dreams for a New World, ushering in a New Era of Peace, Love, Justice, and Righteousness.
