The answer to universal equality

When the soul can see that we are all essentially born for the same destiny, a destiny which is not “eventual” a destiny which is not really “in a long time”, but a destiny which is a hell of a lot sooner than we all think. When the fact of death is in front of our eyes and our senses, when it’s pressing, because others around us are a constant reminder of that death, through their age or their disease, or through their own mortality, this is when a breakthrough is made.

Mortal life is here to remind us that we are not gods. There is no “second chance”. When I am at peace with my mortality, when I see that it is there right in front of my eyes, I become aware.

The awareness is that everytime that I was angry or frustrated in this life, everytime that I worried and thought about where I am and what I’m doing, all of these times of absorbtion in thoughts related to my life, were and are in fact not important.

In life it is important to work and to have a family, it is important to look after yourself and to eat and drink, to grow. However, there is a final result in the end, whatever kind of life is lived.

There is no magic answer to life then in the end. The only resolution that can be made is to be wary of the thoughts and actions that one has and does. The choices in life are then ours and ours alone.

It may not be possible to choose anything you want in life, the way a child picks sweets in a sweet shop. However, like that same child, man has, time and time again decided to dream, decided to create, and in dreaming and in creating and in asking for what he has wanted, many times has succeeded.

The Celestial Sphere is full of destiny, but it is only one destiny that is truly decided, that of mortality. Man has the potential to dream what he wants, to desire what he wants, but it is only if those dreams are truly noble and worthwhile will he have the will and the luck to achieve them.

Therefore we must dream and desire things that are noble, things that are dignified. Dignified and noble things are lasting, they benefit humanity. Dignified and noble things are difficult to achieve, and they take time. These things take will power and they take desire.
