The Sacred Nature of the Human Being. Mª Ángeles Carretero Casar

truths of others. Things, circumstances, situations ARE and must be seen and accepted, without frills and not as we want them to be, THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE.

      As we go deeper into ourselves, our true Self emerges bit by bit and helps us to understand and develop our potential; we discover ourselves and start to see that everything that happens to us, whether we like it or not, happens for a reason. This new behavior helps us to observe ourselves and observe without judgement, only by being conscious will we be able to see reality.

      Every step, every lesson helps us to understand that happiness, joy, health, and well-being are powers that are within us and they give us the strength needed to fight and break the chains. We start to become aware that we cling to ideas and concepts that are wrong or obsolete, to absurd attachments that keep us chained to the past and materialism. Life constantly changes and we do too because of our experiences; we move forward and the more we reflect, we observe, go inside of ourselves, and open up new ideas and concepts, the more tolerant and calm we become.

      Seekers of the truth “seek” and do not have any trouble changing their concepts and ideas time and time again; there is no attachment to such ideas and prejudices. Seeking the truth is a way of life, an attitude, a choice, a challenge, a change; it is the understanding of oneself and others to develop empathy, intuition, imagination, creativity… to become happy and love without possessing.

      Discernment is a marvelous quality that allows us to feel our truth and respect the truth of others, it helps us to continue seeking; there are millions of truths, one for every human being, and discernment and every truth takes us to the grand and only real truth: LOVE.

      Every person has the intrinsic right to believe in what they choose to believe, we all have the right to respect and freedom of choice.

      “Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.”

      I. Newton

      Bridges to get to the other side and trying to build, discovering other wonders, creating positive situations in one’s actions and not walls that create borders which don’t allow us to move forward.

      The physical man and the spiritual man are two rivers that meet at the Sea making up the Self, carrying us to our destiny.

      Move forward on your path, your march will allow you to build your route and it will take you where you need to go.

      The warrior’s rest. We all have the right to peace and serenity, to reflect in order to decide and continue moving forward.

      Good Will

      What is good will? But I am always willing to do good, I am always ready to help others, I am very selfless… in reality, am I being sincere and honest with myself?

      Good will is a “positive attitude” towards any situation. As we work on ourselves, we develop good will inside of us and it helps us to go through life and do things better, with enthusiasm and a smile. If we don’t want to do something and we have to do it, we try to do it with enthusiasm, not like it was something we were forced to do. It is a challenge, and at the same time it helps us to know ourselves better and bring out the strength inside of us. It is more gratifying to walk with a smile through life rather than a grim face.

      Good will means making the most of every moment, doing it right, that is to say, doing what we have to do and not what is expected of us, with enthusiasm and without regret. To do this, we need strength, courage, and willpower, and as daily compensation we feel lighter because we unload our baggage; we will feel strong and determined to confront different situations in life every day.

      We tend to confuse good will with submission or feel obligated to do this or that, because of or for others. Good will is a positive attitude and it allows us to move forward, and submission is a negative attitude that suffocates us in the shifting sands of fear.
