Spiritual life is not monotonous; it evolves with time, modifying the inner landscape and the resulting features of the heart. It is enlightening in many respects and it embellishes daily life, insofar as it is actually given the place it deserves. We are not referring here to a fast process simply meant to ease one's conscience, but to a true commitment that puts a being in the most favourable conditions for his development.

"Man lets himself be caught in a spiral of activities, which he often gives priority over what is essential to him, not being really aware of the most important things in his life. Because of that, he must plod along, undergo ordeals, pick himself up and make a fresh start to undergo other ordeals, leading him little by little towards his own reality and helping him to let go of useless aspects. It takes man time to understand where his priorities lie; his natural curiosity unceasingly drives him towards innovation, the pleasure of discoveries and the satisfaction of the senses.

"Thus are human characteristics; exceeding them testifies to a state nearing holiness, which cannot be easily obtained. Work done in our way leads the aspirant to understand the necessity of practice, the cleaning it generates and the assistance it provides on all levels. It is not about repetitive actions leading to nothing verifiable; the results are not measurable objectively, but they reveal themselves in the sincere and persevering seeker who gives priority to his commitment.

"There are choices to be made in life; they are inspired by true motivations. We do not impose anything; we suggest for the good of our brothers who have reached the stage where these choices are to be made.

"May they make them by seizing the opportunities being offered to them! May they all be blessed and helped!"

Yes, there are families of souls; this lineage is the surest, as it determines the plan of reincarnations and their achievements. These notions constitute a mystery to man, sometimes hopelessly searching his human origins for signs likely to inform him about his nature. The major focus should lie elsewhere, but he still has to be aware of it and to consider this aspect of himself as critical for him.

"It is easier to draw up a family tree in this world than to penetrate the mystery of one's ties outside this one, since the human being does not have access to this kind of record. He must be satisfied with what the current incarnation offers him; even if it does not satisfy him, he will have to make do with it.

"The divine laws are inescapable and nobody on this Earth can really look further into their meaning. While being refined spiritually, some light will be cast on his true nature. Knowing that his current incarnation is only one aspect of his life, he will seek to learn more about his true origins. An area of research will open to him: an area of reflection and, above all, a greater motivation to try to improve his current condition, to comply with what he really is.

"Surrender and confidence in what he does under the guidance of a Master will reassure him. These two concepts will take on their full meaning as he progresses in this redeeming process. The aspirant will understand that effort and faith in what we propose to him are determining factors. Our brothers will understand these comments; they will feel concerned, some of them having searched for a long time before reaching us. --Reflections

"May they all be motivated and activate their practice in order to grasp all its benefits."
