It is my nature, from the cradle, a clear aversion to debates and topics about politics. I am not registered with any party or political party movement nor do I take part in any activity associated with the topic.

Nobody is, in sound mind, in favor of corruption. All governments make mistakes, to varying degrees. Investigations must be conducted, and those proven guilty will have to suffer the penalties established by law, according to clean legal proceedings, taken by the Judicial Branch.

It is important to consider, however, that the national vices in lack of ethics and morality are profound, centuries old and widespread, manifesting themselves in everyday life, since the sly attitude of cheating at school to the shameful “typical Brazilian way” of escaping the rules “to score” at any cost, oftentimes to the detriment of others.

Being the opposition of the federal government or not, it urges that we respect the fundamental democratic principles, above feuds or personal and group opinions, so that evils much more harmful than the ones we intend to eliminate do not come to pass.

On the other hand, there is the collective unconscious phenomenon, which kind of subdivides itself into regions defined by cultural, linguistic and even, in a certain way, geographical boundaries.

Let us remember the cultured and civilized Germany, which let itself to be fascinated by an eloquent and schizoid villain, and that, during World War II, almost led humankind to the Armageddon.

If we want to have a more impartial perspective of what happens politically in Brazil, in such serious and disturbed, historical and deep crisis that we face, let us check the analysis made by respectable organs of international press (see links below), in different countries, more institutionally matured, especially in those where there is impartial and fair journalism, in the mainstream media – the good Brazilian journalists are either hidden from the most influential vehicles of communication in their homeland, or, if inside of them, they lie gagged.

As a citizen – and not exactly as a spiritual leader —, I cannot overlook such a relevant topic, because silencing implies cowardly condoning with the forces of evil that intend to set the country into the path chaos and its harmful implications, with damages of unpredictable dimension and nature for all (!), but always with greater suffering of the the least favored part of the population.

Hypocritical religious people would recommend only silence and prayer, more concerned with their own image than with following their consciences. Well, good prayer leads to action, courageous and open action in the fight for the common good! Believing to have superior virtue and serenity, such pseudo-wise religious people do not know the true JESUS, who, with whip in hand and flaming truths on His tongue, expelled the unscrupulous merchants from the Temple of Jerusalem, the main seat of government in Israel at that time, next to the palaces of Herod and Pontius Pilate!…

There are no sides: there is Brazil and the Brazilian people. However, there is a sinister wave of disaggregation contrary to both, although it disguises itself, as all diabolical geniuses do, under elegant labels of ill-constituted dignity, seducing millions of incautious individuals.

I will not reveal if I express this severe opinion in the name of the Sublime Spirituality. Let us think and act with good sense, discernment and social responsibility, and it will not be difficult to see where the fallacy and the lie are, camouflaged by elaborate speeches, allegedly patriotic and well-intentioned.

The tragicomedy of the fixation on the romantic love — part II

Benjamin Teixeira ,
by the Spirit Eugênia,

Recently, the syndrome of those who “love too much” has been diagnosed, a name I believe to be inappropriate, since it is about, in truth, individuals who love erroneously, and, often, do not even love, just are dependent on the person they think they love, when they are not frankly tyrannical with the object of their pseudo-love, not allowing them, for example, the right not to want them in their intimacy, or to be able to be who they really are.
 
In lasting relationships — specifically conjugal relationships —, it is much more the affinity of values, goals and interpretative paradigms of reality that fuse the couple into a secure web of harmony and integration, capable of withstanding the clashes and challenges external to the (literal or symbolic) marriage. Thus, contrary to the illusions of culture, it is the similarities — and not the differences — that unite the consorts.
 
Overvalued by Hollywood (more recently), by the Romanticism movement (in 19th century world literature), with its genesis probably in the 12th century Troubadourism, the idolatry of the romantic love leads individuals to lose their sense of proportion regarding the multidimensionality of their psyches and to transfer to the expectation of happy erotic relationships several other equally important needs of the soul, as the hunger for spirituality (for God), the search for non-erotic affective bonds (such as friends and family), and the professional and ideal vocations. And the ironic and tragic result of this unfortunate obsession for affectionate sex is that not only does the person becomes frustrated in all the neglected areas of his/her life, because of the object of his/her affective compulsion, but he/she also eliminates the possibilities of achieving success in the conjugal sphere, since it suffocates the partner with a level of demands and pressures, declared or subtle, that end up consuming the relationship.
 
It is also important to consider, so that we may have a happy affective life, that the intimate partner, by the psychological exacerbation of the impulses of possession, desire and power, inextricably involved in the gears of romantic love, works as a kind of psychic mirror, showing both the unresolved, neurotic and malevolent issues, which we do not accept in ourselves, as well as the positive and ideal ones, potentials that appear to us portrayed, in an idyllic way, on the emotional image that we make of our partner. We thus see, next to it, what we are in depth, what we do not wish to be, what we can be, or what we will come to be.
 
In short: Do you want to be happy in your affective life? Be happy alone, first. Do you want to have a healthy romantic relationship? Be psychologically and spiritually mature first. Then, naturally and in every way, you will attract people and situations that are appropriate to your fulfillment, plenitude and bliss.

The tragicomedy of the fixation on the romantic love — part II

To be happy in love

To be happy in love
 
It is much easier to be happy with loves devoid of romantic or sexual involvement, such as friends and family.
 
The pursuit of erotic-marital utopias uselessly consumes whole existences, preventing people from seeing their great affections, very close to them, almost always with ties of entirely fraternal or spiritual character.
 
Even individuals who enjoy relative happiness with a partner, for more intimate intercourse, only achieve this feat, with some stability and duration, when they also see their partner as a friend of the soul, while not losing the touch and the sense of tenderness and responsibility toward other bonds of the heart, detached from carnal ties.

Origin of all evils

Origin of all evils
 
All human dramas and tragedies have the same root: the lack of fraternal sentiment. That is what generates from the horror of the war and terrorism, passing by prejudice and violence against minorities or groups that are different among themselves, to the squabbles of the intimate life. Fraternity is an imperative to human survival on Earth. All religions, philosophies and cultures assert, in their best postulates, the universal axiom.
 
May we live the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood in any circumstances, with biological relatives or friends, with co-workers or acquaintances from physical communities or social networks, and even with strangers, no matter whether or not they share the same identities that define ourselves, be it of nation, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, social, professional or academic class, religion or philosophy of life.

Balance

If you want to prosper materially, do not seek to have too much fortune. The coffer full of money favors a mind swirling with worries and anxieties.

If you aim to ascend into the hierarchy of social prestige, do not focus on standing out too much. Visibility requires psychological tact and spiritual maturity that dismay and tear down less prepared spirits.

If you intend to acquire power, so as to accomplish great things, do not think about power for yourself and about your personal interests. Power is a hideous toxic of the soul, driving it crazy in a short time.

If you have the scope to obtain culture and intelligence, do not look for writings as one who keeps pearls for oneself. The knowledge and the reasoning accumulated with selfishness, in the intention of self-promotion, can only introduce the individual into the frenzy of various obsessions.

If you stare at the vanguard of ideas and values as the goal of your life, be aware of the extravagance in the growth speed and the public exposure of your intimate experiences. Those ahead of his/her time are considered mad, demented or bad character, suffering atrocious pains under the general persecution and scorn, often without even being able to be heard on their efforts to favor collective progress, despite how good the idealist’s intentions may be.

In everything, strive for balance and good sense. There is no point in wanting everything to simply lose everything. It is better to aim for the possible little, and grow slowly, but always, than to focus on the impossible much and be left with nothing but terrible sufferings of conscience.

Do it now what is within your reach. As for the rest, trust in God, who, so as others can see and win with what you intend to show them, will send missionaries in a timely manner — let it be said clearly: future time – since not everything can be said to everyone, not everything can be achieved by everyone, not everything can be experienced by everyone, in the time that is called now.

Therefore, respect your own psychological, spiritual and — in one word — evolutionary limits as well as those of others, since, without respect to your own evolutionary rhythms and those of your brothers and sisters in humanity, nothing true and lasting is done or edified.
