INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE CHALLENGES

We are all individuals and we are all collective. The parts and the whole are present everywhere. And the challenge is to know how to adjust over and over again the contributions to be made between unity and diversity.

The aim of the parties is to provide a specificity for the set the work, and when the different members carry out their task in synchrony the result will manifest the intended purpose.

We share space with other evolutionary realms To more evolution more freedom, more faculties, and yet dependence of the collective is constant for individual development.

We all have skills and shortcomings, which are the key to exercising day in and day out in the pursuit of what we want to achieve. Shortcomings lead to dependence and to cover them we have to make exchanges, and it is through services where through offer and demand we can give and receive reciprocally.. And in the interactions of the parts the whole is complemented.

Civilization pushes necessarily to establish bonds, and through the singular contributions of each we cover the deficits. Is not possible the isolation, the contact is inevitable and indispensable, is a deep cosmic fabric to dynamize some peculiarities for the personal good and for the common good.

In nature money does not serve, and even if we lived in the forest, we would continue to depend on oxygen, water and food. What we lack, what we need, makes us come out of ourselves pushing us to join forces for their respective personal interests.

If there are conflicts it is a consequence of not fitting the pretensions and actions of the members, showing that is essential to collaborate in harmony.

Everyone seeks well being that means quality, and this involves constantly coupling the internal and external between each other, giving and receiving, in what and how we do it.

Multiplicity and unity must be coupled to mantain optimal conditions ensuring the introduction of more refined forms because it is the goal of the world of action where we are immersed.

THE PERFECT STORM

What we manifest on the outside has been forged on the inside, and the same happens exactly between the visible and the invisible. We can not see, touch or weigh what is cooked iternally, nor what happens in the invisble. Is a question of perception, which depends on global balance, goals, behavior and consciousness.

Focused mostly on the mundane side, how many wonder when and how the current mess in form of a virus originated  And naturally, instead of finding out the cause to go to the root and know how to proceed, once again the effect will be treated.

The virus is the consequence of repetitive actions which have been deteriorating the environment.

Finding a vaccine will alleviate the number of infections, but if we continue with the debauchery of before which caused the explosion, will serve little purpose, because planetary disease are the excesses, the abuses, the immoderation that has taken us where we are.

The unbridled debauchery has been conditioning freedom. Time, space and movement limited  as a counterpoint to rebalancing. And instead of being so impatient about material things, we should discover the trigger to straighten out what suits us, because if it doesn´t go to the bottom we´ll just put temporary pieces, and the vulnerability always leads to the essential point, health, economy and relations.

How we used  the time so that we can not now managed freely ? What we have scattered  in space for having to take these precautions away ? How have we moved so that we hardly move away from home ?

We can associate  time to the health, space to relations, and movement to the economy.

When we are sick we can not dispose of time as we will. If we want stay close someone and is better to stay separate, it tell us that we have been invading  the space of others or the nature, and restore order asks go away. Movement is freedom, and do it restrictively is multiple scope restriction. The paralysis of activities and the reduction as usual, affects economy. The question is : how were the movements, how were they made, with what pretensions, to end up where we are ?

THE POTENTIAL OF THE CRISIS

Crisis comes from the verb KRISI that means " separate " " decide " compared with krei ( to cut, to distinguish )

When we say that there is a crisis or it is in crisis, what are we expressing ? a context that use to work more or less well, and when an obstruction occurs it ceases to do so. And we have to go to the root and find ways to fix out.

According to the portion Likutei Torah 2: 48 says that every curse is a blessing of such high order as the content it can not be assimilated in the context of the limited spiritual level of our world. In the future, or in moments of excepctional spirituality in the present can be revealed the true good of the curse.

If in the current actual crisis, if we are only pending  of how it affects pesonally thinking about what we can achieve or lose, without delving into why we should experience it and what wants to show the universe,  surely we will only see it as a curse by the limiting and dangerous events of the moment.

When tragic events occur and judgment comes on the world  it is an awakening for all us, and the challenge is to know how to take advantage of it.

Isolation and  confinement is an opportunity for reflection, to find out the triggers for having reached such an extreme context. Strengthen the closeness of family ties, maintaining a social distance which comes to tell us to be careful of what we say or do for its incidence. Distancing is not approaching to possible contaminants.

The unbridled rhythm of the past has not made us better people, we have not been able to generate decent conditions for everyone, on the contrary, poverty has increased, and the society of two levels seems unavoidable.

It´s not about being impatient to get back to where we were before, because there is a lot of review, a lot of rethink and a lot to change.

The general halt must come together in rethinking the purposes :  what do we really want ? where is the primordial and what is expendable ? where did the previous lyfestyle take us ?  were we satisfied ? we will turn the page in a few days as if nothing had happened,  or we will be skilled enough to introduce healthy transformations ? the human gender, as always, capable of the best and the worst, where will the balance tip ? will the refined or the instinctive part be imposed ?

BANKRUPT SOCIETY

Everything has an origin, nothing happens at random. Therefore if we reached to an extreme situation is by a concatenation of preceding acts.

The mismatch begins in the mental body in the form of confused ideas or thoughts. Then it extends to the emotional body in the form of sensations, and if they are not harmonic it leads to physical afflictions in the health.

The reiteration over the years of wrongs actions  has lead us to where we are. Nature has long warned us more often with strong with devastating episodes. And for those who are neophytes, they must know that the warnings are always gradual. There is a small touch first. If not heeded comes another one of more impact, and so the intensity is increasing until the signals are so beastly that if we don´t notice, we have lost the connection with the senses.

With our clumsy proceeding we have temporarily withdrawn free will to choose. We have mortgaged this possibility because we have not done what was needed, and finally the cosmic order has been raised by accumulation of errors confining us home with no room for maneuver what would be our desire. All without distinction we have become children who have to obey in a confined space.

We reap that we sow. According to the seeds will be the fruits. Then we must ask ourselves : what we have sown ? what seeds did we plant ?

Ilnesses are the product of blockages and disconnections. In many ways connected to the mess, it is the disconnection to the source, to the primordial one which has finally blocked us, producing the imbalance that breaks the harmony.

Everything that happens has been conceived inside, noting the effects later. And air pollution and enviromental degradation it has ended with the utmost drasticity so that once stop to observe what we are doing and where we are going if we keep doing the same without remedy it.

With more and more sophisticated appliances, with security cameras and an eagerness to control like never before, we have been out of play, the whole society from one day to the other..

Vulnerable, fragile, dependent, limited, conditioned, restricted. Much to observe, much to observe, much to awareness, much to learn, and above all immense lessons of humility for all that they should and should change us forever for so many nonsense, of absurd pretensions and harmful behavior.

PRODUCE AND IMPROVE ( II )

Why should we improve ? Because is part of evolution. Our starting point contains skills and flaws, each one has to figure out how to enhance talent and where are the flaws that obstruct harmony.

In order to capture with facts the improvement we must want it, to awaken the consciousness to go to the weaknesses, and equip ourselves with the transformative instruments.

Everyone understands that they have to offer a service with some benefits, and if is not so there may be complaints and complications, and on the other hand not to be demanding in the case of incorrect behavior, our own responsibility, and those of others and the incidence involved.

Material rules with interests in the middle, agree the people unanimously. When is question of spiritual rules, the unconsciousness, the prevailing darkness in that regard, it is so far away that it is impossible to value it.

Everyone will agree that we have to produce, ¿ but how many are wondering what they need to improve ? Money comes and goes, external goods are temporary, food only serves day in day out, and the most cling to what evaporates, passing through the life without being corrected, pending to catch the volatility represented by the mundane.

We want possess that we can not possess, and what we could possess that is intangible and nobody can snatch us nor do we think or attach importance to it immersed in the superficiality and objectives with expiration date.

Apart from producing resources, our task consist in a deep introspection aimed at self knowledge, replacing harmful patterns with charities, and from individuality contribute to a better society, more uplifting, fairer.

If the efforts are focused on producing, neglecting personal improvement, then let us not complain it conflicts remain unresolved because of our unability.

PRODUCE AND IMPROVE ( I )

We were born through parents, and then we must nourish by the contribution of nature. And of the maximum initial dependence we must try the maximum autonomy in spite of always being conditioned by the dependence on external factors. So as not to be a burden on other people and society, we must cultivate talents that serve as potential to acquire resources.

The basis of what we will later have to activate in practice is knowledge. theory as reference, where the learning of concepts it must facilitate the domain to be able to offer a service.

We give and receive, we carry out exchanges, having to extract a profit to cover daily maintenance and have reservations for a certain period.

We have to produce quantity to supply others and to supply ourselves with the obtained profits. Quantity represents the subject, quality represents the objective. We can do little or no, but the product offered must have quality which is intended by the potential client and pays a price for it.

And so every day we participate in this eternal round of trying to cover the essential and the secondary pushed by survival instinct. Of the previous days there is only the essence, just like the food. We rely on the goods that persist and also the learning. A non stop with briefs breaks of recovery.

We ever wonder what all this will be or will serve beyond keeping us physically ? Work, eat drink, pay bills, some distractions. All this tune us with matter, but if we do not get out of this circle, in the end these efforts will have been in vain.

To produce is to subsist, to improve as a being is to trascend. Amid obligations and occupations, in the relations, in the purposes, in what we think, feel and do, we must clarify where are the virtues and flaws, because to produce is to obtain material nourishment, and improve is to develop ourselves spiritually.

EQUALITY ? ( II )

Equality in the origin and in the final purpose. In the middle process is where the differences lie due to the uniqueness of each one.

Equals in the conception and in the aim of learning with the contributed to the society. The way to get there is personal and non transferable, where equality must be complying the guidelines aimed at establishing peace, harmony and understanding.

Equals deep down, we all have to learn give us maximum autonomy, fit in the environment, making connections in order the internal potential can be manifested outside, nourishing the individualities and the collective.

Equals in the basic desires : everyone wants health, welfare, resources for a quality and quantity, satisfactory relationships, and approaching or distancing depends on behavior, of the direction we give to the expressions.

There are many points of view in the face of facts ¿ How is it possible to see the same from some criteria, arguments and convictions so different from each other ? The object of analysis is the same for everyone, and from there can be as many opinions as people.

What equals us is the similar level of consciousness, uphold the same ideals, have the same tastes in different areas, always with their own distinctive peculiarities.

Only in the number 1there is unity, from 2 you enter into diversity, and when we related are two units in search of a merge.

All difficulties and conflicts result from not knowing how to connect the parties as a whole. Selfish interests with narrow eyesight, so that if were wide it wouldn´t act like that, is the constant generating of all kind of chaos that are around us. And then, to alleviate the destructive effects of a harmful proceeding, is when leaders pronounce " equality " to minimize or reduce the privileges of the powerful through more dignified treatment of the discriminated.

We must search equality to balance, to raise the level, to act more justly, taking into account that can only be approximations, so that the differences will always be present.

EQUALITY ? ( I )

There can no be equality where there is diversity. Some politicians say "equality " as do some groups, but this is not the basic word to use.

We should ask those who ask for equality what is their view of it, and what is the purpose behind it.

We are only equals in the essential. Everyone needs oxigen, water, food. Everyone depends on the exchange to cover shortages. And despite being the same in substance, we are also different in the amount to receive according to each one.

We can not be equals because we are created in a unique way. there is not identical face; no fingerprints repeated; all voices are different; apart from the physical differences between men and women, neither thinks the same nor feels the same  nor acts the same; very high or very low people; very fat or very thin;very smart or very short; very rich or very poor.

In fact the term is not equality, rather it is respect, consideration, and not be discriminated for any of the habitual reasons. Equality of deal and opportunities, and from there if it is work, select the best,; because ii is the quality and service that is important.

In other areas observe the peculiarities of each case, the members, that mutual agreement can be reached, without privileges on the one hand or abuses on the other.

Apart from the basics, equality is a utopia. Each one has a particular evolutinary level, their karma, an specific conditions. There can not be equality between someone highly engaged  in a work of personal development and social contribution, with someome primary driven by instincts. And neither those who in the name of equality as an excuse, they are trying to achieve profits that are not really right for them.

Ensure that they are fair, with the differences of all kinds, this is the goal and we must strive in this regard, proceeding with intelligence, sensitivity and equanimity.

DESIRES AND SUPPOSITIONS ( II )

The type of desire indicates characteristics of the person. Desire to have more or be more ? The desire is of inferior nature or for spiritual concerns ? Desires that allow improve in one area at the expense of paying a toll mortgaging other areas ? What are willing to pay to obtain the desired ? Once obtained, will the time spent have been worth the effort ?

Desire is synonimous of some lack. When it is full there is no desire. We can have knowledge and yearning to exend them. We can have money and want to increase profits. To preserve what we have now is the only desire at the present time, What can be achieved later is a future projection.

Desire hinders freedom because it depends on a contribution which depend on third parties. In the strictly material aspect and of personal development, then the tools, the means, the knowledge that can serve as the basis first must come for someone .

To more simplicity less desires. to more sophistication more desires. To a greater or lesser measure we are trapped by the web of connections, and necessarily we need to nourish mentally and financially for the exchange  to access the service we are looking for.

Desires are forged according to a set of factors. Means of action, executing possibilities, level of education, health, economy, and especially the degree of consciousness to discern what, how and why to achieve the desired result.

How many wishes have been fulfilled over time ? How many of these have answered the assumptions  of what they could generate ?  How many have been favorable in the triggers ? How many have been a disenchantment ? 

We must know how to discern in order to desire the appropiate. Desire is emotional at the base of imagined sensations when it is experienced, being quite different between the internal visualization and the external experience.

We must want what makes us progress, the one that introduces quality, becoming successive enhanced version for a purpose which is beyond current perception, understanding and awareness.

DESIRES AND SUPPOSITIONS

Desire is wanting, and in order to achieve it, is required an action mobilizing resources that allow the obtaining of the intended.

Everyone has desires because we have lacks and dependencies, and is the survival instinct the invigorator between subject and object. The nature of desires in essence is similar between each one, the different is how we face the persecuted.

If we had all the needs covered we should not strive, we would not have to relate and we would only be consumers in a life without a purpose of growth. It is precisely what we do not have and it depends on the exchanges with others, which pushes us to instruct ourselves and provide with resources, because the interaction between giving and receiving, is the key to individual and collective functioning.

Once we get the basic services, other secondary wishes they are the ones that make the difference between us.

The most part of desires are for personal enjoyment, where the trigger is the " sense of satisfaction " Between before and after is where we need to know how to measure and decide what can be convenient and what not, and we will do well to ask when the possibility exists of convert the " supposed welfare " in a detriment. ¿ Where can this desire lead me ? Is it essential or dispensable ? Do i need it ? For what ? For what purpose ? Can it be beneficial or evil ?

Is it to short term degradating then ? Is it a noble or innoble desire ? To satisfy the primary or a refined goal ? To get the desired can I transgress laws or rules that end up hurting others ?

Desire tests the  intelligence, sensitivity, emotions and the executive action which will determine the result. We suppose that certain conditions will bring us some kind of good, but all the external, transient, depending on a person, is volatile. Having a partner, children, an occupation don´t guarantee happiness, and often is a source of conflicts. The links established serves for a later purpose, but they are not an end. Filling gaps, covering deficits, is a personal task that goes from the inner to the outside and returns to the inner.

Desire the necessary, the right one, the one that improves, this must be the focus. Act for a healthy end by attracting it in the right way during the journey.
