Fragments of an awakened soul

Today I want to think only of You, Lord. I want to dedicate myself to You, I want to place You in my heart, I want to make myself present in You, I want to recognize Your flame that already dwells within me; I want to cultivate it so that it never goes out.

I want to do Your will, Lord. I want to work for Your name. I want to dedicate myself entirely and purely to You. I choose this day to dedicate myself to You, truly, not only for a few minutes, but my entire day. I want to cultivate thoughts that lift me up to You, I want to shape my perceptions so as to feel my love for You ever more greatly, I want to transform my thoughts so that no low thought may communicate with my soul; I want not only to shield my mind, but to repel these thoughts far from me; may I, through the frequency of love, create a field, a force that allows only love to enter.

You do not need to know everything, you do not need to know the whole path; you only need to understand that in Him everything is enough. He will guide you, counsel you, comfort you, teach you, and cultivate love within you. He will show you the truth, the next step you need to take, and that is all you need.

Do not waste time. The pleasures of the world are so small, last so little, never satisfy us, and always leave us with a feeling of emptiness; they are not beautiful in the eyes of the soul, and it is not in them that you will find the happiness you seek so much.

All we want is to be happy, to attain happiness, to feel well, and I tell you that the ONLY way you will fill this deafening emptiness that torments your soul is with what I have just explained: the first and greatest commandment taught by Jesus Christ: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

You will not become a perfect person the moment you place God as a priority in your life; you will still make mistakes and may still repeat feelings of hatred, fear, resentment, and hurt. But you will be on the right path, because, even if you make mistakes, you will continue walking toward God. You will come to understand and repent of what you have done, you will transform your conduct, your thoughts, your feelings, and, most importantly, you will continue placing God as the north on the compass of your life and will continue walking toward Him.

There is no perfect circumstance for you to begin placing God as a priority in your life. There is no right moment. You do not need to wait; you can begin now, change your thinking, change your beliefs, and recognize what was said by Christ, and define now, at this exact moment:

“There is nothing more important than God in my life. God is more important than anything, than anyone. God is infinite in love, knows all that He does, and always wants what is best for me, but He gave me the free will to choose, and today I recognize the greatest teaching of Christ and choose God today and forever, just as He has always chosen me. God is the central value in my life, and all I need to do is simply love Him with all my heart and with all my understanding, and place Him in all my thoughts, all my days, and never forget Him.”

When you believe this, when you make this a truth, you have finally understood what it means to “accept” Jesus. To accept Jesus is not a declaration that one makes, but a complete change within you. If you have “accepted” Jesus and did not perceive this, and still live a life of illusion, you understood nothing, and, at the end of the age, Jesus will say: “Depart from me, you who practice iniquity.”

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except through Him. Not because you say, “I accept Jesus,” and believe that this will save you, but rather because, when you listen to and believe in the truth proclaimed by Him, you will see the path that will fill you with life.

Jesus is admirable; the love I feel for Him is indescribable, but we need to stop holding superficial beliefs, which serve more to anesthetize the ego than to truly transform you, and begin to place Jesus as the highest priority in our life. There is nothing more important to human life than what was taught by Christ; we need to study, meditate, and put into practice, every day, each teaching.

We have to focus on what was said by Jesus and understand the depth of His words. The divine commandment is based on love, it is the state of love, it is living in love; we have to feel love at all times, we have to act through love, we have to be guided by love and, of all that we can love, we have to place God as the highest priority. There can be nothing more important than God for you, there can be no priority greater than God, there can be no other motive except God. After placing this value in our philosophy of life, after burying in our hearts God as the greatest importance, we have to cultivate love for Him and live in love at all times. When we do this, we transcend all illusions, all prisons, all manipulations, and we will be totally free in God. Everything comes down to this.

When we free ourselves from all the low vibrations of fear, dread, and suffering, we connect with the infinite and abundant energy of God, where everything serves for our good. There is no lack; there is an abundance of riches that transcend everything we know as material wealth. In this state, we do not need to save or store up, because we will always be satisfied in all our needs, at the moment when it is necessary, without the need to keep, without the need to plan, without the need to worry, because, when we truly live in the vibration of God’s love, everything that is possible reflects our state of trust, love, and total surrender to God.

The truth about this reality has always been accessed by the masters and taught to us. Jesus said: “The kingdom of God is among you”; “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have already received it, and so it will be with you”; “Everything is possible for the one who believes”; “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you”; “Everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened”; and “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Jesus was intentional in each of His teachings, not to create a religion, not to create a system of power with hierarchies and authorities, but to demonstrate that God exists, God is real, God loves you unconditionally, and that He has given you the power to create your reality in your own way.

God loves you so much that He not only gave you the power of free will, but is also constantly seeking you in order to show you the best way to use it. Jesus showed the power of our belief, of our free will, but also demonstrated the love and compassion of God in seeking us in our state of pain and suffering, so that we may realize that we can choose the infinite love with which He floods us at every moment. That was Christ’s mission: to teach us to use our free will to seek perfection and become like Christ, flooded with the love and light of God and with the power to co-create the reality we prefer around us.

There is so much potential within us, so much that we can learn and grow. When we think of the great names of the world, we must have the awareness within ourselves that we can create and accomplish deeds as great as theirs. We have the power to change the world if we truly believe and, without doubt, we can change our world every day.

We can leap in consciousness from a level in which we live almost like animals, surviving day by day, to a level far above that; not merely to live and prosper, but to transcend all this reality. We are all capable of changing what we believe and, as an effect, transmuting our perception, our reactions, feelings, thoughts, actions, and results.

We are not flesh with consciousness; we are consciousnesses believing ourselves to be in the flesh. Consciousness is unlimited, consciousness transcends the entire material universe as we know it; the power is not in the politician, in the religious leader, in the digital influencer; it is in you and always has been.

My Lord, God of the universe, today is another opportunity to think differently. What I clearly think is not true is that I desire nothing. I desire many things throughout the day and over time, but, on that day, I learned to accept it when I also want nothing. I am enthusiastic to be here. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me and, in truth, I desire to want nothing and to have the peace of being satisfied in the now.

I truly could not have imagined all that has happened. At times, it seems that nothing has changed, but, in truth, everything has changed; not outwardly, but inwardly. It took years, and also a lifetime of awakening, and many times I still think about this: that all this transformation I have undergone is not only the result of what I am seeking and living today, but that it only reveals who I truly am as a soul.

I always ask myself why spirituality treats me this way, and I was left with this question: “who am I?”. I am who I am today; this is my soul, this is my spirit. All this transformation was not merely a transformation, but an awakening to who I truly had always been.
