Your Faith

There is a problem around faith. That problem is the religious drift in the vast ocean of the spiritual being that we are, whatever form we decide to print on it. Religiosity is dual, meaning that instead of integrating, it divides. This means that if I believe in certain things and others in certain others, a particular impetus to grant greater relevance to what I believe in opposition to what others believe emerges.

It is a problem of form, that is, of mind and matter, because the substance in you, in others and in me is the same. But instead of realizing that we have everything in common, we decide to arm our ego with as many mental weapons as possible in order to be right, to keep insecurity away from us, to bandage our eyes against a reality that we do not want to see and that is quite common, namely that we have no idea who we are. This is aggravated by the fact that we do not have the courage to strip ourselves (in front of ourselves and much less in front of others) and simply allow ourselves to ignore everything an make room for something that does not come from our form and our matter (the mind is matter) to appear.

I believe that faith without that risk is a lie. Moreover, I believe that faith is precisely that permission to take the risk of coming into contact with the vastness of what we are and what we share with other beings on this planet, with the whole universe, with everything that is and that we may call God, Nature, Energy, Consciousness, or whatever word we prefer but that cannot be limited to it. In fact, those words can work as pointers but they can not touch, they can not say “this is it”, they can not realize that your shine and mine have the same power, that they come from the same place and that you and I are the same.

The form divides and that is why faith has no form, it is a tsunami that destroys all division because it comes from the expansive feeling that you are God and that I am also God, that division is a deception, a simple suggestion regarding which you have the power of decision. The issue is that without faith, deciding not to succumb to your matter is practically impossible. Without faith one does not know the difference between themselves and their matter, without faith in oneself one is chained to the tyranny of the body, definitions, criteria and emotions. We can not trascend the material by looking for a material exit. The exit is spiritual and the only person who can teach it to you is yourself with the compass of your heart, of what you feel, and for that reason, at some point, you are your faith. Therefore, I ask you: who do you choose to be?

Hay un problema en torno a la fe. Ese problema es la deriva religiosa en el vasto océano del ser espiritual que somos, cualquiera sea la forma que las personas decidamos imprimirle. La religiosidad es dual, es decir que en lugar de integrar, divide. Esto significa que si yo creo en determinadas cosas y otros en determinadas otras, emerge cierto ímpetu por otorgar mayor relevancia a aquello en lo que yo creo por oposición a lo que el otro cree. De aquí, gran parte de la historia de la humanidad.

Es un problema de forma, o sea, de la mente y la materia, porque la sustancia en vos, en los otros y en mí es la misma. Y en lugar de darnos cuenta de que tenemos todo en común, decidimos munir a nuestro ego de la mayor cantidad de armas mentales posibles para tener razón, para alejar la inseguridad de nosotros, para vendarnos frente a una realidad que no queremos ver y que es bastante común, a saber, que no tenemos idea de quiénes somos agravado por el hecho de que tampoco tenemos el valor para desnudarnos (frente a nosotros mismos y mucho menos frente a otros) y simplemente ignorar todo, para permitir que algo que no provenga de nuestra forma, de nuestra materia (la mente es materia), se presente.

Yo creo que la fe sin ese riesgo es mentira. Es más, yo creo que la fe es precisamente permitirse el riesgo de entrar en contacto con la vastedad de lo que somos y que compartimos con los demás seres de este planeta, con todo el universo, con todo lo que es y que podemos llamar Dios, Naturaleza, Energía, Consciencia, o como más nos guste desde el punto de vista de nuestra estética lingüística personal pero que ni por asomo se agota en la palabra. De hecho esas palabras pueden señalar pero no pueden tocar, no pueden decir “es esto”, no pueden dar cuenta de que tu brillo y el mío tienen la misma potencia, que provienen del mismo lugar y que vos y yo somos lo mismo.

La forma divide y por eso la fe no tiene forma, es un tsunami que arrasa con toda división porque viene del sentimiento expansivo de que vos sos Dios y de que yo también soy Dios, que la división es un engaño, una simple sugerencia sobre la cual vos tenés todo el poder de decisión. El asunto es que sin fe, decidir no sucumbir ante tu materia es prácticamente imposible. Sin fe uno no sabe que no es su materia, sin fe en uno mismo uno está encadenado a la tiranía del cuerpo, de las definiciones, de los criterios y de las emociones. No podemos salir de la materia buscando una salida material. La salida es espiritual y la única persona que te la puede enseñar sos vos con la brújula de tu corazón, de lo que sentís, y por eso, en algún punto, vos sos tu fe. Entonces te pregunto ¿quién elegís ser?
