MY PERSONALISTIC VISION
According to the personalistic vision, which I founded in the 1970’s, human beings do not live for themselves. They do not make their egos the center of everything. They do not bend life to their needs, but rather, orient it towards the spirit, towards awareness.
They center their existence on God.
RECOGNIZING MISTAKES
Mistakes happen. However more serious than a mistake is not recognizing your error and not letting it purify and mature you.
You need courage to look at yourself; to put you in front of yourself; to face and accept your own shadows, your weak and negatives spots.
This unmasking process is not possible by your strength alone. You need help from another person, from another “you” that consults you.
Recognizing your mistakes aids in the death of the false self so that you can be born to new life.
MEMORIES… MEMORY
Listening allows for memory.
A memory, like listening, makes us get out of our selfishness and closure. It renders us courageous, available and constructive. In every form of neurosis there are always feelings of omnipotence and rejection of one’s limits.
Only unforgotten mistakes allow for a greater awareness and a greater acceptance of self and others.
KNOW HOW TO LISTEN
To know how to smile, you have to know how to listen.
Being able to listen lies in openness to new worlds, like that of a child.
Being able to listen goes beyond the ego and is independent of it.
This discovery of a mutability beyond the ego is not easy. It takes an entire life to go through the process of emptying, of giving up the manipulation of reality for your own selfish objectives.
BLACK MOON
Closed door.
In the sky
the black moon
peaks out.
Have you stitched
my memory
in the freezing sand.
Why do you cry?
HOW TO SMILE … CHILDREN OF GRATUITY
Many people don’t know how to smile because they are incapable of freeing themselves from illusions, ideas, and mental representations that only reflect the ego’s desires and prescind from the changeability of the material world.
Illusions reveal an ego closed in itself and closed to relationship.
Becoming free of illusions is an interior task.
Therefore, knowing how to smile means not separating yourself from the totality, not forgetting that you are part of it and not believing yourself to be self sufficient, but instead, children of gratuity.
RED MOON
I received many emails complimenting the poems. This encourages me to write more of them, that is, when I feel inspired.
Dark wind
black stars
the red moon rises
above the pond
penetrating
closed eyes
without light.
Many mothers and many fathers
Many mothers and many fathers don’t know how to smile because they don’t know how to analyze themselves.
They don’t reduce their narcissism or desire for power.
In order to defend this false vision of themselves, they project their interior needs onto those closest to them, usually children.
We need to understand that we are not all-powerful and that life is marked by limits.
We are not everything, but we do need everything.
BEHIND THE SMILE… DECEPTION
At times deception hides behind a smile.
Many people use others with a smile.
For one’s own interests, to satisfy ghosts, to follow pleasure.
At times, a smile hides violence.
In love relationships, but most of all with children.
There are bad people that soil and destroy the souls of their own kind.
The badness lies in human beings; in their relationships. Not in things.
For example, a mother that hides deception behind a smile betrays the child and the child will be condemned to betray himself.
THE MOTHER THAT DOES NOT SMILE AT HER CHILD
We could say that a mother that doesn’t smile at her child scandalously commits a sin; sin meaning a deformed and distorted vision of self, lacking in respect for both psychological and spiritual reality.
A person doesn’t smile because she is deaf, because she doesn’t know how to listen, because she has a hard heart, because she is insensitive.
Because she doesn’t believe herself to be in a relationship with another, whereas she remains always and only closed in herself.
