TRANSFORM IS TO TRANSCEND

VICTOR MANUEL GUZMAN VILLENA

Some people are born within the framework of the world of causes, while others are born to the world of emotions. but a large majority are simple and indifferent spectators, frequent obstacles placed along the path of development and transformation, until the disappearance with the deadline given at the time corresponding to their lives, leaving the memory of the idea on a whim called destiny. That is why, since ancient times, humans themselves were classified into: ordinary mortals; intelligent and creative light.

At birth the spirit within the world of causes, born with a precursor with it, an immortality, all those participating in it are in a position that allows them to be incorporated into a single consciousness. However, with the birth of a spirit to the world of emotions, comes an ability that allows the identification the nature of the affections, with the nature of the causes, such identifications represent the links that make up the chain of  intellectual  development and emotional capacity, social-historical evolution and mental conditions but are for cultural development that enables the integration and location within the frames of the same universal civilization, as evidence of this ability is the inescapable awareness of the inner self, and the self and society, like a unit, and therefore the origin of justice and peace for peace, a condition which can not any people may waive, whose purposes are identified with the ideals of development and collective prosperity both material and spirit, which in turn, leads to the conviction of the necessity of the sovereignty of thought and through it the reason. Needless to say that where intelligence dies, dies justice, just as where justice dies, peace.dies.

From the moment the person sees the light begins to define his personality. Given that human beings have two antagonistic forces within. One is the false self, better known as ego or personality related to ignorance, thoughtlessness, selfishness, dissatisfaction and fear. The other is the true self, our true essence, which is connected with wisdom, consciousness, welfare and unconditional love. Any person who is not in touch with its essence is in the process of being dehumanized, it is slowly forgetting and marginalizing their true values​​, which affects the way you think, live and relate to others.

How to know that this personality can be identified with the ego? It's easy: first, despite doing a lot and have everything feels empty inside, as if it lacked something essential to live in peace, with  time the accumulated pain finally disconnects the person  from the own humanity. From the ego, people act driven by fear and the need for physical and emotional survival. Their goal is to make reality the desires  selfish needs and expectations, leading them to live a life marked by nonsense, discomfort and the constant need to escape and drugging themselves. This type of personality falls down very easily and is determined by false beliefs on whom they are and what its relation is with the world. Due to the ignorance its ego prevails,  there is a personality determined  in constructing a competitive, aggressive, avaricious, superficial, unsatisfied, empty and ambitious society.  Dissatisfied, empty and ambitious, which in turn continues to condition the new generations to preserve the imposed system. Here I mean in terms of society and where the world has become a business, where profit is the end, people are manipulated, they lose their personality, their affections.

From this arise large corporations that manage and control the monetary system. All institutions operate under the same principle for their own survival. At the level of governments, financial, businesses and religious institutions, which have much influence in society, are aimed at optimizing their resources to have the greatest possible profit. Most of them are not interested in the welfare of mankind and the environment because it is not profitable for them. Those with power are only interested in having it for the longest time possible, and for that they need to continue to enslave people through debt and banking interests that prevent mankind out of this vicious circle of crisis of values​​.

Under these conditions arise and transcend leaders to fulfill your purpose as your ideals. Whether you recognize them or not at the beginning or their trajectory. Consider that you, me, the air, a rock, nature, the cosmos. transcends this existence, constantly transforming. Although, of course, the human reason is the largest sample of known significance. And this transcendence is achieved with awareness.To achieve transcendence as a leader in your own life, you have to always be positive and everything that follows will be as a positive results, applying intelligence on your side and empathy in equal consideration. An example of this is always to motivate people around you, teaching what you want to accomplish with the example of your actions, to change habits, routines and attitudes. Leadership is a mirror cell with children, family, at work, they are a reflection of us. We are the role models and there we know we've had the opportunity to lead. The word indicates but the action commands.

A great leader who transcends empathy applies with no mistake their actions, and must have verbal and nonverbal communication, the most important is the nonverbal actions, that are visual. The results of a leader who transcends will be reflected in the common purpose that is happiness.  It is a path that must be reached, step by step, every day in your daily life. If you are positive in difficult times, they become easy. Leaders that transcends all their life are learning and teaching, always experimenting and improving, taking advantage of knowledge and communication. A leader always must motivate and teach you how to dream, dreams must be named and must be achievable according to your possibilities.

This is the way cultures transcended in history, which is the life of the people, is to say that it is much more than just a cyclic, duly recorded and inventoried. The story is light that points the way of the law, the gradual transition from one state to another immediately above, each time there is the phenomenon of retention is why the story means and imposes a perennial progressive valuation. The proposal is, a radical change in the process of human formation? Now egoic conditioning prevails, causing the man to remain a slave. In contrast, learning based on our true nature, enhances the development of our consciousness, which frees us from false beliefs accumulated by the ego and thus limit our existence. 

The economic crisis only highlights our crisis of conscience. It is an indicator that something is very wrong. All the great sages of mankind, like Buddha, Lao Tzu, Jesus Christ or Socrates, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus said the same thing: the meaning of life is to learn to transcend our selfishness and self-centeredness so that we see others and the environment surrounding environment as part of ourselves.

There is no fragmentation, only unity: we are all one. Seek truth involves analyzing the socio-cultural conditioning received to reconnect with our true nature. There is no sign of intelligence to adapt to a society like today, deeply sick. The leader they need to improve the reality should be, above all, conscious man, free spirit and wise. Transcendence is life itself. On a more personal level, transcend is fulfilling your purpose according to your own ideals. No matter whether you are or you are not recognize.

STRENGTH: CONSISTENCY OF TRANSFORMING

 VICTOR MANUEL GUZMAN VILLENA

M:. M:.

The strength is in the habit of overcoming difficulties. As a gift of our spirit, becomes a force that resists and rushes as the need of the hour. It is an incredible value to those who attend the hardest trances of life, for it is necessary to generate that energy inside us in order to face the difficulties, challenges and efforts that life poses continuously, and we can not escape, and we shall endure pain, discomfort, overcome the bad times, dominate fatigue, tiredness, sadness.

The strength is the ability to make efforts without complaining, without feeling threatened by the problems, and then we can overcome fears, endure fatigue, deterrents to any suffering or misfortune. This requires the courage to overcome all the obstacles that are opposed to the pursuit of good, knowing to undertake what should be done. However, the classical philosophers did not hesitate to assert that the principal act of fortitude is to know how to resist. But I think it's better to remove it from our self, because if we do not get a solution to the problem we do not win anything leaving it dormant and worrying.

All human beings without exception have weaknesses, scholastic education has contributed to a teeming multitude, that has not been brought up to strength, and their life is altered to the slightest contradiction to their tastes, their welfare, their comfort, is so we have to learn to master ourselves, so that later we will not be defeated by life. It is necessary to create the Mental adaptability to different circumstances, whatever the means by which it is achieved either resting, thinking, talking, playing, maturing, with optimism, everyone has their means and must use the more appropriate, but all these means to achieve the strength, always consist of an adaptation of the mind.

The fortress covers three main areas:

a) Undertake surmountable difficulties

b) Resist patiently what seems insuperable, not to be overcome by sadness at the physical or spiritual suffering

c) Remain firm for the duration of the effort, be constant, which is the virtue that leads us to carry out what is necessary to achieve the goals we have set, despite external or internal difficulties, or decreased motivation for the time. Constancy is based on a strong willpower and in a continuing effort to reach the proposed goal, overcoming the difficulties and even overcome ourselves.

Also important is the personal ideal, that captures what we really are, the impulses are channeled and gives direction to a specific mission, that is to say helps us to know ourselves and we know that tasks performed to achieve a goal. The personal ideal unites ideas gives more strength, so that our life is organized and have consistency. That ideal turn has two currents: the ideal of being, and the ideal of doing. We all walk through these two paths to get to a good port.

The ideal of being: is that everyone must find "what disrupts our lives." What are the inclinations, tenderness, happiness. When you know what impels it, recognizes the gift that enriches the whole being. This gift transforms all that we are psychologically, gives healing and vigor, to know where to go.  Who found this treasure that holds within our being and personality, is holding the root of personal ideal that guides our lives to magnanimity, is a saying that we have a great spirit, a large and generous heart, you wonder every day What else I can do?, because it seeks to be given without measure.

The ideal of acting are all actions that we face as citizens, professionals, families, striving in our abilities, whether intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual. To fulfill these tasks the human being discovers their mission. That call that is made to each and to consecrate all their efforts putting into play the skills and gifts that nature has given him the benefit of others.

When you know the ideal in personal life, you  discover that exalts you  because we realize that everyone has value as a person. Do not confuse this feeling with the pride and arrogance that seeks personal greatness and takes us away from humility. This greatness is closely linked to the way we are, because we have to be grateful for the gifts and talents that nature gave us. And that's the difference from one person to another, personal experience that does not belong to the mass, the flock.

We all want to be strong, but that it does not happens overnight, we must go slowly. To achieve the strength you have to be strong and intensify our gifts, knowledge and skills, as otherwise we are weak. Also we have to anticipate difficulties, because when you want something good you always find them. If you imagine the difficulties  before, you will lose your fear of them, and when adversity comes you are going to have a better  way to resolved it, if you are taking by surprise. We also must embrace the little annoyances of daily life with magnanimous attitude such as cold, heat, pain, problems, ingratitude, criticism of others, things do not go as we want. This is the only way to becoming strong in spirit, in the painful moments such as a serious illness, a death, a tragedy, a big temptation. All these actions that we find it hard to realize are strengthening more our fortitude.

Entrance to the Inner Self

ENTRANCE TO THE INNER SELF

The great mystery that surrounds to this mystical entrance is how it takes to a magical world in which exist a different dimension like the one we live

VICTOR MANUEL GUZMAN VILLENA 5768

R.E.A.A.

In the legend that composes the different towns of the world, one of the more interesting and mysterious is the image of the door or gate which introduce the central personage of the story in “another world”, in a magical world or in a different dimension from the being and it brings back to consciousness. A typical example is in the symbolism of the tarot, this gate is represented by the called card the Priestess; in the cards of Waite, shows the entrance to a temple, it hides by a veil, after which the priestess is sitting down with rolls of the Torah between hers hands.

In the majority of the great universal religions there is a reference to this “mystical gate”; Christ made reference to it in the Sermon of the Mountain when He said: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
The great mystery that surrounds to this mystical entrance is how it takes to a magical world in which it governs a dimension different from the being. Where the secret of that resides?. “Open Sesame” In order to understand better what means this mystical door, is precise to define the nature of the masculine side and the feminine side, the fundamental opposed ones, since what open it is the mystery of an androgynous relation. But to appreciate opposite the fundamental ones in his archetype expression, is necessary to study his manifestations.

Everything is pronounced under the duality form, a stress ratio between the soul and God; or between teacher and disciple, two people in love according to theirs beliefs. This basic duality of the fundamental opposed ones - or it is that we consider like the duality of creator and creation, spirit and matter, time and space, sky and earth or darkness and light, the duality is very next to the same heart of the existence. Said opposed they acquire numerous forms without stopping being in essence the same. We must review those forms to include better its essential nature; and for it the best thing will be to soon consider the place that fulfills first of all, in the great macro cosmos of the nature and within the individual microcosm.

In the majority of the initiatory schools, secret religions and societies appears similar concepts or ideas. Carl Jung denominated these expressions " the archetypes," coming from a collective psychological foundation. One of the tie preponderant subjects with the creation and structure of its cosmology, that is to say of the separation of the pro creators of the world. Generally this separation in two opposed than originally was a unit it express in the separation between sky and earth.

Sky and earth are the first expression of the fundamental opposed ones. In Greek mythology they assumed the form of Gaea or mother earth and Uranus, the crowned star sky. Therefore the first ancestors of the world are not only the sky and the Earth, but the father-sky and the mother-earth, opposed archetypes of the principles creative and receptive that express like father and mother, male and female. Charles Ponce, in its work Alchemy: tests for an extreme metaphysics, mention two Greek myths illustrate that it. First it is the birth of Athena or Athenian, that does the times of the Greek mystery of waking up. This to wake up mystical one takes place when the seed of the life is germinated by the lightning that explode between the pituitary one and the pineal. This sparkle shakes the receptive and reflective aspect of the conscious mind, thinking and constantly creative, and as so it represents the part of the androgynous equation in which “the masculine thing becomes feminine”.

This image of the reflexive feminine and imprisoned by the masculine thing, absorbed and limited , occurs in one of myths of Zeus. that the daughter of the Ocean, Metis, who had been taken like lover for Zeus, one day she would have a son (or some other thing) more powerful than its lightning, Zeus, eager to escape to this destiny, swallowed to Metis to lock up it in its stomach. But he ignored that she was a pregnant woman, and the pressure that the fruit of its union made inside him to be born produced to Zeus terrible pains in the head. In order to procure lightening the pain he divided the skull with an enormous axe , and from the interior Athena was born, with the shining armor like thousands of suns.

Ponce suggests this birth of Athena represents “the consummation of brings back to consciousness androgynous”; I believe, rather, it was only the beginning, of the first passage in the profit of happiness brings back to consciousness. The partition of the skull of Zeus with the axe and the later liberation of Athena, the “feminine reflexive”, of the prison of inner self, is the experience of the inner sparkle, and is equivalent to run the veil of the negative existence, which confers to the subject the perception of the eternal life.

In the towns of Mesopotamia the productive Earth power had given rise, to a divinity in which the feminine element predominated. When in the agricultural communities as the one of the valley of Tigris and the Euphrates the cult to the birth tied with the cycle of the stations and the ritual of the vegetation, earth like the generating power of the nature was conceived to the goddess as a whole; it happened to be the cause of the periodic renovation of the life. It simultaneously assumed then the multi face form of mother and fiancee. The Mesopotamian mother-earth was inexhaustible source of a new life. Consequently the power indicated in the fertility, under all the forms of personified in this goddess.

Also it happened with the indoamericans cultures, where the symbolism of the solicitous celebrations transient in the mysterious sun represents the masculine paper like light source, of heat and life. The sun (to be fecund father) illuminates the Earth (to be receptive mother), the fecund one and vivifies. For that reason they considered king of the creation, like the best one of its Gods.

Not only in Greek mythology, Mesopotamian and Hindu American were expressed the opposites but in all the cultures that have colonised the planet. It is possible to be interpreted that when the normally creative mind learns to being its receptive opposing, and the “sleepy goddess” normally receptive of Kundaline learns to being its creative opposing, experience the androgynous mystery of the divine one, guides of the pilgrim once transposes the Mystical Gate and enters the inner temple.

In this sense we can see “with other eyes” the representation celebrates more of this Vestibule, the traditional symbol of the Tao, the circle divided in a white zone and another black. The target and the black represent both opposite fundamental of the nature, yin and yang, the Yin receptive feminine principle and yang creative masculine principle. But it matters to observe that within each of these principles opposite one is contained its, appeared by the small circles of opposite color: the white seed within yin black and the black seed within yang white. These “seeds” symbolize of each opposite fundamental one. When these seeds fructify, when yang creative becomes the “feminine thing released” in the receptive sense, and yin receptive becomes “masculine resurrects” in the creative sense, is born androgynous the divine one, the Mystical Gate is open and the pilgrim can enter in the mystery “another inner world” of the soul.

And this principle of yin and yang is represented in the pavement of mosaic of the Masonic temples, interpreted by squaring black and white that means duality and opposite like its acceptance through the tolerance and free will. This pavement is constituted by the opposed pairs of that are like faces of a currency, one next to the other like the day and night, the dream and the watch, the pain and the pleasure, honour and the calumny, the success and the failure, the happiness and the misfortune, the egoism and the altruism to conceive the positive and the negative. But in spite of existing the irremovable principle of duality it is possible to add that those rigid principles do not exist, because the man is a mixture of positive and negative, there is no a totally good man and that there is no a complete bad man . Then what exists is the polarity, they are tendencies or approaches towards the positive or the negative, which causes that a person inclines more towards a positive virtue or a negative defect, but without this means that the positive not excludes the negative or vice verse.

But it matters to observe that all the mysteries have a main purpose for this initiatory experience, androgynous waking up of the divine one, carried out by the magical initiation, to be on towards the interior the immortal aware of the man, raising its power of perception until they were able to receive the message of a higher degree of reality.

The Gate leads to the sanctuary of the inner temple. It is the entrance to “a sacred place”, where the entrance to a temple non constructed by hands nor by human tools; the entrance to the “closed garden” where once occurs to the hidden and secret encounter between the spirit and the external being. It is also the beginning of the great trip that crosses the rainbow, arrives at the magical Earth of Oz, that leaves in search of the Grail, back leaves the city of the destruction and transposing the threshold of the gate it initiates his peregrination towards a celestial city. Once open the Gate, clear path extends and the old way in front of the investigator. From inside it summons the admonition: “You enter by the narrow gate…” And few are those that find it.
