Labyrinth of life – The powerful and subtle expression of vitality as a compass.
Reason gives us the feeling of “safety” of what we can see and control, and this is everything that a human being longs for.
Safety is the language of reason.
Using the language of reason, we begin to “plan” our lives, as if this was possible.
A path is chosen and we enter the labyrinth of life, losing track. We start to follow a path with characteristics that vary for each person. Some paths could be called “without a clear direction”, working like crazy and dedicated to something as if that was the only thing in the world for which it would be worth living, or there are those “hopeful without direction”, who, somehow, feel more clearly that they are lost in a labyrinth and tend to seek new paths here and there and who, when starting something, are inclined to gain new energy and have the sensation of being in the right path.
Some of these find their direction, others end up “without a clear direction”, others continue to alternate their quest, others get tired along the way and give up for a time and later return to their quest; others admit that life is like this and, by inertia, start to live as if they were machines, however, in truth, they are beings and “feel”, whether they want to or not.
This is the great aggression to oneself, the aggression to an immeasurable treasure that is one’s own sense of self-esteem.
This empties the being, depriving him of access to his most precious contents, which leads to slow and painful destruction.
The great sense of living lies forgotten and one starts to battle for survival, each year, each month, each day and hour and thus goes, floating without direction, hope or sense.
Instead of super living, the battle will be for surviving.
The language of intuition is finally totally forgotten and abandoned and the compass used becomes the compass of reason, nourished by data of the moment, by recorded registrations and which, overlapping through time, finally provoke bigger distancing from the simple, but powerful, language of intuition.
The language of reason uses the dominating vocabulary and this illusory domination induces to a wave of negativism which accelerates the levels of degradation of values and the labyrinth of life seems to have no way out, with few options.
Is this true?
If the language being used was only the language of reason, with its structure based on Cartesian logic, analyzing the facts, the sequence of events, with the deductions based on the premises, the forecasts would not be optimistic at all.
Is perhaps the language of reason the language of a virtual life?
But there are those who are already treading a new path. Those are the ones who accessed inner treasures that were hidden and dormant within each one.
Those are the ones who are rediscovering themselves and reconstructing the sense of living.
Those are the ones who have no fear of change. Those are the incognitos, co-creators of a new world.
A minimum encouragement becomes necessary.
The intent to change is the first step to awaken the enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is the flame that transforms the spirit, giving new life to the being.
Intuition is the most subtle and powerful expression of enthusiasm and can be accessed any time and in any situation.
