  • Spiritual Law of Abundance, ask for what you want

    Spiritual Law of Abundance means love, happiness, joy, success, prosperity, vitality, generosity, laughter, and all the positive things in life. The flow of abundance is directed towards us. But our beliefs, thoughts, memories, and dignity create obstacles to reception.
    It is up to us and us alone to remove the beliefs that block our flow of abundance. Love is enjoying all your relationships, knowledge, friendship, understanding, work, study, family.

    Spiritual Law of Abundance unlocks your fears

    Unfortunately, we block our abundance of love when our beliefs and fears about rejection and evil make us close our hearts. They cause us to cling to unhealthy relationships or to withdraw emotionally. We stop loving when our mind takes over and we see the imperfection of the other. This blocks the flow of love and with love unfortunately blocks everything else as well.

    Success is a state of mind, not a particular achievement. True success is a sense of satisfaction and how much you may want economic abundance. The Universe will not carry it until you demonstrate that you are ready to receive and accept it with grace, with joy, with ease.

    The spiritual law of abundance is quite simple

    If you want more friends in your life, love, and money you need to stop being afraid of responsibilities. Or the commitments that may arise, and in turn begin to commit yourselves also through small works of charity.

    Change your fear-based beliefs now that block the flow of friendliness, friendship, work, and money. If you want more happiness in your life, express and experience happiness. This alone will make you feel happier and let you see the flow of happiness.

    If you want to have more care and nourishment in your life, remove the barriers that prevent you from receiving and you will send you the right energy and the people around you will automatically give you. Material things flow when one lives in the harmony of thought and has the consciousness of abundance.

    Why do people have to go hungry when overabundant foods are allowed to rot in other parts of the world? Why are men so crazy?

  • Loneliness helps us grow if it is accepted

    Loneliness helps us grow if it is accepted

    Loneliness is not an external condition, it does not mean that you have no friends or are not social. The sense of loneliness is an interior condition, apparently sad, but which helps us to grow. Loneliness is for the Spirit, what food is for the body (Seneca). This sentence contains the essence of the speech, solitude is necessary for our spiritual part, as food is for the body.

    It is solitude that concerns the search for an inner silence, which allows us to reconnect with our soul. That condition allows us to re-find that (apparent) emptiness which is the temple of our inner peace. It is a loneliness that we consciously choose, a condition we need.

    The problem arises when we suffer the condition of loneliness and do not accept it. The suffering that arises from this comes from the fact that we are dominated by the idea we have about loneliness, which makes us feel distant and separated from everything and everyone, in a condition of detachment that can lead to apathy and depression.

    If we manage to experience this state in a different way, then loneliness becomes our friend. First of all, it must be welcomed and accepted. The secret is not to be afraid of loneliness and not to run away. If you notice and observe, you will notice that it is more the fear of being or remaining alone that frightens us, rather than the loneliness itself.

    Secondly, we can observe how loneliness does not create any problems, but rather it is our way of seeing and living it that makes us suffer. It is the idea we have about being alone or the condition of feeling isolated that creates suffering and fear.

    We must begin to accept the fact that loneliness is part of life and that, like everything we live, we are creating it to find ourselves. Have you thought about it?
    In fact, learning to be alone (which does not mean being alone) is important for developing one’s freedom and growing internally.

    Feeling good with yourself is essential for a good inner balance, so we need a path that allows us to feel good about ourselves. On the other hand, to feel good with others you must first feel good about yourself (which is one of the most difficult things to do).

    After all, it is always possible to change one’s condition, since it is a consequence of our inner processes and our thoughts.

    Loneliness, change always happens first internally

    So loneliness is an ideal condition for doing good work on yourself. In fact, the most ancient souls or those who embark on a spiritual path often feel the need to retire in solitude, precisely to live the spiritual dimension more.

    Among other things, scientific studies have found that the most intelligent and creative people are those who live more secluded and withdrawn! So much so that those who have a more solitary life can develop more talent and a brighter mind.

    Therefore, finding spaces in your life in which you can cultivate presence, retreat, meditation is important, but this does not mean being alone, detached from the world or even less happy.

    Loneliness is not an unhappy condition, rather it allows us to find the place where true happiness is born. On the other hand, happiness does not depend on the outside, on what happens, on what you have, or on the people in your life!

    So if you are suffering from loneliness, you can try to turn this seemingly unpleasant condition into an opportunity to reconnect to your deepest part. On the contrary, if you fill your life because you are afraid of being alone, you could instead welcome moments of solitude to create the inner silence that will allow you to access that sacred space inside you from where everything comes from joy, happiness, peace.

  • Being humble in life makes us great people

    Being humble in life makes us great people

    Being humble is not synonymous with weakness. Humility is a concept that is very underestimated in Western culture, and above all so much misunderstood and misinterpreted. If you think about it, even in common language we use the word humility to define something poor, miserable.

    A humble lunch is an impromptu meal with what you have in the moment. A humble house is an essential, small home. Humility that refers to the human soul, however, has nothing to do with poverty and at the same time has nothing to do with modesty.

    Being humble, an arrogant heart does not see beauty

    If we get help from etymology, we discover that humility has a strong connection with the earth, coincidentally, the same root is used for man (homo), as if to say that actually human beings are linked to the ground. Man is then a fertile land that needs to be cultivated, someone who takes care of it.

    It is precisely here that the turning point takes place, being humble means giving light to one’s humanity through openness and encounter with others. We can be the person we are today only thanks to the presence of others in our life. Without them, we would be nobody, we could never be alone enough with ourselves to be happy.

    If you keep a proud and arrogant heart, you end up closing in on yourself and developing a pessimistic view, noticing around you only garbage and trash to be thrown away. Live the envy of other people, the perennial anger for what they have and what you do not possess.

    You focus on what is bad, you perceive a false reality in which you feel threatened by the world and you cannot find what is beautiful and good. You try to solve your problems by taking full responsibility and going by attempts without reflection, promptly aggravating the situation you live in.

    To persist in wanting to be perfect and to live in the conquest of the first place leads to not living. You remain devoid of stimuli because it is difficult to find something that moves the soul, that amazes, everything goes out in the flatness and there is neither sharing nor movement.

    Learn to practice humility

    Being humble in life does not therefore mean feeling inferior, nor having a passive and submissive attitude. It is not the same as silently undergoing the strength of those who want to step on us, but it means opening the window of the heart to look out on a world to discover and that leaves you amazed, breathless, thanks to its surprises hidden among the simplest things.

    How many mistakes have you made in your life? See the world with the eyes of a child, choose the path of humility to reach your frailties and limitations. You will take over new humanity that will have a hunger for growth and a desire to improve itself.

    You will discover that there is something to learn from everyone, that each person has something good to offer because humility teaches you to be rich in little, to seek happiness in the essential and not in great things.

    And if someone is hostile towards you, be humble, you will only be offended if you give them permission to do so. Understanding what the other is experiencing will help you stay in touch with who you are, don’t worry about him, but you can worry about him.

    I know it sounds utopian, but wouldn’t it be a better world if everyone took care of the person next to them, especially when he is overwhelmed by anger, anger, and hatred? This is what Gandhi did, following the philosophy of non-violence and love for the enemy.

    Finally, he brings attention to what you already have and feel a grateful person. it is the desire to possess that makes you feel bad because it distracts attention from what you already have, which however is often considered to be taken for granted.

    The highest expression of humility is being able to express gratitude for everything, even the smallest. Doing this teaches you to restore value to the pieces that color existence and without which the work of art called life would not exist.

    Being a humble person does not involve being oppressed or being trampled on. On the contrary, it allows you to rediscover your humanity with all its limitations and frailties, and then enrich yourself, grow and improve yourself thanks to the encounter with the other person. Abandon pride, open yourself to humility, and feel grateful to what surrounds you to be amazed by the beauty that resides in everything.

  • Believing in free will leads to happiness

    Believing in free will leads to happiness

    Believing in free will means the ability to be able to make choices in complete autonomy. Without allowing the outcome of these choices to be influenced by past events. Believing in free will also involve believing that people can act freely to pursue their goals and improve the quality of their life.

    Research shows that believing in free will is connected with feeling happier. This would happen in western populations, but also in eastern populations, suggesting that the phenomenon can be considered universally valid and not linked to cultural differences.

    Believing in free will makes you happier

    Happiness is considered a general feeling of well-being perceived on a subjective level. According to some authors of a recent article, believing in the free will could lead to an increase in this feeling of well-being through two different mechanisms.

    In fact, having this belief could lead to a greater level of perceived autonomy. And wanting to exercise more self-control, taking your life in hand and committing yourself to do your best.

    Many other studies have shown how useful it is in everyday life to believe in the existence of free will, rather than indeterminism. It has been shown that on an empirical level people seem to have a tendency to behave better when they believe they have free will – that is when they believe they can behave freely.

    Conversely, distrust of free will produces a kind of implicit signal inherent in the futility of making the effort to behave correctly. As everything would have already been established a priori on the basis of past experiences. Belief in determinism would reduce the feeling of individual responsibility.

    Similarly, believing in the actual existence of free will can be crucial in motivating people to control their impulses to act selfishly and aggressively. As this would require a considerable effort of will and self-control.

    If a person firmly believes that he can act freely and without restrictions to get what he wants. It will also be easier for it to deliberately strive and control itself in order to achieve this in the best possible way. Behavior that will inevitably lead to success, thus also raising the personally perceived level of well-being.

    Although the studies carried out in an attempt to investigate the link between free will and happiness are still limited, they show precisely the existence of a positive correlation between these two constructs. Thus suggesting how believing in free will can be fundamental also on an emotional and personal level, as well as behavioral.

  • Spirituality is the way to be happy

    In Spirituality there are three levels that I consider fundamental.

    • Emotions – our emotional life has a huge impact on us and therefore it is a fundamental aspect to face to live happily.
    • Mind – the mind is the greatest resource with which we are endowed because everything passes from here and it is with the mind that we can change our life.
    • Soul – what has the most important role is the soul. We can’t transform our lives and be happy without working on our spirituality.

    Often the feelings we don’t understand, the dreams that seem to warn us of something, are a way in which these levels communicate. The spiritual part informs and advises us. We should not confuse every feeling (which is often the result of mental patterns and beliefs or fears) as a special message.

    Connecting to our soul, to this dimension that we don’t see with our eyes, is our mind. A dream passes from here, a feeling is elaborated from here. Our mind processes every external stimulus and this can be a physical stimulus, easy to understand and see, or an immaterial stimulus much more difficult to understand, but also more important.

    Spirituality – we are body and soul

    The spiritual dimension is very important in our life, the thing that strikes me most is that often whoever treats it as a priority reduces the soul to the servant of the body. The proposed spiritual paths are aimed at taking advantage of your body. The slogan is more, and the application of a spiritual path almost always ends on one of these points:

    Improve your working conditions.
    Having more money and wealth to live better.
    Having deeper and sincere relationships with others.
    Get the person we want in our life.
    Have more health, more strength, more well-being.

    That said, there is something that goes beyond what we see, the question we should ask ourselves is: what role does spirituality play in our life?
    Do we only need our spirit to have more every day and to get more pleasure from the things we do?
    Or is he just a messenger who offers us some valuable advice if we listen to him?

    My experience has led me to understand that this is the way to be happy because the spirit comes before the body. It’s not that we too have a spirit to be interested in. In reality, we are a spirit that also has a body. We are a spirit that experiences a bodily experience. The body is a matter, it has its duration and will end.

    The spirit no, it has no end and continues beyond our material journey. Usually, it happens instead that we give all the importance to the body and leave aside the spirit. We see the body, we feel discomfort, emotions, and problems. What we perceive with our senses is much more immediate and it becomes obvious that we behave in this way.

    In a culture like ours where only what we see matters, there is little room for the spirit. So why should we take a completely different direction and make choices that few, if any, could understand or accept? Because you want to be happy and spirituality has the greatest weight on your happiness.

    Since the eyes are easily deceived, appearance influences us to make mistakes often. Because if your spiritual dimension is strong, the mind and body also become. the first big change, capable of transforming your life, of realizing your personal growth, is understanding that we must overturn the vision we have of our existence.
