The vision of an open heart
Vision I
The most important thing is to be true to yourself.
Man is full of certainties, arrogance and vanity. He thinks he knows everything and meddles in everything and nothing.
The small screen is full of these little people with oversized skulls who cackle and imitate forest monkeys.
To know is not to see, and to believe is not to have great faith in what we really are.
All we do is stupidly repeat what others have said, but we don't make the effort ourselves to see what's really going on.
The human brain is becoming more and more like a computer, but less efficient.
Even if ordinary people don't kill or steal, until they discover their true Nature, they are nothing but puppets, shaking their heads and arms just to make wind.
Ignoring your true eternal nature is not really living.
The human being always refers to his memory and simply repeats in a loop the information that is inscribed in it. As this information has no existence of its own, what is repeated can only come from the graveyard of thoughts, which makes the human being non-human and non-living.
It is said that to be human is to possess qualities such as true courage, true generosity and true kindness, to be patient, attentive and present to oneself and to others. That we should neither lie to ourselves nor to others, neither be afraid of life nor of death.
People like that are very rare.
Those who do not have these qualities within them only say untruthful words and think useless things with the sole aim of making themselves look good in the eyes of others.
To see the Nature of things is to see the Whole. It's not just seeing what suits us or what we want to see.
Sometimes, as I let the Source of visions flow onto paper, I despair, knowing that people read but their hearts remain closed forever.
Religions, spiritualities and philosophies are nothing but intellectual masturbation as long as the Heart remains closed.
But if the Heart opens, then the sun joins the moon and fire floods the water.
How do you open your Heart? By walking with your feet through the entire Universe.
But why talk about it any more?
Sitting in the Great Mystery
Vision II
To sit in the great Mystery is to surrender to Him without leaving any human trace, the body-spirit offered as a supreme gift to this great Mystery from which all body-spirits have arisen.
We think that the mind is this or that it is not that, but the truth is that the mind, with its consciousnesses, is only a phenomenon that is born and disappears.
However, the great Spirit or infinite Consciousness animates all things and is our true Source.
To merge with Him, we have to get rid of everything that is not Him.
Once that's done, it's he who acts, thinks and speaks through me.
So I am an expression of Him and not of myself.
When That is me, then I am Him.
But this cannot enter the human brain, which takes itself for its own creation.
The problem with the brain is that it has two parts and these two parts are always in conflict. This is what we call duality. And the laughable thing is that it's this same duality that talks about Unity, wisdom-knowledge and mystical or simply human experiences.
What a pity!
Today's world dominates the Great Mystery through technological success and the miracles of medicine and science.
Philosophers support these high values by taking them to be true and glorifying their effects.
The Americans (English) glorified iron chariots, powerful weapons, gold and the glory of God by exterminating the Native Americans.
Man sees only through his ignorance, repeating the mistakes of the past. Few have the courage to break through the shell of ignorance to penetrate true Ignorance, the Ignorance of a pure Heart, the Ignorance of the great Mystery spoken of by the Natives.
Man has become so far removed from what he really is that his ears are incapable of hearing, his eyes incapable of seeing, his hands incapable of transparency and his head incapable of thinking about life.
For he forgets that his head is his body and that, cut off from his body, the head is no more than a pinhead suspended from infinite vanity.
If you don't return to the Source, you'll dry up like a pond in the desert.
The truth is not what we think or say. It's what our Heart expresses.
The vision of life.
Vision III
At the top of the mountain
A cloud hangs in the air
And my heart, my heart
Hangs on him.
Chef Papagos
For the healthy man, life is eternal.
For those who learn that they are going to die, life seems to be just a day.
For those who are dying, life is just a fraction of a second. A fraction that can never be turned back. It is over. All that remains is regret, tears and anguish.
But it's a fact that most people avoid thinking about.
We'd rather drown and hope to get out than stay peacefully on the shore.
What do we call life? What do we call death?
Life has been given to us... To do what with it?
Who has ever asked this question? Who has answered it?
Has it been given to us to satisfy our ego? But what is the ego?
Was it given to discover the truth? But what truth?
Was it given away just to have it taken back? But who takes it back?
Was it ever given, by whom and for whom?
There is little ignorance and great Ignorance.
There is what humans do out of pure ignorance, and there is the great Ignorance, which is the very purity of the original sphere of purity.
Ignoring evil and good, beauty and ugliness, truth and falsehood, love and hate, attachment to things and above all to oneself: this is the great Ignorance.
But for most people, to be ignorant is to be stupid, backward, uneducated and blind. It is these same blind people who are actually ignorant.
Here, in the midst of forests and gardens, I can pray to the sun as it rises and sets.
I can pray to the spirit of the water, the spirit of the wind and wish the peaceful clouds a safe journey. When the cranes pass by, I pray that each of them will reach the promised land.
Life should be celebrated simply because it is life.
There's only one, so why wait for the next one?
I'm grateful to my sandals, which suffer every day from carrying so much weight.
Grateful for this precious food and for those who took part.
I never miss a day.
I thank Mother Earth for supporting me without ever asking for anything in return.
I thank life for filling me with life and I bow before the great Mystery that made me what I am.
Life is life.
It passes like a cloud pushed by fate.
Destiny takes us where we choose to go, because destiny is the only choice we have.
And we create our own destiny.
We ourselves are responsible for the direction we take. No one else is responsible.
We can always blame the Mystery for all the misfortunes and injustices, but only the law of cause and effect governs this world of impermanence, and no one can escape it. This is confirmed by the saying: "as you make your bed, so you lie in it".
There is no mystery apart from the power of the great Mystery.
The magic of the fourth vision
There is no greater magic than the magic of words.
Words have phenomenal power.
Words are the source of wars, discord and misunderstandings.
The spoken word is transmitted like a contagious disease.
Philosophers pass on the words of Socrates, Plato, Anaxagoras, Diogenes and Epicurus; Christians pass on the words of Jesus and the Gospels; Buddhists pass on the words of Nagarjuna, Kumarajiva and Dogen.
There are words that enlighten people and words that destroy them.
The power of words must be taken into account.
In the past, people were told to "turn your tongue seven times in your mouth before speaking".
The masters of the past spoke from silence, not from ideas.
Let's not let our old memories, full of bad habits, get carried away.
Leaving a space between thoughts allows our words to be fresh and new.
They don't carry grudges, greed, lies, repetition, appearances or judgements.
When we speak from thought, what has just been said has been thought twice. That's what I call repetition.
We must speak from the silence of our thoughts, so that the words are pure.
But for this to happen, the heart has to be purified of all ideas of achievement, all lies, all appearances and all goals.
This is only given to those who are deeply sincere in their Way.
This is called the wisdom of the Heart.
But for most people, thought comes before speech. It is then thought that produces magic. In this case, thought can become harmful because it is capable of strategies, obscure schemes and many lies.
There are also double magicians who say the opposite of what they think. Why do they do this? To obtain the object of their desire, to show others another side of who they really are?
The world is full of all kinds of magicians and conjurers.
We adopt arrogant, noble or humble attitudes, while the serpent of lies moves around our hearts.
The attitude of the body, thought and speech condition our everyday lives. Human beings are the only species on earth and in heaven to lie so much by making the three bodies slaves to their own magic.
Not everyone can be natural and a real man.
Even those who work from morning to night are just lazy, because they don't do anything real for themselves, they just pass on their lies to other liars.
But that's the way the world is.
Every man for himself" and "every man for himself" is the great motto of a civilisation in full decline. The blind are carrying on this work out of collective unconsciousness.

Makes the mountain's heart beat faster.
The magic of the world of the fifth vision
For as long as it has existed, the world has stirred up all sorts of phenomena.
Endlessly, humans repeat the same patterns without making the effort to break out of the rigid framework of the past in order to renew themselves.
Admittedly, the world has evolved technically, and certain discoveries have relieved a great deal of suffering and made life easier and lighter.
But the weight of lies, betrayals, false promises and flimsy words only increases.
The fundamental values of the past have disappeared or been transformed into new values subservient to generalised egoism.
The world has become chaotic and noisy.
Respect for parents, educators, forests and rivers has also disappeared.
What is left once the qualities of the spirit have been destroyed?
We can't even go back to being beasts, because these beings aren't as perverted as we are. They look at us innocently, and you can see the fear and anguish in their eyes.
We are dehumanising ourselves without even realising it.
Just look at the traffic jams in the morning or on the way to your holiday destination when it's 45°C outside.
And these killers of little four-legged creatures. Aren't they our brothers and sisters?
When they don't kill them, they put them on display in cages to please millions of unconscious people who have never encountered Life.
What's more, they are dragging future generations down the same precipice they themselves dug.
What a pity this narrow-minded, high-minded humanity is!
The great space that surrounds us knows all this and remains unchanging.
This space cannot be destroyed by anyone, even if we were to tear it apart or detonate the earth's entire nuclear arsenal. It will not be coloured or deformed, nor will it grow or shrink. That's the reality!
The same applies to our Essence.
And since we all have a choice, make sure you choose tomorrow carefully and head in the right direction.
Nothing here belongs to you, only your body and your choices.
A butterfly with strange antennae
whispered in my ear:
"They say I'm worthless compared to a bee,
But my beauty alone can illuminate this world".
