Transformation matters

Transformation matters

Camp for the development of spiritual heroism
had muother spiritual effects,
not only those that have to do with spiritual heroism.

Spiritual heroism is man’s ability to give up comfort,
that is, to what he considers, rightly or wrongly,
that it is good and pleasant at that moment,
for a value that is spiritual in nature.

If it is not a value of a spiritual nature,
then it is a simple, non-spiritual heroism.

This matters, because
Demonic or satanic beings can also manifest heroism.
However,
because they manifest heroism
for a value that is not spiritual in nature
or even for a non-spiritual (anti-spiritual) value,
even that embarrassing heroism, directed
in a trivial, insignificant direction
have in a bad, wrong direction, even that,
due to the phenomenon of self-improvement it has a spiritual effect;
produces a transformation in that being,
amplifying an ability to be able to overcome your condition.

That ability will eventually show its value
And it will transform that man,
eventually leading him into a situation
to swing between the embarrassment of the evil he seeks
and the absolute good, in a way,
as did Angulimala (“Kamanite Pilgrim”).

This is because the one who manifests spiritual heroism,
seeks to make an effort for something worthwhile,
and, finally, he will find that Luciferianism,
Satanism (or malice)
They are not worth the effort, they have no value
but they are anti-values.

To endure, to surpass yourself,
it has to be a value that is worth it.

For a while, he who is directed towards evil, outwardly or worldly, does this;
But after enough time, he will find that it is not worth it.

His heroic aptitude will remain and then it will bear fruit immediately
because he will find that he has “a diesel, turbo engine” at his disposal,
therefore a remarkable realization capacity,
a power to transcend obstacles,
which will give him spiritual results very quickly.

In the camp, however, many more spiritual virtues were developed, spontaneously and intensely.

Example:
The connection with the truth,
the need to understand and feel the truth quickly or even immediately, spontaneously,
Doing things you’ve never done before
by constantly adapting to existing conditions
and who are always changeable in such a situation.

Some would call this “practical sense.”
Of course, practicality means adapting
what you know theoretically to what is on the field.

But more than that, doing something you’ve never done before
is a true spiritual test,
and beings who are spiritually awakened,
I do this very easily.

Beings who are not spiritually awakened,
when they are subjected to the need to do things for the first time,
they also tend, under the pressure of the event, to connect to the truth;
And this is how a remarkable spiritual method appears.

Most of those who are not awakened
and they do not cope with these tests, they say:
“I’ve never done it before,
but after I do it several times,
I’ll be very good.”

It is true, and this habit will continue to be useful,
But that’s not the goal!
It matters how you do when you first accomplish something
or you meet something new.

Spiritually awakened beings adapt spontaneously,
they are the most adaptable and therefore,
Authentic yogic practice transforms people
and in the direction of being
The most practical, the most flexible
and the most adaptable people possible
– if they practice.

If they don’t practice and are yogis in name only –
This will be easily noticed on this occasion.

It’s kind of a simple test,
There are even training methods
(“The Fourth Way” by Gurdjeff),
in which man has to do new things
that are not based on habits, subroutines or habits and require an awakening.

This teaching is rare,
and, like many other crucial pieces of information,
It is hidden by society from ordinary people,
so that they do not make remarkable spiritual leaps.

However, be careful:
ordinary people are anyway subject to the need to adapt,
Because they live in the outer world, externalized.

Externalization is a problem, it’s anti-spiritual,
but this permanent adaptation gives them certain capacities
which many “salon” yogis have very little or no experience.

Such people even end up laughing
and to consider that the spiritual path is an aberration,
when I see how helpless the so-called yogis are.

But this is not the problem,
Because the “so-called” yogis are only “so-called”,
those who do not succeed, that is, they do not practice enough.

If they practiced enough, they would be the kings of spontaneous adaptation.

Other aspects that manifested
themselvesand boosted the transformation of participants
in the Camp for the Development of Spiritual Heroism, would be, in my opinion, the following:

– the realizing power to complete any project
(there we had many projects
and people felt impelled to fulfill them)

– the courage to face your own fears , justified or not;
(even if they are wrong, they exist for that person
– “they are real” for her)
and needs to transcend those limitations

– the feeling and aspiration towards fraternity

– Detachment and awareness of the importance of spiritual
connectionwith spiritual brothers and sisters

– empathy, identification and compassion towards others,
who also find it difficult sometimes and need help
or who are okay
withAnd we can “climb on their wings”
taking the “seed” of their state through identification- samyama.

In such an ambience, it appears spontaneously
the situation in which you realize
that you have to surpass yourself and often give up your comfort
‘Cause if you don’t give up, that means someone else in your place
to give up his comfort,
sometimes in an excessive and painful or even destructive way.

And then responsibility arises (in those who are responsible).

Because there were also people who said:
“I don’t do that, you do it”
and turned their backs.

But this does not mean that this phenomenon of self-improvement through empowerment
and by experiencing the feeling of fraternity, it did not exist;
He existed for everyone
– some have “climbed on his wings”,
others did not climb,
But no one was forced.

The aspects to which people are obliged in such a camp
there are only the aspects related to non-violence, fairness, responsibility (if they have assumed some responsibilities),
Otherwise, no one was forced to do anything.

Common sense and Ahimsa mattered in the camp
and those who have not manifested these things,
“They were quickly coming to the surface”
and sometimes they corrected themselves,
or they could have been eliminated from the camp
(we have the right not to be bullied by others)
– and I really had such a case.

Other aspects developed in this camp are thespiritual ones:

– meditation in action (which some have significantly developed),
and others only did surveillance (if they did that);
This is also good, but the bright “swan” in this direction
was and is meditation in action,
which is a spiritual spearhead of existence and of any camp

– participation, through detached volunteering – karma yoga –
in supporting a remarkable spiritual phenomenon – such as, in my opinion, Abheda –
through selfless effort – propels spiritually very quickly and evolution is accelerated;
I have always been of the opinion that
It’s much more important how we live
than the fact that we live
and to do something good – anything – for the spiritual path
is very significant,
our “karma” burns
and brightens our lives
with a deep sense of existence;

– minimalism (Aparigraha) and non-theft (Asteya)
– they also develop in such a camp;
you will quickly realize that you can better essentialize yourself
and use fewer resources.
Even if you used to think you needed I don’t know how many liters of water,
for I don’t know how long, dishes for eating, I don’t know how many pots, pillows and duvets, clothes, etc.,
You find that you need fewer and fewer objects
and of course – yours.
That is, not of others.

Even though there are also tendencies to use other people’s objects,
they stand out but will quickly change in the spiritual environment;
and who has the stubbornness not to change this,
is noticed by the community and oriented towards the good after a while).

Of course, the fraternity offers help
but if a person relies on help
and doesn’t have a personal plan of simplicity and minimalism,
then the mentioned beneficial effects do not occur,
because it uses or relies on the resources of others.

Although we have established that everyone must have their own tent and the objects they use,
some people didn’t want to
or they were unable to comply with this condition.

Now you can understand why this was necessary.

In such a camp there is a spontaneous, natural tendency towards minimalism,
towards non-accumulation.
It is a strong trend and need.

The purpose of this practice is special because
minimalism, non-accumulation, aparigraha, simplicity –
are aspects that, in their deepest area,
it really means identification with the Self.

We don’t need anything else, in reality we need
only by identifying with our Self, with ourselves on an essential level,
with our Supreme Atman Self, as it is called in yoga,
immortal, unlimited and infinite,
identical with the Supreme and Unique Being.

There were also people who fell on a series of tests
or people who have advanced slowly but nevertheless advanced.

In fact, only ill will can prevent a man from advancing
and not turn into such a complex of circumstances.

Otherwise, the wind blows strongly from behind
and not just anyhow, but in a (always) really delightful atmosphere…

I feel sorry for those who did not trust and thought that “they know better”.
Trust is not required, it is earned
But it is to be known that on the spiritual path the lack of confidence
In guiding the person with whom the master-disciple relationship exists, it brakes a lot.

Thus, when transcending a limitation
it is possible to rely on guidance is necessary,
otherwise, the limitation will not be transcended and we return to the previous limitation,
which becomes, however, stronger with each failure.

I’m sorry, however, for many who have transformed themselves
and they were able to feel the inestimable grace of the Spiritual Camp.
