Building a house

"You set about building a house: a few weeks or months later,
there it is for all to see. But if you decide to create something
in the spiritual domain, no one, not even you, can see it. So,
faced with no apparent result you become assailed by doubts, and
at times you are tempted to abandon everything and involve
yourself, like anybody else, in an activity where the results can
be seen and felt. Do as you wish, but one day, amid even the
greatest success, you will feel something is missing inside. Why?
Because despite your many activities you have not touched what is
most important; you have not yet planted anything in the world of
light, wisdom, love, power and eternity.
One day, you will understand that your only real creations are
the inner ones, for they are the only ones that have their roots
in you. When you leave for the other world, you will have
precious stones – qualities and virtues – to take with you in
your soul, your heart and your spirit, and your name will be
written in the book of eternal life."

We automatically associate good with God.

"We automatically associate good with God. It isn’t like that;
good, like evil, is only a servant of God. God is not what is
good; he is infinitely more than that. So stop wondering why he
allows evil to exist. God allows everything, and that is because
he uses everything.
And you too must understand how to use evil in the work you do,
just like chemists, who discard nothing, because they know how to
make use of all the products in their laboratory, even poisons –
everything is needed in a laboratory. So we must model ourselves
on the chemist. Since our inner laboratory contains both pure and
impure, light and dark, elements that lift us up and others that
drag us down, we should learn to use everything to achieve God’s
plans. Be thankful that heaven created you just as you are, and
set to work!"

The universe is a living, intelligent, organized whole, and, most importantly, it is organized hierarchically.

"The universe is a living, intelligent, organized whole, and, most
importantly, it is organized hierarchically. Yes, hierarchically,
from the densest, darkest regions to the divine world, which is
pure light. And if humans encounter so many difficulties and are
exposed to so much suffering, it is because they have not found
the right attitude to have towards this cosmic hierarchy, which
has God at its pinnacle.
But what is an attitude? A synthesis of what we are. It shows
the state of our physical body but also of our psychic and
spiritual bodies, as well as the quality of the energies
circulating and working inside us. Our attitude fashions us,
shapes us; it connects us to the different regions of space, and
when it is an attitude of respect, love and, above all,
gratitude, it attracts to us the currents and spirits of the
world of light."
