One is not satisfied with himself and sets up a number of practices which would promote peace, bliss and a supposed better living. One doesn't remain with his dissatisfaction but searches, in this movement he takes himself away from the real time. He is not there anymore.

 He will create in the course of time a rupture with himself.

And he will impose to himself something which is not  his own but comes from an authority, it is not his solution, it is a borrowed one, doesn't came from his own understanding.

And he follows a religion, a spiritual practice, even wears exterior garments and uses objects which are said to be efficacious or necessary, as yellow or brown clothes, ashes, vajiras.

They become followers of a spiritual practice that is not their own, but comes from a millenarian tradition, which,  as wise that could be, never changed anything in the world. It all remained the same in spite of the numerous religions and spiritual practices all over the world and all along the history.

But it never changed anything, and things, as we see around us, are even getting worst.

And the reason is that it was not the real thing.

"That", had to be born spontaneously within the human heart.

Had to be a personal solution.

There, was the mistake.

The emphasis that should have been on this basic truth of personal discovery was substituted by an external authority.

Authority played a role and it all became established under certain rules that had to be repeated exactly the same manner for obtaining a result.

It would made copies of it.

Not real human beings in all their independence of discovering.

We are not interested in all the subsequent distortions, with opposition between believers, religious wars etc:.. we know that quite well.

But it took away the individual from the necessity of a self discovery.

And that discovery were to be faced individually, counting with the elements that one has, which will be different for each one.

Conditions absolutely unrepeatable. As different from each other as a human face is among all the others.

It is -our- search and under our conditions.

But yes, all face the same problem, they don´t like what they are and search refuge in religion or whatever.They don't face themselves.They don't live with their pettiness but pretend to change it.

But how pettiness may change itself to grandeur?Is it really there the secret? That movement of escape from himself is totally wrong. It can´t be the solution. What remains when we don't do it?

What remains if we don't do any movement of escape but remain what we are, without any movement, just a presence there, a witness? An impartial witness?

 That is the soul.

That is the Being you are looking for.

And you do not need to do anything in order for it to be there.

Because it is always there.
