An excerpt from our forthcoming book/2
Countdown to 'We Are Human Angels, We Inspire Change'
book release! -7 Days!
In anticipation of the release of our forthcoming, new and inspiring book we're sharing an excerpt a day!
Today's is an excerpt from Chapter 1.1
(...) We are One with everything that happens, and everything that happens is part of our co-creation. Our thoughts and our emotions are powerful and infallible energy fields that attract complementary energies. This is how we co-create every moment in our lives. When an event enters into our field of experience, it means that it is co-created by us and by all those who, together with us, are experiencing it. The quality and the intensity of the experience depends on the quality and intensity of the energy that everyone puts into play in any particular situation. Our outer world is merely a projection of our inner world. Each of us creates and looks at the world through the vision that we have of ourselves. Each of us sees the world in the way in which we expect to see it. As we are, so is the world. As is the world, so are we.
Every experience in our lives has a message for us. Listen and learn from it. If we listen with humility to everything that happens, even the smallest and apparently mundane events, then we will never repeat the same experiences that have already caused us to suffer many times before. We will find ourselves walking straight along our path of consciousness and wisdom. If, for example, we and someone else accidentally witness an argument between two people, it means that both we and all of the other people involved as quarrelers or witnesses have co-created and unconsciously co-operated to make this event happen at a particular point in time. Nevertheless, our energy was not strong enough to make us the primary character of the event. The feeling of anger and aggression, whether perceived, latent or repressed, or in the process of being healed and released, have led both us and others to involve themselves in this event.
Different people, who were emanating energy fields with the same frequency, the frequency of anger, but with different intensity, have unconsciously co-created and drawn themselves into the same experience. This is how everything in the Uni-verse happens: nothing happens by chance because everything is always co-created. From the perspective of the ego, we can, with shallowness, think that we are there by chance, and we can observe this event with contempt and annoyance as if it was nothing to do with us. From the perspective of the Oneness, we look at it with an open heart. We know that what we see is related to us simply because it entered into the field of our experience, even if only for an instant. It would not have come into our lives if it were not for our projection. At the same time, we could not be in somebody else’s experience if we were not their projection.
As we can only know our faces by looking at ourselves in the mirror, so we can only know ourselves (and not what our ego imagines us to be) by looking at what every person and every situation in our lives reflects back upon us. If we like someone, it is because we recognize in them those qualities that we prize within ourselves. If someone hurts or annoys us, it is because we see projected onto them those traits that we do not want to recognize within ourselves. The intensity of our pain or our annoyance, be it great or small, is a direct measure of the strength of our resistance to recognizing them as a part of ourselves. (...)

An excerpt from our forthcoming book/3
In anticipation of the relase of our forthcoming book 'We Are Human Angels, We Inspire Change' we're sharing an excerpt a day. Today's is from Chapter 1.2, Judgment.
***
(...) The ego manifests itself when we separate ourselves from what happens in our lives and when we unweave ourselves from our original unity with life in its entirety. The ego is born from judgment. When we begin to judge the different aspects of our existence, glorifying some and despising others, this is the moment in which we shift from the heart to the mind and our minds begin to take control of our lives. The mind, with the purpose of controlling the heart, organizes itself through judgments and thoughts, attempting to imprison and redirect the natural, free stream of our existence and emotions. This is the moment in which Oneness disappears and ego appears. This is also the moment in which our suffering begins.
The ego makes us forget that life is love in every facet and tries to exert its rational control over our lives. Love stops flowing freely, stops being unconditional, boundless, and unreserved. Life stops being a journey through creativity, imagination, fantasy, play, and discovery. It becomes the painful relinquishment of all of our dreams. The ego knows how to build fences and set boundaries of all sorts: self-limitation is the essence of our individuality. When, identifying with the ego, we separate ourselves from the Oneness, we experience duality and suffering. When, however, we recognize ourselves as an indivisible part of the Oneness, we are filled by joy and bliss.
Overcoming the ego is removing the root cause. Feelings of pain, worry, shame, or a sense of guilt (the infinite ego symptoms) are a consequence of a single matrix: the illusion of duality that is judgment. Our thoughts themselves bring judgment and duality: each concept is understood by our minds only when compared to their opposite. The meaning of “health”, for example, can be understood only if compared to that of “disease.” The meaning of “justice” can only be understood when compared to that of “injustice.” In the Oneness, everything simply Is. Light is not the opposite of darkness: light simply Is. Love is not the opposite of hate: love simply Is. Life is not the opposite of death: life simply Is. Unity is not the opposite of duality: Unity simply Is. We cannot embrace the Oneness, the Absolute, through the mind. We only have a relative understanding: everything we can know through the mind is only the illusion of separation. The Oneness cannot be separated into mental categories because this necessarily involves duality and judgment: we can only experience it and demonstrate it through the evidence of our behavior.
When we judge ourselves and others, we forget that we are an indivisible part of the Oneness, and so we suffer continuously because of the illusion of separation. When judgment separates us from the Oneness, only total and unconditional acceptance (of ourselves and others) can reunite us with the Oneness, becoming part of the flow of life and the Uni-versal plan of love. Without judgment, the ego dies and takes with it all the burden of suffering that weighs on our lives. So we begin to love ourselves and others unconditionally, without judgment.
At this point, there is cause for reflection and questions that have spontaneously arisen. Is the idea of unconditionally loving everyone, including violent and cruel people, something that we would consider rationally unacceptable? “I can feel love and compassion for the victim of violence or abuse, but I cannot feel the same for the perpetrator.” “Should not those who commit a heinous crime be judged and condemned?” (In this case please consider that here we are not referring to what happens inside physical courts of justice, but to what happens within our hearts).

An excerpt from our forthcoming book/5
In anticipation of the release of our new book 'We Are Human Angels, We Inspire Change' we're sharing an excerpt a day. Today's is from Chapter 1.4, Projections.
***
(...) Romantic relationships are a major cause of suffering. Each of us experiences, throughout relationships, the highest joys but also the deepest sufferings: betrayal, abandonment, resentment, anger, disappointed expectations, a sense of failure… However, in relationships, when there is suffering there cannot be true love: true love is Unconditional. Either love is joy and happiness, or it is not Unconditional Love.
When there is suffering, it is the “love of the ego.” What we feel in our romantic relationships, that we believe is love, is actually a tangled web of projective mechanisms of the ego: “I project my father onto you and you project your mother onto me.” In our romantic relationships, we re-create and re-experience the patterns and the roles that we have absorbed and internalized from our parents, since our childhood. However, our projective mechanisms are not merely the result of the actual pattern of relationship between our parents. Rather, they are the result of our emotional experiences and personal memories of their relationship. This explains why siblings can internalize different models of parental relationships. A partner is no longer seen for whom she or he is, but through the distorting mirror of parental relationships that we have internalized and that we continue to project onto them.
The stronger the projection mechanism is, the stronger the feelings of pain in the relationship become. For example, as a boy, if I had a controlling and “emasculating” mother, my partner will always behave with me in a similar fashion, until I heal the feminine side that I have internalized. Only looking at myself without judgment, can I accept myself for who I am and let go of the illusion of control and “emasculation” that I have co-created through my projections. For example, as a girl, if I had a father who had behaved in a disparaging and denigrating way towards my mother, my partner will do the same with me, until I heal my sense of self-worthlessness.
The energy of our projective mechanisms within a romantic relationship is so powerful that it has the potential to unlock our inner child, the most vulnerable part of ourselves that we generally try to keep secret. The inner child makes us draw out our emotional blocks, and our oldest and deepest scars; those that, since childhood, we have hidden within ourselves. Our partner, as our most intimate mirror, has the natural ability to fracture and shatter the wall of judgment, self-control, and self-censure behind which we hide ourselves. Thus revealing and freeing our inner child, which in reality is only asking to be recognized and loved. The inner child needs to have the possibility to manifest and show itself openly to the world in order to heal its own wounds of love and experience of life. Only in this way can the inner child again begin to trust and unconditionally love the world, accepting and unconditionally loving itself.
We often hide from other people, because of self-judgment, the parts of ourselves that we are ashamed of showing. We choose to show only the parts that we consider “acceptable”. In this way, we end up believing in a false representation of ourselves, until an emotional involvement within a romantic relationship unveils what was hidden behind our mask: we are naked in front of the mirror of a romantic relationship. Observing ourselves during a romantic relationship tells us exactly at which point of our healing journey from the ego and judgment we are.
