How Can I Validate That Person? Part 4

I am mourning the death of my dad. The release of my book The Secret Way of Alice is postponed, for now, for April 22, but I will confirm it. The actions of preparation to launch the book require an amount of energy that I am still gathering.

It is absurd and ridicule to talk bad of others, because you and all those others are the same Being, just manifested through a different vehicle. The same electricity illuminating through different light bulbs. When you offend someone, you are offending yourself, and you are addressing your offense to the Spirit, of course, since the Spirit is in all of us.

Jose Marti, a Cuban hero of 19^th Century, stated the idea of right talking in a beautiful way. He said, “Words are useless if they do not carry behind them a clean and honest heart, if they do not create, if they do not clarify, if they do not add, if they do not attract. Words are useless if they do not carry behind them a clean and honest heart.”

Suppose you are going to speak. Think before speaking. Will your words create, clarify, add or attract? No? Please be quite. My mother used to say, “You have lost the brilliant opportunity to remain quite, to remain silent.” Create as opposed to destroy. Of course I do not mean “Be creative in you insults”. No, no. Listen with your heart. Create with your words. Clarify as opposed to confounding the other person. I do not mean “tell him clearly what all his defects are”. No, no, no. I mean work to make yourself understood, kindly, and thinking of the life situation in which the other person is. The same with add. Add constructively, positively. Do not add misery to insult. Do not pour lemon over the hurt. The same with attract. Be nicely attractive.

Every word you speak is an affirmation or a negation of reality. There are many schools that teach you to select carefully and repeat constantly specific positive affirmations or decrees, because your words affect your subconscious mind, and help to determine your life.

Buddha was very clear too. His Eightfold Noble Path starts with practicing Right Vision. This means seeing or comprehending the four noble truths which will be discussed in our last lecture (and we would add the two essential underlying truths). The second stage of the noble path is Right Resolution. 

Once you know the theory, once you see or comprehend the essential and noble truths, many people do not have the discipline enough to practice it along their lives.

It takes a firm resolution to do it. A firm decision to be congruent, to ensure that every thought, every action, and every word you think, do and say, are aligned to or consistent with the essential and noble truths. That means you must be alert, aware of yourself, you must remember yourself, well, all time. Not just fifteen minutes a day, or not just during your meditation time. All day. Well, all day today. Or just right now, in the present. And then in the next present moment, and so on and so forth.
