INTEGRATE YOURSELF INTO THE WHOLE!

The irresistible desire or instinct to be “important” dwells within each human being, which is perfectly normal and fair, and is not a morbid symptom because each human being, according to the creation plans is immensely important.

Each personality is unique, original, unprecedented - there never was a similar being or there will never be a human being exactly like the other, not even with identical twins, although the genetic character is very similar, but whose spiritual character is different.

The error is not in the desire to be “important” - the error is in the way people try to be important.

There are three possibilities to be important:

--- by isolation;

--- by opposition;

--- by integration.

The Self without us is apathy.

The Self against us is antipathy.

The Self with us is sympathy.

Only in the third case does true greatness, importance and happiness arise - but it is difficult for humans to comprehend this truth.

Within each man, there is an unseen desire, potential, to be integrated into a Whole greater than himself, a Whole that gives him a reason for being, the real meaning of his existence and activity.

The need for esteem and recognition, the desire for glory and power, sex and love, the urge to acquire material, intellectual, spiritual values - all these are just as many partial expressions, more or less unconscious, of that deep and vast Self, which forms the essential part of our Being, of our quality, which feels its partiality and the desire for wholeness.

This is also the reason why “love is the bond of perfection” because love is integration, universality, wholeness - whereas lovelessness or selfishness is contrary to all of that.

Since the Creador is the Absolute Totality, the more divine a man is, the higher his degree of totality and universality, that is, of love. Not including, or even excluding a single being from his love, whatever it may be, is a lack of wholeness and universality, a lack of “Divinity”.

Happiness, deep and solid beatitude, is found only in this path of integration: the part in the Whole, the human being in the Universal, the relative to the Absolute, the creature in the Creator. This is the voice of the Cosmos, and happiness is the attunement of the human being with the great Whole.

“To be equal to God” is the biblical language to express this desire of all beings, because since everything is in God, everything comes from God, it is logical that everything returns to God. It is the eternal and universal Theo-tropism of the effects by the cause.

To the spiritually immature man, this integration seems to be a renunciation of freedom. It happens that, unconsciously, he wishes for this integration into the Whole to feel safe, sacrificing freedom for security; preferring to feel safe without freedom than to be free without security.

The true mystic, the integral man, is the man surely free and freely safe because he is fully integrated into the Whole. And, as freedom and security are synonymous with happiness, he will never be able to renounce this vast integration, which is Eternal Life and Eternal Happiness ...
