AFFINITY AND ATTUNEMENT

Affinity is an expression of the ego, consisting of the similarity, identity, or conformity of tastes, interests, feelings, purposes, points of view. In turn, attunement is established under the attraction and sympathy that comes into force between the parties that maintain affinity. It is the sensitivity to the emotional experiences of others, and to be moved by these positive or negative emotions; to empathize with these experiences and to want to face sacrifices for them. Through the mechanisms of affinity, attunement is a law that cannot be abolished, annulled, eliminated, extinguished.

Affinity is “a bond of union” in which we integrate. In everything, we see integration, affinity, attunement... And one thing we do not doubt about: through thought, we commune with each other in the plenitude of the universal life.

All things in the Universe coexists by affinity. From the atom to the archangels, everything is attraction and attunement. Absolutely nothing that reaches our existence is occasional or the result of a reaction without connection.

To be in tune is to be on the same mental-emotional frequency as others, capturing and emitting thoughts simultaneously. And as paradoxical as it may be, being in tune is to move away from everything that the mind and external circumstances control; otherwise, capturing intuitive ideas does not happen. Hence the importance of learning to discipline thoughts by exercising mental hygiene through a higher level of reflections, to absorb the dynamic presence of silence as these allow us to shift to a higher sphere of consciousness, to the enlightenment of our inner state.

Whoever aspires to moral and spiritual elevation attunes to higher vibrations, which become vigorous stimuli, producing inner harmony and renewal.

When spiritual masters emphasize the importance of the study, they do not do it to intellectualize ourselves, to demonstrate to others the superiority of our ability and intelligence. Still, through the knowledge gained, we learn to select what truly contributes towards our intimate enrichment and re-education taking us out of idleness, brings light to the spirit and harmonizes the mind, and brings together energies interested in our spiritual evolution.

According to these masters, our soul can be likened to a living mirror with qualities of absorption and exteriorization. We gather the forces of life through thought waves and express them through words, examples, attitudes.

We all have a favourite circle of friendship. These are the affinities resulting from experiences lived in common: shared acts of love; wounds opened by some but healed by the friendship and care of others; problems in common that requires efforts to be resolved; reciprocal help commitments... For a pleasant existence, it is essential the conviviality with people who comprehend life similar to ours, pursue the same goals as ours, and profess the same religiosity... All this is quite normal and must be cultivated, tuned.

However, none of the above prevents us from establishing a good relationship with others by participating in facts and actions alongside them, even when there is no much affinity. After all, living with differences helps us grow and develop our potential for comprehending and acceptance with those who do not cultivate the same tastes, interests, feelings, purposes and points of view. How much peace we could have if we learned to cleanse the tyrannies of our ego, to find ourselves the best, the always right, to be the owner of the truth, or at least its best interpreter. It would be easier to accept ourselves and others.

In the intimacy of our circle, spirits are reborn together by affinities and attunements, both ego and spiritual, and, above all, by expiatory contingencies of the past for the family is one of the main purifiers of conflict. This is where old love affairs and old rivalry come together, an environment in which spirits have the opportunity to exercise forgiveness and love in various ways.

Blood ties do not always bring together essentially related souls. Some of them in our familiar circle and with whom we have no affinity or even some aversion is always someone we must learn to comprehend and accept for our benefit. And acceptance does not necessarily consist of agreeing to its inadequate actions and reactions but being willing to help it overcome all its difficulties. This is the basic principle of the ethics of the second commandment.

And there are missionary unions among people, friendly souls who love each other and seek to improve their skills, review their debts and pay them off to detach themselves from the material ties that delay them in their pursuit of evolution. Are unions, which give no room for repudiation and are founded on mutual sympathy rather than vanity or ambition.

And there are also unions of trial and penance. Where there is an urgent need to bond, review past problems, and adjust to universal law, for if it is true that one can give only as one has, it becomes obvious that one receives according to what gives; The Law of Cause and Effect works accordingly and infallibly in this way!
