Illusion along the Chosen Path

Renato Costa


Here is a message I received from one of my guides some time around August 2000. The guide that gave me this message is neither my mentor (main guide) nor the one I cal my “mother guide”, but one who seems to come from a Zen tradition, since he doesn't care to be gentle when he has to reprehend me for not learning what he teaches me.

"Having ceased the fire of a first struggle it's a normal thing for you to avoid returning to the fight. Nevertheless, if you think that you may stay waiting for fair weather, give up that illusion, since nothing good in one’s life is ever gained without fight.

Little things, which have little importance, keep falling down over our lap without any effort of ours and tirelessly. That thing that we need so much, nevertheless, seems moving away, hiding from us and hurting us, all the time, so that we think it is unachievable.

Oh, my God. Wouldn’t it be possible that a successful quest might be gentle and tender? “But, it is”, answers the Good Friend. “You are the one that draws away what is more convenient to you thanks to your blindness and insanity. And, while thinking you are wise and unconsciously pretending you are a sage, you only draw close to you those things that lead you to nowhere.”

The ways of evolution are many and much different from one another. Each spirit chooses the one that pleases it most."

What I find most interesting in the above message is the change of approach that takes place from the first paragraph onwards. First, he agrees with the normal point of view that there are struggles on the evolution path. Then he goes on to show that those struggles wouldn’t exist in reality were it not for our own fault.
