"My eye sees the universe like a mirror. Its reflection, blissful and peaceful, contemplates me." "Those who live completely in the present have no time for anything else."



From the total and overwhelming existence of nothingness, every event and manifestation is extraordinary, especially when accompanied by the heart. Death as a counselor teaches us to appreciate this beauty of existence regardless of its flavor and character. From there, from the nonexistent, everything is glimpsed as a magical occurrence, created from a total emptiness. It is from this perspective that the present and all its events are perceived without judgment or concepts. The only thing that can be said is that events occur, none more valuable than others, all equally magical. In this "seeing," there is neither the past nor the future, nor anything to explain or understand. It is a vision of the absolute present without concepts or mental structures. There is not even the notion that what happens is not random. That would also be a concept; an intermediary filter that in this vision is superfluous because it is unnecessary. However Living Reality in the present is living without the face of personal history but with its legacy. Every act is the result of an entire life, and if the legacy of that life, its teaching, has led us to realize the ineffectiveness of using formulas from the past or assuming judgments and considerations arising from previous experiences, then the legacy is wise and excellent. We cannot conceive of an experience of the present that occurs only when all memories of the past have disappeared. Biologically, the above is impossible. Memories are still there, but their emotional charge and conditions don't color the experience of the present. The more consciously we experience an event, the more powerfully it will be inscribed in our memory.


Those who live fully realized lives can more vividly recall the incidents of their existence, but these belong to the past and not the present, and they fail to influence it. In fact, it is a proven psychological law that a moderately lived event can alter the present much more than an experience that was fully experienced with all its emotional and cognitive components. Complete experiences close themselves off, and nothing more remains to be resolved. On the other hand, what is half-lived, what is not fully confronted, is not overcome and tends to repeat itself. Therefore, only those who are capable of living in the present are those who have lived everything with integrity in their respective moment. Their experience in any present had a birth, a complete life, and a natural death. Repression or denial leads to nothing but illness. But in illness, families of unfinished memories group together into living, energetic nuclei that demand to be revealed. Since these nuclei are experienced as disorganizing the self, large amounts of personal energy are used to keep them quiet and silent. This only increases the strength of the core, which in turn requires the application of greater energy to keep it repressed. It is an endless and harrowing vicious cycle that leads, sooner or later, to the somatization of the core and its manifestation in the form of some physical alteration. Now, the core has materialized, and a surgeon is called in to extract it. However, if its roots are healed, it will resurface, and this time it could be fatal. Nothing unresolved is inert. Everything requires an appropriate avenue of manifestation, otherwise it may reveal itself pathologically. Whoever possesses this teaching as a legacy of their life has no choice but to learn to act with complete freedom and follow their impulses, giving them healthy and true outlets, in accordance with their true nature. Myriad manifestations and events coexist in the present. Their experience requires a being here and now, whole and fresh. Whoever masters the present, living it with all intensity, without pathogenic nuclei or need to inhibit any manifestation, possesses a majestic dignity:




"When Subha-Manava Todeyaputa saw the blessed one seated in the forests, the Brahman was moved by the beautiful serenity of his personality, which shone with its utmost brilliance, like the light among the stars; his features were perfect, shining like a golden mountain; his dignity was majestic, with all his senses under perfect control, so tranquil and free from all obscuring passions, and so absolutely calm with his mind subdued and silently disciplined." Excerpt from the book "The Self as an Idea" by Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum I invite you to meditate with me Knowledge is for everyone
