Everyone has been encouraged to
fraternal co-existence, to love and to peace

Throughout evolution, everyone has been encouraged to fraternal co-existence, to love and to peace. Even unconsciously, there is the aspiration of reaching real cooperation.

Positive action

The aspiration to live and to work in harmony transforms into positive action when based on spiritual values. In fact, fraternal behaviors gradually dissolve selfishness. Moved by this will, we can persist even when everything around opposes the act of sharing.

The possibility of cooperation among human beings arises from the quest for union of each one with their inner level, with their soul, and this quest begins if there is availability to change oneself and not to be shaken by the way the others act. Many are undergoing important tests, and by means of them they approach union with their akin.

Material structures can be demolished completely in few instants – but the one who has developed spiritual will and keep their Faith will feel safe. Above all in turbulent times, as the current ones, it is necessary not to get entangled emotionally with the external faces. It is also necessary to renounce selfish behaviors, as they bring limitations, suffering and psychic pain.

On the path of cooperation, neutrality is a source of safety and peace. Nothing affects the heart nor the thought when selfish preferences or separatists positions are absent. Union firms itself and the person remains in balance.

To donate one’s own life
on behalf on everyone’s good

The integration of human consciousness in the fraternal work widens its horizons, makes its problems simpler and leads it to transcend selfishness and disharmonies. Thus begins the correct relationship with the laws of an existence extremely abundant. For this reason, it is necessary more than the mere disposition to fulfill tasks, but also to donate one’s own life on behalf on everyone’s good.

The joy that springs from service

Not before donation becomes a natural gesture, can we discover the joy that springs from pure service. Great is the work to be done, and those who assume the life of service and of cooperation adapt themselves to the simultaneous fulfilling of multiple tasks. May they be grateful for so much opportunity of being useful.

The tasks are a means of evolution

The tasks are a means of evolution and, for a heart warmed by fraternity, a reason for joy; they facilitate self-donation and self-forgetting. Solicitude occupies the place of the old selfish acts, and abundant finally emerges.

To those who see in cooperation a path of inner growth, it is said that they should try to accomplish what is considered impossible. Human effort is sufficient to carry out what is seen as possible, but in order to put into practice the spirit of fraternity, it is necessary to awaken dormant capacities or new potentials.

May they count on still unknown resources, latent inside the beings. It is time of readiness and faith. Real needs are always supplied in the right time when you live according to elevated spiritual laws. And one of these laws was announced by Christ when He told the human being to “seek first the Kingdom of Heavens within and everything else shall be given to you”.

The joy of the soul

Cooperation brings abundance, which not always is a great quantity, but just quantity with quality. It is the vibration of the joy of the soul, which donates itself and expresses itself in the world of form, in everyday life.

When you renounce selfishness, you can share real abundance. “Then you can say, ‘We lack nothing’”.

We lack nothing
