Reflections on Wisdom and Compassion: Discourses from “Así Hablaba Quetzalcóatl (Thus Spoke Quetzalcóatl),” Part 2 of 2

HOPE MATERIALIZED “I would tell you: Learn to become brothers of your children and they will teach you a world which went to sleep within yourselves. But even though you are able to go down towards them, and help them to flourish, how much delicacy will you put into taking care of the garden of their feelings, so that they may not wither? With how much care will you become their shelter but not their jail, or their breath without suffocating them?” “Certainly, only wisdom and love counteract the distortion with which children are confronted in this world, and that we so call education.”

EMPTY BUBBLES “And tell them: Use things, but don’t become their slaves, use them to raise happiness in this world, but not to raise grief and evil. And specially, be sincere with yourselves, and don’t let temptation be justified as good, what in your inner self you know is bad, and does you wrong. They are stronger in spirit because they satisfy themselves with little, and have few necessities. If those who have more would help them... They will clean in themselves some of their ignorance, and their abuses from the past.”

IMMENSE DESERTS “And so He was telling them: Man has many windows towards the outside, but how many does he have towards the inside? There are many places within him where the Sun has never shined, and places where not even a tree has been planted.” “The only Window to look towards the spirit is in the forehead. Look and listen to the Great Being. By listening to Him you will know the Idea of God. His voice tones up the other centers with total perfection.”
