| Fear 2: Transform fear into love. Replace the motivation of one by another, and you will notice your life becoming a watercolour of joy and tranquillity. No, this is not difficult. Difficult is to keep suffering the torment of phobias and fears, be they reasonable or not. Do not try to gather arguments in favour of fear. Realize the absurdity of this self-obsession that you put yourself through and break, once and for all, with the emotional paradigm that you chose for yourself, consciously or unconsciously. Entrust yourself to God’s love. The Divine Providence can do everything for you. Do your part, but put your destiny in the hands of God, as well as the results of your efforts. Maybe, dear friend, the Forces of Life brought you to this uncomfortable situation, precisely to kick off your quest for the reconnection with the Divine. Align yourself with God and you will have done the best thing that you could do for yourself, in all your life. Eugenia. (Text received by the medium Benjamin Teixeira, on March 21, 2001.) Fear: 1. Fear is the gateway for all sorts of imbalance. 2. Instead of surrendering to its insinuations, be practical, and see whether something can be done in order to curb its motives; do it immediately, and then calm down. 3. Even if you got to the rock bottom, terrifying yourself will only make things even more complicated. 4. Calming down is the best internal attitude to promote the discovery of creative solutions and, therefore, respond with intelligence, maturity and efficiency to the problems faced. 5. Often fear is disproportionally higher than the real risks that inspire it. Anacleto. (Received by the medium Benjamin Teixeira, on March 21, 2001.) Benjamin Teixeira

Do not rush. Allow the processes of life, with their characteristic subtleties, completely reveal their contents. Let the dust raised by the whirlwind settle down and then you’ll be able to better enjoy the scenery, temporarily muddled. Clearly seeing the panorama around you will arm you with the resources you need to make a sounder decision, one with better chances to be right.
Just rush if, on the other hand, you are a victim of the extreme opposite psychological addiction: procrastination. In this case, you probably have already complied with all the reflexive steps required by prudence, without even starting to undertake what cannot be postponed, thus becoming negligent and almost criminal due to the omission you allow yourself. Too much caution… is stinginess of living… as much as throwing away, recklessly and inconsequently, the most precious opportunities Life offers you is a permanent state of moral suicide.

Prefer to act heroically, treating well who does not deserve it, to act unjustly, being ungrateful and cruel with who does not deserve it. Whenever you feel uncertain about someone’s character, intention or motives, choose to act with dignity, affection, care and even generosity. Because if you are worthy with who does not deserve it, you will be giving them the chance to mend themselves, but if you are improper with who is righteous, you will be acquiring a hideous karma.
If you act like a hero, you will count, today or tomorrow, with the remorse of who received your kindness and didn’t deserve it, thus stimulating their moral development. If you act like an ungrateful person, you will have to face, now or later, the meaningful look of who was mistreated by you and didn’t deserve it, and then, the remorse will be yours, with a terrible debt in your consciousness, due to hitting who didn’t deserve it. And, when it comes to understanding who is who, be aware, dear friend, that the confusion about psychological and moral types is more common on Earth than you think, even considering the assessment of those regarded as more insightful. As Jesus rightly suggested: “do not judge so that you will not be judged”. Finally, consider a deeper perspective: who deserves to be attacked? Who deserves to be mistreated? The poor guy who is already primitive, unhappy and vicious? What do you think the Angels in Heaven think of those who abuse those already unhappy in life, like those with moral handicaps? What do you think of facing the look of these Angels? Let me tell you, dear friend: sooner or later, you will.

The essential in ethics is to be spiritual. There are those who are ethical and suffer terrible punishments, because they have a veiled goal of benefiting from the righteous behaviour. On the other hand, there are people who make some mistakes throughout life, and yet, life seems to reward them, as if they had done the right thing all the time.
Contradiction? Oh, no. It’s justice: they did their best and are recognized for it. I am not referring here to thieves who are enthroned in positions of power or those corrupt who enrich themselves on the good will and good faith of others.
I refer to something more complex and subtle – to those issues related to dignity, like the husband who is unfaithful but is forgiven, after correcting his behaviour, but another one, who continuously strives to overcome his fickle nature, without ever slipping, and is continuously annoyed by his wife for no reason. Perhaps, this last one does not betray not because of a lack of will, or by a special dignity, but to keep his image unspoiled, or because he is simply not brave enough to face the situation, tension and eventual consequences, as in case of his wife finding out his escapades. | |
