Life is a rollercoaster

We live in a cycle of ups and downs

We live in a cycle of ups and downs, good moments followed by bad ones, recovering, and sometimes having to die and be reborn.

Living is the school of our soul; we learn by living, feeling, and creating emotions that reach our soul, which, on another plane, cannot receive physical stimuli, whether of pain, pleasure, sadness, or joy. Despite everything, it may be an illusion, perhaps like an educational game in which we playfully help our soul to evolve. In essence, our soul is pure and divine love, and as such, it is complete in itself and eternally sufficient in everything it is and needs to have this divine status in itself.

Perhaps God thought: go and feel, test, make mistakes, succeed, rejoice, and be disappointed; go and play the game of illusion and separation.

You have the free will to decide what lessons you want to learn in each life and to choose your companions, who will be your allies and teachers, both those who love and cherish you and those who hurt you and are unfair to you. In a meeting room in a distant and illuminated place, our souls are gathered before coming here in anxious meetings to project all the emotions they will experience together on this plane. Who knows if it will be like this? I believe it will be so; to me, everything seems to fit perfectly so that everything is not just coincidence, much less luck or chance. For me, destiny exists, designed by the free will of our souls.

And if it were so? And if everything were an illusion, a game, or a representation?

Would you feel joy in the same way?

Would you be disappointed with anything?

Would anything, whether good or bad, right or wrong, make any sense?

This would lead to a philosophical, spiritual, or even theological discussion that we would never leave. This mystery is perhaps one that no human being will ever turn into science and that proves that any theory can be completely right or wrong. Before I slightly change the direction of my thoughts, I would just like to say that even right and wrong will always be questionable, mainly because, in my opinion, it's all a matter of perspective and analyzing the limitations of our ego.

Now, turning away from the shortcut of mixed egotistical and intuitive rambling, there is something in everything I've said that, even though it may not make sense, there is something that we cannot feel as true. We are part of the creation of something much greater than the grain of sand that we are on this plane.

Being a grain like this, but also being a grain of something greater, why so much fear?

Why run after so many things that will not serve us for anything other than to deceive us and pass the time until we have them? What sense does it even make to have them? Have what? If we came here as part of something greater, which may provide us with the ability to feel, why have it instead of just being here?

Be the truth, be authentic, be love, be joy and sadness, be right or wrong, but be the human that God allowed us to be!

I created the name "Be" a few years ago when I wrote some sentences and began on this path of spreading messages and trying to spread some love that could elevate the vibration of this plane. This name was created with this intention; although it could also be a diminutive of my name, that was not the reason why I used it. My intention was to say that you should be! Live, embrace, smile, cry, scream, be silent, and be human, because that's what you are here for! To see, to love, and to feel is to discover that maybe everything is really an illusion, but even so, it can be a magical illusion, because you can look and see that the sky and the earth are closer to each other than you ever thought, and that everything is temporary here, so why have anything if everything you have will be lost and will end? Be and feel, because that will be everything that goes with you when this school year ends.

In the rollercoaster of life, we must be grateful for the slow climbs as well as the steep descents, both of which make you feel. Shallow lives filled with straight lines and plains are not for me; I came to feel strong emotions! And you? What do you want from your life—the routine of having or the adventure of being?
