Harmony and Matter

By Federico Reyk

Heaven is here, with us, all the time and we can access it at any moment. The only problem is that we are not aware of that possibility.
Everybody would like to get in Paradise and spend the rest of the existence over there but, we dont have to go anywhere because Paradise is right here and we can start entering here and right now. We dont have to pass any test or evaluation process, but we do have to work hard to overcome the main obstacle in our way: matter.
The problems of being and the existence, in general, are usually very complicated issues to handle, but they are so mainly because of those, trying to rule over the search of the truth, with no real understanding of it and, even more, with very fundamental problems to communicate anything, have and are distorting and complicating things around, to the point we have to become professional philosophers, for instance, to try to understand the complications of philosophers that they, themselves, arent able to understand. Not to talk about politics and religion.
But, the truth is much simpler than that, and everyone can access his own truth, with the only inconvenience that it touches his relationship with his material life.
Harmony and Matter is a new perspective that might help see a little clearer the panorama of life all human beings are confronted with and all the ocean of confusion and chaos of ideas, mostly interested in preserving a material status of a very little spiritual existence that, in any case, is also very little important in the context of Universal life.
Everyone would like to know, also, some tips to live the best possible life and, Harmony, as the essence of the Universe, is the only answer we can find. Here youll find the reasons why.
Life is, certainly, not easy but is perfectly possible to find a recipe for a happy, healthier and creative life. There have been many attempts, in the past, to get to a comprehensive formula for happiness, from very different perspectives, and we can use as many as we want because most of them could be very useful. Harmony and Matter is just another one, from a very contemporary perspective, trying to dissect the relationship between matter and spirit, so basic in our daily life, in the most simple and clear possible way.
Reality is present with us, all the time, and we have no choice than trying to understand it the best we can, in order to live a better life.

HEAVENS ON EARTH

MISTERY OF LIFE

Everyone is born with an innate curiosity to unveil the mysteries of life and, fortunately for us, the only big mystery is just one: HARMONY. In principle, there’s nothing else we should be concern about and, for that reason, we relate Harmony to the word God.

From there we get: Universal Harmony, A Loving God, Eternal Harmony, God of Harmony, All Mighty God, Infinite Love and so many expressions referring to an only one same thing.

Harmony, being the Essence of the Universe, the Essence of all and everything, becomes the unifying element in God and with God

With Harmony as a main big goal in life, things may look way less complicated than usual. It simplifies tremendously the way we might set our goals and objectives in life.

Can you imagine how easy it would be to concentrate all our efforts in trying to work out Harmony in all our actions and thinking? And… just that.

Up to this point everything looks very clear and simple if not were for a factor that complicates everything around. And that factor is INFINITY. We’re talking here about concepts that are Infinite. That’s one of the most feared words for thinkers and scientist that are confronted to it at any moment when exploring life, matter and the Universe.

Harmony, as the essence of universe and the existence, in general, is incomprehensible to human intelligence but, somehow, we’re familiar with it. We’re part of it. We come from it and there’s where we’re going back to. So, it is not strange to us

We start now getting involved in a philosophical discussion that, fortunately too, has very practical implications in our personal lives, just because it touches a very important part on them. It touches our spirit and our spiritual lives.

Harmony becomes, this way, in a liberating element that would rescue us from the slavery of a materialistic life we’re living in, a life where we not even know where we come from and where do we go

Considering the effects that Harmony has in our lives, it becomes clear to us that it should become not only a priority but THE PRIORITY in our lives. There’s no other one.

We’re saying here that Harmony is the way. But, what is going to happen if we choose the way of Harmony? What can we expect from it? Why Harmony can be so important to us?

Evidently, by being born in a Universe of Harmony, we surely can take advantage of the goodies that Harmony brings and we can explore and discover at every step. We can start by getting a better understanding of ourselves and our nature and the real nature of everything around us.

A whole new world of unlimited fantasy will open up before us, just exactly like a newborn’s experience, in which we’ll be invited to fully and creatively participate by own decision. An additional ingredient of natural curiosity and enthusiasm will bring a different and new light in our lives.

Then we’ll start to realize how wrong we were in exclusively following the mandates of our material lives where we’re caught, and not even letting us to see a little farther ahead of our immediate material needs. Then we’ll understand we were condemned to a slavery that only would lead us to a sad physical and mental decadence and a final meaningless death.

We’ll start to understand that, whatever we do with Harmony and in Harmony is going to be good and will live us with the feeling we’ve done the right thing to do or the best we can, with no regrets or further worries. It will be like starting to experience Paradise right here on Earth.

It may seem unbelievable to wake up one morning to a bright brand new day, full of joy, peace of mind, happiness and love just because we wanted it, and we know is perfectly possible, and we can allow it into being that way, and there’s no reasons for being otherwise.

Not only will we solve our new or pending problems with plenty of Harmony but we’ll also learn from them and extract from them whatever positive to us

The only possibility for things not to happen this way is that we, ourselves, decide not to take the way of Harmony. We all know how easy is to give in into the problems, needs and temptations of material life. We know that, usually, life control us and we have very little control or not control at all on what happens with us. And we also know that this happens because we get much easily close and familiar with our matter than with our spiritual side and, most of the time, we get to realize it too late. But, hopefully, in eternal terms, never is too late.

If we discover the world of Harmony early in life, the sooner the better, we will be able to enjoy sooner all the benefits it brings. A whole world of infinite possibilities will open up before us and, with a creative attitude, we can become actors of our own lives, instead of just simple carriers of what destiny reserve for us.

HAPPINESS

It is very important to state very clearly that no happiness is possible without a minimum of Harmony. And no happiness will come to us if we expect it from the daily events of our material life, just because happiness comes from inside out and not the other way around. Any happiness coming from the fast passing events of our material life will be as unstable, changing and ephemeral as they are.

People normally think that happiness is going to come to us. That someone or something is going to bring it. Is common thinking that happiness is going to happen, if life meets some requisites or conditions very favorable to us. We will be happy if that special someone arrives into our lives; if we can get lots of money, enough to support an ideal family with no financial hazards and enjoy a perfect good health will allow us to enjoy all of the above… But, always, happiness is projected into the future: I will be happy if…, Happiness will come to me if…

It might happen sometimes that that someone or something special suddenly appears in our lives and we’ll enjoy a euphoric moment of happiness… until, as it normally happens, some problems will also appear in the horizon, and that will be the end of it. Then, we’ll start growing increasingly skeptical about happiness.

Nothing can be farther from the truth. Happiness is or is not, now, at this very moment. Happiness doesn’t exist in the future and, if we haven’t been happy in the past, the only possibility to be happy is now. But, there is good news: It is FREE, and we can get it at any time, at any moment, in any circumstances.

The idea should be then:

I’m happy just because I want it, and nothing and nobody can prevent it for being so

Unfortunately, there’s always that someone or something that is going to work against our happiness. In fact, everything and everybody may be opposed to it but, the main opposition could come from us, from ourselves.

Everything or everybody may oppose our happiness, but we still could be happy, despite everything and everybody but, if we, ourselves, are the ones opposing it, then there’s nothing that one can do about.

Happiness doesn’t depend on anything or anybody. It only depends on us, and there’s nothing or anybody we can blame on our unhappiness

It happens that, when we are around 18 years old, there is nothing or nobody we can blame any longer for what we are or we’re not. We can’t blame anymore nobody or nothing for our happiness or unhappiness.

Around that age, we start getting in command of our lives, and we better do it in the most mature and responsible possible way and, if we do it in the most harmoniously possible way, the better. Then we would be able to assume our own happiness.

But, it happens also that the odds of being in an optimal position to take a decision that important, is against us. At that age, we’re most likely driven by the problems of daily life that then, looks so big to us and nobody would convince us that they are really insignificant and unimportant.

The real problem of our problems is that we take them as problems and not as what they are: lessons of life. In truth, problems don’t exists unless we take them as problems

Life is no more than an endless sequence of problems of all kinds so, we better learn from them as much as possible, try to be happy despite of them and, further more, start using them to build our happiness, but a real one.

ESPIRITUALITY

What we call Spirituality is just the capacity we have
