Usually, when I am in Spain, I encounter an unpleasant aspect of myself.
Nature is so magnificent in this place, and there is so little distraction, that every facet that is not in correspondence with the beauty around me is enlarged in a caricatural way.
Fortunately I usually bring some books that by mere ‘accidence’ show me the way out of the self created darkness.
This time it happened likewise.
The book is written by Deepak Chopra: Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul.
Chopra explains that our bodies are unlimited and that our brains are totally flexible, because at all times new neurological networks are being created.
When we keep repeating negative thoughts, neurons are fired in the corresponding network in the brain. The network grows and our bodies make us feel terrible as a result.
Tibetan monks do the opposite. By meditating on the idea of compassion the neurological network that corresponds with this state grows, which makes it easier for their bodies to produce this benevolent state.
Love, grace, truth, intelligence are present in the universe like waves of light.
We need do no more than open ourselves towards the light.
It is possible.
