#3. Life Lessons only Highly spiritual individuals know.
The worst part of being highly spiritual is knowing too much.
Highly spiritual beings see behind the scenes of the matrix. They know the trick. And that prevents them from really enjoying the magic of innocence.
Highly spiritual people seem naive, but they aren’t. Even when people take advantage of them, it is because they allow that to happen.
Highly spiritual people are hard to lie because they wear the bullsh*t x-ray glasses 24/7.
I meet a lot of Highly spiritual individuals because of my mother’s workplace.
She worked decades in an elite asylum for elderly nuns, clerics, exorcists, missionaries, cardinals, etc.
During all those years, I have listened carefully to the stories and advice of those highly spiritual people every time I visited my grandmother (who, as a favor to my mother, was admitted to the residence).
Here is a taste of the dark lessons I learned from their knowledge.
1. The universe sends you problems to keep you alive.
A nun told me once, “There are a lot of people who are 90 years old in this building that truly died at 40. That’s why Jesus says, be like kids if you want to enter heaven”.
“Heaven is now.” The nun confesses to me.
It’s a VIP party you can only enter with a card pass.
That card pass is engagement.
You have to engage with the dark situations the universe sends you to make you shine.
2. Illumination needs a bunch of Darkness.
My favorite quote was from a former exorcist who told me, “The darker the demon, the brighter the soul.”
Illumination needs a bunch of Darkness.
Adversity feeds the joy of living.
Grace is a source of holy water that birth from the spring of the enormous mountains of shit you face during your life.
Many people find meaning after facing their demons after their world breaks down to pieces.
That was my case. I discovered that the worst episodes of my life were necessary to generate tension. Because without tension, there is no movement.
Thanks to all the wrong things (my demons), I found the light at the end of the pit.
3. Don’t lose your sense of humor
In my mother’s residence, I met a hermit monk who had lived on a mountain in an old chapel for 80% of his adult life.
Despite his solitude, he was always happy and loved to joke with the tourists who occasionally visited him.
He once told me, “If I were to die today and I could only give one last piece of advice, it would be: don’t lose your sense of humor. It’s not that life isn’t serious. It is serious. But without a sense of humor, any paradise is hell. And with a sense of humor, any hell can be a paradise.”
Being optimistic is a tool. One that allows you to be efficient and functional.
The sense of humor is a shield. Use that shield because the darker your life gets, the more you need it.
