How to recognize the symbols of life? Recognize, they are already there and have been throughout our life, wanting to tell us something. Maybe the moments that we have grown the most in our life was the moment when we recognized some symbols. Maybe it was the moment we chose to see, chose to grow. Because it's a decision, it may seem funny, we all want to grow, not always, not always. Sometimes our ambitions are others. Growing I call a very refined ambition, very philosophical. I remember an Oriental tale, a Buddhist tale, which says that one day Ananda,
one of the disciples of Buddha, comes to the master and says, Master, you are so wise, you know so much, why don't you go and tell all these things to people so that they are free from ignorance? Buddha decides to submit Ananda to a test. He says to him, look Ananda, do you see that village that is nearby? I'm seeing, of course, let's always go there. Go there and ask people what they want most. And he, more than excitedly, the opportunity to serve Buddha, he goes there and makes a statistic, asks from house to house
of that village, what people most wanted. Then he comes with the answer, right? Ibope and Buddhist, he comes with his statistic, then he comes to Buddha and says, look, of all the people in the community, half said they would like to have more resources, a little more money, a little more conditions to live more comfortably. Of that other half that was left, a quarter of all said that they would like to marry the children well, see the children grow up well, successful, healthy, and the other fourth that was left would like to have a long,
healthy and comfortable life. Then Buddha said, just that? Yes, just that. And how many said, yes, just that. And how many said they wanted wisdom? And Master, there was no one who said that, no. Not even one? No, none. So how do you want me to give wisdom to people if they don't want to receive it? Do you understand? So when we say we want to grow, we have to realize that not always. When we want to grow, life begins to move to help us. It realizes and gives the answer by bringing the necessary tools.
It is one of the things that we are going to talk about today is to know how to put questions, questions into life and know how to pay attention to the answers it brings. When we want to grow, all life moves to bring us the necessary tools, because life brings us in our favor. And that's the idea of symbolism. If we really want and put our will in growth, in wisdom, in the search for a more human level of consciousness, life will bring us the necessary ingredients for that. When we want other things, it also
brings us the opportunity to have other things or to lose them so that we can learn something. It will meet your deepest desires. But the ideal would be that we wanted to be human, because we came here for that, right? That we wanted to be truly human, in the fullness of the expression of the word, because then life will express its most beautiful, most precious symbols. So let's talk a little about this condition of life, to express itself symbolically. I always talk about etymology, the origin of the word. I think it's useful because we don't
know where the words come from, the words empty themselves. I usually say that the most used are the ones that empty themselves the most. And it's true. If you make a list of goodness, love, beauty, you will ask people what it is. There will be a lot of contradictory answers among themselves, all very superficial, except for very rare exceptions. Today it has come to the point of saying I love you, becoming a kind of bad taste, a little bit of a bad taste. It is already common. Because it means nothing else. Nobody knows what this
love that is being declared is. So it is very important for us to know what is being expressed with the words. So let's talk a little about symbolism. What does it mean? Symbol, what does it mean? This comes then from the verb balós, which is to throw ideas, and from sim. Sim is the same thing as syntony, as synchronicity, it is a prefix that means together. That is, to throw themselves together. What is that? What is throwing yourself together? What is he talking about? Imagine, Plato talked a lot about this, the existence of a plan
of ideas, which is where the matrix of everything that will exist down here is born. Things would first be thought in a divine mind, which he called the plan of ideas, and then they would be born here. Imagine that first there was the idea man, and then there was the human being properly said. And even if the man had never really existed, the idea man could already exist in the plan of ideas, waiting for an opportunity to manifest himself. So creation would nothing more than get an idea from the plan of ideas and bring it
down here, throw it from above and down, but remaining the same meaning, above and below, responding to the same idea. Up there, the origin, down here, the concretization, revolving around the same idea, serving the same ideal. That is, it was launched, but remained united. Got it? So if you have peace up there, and there's a white pigeon, the white pigeon was launched into the world to be a symbol, but it remains united to that concept that is up there. That is, peace expresses itself through it, as a good symbol, as a good representative of this
idea. Sometimes when we see a flying white pigeon, we think, peace, regardless, of course, we were culturally conditioned for that, regardless of the circumstances, we look at it and realize the idea behind it. When the symbol is a good symbol, it is a very effective emitter, very effective in the message it brings. So the symbol is this. It is something that down here represents, well or badly, an idea, because the symbols also distort. Symbols are also being stirred throughout history, and sometimes they lose their efficiency. At some point they mean almost nothing. We see a
lot of pop art today, t-shirts that put Michelangelo statues, that put colorful, various-colored Renaissance paintings, sometimes with little balls, with I don't know what. It is logical that, in the end, it is a symbol. And all this popularization, because in general these works were very symbolic, this popularization removes many elements of symbolism. And it becomes a cute, funny, colorful thing, but as a symbol it has already been lost. So the symbol has moments when it deteriorates and dies, and stops transmitting a message. But in principle it would be this, something that is down here, but
that represents very well an idea that is up there, is united to it in some way. So let's keep thinking about this, focusing on this something that was launched from the plan of ideas to the concrete plan. Is life symbolic? Is it? This is the fundamental question we are going to discuss today. There is only a chance for life to be symbolic if life has a purpose. Because the symbol is a symbol that points to take you to some idea. For that, you need to want to get there. If life has a point of arrival,
it wants to take everyone to the fullness of the human condition, then it is possible that it creates symbols. Because the symbol is a little arrow pointing to the world from where it came. And the little arrows pointing to some place only serve if you want to go there. If you are aware and want to make this displacement. So there is something that is fundamental. You believe that the world is cosmos and not chaos. That things don't happen for nothing. That all of them have a meaning. And that life wants to take you to a
place that is the fullness of the human condition. Values, virtues and wisdom. When you learn to speak the language of life, everything it manifests as a symbol points to this goal. That is, life is intelligent, it is not chaotic and it is directed, it has a purpose. It knows where it wants to take you. And the true symbols help you to go in that direction. Did you understand that well? So, premise. Who believes that the world is chaos will not want to know about symbols. This has no meaning, there is no possibility. Symbols will point
to where if no one wants to get anywhere. So I always use this example. If you want to build a house, first you hire an architect. Who goes there and makes the house's plant. Then comes the engineer, comes the master of works, starts building looking at the plant. Knowing where he wants to go. And that's why he has a chance to really build your house the way you want. If he didn't have a plant, didn't know what he was building, he wouldn't do anything. He would spread construction material everywhere and would do nothing. We also
don't have a goal. A plant of what we want to build in us. We don't do anything. We spread energy, life, to every corner in a totally scattered way. And we don't do anything. And life then has a goal and is intelligent. These are two fundamental premises for us to get into the subject of the symbol. Because then, of course, if I want to get somewhere, the symbols are signposts that point there. When I want to reach the human ideal, I understand the symbolic mentality. I see that all the symbols point to that. All the
symbols point to that human ideal. Which is even a way for us to distinguish what is truly a symbol from what is a fantasy of our part. Which can very well happen. Let's talk about that later. Then a tenuous thread, where we have to be very lucid to know if we are fantasizing, inventing symbols. What are really symbols that we have noticed from nature. The theory of responsibility is a name that I usually attribute to an idea of the Stoic philosophers. The theory of responsibility is a name that I usually attribute to an idea of
the Stoic philosophers. The theory of responsibility is a name that I usually attribute to an idea of the Stoic philosophers. Emperor Marco Aurelio, the great Stoic philosopher. I think most of you must have heard of Stoicism, because it is now in fashion. It is a very important moral school, very significant from the past. As we are in a very violent moral crisis, everyone goes after moral schools. So Stoicism is everywhere, there are books even for Wall Street, because the businessmen decided to be Stoic. So it's very fashionable. Marco Aurelio was a Stoic philosopher. He has
this phrase that I call the theory of responsibility. He says the following, Nothing happens to man that is not his own. So nothing happens to Lucia, for example, that is not Lucia's own. To each one of you that is not yours. In other words, things do not come by mistake, things do not go wrong. They come to us exactly because our need for experience to grow has invoked these things into our lives. It's like we came to the world and said, It's like we came to the world with a encrypted card, of the experiences that
I have to go through to grow. I came here to stop my cholera, to stop my anxiety, to organize myself better. Let's say I have these defects and I want to, in this life, to polish these cracks, to get rid of these defects. Everything that can provide the experience that helps you get rid of these defects tends to be attracted to your life, as if it were a magnetic card. Why? Because your need for experience is calling. So nothing happens to man that is not his own. This is very interesting because it is a thought
that helps us banish the idea of accident. Things happen to me by chance, by chance. I think this story of chance is a very curious concept. Why would Cargas Dago, a human being, be lucky? Because he was awarded in some cosmic competition so everything goes wrong for him? What is chance? This is absolutely without logical foundation. It makes no sense for anyone to be lucky. He may be having a series of negative experiences that want to lead him to another direction, which is not the one he is taking. But it is not a coincidence. Life
is all pedagogical. He wants to say something about it. So sometimes very skeptical people, when we talk about a life directed and with meaning, believe in chance. I do not believe in chance. Honestly, no. I think it is an invention without any logic. No one is unlucky. There are repetitive experiences that are trying to say something. So? Life is all symbolic. Learning to read. This is very important for us to realize. We are going to talk here about a dimension of symbols. A dimension that has a lot to do with a theory by Carl Gustav
Jung, the great psychiatrist. In his analytical psychology he talked about synchronicities. I'm going to talk a lot about synchronicities. But symbolic language is much more than synchronicities. Imagine that I want to say something to one of you and you do not want to hear me. I insist. It's important. Look at me here. I want to talk to you. And you do not pay attention. And you turn to everything that is on the side. And you talk to another person. And I'm there trying to talk to you. And one hour I lose patience. Because patience can
be a lot. But one hour ends. I lose patience and I hold you by the shoulders and shake you. Hear what I'm trying to tell you. Well shaken. This is a synchronicity. Life is already appealing to you. So when a synchronicity happens. Oops! I was off. Because she is already leaving for the days of fact with you. They are very strong facts and very explicit. She really held your shoulders and is shaking. It means that she gave several indications before and you did not want to see. Maybe it even gives you to remember the previous
facts and see that you were already being led to that. But gently was not enough. You needed life to peel a little bit. Then comes the synchronicities. But life as a whole is symbolic. And this symbolic life manifests itself in the simple facts of every day. There is an oriental tradition that says that life is entirely pedagogical. If there was a moment that had nothing to teach us. It would have been taken from our life. Because life does not leave gaps. Nature does not leave gaps. If there was a moment in your life that has
nothing to teach you. It would have been taken from your life. So if you are still there. So if you arrive at your window in the mornings. This view of the window in the mornings is very romantic. Every little scene, every thing you see. Every moment of your day that you stop a little of the mechanisticity. And look at the world around you. Every moment is wanting to tell you something. And when we can decode these moments. It's wonderful because you realize that it was fundamental to you. It was what you needed to hear. I
usually tell a lot in my lectures. Maybe some know these examples. I use some very constantly. The example of the rain. We are looking out the window and a heavy rain comes. The heavy rain shakes the trees violently. It's a beautiful show. I don't know if you've seen it. A little violent but beautiful. A tree shaking with the wind and the rain. It's a beautiful storm. After the storm passes. That bunch of leaves on the ground is beautiful too. Then you look and say. Wow, nature knows how to do beautiful things. Even when it's destroying.
Then you look away a little. Look at a newly built apartment building. Already ugly. Badly finished. Already with infiltrations. Then you say. Wow, human beings do beautiful things until they build. And nature does beautiful things until it destroys. There's something strange about it. What is the principle of man's action that is so different from that of nature? Then if you stop a little to reflect. You will realize that nature follows rigorously the laws of nature. What is called Dharma in the East. The arm of God extended over the cosmos. The law that leads all beings
to evolution. Nature does not deviate. It complies rigorously with this law. While the human being deviates. It has free will and can deviate. And by deviating it does things that do not lead to universal good. But to selfish desires on its part. Instead of following Dharma, it follows karma. What is it looking for in that building? The minimum cost with the maximum value. And the minimum cost with the maximum value. The minimum cost with the maximum profit. And sometimes something that is ready for a year is already ugly. It's already badly finished. It's already showing
signs of aging. That is, when you look at these two things. You are looking at nature. The photography of Dharma and karma. Nature is always beautiful. Dharma. The things we do. Ugly. Karma. In an observation like this you learn to see Dharma and karma in front of you. Simply looking at a storm in the window. Is it a teaching? Wow. I was looking to observe. There were times in my life when I said the following. Every day at least one teaching. It was a time that drove me crazy. Because I had to be attentive all
the time. And decoding. Because a lot of things come. But we don't always manage. But very fruitful. It was very interesting. One day like this, there in the backyard of my house. It rained. And I wanted to pull all the water to the drain. Because the backyard, the cement was badly placed. It has levels. So the water tends to run to the lowest places. And makes a dirty puddle there with dirt. I there with the rod pulling that water to the drain. Suddenly I realized that it escaped me from the sides and went to the
puddle. I said my conscience is just like that. If I don't feel like taking it in the right direction. It goes to the lowest and dirtiest point. If I'm not attentive to that. It goes. To the lowest and dirtiest point. If there is no will. If there is no determination. Things flow to the most comfortable. That is, lower and in general dirtier. An observation of this type because of the roll in the pool in the backyard. Is there a message there? There is. There is a message everywhere. For all corners. I used to take objects
with my students in the classroom. Inside the room and tell me what the symbolism of this is. Then one time I took a chair. And we found out that the chair has two ideas in it. One that is the ability to give direction. The ability to give rest. That is, your four legs. They are the ability to balance. They are balance. And the other is the shell where you sit. That is the possibility of giving rest. That is, the virtue of balance. And the virtue of generosity. That receives you so favorably. So that you rest.
In nature this gave a wonderful result. Because the chair is an indispensable object. The junction of balance with generosity. Imagine that if I join these two virtues in other planes. Will not it also give fantastic results? I believe so. In the behavior of a human being. Together with balance and generosity. Look what a great man you will not have. That represents in the human plane. What the chair does in the plane of inanimate beings. It gives a moment of rest. It gives a moment of consolation. It helps the tired walker. That is, a chair has
a teaching to give you. A ladder has a teaching to give you. The whole world is symbolic. And it is trying to speak every moment. And there is still a detail. That is important. Because a symbol does not have a single meaning. There is a writer of which I like a lot. Of the 19th century. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. A great philosopher. Helena Blavatsky said that every symbol is a house with seven keys. With seven doors. As you go deeper into yourself. You are taking more layers of the symbol. Deeper layers. The same symbol. I take
it now. I decode this symbol. According to my conscience now. Then I go there in five years. If I grew up in this time of five years. When I look at this same symbol. I will see deeper things. Take a book that is very interesting. That has given you a great learning. Keep that copy. So you don't say that the book was different. Keep that copy. In five years. In the time frame that you believe that it has grown. Go there and read the same book again. Marked by you. The same book. The same book.
You will see things that you say. No, it's not possible. It should not be the same book. This was not here when I read it for the first time. And it was. You were not prepared to see. Has this ever happened to you? To redo a reading and understand much more. It means that the conscience has shifted. And therefore access to deeper content of the symbol. According to Helena Blavatsky. This happens seven times. Until you reach the heart of the symbols. And the symbols are all scaled. I go deeper. I'm taking layers closer to the
world of ideas. Closer to the world of ideas. It says that a symbol can take man to God. As he pulls him to meanings. Each time deeper. Until you cross and get there in the plan of ideas. Spiritual plan. Ideal plan. Therefore, they all have levels of depth. But none of them stays silent in front of us. If we want to hear. If we look at things with the spirit of a learner. For all corners of your life have symbols. And some sensational. But in everyday life. This is not synchronicity. This is simply the pedagogy
of life. It's something we should and should learn to do. Yes. Should and should. Only they are more subtle. Therefore, they require a great spirit of learning. They demand that you are putting questions back to life. It requires that you are seeing the answers. That you believe. Carl Jung said that, even. That synchronicities. They usually do not happen to the one who is predisposed not to believe. Because it's like nature speaks. If she does not speak to those who do not hear. So if you are looking for answers in life. You will realize that life
moves with several symbolic facts. To give you this answer. Sometimes discreet. And sometimes more intense. As a synchronicity. But the ideal would be that we learn to dialogue with life as a whole. That you do not need to get to the cornerstone. Of synchronicity. That we could be attentive. And learn to speak this language of life. All the time. That would be the ideal. Right? There are more explicit moments. They are exactly the synchronicities we are going to talk about. Can you dialogue with life? This is an example. I usually say that I will make
a list of my most common examples. And this would be among the first places. Everyone should know. That is the example of the queue. Remember? You enter a queue. The queue you entered does not walk. And the neighbor's line walks. The neighbor on the other side also walks. Then you say. What a shame! What a shame! Let me change the line. Come here. What happens? This line stops walking. And the one you were walking. Then it happens. Where? In the supermarket. In the bank. In traffic. In all the places you go. And you react as?
Wow, how unlucky I am. This could happen to you. Not to me. This is a totally random vision. And you react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You
react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? You react as? I will try to correct. Then you realize that sometimes we get it right, that's it, the experiences stop happening, that same fact does not happen anymore continuously, that is, life told you, you heard it, now it went to another scene. As in the school series, I understood what was in the first series, I go to the second, I go to the third. Our entire pedagogical method is nothing
more than an imitation of the pedagogical method of nature. When we start to position ourselves in front of the messages that they send, and to change, reposition ourselves in front of life, you realize that the messages are changing. This at the end, after a few years, you will have huge curiosity. You get the impression that there is a interlocutor in the corridors of life chatting with you, sending, he sends a ball , you take it, position yourself, he sends another. You are under the impression that there is someone in the advertisements of life talking to
you, of the curiosity to see the face of this hidden interlocutor who is communicating with you. You learned to speak the language of life. The language of life is a symbol and there is really to prepare us more and more, to believe, to give a vote of confidence for life, for nature, that it is cosmos and not chaos, that there is no chance and start establishing this dialogue so that you can see how things are happening synchronously and how intelligent the movement of life is, how it brings you exactly what you needed. Make our best
and observe what life brings us. This is an observation that I made for a very concrete case that I have lived in the past and that I would like to warn you. We, as readers of symbols of life, are beginners, all of us. We are still learning how to do it. So it is very likely, as I said at the beginning, that our fantasy takes advantage of the situation and begins to teach symbols where it does not have to lead us to do what we want. And out of inexperience, we trust too much and really
take that direction. I had a student many years ago, from this experience that I was talking about, this student was a young man who had a certain difficulty in getting into the job market. He lived with his parents and had this difficulty. One day he told me, look, I received an employment offer. I said, wow, how wonderful. He, no, but I refused. Why did you refuse? It's because I went to the window to observe what life told me. Then came a set of yellow butterflies. The butterfly is a symbol of freedom, so I understood that
I was not supposed to accept the job. I made that landscape smile that we have to do. I made that landscape smile that we have to do. But in me there was one single word I servants. How foolish, Report file. That is not obvious. It seems like a joke, but this happened. So be very careful, because the symbols may point towards the Individual! If there is something that is pointing you to a weakness that you want, you are willing to get there, he didn't want to accept that job. Life was too comfortable. pointing to this
comfort zone and you suspect that the noble, the just and the good is here, opt for the noble, the just and the good. Because you probably didn't understand the symbol, you probably created a fantasy. So, in doubt, always what is your duty as a human being, the highest. Because the true symbol has to be pointing there, to the noblest. If it is not, it is because it was not. It was not really a symbol. Symbol pointing to laziness, what kind of symbol is that? Symbol pointing to weakness, it doesn't exist. So be careful so that
we can be serious in our work of identifying the symbols of life. Do not fall into paradoxes of the yellow butterflies, which after that I found out that they are very dangerous. Continuing. Indices of symbolism, the key to synchronicity. I will talk to you again about synchronicities later. Synchronicity was one of the last books that Carl Jung wrote in his life about synchronicity. It was a research that he did for many years. He was accompanied by a physicist, a mathematician, made experiences of randomness, made statistics to conclude that it was really not by chance. He
did countless experiments, taking people who had synchronicity and researched mathematically what the probability of that happening by chance. The probability of those two things so similar to happen at the same time. And gave a minimum, unquestionable percentage, the risoria possibility of that was a coincidence. So he did a series of tests. His idea is that synchronicity is a sequence of noncausal events. One did not cause the other, but one relates to the other through their message, their content. They can happen at the same time, one reinforcing the other. This can have happened in a long
time in the past, but the news is to catch up to you because at that moment, it reel-y, to kill you, that is the fluency Commun 활obiata in a very filt. Hem linguistics. Psych longing. Take advantage of what I said before. A serious對 ivel 바 pretended Throw away the ibabiala across a line of zob. It was the time that many journalists and lightstrangers were addicted to York hammer back to Privat peng soon after books that were published centers of mystery in the United States of this comes to you now, you may see this in the
future, but the fact is that two elements, which can even be old, this one is new, but this one has arrived in your consciousness now, reinforcing this new element that is here. In other words, they are simultaneous things, not causal, but directly connected by the identical message they have, they speak of the same thing. And Carl Jung was very serious and he said that one of the fundamental elements that he would like to do if he lived longer was to research more deeply the mechanism of synchronicity, which shows a level of intelligence in life that
is undeniable, it is undeniable and something that is statistically feasible to be proven that it cannot be a coincidence. It is very unlikely that it is a coincidence. Some of you, I think many, maybe all of you, have examples of out-of-the-ordinary synchronicities in life. I have already lived an example of synchronicity, which was a phenomenal thing. I did not imagine that something like that could happen at that level and it is difficult for someone to prove to me that something like that was by chance. Very difficult. So let's talk a little about the traces of
these synchronicities that happen in our lives. How to recognize elements that may be wanting to tell you something. Traces of synchronicities that are wanting to point out to you a content, a meaning. That sometimes we are so alienated, so superficial that even a synchronicity, which is not a synchronicity, is not a synchronicity, is not a synchronicity. It is a synchronicity. Very intense, goes through us and we ignore it. It passes through us and we give a value and we do not stop to analyze. So see some common elements throughout our trajectory of synchronicities throughout life.
To see if we learn, draw a little attention and learn to recognize them. Symbolic clues, keys to synchronicities. Repeating events. There is a boy who did not pass in the first series and then he did it again, he did not pass again. He is always learning that same thing. The alphabet letters. Why are the alphabet letters repeating in his life? Because he does not learn, he does not go ahead. Repeating events tend to indicate, there is a strong probability for that, tend to indicate something that you are refusing to learn. So it's like if you
were a boy who was rejected in the first series. He's always learning those alphabet letters, those vowels, those vowels. Why are those experiences so repetitive? Because you were already about to have learned, the first time they came. Did not learn, they are running after you. Which is fundamental, this is the basis so that later you can read, write, do a lot of more complicated things. So that you learn to read life, you need to first understand this here that she is trying to tell you. So that chases you. And whoever looks from the outside usually
sees more easily than we do. This is an element that I find ungrateful in human trajectory. People are as alienated that sometimes those who are worse off looking are just us. Do you notice that for example there are people, because it is not so uncommon that it seems they have a board in their head searching for this type of person. For example, sometimes a young woman who is always involved with taking advantage men who want to take advantage of her. She's is always being deceived. And it is something amazing what people you see her stepping
out one by going energy through the other with the same psychological profile. She is not aware of that. She is not aware that she has a light on her head. Enjoyer, I arrived. A magnetic force that if you have a enjoyer in a 1 km radius will reach her. For some reason she is needing to live that experience, but needs to learn from the experience to be able to move on. And she suffers, she feels like a victim, she cries, asks why that happens to her, but does not learn. And if you don't learn, you
don't get out of there. And everyone, you will see that her whole family knows, the neighbors know, the people, her workmates even make fun of it. When some bandit appears in the newspaper, and does not let that person know. Everyone plays, everyone makes jokes, everyone knows, except her, she does not see. It is curious, right? This tendency is not to see certain things in our life. Repetitive events are very common. It is very common that it is a lesson that you are refusing to assimilate. It is very common that it is something that nature needs
to tell you and you are not wanting to see. I used to play with a student of mine once. I used to say to him that there are certain things that we lie so much, we mask ourselves, that there are certain things about ourselves that the building's doorman knows better than us. Then he told me that he was going to disguise himself and go to his building and ask things about himself. . To shorten the path of self-knowledge. It may have worked, right? It may have been a good resource. So try to be attentive to
the repetitive elements of life, suffering from the same thing. Sometimes it is not even a negative element, it can be even a positive element. It is wanting to show you something. Generally pleasant or unpleasant events, very repetitive, they have a message that you are not yet decoding. And that you need to learn. And in general it comes from pain, in most cases. They are heavy, unpleasant events. But it can be the opposite too. Observe. Where am I stuck? What are the repetitive experiences that I have been going through throughout history? Whenever I have a proof,
it is because I was proud. Whenever I have a proof, I lose a proof, it is because I am a choleric person and I do not contain myself in critical moments. Look throughout life, the opportunities you lost, it was not just for one thing, it was not a defect. Take a look. All the doors that closed for me were because I was stubborn. All the doors that closed for me were because I was proud, because I was impatient. I did not have patience to live with people. Take a look at these, let's say, constants of
life. Take a look at these constant elements of your equation. It may be that then you already see a lot of things. We all have repetitive elements in our lives. And they are highly significant. Take a look. So repetitive events are the first thing for you to do to be observing life's messages. It is the first component of synchronicity. Moving on. People we attract. I also lived in relation to this another fact. Look, let me tell you, with 33 years of teaching, I have lived everything you can imagine of experience with a student. And there
are some that were precious to set an example in a lecture. This one, for example, was. A student came to me one day and told me, professor, I have a very serious problem at work. What happened? Can I help you with anything? Yes, I'm hoping you can help me. Because I work with ten people in the same division. There are ten boring people. How can I bear something like that? Then I had to be very calm and tell him that he probably needed experience. He needed to live with boredom. I told him that he needed
experience. He needed to live with boredom. He needed to live with boredom. He needed to live with boredom. He needed to live with boredom. He needed to live with boredom. He came with this need for experience to the world. And therefore people are not boring to oppose him. They are boring because it is the best they have managed to be. But they entered his life because he called. You did a contest for boring and these are the approved ones. Maybe so that you find out that you are very impatient. Maybe so that you find out
that you have to learn more tolerance. Or maybe so that you find out that the only boring one there is you. Which is also a possibility, isn't it? So people we attract, they indicate a lot. The people who enter our life, the profile of the people who enter our life. The profile of those we accept well and those we accept by swallowing dry. They are all elements that we accept in ourselves, elements that we reject. The people who usually, sometimes it is repetitive too. The people who usually enter my circle of relationships. Who work with
me, who live by my side, who enter my circle of relationships. What are the profiles? And how do I react to that? So I know if I know how to deal with these elements inside me. I know if I'm dealing well with things inside me, by the way I react to them outside. And this is also very Jungian. He spoke of it, he called it transfer. If I am a person who is disorganized but I do not want to face this problem, I have difficulty assuming this problem, it is very likely that there are several
disorganized around you in life. And you will hate them. Because you are wanting to sweep this defect under the carpet. And they force you to look. What you don't want to see inside, life forces you to look outside. This is not conscious. But unconsciously we reject. Because I don't want to see something and this person is forcing me to look at this something. So what I reject is very likely something I didn't see in me. What I accept well is an element that I've seen. Interesting because if you know, for example, that you have the
laziness problem. Fight to overcome it. It's not that you don't know. You have a difficulty, you can do well, you have the laziness over control. If a lazy person appears around you, you have no anger. Nor do you have patience. His sensitivity, compassion, poor thing, will get a little bit. I know what he's going to go through. With this defect I know exactly what he's going to suffer. I have compassion. If I violently reject the observation that I am a disorganized person, that I am a lazy person. When a disorganized and lazy person appears in
my life. It's torture. So when I talk to a person, I tell her, look, you have such a problem. The person tells me, I know teacher. I'm fighting against it. I'm doing my best. I'll be able to overcome it. I'm calm. You've seen it. Now if you come to a person and say, look, you have such a problem. Me? No, you're seeing badly. You don't know me right. No, I've never had this problem. Complicated. Very complicated. Created a whole set of defenses. I'm not going to do it. Maybe because he doesn't support. Maybe because he
doesn't want to. Created a lot of defenses to not see. A mask is very rigid. It's very difficult. So once again, of the things that we attract to our lives, the people who enter our circles of relationship and the type of relationship we establish also says a lot about ourselves. It's a good way for you to compose this. We didn't come here to meet ourselves, right? Isn't it one of the fundamental things in life? Know who we are. These facts are a trace that we have to follow. We have to know who we are. We
have to know who we are. We have to know who we are. We have to know who we are. We have to know who we are. We have to know who we are. We have to know who we are. In the traces you see who was the makeover. This here are hações dizzy animal. They are taken from that animal. They are taken by a human being. By the trail you know the makeover. Then you industries and your trail. The people who came into my life, what was the profile. Those who I gave myself to good,
those I gave myself bad. There are some so-called legal judges. the coincidence between these profiles, all the people I've seen in bad were like that, so I have a problem with this way, I have a problem with this defect, what is it that exists behind it? This is an excellent synchronicity, the coincidence of psychological profiles that appear in your life, learn to analyze them, a good indication for you to get to know yourself better. What else? Our defects and evidence that arise, it is possible to get to know ourselves better by analyzing our evidence, this
is also sensational. The very first thing is for you to realize that the problems you live are evidence, realizing this is already a big thing, we don't accept it, we think they are coincidences, that it is a coincidence, that it could have happened to someone else, that I am unlucky, it is the worst thing that has, because it generates the feeling of injustice and, in the end, I feel like a victim. The universe is against me, the universe is casual and it fell, it was given to be drawn, like that random selection at the airport
to pass the federal police exam, the cosmic federal police chose me. So this is terrible, victimization is terrible, you don't grow anything, you don't learn anything, you keep complaining and looking for culprits and when we complain and look for culprits, the culprit is the one who has to change, we don't change anything, we don't grow. When you know that an event is a proof, you will be much calmer because you know that it is not to knock you down, it is to promote you to another level, but it has to demand from you some previous
knowledge, it has to demand from you a certain behavior. Imagine you, that I took one of you here from New Acropolis, let's say, Catarina left and went to the toilet, then I'll match you with something. We will say that there was a draw for one person to come here in front and summarize everything I said so far in the lecture. And let's say that the draw was Catarina, when she arrives we give this news. If she doesn't know anything, she comes in here and we do that, she will panic, right? What am I going to
say, my God, it will be horrified, she will suffer the curse, but if before entering she had heard our conversation out there, our tramoia, and knew that it was just a test to see if she has emotional problems, wouldn't it be much easier? I would calmly get here in the room, get up here on stage and say, I will summarize everything in one phrase by philosopher Socrates, I just know that I don't know anything, bye, good night. And the problem is over. When we know that difficulties are proofs, it is much easier. That it is
not some monstrous thing that is chasing me, it is not something that wants to promote me, let me behave in the best possible way, let me try to give my best. ists the difficulty of life as proofs is already a great confirmation of the symbolism of life. It's already. They are proofs that want to promote me, behind this there is something. As Kael Jung himself said, when you approach a portal, the dragon that keeps this portal arises , if you have never tried to cross this portal, he puts on your tail to out, you think
it has nothing there. But when you get too close, the dragon appears. Sometimes the proof comes exactly because we are trying to grow, I want to walk though this door, so it I'll walk by. it looks like the dragon. If I never tried to pass through any door, maybe I would never see the dragon. So the tests are a sign that I'm trying to move forward and they are not random, they are exactly the tribute you have to pay to take the next step, as if it were the pedigree for you to go ahead on
your growth path. So our defects and the tests that arise, there is a evidence between them. These are tips on things I would like you to really do so you can make this observation. One day remember, take a sheet of paper so it gets more concrete, only you, alone, and remember the hardest tests in your life. And try to imagine what the defect that you had was that called a test from that one. It's not hard to see that a test hits a clear point. I lost everything I had. Well, then it was either you
were too ambitious, or you were just too ambitious. Now I'm trying to understand what I was doing wrong. I'm trying to understand or you were very attached to material things, there must be some reason for life to take these material things from you, for you to find something. I was enslaved to the material, I was very ambitious, I was very materialistic. You can imagine what it could be. Here I did such a thing, I was betrayed. You can imagine. Why am I being so superficial in my knowledge of other people? Why am I not knowing
how to judge the other? Because I probably don't even know myself, what will the other say? I need to analyze things in greater depth. Go asking your tests all your life, so you can understand what the defects are, because maybe they are still there. And maybe these tests will still come to repeat themselves. If you ask your tests who you are, they will show you what defect they came to flatten, what is the mark they came to sand. So it's very interesting to use the difficulties, the tests, to know yourself. And it's a synchronicity that
happens exactly for that. I consciously realize what the mark is, what I have to stop. And I'm going to polish this mark without having to take so much beating from life. It's much better, much easier. So a good chance, a good door to understand this symbolism of life. Remember, I'm putting some very superficial elements for you. Of course, if we analyze more deeply, we can find in these symbols deeper things, as I told you. I'm just putting the entry door, the most superficial level of interpretation. So that we can start and enter this world of
interpretations. And the more we mature, the more we can enter deeper layers, which elevate us more and more. The more we perceive deep symbolism in life, it means our consciousness has gone up a step. And that's very good to see. Very pleasant to see. Because that's what we came for. We're here for that. What else do we have here? Knowledge that appears to us at the right time. Sometimes before the need to show up. Have you ever lived that? You take a book and randomly open it on a page. You go for nothing. You decide
to browse the book. Pah! It falls on a page. That's exactly the proof you're passing. Or that you don't even know yet, but it will pass on the next corner. Has this ever happened to you? Or you receive, I don't know, a message from someone who doesn't even know you. Sends a serial through the internet. You get that exactly when you're living that proof. I remember that once I was in a meeting, participating in a meeting. It was a decision-making moment. It was a difficult meeting. It was a meeting a little tense. A person stood
up behind the meeting and came to me with a piece of paper. Lucia, could you translate this for me later? A person who had never asked me for anything. Then I went to see what it was that she was giving me to translate. It was exactly what I needed to hear to make that decision at that meeting. Exactly. It was disconcerting. In other words, messages that sometimes come to us at the moment or earlier through several things. A book. A speech by someone. And so it's amazing. It can happen. It has already happened to me
too and I'm sure it's happened to you. Just pay attention. Some incredible things happen in our lives. I remember that once I was also having to make a decision. I was in doubt. Most of our pains come from there, right? Decisions that we are trying to see better. And I was walking, walking, walking in the morning. And then I was thinking, is that really it? Do I really have to make this decision? Is that the best? And walking on and on and on. And that was the moment that I realized that I had to make
that decision. And I was thinking, is that really it? Do I really have to make that decision? Do I really have to make that decision? and I was walking, walking, doing my morning walk. And then thinking, is that really it? Do I really have to make this decision? Is this the best? And walking, several people walking in the morning, a little gentleman came there, doing his Cooper, and I thinking, is that what I do? He came doing his Cooper, he passed by me, raised his head and said, that's it, that's it. And he left. And
I was looking at him, and he left, walking, doing his Cooper, the same way he came. How come, my dear? How come? Who are you? Sometimes, synchronicity, when this kind of thing happens, I keep thinking, I've been deaf for a long time, life is burying me. Which is a strong burying. Synchronicity is a strong burying. She should have been saying that for a long time, and I wasn't listening. The most subtle symbols of life I passed by. And I was like, oh, I'm going to die. So she got the days, in fact. Because that's getting
the days, in fact. Come on, let's go. With an intensity that is not a joke. The teacher caught the student and is there, almost killing him. Learn! Because he tried anyway. So don't take it as something very positive, no. It's a tremendous charm that nature is giving you. It was already to have seen. I had to get to this point to show you. So it is very common to happen these messages that come to us. In many ways. Sometimes it's a propaganda you received on the street. There is that phrase that you needed. That's what
you were thinking. It was what you needed to hear. It comes exactly at the time. Who has ever lived something like that? It is not uncommon. It is not uncommon. It happens a lot. Sometimes out of disbelief, we don't accept it. We don't believe that it can make any sense. What else do we have of synchronicities in life? Very current, very common. Doors that closed in the past. Doors that closed in the past. Seen from our present. You stop to analyze your past and say, I wanted so much to have done such a university course.
I wanted, I worked hard for that degree. And I didn't pass, I had to do another. And you look now, knowing you as you know. Knowing your inclinations, your tastes. You look and say, the best thing that happened to me was not to have passed this degree, never. It doesn't happen. Sometimes in perspective we see doors that closed in our past. And see, thank God this door closed. Thank God there is something more intelligent than me interfering in my life. Because if this door had been opened, I would have been too bad in life. I
would have made foolish choices. So now looking in perspective to the past, I see how beautiful this door is. If it weren't for her, I would have been bad. And then you realize the synchronicity of life pushing you in the direction of less resistance. Taking you in the direction you have to go. I brought a text. The name of a text that you can look for on the internet. Many of you must already know. It's a very funny text by Luiz Fernando Verissimo. It's called Versões de Mim. Very funny. He says he arrives at an
imaginary bar. In his head, he was there drinking a beer. And then he thinks about his past. Does anyone know Versões de Mim? He is there thinking about his past. He thinks, if I had passed that test to play in Botafogo. If I had passed that public contest. If I had married Doralice. My God, how would my life be? Suddenly, a person sits next to him. When he looks at the citizen, he is the same age as him, the same face as him. He says, who are you? I am you if I had passed to
Botafogo. You would start to play, you would do well. But there comes a time when you would lose a penalty. The team would hate you and you would fall into ostracism. No one would remember you anymore. Then the other sits next to him. Who are you now? I am you if I had not lost that penalty. I would have been very scared. I would have gone out shooting the balls. One day I would shoot a ball and a player would kick my head. I would have an eternal problem. Living, retired by INSS. Then came another.
I am you if I had not played in Europe. If I had not, I do not know what. Then comes another one. I am you if I had passed the public contest. Then comes, one was betrayed. The other lost the promotion. A lot of people sat like that. One was fighting with the boss. The other was fired. Soon the bar was full of versions of him. Then he looked at that and came to the conclusion that the best one there was him. Then he calls the waiter. You see this thing here? Who is better here
is me. Then the waiter said, it's true. When he looks, the waiter was also him. Then he asks, who are you? I am you if you were married to Doralice. I think this text is great. It's true. Who did best there was himself. It's funny, a funny proposal from Veríssimo, but at the same time with a lot of philosophical depth. Maybe things were better the way they happened. You realize this synchronicity within your life. Closing doors here, opening there, pushing you in the right direction. Of course, many times it pushes and we don't go. We
force doors and we get hurt. He could have burned out of wanting to throw the firecracker and closed all the other doors and try not to be able to anymore. Maybe it would pass some day. But if he flows according to life, these doors will naturally close and he goes down the best path. So looking at it in perspective, we realize that there was some intelligence there. That it was not a casual thing. The directions we took had some intelligence that either tried to stop you or actually prevented you. So that you were not in
that direction. And you now understand that these impediments were actually a positive karma, as they say in the East. They were a good thing. They prevented you from getting hurt in life. So it's very interesting to analyze this. I'm trying to make you see synchronicities. By seeing synchronicities, you start to pay more attention to them. You can learn from them. Facts of life that show that synchronicities exist. What else do we have here? What else do we have here? Words heard from someone at the right time. Very similar to that other one from the message
that comes to you. Words heard from someone. Sometimes in a conversation. You're at a coffee shop. A colleague comes to work to talk to you. To have a coffee too. And starts talking about a decision he made in his life, in his family. That something had happened. He decided to do this and that. And you're living exactly this drama. In your family. And who sent this citizen to come here to talk to me? No one. He came to tell a decision he made. And the decision was right. That was exactly what you needed to hear.
Because you're facing the same decision. People come to you without knowing why. Without knowing why. And they bring something to say. That was what you needed to hear at that moment. It also happens. And sometimes it happens in a very surprising way. People lock a dialogue with you. And tell you things that were exactly what you needed to hear. It's a very interesting kind of synchronicity. It's a kind of insight. Jung talked about this concept of insight. The person doesn't realize it. But she has an insight that someone needs that experience of hers. And she
goes there and talks. She's not even aware of it. But she goes there and talks. She has a perception. It seems that things attract by affinity. That she has a perception and comes to you and tells your story. Continuing. Other experiences that we glimpse and that anticipate ours. Sometimes even not from a contemporary person. Sometimes even in history. It can happen. Read the story of the life of someone who went through such a thing, made such a decision and had such a result. You will even see that theater, one of the finality of theater, is
really to be a simile of life. It's like a restricted stage where human drama is demonstrated. The idea was that. That the man, from that experience of watching theater, had a personal experience. That would help him to position himself better in life. That's the idea of theater. It's a experience that is transmitted. If you are there, attentive, body and soul, it's a experience. And that experience can help you to avoid many evils in your life. Shakespeare himself is an incredible thing. Because in his dramas he puts all human dramas. And how people get sick when
they surrender their passions, when they surrender their dramas. So if you experience that, you can avoid that evil. You can avoid going through there. So stories that you heard in literature or in someone's life, from the past or recent. That you realize that that person made a hasty decision. And that hasty decision led to such a thing. Then you realize that you are also in a situation that is rushing. And that the precipitate always generates an immature fruit. People always get sick. And you see yourself in that narrative. Symbolically, that story is a bit of
your story. And you had never heard that story, come hear it now. Which is exactly when you need it. And that story reaches you in some way. Someone who has already lived something similar. Similar, similar. Symbolically, maybe not identical. But a story that shows exactly where it will go. If you make an insensitive decision, an imprudent decision. Or a prudent decision. What will happen? What is the unfolding of the story? You put yourself there as a character. And you realize that it is exactly your story that is unfolding there. The fundamental things of human life,
people, are not many. They are not. We think that things can happen to me very different from what happened in the life of the Egyptians, for example. Stop to think about what are the things that most cause us pain. What most cause us suffering. They are not the ability to coexist. The ability to self-control. The ability to accept well the difficulties of life. The ability to accept death well. The ability to work with solitude. They are few things. And they were the same in the time of the Egyptians. Of the Hindus. Of the whole world
of the past. I will not ask you what was the greatest difficulty of your life. You will tell me, it was that day when the internet failed. Or it was my computer that did not have good memory. This does not generate great sadness, my dear. It can generate a headache, but not more than that. The great sadness is for the same reasons that the Egyptians had. They are the same situations. They used tools to face this. Because maybe you have tools very similar, close to you. So, these alien experiences that we glimpse, anticipate ours. And
deep down we are dealing with elements that are not many. And they are repetitive throughout history. Suddenly your story arises in front of you. Set, starring some character from the past. And you see perfectly that it is what you are living. Pay attention. As we do not believe, as Jung said, we are skeptical. Sometimes these things happen and you do not dare to imagine that it came into your hand. Because it is your story. And then they do not take the teaching for skepticism. For skepticism we do not see that nature is putting things in
our hands. That they are our own story, they are a mirror. Many times we let this go. As intense as the synchronicities are, sometimes we do not see. Sometimes we are so alienated, so mechanized, that we only accept very concrete things. We become blind to all kinds of symbolism. Even to the intense synchronicities of life. If we had this ability to read between the lines of life, we would probably not repeat disastrous experiences. We would have to suffer twice for the same thing. Certainly the first time we missed, there was some symbolic message saying what
you should do. If we were reading and receiving these symbolic messages, we would not have gone to the second time. Once again, an ancient Tibetan classic says the following. That life is entirely pedagogical. If you no longer accept to learn with life, it is as if you had tied a ball of steel to your ankle. There is no more step. He says that if you do not accept to learn anything else, life is over. Because if you do not have the ability to learn, it does not make sense for life. So when we do not
accept to learn anything else, we choose to die. Life only executes. When we close all the doors, we become so stubborn that we do not want to learn anything else, so blind that we do not see anything else, we decide to die. Life simply executes, because there is no meaning for life without learning. There is no reason to be here. Why are we here? Why? If we do not want to learn anything else? And our purpose is exactly to evolve through learning? So they are also unconscious choices that we make. When we close the doors,
we become insensitive to the many messages that life sends. What else do we have? Recognition at the time when we doubt ourselves the most. That moment when you have self-esteem on the sole of your shoe, you feel the worst of the mortals. And a person comes and tells you that wonderful expression, thanks to you, thanks to you I overcame a serious problem. You do not know how grateful I am to you. Thanks to you I managed to get out of a violent crisis. Wow, I thank you so much. This thanks to you is one of
the things, it is a balm, one of the most beautiful things for us to hear in life. It means that your life made sense. That you were able to wipe someone's tears. That you were able to blow life into someone's life. There is the opposite, right? Which is the opposite. It is the despite you. The despite you is hard to hear. But it exists. That person who feels that you stole her energy instead of giving. The thanks to you sometimes arises in the moments when we are at a lower level. And it arises exactly to
make us awake for our value. We brought life. We breathed life into someone's life. A recognition that comes from a side that you were not expecting. Unusual. It comes to tell you, you are worth it. Do not be blind, do not devalue yourself. You are worth it and a lot. You are an important part in the scheme of life. At that time that you were at the bottom of the well, someone who did not know anything comes and gives you a recognition. It is also a very factible thing to happen. I have already met several
people who have passed. Exactly to turn the page of this mental negativity that only takes you lower. It comes at the fatal time. And it takes you from inside the well. It is also a common synchronicity to happen. Pay attention. It is what I was telling you about synchronicities, according to Carl Jung. He will say that synchronicities are significant coincidences. Transversal connections of meaning, not causal. So, something is happening here, something is happening here. One has nothing to do with the other, but they are symbolically similar. For a need for mutual support, they relate as
if I had opened a transverse path here. Communicating both. For the need to reinforce one to the other, they intersect at one point. Then they separate and continue their journeys. At a certain point, the lines of life get tangled. Then, pass your message, follow your path again. Carl Jung tells some stories that happened to his patients. The most classic is the story of the old men. It is very interesting. He was doing a consultation with a patient in the building where he had his office. This patient tells him that he had dreamed of a golden
skull. It is a sacred figure in Egypt. It has a very strong symbolic representation. She had dreamed of a golden skull. When he less waits, in the glass of his office, he sees something beating. He goes there to open it. It was a kind of golden beetle, the most similar to the golden skull that exists in the West. That beetle, which usually does not fly so high, felt the need to enter that room at the right time. The girl had just told him her dream. He says he opened the window, he entered, hit the wall,
fell on the floor. An old beetle, a beetle of the family of old beetles. Golden, even above. He says the statistical probability of something like this happening, without being because there is a message reinforcing the other, just by coincidence, is none. It is a level of synchronicity out of the ordinary. It is none. In several situations of this type, in the office, he said, there are certain things that prove that life is intelligent. It communicates facts that are symbolically equivalent, so that one reinforces the other. It goes there from time to time and gives a
tangle in the lines of life, so that one thing reinforces the other and then it continues in its meaning. That is what he called, then, significant coincidence, transversal connection of meaning, not causal. One is not the cause of the other. They are two completely independent paths, before continuing. I remember that once a curious fact happened. Well, first a very bad thing happened. I had my car stolen and in the car's glove box there was my cell phone. They took the cell phone, the car, everything. And then, the people in my neighborhood decided to help me
in some way, bought a cell phone and gave me as a gift. But I didn't know that before I got this device, they had taken the device's schedule and had put the phone number of the people closest to me. It was already registered on the agenda, I didn't know. Cell phone inside the box, brand new. Then one day I met a person and was talking about the personal situation of a person from my neighborhood, who was a wonderful person, but was going through difficulties, because she had to understand how good she was. Guys, I had
this cell phone in my pocket, I had just won it. I had taken it out of the box and put it in my pocket. Unintentionally, I pressed this cell phone in my pocket. And the cell phone discovered the phone of this person I was talking about. She didn't answer. It was recorded in the electronic secretary. The piece of the conversation I was talking about. If someone told me something like that, I would say, fisherman's conversation. I lived that. It was recorded in the electronic secretary, the piece of the conversation I was talking about. And sent
it to her. Fortunately, I was speaking well. These are very acute synchronicities. Synchronicities are sometimes very acute, sometimes they are more discreet, they exist in normal life events. All of them would be good if we could understand. But these are extreme cases, and there are extreme cases. And when it happens, you say, wait there, let's go and come. Probability of such a coincidence? It's a thing ... There's no way, there's no way. I can't imagine something like this happening by chance. Only when you make this observation, you put yourself in a totally unprecedented situation. So
life is not casual? So there is intelligence? So I can work for life? So it leads to my growth? Yes, a positive answer to all these questions. And that forces you to change your posture in front of life. You are not in the middle of chaos. You live the cosmos. You are not a victim. Your difficulties, in fact, are trying to solve you. They are trying to get rid of greater damage. They are pointing you the way. They give meaning. And one of the things we need most is meaning for life. And realizing these things
gives us a very strong meaning. That's why Jung says he would really like to have had more time in life to investigate even more synchronicities. Because they give signs of intelligence acting through life. Interacting with you, who can also respond intelligently. So it's a fantastic observation that changes our lives. If we really believe in it, it can change our lives. Put questions to life and observe answers with sobriety. That is, we can start, careful with the fantasy, that's why I put this sobriety so well highlighted. Be careful not to fall into fantasies. But I'm going
through a difficulty. I would like an answer about that. Be very clear. I wanted to know this. Put this into life. With a lot of strength. I want to know this. And then spend some time observing the synchronicities. The messages that come to you. It's an interesting experience. Sometimes you can get there through a dream. Sometimes you can get there through a common event. Life starts to move. It's like you've put a motor to work. It needs an answer. And it starts to move a thousand things to bring you something. Just be careful. Be careful
not to fall into fantasies. Because when we really want to do something, we want the world to point us there in any way. Then it gets dangerous. You start to have fantasies. If I didn't choose anything, I want to see what life says. And observe with a lot of sobriety the possible answers. This type of exercise is very interesting. It sometimes leads you to very interesting findings. One day, me and my stories. You will think I am the person who has the most synchronicity in the world. It is not. There are people who have much
more synchronicity than me. But there are some interesting facts that happen. There was no Nova Acrópole in a certain city in Brazil. It was Belém do Pará. And I was in doubt. I go there, I don't go there. A change of life. I went there. I lived there for two years. A sudden change of life. You leave. I live in Brasília. I go to Belém do Pará. And I was in doubt. Do I do this? Do I dare? Do I go or not? Do I go or not? This in transit, thinking about it. Soon it
takes a huge traffic jam. A traffic jam that forced me to brake and stop in the middle of the street. When I look at the truck, there was a colorful, colorful, all written like this, New Amazon. Situations like this, which are sometimes so funny. We are looking at people. I'm not alone. Life is intelligent and is moving around me. All the time. All the time. It is important that we have this awareness. Because this leads us to realize that it is the presence of God in all things. To see God in all things. And this
intelligence works nothing more than for unity. Unity is God. To take all things to their destination. For those who believe. For those who do not believe, talk about nature. Talk about whatever you want. But the fact is that there is a purpose in all this. This is not casual. We don't need to wait, I insist, for experiences to be so explicit. We must learn to read between the lines of the simple facts of our life. Which are all symbolic. Now, if you get a synchronicity, know that you are deaf. And life is screaming in your
ear. This is a moment when it really reached the last possibilities. It is screaming in your ear. What else do we have here? Give an answer to symbols. This is fundamental. So that communication is established and you realize if it made sense or not. It is the example of the queue I mentioned. I always enter in queues that do not walk. I will work to reduce my anxiety. I will start doing practical exercises so as not to be so anxious. You do this, practice, you start to have small gains. You realize that the lines start
to walk. You do not even notice, there is no more that. Give an answer. The symbol seems to be saying that. Okay, if he's saying that, I'll answer that. I will reposition myself in front of life. If he's trying to say that I'm anxious, I'll stop being so anxious. I'll start working with that. If he's trying to say that I should be less lazy, I'll fight against laziness. Give an answer to these readings you do. Then you will feel that life is moving and bringing other things. Not that anymore. You learned the lesson. It's approved.
It went to the next level in life pedagogy. So observe. And when you observe something, create a hypothesis of answer. I think life is trying to tell me that. And give you an answer in front of it. So I'll try to position myself like this. Then you will realize how life is moving, adjusting. And in a little while they are other things, they are other things. And the dialogue continues. It is very important that we also interact with this. Give our answers. Give your answers. If life is intelligent, it torments our growth. And that's it.
Life torments all beings to return to unity. May all beings develop. May all beings find their ideal. That is, what they came for in the world. We are here to be more human. To be more human means more values, virtues and wisdom. If nature needs a plant, the plant says. Present. Go there and exercise photosynthesis, which is what is expected of it. If nature needs an animal, the animal says. Present. Go there and exercise the instinct of survival and the perpetuation of the species, which is what is its own. Nature needs human beings. Where are
people to say present? Saying present means to seek, effortlessly, values, virtues and wisdom. And then you start to realize that all the symbolic arrows are pointing to this place. And you have already passed through symbolic arrows to the mountains in your life. The symbolic arrows will always be pointing in this same direction. There is a phrase from a contemporary author's book, which I like a lot, a historical novelist, called Steven Pressfield. He has a very beautiful book, which originally in English is called The War of Art. In Brazil it was published with the name How
to Overcome Your Internal Limits. Do you know it already? I made the preface to this book. It is a very interesting book. And at a certain moment he says a phrase that I found beautiful and brought to you, which has everything to do with what we are talking about. Kabbalists believe that above each grass leaf there is an angel screaming, Grow up, grow up! I go further. I believe that above all human race there is a super angel screaming. Evolves, evolves. That is, as if there was an intelligent being that he personified as a super
angel. He is cheering for our evolution. In the same way that we have obstacles that stop us, we have forces that cheer for our evolution. This is Steven Pressfield in The War of Art. And finally this idea. Life is in our favor. Believe in it and learn to speak your language. Trust in life and learn to speak the language it speaks. Learn. The language it speaks is a symbol. The more you speak this language, the more you communicate with life and understand its purposes for you. And it is in this feeling of so much comfort,
of so much security that it is to know that we do not step on a chaotic terrain. That things have a reason to be. That things have a purpose. Which makes life much better to live.
