Above all love
A hidden inheritance

of Francesco Arista and Antonella Molica

Argument

the beauty

→ Being with me is your life.
→ If you forget me, if you neglect me, if you detach yourself from me, you lose yourself in the nothingness of the world, which is not life, is not worthy of you, of what I give you existence for.
→ Hold on, stay aware of me, and you'll be stronger than the world, you can't be won by illusion.
→ Remember me, who I am, who you are for me, love me and the world will not strike you inside, it will not make you its slave.

→ The fundamental, basic choice is to know the truth.
→ Awareness is the fruit of wanting to know the truth.
→ Whoever does not conceive and chose the absolute truth cannot know and love it.
→ I am the absolute, the unlimited, the eternal, the pure spirit, the true being.
→ At any time you can choose between me and the temporary, the evanescent, the ambiguous, the material.
→ The unaware does not know that he must and can choose, he believes that life is his delusion in the domain of death and for fear of suffering and dying he loses sight of his immortal nature.
→ The fundamental choice is in the present, not about the acts of the past or what has to happen.

→ The depth of darkness, which now envelops you in the world, exalts and highlights by contrast the splendour of our love.

→ If you're aware of you and me, nothing can hurt you.

→ Those who know love do not confuse it with the desire to command.

→ If you are conscious, you can recognize me in every act of love.

→ Love is a voluntary choice and a way of knowing.

→ Orienting, turning, voluntarily directing the mind, knowledge, attention towards God, towards the presence and point of view of God, implies realizing how much you have ignored and neglected God, and recognizing the emptiness of the world.

→ For love God and the world are opposed, you love one of the two and neglect the other.

→ The world seeks to obscure the higher reality of full truth and draws you towards its ever decomposable and temporary emptiness.

→ A time of recollection and solitude strengthens the mind and detaches you from the dust of nothingness.

→ If you don't have the strength to seek and see what's always true, you can't have meaningful relationships.
