Argument

the beauty

→ The experience of pain in the world makes sense.

→ Man can and must know and follow the way to overcome evil.

→ This world offers man the possibility of making the opposite choice to God, of denying, rejecting God and experiencing its consequences.

→ Ignore me, doubt me and you will experience the painful illusion.

→ You are by nature infinitely stronger and bigger than the world, and if you want it all the way, you can achieve yourself.

→ Those who know me love me, don't fear me.

→ The world imposes considerable limits and illusions on you, which you must experience and which one day will appear to you for what they are, little, nothing, a game compared to what I give you.

→ I am always with you, and knowing this is a great good for you, but this continuity is not bound by what you experience.

→ In the inevitable and unpleasant experience of uncertainty, of temporariness, of contradiction, you can conceive a state of greater fullness as a lack or necessity.
→ If your mind is clear or your faith is strong you can understand that eternity is more real than the world you experience.
→ The world strongly projects its materialistic illusion, but it is destined to show its inconsistency.
→ Sooner or later, in his time, every man sees the illusion of the world.
→ The truth cannot be defeated, for I am the almighty, the eternal, and I love you as my neighbor, son, similar to me, as myself.

→ The world strongly projects its materialistic illusion, but it is destined to show its inconsistency.

→ Love is a voluntary choice and a way of knowing.
→ For love God and the world are opposed, you love one of the two and neglect the other.
→ In the way of knowing it is necessary to distinguish what is primary, fundamental.
→ Correct knowledge takes into account what is entirely true and overlooks what is ambiguous.
→ It is not permissible to neglect what has greater value in front of what is worth little or nothing.

→ 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.
