Above all love
A hidden inheritance

of Francesco Arista and Antonella Molica

Argument

→ There is always light beyond the darkness, but the eyes of the body do not see the eternal light.

→ Many signs, including one's deepest aspirations, pain and revelation, help man to recognize the truth.
→ If you can't be as aware as you want, that doesn't mean our bond is flimsy or fragile.
→ If you don't have the strength to seek and see what's always true, you can't have meaningful relationships.
→ Love is the sign of the realization of coherence and of the individual.

→ 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.

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

→ The strength of the world proclaims temporariness, tends to distance you from the truth, to chain you to its conditioning, to make you suffer.

→ Strengthening the mind with concentration without adjusting its goals leads to more pain, but opens up the possibility of a later turn towards higher goals.

→ When he recognizes the emptiness of the world, the child knows that he does not belong to the world, because he seeks and possesses the truth that the world does not have.

→ The world, the body and the mind collaborate in producing the experience of mutability and dragging man into the unawareness of eternity.
