Limitation and expansion

Both are necessary

August 14th 2024
The soul needs space: it needs immensity in order to breathe, expand and rejoice. Limit this space and the soul suffocates, wilts and withers away. And that is what happens to people who focus on all the material details of everyday life without ever taking a moment to immerse themselves in immensity and find fulfilment.
Of course, in some cases, limitation is necessary. The birth of a child, for instance, is nothing but a limitation, but it is necessary in order for this manifestation to happen. Human beings who come to incarnate into matter must limit themselves. At the time of death, however, they will return toward immensity. Life is made up of these two processes: limitation and expansion, and to be happy you must know how to apply them both to your daily lives. You enter your innermost being to unite with the universe, with the universal Soul, and then you return to a state of limitation to work. But do not stay in this limited state too long, or you will become bored and will suffer. Think about setting out again soon on the road of immensity.*
