I would share this very recent article of yours, which I think is full of lights for the Citizens Movement, different yet inwardly united the Mexico we want a truly free, fair and happy ... Because that the word "religion" is almost a "bad word" for much @ s, the only thing I do with the article Boff is put the word "spirituality" when he uses the word "religion" ...
The forgotten dimension: the inner life
inner life is at present one of most neglected dimensions of humanity. Urgent rescue, as it is find serenity, and the sacred feeling of dignity.
First, it is important to clarify the word interior. Is the reverse of foreign . Life has an external dimension. It is our corporeality. Modern culture has inflated the externality across all media . The world of people has been fully disclosed.
But there is also internal. Generally the interior is something that is not directly . We know and to fascinate the outside of a person, their beauty and intelligence. But to know we need to look inside his heart, his nature and his world view . Only then can we make judgments more appropriate and fair about it.
Interior also has the meaning of quality of life . Thus we say that life "inside" (the country) is quieter, more integrated into the community and nature in the background, with more likely to make us happy. Is life "inside" is not subject to the logic of the city, with the comings and goings of people, technical and bureaucratic paraphernalia, and threats of violence.
Finally, inside the human depth means. The inside, deep, emerge when the human being stops, silent, begins to look within themselves and think seriously. When considering critical issues as: What is my life , that whole universe of things, apparatus, works, sufferings, struggles and pleasures? Is there life beyond life, because so many friends died, sometimes absurdly, in car accidents or by a stray bullet? Why am I on this small planet, so beautiful, but so abused?
Who has answers? They are usually spiritualities and philosophies, as always deal with these issues. But can not believe that to attend worship or join a world-view interior life is guaranteed. All that matters, but only to the extent that produces an experience of meaning, a new shock and a vital change.
inner life is no monopoly on spirituality. They come later. inner life is a human dimension . So it is universal. Is at all times and in all cultures.
Spiritualities fulfill their mission when they raise and nurture the inner life of his followers when they help to make the journey inside path the heart, where dwells the mystery. Inner life involves listening to the voices and movements that come from within. There is a deeper self, full of yearning, searching, and utopias. We feel an ethical requirement that invites us to good, not only personally, for oneself, but also for others.
There is a imposing presence, greater than our hearts. Presence that speaks of what really counts in our life, what is crucial and can not be delegated to anyone . God is another name for this experience that satisfies our insatiable quest.
cultivate this space is to have inner lives. The most immediate effect of this inner life is an energy that enables us to face daily problems without excessive agitation. Who radiates inner life has a beneficial atmosphere and spread peace to those around you.
Feeding inner life, as Arthur da Távola always repeated in his TV show "Who afraid of classical music "is not to be alone never . Loneliness is one of the greatest enemies of man, because he divorced from the universal connection. The inner life it reconnects All of which is a party.
