allows us to listen to our inner voice. This helps us to improve ourselves,
to see our defects and begin to live through feeling. To meditate
implies analysing oneself in order to know oneself, to discover when
one acts with egoism and when through what one feels. It doesn ́t
matter what method we use to achieve this, whether it is more or less
aesthetic, as it is not what one does but rather with what intention it is
done. Sometimes, we are left with the appearance but not the depth.
I say this because there are many very flexible people who have a
great ability to position themselves and remain in a lotus position for
hours, who breathe deeply, leaving their mind blank, but who as soon
as they have left relaxation carry on with their bad spiritual habits. They
convince themselves that they are spiritual, merely because they
practise a particular relaxation technique. This is not meditating, but
rather pretending.
Yes, but how can we hear the voice of conscience? It seems very
difficult to me. How do you distinguish between a thought that comes
from our conscience and any other normal thought from our mind? I
don ́t see this as being easy at all.
You have to try to silence the chattering of your mind for a while,
liberate it during that time from day to day worries so that you can
clearly hear the voice of conscience. Find a moment of tranquility
during the day to be with yourselves, to meditate on your wrong
doings and your attitude that day, and then if you do this with sincerity
you will get help to find the answers that you need and be comforted
in order to be able to face your trials with greater strength of mind. The
voice of conscience is not complacent, it is not biased, it doesn ́t lie
and it says things that may disturb our egoism. There are people who
have a more open spiritual communication channel, because they
trust this form of perception and have resolved to improve it. They are
able to distinguish between an answer that is the result of their own
reflection, or an answer given by the spiritual guides, and are able to
establish a conscious dialogue with them.
And is this the only way we can be helped from the spiritual world?
No. You also all receive more direct help during sleep. While the body
sleeps, your spirit separates from the physical plane for a few moments
and goes up to the spiritual plane. Once there, you meet up with your
guides and loved ones who will lend a hand in solving day to day
problems and give you strength to continue. In other words, you all
make astral journeys during the night, although not consciously. Most
people don ́t remember very clearly this contact with the spiritual
world during their sleep. Their dreams only appear as vague images
