Inspiring principles
He knows better than anybody else how to inspire, and he never stops doing it even for a second in the hearts of all persons belonging to humanity. He, Jesus the Master, is the only Master that knows how to inspire from within with the power and the kindness of the Paraclete. Nothing and nobody on earth knows how to inspire in this way. That is where the extraordinary and absolutely unique power of the Gospel comes from. Nothing that is written or proposed on earth sounds to our ears and hearts as simple, perfect, complete as the Gospel does in inspiring the metànoia.
But what does inspiring mean? Inspiring means, first of all, showing, indicating, proposing to minds and hearts, without causing prejudices, pressures, divisions that the basic principles for happiness may be different from what we think, and then showing us and helping us understand that they really are different. When the spirit accepts being inspired about new principles, it means that it is ready to change the assumptions of its choices and actions: modifying assumptions makes it possible for the mind's orientation to change the rules, and this makes it possible to open new perspectives and choices for wellbeing and happiness. The human saying "time is money" is founded on principles of a certain kind, which implies assumptions, rules, perspectives, choices, actions, eating habits, lifestyles, disharmonies and diseases of a certain kind. The divine instruction “shabbat-rest regularly and celebrate life with thankfulness” is founded on principles which implies assumptions, rules, perspectives, choices, actions, eating habits, lifestyles, harmonies and health of a different kind. Fighting for a career, money, success is the behaviour of somone who is so resigned to his own spiritual misery and lack of psychic trust in himself that he has clung to the basic principle of permanently pleasing himself and others at all costs. Being deeply concerned about the common good and everyone's wellbeing is the behaviour of the someone who believes that he is a child of God, who believes that his gifts have been given him by God, and with spiritual humility and psychic productivity, he feels bound to the basic principle of being happy and making others happy, without pressure, violence, separation, for his entire life, even in times of persecution. Divided families fighting over a legacy, couples getting separated and fighting each other in court for money, putting basic resources like land, water, vital goods up for private control are all signs not only that our heart is hard but mainly of the principles on which it has been nurtured.
Jesus came to earth to inspire new principles, new assumptions, new procedures, perspectives, choices and actions. He came to earth and he spoke to us and himself showed that it is possible to change what seems unchangeable, that it is possible to improve what does not seem amendable. That's why he repeats so much and so often that we must never stop searching, knocking, looking for inspiration and letting ourselves be inspired: And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
