We are not just our thoughts, emotions, or bodies
There are moments in life when the soul feels like a hidden light behind dusty windows, waiting for us to clean the glass so that it can shine in its full splendor. We spend so much time identifying ourselves with the whirlwind of our thoughts, with the weight of our emotions, and with the temporary shape of our bodies, that we forget our essence is not limited to this fleeting matter. How could something as infinite as consciousness be reduced to mere pain or fleeting desires, when we are made of the spark of the eternal, of the same cosmic fabric that gave birth to stars?
The silent call of the source within us
No matter where you are in life, no external comfort will ever fill that silent space within. Life pushes us again and again to look inward, to return home. Imagine yourself with all your physiological needs met, achieving every dream you ever had, conquering every external goal. Even then, there comes a moment when a wave of emptiness rises, because we cannot deny the source that calls us. That source whispers that we already are everything we seek. This is not about suppressing desire; on the contrary, once you fully recognize your power, you begin to co-create from a place that is freer, more authentic, more luminous, because what emerges from within you is something that was always meant to be remembered.
The soul as a light reflected through dusty mirrors
The soul is like a light in a house full of mirrors. When the mirrors are covered with dust, the light seems dim, distorted, or hidden. Every conscious act, every moment of presence, every decision made from love rather than fear, is like cleaning a mirror. Over time, the reflections multiply, and the light is revealed in every corner, reminding us that it was always there, waiting for us to awaken.
Science and philosophy meet the eternal
Science and philosophy meet in this truth. Neuroscience tells us that 95% of our thoughts are repetitive and unconscious, governed by neural circuits built from habit and conditioning. When we step into awareness—through meditation, breath, or conscious action—we are literally rewiring the brain, allowing new patterns to emerge, like polishing the dusty surface of an old mirror. Quantum physics adds another layer: the universe is not a fixed reality but a field of probabilities, responding to observation and intention. When we align with that field, when we remember that we are co-creators of experience, we begin to manifest from a deeper connection rather than mere survival.
Modern research by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff suggests that consciousness could emerge from quantum processes inside microtubules in the neurons of the brain, connecting us to something beyond classical physics. This theory, called Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR), hints that our mind might not be confined to matter but is part of the quantum field, which resonates with the ancient intuition that we are more than our physical form. If consciousness touches the eternal, then every act of awareness is a bridge to the infinite.
The rhythm of nature and the patience of creation
Humans have always intuited this. Anthropologically, ancient cultures saw life as a dance between the visible and the invisible. The Egyptians spoke of Ka and Ba, vital energies that extended beyond the body. Indigenous peoples honor the elements, recognizing the intelligence of nature as part of themselves. In philosophy, thinkers like Plotinus or Spinoza spoke of a universal essence that underlies everything—a divine substance from which nothing is separate. Our modern ego, however, has divided what was once whole, convincing us that we are isolated, that life is a race to win rather than a gift to experience.
We tend to be impatient, and impatience goes against the creative force of faith. Faith is not blind belief but a deep knowing that everything unfolds in its own perfect time, like the slow and silent growth of a tree. We live in a world of instant gratification, where speed is mistaken for progress, and this disconnects us from the rhythms of our own nature. A tree does not rush to grow, but every day, in its silent expansion, it becomes stronger and more aligned with the sun and earth. In the same way, each conscious choice we make is like a seed sprouting, even if we cannot see its branches yet.
Universal laws and the memory of oneness
Everything in existence obeys universal laws that are beyond human whims. Thermodynamics teaches us that energy is never destroyed, only transformed. We are part of that same flow of transformation. To resist it is to create suffering; to harmonize with it is to remember who we are. The closer we tune ourselves to the laws of nature, the closer we come not to achieving something external but to remembering our own nature. We were born from that sigh of creation where everything was one, where all matter existed as a single vibration before being scattered into form.
Living the present as the true act of creation
When we do not obtain the results we expect, despair arises because we have been taught to measure life by outcomes, not by presence. But the only true moment we have is the present. It is here, and only here, that creation happens. It is here where the mirrors of our inner house can be cleaned, one by one, until the soul shines again, reminding us that it was never broken, never incomplete, never less than infinite light.
