Picture:  Marc Chagall - The Song of Songs III 1960. The Return of the Promised Land. Two persons rise upwards towards the point indicated by an angel bearer of light, and two cities (the material and spiritual world) can be seen in the middle. In the inverted city, there is a dome with a cross and a pilgrim. "After the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, men return to the Promised Land." Picture: Marc Chagall - The Song of Songs III 1960. The Return of the Promised Land. Two persons rise upwards towards the point indicated by an angel bearer of light, and two cities (the material and spiritual world) can be seen in the middle. In the inverted city, there is a dome with a cross and a pilgrim. "After the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, men return to the Promised Land."

In our world, the just do not exist, because there can be no prevailing justice, and the just are often killed, persecuted, deceived (whereas the opposite occurs in the Promised Land): the just, i.e. those who act with liberality and full awareness, are crucified. "... Does not ride a horse on the hills full of beauty and love ..." (prophet Isaiah.)

How many crucified virtuous men will it take, before we shall revive in the glory and in light of the return of the Promised Land? We know that Isaiah’s vision addresses the need for justice and truth.

In the Canticle of the Promised Land, we know that the behaviour of the just shall be immeasurably rewarded. However, we must all recreate this ancient land, which is now almost extinct, and to this end, we must be "Just and Eternal."

But how can we be up to this task, if we are so powerless, contradictory and fragile in our insignificant actions?

First, we have to adhere to the vision of the Prophet, with our mind and body.

This vision will turn us from humble subjects into real kings and queens, into the <<Knights of the Round Table.>>

 

Obviously, each initiation requires pain, abandonment and death, before reaching the resurrection, but we have all to change in order to turn our world into the Promised Land.

To see the World, we must come into the world again, which inevitably calls for death.

 

If you struggle for freedom, if you eradicate any kind of exploitation, if you eliminate any envious thought, evil word and threatening ad arrogant gesture, if the soul addresses the needs of the weak and heals the wounded soul, then you are on the right road towards the reconstruction of the Promised Land, and your light shall rise in the darkness, and your darkest night will look like the brightest noonday ever.

 

Eternity shall always guide you, feed your soul and  strengthen your body and you will become a garden, but it must involve all the men, as a source of eternity, and you will be regarded as healers in the Promised Land, as rediscoverers of paths leading to happiness for everyone…

 

Prophet Isaiah 2:4: The Promised Land.

“He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.

Now let’s focus on the tenth right: Meritocracy.

Democracy has failed, we cannot ignore this fact; we have gone through various types of governments: aristocracy, kingdom, democratic city-states and now the whole world is exalting the idea of democracy.

However, democracy has never solved any problem, but rather has introduced new ones.

Precisely in the light of these problems, Karl Marx assumed the dictatorship of the proletariat.

I do not support this idea, since my own assumption goes far beyond democracy.

Pensad que todas las religiones, realmente todas, creen que vosotros tenéis Alma, que venís al mundo con alma.

Giorgio Gurdjieff es el único hombre, en toda la historia de la humanidad, que dijo una cosa increíblemente importante: "Vosotros no tenéis alma".

¡El único! A pesar de las varias religiones.

La voz de G. Gurdjieff se eleva sola en toda la historia, y afirma que no todos los hombres tienen alma; la morada del alma está vacía.

Existe una posibilidad: podéis trabajar para crearla, pero no se nace con alma.

Yo sé, como lo sabe G. Gurdjieff, que vosotros venís al mundo con alma, pero la idea de que se nazca con alma no ha sido de gran ayuda.

Ha adormecido al hombre todavía más: sí, se nace con alma, Dios está dentro de ti, el reino de Dios está dentro de ti. ¿Qué deberías hacer todavía?

Trabajar duramente para obtener las cosas que no tienes dentro de ti, hablo del dinero, el poder, la respetabilidad; porque nadie dice: “Todo niño que nace con dinero (¡no hablo del dinero de los padres o heredado!), todo niño nace con poder político, todo niño nace respetable”. Nadie lo dice.

Now let’s consider the last statements of the “Nobody” prophet, which must not be taken for granted, but examined and discussed, in addition to the popular Declaration of Human Rights.

"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people."
