Summary

We are an experiment that may or may not work out, as if we were in a large laboratory, hostel, hospital, or school. We should make the most of life to expand our knowledge and understand who we are, but beliefs and conditioning make this understanding difficult. To grow and evolve, we need to be humble and set aside the ego, which makes us overestimate our importance in the universe. It is possible to let down our emotional defenses; we create difficulties to avoid the changes needed to become better.

Source transcript

The two characters are Francisquinho and Kitto. Today, on a day of very strong sunlight, I am walking again and feel that I should adjust the brightness of my image so I can say what I am going to say. When I look at my image, I notice that it is becoming very good, even in the dark. I really like the sky that appears here; it is a beautiful and happy sky. In some places, the sky is so beautiful that we can spend hours looking at it and learning about life. I am happy to see this blue as I walk.

Yesterday, while reading "Response Letter," someone asked why I think we are an experiment, and another person asked whether we might be a spark of God. I have to answer that anything said can be true. My spiritual experiences, for which I am grateful, lead me to believe that life should be used to expand our knowledge. This expansion involves understanding who we are—which is often confusing and full of beliefs and conditioning. As a researcher, I have had hundreds of thousands of spiritual experiences in order to give meaning to my life, and I concluded that we think we are very good.

At first, we imagined that Earth was the center of the universe, and we still think that our civilization makes a difference. But in truth, I believe that none of us makes a difference in the universe. The universe is immense and small at the same time, and we cannot perceive this. Perhaps we are here to be observed and to improve—or not. With an inflated ego, we believe we can do many things in disharmony with the universe. Beyond the planet, there is absolute linearity without noise. Here, we have noise, confusion, and conflicts. Even in beautiful natural places, we cannot truly relate to them.

This learning is clear to me but difficult to explain. It is not easy to discuss something I have been developing for so many years, or for so many reincarnations. It is difficult to show someone what they have not yet perceived. I see that we are an experiment that may or may not succeed. Just as we use animals in laboratories to learn, we are here as though this were a great laboratory, shelter, hospital, or school. One day, we will have to accept that the best course is to understand who we are with humility—which is essential to our growth and evolution. Humility requires removing the ego, which is not easy. I have always proposed emotional disarmament, and some people have told me it is impossible. Nothing is impossible; we create difficulties to avoid the changes necessary to become better. We are therefore an experiment.
