The Heir Of A Large Fortune
Obey a solid check of the validity of a man of great character by using the power of thinking that survives "death."
- Now I understand why you wanted to meet me here, on this desolate island, in the middle of an ocean, in this underground palace, in this tomb even a pharaoh would wish for: because I am dear to you, right Count? Because you love me enough to give me one of the deaths you spoke to me of earlier, a death without agony, a death that would allow me to go off uttering Valentine’s name and holding your hand.
- Listen, Maximilien – adds the Count aloud, I see that your pain is endless. And yet, you still believe in God and do not want to let your soul perish.
- Count, he replied sadly, you know all too well that my soul is no longer mine.
- Listen, Maximilien, Monte Cristo continues, you know that I have no relative in the world. I have gotten used to seeing you as my own son; in order to save my son, I would sacrifice my life and more-so, my fortune. I mean to say that you think of death because you do not know the joys of life a great fortune offers you. Maximilien, almost everything I have I give unto thee. With such a fortune, you will be able to reach all that you desire. Are you ambitious? All careers will be open to you. Move the world, change your face, do foolish things if you must, but live ! *
Do you separate yourself from the shearing depth of experiences, looking for the extreme limits of spirituality that never ceases to engage life in an authentic story meant to highlight your degree of understanding the mysteries of a superior intelligence?
The phenomenon of "Torn Depth" causes a placing of man in relation with the self that criticizes and punishes, very close to that state of indifference capable of distance him from the aspirations for a freedom of thought which urges good by word and deed. Reflected unto others, this phenomenon imprints that idea to reject everything that could confirm the individual as being invested with superior connotations.
Leadership is the image of self-control resulting from the struggle against prejudices, passions, limitations, motions, grievances that blur your vision and beliefs. Often, man has to go through despair, pain, and embarrassment to reach a higher level of confidence, respect and self-esteem, so that the temperament can change radically by exercising self-control and verticality, by exercising the abstinence from counteracting a phenomenon that happens anyway.
Man reaches a consciousness based on representations of reality that meet his expectations as he proceeds towards learning and power, towards maturity and fulfillment. Spirituality contributes to determining in the individual a particular way of reacting to thoughts and feelings as a means of adapting to the social and moralizing conditions of existence. Spirituality actually means accepting the challenge of new life experiences, without conditioning your consciousness to enter into a definitive impasse.
But the freedom of the man awoken from the state of confusion, of the man who is reborn out of a temporary decline, always seeks extreme limits: fulfilled life or rapid death. Truth be told, only when it is manifested as a reaction to what man experiences and to what happens around, as an essential component of an active attitude in what regards what is inspiring, but especially to what he must represent in the great equation of existence.
Do you try to impose your own beliefs on a situation that you feel you do not master, according to your way of perceiving the expected denouement?
When you think the end is near, it’s because of the beliefs that sabotage you. The writer of Romanian origin Lungu Laura (alias Alexia McGray) was right when she said:
“Life is a carousel you get in and wait for what will follow. You look when you’re up and you wish to always be there. Then suddenly, the carousel falls and it’s hard to be down on the edge of the abyss. You ask that you always be up, because you are not the one driving the carousel, the carousel is driving you. This is the life that sets its games before you appear, and you are but a mere participant in the game.”
Any denouement can be postponed by a drop of divine help, just as any action has a reaction. Life is the direction of “yourself” in a whirlwind that can destroy you, and whoever you expect less will help you get up.
This "Yourself", subjected to a solid check of the validity of a man of great character, perceived as one direction to follow by experiencing the freedom to act in accordance with the realities of life, becomes the symbol of a polarity which confers to the spiritual attitude a note of challenge to existence. This polarity can be expressed in two ways:
The first, that of the tragic consciousness that knows the meaning of total failure and the need for self-denial, in which the meaning of suffering is known through a vulnerability of the mind and of the soul. The second, that of becoming of a destiny of greatness which encompasses the entire being, focusing within itself the revivalist potential of trust in the future.
Leadership is the result of thinking that survives "death", allowing man to know and take on the joys allowed by the experiencing of faith and a truly uplifting experience. Before man is put into the state of feeling the usefulness of life, someone must teach him its rules, without neglecting the very kernel of rational theory according to which minor changes, carefully designed and intelligently implemented can trigger major consequences.
Life seen through leadership can be defined by the following motto: “Move the world, change its face, do foolish things if you must, but live ! ”
The Heir Of A Large Fortune is the individual who, by swimming through the deepest waters of inner life, facing the most decisive circumstances, comes to achieve what he believed was no longer possible: the miracle of being someone else.
This is the whole secret of becoming, testified Alexandre Dumas in his famous novel: "There is no happiness, nor misery in the world. There is only the comparison of a state with another and that is all. Only the one who has felt the worst misfortune is able to feel the greatest happiness. To realize how good it is to live, you must have wanted to die."
