The Triumph Of Great People

All that greatness needs is a drop of initiative, a proof of colossal ambition and a meaningful dream to manifest itself as a guarantee of the soul’s immortality.

I recently saw on discovery a documentary about the pyramid of Khufu (Kheops). Thousands of people worked hard on this huge building. All possible ranks and specializations were involved, from architects to chefs. And it is said of Khufu that he was a very fierce leader, but a dreamer full of ideals and a very good organizer. The degree of his responsibility was directly proportional to the greatness of his dream, a dream that seemed to adorn the great sanctuary of the gods.

One thing is certain. Nearly 5,000 years have passed since the pyramid was completed, years that have passed so quickly for the great history of the world. And no one remembers the army of people who worked hard to build it. Of the tens of thousands of workers who contributed to the ancient construction, history does not remember a single one.

However, the pyramid still stands today, no one can challenge its resistance, no one can erase its image, and time cannot erase its wrinkles from the stone blocks. History still resonates with the name of Khufu, as great as that of an almighty god, as when you feel a call from another dimension of time and walk the steps of this time for a long time.

So, here’s the conclusion: history does not care about those who work hard, it is not interested in whether you are good or bad, but keeps in immortality the one who has a great idea and leads it to materialization. Grand people have great ideas, and by their greatness they become immortal, because immortality likes to put aside only the hard material from which a great idea is molded and idealized.

Does the whole perspective of your existence make possible that sparkle of a creator that is reflected in the phenomenon of visionary inspiration called to defend the glory of a materialization that leads the Essence towards Everything?

And look at the people who daily increase their fortunes, or covet fleeting pleasures. They get sick, die, and leave nothing behind. Many are proud of their intellectual desires, but only impressions and pride flow into their personalities. The Covid-19 virus completely silences them, as if without the virus they had something important to say or do. They leave nothing behind them anyway. Nothing great. Because they have nothing great in themselves…

When Galileo Galilei uttered the expression Eppur si muove(“And yet it spins”), during the Inquisition, he did not show any impressive fortune, he did not shine under the waste of gold and jewels. But it has given an unprecedented boost to scientists, who have contributed even more to the progress of mankind. He was great in his courage to take science one step further in times when science was rejected. All that greatness needs is a drop of initiative, a proof of colossal ambition and a meaningful dream to manifest itself as a guarantee of the soul’s immortality.

And when Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will remain”, he gained immortality by this phrase alone. He didn’t need a fortune for that. He did not need any leadership position to lay the foundations of a religion that dominates the world today. He was great because he was right about his words. The total madness of greatness consists in the subtle definition of an ideal of thought, embraced by true love, which you must attain before declaring yourself a saint.

History teaches us to be immortal, not mere mortals. And for that, we have to learn to be great. This is what history needs in recounting certain unforgettable episodes: the ability to idealize a creative movement and creators to push the world to a higher level of development. And the glory of a materialization that leads the Essence to Everything refers to man’s attempt to rise to the status of Creator by initiating a small change that can have a major impact on the evolution of the world.

The satisfaction of being a partaker of the total triumph of greatness must abide by that law imprinted by the Creator in the soul of every human being: “Everything that you leave good behind you remains inscribed in eternity.”

The Triumph Of Great People can be achieved through the full involvement of people in stable projects for the future that test the equation of eternity: “Everything that changes positively in this world is felt in another world that only the deserving are allowed to know.”
