Thoughts That Require Concentration Of The Mind

The dream of the happy is the need of loneliness to fill every need of the divine spirit.

In the lonely life that Cosette led with her adoptive father, they had become a habit: in the morning they went for a walk to see the sunrise, a sweet joy, suitable for those who leave life, as well as for those who begin it.

Those who love solitude know that the walks of the dawn of the day are as pleasant as those of the night; but at dawn they have something more: the joy of nature. The streets are deserted and the birds sing. Cosette, herself also a bird, too, got up early in the morning. They had been preparing these trips since the evening before. He planned them, she received them. He arranged them thoroughly, as if it were a conspiracy; they came out before dawn. Cosette enjoyed every detail. Young people like everything that is unusual and innocent.

Jean Valjean was, as is well known, attracted to walks through places that were little walked, lonely, deserted. He had sat down on a side road, on beams placed at the gate of a construction site. He looked along the road, his back to the east. He had forgotten about the rising sun. It was worked by deep thoughts, thoughts that require concentration of the mind, that blind even the eye, as if the man were enclosed within four walls.

There are meditations that we could call vertical. When you sink into their depths, it takes time to return to earth. Jean Valjean had descended into such a dream. He thought of Cosette, of the happiness that would have been possible if a stranger had not sat down between the two of them, of the light with which she filled his life, the light that was the breath of his soul. In this dream he was almost happy. Cosette, standing beside him, watched the clouds begin to take on rosy hues.

Suddenly, Cosette shouted: “Dad, it’s like someone’s coming from there.” Only then did Jean Valjean look up.

Can you build an admirable vision of yourself through the prism of everything you experience with your mind and soul, while maintaining your power over a weaker power?

The dream of the happy is the need of loneliness to fill every need of the divine spirit. The very spirit of the great people who seek happiness, as well as of the simple ones who have not yet found it, comes from a loneliness of heaven and earth, so a loneliness related to the divine, because heaven has given you some tools with the help of which you can have faith experiences:

- the stoicism with which you accept your destiny and the steadfastness of your feelings;
- gratitude for your time and the actions you take;
- fidelity to one’s own interiority;
- the respect due to the truth with which you behave and show yourself in the world;

Whatever is said, the essence of the divine spirit can be understood through an activity of solving a dilemma: who are you when you express your personality freely and authentically, in a place and at a time that does not (for the moment) favor your reputation, career, successes or professional authority?

The essence of the divine spirit is to open the consciousness to new horizons, despite the limited resources you have at your disposal, making a small passion your only option to move forward. Or, just as a caterpillar turns into a butterfly inside a cocoon, so it is no coincidence that a precarious situation dominates the sphere of your behavior, because it can become the most precious part of your life.

In terms of leadership, it matters what you become through what you are willing to endure. Only in this way can you reach that maturity that makes you appreciate to the fullest what you have, to be happy with a little, before being happy with more. And here’s what it means to maintain your strength over a weaker power: it means to be grateful for situations where you are not fully satisfied with yourself, in accordance with your decision to learn to be better than yourself, yourself from yesterday.

Those forms of thinking that lead to vision, such as imagination, memory, anticipation, disposition to dream, or inspiration, are a typical case of knowledge through insight, mirroring, or may be a significant case of knowledge through communication with one deity or another supernatural entity. Dreaming and thinking have something in common: the state of happiness, and their mediator is the joy of nature. We see this in the action of the Self on the meaning of life, for the man who abandons himself to dreaming is always the man who lives the experience of a new beginning.

The knowledge of the image that symbolizes you in the divine comes from the intellect (dreaming, stoicism, pride and a dust of will). And this image is a confirmation of your own value and uniqueness, to become one of your commanding weapons in terms of what you have to decide for your future.

Through Thoughts That Require Concentration Of The Mind you will be able to live a life as you wished, by relating to an invisible force that lies behind everything you do in life, and which is called: faith (steadfastness and dreaming).
