Where Do You Come From, Blind Man?
Establish some growth and evolutionary rigor over time, capitalizing on that transformation whose representation is the assumed experience.
I met an even more unhappy man than you, Maximilien. "Listen to me," said Monte Cristo, "and direct your attention to my words for a moment. I met a man who, like you, had founded all of his hopes of happiness on a woman. That man was young, had an old father and loved him, had a betrothed and he loved her. She had to marry her when, suddenly, one of the fates of destiny that could make us doubt God’s goodness – if God would not reveal himself to us later, telling us that for him everything is a means to lead to his infinite unity – he unexpectedly took his beloved, the future he dreamed of and believed to be his, then threw him to the bottom of a dungeon. For the blind man could not read it until now.
You can escape the dungeon in eight days, over a month, over a year. He stayed there for fourteen years," Monte Cristo said, holding his hand on Maximilien’s shoulder. "And he, in these fourteen years, often embraced despondency. And he, like you, believing himself to be the unhappiest man in the world, wanted to take his life. And what did he do?
At the last moment, God revealed Himself to him by a human means. For God no longer works miracles. Maybe at first, because the eyes covered with tears need time to fully open, he did not understand the Lord’s endless mercy.
But then, he was patient and waited. And one day he came out of the tomb by wonder, changed his face, strong, superior to all others, almost like a god. *
Do you try to deviate from the rules of a limiting experience, setting your own value by transforming an ordinary INPUT into a superior OUTPUT?
Before a man with high aspirations can establish something for himself, whether it is an important role or a grand story, preparing a leap in time to a level of superiority that many cannot reach, he should divide his existence between four compatible systems, interfaced to certain compromises to overcome his current condition.
But these systems cannot be manipulated, controlled, read intelligently from a distance, such as data communicated by wireless stations, because man tends to deny what cannot be predicted.
These four systems in relation to leadership, are Supervision, Direction, Maturity, and Illumination. They can be expanded by setting up personal value assessment rigor as a model of verticality and "Growth, Progress, Understand, Become" imperatives that can trigger new safety hatches for channeling thoughts and minds, facilitating the insertion of an image of what you will become.
The authentic act by which man modulates all his spiritual attitudes, the individualizing element that concentrates thoughts and feelings, disturbs the peace of his soul, becomes a kind of visiting card of a personality that is contaminated with those virtues of character, gathered in a unitary whole, applied to an extended development. But a development that is open to man’s resilience, flexibility and ability to perceive himself as a separate and autonomous entity capable of manifesting and valuing himself through its transformation – into a form of superiority.
Do your beliefs that are owed to the closeness to the experience of reaching a new status allow for the penetration of an "INPUT" from the world or an "OUTPUT" from the realities of the self?
The most valuable and solid leadership is taught with the entry into that superior game of life, set to trigger idle or high-rise experiences. But one in which you have to control a heavy ball, its strength and direction of guidance, on a rough ground, shrouded in a clutter of ever-changing possibilities, without the means to advance.
An aspirer to the rank of leader keeps a close eye on their inclinations towards a kind of perspective thinking, finding a direction of development that makes them a strong person. He creates himself as an artist of life – not as a spectator, then turns into a superior man whose art of engaging in the spectacle of the world is related to a wider phenomenon of knowledge.
The input from the world is what you get when other people express their respect and affection for you, while the Output is your answer to the way in which they themselves can generate "injuries and pains" at the moment of crystallization of the self-consciousness that proves a certain guilt.
The gravity that man is capable of is not that of believing in a God who always does justice, but that of always seeing a wall crumble before him, called: "miracle".
Where Do You Come From, Blind Man? designates that passage of man from one existential status to another, defying the rigors and restrictive rules of an adverse destiny. The requirements of integrating yourself into the context of a life and a world largely determined by fate, by appealing to all of the spiritual inclinations, alters the form of the validity of your becoming, as a test of will and determination.
