Life is offering help. Are you there to take it?

Life contains all the dimensions within it and is always ready to expose itself, reveal itself fully to us provided our eyes are open. The helper need not be a person, the helper is life itself but we do not see that helper because we are closed to life. Every moment is a multidimensional moment.

Every moment will tell you something that you do not know, provided that you are prepared to learn, provided your eyes are open, provided you are not smug in your belief that you already know.

How can life show you anything new if you have convinced yourself that you already know a lot?

Who is he who never learns anything?

The one who thinks that he is already very learned.

And all of us in some way have enclosed ourselves in the belief that we are already very learned. We think that we have experience behind us and that experience is the totality of the world. We rely a lot on our experience, on our past. Hence, when something new comes to us, first of all, we don’t notice it and even if we notice it, we dismiss it and if it presents itself very strongly to us, we resist it.

These are the ways of the defense of the ego: ignore it, dismiss it or resist it.
