Mercy as a concept
Mercy is not an easy concept, and only the very far-sighted can scrutinize the effects of it. When magnanimity prompts, “Let live!” this verdict will not be difficult. Perhaps, precisely in this hour destruction might have been approaching, but the far-sighted one understood that the positive is greater than the negative. For the near-sighted such mercy is unfitting, but for the far-sighted it is as an arrow into the target.

Though Purification by Admiring Nature
Purify your thoughts by admiring beautiful things in Nature. Nature means all things God has created - plants, animanls, the sky. If you will look at what God has made and is making all the time, you will find tht your thoughts will become purer. You must train yourself to look at flowers. Flowers are beautiful things, if you try to make a flower out of paper, you will find how difficult it is and also how beautiful. You must look at a flower as something in which the Master is shininig, for there is beauty in the flower. That s the beauty in the Master.Not only flowers; there are there are also Trees. Look at the trees and you will find the same beauty in them; there is nothing as lovely as some trees.

Full moon of Capricorn
Full moon times are the times in which you open yourself to new energies and dare to receive them. These energies will not create pleasure and happiness within you. They must make you uncomfortable so that you confront yourself, see what is imprisoning you, and start breaking the prisons in which you are living.
The spiritual life is a hard life. This is the reason for the symbol of the mountain goat in Capricorn. The mountain goat climbs the mountains using the most narrow and dangerous paths. To climb to the mountaintop where your horizon is wider and the air is cleaner takes hard work. It needs endurance, daring, and courage. The spiritual path is not for chickens! Those people who are “chicken” to face themselves and to break their prisons can never improve.

Facing Karmic Consequences
To be ready to to face the karmic consequences of our past deeds requires the spirit of a hero, a hero who is ready to surge above the karmic waves.
Everytime time I see a skillful surfer I think about those who can create beauty on the waves of karma, standing above them and advancing because of them.
We must not face our karma with depression, fear, anger but try to learn how to withdraw ourselves towards higher planes, towards our Core and , observing the waves of karma like a surfer , not to be drowned in those waves.
All that we learn in the world is nothing else but the art to meet our karma and transcend it through creating bridges and steps of beauty.
The karmic Law helps us to be causes instead being results. As long as we do not live a conscious life , are not aware of the Law of Cause and Effect, we live as results. The karmic law awakens us and gives us an opportunity to be causes
A cause unites with the flow of karma and creates a life which is in harmony with the Cosmic Magnet.
My Teacher used to say, "Try to see who is controlling you or to whom you are the slave or who you are serving."
It is very powerful to see the causs which are using us, manipulating us and exploiting us. Free people are very few, and they are the ones who are the hope and future of humanity.

Importance of Study and Reading
Through reading and study one can assimilate great amount of energy. Reading releases energy hidden in wordsm ideas and visions of the author. Study evokes energy from within oneself corresponding to the energy of the author who charged his writing with his creative energy. You will have more energy if the author channeled into his creative work from higher sources.
You must, of course, be discriminative in your reading. You must read things that expand your consciousness, things that you use in your life to serve others, things that improve your life.
Real reading is not done for asumement but for improvement, for unfoldment, for expansion and for deeper understanding of life.
Study is an act of digestion. You ponder, meditate or contemplate on things you read, and as you study, you evoke new sources of energy from your higher nature.
In reading you increase your knowledge, and in study you assimilate your knowledge.
Assimilated knowledge is power and energy.As you know more and as your knowledge comes closer to being reality, you absorb great amounts of energy from the Ray of Concrete Knowledge or from the Ray of Intelligence.
