Ever since I was very young, I’ve understood the Earth as a school, that is a planet where we learn. During our life we face many different situations that enable us to learn new things, correct our mistakes from the past, evolve.
 
We will succeed in this evolution if we make an honest and constructive effort, which will not only be useful for ourselves and for those around us but for humanity as a whole.
 
The difficulties we face throughout life are merely opportunities to learn, while making the effort required to overcome them.
 
The painful situations we go through are a way of calling our attention to the misuse of our free will in the past or in the present. They are also opportunities to find out what caused or causes such effects, this way we correct and avoid repeating them.
 
We all belong to different spiritual levels and here on Earth we learn with each other. With those who moved forward, we learn by following their examples; with the others, we can learn by not making the same mistakes they made. When we are alone, through meditation, we are able to choose our own way.
 
None of us is perfect. Some have a tendency to make certain mistakes. Others don’t have the same tendency but they fail where the first don’t. Living with them all gives us several oportunities to improve ourselves.
 
Through meditation, Man can drive himself into a state of purifying his soul. By living in this world, he can achieve this purity step by step.
 
Here we are, all of us without exception, to learn, from the day we are born until we physically die.
I’ve always valued the exchange of ideas as something that enriches those who want to learn. I’ve always considered myself a free thinker. I’m open to analyse and reflect about new ideas. I take pleasure in listening and reading, trying to separate what is good from what is not so good.
 
For the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of writing some notes for the magazine A Razão. Still and always an opportunity to learn, to write them and while writing these notes.
 
Now, after being revised and updated, I gathered these notes in a book that I hope can please those who read them as much as it has pleased the person who wrote them.
