On servitude

Every feeling, every action is something prepared within the being, and served to the world.
As you live and express yourself, your energy is food for what you create.
What we have to ask is: What are we creating, who are we serving?

If you direct your energies to work, you serve the work. If you direct your energies to violence, you serve violence. And so with all the other things. We are servants of what we give ourselves. It is not possible to live without serving, because we are expression of energy, and energy is food for something.

But have you ever wondered if you would like to live with all the things that exist within you forever?
There is probably something in you that bothers you and you need moments of rest or relaxation to feed on other types of energy that do you good.

Well.
Imagine that you have to live forever with these bad feelings , and there are no alternatives or moments to forget, because everything is eternal.

At such times we should be happy with the existence of time.

We are servants of time, for we can not serve eternity. In the conditions we are, eternity should be the hell itself. You may even wish to live forever as you are, but that is a mistake that the lack of concept of eternity does in us. Imagine doing something you like, but prolong that time. If you like lying down for example, try to spend a week lying down. Or push to extremes anything else that you find pleasant and you will see that what you find agreeable is only within a time limitation.

We are incapable of thinking eternity, cause our life is temporal and lives in transformation.
But we can intuit that which reflects eternity.
If you stop and think, if you had to spend eternity in a mood of anger or peace, which one would you choose?

God is eternity, and when our expression feeds states of mind that reflect eternity,

we serve God.
But you may wonder ... what are the states of mind that reflect eternity?

You may have been in doubt whether you would rather live forever with peace or anger, love or hate, and these things are not so obvious.
And even if they are, many things are still not.
For eternity is infinite, and none of our thoughts can account for it.

We then have the spirit of God reflected in human existence through his son, Jesus, who has conquered death for eternity, thus revealing to men what is of eternity and what is of death.
We have a way to go, and something to serve.
If what we serve does not serve God, we serve death.
We can serve death, or we can serve God and life.
