INTRODUCTION
I
nside each and every one of us there is a silent voice that invites us to find the purpose of being here. The experience of having a physical form, within space and time, has a meaning. We have the natural desire to look for a path, an approach, an instrument, or any other thing that will lead us to begin the growth of our spirit. We call this process Spiritual Growth. Spiritual growth is a radiant experience: we feel totally connected with our Source and with a total, unique and omnipotent purpose; our creative force is activated and our daily lives are filled with a holy, sublime and exceptional energy. We cease judging ourselves and being critical of ourselves and of others, we let go of the discomfort, irritability and anxiety, and the uneasiness we feel toward the behavior of others disappears; our heart sings in gratitude for every breath and we become tolerant, adaptable, flexible, joyous and loving. However, this is not the only thing spiritual growth gives us. It also gives us quality of life because while travelling the path of spiritual growth, we acquire greater capacities, 9
better skills, life becomes simpler and it simply becomes a joyful experience; we are able to achieve success, abundance and prosperity. A highly gratifying and satisfactory life is impossible to achieve without spiritual growth. If people were aware of this extraordinary result, everyone- without hesitationwould initiate this path quickly. We dare to say that it is the best business of all because it has excellent results: inner peace, harmony and happiness, as well as abundance of resources; it opens up the doors to the great universal pantry that provides us with everything limitlessly and without restrictions whatsoever. This universe we live in is immeasurably prosperous and all its prosperity is within our reach; only our great mental limitations make it impossible for us to attain it. After many years of experimenting with many sources of information and wisdom, after having listened to and studied many teachings, we have concluded that in order to take this huge step of initiating our “SPIRITUAL GROWTH� or learning to live in Spirit, in a permanent state of bliss and peace, connected to our true essence, we have to know and apply the Master Keys of Life in our daily existence. WHAT ARE THE MASTER KEYS OF LIFE? They are powerful teaching tools that support us in our daily lives in the adventure of living spiritually, of living in love. 10
In order to discover these wonderful keys, I propose a journey in which you only have to take one step: this step is “PURPOSE”, one sole purpose, and that is to develop our most intimate nature to finally connect with our universe’s natural order and reach a state of true peace, in spite of the obstacles we encounter. The fundamental truth within each of us is the fact that we are “A DIVINE CREATION” and every Creation has a “PURPOSE”. The steps that follow will happen one by one, creating a great transformation in your life. This sole step also has one single result: TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE, improve it, and convert it into a wonderful experience of growth, peace and happiness. You will discover that you become a different person once you put them into practice. There is a risk in this journey, though, and that is the impossibility to turn back; you will not be able to take a step back once you begin your travel. You can abandon it at any moment, but you will not be able to undo the steps you already took, because each step is an accomplishment, something you learned that will give you a positive outcome in your life. And, who would want to abandon positive results? Spiritual growth requires knowledge of three main aspects: 1. Inner development of harmonious, peaceful and joyous coexistence with each and every being in the universe, including ourselves, through the knowledge and training 11
of the master keys of life, until these Master Keys of Life finally become a part of us. This book is mainly focused on the deep understanding of these keys. 2. Understanding the “UNIVERSAL LAWS”, because the Universe we live in is a living, intelligent and creative organism, perfectly and masterfully directed by a Divine source, embracing all circumstances, organizing all events, directing all processes of evolution of all beings, whether individually or collectively, through its laws. Even if we are unaware of these laws, which we are, if we do something against them or violate them, as lawyers would say, the result is inevitable. This is the reason why it is so important to know the laws that govern humanity so that we can abide by them, respect them and obey them; in this manner, we will begin to flow with all that is present in our lives and the satisfactory results in our health, welfare and economic resources will not be far away. 3. Finally, directing our “THOUGHTS” consciously and voluntarily. So mastering the Master Keys of Life, obeying the Laws of the Universe and directing our thoughts are the three essential pillars we must know and practice in order to achieve our spiritual growth. 12
In this book we will extend the information about the Master Keys of Life. In the future, we intend to continue publishing books containing further information for the development of our consciousness. Only you can decide to embark on this incredible journey. You must know that this is a journey that you will begin at some point, sooner or later, there is no way to escape from it. Some day you will begin its path, this is inevitable, and it makes no difference when you begin or when you end, because the importance of it lies in the path traveled. This journey is automatic at first, which means that we are unconscious of the initial steps we take. The need to change ourselves arises, as well as the need to seek alternatives that will transform our lives and allow us to live a more peaceful, harmonious and relaxed life. This initial need later becomes a search; in its primitive phase, we are not even aware of what we are looking for. However, we search in many forms and different places, attend courses and seminars, read intensely, are attentive and open to any information regarding inner growth and development and suddenly, at some point, we attain the consciousness to clearly see that we are travelling a spiritual path and we begin to see a glimpse inside of ourselves that something exists within: I am not my body and if I am not my body, who is living inside this body? 13
“WHO AM I REALLY?” We begin the first internal and external examination to find the answer to these inquiries, and we begin to see that:
WE ARE DIVINE BEINGS LIVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE; NOT HUMAN BEINGS LIVING A DIVINE EXPERIENCE. We have begun our journey back to heaven, to reunite with our Creator. As of this moment, we focus our attention on ourselves; we stop directing it to the outside and we comprehend that everything that occurs outside is the result of what is inside of us. This comprehension allows us to see the need to respect everything that exists; we understand that every event is perfect and necessary and the interest to struggle in order to change things, people, situations and events, simply disappears. This comprehension appears as simple and trivial, but this isn’t so. It is such a deep comprehension that it totally changes a person’s life; it is a quantum leap, stepping into a higher level, beginning a new path- one of conscious spirituality and of return to the Father- in a manner that is clearly, willingly and permanently directed to such purpose. The need to let go of certain unnecessary beliefs, thoughts, actions and emotions that block the process and tie us to suffering, is finally understood. These limiting beliefs feed 14
the ego and weaken the spirit, obstructing the process of the development of consciousness, such as: Believing that we have to change the world or our surroundings: fThis is a belief of the ego, which thinks it knows best and must struggle to change the order of things. The ego does not know that this is a perfect universe, wonderfully directed, in which everything that exists and occurs has a reason and a purpose. Nothing occurs at random or by chance. Believing in the existence of good and evil: fWe have firmly believed in good and evil for centuries, celebrating the former and condemning the latter, without understanding the wonderful purpose of what we call “GOOD” and “EVIL”. By only modifying these terms and calling them “ACTING FROM LOVE” and “ACTING FROM IGNORANCE OR FEAR”, they will become parts of our learning process. All human beings ultimately seek happiness. The mistakes we make by overlooking the Master Keys of Life are what we usually call “EVIL”, not understanding the profound value of mistakes in our evolutionary process. “EVIL” generates unsatisfactory results so that we can learn from them. Believing we own objects and people: fThis belief causes a great deal of suffering. We ignore the fact 15
that people who come into our lives are free and have their own evolutionary process, in which making mistakes is perfect in order to verify the results and learn to respect God’s laws. And regarding the objects and things that life has given us, we are merely their temporary administrators. Freeing ourselves of this belief takes a big weight off our shoulders and, as a result, we build loving relationships. Fearing the future, what may or may not happen: fThis fear leads to a life full of torment and anxiety for not having control of what may or may not happen in the future. We fail to see that the future is merely a result of what we sow here and now. So the focus should be on the here and now, consciously lived and expressed. Imposing our beliefs and behaviors onto others: fThis practice leads us to disrespect others by not accepting them as they are, and not recognizing that they are living their own process. We believe that we are right, and by possessing the truth, we have the right to impose. By disrespecting others, we are sowing a great deal of suffering for our future. Punishing mistakes: fContrary to what we have learned, mistakes are really the only existing method of learning. Using violence, imposition and prohibition as weapons in order to obtain a goal. 16
Blaming others for what happens or for what we feel. Believing that injustice exists. All of these topics will be discussed in detail throughout this book, but please be aware of the following: this book has been designed as a study text. By discussing each of the topics, we intend not only to transmit the information to the reader, but also to install the information in the mind of the reader so that it becomes a tool for daily use. For this reason, “repetition” is the method used. The reader will find that some phrases, topics, concepts and ideas are frequently repeated throughout the book, and, for that, we ask your understanding and patience beforehand, because it has been written that way intentionally and with a determined purpose. The experience of life is the story of our journey back home, and this is the journey we are offering you, “THE JOURNEY BACK TO HEAVEN”. However, to go back to heaven we need the Master Keys of Life, and we cannot open the door without them. This door has 7 big locks, each of which can be opened with one master key; and each has to be acquired through knowledge, training, dedication and determination. Initially, the journey may seem a little odd. You will have to let go of many beliefs that have simply been accepted by our culture with no basis other than they were the custom. However, you must take into account a very important aspect: do not believe anything you read in this book. Don’t modify your beliefs simply because we tell you to do 17
so. Substituting one belief for another is pointless, because it only fills you up with more and more beliefs. Instead, change something within you only when you have verified it, when your life experience tells you it is true and that a certain behavior or way of acting generates an excellent result. Meanwhile, remain with your old beliefs and these new teachings; store the new information in a file you can name as a “verification file”. This means that everything you store in this file is waiting for the opportunity that life will give you to verify it, to do it, and to practice these teachings later on. In time, little by little, things will begin to improve. Everything in your life will begin to fit coherently, much like a puzzle, and your life will have a new color. This book encourages the beginning of a conscious personal growth, a task that cannot be carried out by anybody else and to which we will arrive at some point. When we finally acquire these keys, and have trained ourselves in using them, the result will be that we will have developed three great virtues:
PEACE 1 HAPPINESS 1 LOVE Invulnerable peace: this means that I will not be upset by anything that happens outside of me. Inner happiness: nobody can make me happy. Only I can make myself happy. 18
‘ Love through service to others: true love means serving others unconditionally, anywhere, anytime and under any circumstances. We need Master Keys of Life or Love Tools because life is a learning process about love. The path of life is the path of love, love is its raw material, we come from love and to love we will return. During the journey, questions will come to our minds, questions we had before and could not find truly satisfying answers to. We have learned many ridiculous concepts; some are useless and unnecessary. Nonetheless, they are the foundation of today’s violence, mendicity and disease; things that take away our inner peace and block our ability to express love. However, even after knowing all of this, we resist change. We find justifications and reasons to continue thinking the way we do, acting the way we’ve acted until now, and thus, having the same results of misfortune and suffering. If different and more gratifying things have not occurred in our lives until now, it is because we have not looked for anything different. And when something different comes into our lives, skepticism appears as a HEADLINE and blocks us from advancing in the path of evolution. We are talking about a journey of conscious personal growth, of inner change, of taking responsibility for our
19
own transformation, instead of the usual comfortable inertia or apathy.
LIFE RESPONDS TO ACTION, NEVER TO INERTIA. These keys will help us rid our minds of false beliefs, of old and useless concepts and prejudices and open up to a wiser, more generous and more loving idea of life, of the world, and of ourselves. Actually, nothing should have greater importance and priority in our lives than to grow internally, to make the changes in attitude and ideas that will allow us to act with more flexibility and more wisdom. This is the secret that will lead us to build a full, satisfactory and abundant life. Everything that can be learned is learned by doing it. When the teachings of the Masters are carried to action, practiced and verified, they become wisdom. Any other way would mean the accumulation of beliefs, whether true or false. If they are not practiced, they will remain what they are: worthless “beliefs�. Action will lead us to obtain results that will multiply in a chain reaction. So I invite you to initiate your own action in order to begin your wonderful journey through the path of Love. This will transform your life into a pleasant and charming adventure.
