32 JUSTICE AND MEDITATION

 

It is possible that what determines that a normal person chooses to choose total justice or justice with exceptions as a moral norm is the level of concentration or dedication to the philosophy that he has, because the mind of a philosopher is oriented above all to the crystalline, vertical and blue dimension that is the one that corresponds to spiritual values, and instead the mind of a normal person is oriented above all towards the warm, red and horizontal dimension that is the one that corresponds to life based on work and the family. Therefore, it is possible that philosophers generally prefer total justice as a rule of moral conduct, because their mind is concentrated and connected to the vertical and blue dimension that is the one that corresponds to justice, the future, and the cyclical character of the universe. It is as if with his mind he unifies the entire universe into one thing and as a consequence they see others as part of themselves. But most people have a more dispersed mind than philosophers because it is connected to the horizontal, red dimension and more related to the present than to the future. This helps them see the world from a more individual point of view. It is possible that the sum of these circumstances determines that people, in general, prefer justice with exceptions as the main rule.

Most people live life with little dedication to metaphysics and with little concentration, but that is the right thing to do when performing the normal functions of life. Work or family push the mind towards matter and make metaphysical analyzes difficult, they also make us unconsciously give more value to the present than to the future, this is not bad at all but it is normal, because life in matter it has to be by nature more physical, sensual, and dedicated to the pleasures of the physical senses than philosophers do, because if everyone were to dedicate themselves to philosophy the world could not function. The philosopher, on the other hand, tries to be happy with his mind investigating and dreaming of an ideal world and then hand it over to others so that together it is possible to make it real. If we see it from that point of view, a philosopher is, in reality, an explorer of the mind who enjoys discovering new territories when the world has not yet completed its technological and moral development. This means that under normal circumstances the correct thing is that physical tasks occupy us 85% of the time and those of a philosophical, meditative or spiritual type occupy us only 15% except in the case of philosophers or some scientists, which is the other way around. This is how the world reaches its equilibrium. This means that the amount of time that the population must dedicate to meditation is governed by the norm and the exception that determines that physical work must be the norm and deep meditation or the study of metaphysics must be the exception. This is correct for the majority of the population but, on the other hand, for philosophers, it would be the other way around, because this is how humanity acquires, in this regard, the balance of potentials.

It must be borne in mind that the goal of life is to be happy and happiness can be obtained from both the material plane and the spiritual plane, therefore, the key is to properly combine both dimensional planes. What I try to show with this is that the life that prophets or philosophers live can be exciting because of their ability to visualize in their mind the world of the future, due to their discoveries they can even be considered superior beings, but they cannot They may be happy until the rest of the citizens with whom they live understand and share their teachings or their same evolutionary level, that is to say that in reality the philosophers are ahead of the rest of the citizens but in order that at a certain moment that knowledge is common to all and then they can live as normal citizens because then all will be superior beings like them. This is so, because a higher being can only be happy when he lives surrounded by other higher beings.

In reality, the high and concentrated task that philosophers perform cannot be general either, the normal thing is that the individual mind is dispersed and merged with the collective mind because under normal conditions it is not possible to dedicate more than a small amount to meditation of time, therefore, people tend to be inclined to accept the opinions generally accepted by the majority because they do not have enough time to be able to study each situation in detail. When people live a normal life they try to be happy with the pleasures that life can offer through the use of the senses, travel, or the enjoyment of technology, that is, with everything that with our body and contact with matter. We can get. On the other hand, the philosopher tries to obtain pleasure through meditation, looking for what can favor progress. He enjoys imagining how this hypothetical future world could be trying to understand its keys, and when he manages to solve all his doubts, he offers his conclusions to society. But that is only possible when there is an evolutionary difference between the world of the present and the world we have to reach. In other words, it occurs on those planets that have not yet finished their evolution process because there is a technological difference between what we have and what we need to complete evolution. That means that a philosopher is like an explorer who is ahead of the majority of the population while there are still intellectual territories to discover.

However, the function of a philosopher or an engineer cannot be general, because if everyone were to dedicate themselves to that function the changes would be too hasty and there would not be time to sufficiently verify their usefulness. Nor should we forget that the world we know is a proven design that can continue to work for some time. That means, the changes that the philosophers provide are only modifications of that design, so it is best that the changes are made slowly to avoid making mistakes. It is as if philosophers are actually engineers of the mind dedicated to designing a better future for humanity, but since the present is already designed, then it is enough that only a small number of people dedicate themselves to the task of changing that present. It must be borne in mind that if all were dedicated to science or philosophy then there would not be enough people to dedicate themselves to the other professions.

In the future, the world will greatly reduce its speed of progress when humanity completes its evolutionary process. This means that when that time comes the role of philosophers or inventors will have to greatly reduce their work because their role is precisely to complete the technological and moral progress of humanity. The normal thing, therefore, is that most people have most of their mind dedicated to the material and extroverted life that is characterized by having a low level of concentration, but it is also logical that they dedicate a minor amount of time To deep meditation and the study of spiritual values, this is necessary to find inner balance and to understand what the real world is. This means that a person who lives a normal life in the horizontal dimension may unconsciously choose to choose justice with exceptions as a moral norm, but in that case, the most important thing is that he would continue to consider justice as the main axis of that behavior. In any case and when in doubt, I prefer to defend total justice as a basic moral norm.
