The bells ring once
again to let us know
that Christmas has
returned. With it, the
desires of the child
that we keep alive
within us, waiting to be
graced by the good old
man with our “Christmas
present”.
It is not my purpose to
discuss Christmas
legends here, but rather
to promote some
reflections on this
period in the Christian
calendar: What do we
really need? What would
we ask, in a little
letter, for the good old
man to answer us?
During a turbulent year
on our planet, with the
pandemic still in alert
and medical-sanitary
care phase; wars still
taking lives; people
dissatisfied with the
results of their life
stories; the world
population increasing
significantly,
concentrated in the
metropolises of the
nations as a harbinger
of the lack of food for
survival; hatred taking
over the debates; social
discussions and reviews
overlapping with class
struggles; families in
emotional maladjustment
or severe conflicts;
parents and children
fighting each other and
prioritizing antagonism,
causing deep psychic
wounds in
socio-educational
centers and reaching
families as the maximum
cell, are just some of
the reasons for us to
reflect on the questions
proposed.
It seems to me that the
legitimate honoree is
certainly embarrassed by
what we did with his
seeds of love, which He
left planted throughout
the world, especially in
our consciences, but
which have not yet
germinated enough to
overwhelm so many
mistaken behaviors.
Its effect, sung in
verse and prose, seems
not to have reached its
ultimate purpose, which
is to make the human
soul better than at the
time when He, the
Master, was walking
among us in the body of
a man on this incredible
planet.
What is happening to us?
Has the attentive reader
already made this brief
reflection?
It seems that a part of
humanity, that is, us,
is not doing “our
homework”. Both young
people, adults and
long-lived people, for
the most part, find
themselves in emotional
imbalance, in need of
urgent psycho-spiritual
therapy, to resume the
path of adjustments to
humanized human
behavior, in the
direction pointed out by
the gospels and so well
explained by Paul of
Tarsus in 1st
Corinthians, 13: “Love
is patient, it is kind;
love is not envious, it
is not arrogant, it is
not ambitious, it does
not seek its own
interests, it is not
irritated, it does not
bear resentment for evil
suffered, it does not
rejoice in injustice,
but rejoices in the
truth; excuses
everything, believes
everything, hopes
everything, supports
everything.”
The word “love”
certainly appeared with
Jesus, when he gave a
specific meaning to this
energy that transforms
people, redirecting
paths and purposes.
When Master Jesus left
us the great commandment
of the Law, in response
to the Pharisee who
questioned him: “Love
the Lord your God with
all your heart, with all
your soul and with all
your mind. This is the
great and first
commandment. And the
second, similar to this,
is: Love your neighbor
as you love yourself.
All the Law and the
prophets depend on these
two commandments”
(Matthew, 22: 37 to 40),
it was characterized as
a vibration that until
then was unknown on
Earth.
Science, increasingly
adjusted in research,
has offered vast
material for our
understanding and
knowledge of what is
invisible to our
physical eyes, but
perceptible to feelings
and emotions. Nowadays,
it is possible to
establish numerical
values in the energies
that vibrate from our
thoughts, feelings, and
emotions, thanks to Dr.
David Hawkins, an
American psychiatrist
and writer, who since
1970 has dedicated his
life to the study of
human emotions, building
a scale of values that
measure the vibrational
frequencies of each
human emotion in
numerical value measured
in Hertz (Hz).
On the aforementioned
scale, the frequency of
love measures 528 Hertz,
which research suggests
has healing power and is
therefore used by church
priests and healers from
ancient civilizations to
achieve “miracles”.
In Matthew 15: 30 and
31, we find the
following quote: And
many crowds came to Him,
bringing with them the
lame, the blind, the
maimed, the mute, and
many others, and they
left them at the feet of
Jesus, and He healed
them. The people were
amazed to see that the
mute spoke, the crippled
recovered their health,
the lame walked and the
blind saw. And they
glorified the God of
Israel. Which makes us
believe that the cures
and miracles promoted by
Jesus and taught to the
apostles were obtained
using the resources of
science, which until
then were unknown to
men. In the healing of
Peter's mother-in-law,
He just took her by the
hand and the fever left
her. She got up and
began to serve him
(Matthew, 8: 15).
Spiritist literature is
permeated with stories
and facts that confirm
the cures achieved by
people who resorted to
this practice, with
faith and trust. In the
book “Beautiful Cases”
by Bezerra de Menezes,
Ramiro Gama describes
the following episode
that occurred when
leaving Dr. Bezerra's
office: A man who had
taken his wife for
consultation in the
morning had waited for
him until the end of the
day. Crying, he
questions Dr. Bezerra
saying: “I don't have
money to buy the
medicines you filled in
the prescription. My
wife is burning with a
fever. For mercy,
doctor, help me!” Our
lovely Dr. Bezerra,
overcome by the emotion
of the moment, says to
that man: “I have no
coins to give you. The
last ones stayed with
the last customer
served. However, give
her this hug and tell
her it is in the name of
Jesus.” The man was
involved in the healing
frequency, which was
then transmitted to his
wife, who was certainly
cured.
In my opinion, it is
characterized that the
vaccine in the fight
against all apparent and
hidden evils, which
nowadays are disruptive
elements of good
coexistence and social
conflicts, has a name
endorsed by our guide
and model, Jesus: it is
called LOVE! This
vibrational frequency
that humanity finds
itself forgotten or
denying its existence.
Science and Religion are
certainly already
connected. It now
remains for us to put
these new concepts into
daily practice in our
habits, rescuing Love in
its greatest essence, as
it was taught and
practiced by Jesus two
thousand years ago.
Here is our suggestion
for the letter we should
send to Santa Claus:
“This Christmas, I want
to receive and give Love
as a gift!”
