January 9, 2025 Reflections of a heretic
La vita può gettare addosso tutti i tipi di terra.
Soprattutto quando ci si trova già dentro un pozzo.
Il segreto per uscire da un pozzo è scrollarsi la terra di dosso e rialzarsi.
Life Lessons. We will be truly free
The life lessons we learn and the experiences we have are the nourishment that will enable us to no longer be vulnerable to adversity.
This means that we will be so aware of our inner strength that everything will slide off like water off a stone.
We will be truly free.
The Five Elements

Earth
Metal
Water
Wood
Fire
Each of these elements represents a different phase of energy and has a cycle of creation and a cycle of destruction.
These two cycles, in opposition to each other, allow the balance within the system to be maintained and prevent one of the elements from taking over.
The seasons
Earth : end of summer
Metal : Fall
Water : Winter
Wood : Spring
Fire : Summer
Spring is associated with Wood, as it represents birth and life.
Summer, which follows Spring, is associated with Fire, a symbol of strength and full energetic expression.
It is followed by Autumn, which is associated with Metal : a time of peace in which energies are gathered and we prepare for a period of inactivity.
Finally, Winter, symbolized by Water, is the period of inactivity and the end of the seasonal cycle.
Earth, on the other hand, represents the “place” where the seasons take shape and manifest themselves during the period of transition and transformation of the seasons.
The Five Life Lessons
1. Always do what you know is right.
Never worry or feel guilty about what you are doing.
Whether in professional or personal matters, follow your instincts.
Your results will be positive in a short time.
2. Go beyond your limits.
The universe will provide you with the help you need.
Never say, “I can’t do it”.
Do not think dogmatically or believe uncritically.
3. Share.
Not just materially.
Knowledge, love, support, understanding.
Never expect anything in return.
Life is like an echo.
If you say “I love you”, the universe will say “I love you” back.
4. Set your own goals.
Long term and short term.
But don’t expect immediate results.
It will be the path of life that will lead you to their achievement.
If you are fully committed to what you are doing, you will eventually reach your goal.
5. Have faith in the energy of the universe.
Don’t have too many expectations and believe in the power of life.
Soon the answers to your doubts will come.
