Let us continue with selections from ‘Así Hablaba Quetzalcóatl (Thus Spoke Quetzalcóatl),’ with insightful wisdom on living life with love, focusing on noble thoughts and deeds, and avoiding criticism of others. MY NAME... “And He answered: Do not restrict me by naming me. You already have done enough giving a name to this body I am dressed in and to the role I play in this existence. Only those who penetrate within themselves and know themselves will know my Name. Because my Name dwells in every heart. Many are those who have come to this School of the World and have been confused by their names and have been worshipped for their names, but not for the truth they told, which is their real name. The name of a path is only known when it is walked on. Walk then my path, and you will know my name. In the meantime, be friends of silence because my Name is the brother of silence. His name is Myself His name is Ourselves. His name is the Truth.” ABOUT VANITY “Someone arrived and told Him: Master, talk to us about Vanity. And this is how He spoke to them: Vanity is not but the dress in which things are covered with in order to be desired. Pay attention, because I have said desire, not love. Desire is the source of selfishness, while Love is the Light of the heart. Thus I tell you: do not desire the dress, but that which it covers, and in this way, you will not nurture vanity in your brothers.” THERE ISN’T A WORSE BLINDNESS “And so He, with majesty and calmness, talked to them in this way: You become united in order to confront each other, but not in order to defend the unity in all things. You become united to fight each other, but not in order to smooth things over and to build. You become united by words and formulism, but in your hearts, you are as distant as the clouds from the stars. And you call all this collective consciousness. You support each other for selfish purposes, which tend to deteriorate you instead of elevating you.” FAULTFINDING AND CALUMNIATION “And a mother approached Him, surrounded by all her children. Then the ones who came with Him said: Don’t talk to that woman because she has a bad reputation, and she doesn’t have a husband. And He answered them: You boast by commenting on other people’s misfortunes, and your tongues take delight in telling how your brothers fell down when facing the obstacles life put in front of them. How many are the thorns you stitch into your already hurt hearts, and how many are the sorrows added by yourselves to your own griefs! How long will it take for the Earth to loosen itself from the seeds of faultfinding and calumniation, as well as to charge at them and uproot them by force from man’s heart?”
