XXVI Gate: inclemency

how will I survive this?
I'm so weak... the only way to manage it is to resist.
To all my wishes, my weakness.
I hate it.
But I will become strong, and even stronger.
Stronger as I was before.
Stronger as anyone before.

I see them, they are faint and atonic.
Do you want to be like them?
No?!
then the only way is to be hard and even harder...
Yes.
My mind is convinced of this.

XXV Gate: Pride

today is the November 26, XXV Gate, Tiphereth in Briah.
This sephirah is the middle of the tree of Life and the XXV gate is half of 50.
I'm in the middle of this spiritual journey and very happy to be here.

Reading what I have written in the past days I feel a sensation of satisfaction.
A Good job.
The analysis of my demons is deep and interesting. Neither pity nor cruelty.

XXIV Gate: Greed

Today is the 25 November, XXIV gate, Netzach in Briah in the week of Hubris.
Coming up to this point require some time. Those 23 gates behind me, are already open, but each and every day I still need to walk trough them. Is a long walk in this dark corridor.
A new day is a new challenge and the same question mark: can I pass trough also this time?

XXIII Gate: Ideologies

Third week, Hubris. Hod in Briah.
We construct around our ideas fortresses of ideologies.
Places structured to place another be inside or outside only.
This is the first step in constructing the idea of an enemy.
But at the end it exist only when the opposite one is there to confirm.
Ideologies are mirrors of the Egos.
Remove the ego and the ideology disappear

XXII Gate: Fantasies

Third week, Hubris. Yesod in Briah.
Fantasy is my preferred genre in books, movies and games.
But the most interesting fantasy of the world is produced by my own mind.
This is one of those moments, staying in the bed and dreaming.
The mind relax.... Jump from a trough to the next.
From a trough to the next...
Wow, this is a very deep one. And this is connected to....

XXI Gate: Materialism

Malkuth in Briah.
Third week, Hubris.

The mind is full of arrogance. I have learned as child how important my mind is.
“Cogito ergo Sum”

Briah is Mind and briah in Malkuth is the apotheosis of MATERIALISM.
This is where I'm.
Everything should be not only logical, but also practical.
Here neither future, nor past exists. Everything is frozen in a eternal stage.
