(thank you Trudi Richards the English translation)

"My interest in writing this brief essay is to compile and relate various notes or annotations made in relation to my experience with Silo's Message, particularly in relation to the topic of the sacred and immortality.

Faced with the issue of finitude — my own or another's — I am constantly faced with questions that do not leave me alone — questions about the meaning of my life, about the future, and about "what to do" with my existence.

I am experiencing "a moment" in which — perhaps due to accumulation — all these thoughts and reflections are no longer separate but are beginning to combine and merge into "greater realities." This has happened only since I've begun to feel a real need to place a transcendental purpose at the center of my life, a purpose that goes beyond the death of the physical body. As I clarify and emotionally charge this purpose, it operates on all these different ideas and experiences, stirring them in a kind of spiritual whirlpool or "churn" that seems to grow with each new turn..."

Comments on Silo's Message

THE BOOK

Dear Silo:

Almost 30 years ago, the first time I read "The Inner Look", I felt I understood everything. It has never happened to me again. You suggest meditating deeply and unhurriedly on the book and, after many years, one day I took your advice. I managed not to move on until I had a minimal register of the passage or chapter I was reading. When I started reading, I imagined I would dedicate twenty days to it, one for each chapter. But it took me much longer: three months to be exact because the registers did not come linearly. I moved forward, backward, sometimes I stopped, sometimes for quite a long time... then I realized that I had stuck right at experiencing resistance and fatigue at every step, and by finally recognizing the meaning of that phrase, I was able to move forward with an almost physical understanding of the text, not just simple memorization. In this way, my internal perception increased, which produced a shift in the way I structured reality, it became less dogmatic and more heartfelt. At the same time, I became aware of the purpose of what I was doing, and I was able to verify that, although I had forgotten it after formulating it, in the end I found what I was looking for, what I had set out to achieve.

Experiences of disseminating Silo's Message in Sergipe and the north of Bahia

06/21/2023

The main antecedent of having a place for experiences was the Sul de Minas Hall. Inaugurated in November 2016, this Hall of Silo’s Message and the communities that were formed with messengers and local families gave us another perspective. With a small initial group of messengers from São Paulo (Margarete, Lourdes, Roberto and me), we had the experience of taking the Message to families, communities and people in need of affection, support and meaning. At the same time, we learned from these families and communities.

Living with Braga Barros, Sueli, Getúlio, Doña Luzia and many other friends from the Sul de Minas Hall opened our future and encouraged us to take the Message to other regions of the country.
