With a Little Help from Our Friends

The Institutum Provisorium, registered cultural association, (Provisional Institute) has reached its historical peak of coherence since for a few months we have found ourselves in the highest level of provisionality experienced so far. Although we had long prepared ourselves for such an eventuality, I openly admit that we are having a hard time. I write this with some uneasiness, because the institute has always found a way to solve its problems on its own, finding itself every time able to offer help to those who needed it. Now realistically, I can’t help but ask for help.
In this world, many organizations working on the path of multidimensional awareness have been experiencing serious impediments for some years. At the same time, we are aware that a state of emergency and malaise at an ordinary level is the smokescreen of a state of abundance and well-being at other levels. Paradoxically, the more we have material difficulties, the more we can be useful to others if we continue to respond to our true calling. This can happen, however, if we are transparent about the difficulties we encounter and allow others to help us, also allowing them to be helpful according to their calling.
For some months, this institute has found itself in multiple pragmatic difficulties. One of these concerns the deprivation of our operational headquarters and the consequent impossibility of carrying out our activities. Together with other serious economic and social collateral damage, this has given us a hard logistical and financial blow. This occurred in the context of an already rather critical scenario, in which we managed to carry on our work, albeit at the cost of considerable sacrifices.
The essence of our work is based on the belief that every aspect of existence is interconnected, so by transforming ourselves and helping others to do the same, we can fully awaken our true nature. This means that our daily actions, as well as our thoughts, affect the lives of everyone around us. In the dark global scenario of recent years, the ongoing transformation may appear rather disheartening. The luminous side is that our true nature is resilient. It can recover, get back up and start again. No one can hit as hard as human life does; therefore, it is not important how you hit, the important thing is to resist the blows. If you end up knocked down here you need to retrieve the strength to get back up. And if is not possible to get up alone, asking for or providing help is vital.
We believe that one of the best ways to get back on your feet in this world is to stay true to one’s values. Nothing can truly transform unless we commit ourselves more and more firmly to promoting light, each time finding new strategies in this regard. A comforting passage in A Course in Miracles, reads that a full commitment to the light is within everyone’s reach, while a total commitment to the darkness is impossible. “No one has ever lived who has not experienced a little light, so no one is able to totally deny the truth, even if he thinks he can.” So, the truth will undoubtedly triumph, but in the meantime what counts is strengthening our search, because any further delay is only destined to produce further suffering.
We intend to be useful and generous in offering our contribution in this world, correcting ourselves every time we miss the mark, operating in the most luminous way both in this and other realities, and helping others to do the same. This means counting on synergistic and divine help that goes far beyond personal capabilities. As the proverb says, “Help Yourself, God Helps You!”, helping oneself requires the honesty and humility to ask others for help if we are unable to do so.
