🌍 Chapter analyzed
On this earth, we can be anything we want
🔹 1. Everything is possible – the spiritual perspective on diversity
Carla Furtado begins this chapter with a statement that seems simple but is extremely powerful:
> "On this earth, we can be anything we want."
This phrase anchors the entire reflection in an idea of supreme spiritual freedom – a freedom that is not bound by the constraints of the material world, but by the inner capacity to choose, express and accept diversity.
It encourages us to see life as an experience:
lived,
felt,
temporarily borrowed,
in which nothing truly belongs to us, but through which we can discover our eternal essence.
> "The greatness of Spirit is expressed in all forms... because It is all possibilities."
🔍 This idea is central to the entire book: accepting difference as an expression of manifested divinity, not as an obstacle.
🔹 2. The Law of Correspondence – the spiritual microcosm and macrocosm
> "That which is above is like that which is below.
That which is within is like that which is without."
(Hermetic Law of Correspondence)
This ancient law, which the author brings up, is a fundamental principle of Hermeticism and all great spiritual traditions: what happens within you is reflected in the world around you.
➡️ Ama Dalfovo connects this principle with the educational process and with existence itself as a spiritual school:
Where lessons come through differences.
Where acceptance becomes liberation.
> "Living with diversity is the liberation of the soul itself."
This is a key phrase. It redefines tolerance: it is not just acceptance of the other, but a path to your inner liberation.
🔹 3. Shadows and judgment – encountering the hidden self
Carla writes with moving clarity about judgment and projection:
> "When you look at someone and judge them, that gaze returns to you."
This is a profound psychological concept, also inspired by Jung: what you reject in others is often what you have not integrated into yourself.
> "Shadows are not bad, they are just repressed."
💡 Important message: The shadow is part of the Whole, and unconditional love begins with the total acceptance of one's own being, including those rejected, hidden, or painful aspects.
🔹 4. Diversity as divine play—from judgment to curiosity
> "Because one is ugly and the other is beautiful, thin and fat, pink and blue.
Doesn't it seem like child's play?"
This question gracefully dismantles the stereotypes and prejudices that govern the adult world. Carla proposes a return to innocence—to that pure and neutral curiosity with which children explore the world.
🔁 Change of perspective:
You no longer see the "strange" as a threat,
but as another expression of Creation.
> "Do you judge the flower? Do you judge Creation? It doesn't even make sense."
This rhetorical question is essential: when you judge difference, you are opposing the Universe itself.
🔹 5. The Law of Polarity – learning through extremes
Carla brings up another Hermetic law:
> "All truths are half-truths. All paradoxes can be reconciled."
This law teaches us that opposites are complementary and that each extreme helps us understand the whole:
Failure prepares you for success.
Pain opens the door to compassion.
Shadow makes you appreciate light.
She goes even further:
> "How will you know the Kingdom of Heaven within you if you have not felt the fire of your hell?"
This phrase has a mystical depth rarely found in educational writings. Carla suggests that even failures, mistakes, and suffering are part of your spiritual journey and cannot be excluded or denied.
🔹 6. Healing through vibration and presence
The chapter ends with a vision of inner alchemy:
> "Everything is vibration.
Just by glimpsing this awareness, we can immediately change our state... and shine our True Self."
This is an optimistic and uplifting conclusion:
We don't have to change the outside world first,
but change our inner state, and reality will align with our new vibration.
🧩 Defining quotes from the chapter:
"We are the portals through which everything manifests. The actors of the Great Divine Play."
"The universe puts us together with different people so that we can learn from them."
"To see the beauty of another is to see your own reflection."
"How can you know what success is if you don't experience failure?"
🕯️ General conclusion:
This chapter is perhaps the most mystical and transformative of all so far. Carla Furtado speaks here from a place of deep spiritual integration:
Where diversity becomes a path to awakening,
The shadow becomes an ally,
And judgment is replaced with acceptance, love, and discernment.
It is a plea for non-duality in education and for the profound humanization of the relationship with oneself and with others.
