Each of the valleys (Based on the book “Love, 14 valleys for recovery”) is a beacon for illuminating the path of our lives in order to go our way properly. They teach us and increase our knowledge and awareness of ourselves. The first valley taught us to contemplate correctly so that we could change our desires and solve the problems and unknowns of life, cultivate and refine our ego. Finally, we reached the tenth valley cycle that is, from a healthy contemplation to pure love. Now we step into the eleventh valley. To understand this valley, it is necessary to understand its title word for word.
All the roaring rivers and gushing springs will ultimately reach the sea and ocean. Everything that wants to be current in the universe must have an active source. The spring is the source that should be boiling; otherwise, the flowing rivers will then dry up over a distance. Some springs penetrate the rocks and flow out of their heart. These stones can be symbolized as humans whose hearts are devoid of any emotion and feeling. But sometimes the same rocks split, and springs and rivers boil and flow from them. In fact, boiling spring is an allegory of humans who receive the right training, implement it, are placed in the right way, change their position and place by performing honest services, and gain a lot of energy and pleasure that makes them get closer to their goal. For companions, this goal is to achieve happiness and calmness. The effort to achieve energy never stops in the inner world, therefore being spring is highly based on an individual whether it is boiling, dry, or having low levels of water.
Individual’s action and their knowledge play a big role in the performance of the spring. Anti-values cause the spring to become dehydrated and dry, and values cause the spring to become waterlogged. Proper and continuous movements of individuals cause them to flow from a lot of gushing springs and roaring rivers. An individual donates the information and knowledge that belongs to him/her and fills dry rivers that are around him/her. Roaring rivers have many ups and downs along their way meaning there are many problems in their path. However, these difficulties don’t keep them from moving, and they go on their way and finally reach the sea which is peace, that is, the primary and infinite source of energy, and that person changes into energy. He is now drowning in something that once he was seeking a small amount of it in his life. This is the promised heaven. Countless people and they have been able to reach it.
This was achieved when they were willing to give their existence to others like the sun that shines on everything and everyone, no matter what is the language, race, and skin color. Hence, roaring rivers are the allegory of human beings who have reached a high level of desire and motivation and despite obstacles, nothing can stop them. In fact, they have been able to reach this position by avoiding anti-values. I hope that we can untie our ego’s knots by applying Congress60’s instructions and become a gushing spring and roaring river and give it to others with all our being so that we can achieve peace.
