It is in these Parks that the works of School are carried out, a set of studies and practices which allow access to experiences of contact with hidden internal dimensions whose depth cannot be captured by the language or the categories of space-time in which we believe we live. However, in particular circumstances, it becomes accessible, manifesting or erupting in experiences that move our consciousness and change our lives decisively. We experience that which has no name but which nevertheless has meaning – contact with an unfathomable profundity where space is infinite and time is eternal. Although brief, these experiences are of great consequence because they give us meaning, joy, and fulfillment.
Since ancient times we human beings have perceived the trajectory of our life and its finiteness. We ask ourselves where we've come from and where we are going, and we experience the search for meaning, while also feeling the need to overcome pain and suffering. And every time the human consciousness has managed to glimpse the profundity of the Mind, inspired answers have arisen and great forces have been released. The rapture of falling in love, the inspiration of artists, and the ecstasy of mystics, all have their source in those common depths. The great religious and spiritual currents that have manifested throughout history were also born from these “sacred” experiences.
On this planet of ours, in which societies are rapidly becoming globalized, it will be precisely a renewed experience of contact with the transcendent which could foster a recognition and spiritual encounter between the peoples of the world.
The Parks of Study and Reflection are places for meeting and for the spreading of a new spirituality that rejects all forms of violence and discrimination; a spirituality that appeals to that sacred dimension of the human mind to find freedom and meaning. Every human being, no matter what their beliefs, may participate in this emotional, moving and experiential path.
The Parks of Study and Reflection that are appearing on all continents signal the search for, and expression of, the sacred; that is, of the best aspirations of the human being who today is preparing to awaken from a profound sleep.
A new civilization is being born and will go acquiring its representation in the world, which will be the translation of that profound reality.
