We find ourselves in January, a month dedicated since ancient times to the god Janus—a formidable, double-faced figure. One face gazes into the past, while the other points towards the future. For Janus, there is no gift; the present is merely the fleeting instant that divides what was and what will come, without fixing or stopping at either. Similarly, January bears no gift. One face serves as a reminder of the past year, while the other represents the hope of the future. This duality appears to equally influence humanity, sometimes taking the form of indecision, preventing clear recognition of the path to follow.
(...)
In its perpetual quest to extract the best from our surroundings, Janus imparts a lesson: not to confine dreams solely to the present. Nothing endures when built upon the fragility of a fleeting minute that swiftly passes.
(...)
January wears two faces, much like life itself—the sum of all that has been done and the responsibility for all that remains to be accomplished.

The fall equinox marks the official start of Autumn when day and night are roughly equal in length. Just like nature, may we also find balance in our actions, thoughts and relationships.

In this quote the poet emphasizes the importance of growth, progress, and not remaining stagnant in life. It encourages us to constantly move forward and evolve rather than dwelling in the past or staying in the same place.

Today marks the 66th anniversary of Professor Jorge Angel Livraga starting this philosophical and spiritual adventure called New Acropolis. He invites us to reflect that, at this very moment, in any place where there is a New Acropolis school, somewhere in Europe, America, Africa or Asia, a class or meeting will be taking place. And there will be young people advertising it. It's a movement that does not cease, because when it ends in one place, it begins in another. And when a new day dawns over the heads of some Acropolitans, over those of others, somewhere in the world, night falls.

And these Acropolitans do this not only out of the spiritual impulse of their souls, but out of simple generosity and brotherly love. They teach the possibility of creating a fairer and better world and sow it with handfuls.

Happy anniversary New Acropolis!

Look within and talk to your self! What are you truly striving for? At what costs? What are you putting out into the world?

We must look within to understand how to move forward.

"The universe is deathless,
Is deathless because having no finite self, It stays Infinite.
A sound man by not advancing himself,
Stays the further ahead of himself.
By not confining himself to himself
Sustains himself outside himself:
By never being an end in himself
He endlessly becomes himself.
- Lao Tzu
