| Temperance. Capacity of Soul and Body to Live in Harmony together |
Temperance is the Temple where Body and Soul live in Peace.
Religions try to make us believe that Temperance is the Virtue of controlling our basic passions/instincts as if they were "something" that does not belong to the Spirit but to the physical body, since, according to certain religions, only "good" feelings can come from the spirit. .
In truth, religion is right that we must control certain passions,
but they are not passions of the physical body but of the Soul. It is the Spirit that "pushes" the physical body.
Religion also affirms that the body is the temple of the Soul and that we must control it so that it does not get carried away by those instincts that they believe come from
of the body and have a pure temple for a pure Soul. The Reality is that we must make our Soul a Temple since it is this Soul that guides the physical body and not the other way around.
Having the above clear, we will define Temperance in a real and non-religious logical way:
Temperance is the self-control capacity of an individual to remain balanced, centered and relaxed thanks to Love.
Temperance is the self-control capacity of an individual to stay balanced, centered and relaxed thanks to Love.

| Temperance. Keeping the Soul Balanced in Imbalance |
There are two aspects of Life or our Soul that can make us lose control, that is, our ability to stay tempered. The two aspects are overcome with Love.
The first aspect is interior. Our most basic or survival feelings, passions and instincts that make us overflow viciously in sex, in gluttony, in aggressiveness, as if we were animals. In this case we use the lowest level of our Major Chakra System.
Temperance, emotional, mental and sentimental balance.
The second aspect is external. This aspect also makes us react with a survival instinct, and that is when we feel attacked by the inner aspect of imbalance of other beings towards us. We give some examples:
If someone tries to rob, rape, take away our food or kill us, we react with our own unbalanced system of feelings, emotions and instincts, that is,
we will get angry, we will fight and we will try to defend what we believe to be ours tooth and nail, as if we were animals, with a total disharmony.
The two aspects of distemper are caused by fear and both are overcome with Love. Yes, Love is the Force that keeps us tempered.
No one can take anything/something away from us, because nothing is ours. "Do not be afraid of those who can kill your body but not your Soul" "What good is it to gain the world if you lose yourself" or "Turn the other cheek" are just a few quotes from the Bible that illustrate that not we have to live in fear or believe that we have "something". Everything is from God.

| Temperance. Emotional Balance is achieved thanks to Love |
Living raising our Chakra System to the level of Love will keep us in Temperance. We will not need to get angry, fight, get nervous, worry, get upset, desire the other's or the other's. Nor do we get euphoric or altered in bacchanals of supposed "joys" because that would be a symptom of intemperance.
No actions or reactions with "short fuse" (lowest level of the Sacral), raise the energy that tries to unbalance you up to the Heart chakra and react with Love, react with Temperance.
Negative energies love unbalanced people, so they can act through them as channels of energy imbalance for the destruction
of the planet and humanity.
Temperance has its literary root in the word Temple.
Let's make our Soul a Temple where our body can live in Harmony and not the other way around as religions say.
A strong Temple, with foundations of Love, Faith, Hope and Temperance. A Temple where our Soul and body can live in Peace, because Temperance is, neither more nor less, Peace.
