Contemplations

Always feeling alone With just a few that you could call your own Being a fugitive all around And with a sense of home when no one’s in town Have tried to explain or make a sense But with hopes always becoming less Divided between the “normal” and the truth In desperation, all thoughts will endure Family, siblings, and friends Cannot understand why you are so careless Being in a world of your own No one feels your love for the unknown Now your spark flashes from inside And all life seems to be at your side You learned that what others find normal Is the end of your potential United with your inner calling You spread your wings as life is unfolding Released from invisible chains and free To where reality identifies with the dream.

I think we all agree that human improvement is an important factor in our lives, regardless of worldview. Could we therefore enrich and recognize ways that promote this process? While there is a huge industry of personal development methods with ramifications of productivity, joy, relationships, etc., I would say that in fact the vast majority of them by nature are made to be restrictive on a large scale. Even if these methods are useful, they are just tools, they are ways of approaching life issues that concern another "human universe" and it is almost impossible to be purely fit to others. In today's podcast, we will get to know the two key elements that will be leading us forever to the enchanting course of authentic self-evolution.

It seems that we have the tendency to criticize others with the certainty that we know what is appropriate for them. But do we ever take into account that they have a different mind and different needs? Because behind this attitude is hidden an underlying egoism which is leading us away from being open to different ideas but most importantly to potential changes that are required for our own characters.

A basic feature of our mind is that it is very often "lost" in a series of thoughts that affect how we feel, how we see things and how we react to situations. Most importantly, however, we are not experiencing the situations we are in, creating impressions from the perspective of our ideas and far from direct objective experience. The latter can only be achieved if we remain present and awake observers, but what exactly do we mean when we say we are mindful and how this is achieved?

What do we mean when we say I know myself? That is, say, I know something that is myself and belongs to me? So I know myself but not me. But who is me that is something other than myself? These kinds of questions I try to analyze in this podcast. Also, if I'm myself how do I often do things that I do not recognize later when I remember them? Where was I? Still I find restrictive the perception that most seem to have, that they are altruists, neurotic, jocund and other ratings. Such descriptions I would say that they are ultimately talking about something much smaller than what we really are and I think the process of self-awareness is of much higher importance.

Others are constantly seeking change, others are portrayed as proud to remain the same. Others sometimes are identified with one idea and others with the opposite. So, to refine under what conditions we can say that a change is prudent and under which stability is synonymous with character integrity? What is it that makes a difference? In addition, what characteristics do you need to have in order to diagnose when a change is needed and what to understand when a change has to happen in a healthy way and to be maintained in the long run?

How can we get something that we want or find ourselves in a situation that we would much like? As usual, I notice in society a dipole. On the one hand, those who believe that the result is a direct consequence of the effort, and on the other the ones who think they can simply ask for something and the universe will offer it to them. In my opinion, on the one hand, we have an overestimation of the effort and, on the other, a devaluation of it as there is no idea of even the slightest change in themselves. I say that there is a way to synthesize these two sides. And if we put into order the principles that seem to govern life then we will understand that we are always creators and, ultimately, we have always had what we really deserved. And through this understanding we can now consciously acquire and find what we sincerely desire without any particular difficulties.

What happens when you believe in something too much? Most people may think that is necessary to have an "identity." And that the more deeply we have come into it the more proud we must feel. But have we noticed that this unilateral devotion is ultimately the one that leads us to a greater separation? Athletics are a good example, however, identification may not be so distinct. Perhaps without realizing, your conceptions and reactions come from a certain system of ideas. Especially if this has been shown with a positive "underpinning" like morale, modern, progressive, and so on. This is why strong alertness is required. As long as you are free from any intense faith, any attachment so that your flexibility is reborn and you live with authenticity!

Previous August I experienced the magnificence of hiking the Cinque Terre and of visiting all 5 villages. It's a place of outstanding beauty; blue sea, colorful-picturesque houses built on the edge of the rocks, olive trees and vineyards. I felt, thus, the need to describe this experience in detail.

What do we mean by metaphysics today? Does it often give us the impression that it is something outside the natural? For my part, I can see a great admiration on a theoretical level in ancient philosophies, but at the same time a huge ignorance of the overwhelming majority of people for what is, in reality, described there. This is evident from the fact that we seem to be indifferent or even we intimidate elements that have appeared there when they are presented to us without the reference of their origins. On the contrary the materialistic tendencies that we seem to display as a society has shaped our perception based on totally different ideas which in my opinion is a matter of time to be understood as unrealistic.

I know well what it's like to be attached to something, to give it all, to think about it all the time, to try with more and more passion, but the results to not be coming; on the contrary, to feel that life totally disappoints you and does not give you what you are entitled to . This disturbs you and makes you angry because you probably think that your mental or physical body effort should produce better results. But does life work this way? And if anyone still says that this is true of inanimate acquisitions, is it the same with relationships with living beings? Each one literally represents a different universe with countless thoughts, needs, experiences, and so on. Are relationships with other people simply goals or something far wider, something that can not be acquired or achieved?

How much do the words we use and the labels in general limit us? We are accustomed to using them, and through them we are talking but often we neglect to take into account that the elements with which we have identified them do not necessarily describe the existing situation. Or when we describe ourselves, are we the same as anybody else bearing the same label or is there a reason not to do any action that seems unbalanced in relation to the label?

Fear seems to be dominant, from the collective level to the deepest individual. Its "tentacles" appear everywhere, from emotional relationships to the labor market. Its consequences seem to be directly reflected in how we behave, how we make decisions and how we live. What I am debating is how much this is justified. I am concerned that we allow its influence on us and I understand that we can defend ourselves, while at the same time, we can also understand the reasons that is caused and by whom. Because I think there are roads away from that which are even more realistic.

I am wondering what most people consider as being informed if not to learn like parrots just the information provided by the big news agencies? Especially with today's technology people being connected to the internet for the most part of the day, it's easier to learn the news by heart. How can one think he has a real perception of reality when his knowledge is limited to what the few specific networks that have the most resources show him? What kind of thinking do people think they have cultivated when their knowledge doesn't seem to go any further from a sample of supposedly different ideas that ultimately all serve the same purpose of those who control these networks? Can you have a fair judgment when you can not even imagine or be open to go beyond the popular ideas?

What does it mean to pursue happiness? First of all, indeed, it doesn't make sense to not look for beautiful feelings. But the fact that we are chasing something doesn't also show something about our attitude towards our present situation? Isn't it sometimes causing us to deny the present moment and be looking at a vague future? I believe life can become much more harmonious if we start managing events differently, if we understand how much we are affected by labels we have subconsciously put them on.

While the incidents of diagnosed depression are growing rapidly in the western world, the usual practices of immediate drug-type solutions seem to be unable to provide the solution. As much as victims and therapists prefer them, they just hide the problem under the surface instead of curing it, which actually makes the situation worse. So I think it is necessary to approach the problem with less direct but more radical methods - where possible - and what I'm doing in this podcast is to try to analyze in what ways Self-awareness can be more beneficial in the therapy and even more in the prevention.

In this article, I find that either because of financial crisis or other reasons many young people are confined to environments with older people who, while supposed to be there to help them, they actually drag them down. It is often difficult to get away from that as these people have been there since the time they first remember themselves and they may not be able to imagine their life differently. However, through my own experience, I have found that a radical change of life is crucial and the usefulness of getting away of these influences enormous.

What if we take a look at the fast-growing country for more than 15 years (> 6%), Vietnam with the amazing weather for the most part of the year, the wonderful landscapes, the marvelous food and the friendly people? Last January I traveled in Vietnam for almost a month from the south to the north and I became impressed by its infrastructure. In Podcast, I'm looking at how it would be possible for someone to move there for a while. But because life is not just what it looks like in tourist pictures, many of the popular places are not ideal. In my opinion, the city of Hoi An in central Vietnam includes all the necessary features at the appropriate dosage to provide many benefits to an expatriate from the West.

In this podcast I am doing a decompilation of this particular Greek myth. How can it compare to the way we face life in relation to our needs and aspirations? What role do the latter play in our relationship with the mystery of life and how do we act on them? How real is ultimately what we perceive as future, and don't we sometimes overdo it and do not give value to the present moment? And if we contemplate on it, all these present moments are the ones that will eventually lead us to situations more suitable for us. Also, if we think of improvement as a goal, wouldn't it be useful to refine it a little more, as it is only a label that can easily drag us into situations not helpful to us?

I am wondering what is considered normal by most if not what the majority considers normal? At the same time do we personally believe that what most people say is always right? Would we not, therefore, need to think that perhaps we have to make a conscious choice between whether we want to agree with most or whether it leaves us unaffected to be considered "weird?" Then the other side behind the curtain appears, the bright one, where life becomes simpler, more authentic and way more flexible.
