TRUTH OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS

The subconscious -excluding the part determined by social situation to which a person belongs, is the human being in its totality. She who experiences the subconscious knows herself deeply and truly. Often the truth of ourselves creates pain and we want to deny it, remove it. But if we get close to it with tenderness and compassion we will receive tremendous benefit and great regenerative strength.

VITAL CHALLENGE

If we tend to reach material, economic or social goals without a simultaneous interior growth, without spiritual and psycho-spiritual awareness, we are destined to enter into a dimension so destructive it can bring us to the end of humanity.

Therefore we are before a vital challenge.

A constant dimension exists, even if it is buried at times, in human history, where hate is the true source of cruel actions.

I have always understood psycho-spirituality as a spiritual practice where negative and destructive emotion like hate should be recognized and transformed.

POEM

Immersed in the silence of my hermitage, as I prepare the new book that is usually published –for the last 20 years- in the fall by the Pauline’s, I couldn’t resist writing a poem.

As night dims

The first rays of sun

Dance

Through the flowering silver star

Spider web

To seize

The last shreds

Of dream

That float

still

in my eyelids

closed.

COMBATTING THOUGHTS

From the many comments received on the blog, I have understood that the topic of our thoughts is felt strongly. Maybe also because few are the specialists who deal with thoughts. Besides the more than 30 years of psychoanalytic practice and psychotherapy, long periods living as a hermit help me in this. On the other hand, I am more and more convinced that hermits, the few that still exist, and true cloistered monks who are used to silence and prayer, have more to do with thoughts than any other human beings. In the next few posts I will talk to you about thoughts, how to combat, manage, welcome them….

I know the great power of thoughts.

Ever since I was a child, I felt it as a calling and I undertook this long journey of learning to become a teacher of combating thoughts.

The mind is the most powerful place of the human being.

Mental images and thoughts become true engines of human action.

And so our combat must be turned toward the invisible things, to our thoughts and mental images, rather than people in flesh and blood.

WE ARE WHAT WE THINK

We are what we think.

If you let your mind be constantly inhabited by sad thoughts, you won’t likely encounter positive, fecund opportunities or situations.

Thoughts are what move the body.

Thoughts are what make you confused. When you feel confused it’s because you are feeling fear. You should go then and get to know that fear. Fear and confusion come to test us, they come to verify our determination. We will always find obstacles on our path, but they are there to teach us something. Everything serves to bring us, in a mysterious but perfect way to the place we have to reach.

ONLY THE IGNORANT AND MEDIOCRE ARE IN POLITICS

The sun is also setting on modern democracy. It doesn’t work for the common good. It only pronounces it with words. In reality it exists for individual, particular and selfish objectives. Now, the winning strength of a political group is technology, which it uses to fulfill its own objectives. I should also say that only ignorant and mediocre people are in politics today and they win because they are ready to do anything.

They do not have ideals, high values.
