For the past 50 years we have lived in a socio-cultural system where personal skills and abilities are no longer important. The most important thing is the way in which you sell yourself on the market to the most people possible. Success depends on the exterior image, on a nice attractive presence, on a young and continuously redone body, on aggression and ambition, on belonging to influential groups and clubs, on knowing the right and powerful people. In a word, today you...
Read MorePSYCHO-SPIRITUAL AWARENESS
What I mean by psycho-spiritual awareness begins with repentance. Repentance is more than simple displeasure; it is really and truly a disgust for things we have done or emotions felt.

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.

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...
