It’s possible that psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have made us more sensitive but the world has not changed. Actually, it’s getting worse and worse. Or better, it wears the masks of its time but evil, injustice, violence, selfishness, mediocrity and hypocrisy are always the same. Better yet, probably psychology has contributed to making the world worse. In my opinion, humanity today needs a deep and intense, radical and original dimension of spiritual awareness,...
Read MoreFATHER AND MOTHER OF OURSELVES
The person who has become father and mother to himself does not fear solitude. Above all, he is not afraid of making decisions, going to the bottom of difficult choices, following the journey toward psycho-spiritual awareness. Instead the person who remains tied to unresolved problems with parental figures feels insecure. That person will not have the courage to make noble choices.

It is important to know how to manage positively the suffering from being hurt. The first thing to do is to forgive yourself. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t feel guilty. You must abandon the conviction that you caused the suffering. You must start to treat yourself with sweetness, like you would your best friend. Doing this you eliminate the interior carnage that was created inside of you and you transform it into your protector. You begin to reestablish the interior harmony...
Read MoreTHERE ARE NO MORE TRUE INTELLECTUALS
He who merely survives. fears defeat. He knows, deep down, that he is incapable and powerless on the psycho-spiritual level. For this reason he tries to seem sure of himself and skillful on a superficial level, to satisfy his or others’ needs. It is not a coincidence, in this society, that people who go on TV promising liberation from needs, problems and suffering are successful.
