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.

In the 6th episode of the podcast series about my trip to Thailand and mostly Laos for all of April is described my last day in the astonishingly beautiful Luang Prabang where at the same day I visited the impressive Pak Ou caves with many Buddha statues and the magnificent Kuang Si waterfalls, a place of outstanding natural beauty where I also swam in its crystal clear turquoise waters. The latter is definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The next day I left for Vang Vieng, a town built in Nam Song river in a flat surface but surrounded by a lot of amazing limestone cliffs. It has so many natural wonders very close that offer plenty of opportunities for exploration. Hundreds of caves, cliffs, blue Lagoons with splendid waters all of them very approachable, a fact that made me think that maybe this is the most suitable town to what I like as a traveller from every one I visited in Laos. I am sure that even a year there wouldn't be enough for me to visit all these tremendously beautiful places. However, I spent there 2 and a half days before going to Vientiane in order to catch a flight to Bangkok from where I will return back to London.

In the 5th episode of the podcast series about my trip to Thailand and mostly Laos for all of April is described my last day in the amazing Muang Ngoy that left me with fantastic impressions. I later left and went straight to the amazing Luang Prabang by taking a boat and then a bus. In this episode are described my first 3 days here. Almost 4 hours with a canoe in such a natural landscape in the Nam Ou river in Muang Ngoy was a very relaxing experience, it was me, the water and the steep mountains covered with adorable trees. Luang Prabang is an Unesco World Heritage site because it mixes outstandingly French Colonial architecture and traditional Lao one in a very well preserved environment that smells of old times. Not only it has too many temples compared to its size but they are all energetic, very well maintained and with many novices and monks. This city definitely preserves the traditions at many aspects. It is also where the huge Mekong and the Nam Kha rivers meet and they flow in its two sides. It's just magnificent to stroll around the town and feel its vibes. Also, one highlight is the sunset views from Mount Phousi that is in the centre of the town and its stupa on top can be seen from everywhere.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

But Ulysses was resourceful and was always figuring out a way in order to manage to reach his beloved Penelope back home in the end.

Through my own experiences in the few years of my practice, I have understood that meditation needs to be approached from the very beginning in a different way from what we are used to facing something new that we put into our lives.

A small diary about my 10 days of consuming nothing but water together with some relevant thoughts about it. Every new beginning, every change literally everything we do I firmly believe has to first and foremost start from the "Whys." These reasons not only need to be crystal clear and set in our minds even before the beginning but is demanded to be our individual reasons. Not to try to imitate someone, not to try to prove something and so on. Instead they must be based on what we really consider as right. In this podcast I talk about all the reasons that I entered into this challenge.

A diary about my 10 days of water fasting together with some relevant thoughts about it. This time I talk about the misunderstandings in nowadays' societies that we aren't able to survive without frequent meals. We don't seem to consider at all what is the role of the storage of fats in our bodies. As well the addictive effects that several toxins induced in foods create together with certain carbohydrates. Same like a smoker, craving a substance doesn't necessarily mean that we cannot live without it. As well, obviously when we are used to a certain lifestyle for years and years it's difficult to see anything outside of it and even if we try it's natural to face difficulties in the beginning.

How do we usually learn if not through information from authorities? I wonder, do we really get real knowledge then? In whatever you learn, have you ever included your individual approach? Do you remember how you used to learn when you were a child? I mention here many of the thoughts I have gathered trough the years together with an example that I think can make the concept more easily understood.

As you travel especially to countries of a different culture from the West, experiences will inevitably be unique. At the same time, the personal experience differentiates so much the image we have probably acquired from the media. What can we be taught by people of such a different but less comfortable world? How interesting is it when you can honestly connect with them? Personally, every time I visit such a special country I leave with full gratitude and the little story I am describing is one of the reasons.

When the time for something critical to us approaches, in example an interview, or a test, and so on, we are usually quite anxious. At the same time, we seem to think deeply that the more we think about it, the more likely we are going to go well. But we often neglect to take into account that it is most important to have a clear mind at that time. So how could we differentiate our approach by making our lives easier as well us more efficient and authentic?

Making your Own Choices

How do we make decisions about us? It usually appears that we are too much affected us by the impression that we may leave to others even if we do not recognize it or want to admit it. Many times we even reach a point where we are fully dependent on what is "considered" to be good. Personally, I doubt that this way we can reach a relatively satisfying life. Should not we also have to take into account facts about our own course? How could we then approach each of our decisions so that we come closer to our authenticity? As it is not possible for our acquaintances or the media to always know better than us what is best for us.

Normally we have been used to consider as reality what our senses recognise or other instruments that are made obviously by the human senses. But can this for sure provide us enough information in order to understand and explain reality? I think we should reconsider that as even science has proved the limitations that arise from that perspective. Thus this is a crucial issue for me and I couldn't miss talking about how the 3dimensional world is simply an illusion.

Everything flows and only our senses perceive stagnation. This seems to drift and distort our reality. How much we ignore it and what incredible effects this has in countless aspects? How different can our relationship be with life when we begin to observe the flow everywhere around us? How much more harmonious can our coexistence with others be when we start and apply a deeper understanding of this principle?

We are part of her, and yet we say she belong to us. She's generous, but we've made everything measurable. She could be next to us but we were gone.

A Contemplation on How to Believe

I was wondering, under what circumstances do we believe anything? It comes from our experience or because someone who is considered to be an authority told us? Can a school of thought help you and under what circumstances? If you learn everything they teach would it be adequate to you? I have followed many schools of thought and all these circles I had been doing ended up in realisations that shaped my life in a totally different level.
