People are surprising. I am often surprised that they do not understand many of the basic principles of their own existence. First, people do not realize or they forget that absolutely everything they have in this life, in material terms, is rented. And that’s primarily because their own existence is absolutely limited in time. And when they leave this world, they can not take anything with them. When they have a certain influence or power in society, they do not realize how less important it is in relation to the real dimmension of life, nor that very soon they will lose that influence or power. They come to consider themselves gods, in reality being nothing but ants. When they have that power, people lose their minds, and when they do not have it anymore they fall completely destroyed, shocked to find how small they actually are.

People are unduly greedy, related to how much they need, in material terms, for themselves and for their families and for all their close ones. Almost all the time they miscalculate and they do not size correctly their material needs. And especially to the their limited life in time. They are blinded in their rush after material things. They do not realize how unimportant they are and mostly they do not realize they can pass away at all tides. Very few understand that, in this regard, they should either leave something important behind them – from a material perspective – or to evolve as much as they can and to and raise their spiritual level – of course, from a spiritual perspective.

In their vast majority, people are living in a tight material circle, without seeing almost anything beyond it. And they do not even look outside, because they do not even suspect that there would be something out there …

People do not have enough time to understand the meaning of life. Very few, those a bit more intelligent or enlightened come to perceive correctly the principles of life from an early age. The others understand these things too late, after they made many mistakes and have severely damaged a lot around them, oftentimes their own life or even their own soul. And the most never understand.
But even without something irreversible happening to them, by understanding it too late they have so little time to evolve … And they do not get to do it, they are already too old and they die. And spiritual evolution does not occur.
People do not realize that their whole existence may become important to them or to the others only if a determinant spiritual evoluation occurs.

Just some after-midnight thoughts… ;)

Today it has occurred to me that any activity, ideal or dream is based on love. The most beautiful and the best things for us in this life come from love. Anything we wish to accomplish, all our dreams, hopes, ideals or experiences have something to do with love. The most beautiful human feelings derive from the love for the beautiful, the spirit, they come from the love we have in us and which we want to share with another person, our family, our friends or our children. There are so many things that we do in life just because we want to have access to the person or the type of person who can give us love and to whom we can give love. Because we need love and thus we can approach the dream of living perfect moments with the person that gives us love. We want to arrive up there in order to gain the respect and love of that person or that type of person. Moreover, we want to achieve social and material things, having instinctively the final purpose of being able to build a family and have children, because we have love to give. We have love to give to those who are close to us, we have love to give to a single person that complements us and we have love to give to the children we’ll have. We also need divine love. …Everything, absolutely everything, has to do with love.
Christmas is that time of the year when we become aware of this love and everything we can achieve having this extremely powerful feeling. Besides social, ambient and soul tranquility, I feel that during these Christmas days, people become aware of love. I believe that, in fact, this is Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas!!!

Kant realized that what man perceives is not reality. It is only a conceptualized form of reality, given by man’s senses, by the way he perceives it through his neuronal apparatus, for reality is only an image, a chimera, a fiction that comes from our mind full of different concepts. Moreover, a man cannot understand beyond the processed version given by his own brain, for there is no way of “seeing” what is really there, before this perceptive and intellectual processing.
Schopenhauer approves him but he also makes some additions, by realizing that we can perceive that entity in its reality – that absolute reality – through our own bodies, due to the extremely rich knowledge we have, which is perceived from the inside and comes from feelings!
He also postulates that that knowledge cannot be conceptualized or explained, but it can be conveyed directly, without words, by means of arts.
And probably especially by means of music.

There are few qualities I admire in people. And they all come from the divine drop in each of them. The first and the most valuable one is kindness. It comes genetically, inwardly, mentally, spiritually. A good man is not a man who does good deeds, but the man who cannot do evil. Such a man wins you over forever. A second quality is love. Not selfish or interested love, but true love, that sort of sublime love. It’s so rare, that it has become almost a myth, something extremely hard to find. It comes directly from the soul, from true humanity. A man who has true love for his neighbor is hard to replace. The third one is dignity. It comes directly from the spirit. A really dignified man is an example for all men. A dignified man will be respected in life and after his death. It’s true that nowadays it’s hard to preserve these qualities. But this is what makes them all the more valuable. I believe that these are the main qualities of a true MAN. Even if there are also other important qualities I value – intelligence, spirituality etc, I believe that only if you have at least one of these 3 sublime qualities you may consider yourself happy with your life.

I will post something that probably has nothing to do with Facebook. But I think it’s something that it’s worth posting. I have the conviction that the utmost purpose of human existence is getting close to divinity. The divinity man comes from, in fact. All religions and existential theories show that in the course of life, men try by instinct in different ways to get close and even merge with divinity. In order to achieve this, men need real spiritual evolution. It’s not simple at all, it is extremely complicated. It’s important to achieve an accurate understanding of life and then knowledge, meditation, initiation, revelation, culminating in merger. This really complicated way is only available to evolved people. Or more exactly to those people who become evolved. My personal belief is that for ordinary people, the easiest and the most available way of approaching divinity is to attain that sublime divine state through the feeling of complete love. Yes, I believe that men feel they can attain the sublime through this feeling towards a person next to them, a fact which occurs purely by instinct. This is the reason why any man believes this to be the most powerful and important human feeling, the one that allows ordinary men to reach divinity at least once in their lives. This is the utmost reason for dreaming, despairing and, in case of failure, giving up life…

Today I thought about the energy of life. That sacred energy we were born with and which we felt deeply when we were children…That unspeakable joy we felt without any reason at the time, the simple joy of living. The source of the same joy we had when we were teenagers and we fought to prove that we were the best, when nobody understood our aspirations and dreams. Which takes your breath away… Which makes you dream about your career, your success and your future. Which makes you want to discover, understand, explore everything, anything, now. Which gives you the strength to think about your family and children. Which gives you the strength to fight against society and everybody around you in order to arrive where you want to. That energy of life that makes you not care anymore about the danger of death when you find something meaningful or worth fighting for. The same energy that makes you overcome any blow or trouble. That energy that makes some people realize that there is more to life than meets the eye. ..The energy that opens the valves of your soul, that makes you aware of the profoundness of love and the beauty of the true values. The one which helps you to philosophize, to think far more deeply, even if you live here, on the surface. The energy that makes you live truly, under any circumstances and at any moment, which gives color to life, which gives you hope and even the certainty that nothing ever really dies. ..It is the divine drop that we have in us, it is the true divine gift of life.

Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone makes an ideal out of it. But the fact is that sadness and suffering open the “valves” of the soul. People get close to profound things and even God in deep sorrow and suffering. When they are happy, people are too busy to feel the happiness and they forget about everything else. And then, abstractly, a question arises. Which is best for your soul – sorrow and suffering or happiness? A thought…

In fact, everything is very simple. Everyone desires to grow, conscientiously or instinctually. They want to assert themselves in society, to acknowledge and overcome their own limitations and frustrations, to vanquish their own demons. Some people express it socially, by their desire to achieve power. These are the majority. Other people seek deep love, which makes them feel they are escaping the limits of the material life we all lead. Yes, one can escape through love. But it is hard to find it and it is especially hard to preserve it in the society we live in. There are also many people like these ones, but they act on their instincts. Nowadays, there are few people who grow by clearing up the truths of life, by study, meditation and revelation. These people are truly few. But there are even fewer people who succeed in giving up materialism completely by knowledge, complete and accurate awareness of life, and then by connecting themselves to the universal conscience and divinity. These are the most evolved people, they are the enlightened ones. It’s my own opinion.
