Observe yourself.
Find out who you are!
The world is as you dream it.
It is a mirror.
Outside you find your world, what you built, you dreamed of.
Outside you find you!
Go and see who you are.
You'll discover that others are the reflected image of the lie you carry inside, of compromise, of your ignorance.
Change! … and the world will change.
Go out into the world and accept yourself.
Meet the poor, the violent, the lepers that you carry inside.
Accept them - don't avoid them, don't blame them, surrender to your world. Go and consciously accept what you have created: a rigid, ignorant, lifeless world.
Power is in possessing oneself and at the same time surrendering to oneself.
Dependence is always a personal choice, even if it is involuntary.
Nothing and no one can force you to depend; only you can.
Dependence is not the effect of a contract; it is not linked to a role nor does it arise from belonging to a social class.
Dependence is the consequence of lowering one's dignity.
It is the result of the pulping of being.
Dependence is the effect of a mind enslaved by imaginary fears, by one's own fear.
Addiction is a disease of being.
To depend on is to stop believing in oneself.
Dependence means to stop dreaming.
Who gives you the authority to speak to me in this way? - I blurted out defiantly.
You - answered the dreamer.
The world is at a standstill because there are men who depend, men who are scared to death. Humanity as it is cannot conceive of a society free from addiction.Only men trapped in fear and doubt can be poor and perpetuate addiction and misery in the world.
Poverty means not seeing one's limits.
Being poor means having given up your right of artifice in exchange for a job you don't love, which you haven't chosen.
You are the only obstacle to all you can desire.
The dream is the most real thing there is!
Our beings creates our life. Visibilia ex Invisibilibus
Everything we see and touch comes from the invisible.
Why shouldn't we choose life?
There is a place where thoughts, sensations, emotions, actions, and events are recorded forever, and even after years, we can find them as objects set aside in the attic, apparently inactive, helpless.
In reality they continue to act and condition our whole existence.
That's where we have to go back.
Forgive yourself inside.
Pen and paper means remembering, recovering, collecting parts of oneself scattered around the world. To conquer that special condition of being made up of freedom, knowledge, power, it takes years of work on oneself - one must forgive oneself inside.
Forgiving oneself inside is the true doing of a man of action, the result of a long process of attention, self-observation.
It means washing and healing the still open wounds, settling all the unfinished business.
Forgiveness inside has the power to transform the past with all its ballast.
Everything is here now!
Past and future are acting together right now in every man's life. A timeless time whose entrance door is this moment.
The secret is not to get distracted, never to stray from it.
Forgiveness inside is a return to oneself, it is the real reason why we were born. We should never interrupt this healing process.
Self – observation is self- correction.
