  • What is it to be Mindful and in the Present Moment
    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?

  • The Meaning of Self-Awareness

    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.

  • The Importance of the Healthy Changes and the Way to Achieve them
    Others are constantly seeking change, others are portrayed as proud to remain the same. Others sometimes are identified with one idea and others with the opposite. So, to refine under what conditions we can say that a change is prudent and under which stability is synonymous with character integrity? What is it that makes a difference?
    In addition, what characteristics do you need to have in order to diagnose when a change is needed and what to understand when a change has to happen in a healthy way and to be maintained in the long run?

  • How to Simply Create the Reality You Desire
    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.

  • The Process of Maturity
    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!

  • Hiking Unforgettably all the Majestic Cinque Terre
    Previous August I experienced the magnificence of hiking the Cinque Terre and of visiting all 5 villages. It's a place of outstanding beauty; blue sea, colorful-picturesque houses built on the edge of the rocks, olive trees and vineyards. I felt, thus, the need to describe this experience in detail.

  • What Do We Mean by Metaphysical and How It Limits Our Perception
    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.

  • How the Change of Attitude Magically Leads to the Appearance of Solutions
    I know well what it's like to be attached to something, to give it all, to think about it all the time, to try with more and more passion, but the results to not be coming; on the contrary, to feel that life totally disappoints you and does not give you what you are entitled to . 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?

  • The Freedom of Being Released from Labels
    How much do the words we use and the labels in general limit us? We are accustomed to using them, and through them we are talking but often we neglect to take into account that the elements with which we have identified them do not necessarily describe the existing situation. Or when we describe ourselves, are we the same as anybody else bearing the same label or is there a reason not to do any action that seems unbalanced in relation to the label?

  • The Encirclement of Fear
    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. Because I think there are roads away from that which are even more realistic.
