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…

On the occasion of my trip throughout April in Thailand and especially Laos, I decided to make a podcast like I have not tried again. Whenever I find the time and I will be recording a travelogue of my experiences and impressions from magical Southeast Asia. This episode is just a preview of what is expected so stay tuned because many interesting t…

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 t…

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 pot…

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 on…

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 …

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, …

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,…

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, identific…

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.As a Token of Appreciation, you can download for F…

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 …

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…

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 th…

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…

I am wondering what most people consider as being informed if not to learn like parrots just the information provided by the big news agencies? Especially with today's technology people being connected to the internet for the most part of the day, it's easier to learn the news by heart.How can one think he has a real perception of reality when his …

What does it mean to pursue happiness? First of all, indeed, it doesn't make sense to not look for beautiful feelings. But the fact that we are chasing something doesn't also show something about our attitude towards our present situation? Isn't it sometimes causing us to deny the present moment and be looking at a vague future?I believe life can b…

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.So I think it…

In this article, I find that either because of financial crisis or other reasons many young people are confined to environments with older people who, while supposed to be there to help them, they actually drag them down. It is often difficult to get away from that as these people have been there since the time they first remember themselves and th…

What if we take a look at the fast-growing country for more than 15 years (> 6%), Vietnam with the amazing weather for the most part of the year, the wonderful landscapes, the marvelous food and the friendly people? Last January I traveled in Vietnam for almost a month from the south to the north and I became impressed by its infrastructure. In Pod…

In this podcast I am doing a decompilation of this particular Greek myth. How can it compare to the way we face life in relation to our needs and aspirations? What role do the latter play in our relationship with the mystery of life and how do we act on them?How real is ultimately what we perceive as future, and don't we sometimes overdo it and do …

I am wondering what is considered normal by most if not what the majority considers normal? At the same time do we personally believe that what most people say is always right?Would we not, therefore, need to think that perhaps we have to make a conscious choice between whether we want to agree with most or whether it leaves us unaffected to be con…

I think my generation has been nurtured in linear logic and in great loyalty only on something that proves to be demonstrable. Through my own experience, I have seen how restrictive this is for our horizons, for our quality of life and understanding. At the same time, because I think most of the information we receive is controlled, I can see that …

Almost every Greek, till at least my generation, has been brought up with the archetype of the resourceful Ulysses. He was the one came up with the smart idea of the Trojan Horse that gave the Greeks the opportunity to enter the caste of Troy. He, also, managed after 10 years to return from Troy to Ithaca after roaming in several kinds of places, u…

I roam around many places in Europe and talk to people but everywhere I hear similar ideas that are very close to what I read in the big news agencies. And I find that very often people because they get used to some ideas take them for granted without questioning if they actually describe reality. Politics could not be outside of it because the pro…

Meditation is a well-known practice, while basic methods are really very simple. Many times, however, people do not dedicate themselves in the long run, as they would like, or they feel they are not getting the benefits they expected.Through my own experiences in the few years of my practice, I have understood that meditation needs to be approached…

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 b…

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 i…

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 th…

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 hone…

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.…

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 satisfyi…

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. Th…

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 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. She contains the highest mystery, but we do not admire it.Rich in teachings, but we ignore them. Does the most contact with her change us and our culture through us?In today's podcast I am talking abou…

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 …
