My youngest son got scared.
My wife also.
I was working in sales for years and i had the chance ... or should i say the opportunity?! ... to meet lots of crazy persons ... so i was keeping my calm.
But i also remembered what Seneca used to say that only the fact that you own wild animals is dangerous even if you keep them in a cage, cause they could kill you when you try to feed them.
And it is the same with those crazy persons ... they just become wild ... not being responsible for what they do.
I tried to find out why he was so mad ... and it looked like he had a conflict with a lady that rented a house from me ... but also 2 weeks ago another neighbor made a complain at the city hall cause he owns too many bigs etc etc.
He was keep repeating ... “i lost my mind! I lost my mind”
He was coming to me ... to help him ... and i realized that he became calm only when i’ve asked ... “Please tell me what i could do to help you!”
He was desperate ... but because he lost control on himself ... and hearing that i will help ... made him see things in a totally different perspective.
He left ... after 5 minutes ... only when i was becoming calm and spoke with him with love.
It was a total non sense what happened ... but i was wondering what was the message behind the message.
In a second i understood i lost my mind many, many times ... and probably i found the help only inside of me ... cause no one really calmed me at that time.
I was not different than that person that came to my house.
Truth be told ... we live in a crazy world ... but we also have moments of craziness ... and we totally forget that.
Losing your mind ... means to lose control over yourself ... and not being responsible anymore about what you do.

The torture ... an abstract
way of helping you
Been to the dentist.
She was torturing me this time.
Usually does not hurt, but this time was hurting a lot.
But ... all it was for a good reason ... to help me have a good dental health and cure all my teeth.
So ... the torture was for a good purpose.
While staying on the chair, having all those terrible pains ... i was thinking at all the people tortured by the nazism and the communism. I read lots of books about the subject, but i only found our what happened and not why happened.
Why those people from that time had the misfortune to have such a life?!
The first world war ... then the second world war ... then in many parts of the world the communism continued the torture. Did those people deserved to have such a life?!
Why did the Universe allowed as this to happen?!
It makes no sense at all ... but i can’t find any explanation.
Was it a message behind the message?!
What was the spiritual meaning of all of that?!
But ... maybe the torture had a purpose ... to purify them as spirits. I had been studying the lives of the ones that spent 10 to 20 years in the communist prisons.
Should make no sense to write about how terrible it was for them. Probably a scene of torture in those prisons was like an eternity …

and the ones that survived ... keeping their moral high all the time, should be called ... saints.
So ... the meaning of those times could be defined as ... a way in how they purified so, so many souls?!
Should that be the message behind the message?!
Maybe is too much to define the whole picture in such a way ... but the truth is that i would define for example a guy as Nelson Mandela as a saint ... after 27 years of prison.
So ... the torture ... might be an abstract way of purifying the human souls ... but maybe we can find others ways of doing it.
Meanwhile i continue going to my dentist, letting her to torture me from time to time ... cause i just did not found any other ways of curing my teeth.
So ... at least from this point of view ... i accept the torture as a positive thing in my life.

Connecting to people ... the art of speaking in 100 languages
Knowing a foreign language is excellent. But how many languages can we learn?!
I am sure that the human being is able to speak 10-12-15 languages if there is a big interest for that.
But is that the secret for connecting to anybody from anywhere in the world?!
An ambasador ... when he goes in a new country ... he tries to learn the language, but also tries to understand how people from that country think, what are their rituals, what is important for them in life etc etc.
He tries to understand the human beings from that part of the world ... with everything defines them.
And pays attention to all the details ... but also respect all those details.
The ambasador knows the art of connecting to people ... which is in fact the art of speaking in 100 languages.
One of the main reasons of unhappiness is generated by the fact we don’t have good relationships with other people ... and this is happening only because we never thought of learning the art of dealing with other human beings.
No one told us that is so damm important.
The final results?!

BEHIND THE ABSTRACT
... there is always a message
Lots of conflicts at home, at work, with the neighbors ... and even on the streets.
We have no idea that there is a science called ... management of conflicts.
And we fail so, so many times.
But should we act as a great ambasador?
I saw so many politicians ... that were in fact just idiots, but somehow
... someone learnt them the art of connecting to other people. Usually they do it in an artificial way ... wanting to get just a short term result ... but our main target should be to have great relationships with anyone ... anytime. So ... what should we do?!
Why we just don’t have great relationships?!
What we do wrong?!
Well ... we just don’t know to open the heart ... and connect to those people from our lives.
The art of speaking different languages is not enough ... even if you will speak 100 languages ... but connecting to the soul of everyone we interact with ... is the real trick.
Not in an artificial way as an ambasador or any other politician, but as a human being that loves the other human beings.
I saw people that loves animals a lot ... but what if we are brave enough and decide to love the other human beings?!
Maybe there is a message behind the message at the fact that we fail in so many interactions with the others. ... just think about!

The solitude ... a way of staying only in your own energy field
If i would be 20 today, i would try to hire myself at McDonalds .. cause i know i would interact with thousands of people ... and learn the art of connecting to the others ... without reading any books at all.
Probably today ... if someone would speak unplolite to me ... i would not even care.
Or ... i would smile ... and say ... “Say it one more time ... please! I just want to laugh loud and be happy ... cause i am not anymore mixed with my Ego.”
But truth be told ... we decide to chose solitude, because we had enough of living in a crazy world ... and be aware at the fact that the others ... the ones we daily meet .. could hurt us.
But i wonder if there is no misunderstanding between the fact that there is not the soul that is being hurt ... but the Ego.
Living in solitude ... is great ... but probably is not my path for this life.
My life lesson is ... understanding the human interaction ... not the human being... but the way ... we interact as humans. But i missed the chance of ... hiring at McDonalds.
I had other paths to followed, meeting all kinds of people from simple ones to important people.
Had i understood anything from that?!
Well ... the Universe still gives me tests from time to time ... and i

failed to many of them ... so, so often.
But i continue the journey ... cause i know the lessons will be repeated on and on and on.
The meaning of my life ... i think i understood it ... but still can’t act properly on the stage.
I saw the message behind the message ... i know the theory ... but in reality ... i always forget that the illusions i see ... those that look so real ... are only tests and lessons.
My life continues ... and nobody understands, not even myself ... why i am so slowly ... in this process of soul evolution.
I refuse the solitude ... cause i still want to play around a little bit ... but not being able to implement everything i learnt ... i live in an energy field which is not mine ... and that delays myself to become ... ME ... the one i need to be.

Love living in a small world?! .... or a big one?!
Or maybe ... just in your own world?! ... which is actually just a way of daily enjoying the quote ... “My life! My rules!”
There is a nice saying, defining the way we should live life, like ... “a big fish in a small pond, or a small fish in a big pond”.
This actually means that you could look like an important person in a small environment ... like a village, or a small company, a small school etc... or maybe be someone great ... but living in a big place ... New York for example ... and still not look like someone important.
Comparing ourselves with the others is just ... silly ... even if it is in a positive or a negative way ... but there still is a greater path to follow. What if we decide to live a life in our own environment ... staying just you ... with you?!
Should that be a wise decision?!
I mean to live a life ... with the slogan ... “My life! My rules!” ... and do whatever you want to do ... not caring by the outside world.
We know the fact that the world is not splitted into a small and a big world ... like we see a small village and a big city ... but on the inner and the outer world.
So the decision itself ... is to choose if you want to spend your life just as the soul tells you do ... or let the others define the path you will follow.
I lived in a small town, so i know what the “small pond” means ... and

that anything you would do ... will be noticed by all the others.
I also lived in the capital, for more than half of my life ... so i know what “small fish in a big pond” means ... but today i live in a village. Small town ... the capital of my country ... and now a village. But you know what i started to do?!
Ignore the outside world.
I am not watching tv, not reading the news ... i am just exploring life philosophical paths of life ... hoping i will find in my inner world the answers i looked for tens of years in the outside world.
My message is a simple one ... even if i did not found the supreme truth and probably will not find it during this life time.
Pay attention to your soul ... the one that is whispering you so, so many things.
But probably ... same as me ... even if there is a message behind the message, in all we see in life ... you don’t have ears to hear and eyes to see.
The awaking looks like the horizon line ... we see it ...and we even have the illusion that we can touch it.

Don’t be afraid of anything when it comes about change.
The moment you totally redefine yourself
... everything around is redefined.
You see .... when you try to change ... you usually find a plan right
away.
You define it in very small details, but the biggest resistance comes ...
from the outside world.
They are not used to see you in the new way ... and they will not accept you, unless you send the right message to them. But should we bother to do that?!
Well ... the easiest way is just change the environment where you live, find new people to interact with ... people that don’t know how you used to be ... and will see your new way of being ... just as you. No questions.
No defining ... explaining that change will not last forever etc etc.
We are used to be defined and we actually let the others define us ...
paying too much attention at what they have to say.
And this is when the process of change is being sabotaged.
We want the change, we start to implement it, we really believe it is a good path to follow ... and then we stop. We are not stoped ... we stop.
The others do the game of defining ... just as they daily wash their teeth ... but should we give them so much attention?
Well ... we miss so many things in life ... only because we can’t stop

thinking what other people think ... of us.
We can’t see the message the Universe sends us.
The inspiration comes ... with the idea of how we can chose the new path of change.
Everything ... conspires ... so that the change should happen. But ... the Universe gives you a small test ... through the people around you ... that speak lots of things about what you are trying to do.
And instead of seeing is just a test ... you take it for real ... and can’t
see the message behind the message ... and that is ... if you really
want a big change in your life ... you should only care about what
your soul is whispering you.
Nothing more!
Believe in yourself ... and everything from the outside world will be redefined if the inner world had been redefined for ... real.

A simple plan for your life
... just enjoy it!
Years ago ... i started to built and loved it.
Then i continued with a new house ... and a new one ... and then i said one day ... let’s try with 15 houses.
Meanwhile i decided as those houses to become a complex with few places for recreation ... and also a bar and a swimming pool.
