In the end ... i became a collections of ideas, but i did not understood that after so much time of exploring all those concepts about the life itself, it was the time to start to listen to ... myself also.
I knew i had to do it.
I knew how to do it.
I also knew it was already too late.
But i was doing nothing ... acting just as my friend the painter ... that painter that never paints.

To make us understand the illusion

I had been reading a beautiful book about Madeleine Albright, telling her life as a private person, but also the one as a person involved in politics.
Reading the book, even if i was not seeing anywhere the concept of energy, or energy field ... i somehow understood in her writings ... how the mix of energies work.
I saw in fact, the message behind the scene of life and how we, as human beings, are influencing reality with out silly thoughts and decisions.
About 50 years ago, she was involved in the presidential campaign of senator Muskie, which was actually the main competitor of president Nixon.
Donald Segretti, a great lawyer of those times, but a guy that could be defined as the one responsible of the dirty games behind Nixon’s campaign ... played a little bit with the mind of the brilliant Madeleine.
At an important dinner party, Segretti created fake invitations for the african embassies, telling the leaders from there that senator Muskie will send them a paid limo to bring them to the Hilton Hotel, where the party was ... send few

She could not believe it.
It was all a joke ... but a very ugly one.
2 years later, In the Watergate commission that was investigating president Nixon, Segretti admited that the only thing he could not do in that day was to sent some elephants to that ball room.
Madeline thought for a second that she is losing her mind ...
not understanding the dirty joke done by the brilliant lawyer.
2 years later, hearing all what really happened in that day ...
mrs Albright understood the power of the illusion that we cannot actually understand in the moment it happens.
But you see ... my dear readers ... same as Segretti existed in Madeline Albrigt’s life ... in the same way ... we have similar people in our lives.
They play around with our minds, and maybe they are just used by the Universe, as us to understand what is the game of illusion ... and why is so damm important to actually master our own minds.
A brilliant person as Madeline Albright ... was fooled like a kid, in a presidential campaign in one of the most important countries in the world ... by a smarter guy ... that we could define as a modern Machiavelli.

Not what hurt you is important, but which part of you was hurt
Truth be told we see hurt people everywhere.
You meet with an old friend, you just ask “How are you?!” ... and in the next minutes you will understand all the problems that person has.
And it’s funny seeing them blaming all the exterior factors from their lives.
They will tell you all kind of stories, about all the people from their past, but also from the present moment ... that actually could be accused of a real conspiracy against them .... but
they will never tell you anything about their contribution to the story.
In a second you start to understand that all you hear is just one part of the story.
The second part ... or should i say the real one ... is the one that reveals something else ... something totally different. You realize that not what thing or person hurt ... is important, but which part of that person is hurt.
Is it about love, money, sex, simple relationships with different persons .... is it about what?! Which is that part that was hurt?!
Why was it hurt?!

Well ... it’s a sensitive side, but we just don’t want to admit it
... the fact that ... being humans ... we also have weaknesses.
And instead of fixing that parts, we just ignore or hide them ... until one day when someone is again hurting us ...
and in fact is doing nothing than revealing the sensitive parts.
We know what we need to do, but we treat the subject with a huge ignorance, believing that the time will fix everything ... but guess what?!
The episodes will be repeated on and on and on ... until the day we will understand that we need to talk with the inner self and solve the problem not with the persons that hurt us, but with that part of us that was hurt.

We are the projection of our thoughts
... so we should analyze, define and then just redefine all our ugly thoughts
When we define the theory ... there are lots of people that understand all those theoretical concepts.
When we talk about real life ... you see lots of people analyzing and defining other people, but when it comes about them ... their minds just stop.
They know what to do, how to do it ... but in fact ... they don’t do anything.
Or if they do something ... it’s all on theoretical level.
Yes ... the story is simple.
To understand our lives, we somehow need to realize that we are the projections of our thoughts ... so for the right ones ...
we should analyze, define and then just redefine all of them. But when i say redefine ... i mean also redefine the acting on the scene of life.
Is that simple to be done?!
Is that complicated?!
Well ... it all depends if we realize that the meaning of many theoretical ideas should be to be implemented into practice ... and practice means ... real life.

To give you an example and also make you laugh ... one day i was really unhappy because of a business that was not running well.
I was chatting with a friend ... and i was telling him how mad i am because of those problems ... and he was telling me how happy he was because of all the ladies from his life. In a second of awakening ... i understood what focus
means ... and realized that i am focusing my attention on the problems from my life and my friend, even if he was a businessman also, was ignoring all his business problem and enjoyed life as a playboy.
It was not a path for me ... of course ... but changing our thoughts is not easy if we don’t know how to focus our attention on other things.
But in the end ... i see the trick as following.
You realize that the concept that you are the projection of your thoughts ... is real.
You start to analyze your life.
Then you define it.
And ... after a long meditation you re define everything ... by focusing first your mind in a totally different direction ... one where you usually see the joy of life and enjoying the present moment.
So ... it’s quite simple ... and i know you know it, but maybe is time to understand that life is not just philosophy ... but can also be a collection of multiple beautiful moments.

When reality is not what we want .... what we actually do ...
is start to complain.
And the funny thing is that we are never complaining by ourselves.
Everything ... and everybody ... around is responsible by what is going on, but not us. Never.
The outside world is controlled ... just by the exterior factors .... and never think that actually the outside world is just a reflection of the inner world.
... but reality ... still sucks.
That is a real fact.
Day by day the same story.
We try to make some changes ... and we even start praying, but still ... everything remains at the same mediocre level. And one day ... we just say ... “I had enough! I can’t stand it anymore! I want a better life ... a beautiful one ... am i

asking too much?!”
But no one is listening to our requests.
In fact ... no one can really listen to us, cause we are not connected to anyone ... not even to the Universe. And i wonder myself, what should that mean?!
Well ... today i believe that to be connected to the Supreme Universe ... we actually need to connect to everything ... to the nature and everything nature means, to all the people from our lives ... including friends, relatives but also enemies and the people that we don’t like or they don’t like us ... etc etc.
It’s almost weird all what i am saying ... but to change reality we need to be on another spiritual level and that actually means ... to learn the art of connecting in a friendly way to everything exists in this Universe.
So ... bottomline ... reality can become however we define it ... even a beautiful one ... but depends if we actually know how to connect to the outside world, using the power of the inside world ... the spiritual side of us.
Probably ... we should meditate more of what that means. In the end ... we will just agree of disagree with Albert Einstein that said that ... it’s all what we believe ... we live in a friendly or a hostile Universe ... nothing more ... nothing less.
But don’t worry ... cause at the right time ... we will jump at the proper spiritual level and will know to connect to absolutely everything appears on the timeline of our lives.

“We fucked the connection itself ... and there is nothing more to be done than ... remembering the beautiful moments”
I just met her few days ago ... but she was alone this time ...
and i was really curious what was going on, because they were together everywhere ... every time.
And i stop her, in the middle of the street, even if i usually don’t do that.
I smile, i look at her and just ask ... “What happened to the 2 of you?!”.
She was sad ... but replies ... “We fucked the connection itself ...”
In fact she was so sad, that i did not dared to ask anything else ... and i left.
They were the most beautiful couple i ever saw ... and the connection between them was amazing.
While together ... they were just shining ... but today she was not that beautiful diamond anymore.
She probably lost the connection itself ... because they ...
fucked it ... and i am sure he was in the same silly situation.
But why should a beautiful couple as the 2 of them ...
destroy such a beautiful love story?!

I close my eyes ... i see them ... and can’t believe it ... cause it all was almost a hollywoodian story.
And i was asking myself for days ... what was going on, even if i usually don’t even care of those things. But their story was too beautiful ...
Well ... most probably they just got lost.
Together they were yin and yang ... and everything looked perfect ... but only till the day when they started to ask themselves ... what if the whole story is just an illusion, what if all those magic moments were just their imagination, what if it is not what it looks like?!
You see ... i loved them as a couple, because i believed in them ... and i saw the magic ... while admiring their story. But the questions ... especially the ones regarding the existence of the ... magic ... fucked everything.
Magic must be just enjoyed and never question anything about it.
It is offered as a divine present ... and the only thing is asked ... is just to believe in it. Nothing more!
My friends ... that amazing couple ... 2 ordinary persons that had together a hollywoodian love story ... stoped believing. ... and the magic was gone!
Yes ... even the magic has a logic ... but you need to understand what is it about ... understand the whole story. Or ... more dramatic ... you understand it ... but you just ignore all what you feel ... forgetting that believing is the key.

Sometimes connecting to people means to connect on their energies
I love to socialize with people.
Don’t find it a non sense at all ... and I’ve been very happy to read one day that socializing with other people helps us to live longer.
But i am not socializing for that reason.
I just do it ... because i like it.
Many people today love animals ... but i love the people ... i really love the people and it’s always a pleasure to spend time with them.
But there is something that i ignored for years, even if i knew it ... and that is the fact that spending time with others ... we actually exchange energy while doing it.
And the energy itself ... can be good ... i mean positive ...
but also a bad one.
Spend your time, as an experiment with negative people ... and you will see how your life changes into a negative way. And the theory is available also for the positive vibes ... same as is true for the negative ones.
