Continue reading →: ObjectsIf happiness has not arrived despite the efforts made to convince us that it depends largely on the possession of material objects, I’m sure no one feels that way. In other words, we all get offended if someone tells us we are “materialists.” But if material things are destroyed by…

Continue reading →: Self CensorshipWhen I first heard the concept of self-censorship, I was deeply struck by the fact that I had never heard it from anyone before. The first time was through Silo in 2006, and the context was a conversation about how the Message expands in an attack against censorship and self-censorship,…

Continue reading →: Working InternallyThe idea of “working internally” is not a new one. In different forms and in different times it’s been somehow constantly present in our world. The starting point is to work with what we have and this is probably a new proposal. It is commonly accepted in societies that we…

Continue reading →: Talking about experiencesWho really wants to listen to someone else experience? Practically no one. In general we can’t wait to talk about our own experience and hardly listen to what the other is saying. And we finished talking and the other person is not even listening, in the same way we don’t…

Continue reading →: ReconciliationThe theme of violence and vengeance is a fairly heavy one, but at the same time it creates the space for me to ask myself, “How do I get out of this mess?” No matter how much I’d like to offer the other cheek, I am not completely convinced of…

Continue reading →: TrustWhen the institutions that are a society’s pillars are not perceived as such, that is the beginning of that society’s disintegration. Science is no longer credible, education is doubtful, religion is uninspiring, justice is no longer blind, politicians no longer represent any truth. Trust is a key ingredient in a…

Continue reading →: The guilty onesGuilt is a topic that has always caught my attention. Probably because it has been part of my life since my childhood. Born in a Catholic society and educated in a Catholic school, I had no choice but to learn to feel guilty starting in “tender infancy,” as they used…

Continue reading →: About artI am interested in art. Yes. I’m interested in art, but from a perspective or point of view that can be summarized as follows: “Art as a means of human expression and social development.” I’m not interested in defining “Art.” I am certainly not interested in anything remotely connected with “artistic…

Continue reading →: UnityWhen approached intellectually, the theme of unity – of /what is unitive – is vast, and it’s much easier to just experience it. But how can I experience an internal unity that sometimes seems so elusive? I can try to define certain aspects of unity that allow us to experience…

Continue reading →: Money is everythingIn 1998 I wrote a fairly autobiographical novel that was undoubtedly boring for almost the entire public, since my greatest interest at that time was not in writing, but in trying to better understand what had happened to me in my life. I think I managed that in a way,…
Hello,
This is my blog
Welcome to my website. All of my writings are inspired by the teachings of Silo and I have come to the conclusion that kindness, good treatment, softness and perseverance are the most suitable elements for internal growth. And this is something intentional, it is something that does not spring from the naturalness of the environment. It is something created, re-created and needs to be maintained by everyone and all those people who value the environment in which human relationships and all internal growth arise. Perhaps, it is the best effort we can make for ourselves and humanity.”
