Words of Wisdom

I have learned that yesterday is gone. Yesterday is already part of the past. Sometimes I even struggle to remember the events, how the hours and the day itself has passed, how I passed it, how I lived it, but I always remember or feel something that it left me, some good feeling, some bitter taste, something that happened inside of me that left me some kind of lesson or learning, the limits I had to trace to the impulses of my ego and the times I had to push myself to shift to another state of mind to transmute my energy and connect with my soul.

I see the change day by day, and this is evolution. Evolution has to do with change, and every change is accompanied by something new you learnt about yourself, about your interactions, about your ways, about your ego, about your pain, about your joy, about you, it is all about you.

Life is a personal journey and the people and environment around us are the ones playing their roles to unlock our inner potential to finally reach the light inside us, to find the truth, peace and love we all crave for. IKARIA, my intense Ikaria... the nature, silence and solitude of this place are the ones responsible for my transformation. It is the nature pushing me and holding me tight at the same time. It is LOVE and PAIN, both in union, deeply together showing me the truth of life. I don't get tired of preaching that we are a collection of our experiences, of all the people and places we visited, and all these are contained inside us... We are a complex puzzle that forms more than one image and depending on how we combine them, we can get different pictures. Along the time, some pieces move and they do not find a match no more, so we either get rid of them or we can try to repaint them and transform their image so as to keep this connection around, but this time with another face, another role, a new star in our inner galaxy.

Whenever I get out of this place and come back, I need at least one week to be in harmony with the place and my emotions. And suddenly, I start to feel the push of all I collected while I was away... and the heart starts to pump fast with memories and feelings I re-live so as to do the transformation process and express them out of my unconscious mind and bring them to consciousness, understanding their purpose and their value in my personal growth. Without judging anything or anyone, every event is meaningful and rich, every shot is a hole that I manage to close every time faster and this is a strong healing power that once you embodied it, it will be part of you forever. Imagine all the people living life in PEACE John Lennon says... I could dare to say that living a life in peace is the power of not hurting no more, and this goes together with your ego death. When the ego is tamed and your perception of reality changes, nothing can hurt you any more, because you acknowledge that you are living in a school. If you fail in some of your exams, you will have to retake them, and they will come back to you when you don't expect them. The same situations dressed up with another mask will come back to chase you and you will have the possibility of moving a piece of your puzzle. You will have no books to support you in the process, only your memories, and they are the ones that will give you the answers intuitively. This is why this is constant work, day by day, everyday, and it is deep and exhausting, but truly rewarding. The path of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is like a rose, beautiful and painful and full of Magic.
