Life is strange

Life is a paradox. We enter this world with nothing, spend our days grasping for everything, and in the end, we must release it all and leave with nothing. Life is a fleeting passage, a cycle of gaining and letting go. Empty hands at the beginning, empty hands at the end, yet in between, we chase, we cling, we fight as if we could outrun time itself.

The first half of life is often a climb. We gather knowledge, possessions, relationships, titles, beauty, and wealth. We build identities to survive in the world. The second half, if wisdom arrives, is a descent: unraveling what no longer serves, shedding masks, loosening attachments, and surrendering to who we truly are. Life is not only about becoming, but also about unbecoming. Not only about filling, but also about emptying. Not only about holding, but also about letting go.

Most people never reach this turning point. They live biologically, meeting physical, mental, and emotional needs. There is no shame in this; it is the path of much of humanity. But survival is not the same as living. To stop here is to miss the vastness of who we are. Beyond survival lies possibility. Beyond habit lies freedom. Beyond mind lies infinity. To awaken is to shift from existing to truly living.

Love, kindness, and generosity are essential, they make us human. But awakening makes us whole. Acts of goodness make us better friends and neighbors, but they are not the summit. True growth begins when we dare to ask: Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is life truly about? The answers are not given, they are discovered, carved through silence, reflection, and courage.

Meditation is the key. It is not an escape, but a return. A doorway into the infinite dimension of our being. Step through, and you will discover that infinity is not outside you, it is what you are. In that realization, fear dissolves, and life finally reveals its true magnificence.

So, reflect deeply: will you cling to what fades, or will you dare to awaken? Will you spend your days merely surviving, or will you remember your true nature? For you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean itself, infinite and free.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
