"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe". Galileo Galilei

I don't believe in religion because religion was fabricated by men, but I do believe in the Divinity of the Universe. I was always struck by those philosophers such as Galileo or Pythagoras who affirmed that, at its deepest level, reality is mathematical. In other words, ours is a Universe that works according to a predictable order, and whose eternal rules never change. As the years of my life went by, I began to look at the reality that surrounds us in a different way. While at first glance human relationships and life's conflicts seem complicated and difficult to understand, I realized that beneath of it all dwells an almost mathematical simplicity. For example, I have often heard of people who after having displayed for years a disrespectful attitude towards their environment, suddenly face misfortune. Likewise, there are others who from the outside seem to have it all, but suffer from a deep emptiness that pervades their entire life. On the other hand, there are those of...

TRUTHS TO THINK ABOUT

I have collected these thoughts through years of reading spiritual books. I hope you too will take advantage of their transcendent depth. We are in this life to learn and to teach, to observe and find meaning. I am not my story; I am my choices. Our story was created by our parents. We recreate a story line until we have resolved it. If I resent someone, he/she becomes my main relationship. Too long in a negative resolution equals the distortion of reality. Moments are planned by the unconscious long before we step into them.

Attachment arises from the need to forge an identity through association. What the ego calls love is desire to po...

  The famous Delphic maxim, Know Thyself , spread by Socrates and later by Plato in his writings, is also found in earlier philosophers. In the same way, we also notice it in philosophers of the modern era, and in Freud's theories of the unconscious. Although its syntax seems easy to understand, if we try to explain what this aphorism means, many of us will find the task difficult. Knowing oneself in depth is not an easy journey, especially because we do not really know what it is that we must know better. Since we tend to hide all that we dislike about ourselves in our unconscious, we are also inclined to concentrate on what is easy to detect. However, if we live our life with our intimate eyes closed, our relationships with the rest of the world will not last long. Many years ago, when I was much younger and knew almost nothing about psychology, I fell in love with a guy who, in one of our first intimate conversations, confessed that his mother was a hateful human being. Althoug...
