Each language differs in structure, symbolism, interpretation, intention, sound, etc. It distinguishes one culture from another, and consequently influences the way we have been taught to process information.
As a simultaneously taught bilingual child, you can use different brain pathways to understand things. When studying foreign languages, so you can think in two more languages. Thus, [...]

Why are we in this economic mess?

What can we do to create a wiser and passion driven society? How can we think in ways our predecessors haven’t ever imagined? Well, simple or complex, we require the will to see beyond the taught.

How does fear cripple life?

After giving it a lot of thought, and trying to understand the way society has programmed us to behave…

What to do when depressed?

Depression is a complex situation because it integrates many aspects, for example: if I feel anger, it is because I feel powerless, thus frustrated that you cannot change “the thing that keeps you depressed”.

Who is wrong? The one who believes or not? None, why? Both are living according to their highest sense of humanity. I still don’t understand why we prefer to be blind, to fight, to be intolerant, and abusive toward those who don’t share our “common” standards.

How do I know I exist?

You can never be sure you exist, until you actually can see beyond the way they have “taught” us to live. Life is not an action, nor a thought, nor a vision, nor our senses, to be alive means awareness. How much aware means how much alive you feel.

What is a miracle?

Before, science there was a lot more of magic… The earth was flat and we were the center of the universe. Today, we are round and just a dot in the vast cosmos.
What will we be tomorrow?
If things have changed, they can change again. Pretty convinced things won’t change? Ask those who banned Galileo… They [...]

Why do I live with anger?

A possible reason we react with anger is a deceiving self-image that leads you to depresion.
If you are depressed, it is most probable you want to be left alone. All this is an unconscious process, unless you make it conscious… How can you discover if this is real in you? Most of the time, while being in depression, we live denial.
