Beyond the Noise

To whom it may concern. Because life can be messy, conflicting, confusing, and there is no path set or destiny to straighten you while you live it. You may pretend, claim to be this or that, decorate well your outside for others to see. People do this every day. But this only adds fuel to the spirit of self-neglect, until you realize the core of your own life.

And that’s because, above all, your life is no more than your mind. The world and all its experiences are the result of billions of minds, of billions of people like you trying to find themselves in what others have brought into the world already. Neglecting yourself is only trying to find yourself in the world, in the reality others have created.

One can travel places, amass fortunes, become religious, study all kinds of knowledge, jump from relationship to relationship, have families and follow traditions. But all the messy, the conflicting, the doubt, the hurt, will remain until you let go of the world and its fake and marketed exploration of the self.

It’s impossible to find who you really are out there, because the noisy world is not a perfect mirror of yourself. The world, as created by man, everywhere, is about selling you something. That is how societies thrive. Whether selling you engaging experiences, manufactured emotions, religious fanaticism, ancient or new philosophies, objects you do not really need.

But, know this, the only thing that is real is your mind, because there you find the source of the hurt, of the excitement, of the fear, of the passions, of everything that makes your feel and behavior. It is extremely personal. And if you can study, daily, your mind, then you can see and feel how you are nothing like the world, how above it you are, and how there are millions of shadows and burdens living in your psyche that are not you.

What we observe

Mainly it is what we observe that affects us. A healthy brain works as it is supposed to work, if there is no genetic abnormality. But what we observe forms our minds, our mindsets, our thoughts. If we observe poverty, that is all we can imagine for ourselves. If we observe neglectful, painful, dramatic situations in our lives, then that is all we feel we deserve in our lives.

It’s very difficult to transcend this level of unawareness for most people. It is what we form in our minds. What we see and hear form what we think. And, if we remain unaware, we create a belief from what we see and hear. A belief that may drive us to despair, to feelings of loneliness, to feelings of unworthiness, and even to more mental and physical decay.

So, it is all what you allow yourself to create in your mind. These creations as explosions of rainbow colors will take over your mind and body. They will become your world, and they will cement your new persona. You are always changing, whether you realize it or not. So, your new persona, the way you feel, think, see yourself and the world will be brought about by the schemes of your own mind.

The way you feel, the way you are, how stuck or unstuck you believe yourself to be, is not about God, or about Satan, or about the government, or about how messed up the world is; but it is about you and how you allow your mind to form. The power goes where your attention goes.

If your attention goes to other people, to the way things are in your life right now, even to spiritual worlds, then the power stays there, outside yourself, and you always remain down, a follower, and just another victim trying to survive your own making. But if you use your attention to create your own mind, without outside crutches, then you raise above your old self, above the world and any influence.

More out of life

It’s easy to be upset, and to remain upset. It’s easier to destroy than to create. Remaining upset means holding onto what happened, to your desire to blame everyone and everything but yourself, to escape responsibility or any change to move on. Holding on feels good, because it does not take effort from you, and it doesn’t bring change, and it means you are right.

PROVING as in facts, not opinions or feelings. And facts can only be experienced if you remain unchained from the old, from old views, from old feelings, from all blind faith, and from whatever makes your thinking bias and your spirit unable to soar to new heights. See, whatever we think is keeping us down, or keeping us feeling this way, or keeping us in pain, or thinking that we are going nowhere. It is always us.

Moving on though creates uncertainty, because your feelings evolve, things change, new things happen, and it takes courage to let go and experience new feelings and the possibility of being wrong or mistaken. But, as it really is, experiencing life is moving on, adapting, changing to new perspectives, PROVING to yourself if you were wrong or not.

And what makes you see this truth is perspective. So, if you decide to remain the way you are, or holding on to the way you think and believe now, then your perspective is always the same and it will not change. But if decide, even though it may be hard for you, to change, to let go of pride, to leave the past, to create new beliefs and new ways to see life, then your mind shifts and your perspective changes.

And, in time, as your perspective changes, so does your heart, which means the way you truly feel about yourself and all existence changes as well. And now your spirit soars to new heights, to heights you had no idea existed before. And then there is a new, constant feeling of wellness in you, not the roller coaster of good moments and bad ones. But true happiness and true love that you, and only YOU, have created.

Get up 8 times

Self-awareness is key

The human spirit has always been strong, nothing can affect it; however, the unruly one, the one that needs our full attention, is the mind. Too many things can alter the mind and bring it down, to the point that we start believing we are not capable, or worth it, or even deserving of any love and happiness.

But look at your life, minus the troubles and anxiety your mind creates. There you find your source for strength. Self-awareness is this exercise I’ve mentioned, when you stop using your mind so much and stop accepting whatever thought pops up in there.

You get up the eighth time by becoming aware of yourself. “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” ~ Paulo Coelho.

Better lives

Too much anxiety

I feel that worry is only truly useful when we can change an outcome. Too much worry, that anxiety that makes you feel fearful and frustrated, self-doubt and self-conscious, can be really damaging for our well-being.

I’m not talking about the worry of the mother for her son on his 1st day of school. I’m talking about the worry of, for example, what other people think of you, or the worry that comes from thinking about the job you applied for, or the worry from your financial situation that is also stressing you and making you angry even with the people around you.

Just do your best

We live better lives if we are brave, which means detaching ourselves from this useless worry and anxiety, letting go from the mental ritual of overthinking. I always say ‘I’ll change whatever I can. The rest is not up to me’. Life is a roller coaster. Up and down.

Sometimes we don’t even know where it’s going. But the only power, the greatest power we have in fact, is to steer our mind into greater purpose. This means that we should seek to be more serene and easygoing. Go with the flow. Do our best, let the rest be.

Your own space

My creative space

Currently writing the 1st chapters of my new book, #5 in the series, “Son of Darkness”. (By the way, sorry for the obscurity of the image below. The day I took that photo was a very dull and cloudy day and not much light entered the window of my room.)


This is my small place to be. The nook where I create my joy. My simple desk, where I make things happen and I create my stories. Everybody needs a place where they feel passionate, secure, creative, confident.

A place where you can recharge and wrestle with your thoughts, self-explore and come up with greater insights for your life. I hope you have a place of your own, whatever and wherever that place is.

It’s about getting rid of stress, self-heal, add more deep thinking to come up with new ideas, and strengthening the trust and belief in yourself. Because it’s all about health of body and mind to be able to love yourself and your life entirely.

The mental prison

We all have proplems–financial, in relationships, personal, etc. And the mind can be a prison. When one lives in one’s own mental world, great distress, great overthinking. This can really drive a person mad, and make this one aggressive towards others as well.

We may even lose focus of what is important in our lives, neglect ourselves and those close to us. I personally let it go. It’s a mental practice, never becoming attached to anything at all; but especially to those things I have no control over.

The greatest freedom

And letting go is not so easy at times. But is freedom what we must seek in life, not more debt, not more beliefs, not more traditions, not more commitments to something we are not passionate about. But freedom. Always freedom.

Freedom is psychological. To feel free to think clearly. To feel free from overthinking and the burdens it brings. We will love life according to how we feel. If we feel positive, there’s a bigger chance and capacity for us to be happy and in love.

A positive shift

Thinking positive

Thinking positive attracts better things into your life. Thinking positive changes the way you see, feel, experience life. So, thinking positive, especially when your mind is full of anxiety and uncertainty, shifts your whole mindset, your whole character and persona. In fact, positive thinking gets rid of all anxiety.

Improving your life

This leads you to a better lifestyle, because thinking like this is really self-care, which means you’ll grow passion to better yourself in all other aspects. It makes you more attractive. It gives you confidence and vision for a better future. So all your life improves as a consequence of this inner change.

Anxiety

Feeling anxious

Anxiety is what happens when we obsess about the future or even about the past. Maybe something or someone we lost. Perhaps some tragedy or very personal issue. This overthinking becomes a terrible dread which splits our focus and makes us lose sight of the moment.

And, of course, to feel anxious is very normal, very common, especially for women; but it can become a serious mental illness and truly distort reality, even bringing acute paranoia and serious depression. It is a very serious matter in the world.

Train your mind

Feeling nervous, restless, tense. Having a sense of panic or doom. Having an increased heart rate. Breathing rapidly. Feeling weak or tired. I met some people in the past with these symptoms. It can make you afraid of even going out, being social, or opening your heart to someone.

But anxiety really is your ego (your lower self, the one who wants control) fighting your higher self (the one who wants to live in peace). So, it’s really a dissonance deep-rooted within your psyche. It’s a lack of silence in your mind.

So, seek ways, habits, to silence your mind; ways to train your mind to accept silence as the new normal. So when you feel anxious you can easily switch to a silent mind and focus on something more inspiring.

Talking to the best

Self-talk

I’ve read in a scientific article long ago that self-talk is very important. I always remember that article because I consider self-talk extremely important in my life. Life can be extremely difficult, with many pressures and ugliness; however, the most important weapon we have against all that is our own mind–our mentality or mental state.

Good communication daily

How am I doing?? Why do I care about what others think and say about me?? What is the best step to take to accomplish my passions and goals?? Why am I being so impulsive?? I ask myself questions like these daily, and many more.

Because in order to know myself better I need to dig deep and treat me as my best friend, and that means to care for myself and be interested about myself. I must establish communication, respect, and trust with myself. It might sound silly, but, in all honesty, love and happiness will only grow in you if there is good communication daily.
