“God says; “Whomsoever you love more than Me, I will take away from you.” And He adds; “Do not say; “I cannot live without him/her.” I will make you live without him/her.” And the season passes. The branches of tree providing shade become dry. Patience runs out. The person whom you think as a part […]
What Is a Spoiled Child “A spoiled child is not a child who receives too much of what it wants.A spoiled child is one who does not receive enough of what it needs.” This is Jesper Juul’s definition of a spoiled child from his book “Here I Am! Who are You?” Juul, a Danish family therapist […]
It has been a long time since I recommended books on my website, and to compensate, I will recommend three at once! This is because I am not just recommending the books, but their author—Jesper Juul, the Danish family therapist and author of numerous books on parent-child relationships and upbringing. His most famous work is […]
In his book “Being a Man and a Father”, the Danish family therapist Jesper Juul speaks about the inevitable crises that periodically arise in long-term relationships. Since a relationship is a living entity that is constantly evolving, development leads to change, and change—if not properly understood—leads to crisis. Knowledge is invaluable precisely in such moments. […]
There is a poem by Charles Bukowski that I like very much. Since I’ve been thinking about it often lately, I decided to share it on my website as well. “They say that hell is crowded, yet, when you’re in hell, you always seem to be alone. & you can’t tell anyone when you’re in […]
According to therapist Brad Blanton, author of the book Radical Honesty, the main cause of stress is not something else, but living a lie. According to him, “We all lie like the world. It saps our life force. It’s the root cause of the stress people experience. In short: lying sees us through the bill.”
I have written on this topic before, but now I feel the urge to return to it once again. Many people have a tendency to become exhausted and confused when they connect with other people’s suffering and with their desire to help. This happens because they “put the cart before the horse” and, instead of […]
There is a story about a samurai that I like very much. I am retelling it here from memory. Once upon a time, there was a samurai whose master had been killed. He set out to find his master’s murderer, as his samurai duty commanded him to kill the man. When he finally found him, […]
Osho’s books are the product of what he spoke in conversations with his sannyasins—discourses on particular themes or responses to questions.In one of these encounters, a person addresses him, sharing that he often finds himself completely filled with a feeling he cannot explain: “There is a deep love there—but the very same feeling often comes […]
“Connecting with the spirit inside you is not something that happens once and for all. It is a slow and gradual process, in which you connect, disconnect, reconnect… Gradually the focus of your consciousness moves from duality to oneness. It re-orients itself, finding that eventually it is drawn to silence rather than to thoughts and […]
There are moments in our lives when we feel exhausted, depleted of all vital energy, without knowing why this is happening or what we can do to change it. In my experience, the reasons are many, and they differ from one case to another. Here I will share two of them, described by Antero Alli […]
“It is of the utmost importance to have knowledge. But it is also of the utmost importance to be able to escape the known.” Jiddu Krishnamurti With this quote begins the article by Antero Alli, “Double Vision: On the First and Second Attention.” In it, he presents two different ways of perceiving reality, which are […]
