My Book, "The Mirror of Yourself"
Subject: Human Psyche, Body, Philosophy and Existentialism.
​
Inspired by Carl Jung.
Lets say who we really are depends of what state of consciousness we are in on that present moment
From the state of Oneness, it seems obvious we're nothing else than the observator, surrendering to what is & accepting the journey as it comes. Pain and pleasure succeed each other, same as waves in a ocean
From the state of duality, I do believe we are what we feed every single day. We become the thoughts turning around whatever activity we practice every day
A banker can be uninterested in his work & play guitare every night with pleasure, he is a guitarist then for me, not a banker
This is why I don’t believe in categories & judgements, or defining oneself with something he might not be at all. This tendency of all to only focus on others & criticizing what they don’t know anything about, is for me, the worse
I wonder why each human being isn’t able, nor has the guts to speak only about himself
For the ones who did the work to go out of the Plato cave, they can hide behind infinite jobs or clothes & u ll never recognize who they really are UNLESS IF U KNOW YOURSELF ALREADY
'Before enlightenment chop wood, after enlightenment, chop wood.”
My book is a summary of 15 years analyzing myself & others, studying, working, going deeper & deeper in all subjects by extreme curiosity, through so many challenges & infinite experiences of life, written as a gift to the world:
Claiming peace
Giving a full understanding of oneself to oneself through my own healing journey, joining each pieces of a puzzle, one after the other until it creates the masterpiece that we are, who we really are deep down:
The Mirror of Ourselves 🧿
Based on 38 chapters, taking my journey step by step, from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom (or madness;)
It was my way to Liberation
(Never by the rules obviously)
