Elio D’Anna | The Dreamer

This is what I understood after going deeply within myself.I realized that much of what I had been taught in school and at university was simply nonsense.

So I began to ask myself: what should education really be?

In my view, students should not simply be students.

At ESE’s campuses in Italy and Spain, we are already changing this.We have removed the desks — the professor’s desk and the students’ desks — and we sit in a circle.Because we are partners.

There is no division between teachers and students.We are partners.You don’t come here only to learn, but also to enrich the school and the professors.

You bring your youth, your creativity, your originality, and your beauty.And that is something extremely precious.

So, we are partners.

We have to be ready for a coming era that the European School of Economics is already representing. The coming era of joblessness, which is a blessing. It is not a threat. It is a blessing of golden, creative leisure. Working will become a crime.

Man is ready to do nothing. Man is made for dreaming. Man is made to return to his source, which is godship. Man is a god—a god who has forgotten his very nature. 

An individual revolution is taking place. More and more men are becoming aware of the powerlessness, of their psychological incompleteness, and the limitation of a conflicting vision of existence, made of opposites and antagonists.

More and more men want to escape the majority and perceive their life as their own personal adventure. These men know that to become an ‘individual’ they have to tackle a task that is revolted towards themselves in order to elevate their quality of thought and to enable them to integrate themselves in the essence of being. They are willing to undergo intense and prolonged hardships in order to leave their destiny of the ‘average’ man and to become the ‘balanced’ man. These men are aware that this is the first step towards becoming a “vertical” man.

Q. : Then are austerities and disciplines of any use?

A. :To meet gratefully whatever life brings is all the austerity you need.

Don’t invent self-inflicted torture through useless disciplines. Accept what comes as it comes.

One day, you will realise that everything in the world is part of your conscious creativity, and that you don’t need any discipline to become what you already are: the cause of all causes.

The Dreamer

Nothing coming from outside will ever change or help man to achieve any possible evolution and freedom — for a man to be completely free, he has to be guided by his own will, self-knowledge and inner understanding.

A true university revolution happens through individual rebellion against a system that only pays attention to the external world, without realizing that everything visible, everything we see and touch, is merely the shadow of an invisible reality behind it.

Visibilia ex invisibilibus - the visible comes from the invisible.

The schools and universities of the future must offer a system of vital ideas, ideas capable of interpreting the world and providing a clear framework for the human condition and its possible evolution.

What is needed are Schools of Being, capable of ferrying humanity from the shore of dependency and division to that of freedom and wholeness. Their mission must be to prepare free men, and first and foremost, free from negative emotions, from the prisons of roles, from prejudice, from second-hand ideas, from the zoology of the senses and emotions, free from time, and from all the inner cages that are the only true sources of limitation.

The world follows your steps, obeys your inner states, but if these aren’t governed by the Will, they are like crazy monkeys jumping from one branch to another.  When you realize that all is decided and depends on you, you don’t have any more time to worry about the others

Transformation is an inside-out process.

Self-observation is its essential first principle - the device that frees you from the worst of all evils: identification with the world. Only through self-observation can you perceive the inner conditions that generate the events you call “outer reality.” When you watch yourself without judgment, without considering, without reacting, you begin to see the true source of every circumstance.

You cannot become whole in a minute, in a year, or in a lifetime, but only Now.

Identification is the reaction to something that has already happened. Commitment is the creative power that can project what is about to happen. Identification is a prison that you inflict on yourself; commitment on the other hand, is freedom, integrity, a sense of certainty, consistency, fearlessness and vitality. You can feel this new strength in your flesh, in your joints, in your breath, and in your heart. 

It is the Invisible You manifesting in the world of action.

“The world is as you dream it” means that you are the dreamer. You are the cause of all and everything. There is no division, no separation between you and the world you inhabit. You produce it, you project it. You are the reason the world exists; the world exists because of you. If you cease to exist, the world ceases to exist.

One day the Dreamer in you will burst forth as your indivisible being - silent and incorruptible, shining beneath the deafening noise of the world and dissolving the whole spell of forgetfulness in a single instant of recognition.

Remember.

The world is a mirror.

The world of events

is the projection of your level of inner certainty. It measures exactly your level of responsibility.

So return to yourself.

The closer you are to yourself, the greater is your life.

Freedom is the ability to turn the world on and off. To switch it on and off, like a film.

To step into the scene and step out of it

without being trapped in its hypnosis, without being drawn by the song of the sirens.

Freedom - the only freedom that truly exists,

is freedom from identification.

‘Give your entire attention to the most important thing in your life: yourself. You are the centre of the universe. Without knowing the centre you can know nothing.’ 

Acting consciously, in the Dreamer’s vision of irony and lucidity, is not deceit but the highest form of truth - the art of embodying one’s role in life with awareness, precision, inner command and intent, until the actor and the part become one, and the world, in return, cannot do otherwise than follow and obey.

To act intentionally, deliberately, is the art of a warrior.

Question and Answer: Be aware of your thinking.

The state of thoughtlessness is victory that spreads out in all directions and forever in this very moment. A true artist creates, whether he is aware or not, from the realm of thoughtlessness, inner stillness, deep silence.

We have lived until now thinking that thought is useful – but behind our thoughts there is something much stronger – silence. Silence really does something – it creates, and when you create in silence you sense that you’ve created something permanent... eternal.... This is ‘doing’.

Q. Can you tell us about the wars in the world and what should be our attitude towards them?

A. Have you ever seen any war?....(silence)... you will never see one.

War, like poverty, is not an objective status, but a subjective

state of being.

War, like poverty, is an inner matter and never an outer reality.

The world in its apparent objectivity is only a projection.

War, poverty, horrors, disease and death are only within. They all come from within.

The objective world is only a reflection of your subjectivity - only you can heal and save the world if you know how to heal and save yourself.

The path to travel takes the form of its traveller.

Q. What about the media? Are they not telling us what in the world is really happening? Are they not telling us the truth about the real conditions of the people in the world?

A. N0! . . . . They are only telling you about your own inner states and conditions. They are only telling you what you yourself want them to tell you.

They are only giving you what you unconsciously ask for.

It is time to disregard all teachings, ideologies, disciplines, books and ideas, your own and those of others, anything at all put into words and writings, and dive deeply within yourself to find your own truth, your own uniqueness, this alone will remove all your obstacles and leave you free from any hypnotism and in full mastery of all and everything.

Ci vuole molto tempo prima che quel barlume, quella scintilla di libertà possa essere la spinta e riesca a mettere in moto la volontà.

Tutto deve essere fatto con le proprie forze, ed è solo il ricordo di questa scintilla a dare la forza per continuare.

Tutto deve essere rinnovato continuamente, realizzi che non puoi ricevere aiuto da nessuno, che devi continuare a cambiare. Nessun risultato raggiunto può essere di garanzia, sembra avvilente ma si tratta di una grande avventura.

Per questo si devono fare tutti i tentativi possibili per portare il ricordo di questa forza, per riuscire a scollarsi da questo sistema, un mondo piccolissimo e soffocante.

L’innalzamento è la risposta, vedere che sei tu che crei la tua stessa prigione, tu sei la divinità che crea tutto questo ed anche la nullità che ci vive dentro.

Sei l’identificazione con quella povertà che ti contiene, quella che  viene chiamata la cosiddetta realtà.

Realizza di essere questo personaggio solitario che attraversa tutto, che ha creato questa trappola mortale, questa macchina nata per giocare.

Be Here and Now.

Tre secondi a contatto con te stesso… Essi contengono l’infinito… È una grande notizia, eppure fermarsi, riprendere possesso di sé stesso per tre secondi è un’impresa impossibile.

Il fare attraverso il non fare. È questa la veglia del guerriero, la sua vigilia di immobilità. L’apparente suo riposo significa mettere a posto il mondo. Lo si fa in tre secondi.

È così semplice e così potente, ma senza una vera comprensione è impossibile.

Uno, due, tre… sono qui… totalmente… questo è il fare, il potere, la felicità… Possedersi per tre secondi. 

e chi non ricorda se stesso è vittima della stupidità

Il destino di un’impresa familiare è inseparabile dal suo fondatore: il re è la terra e la terra è il re. Due aziende su tre in Italia non superano il passaggio generazionale perché si trasferiscono solo beni e strategie, ma non il sogno che le ha create. 

L’impresa è un essere vivente, con un’anima, e senza quella visione originaria nessuna riorganizzazione può assicurarne la continuità. Per questo servono Scuole dell’Essere, capaci di allenare la responsabilità e di ricordare ai giovani la loro unicità. Una vera scuola insegna che il sogno è la cosa più reale che ci sia e che dietro ogni conquista della civiltà c’è sempre un visionario. Educare imprenditori significa coltivare coraggio, indipendenza e amore per l’impresa e per gli uomini. 

Solo il sogno rende liberi, trasforma paura in amore, povertà in prosperità. È da qui che nascerà una nuova generazione di leader visionari, capaci di armonizzare economia ed etica, azione e contemplazione, potere e amore.

Attraverso la padronanza di sé e la conoscenza della propria vera natura, un individuo può liberare se stesso e, per estensione, tutta l’umanità, da questo stato permanente di guerra: dalla schiavitù del lavoro, dalla corruzione politica, dalla tirannia del potere finanziario, dalla dipendenza da macchine, computer, robot e, soprattutto, dall’ossessione onnipresente e minacciosa della morte stessa.

La Tecnologia del Dreamer guiderà l’umanità oltre queste nuove colonne d’Ercole. Verso luoghi dove solo pochi ricercatori, folli luminosi e visionari hanno osato avventurarsi. Rovesciare la falsa idea dell’inevitabilità della morte significa abbattere millenni di confini e aprire all’umanità possibilità mai immaginate.

L’uomo integro, maestro nell’arte della recita, si adatta alle circostanze come una vela al vento: indossa con leggerezza una maschera e si lancia impavido nella mischia confusa, pur rimanendo estraneo ad essa e senza identificarsi con essa.

Un guerriero, un uomo libero non può mostrarsi sempre per ciò che è; come un camaleonte, deve mutare forma e colore, sgambettando la meccanicità della ricorrenza e impedendo a sé stesso di precipitare nei cicli viziosi e mortali della ripetitività.

“Ogni gesto intenzionale che interrompe questo ritmo ti arricchisce, amplifica le tue capacità e spalanca sentieri invisibili verso il successo, a prescindere da qualsiasi sfida che incontrerai sul tuo cammino.”

Ed è qui che inizia la vera rivoluzione: la tua trasformazione.

Un guerriero che non si traveste, che non diventa invisibile agli occhi mortali del mondo, non sopravvive. L’arte della recita lo rende invulnerabile, invincibile.

Infatti, l’errore umano consiste semplicemente nel dimenticare, nel confondersi con il ruolo, nell’identificarsi totalmente con la maschera, con il gioco. E così che si manca il bersaglio, finendo per percorrere, gradualmente, una rotta opposta a quella intrapresa.

La recita si trasforma così un viaggio di ritorno dell’uomo verso l’invisibile, verso la propria integrità, un cammino per riconquistare quella volontà seppellita e dimenticata, per svegliarsi dal sonno profondo della propria indolenza.

Questo percorso, apparentemente alla portata di tutti, si rivela in realtà un’impresa ai limiti dell’impossibile, guidata non dalla mera speranza, dal desiderio o dall’aspettativa, ma da una determinazione incrollabile e da una certezza interiore che trasforma inesorabilmente l’essere in un Paradiso portatile.

Osservate il dubbio, mettetelo sotto il mirino della vostra attenzione e colpitelo.

Entrerete in uno stato di sicurezza, you will feel safe. Non c’è niente di più potente.

E non c’è ricchezza più grande. Il suo valore è incalcolabile. 

The sense of safety is timeless, is the eternity. Si può essere certi solo in assenza di tempo. Il dubbio, la dualità, i “si e no” interni sono figli del tempo. Conflitti, incidenti e disastri anche questi sono tutti nel tempo.

Lo stato di certezza è uno stato di vittoria… Quando hai vinto te stesso dal mondo non arrivano più “no!”. 

Be certain, feel safe. Non c’è potere più grande. Eternità. Infinito, immortalità devono essere sostenuti da uno stato di certezza. Senza questo ogni cosa è precaria, insignificante, rischiosa… ogni cosa è in bilico. Incertezza, paura, sospetto, sono le creature partorite dal dubbio che ci portiamo dentro da sempre. 

Pensate a quanto è grande questa scoperta. Non c’è altro a cui pensare, a cui dedicarsi.

Questo audio è un estratto di un dialogo continuo tra una lettrice ed Elio, ove quest’ultimo, svolgendo un ruolo catartico, risveglia una conoscenza già presente, sempre esistita, ma relegata nel buio di una dimenticanza inconsapevole. Qui l'autore rivela il ruolo di Lupelius, personaggio chiave de la scuola degli Dei, quale figura medianica capace di svelare le radici di un'intelligenza atavica e di fungere da ponte tra il mondo infinito e unitario dell’Essere e un’orizzontalità fatta di tempo e dualità e, proprio per questo, in grado di consentire anche il percorso a ritroso, annullando il tempo, nella decisiva presa di coscienza che i principi della “Scuola degli Dei” siano...“per sempre”...

(cit. Federico Leonardi)

Vivere in un'assenza di tempo, assenza di morte, sospesi tra due dolori: il passato e il futuro.

Il passato è creato in questo istante, da questo istante. Come il futuro.

La felicità è solo in questo istante. Al di fuori di questo istante c’è solo il dolore. Chi vive nell’istante non può essere intrappolato nei ruoli, li può solo recitare. Chi non è capace di recitare, deve ripetere e ripetere… e soffrire. 

La sofferenza è inesistente, eppure la sentiamo sulla nostra pelle. L’umanità è tutta intrappolata nel dolore dei ruoli, nella prigione illusoria di una visione mortale appresa fin dall’infanzia.

Dobbiamo imparare a vivere l’istante, felici, sospesi tra passato e futuro.

Questa sospensione, questa felicità fa tutto per noi, ci dà tutto quello che possiamo sognare e oltre. 

“Time is a good servant but not a good master.

If you remember yourself you will be mastering time. If you forget yourself you will be ruled and enslaved by time. If you love yourself inside you will be using time. If you harm yourself inside you’ll be used by time.”

Per riuscire a cambiare

devi lottare contro l'indottrinamento di un'intera vita!

Devi capovolgere il tuo modo di vedere le cose.

Solo così e attraverso un duro lavoro puoi cambiare il tuo destino,

ma un uomo non può farcela da solo,

ha bisogno di una Scuola.

Una Scuola del capovolgimento,

in cui le credenze e le idee di seconda mano siano demolite,

prima fra tutte l'idea della inevitabilità della morte.

La morte rappresenta l'ultima resistenza alla verità,

all'armonia e alla bellezza.

“I'm neither a lecturer nor a teacher, and my purpose is not to provide lessons or inject new theories, concepts, or notions into you. Instead, I'm here for one reason only: to enable you to ‘remember’ the future through Self-Remembering, that means the acknowledgment of yourself as the very creator of your own reality.” 

We are rapidly moving towards a not-doing civilization where truth, goodness, beauty and the pursuit of happiness are the pillars of a shining new economically evolved society. The advent of unemployment — of joblessness, will not be considered a time of crisis, depression or condemnation, but a glorious blessing, a conquered freedom finally achieved by man’s inner growth and understanding.

The era of joblessness refers to a future where technology and automation have advanced to the point where traditional jobs are no longer necessary for most people. This would lead to a society where people have more leisure time to pursue creative and meaningful activities, rather than being stuck in unfulfilling jobs simply to earn a living. That this shift towards joblessness would require a radical rethinking of our societal values and economic systems. Rather than valuing people based on their job titles or incomes, we would need to find new ways to recognize and reward contributions to society.

What is called 'work' today is nothing but dependency. Billions of people depend on a paycheck, a salary, a boss. This is not freedom; this is slavery. Modern man is in chains, and now, paradoxically, he is afraid of losing those chains.

A. You, yourself are the mark to hit

Individual and Mass

The usual confrontation between the two eternal opponents: the individual and the mass. 

There are two antithetical visions of the world that through millennia have demonstrated the impossibility of getting to terms at all. 

An individual speaks and tries to put forward his philosophy to a mass of people who cannot avoid having the opposite opinion. He makes every possible effort in his ingenious attempt to be understood.  It’s like thinking Socrates would have been able to convince his 600 judges, Galileo the Holy Inquisition or Jesus the Synedrion. Their chances were not larger than M.L King’s to convince the WASP Establishment of the USA in the sixties. The very qualities of the individual make him dislikeable to the mass of humanity that is lead hypnotically by his song of pain, by the magma of emotions and negative illusions, first among them the suspect, the doubt, and the fear. 

The individual creates - anything big, useful, beautiful, any development in science and conscience has always been thought and realized by one man and one man alone - the mass destroys; the individual dreams, the mass does not - at best it creates nightmares.  Yes, because journalists with activist spirit and obvious dislike for the other political party did not express independent thought, but the political standing of a party, of a regime. Finally, the individual can nurture positive feelings like love, optimism, and gratitude, the mass cannot, it irreparably thinks and feels in a negative way - Always.

Freedom from desire and fear

Freedom means essentially freedom from desire and fear. Do not pay any attention to your desires and fears. Let them come and go. Even desire for truth, one day, has to be abandoned to make further progress possible.

Q. If desires disappear then, what remains?

A. All that which can never change - all the truth, goodness, intelligence and beauty of this world, remains - the infinite, almighty, immeasurable you remains.

Q. We are worried about tomorrow, about the future - the uncertainty of the future. We don't know how to deal with this uncertainty.

A. First of all, ask yourself what 'time' is all about - what is the very meaning of time.

Time is a trap, a painful, mortal, self-created prison. Time is a crime generated by your own way of thinking. So, thought breeds fear and fear creates all that which you are afraid of. In the powerful state of inner awareness, fear will disappear and with it, all the absurdities and contradictions of an imaginary world.   

Yesterday I met with the students and they were not expecting the founder of the European School of Economics to talk about life and immortality, deathlessness and inner state of deathlessness to create an incredible reality. They were very, very attentive. One student, who I met a few minutes ago and who was not in the meeting, asked his colleagues what happened, someone said “It was very funny”. Someone said “I liked it very much, but it's difficult to practice something like this.” It is not. It is not difficult. It is difficult to understand. It is difficult to turn our own vision upside down, because we are adults. We've been taught to communicate with our families, our children, our spouses, in the same way that everyone else does… 8 billion people share the same mentality. I am proposing to...  to make a revolution, a very silent revolution, it's not an external revolution, it is an inner one

Love thy enemy

“Behind the mask of the opponent, behind the appearances, there lies the face of our greatest ally” He explained to me. Then He added: “Contrary to what mankind believes, human beings can’t be opposed by anything bigger than themselves… the rival is never superior in strength!” (The School for Gods, Elio D’Anna)

… The state university felt threatened by someone who founded a small school with principles that were very subversive and revolutionary. They attacked me, attacked the school ferociously and I had to bring the government, the Italian state, in front of the Supreme Court in Luxembourg and I won.

The individual wins, always, if he or she is really an individual.

A.

You are the richest and most powerful Being on Earth... but you don't know it. This 'not knowing' makes you miserable, unhappy ....and mortal.  You're the freest Being in the Universe...but you don't know it. This makes you the most fragile creature on Earth.

Your level of freedom and happiness, and your wealth as well, depend on your level of consciousness and Integrity, and yet your whole Life is dedicated to demonstrate to yourself the opposite — that everything is an effect of the world, that fault lies on outer circumstances.

Living wealthy is a state of being that needs to be created from within.

Whatever the role you find yourself in, try to remember that you are the author and creator of everything.

This awareness makes you rich, happy, and free. Whatever obscures this awareness, makes you the most miserable Being on Earth. You alone are the obstacle to this freedom, this wealth...this happiness.

You have it because you love it. You suffer because you enjoy suffering.  If you enjoy being negative, in whatever forms, you can never observe it and never separate from it. You cannot separate from what you have a secret affection for.  

Whatever you identify with, you become.

The inner economy is the answer and the solution to all crisis.

Economy like politics is an inner matter.

Any external revolution, be it social, political or economical, can only increase misery and suffering, and perpetuate without remedy, crisis, conflicts and violence. If the world is really as you dream it - if the world is truly an extension of your inner states and conditions, as we believe it is, then you can be certain that there is an impeccable economy within man that, once revealed, will change and govern the world at will..... in harmony and prosperity.

"Remember! The slightest change in your being moves mountains and projects yourself like a giant in the world of events."

Acting consciously is the practical way to overcome all difficulties. Conscious acting is the power of the will in action. You can only act consciously by realizing that the world is nothing but the mirror image of yourself. Act flawlessly, you will know the play of roles and you will know how to transcend them.

The whole man, even though he holds all kinds of social positions, does not remain trapped in roles; he is able to act perfectly, and without identifying himself, the part assigned to him in the Game of existence. The moment you believe that there is a reality separate from yourself, you lose your status as a creator and become a victim of your own creation. Life manifests itself with all its theatrical madness, which you can survive only if you know the Art of Acting.

We need schools of freedom, self-knowledge, schools of integrity. The primary characteristic of a school of the future is to eliminate rather than add, eliminating outdated structures, layers of ignorance, worn-out concepts, and obsolete ideas. It seeks to discard preconceptions, false emotions, imaginary fears, and any identification with the superficial or the world of appearances. This “School of Overturn” focuses on dismantling old educational paradigms to re-educate humanity in the name of Being.

This new education must promote a healthy inner development, through an "Inside Out Process." We can no longer push young people to look outside themselves, to rely on external, prepackaged knowledge. We must encourage them to look inside, to observe themselves, to know themselves, and to tackle their specters, their own limits, their own sufferings until they touch what they truly are, thus bringing out their natural gifts, their innate talents, their insights, and finally, their most precious asset: the Dream.

We often assume that ancient people were wiser than us, but they were just grappling with basic human questions like 'to be or not to be,' 'left or right. He wasn't conscious of the doubt lurking behind his thoughts. Observe the doubt, because when you're in doubt, everything seems wrong, whether you choose right or left. Doubt creates a bleak reality. So, try to become aware of the doubt that underlies such duality. Realize that you are present here and now. Once you understand and acknowledge the doubt, you'll find that awareness always leads you down the right path.

 Education, in its essence, means to extract, to bring forth. It’s crucial to understand that we shouldn’t just be filling students with notions, concepts, and second-hand knowledge, which is o[en what happens. Instead, we need to let them bring forth something that truly belongs to them. This is where the future lies. Students should be considered as partners. With the advent of the internet and AI technology, information is at our fingertips. It would be foolish to end school only to learn obsolete things when advanced knowledge can be accessed instantly. So, what can we truly offer our students? The opportunity for them to bring forth their own uniqueness, their own dreams.

Time is a paint we apply to Being, to the invisible, to see and touch what we do not want to see and touch within ourselves.

“We have to approach the concept of time not as an objective phenomenon but as a subjective construct, a kind of ‘paint’ applied to Being to make the invisible… visible. “Time is a device that you yourself have created and placed at your service to see and touch what you do not want to see and touch within yourself. Therefore what you call reality, the physical world, is nothing more than the revelation of your false beliefs and inner fragmentation.”

Whatever is happening out there has to have your inner consent to happen.

Otherwise it cannot happen.

If we understand this, we become alive.

We come out of death. We become deathless. And this is what we have to give to the world and to our students. Deathlessness.

There is a Sun out there because the real Sun is in you. 

There is a Moon in the sky because the real Moon is within you. 

There are planets, stars and galaxies out there but they are only a symbolic representation of the infinity inside you. 

There are Gods and demons, UFOs and aliens, ghosts and monsters out there that can enslave you and eat you if you forget that they are mere figments of your own imagination. 

Realize that you yourself are the dreamer, the sole creator, and governor of the entire universe, and of all the matter that surrounds you which is no more than the dust of your own projections. 

The world exists because of you, without you the world simply collapses.

“The true creator of the reality that surrounds you, is you! … but you have forgotten…”

“What have I forgotten?” I asked. I could hear a trace of hostility in my voice, emblematic of the distance that was growing between us.

“The world requires you so that it can exist. You have forgotten that you are its creator, and you have become the shadow of your own creation.”

His tone of voice bridged the distance and brought me back into line, like a schoolboy.

“The world is subjective, personal!... It is the mirror image of our Being…Vision and reality are one and the same thing, the only thing dividing them is ‘time’.”(The School for Gods quote)

“The world is as you dream it,”  the idea on which the European School of Economics was founded, tells us that all we see and touch, all that we call reality, is none other than the materialization of our dream.   This philosophical approach creates the basis for a work of interior transformation in young people that is addressed towards raising their level of responsibility.

The United States of Europe can only be the natural consequence of the growth and development of a European consciousness. Being European doesn’t mean to occupy a certain geographic area in Europe. Being European means thinking as a European, living in a country with European beliefs and traditions, and feeling as a European. Being European is an inside- out process which means to develop in each citizen a European consciousness – an inner sense of European patriotism – a conscious, eternal idea of a united nation called “Europe”.

As the founding fathers of the United States built that nation around life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, each individual, each European must see himself as not a citizen of an individual state but for what he is in this moment – as a European. The job of the leaders is to instil the principles upon which to build.

States and nations must be conceived of as a whole if United Europe is to survive.

“The solution comes from inside. What happens ‘outside’ is only a consequence. European Consciousness is not something that you will be drawn into because first the others think of it and you agree. European Consciousness needs to be created.

Lo sport esiste per un solo motivo: sperimentare per qualche istante lo stato di assenza di pensiero.

E gli sportivi vivono per un solo scopo, sebbene non ne siano consapevoli - per smettere di pensare - "Se pensi, affondi". Prova a non pensare mentre agisci e svolgi il tuo compito quotidiano, e non subirai mai alcuna sconfitta. Il pensiero è tempo, e tutto ciò che è nel tempo o governato dal tempo è falso e ti intrappola in uno stato di paura, preoccupazione e dubbio.

Lo stato di assenza di pensieri è una vittoria che si espande in tutte le direzioni e per sempre in questo stesso momento. Un vero artista crea, che ne sia consapevole o meno, dal dominio dell'assenza di pensieri, della quiete interiore, del silenzio profondo.

Finora abbiamo vissuto pensando che il pensiero fosse utile, ma dietro i nostri pensieri c'è qualcosa di molto più forte: il silenzio. Il silenzio fa davvero qualcosa: crea, e quando si crea nel silenzio si ha la sensazione di aver creato qualcosa di permanente.... infinito.... eterno.... Questo è il "vero fare".

Sei l’Essere più ricco e potente della Terra… ma non lo sai. Questo “non sapere” ti rende povero, infelice… e mortale. Sei l’Essere più libero dell’Universo… ma non lo sai. Questo ti rende la creatura più fragile della Terra.

La fortuna di ogni istituzione o impresa è intrecciata all’integrità del suo fondatore. Un filo d’oro salda il suo respiro, la sua immagine e il suo destino finanziario alla sua creazione. Nazioni e civiltà intere prosperano solo sotto la guida di leader visionari, come accadeva un tempo con i sovrani: “Il Re è la Terra, e la Terra è il Re.”

La tua visione determina la tua realtà, non il contrario. Più innalzi e espandi la tua visione, più ricca sarà la tua vita.
