Everything Begins In Me

There is nothing and no one to change.

Thirty years ago, I embarked on a profound journey to understand myself. I had been quite isolated, hiding from myself, drawn by the magnetism of the illusion.

Outside, there is nothing and no one to change.

It is a mere illusion to want to do so; it is to deceive oneself, whether this desire is conscious or unconscious.


Harness the power of social media, too: not only can you easily talk back and forth with your audience, but it’s also a great tool for marketing.

When you’re setting up your social media accounts, check that you can use the same or a very similar version of your website’s domain as your account handle. This will make it easier for your audience to remember you, no matter which platform you’re using.

Throughout my 30 years of conscious growth, I’ve learned that the only thing you genuinely need to transform is yourself. Change arises from action, and inner action is essential to materialize outside.

Adopting a victim mentality and relying on others for rescue has led to considerable time and money loss. This mindset has also shut down countless opportunities that the Cosmos has always had waiting for me.

Overall, the education one gains from parents, teachers, friends, relatives, and the environment forms one's identity. This education has led each person to be surrounded by a dense electromagnetic cloud that affects one’s inner compass.

The question arises: how can one escape this dark cloud and discover one's True North?

The answer is to “ask, explore, and challenge."

Yes, and YES to all this, but first, I START WITH ME.

This statement is a Universal Law, regardless of whether I accept or reject it. It reflects how things operate: “Everything begins in me.”

No matter how often I rejected this phrase, life reminded me of it by always presenting it somewhere. I was either told or read it in a book: “You are the only one responsible for your actions.” However, I always viewed it through the lens of guilt and shame, with a negative connotation, rather than recognizing it as the most significant and liberating gift anyone could offer me.

Not accepting that “It All Begins in Me” led me to a life filled with external culprits I blamed for all my communication problems, low self-esteem, financial issues, superficial relationships lacking essence and true purpose, and failures in various projects. This was all part of life’s ups and downs; supposedly, that's just how life is.

I started to ask myself why. Why are people the way they are?

Why do things happen to me? What do I need to do?

At that moment, I projected an invisible wave of questions to the Universe within me, creating a few small holes in the balloon of my false ego that had kept me inflated for so many years, floating aimlessly with no real answers.

Whenever I asked myself, with sincerity and genuine curiosity, the questions revealed their answers, deflating the false ego and marking the start of a rebirth.

I realized that reflecting naturally leads to introspection. I was discovering who I am, which was my big aha moment!

Every question has an answer; I just had to learn to ask sincerely and honestly without being afraid of the answers.

I have found (and keep finding) that every question and response arises from an inner drive rooted in the Desire for Knowledge (a component of the Soul’s Compass that we all possess) regarding the reasons and nature of things, events, situations, and individuals.

I felt trapped in a dark electromagnetic cloud, leaving my soul’s compass without direction and no true north. When I felt lost, I began my quest to return home to where I belong (as the song goes!).

You might be curious about the questions that helped me clear the dark electromagnetic cloud in which I was feeling aimless and hopeless.

I want to share what has helped me, and I hope they are helpful to you:

  • Why do certain events happen to me repeatedly?

  • Why do I think the way I do?

  • Where do my thoughts originate?

  • Why do I feel the way I do?

  • Why do I treat myself the way I do?

And, above all, the most important question of all:

Who am I?
Honestly, who am I?

I woke up to a different reality, the reality of the Self that lives within me.

I noticed something I had previously overlooked, even though it was always before me. The issue was my absence; I was not fully present.

You might say, yes, yes, yes... I already know this...

Yes, that's good. It’s great that you know it, and I have to ask:

Do you practice it?

Do you apply what you claim to know?

Or is it merely a collection of information in your mind without any real experience behind it?

Refreshing and Profound

Have you truly experienced it yourself? Do you apply it—do you practice it every day of your life?

Who do you share it with?

Who do you inspire with your experience?

An experiment is one thing; an experience is another.

An experiment involves an objective approach to gaining knowledge, whereas experience is subjective and built over time.

When a person reflects on an experience, assimilates it, and comprehends it without attachment or guilt, this experience evolves into wisdom. This wisdom can then be shared as a form of service to Life.

An experiment differs from experience significantly.

  • How do I treat myself?

  • How do I talk to myself?

  • What do I say to myself?

  • What do I think about myself?

· Is that what I think, mine?

· Does what I think help me move forward or paralyze me?

  • What do I talk about?

  • What am I doing with my life?

  • Where is it taking me?

In various shades, circumstances, and levels, everyone has life experiences, perhaps not as one might have imagined.

After many failures and successes, I find myself asking: why? Why do I live what I live, and how can I change what I want to change

So, once again, the question brings its answer: EVERYTHING BEGINS IN ME!

Then, I need to treat myself how I wish to be treated, consider what I want to create, and be consistent with my words and actions. Coherence.

I need to prioritize my well-being to have the strength to help those around me who seek my support. But how?

I need to be my true self!

I inquire, investigate, and question myself to reveal the real me.

I was once reminded that the Father, the Universe, the Divine—however you may refer to it—is not deaf!

I always hear your questions, so I ask and patiently await the response. It always arrives.
