  Are We Living Twice? The Strange Dance of Mind, Brain, and Soul Have you ever felt like your thoughts live somewhere far beyond your skull? Like your mind is perched just above your body, watching you live — almost as an observer? That’s no idle daydream. It’s a doorway into one of the most spellbinding mysteries of existence: the riddle of where “you” truly reside. When the brain and mind don’t share an address Neuroscience tells us the brain is a vast, electrified network of neurons. But where is the mind? Is it merely a byproduct of those neurons — or does it float somewhere else entirely? Consider this: if the mind — your seat of intention, will, awareness — gives the instructions, but the brain is only the machinery that carries them out, then what happens if the mind stops sending signals? The body shuts down, collapses into a vegetative state. It’s like a high-tech drone waiting for a remote pilot who’s gone silent. Yet countless near-death and out-of-body experie...

  El narcisismo desenredado: ¿estamos usando etiquetas para evitar mirar hacia adentro? ¿Alguna vez has sentido que el término “narcisista” se ha vuelto tan común como el pan con mantequilla? Hoy parece que cualquiera que no cumpla con nuestras expectativas emocionales termina con esa etiqueta. Pero, ¿qué pasa si te digo que detrás de este diagnóstico popular hay una peligrosa trampa que podría estar distorsionando tu realidad y destruyendo tus relaciones más valiosas? Un espejo roto: cuando la etiqueta reemplaza la verdad Imagina pararte frente a un espejo roto. Cada fragmento refleja una versión distorsionada de ti mismo. Eso es lo que ocurre cuando usamos el término “narcisista” a la ligera: en lugar de ver a la persona completa, sólo vemos fragmentos filtrados por miedo, dolor o proyecciones no resueltas. Clifford Illis, en Narcisista Desenredado , nos lanza una verdad cruda: “Cuando alguien dice: ‘Eres un narcisista’, a menudo solo está diciendo: ‘Me estás lastimando’,...

 💔 “¿Moriría por mis hijos?” — ¿Pero tú no te quedarás por ellos? Lanzamos promesas como “Daría mi vida por mis hijos” como si no costaran nada. Pero cuando llegan las tormentas del matrimonio, muchos se alejan, dejando a sus hijos solos para soportar las consecuencias emocionales. Así que aquí está la gran pregunta: Si darías tu vida por tus hijos, ¿por qué no les das tu comodidad? ¿Tu ego? ¿Tu conveniencia? 🧠¿El matrimonio es una zona de guerra? Entonces actúa como un soldado, no como un fugitivo Seamos realistas: la mayoría de los matrimonios no se desmoronan por una traición apocalíptica. Se erosionaron lentamente: por falta de comunicación, expectativas incumplidas y… sí, envidia en las redes sociales. Y esto es lo que la mayoría de la gente no sabe: tu mente siempre justificará una vía de escape. Es psicología básica: buscamos la paz interior externalizando la culpa.

Dying for your kids is easy. Living right for them every single day? That’s the real sacrifice. 💔 “I’d Die for My Kids” — But You Won’t Stay for Them? We toss around promises like “I’d give my life for my children” as if they cost nothing. But when the storms of marriage roll in, many walk away, leaving their children to weather the emotional fallout on their own. So here's the big question: If you'd give your life for your children, why won’t you give your comfort ? Your ego? Your convenience? 🧠 Marriage Is a Warzone? Then Act Like a Soldier, Not a Runaway Let’s be real: most marriages don't fall apart because of some apocalyptic betrayal. They erode slowly through miscommunication, unmet expectations, and… yep, social media envy. And here’s what most people don't know: your mind will always justify an escape route. It’s basic psychology — we seek internal peace by externalizing blame. “Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate...

Ever notice how the biggest shifts in your life didn’t start with a spreadsheet — but a gut punch? It wasn’t logic that made you walk out, speak up, or finally chase the dream. It was emotion, raw and loud, saying: “Move.” Your feelings aren’t messy inconveniences. They’re rocket fuel. This isn’t another “mind over matter” pep talk — it’s the truth about how your emotions are secretly steering every pivot, passion, and revolution you’ll ever have. 💥When Emotions Spark Revolutions: How Feelings Fuel Real Change Ever had a moment where a gut feeling pushed you to quit a job, start a project, or finally speak up? That wasn’t just instinct—it was emotion doing what it does best: moving you . Emotions, often treated like unruly guests in the house of logic, are actually the life force behind our biggest transformations. Think of emotions as the weather of the soul. Sunny skies of joy motivate us, while storms of anger or fear push us to seek shelter—or build stronger foundations. This b...
