It is truly a shame β and deeply saddening β to see so many people squander their lives judging the faults of others, only to realize the stupidity of it all on their deathbed, as they come to see how grotesquely and foolishly theyβve wasted their own lives.

An In-Depth Exploration of His Intellectual and Philosophical Vision.

Why do we fixate on the external world, whenβlike in quantum physicsβobservation itself shapes reality? The true illusion may be believing the 'outside' is more real than the mind that perceives it. I think I know why: few are willing to face themselvesβtheir own abyss, as Nietzsche put it...
Religious ideologies, when aligned with power, nationalism, or fear of difference, have often been used to justify racial hierarchy, exclusion, and violence. Christianity, like any belief system, can be interpreted in ways that reinforce existing power structures.
There are two kinds of fools in the world: the one who stumbles blindly into error, and the one who, believing himself wiser, rushes to expose the first. Both reveal something about the nature of ignoranceβone by action, the other by judgment.
Grateful it found a mirror in your mind Sirβthank you for seeing it so clearly.
For those earnest souls who, in all sincerity, seek after God.
β from my book Metanoia (2022)
As the world slowly loses its soul, we Maltese recall an old saying: "Kemm konna aΔ§jar meta konna agΔ§ar" β "How much better we were when we were worse."
There was richness in our simple life, and now, as Oscar Wilde rightly said, βPeople know the price of everything and the value of nothing.β
All types of social media are specifically designed to keep you hooked in your solipsistic, egoic mind. You believe that what you believe is always right, and that those who donβt think like you are always wrongβdonβt you?
β¦There has never been a greater religion than this.
When you point a finger at the 'world', three fingers point back at youβbut you're too unaware to realize it. You ignorant human being - it is all in your mind...
I donβt care much for politics, but if thereβs any in my books, itβs this: to protect the fragility of your inner life in an age of noise; to defend the poetic within you against the algorithmic; and to insistβgently but firmlyβthat your spirit still matters.
Throughout history, about 80% of humanity has operated within the Beta mental frequency 12β30 Hz, associated with the realm of the 'animal soul.' At this level, individuals are more susceptible to violence, anger, and inhumane behavior. Resisting this world is often like fighting a losing battle.
American psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg (1927β1987) noted that children often learn to bend rules for personal gain. So donβt be quick to judge those in powerβyou might do the same. As Schopenhauer suggested, the truth is that 'right' and 'wrong' often reflect oneβs will to power.
The mind is a web of identifications. Remove them, and what remains is not nothing, but ΕΕ«nyatΔβthe no-thing from which all arises. In this state, labels like Republican or Democrat, Socialist or Liberal fall away. If that seems impossible, it's because your egoic mind still holds you trapped.
In quantum terms, to observe is to alter and to touch one part is to affect the whole. Likewise, when you try to fix the world without knowing yourself, you distort both β because you and the world are not separate. Among a million, perhaps only three or four truly know themselves. GnΕthi Seauton...
The universe is not outside youβit unfolds within. What you perceive as reality is shaped by your own egoic structure, a projection of the mind. All that you seek, you already are. Few will understand this...

Iβve noticed that the more inhumane conflicts rage across the world, the more we seem to turn away from acknowledging the very similar battles within ourselves. It is as though external chaos offers a kind of moral distraction, allowing us to project our inner unrest onto the world stage.

My Love for Philosophy and Artβ¦
(Oil on Canvas - Detail)
βPhilosophy begins in wonder...β - Plato
βPower is nothing but fear in disguise. Those who seek power do so because they are afraid β afraid of their own insignificance, afraid of losing control, afraid of facing the truth about themselves.β
- 'The Heirs of the Lost Legacy - A Modern Odyssey in a Forgotten Past' (2025).
