The Inner Frontier
Essays exploring one of the perspectives of our real identity - Now in English!
In these first days of the new year, I'm officially starting the challenge I've set myself, to create some essays as the basis for a book and also as a guide for my talks and workshops on the state of flow and Consciousness.
This material will be published here as it is created, so without a set regularity and interspersed with my other articles and videos that also feed my podcast. As a curiosity, all the initial writings come from a typewriter, an analog instrument that guarantees the reduction of distractions, the construction and maintenance of focus and the very present possibility of activating the state of flow, resulting in writing that is more intuitive than mentalized. The subsequent editing and proofreading is done digitally.
Here's an invitation to explore together the concept that the separation we imagine exists between the "I" and the world is like a mirage, a mere illusion, a self-deception to which we are conditioned from birth.
INTRODUCTION
The feeling of relief was indescribable, mixed with a deep perplexity that filled the whole room. ‘Damn, that explains everything,’ I mutter into the silence of the small office - actually a wardrobe adapted to be my personal refuge. Or at least it explains a large part of what I've been trying to understand since the end of my childhood.
What now? The question echoes as I circle restlessly around the stool, alone with this revelation. No-one at home. No-one to share it with. But who could really understand?
What had happened transcends words. It hadn't exactly been a vision, but a glimpse - a glimpse as brief as it was eternal, something that etched itself into my consciousness with a clarity that defies the ephemeral nature of memory itself.
It was like looking at my own reflection in a shop window and simultaneously seeing through it - but the reflection wasn't just an image, it was the very nature of consciousness revealing itself.
I laugh softly as I realise the naked, pure simplicity of that experience. The instructions on my headset echoed:
‘Drop everything before entering. Your history, your name, your age, your knowledge, your profession, your relationships, your parenthood, your plans, your imagined future. Empty yourself completely. Leave everything behind.
Come in.
What's left? Who is watching? What is perceived when you enter this space without identification, without the weight of a story or a character? What or who perceives? What remains when your mind isn't trying to understand or solve something?’
And then it happened: the perspective changed radically. No longer limited to the bodily senses, consciousness expanded as if observing everything from an impossible point, simultaneously inside and outside, above and everywhere. The physical body dissolved into an infinite vastness bathed in a soft light.
There was no longer a separate observer - only a conscious presence that embraced everything in a complete, total vision. Separation proved to be illusory: there was no longer an ‘I’ observing ‘something’, just the self-aware totality.
I realised a truth as obvious as it was profound: there is no boundary, no frontier between the observer and the observed. There never was.
They are one and the same.
Thanks for reading!
I keep everything here free and easy to access, no strings attached. If you find it useful, the best way to support it is by restacking or recommending and sharing the post - it makes a big difference. Enjoy and may the flow be with you!
