“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands over our eyes.”

 —Frederic W. H. Myers

 Maybe you’re not aware, but at this exact moment, you are living a default life. The repetitive acceptance and rejection of others’ ideas, beliefs, behaviors, and so on have set your resonance on default, just like in a computer program. The problem here is that, on default, we’ll keep running in circles and repeating the same...

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and...

In addition to the pandemic and all the uncertainty we’ve had to live in regard to our health and economy, now we also have to deal with lack of leadership! I don’t know if the same thing happens to you, but the fights between members of the Senate, the continuous judgment and polarization of the leaders of the political parties, the aggressiveness and violence throughout our streets, and social media networks for social injustice make me question our current models of...

Some 7.8 billion people inhabit our planet. And by the time you read these lines, there will be more.

Separation, in the form of inequality and discrimination, has come to the fore of our conversations around the world. The truth is that the world is changing right in front of our eyes and irremediably affecting not only the reality around us but also that of the...

“We can not expect things to change if we keep doing the same things.” —Albert Einstein

A world pandemic, civil movements, an economic crisis—it’s impossible to deny that the world as we knew it is certainly changing. This could be, for many, the most challenging time in their lifetimes. Questions such as how do we handle the global pandemic, what we should we do about the economic crisis, and how can we change systemic racism are at the top of our minds...

According to the US Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, nearly a quarter of American children live in father-absent homes. Research shows that, when a child is raised in a father-absent home, he or she can be affected in a number of ways. The child is two times more likely to drop out of school; has a four times greater risk of living in poverty; and is more likely to have behavioral problems, experience abuse and neglect, abuse drugs and alcohol, suffer obesity, and commit crime....
