This book is a guide to inner stillness, where the ego’s distractions are revealed, making way for pure presence.
It is for those beginning to awaken from the deep sleep of identification with forms, and for those who feel an increasing longing to discover the immortal essence within— the boundless being residing in the body yet often constrained by conditioning and limiting beliefs.
The insights shared within these pages can accelerate this awakening, offering glimpses into the unknown and guiding you toward the eternal, infinite Consciousness that dwells within.
Here, you will find keys to deepen your insight.
With a mind always craving information, these keys cannot be fully understood unless the mind is quiet. True understanding arises only in stillness. There is no need to apply these keys based on the mind’s expectations, no need to learn or “practice” them.

This book serves as a guide to inner stillness, where the ego’s games are exposed, and pure presence takes their place
Daniel, feeling empty and seeking spiritual growth, encounters Elias, an old man who reveals the ego’s nature of playing games. Elias teaches Daniel to recognize and dismantle these games, starting with the “Guilty Ego Game,” which traps individuals in regret and self-recrimination. Through their meetings, Daniel begins to understand the ego’s manipulations and finds hope in breaking free from its control.
Guided by Elias, learns to recognize and counteract the ego’s games, including the “You Are Worthless” game, the “I Want More” game, and the “Becoming Someone” game. By observing these games and understanding their nature, Daniel gains a deeper sense of self-awareness and freedom from the mind’s illusions. Ultimately, Daniel realizes he doesn’t need to become someone else; he is already enough.

* When you're unable to feel gratitude * Struggling with the present moment * Why is gratitude worth feeling? * Opening up to Life *
* Why do we seek happiness in the future? * Happiness is not outside of us * Embracing the present moment *
Who wouldn't want to be happy? The unclouded peace and tranquillity, the ecstasy of happiness, when everything seems to be shining, our hearts are singing, we are in love with the whole world. But most of the time we don't have that. We yearn for happiness; we thirst for it and we think of it as a state to be achieved somewhere in the future. "I will be happy when I manage to achieve this or that dream". "I will be happy when I am rich and have no financial problems". "If everyone loves me according to my expectations, I will be happy" - these are the goals that stand in the way of happiness.
You set yourself a goal and think: "When I reach that goal, I will be completely happy". You strive, you push, you do your best to achieve it; and when you finally arrive, after a lot of painful, soul-destroying suffering, you finally reach the goal, you are happy for a short while: "I have succeeded! I have done it at last! I have reached it".
* Does selfless love really exist? * The conditional love of the willful little "I" * The love that wants to pour out *
Oh, the love..
Admiration, adoration, like, love... are all manifestations and aspects of love. Abstinence, alienation, hatred, loathing... each a manifestation of inhibited love. Are we really living the miracle of love, or are we just parroting this fine-sounding concept?
The mother, when she gives birth to her child, falls in love with her foetus: for flesh is flesh, blood is blood, and then the child comes off the tree, roots itself in life, and the mother is unable to let go of her child. And so it is that the mature adult is dependent on the 'loving' chimpiness of his mother. As teenagers, when our emotions flare up, our sexual desires choose an attractive creature and lie that we are in love, when all that happens is that we have an unquenchable desire for sexuality. Poets, painters, sculptors, artists of all kinds have been inspired by love; beautiful, inspiring works have been created... but are they really about true, unconditional love or about the clinging, or even the chimping, of the selfish 'I'?
* The controlling self * The principle of least effort * Avoid obstacles in your way * Trust the flow of life *
There are days when everything works so perfectly: things are going well, success follows success, you're on friendly terms with everyone, you're happy and joyful, surrounded by love - it's as if the whole Universe is supporting you. At other times, trouble comes in droves, unexpectedly unpleasant events happen, a series of failures, losses, not being understood, even unfriendly - as if the whole Universe is conspiring against you.
The little "I" in us (the Ego) loves to be in complete control of every aspect of life, when exactly what we want happens. When life supports your ideas, your desires, you are content - you feel master of Life. But when things don't go according to your expectations, you feel you have to be more in control, stronger, more persistent, more resistant to what happens.
* Why carry the stories of the past with you? * Every moment is a brand-new moment *
Do you occasionally wake up feeling irritable and annoyed, spending the entire day in a grumpy mood, even at the slightest provocation? Your whole day is a mess, nothing seems to go right, and it seems like you're being chased by misfortune. You'll notice: you carry the stories of the past with you.
Two monks on their way to a monastery come to a riverbank where they meet a beautiful woman. The water level is very high, and she is afraid to cross the river. One of the monks takes pity on the woman and carries her across the river. They say goodbye to the woman and continue their journey. However, the other monk, after a while, could not contain his irritation, burst out and berated his companion for hours:
- You forgot our monastic vows! How dare you touch that woman? You have dishonoured our religion and our faith! - he growled loudly.
The scolded monk listened patiently to his companion, until suddenly he spoke softly:
- Brother, I took that woman across the river and put her down. Are you still carrying her?
