Many people believe that their decisions are completely free and conscious. However, much of what we choose is conditioned by fear, social pressure, ego, trends, and the expectations of others.

This methodology seeks to help young people and adults identify those areas where there is incoherence between what they think, what they feel, and the way they live.


Topics We Analyze

The False Myth of Short-Term Progress

  • Ruthless competitiveness, superficial success, and insignificant goals may be imposed by the market and do not necessarily bring happiness.
  • It is important to know how to combine material goals with spiritual ones.
  • The world can progress better under conditions of balance, without extreme peaks.
  • The hegemony of power never lasts forever and only produces fleeting achievements.

 

The Existential Void Caused by the Lack of a Deeper Meaning in Life

  • It is necessary to organize life from the perspective of greater life goals and to know how to establish priorities.
  • If a person has faith in what is transcendent, they cannot live without orienting themselves toward it.
  • No form of fanaticism is good, and neglecting earthly progress is not advisable either.
  • When life is lived with coherence, higher levels of personal fulfillment become possible.
  • Personal fulfillment is closely connected to happiness.

 

The Fracturing of Consciousness and the Deterioration of Social Empathy

  • We must not allow the market or external impositions to weaken our principles, make us unconscious, or turn our hearts into stone.
  • We must seek alignment between the struggle for our family and ourselves, without neglecting or forgetting that we live in society and that life is also meant for service.
  • We must remain very attentive so that greed does not come to dominate us, turning us into beings without a sense of spiritual transcendence.
  • When we lose our sense of mercy and social empathy, we may be turning into monsters, far from what it truly means to be human.
  • We must understand that much evil, pain, and harm can be caused through negligence and omission.

 

The Great Mistake of Believing That Excessive Technology Will Make Us More Connected

  • The excessive and improper use of social media can destroy families, good friendships, and even loving relationships.
  • The misuse of technology can even lead people away from themselves.
  • The lack of periods for reflection, together with constant contact with what is merely mechanical, can surely lead to a loss of awareness of our inner being and the desires of our soul.
  • Automation can also lead to a lack of critical thinking, turning us into obedient servants of guidelines imposed by others.
  • If we do not correct certain current trends, we may face increasingly complex and difficult social scenarios.
  • We seek to help people think better and live with greater coherence.
