Quote by Dan Desmarques

“I thought I could make a narcissist repent, accept responsibility and understand the implications of her behavior, and that's how I wasted years of my life driving myself insane with endless explanations that were disregarded as much as any emotions behind them, because, for the narcissist, without empathy but driven by hate, everything that hurts the ego is an insult. And that's when I realized the narcissist was simply gaslighting me into oblivion.”

“I only need to look at the heart and soul of a human being to know the nature of such individual; I don’t really care about what goes on in the mind, as the mind is usually confused and lost, and without the heart will never find itself. The heart can only find peace when the soul is manifesting itself through it. And the soul has all the keys to the nature of the individual, far much more than what the individual can see when using the mind. And that is why, to the dismay of many, I seem to know them better than they know themselves. I do know them better, because I know their soul, while they only know their mind.”

“I believe that what the vast majority of the masses call life is just fiction. A therapist's work ends up being trying to bring them into nonfiction. Although I feel that many are just replacing a novel by another. Too many people tell me: 'Why do you talk like you know the truth? There is no truth'. It is as if they felt that I'm destroying their inner world by being direct. They feel the need to project a defense mechanism to protect it. Another common phrase is: 'You don't know me better than I know myself'. This one is also interesting. Because it is as if the person was saying: 'You don't know my novel better than I do because I am the author of it.’ Life pretty much follows the same principles — gravity, air, water, fire, weight, hight; all of which is represented in maths, physics, and other sciences. But most people these days consider a personal attack when you make them observe something that may touch their inner world. It's the oversensitivity paradox in which we live today, for people want to feel more alive but are afraid to live at the same time. Allegorically speaking, they need to float like a bubble of steel. And many times they are perfectly fine in discussing others' issues until those issues are projected at them for self-analysis. Quite often, we are not really talking to a human being, but to his alter-ego. There's not much difference between the real self and the alternate version of that self for such person. And how ironic when both the therapist and the patient play the same game from different perspectives. This is why people don't want the truth anymore, but an alternate version of reality where they can merge themselves as if they were merely a chemical solution melting with another. They are too afraid of the truth because they have often been hurt when trying to find it. However, the concept of truth merges with the personality of the individual. And that is why having a personality is now an outdated concept, often falling into the realm of the abstract — Everything is relative, everything is fine, and everyone is everything you can decide for yourself. So why live if life has no meaning? Well, life does have a meaning, but won't be found by running away from it.”

“Humanity seems to be losing the basic elements that make humans human, i.e., empathy, compassion, moral, sense of logic, etc. In this way, anyone who has developed such attributes by moral conduct, religious practice and meditation, has become, by default, superior to the masses. These individuals have also been upgraded by differentiating themselves, for the spiritual world always chooses those who can more easily convey an abstract message transmitted in vibration through the heart.”

“Humanity has always been controlled by two sides and never did its accomplishments been ignored but overseen and manipulated by those in power. The truth, however, is never accepted by the ones who keep on paying the price for the untruths they embrace. In doing so, they keep the most important truths hidden from themselves, for their level of consciousness cannot go beyond their ego — the belief that they have not been massively fooled.”

“Human beings always analyze reality in linear forms due to how the human mind perceives time and sequences, and learning. But, actually, reality is multi-dimensional, and not possible for the human mind to fully grasp. The human mind is like a very old computer that can't really process so much. On the other hand, it is also a mystery how the spirit is superior to the mind, for it is as if the mind, in itself, was a trap. Whenever you think of yourself as a product of your mind, you have automatically subverted the potential of your own existence.”

“How much is your life worth? If you have low self-esteem, your life is cheap and everything related to improving it sounds expensive. Even one book sounds expensive to a very poor soul that prefers to spend money on alcohol, cigars and other addictions. It is only when you have self-worth that you have the determination and will to pay any price for your spiritual freedom and persist along any path that will take you there.”

“How much can you explore, before you forget the need for an answer? How many pleasures can you embrace, before your questions get neglected? Just imagine all the possibilities, because whatsoever you imagine, is most likely a possibility. Our imagination is not detached from reality, even if the reality of earth may not show it. The more you embrace your imagination, the less your questions make sense. Because, just like light and darkness, both, the questions emerging from material experience and the pleasure of imagining infinite possibilities, can’t coexist.”
