“There are numerous other tools companies don’t know how to use or haven’t mastered. And I am not talking about “social media” as a tool. Social media is a distribution tool. I’m talking about design, color, imagery, typography, style and form (as in packaging).”

“Great brands have wonderful things to convey compared to lousy brands. When lousy brands say “great service,” it means something very different than when a great brand utters the same words.”

“Remember how shocked I was to discover Amazon had over 8,000 branding books? Well this I know: when a specific discipline has that many opinions on one subject, something fundamental is always missing. Always. The omitted fundamental? A definition and a universal reason for branding. And it came down to four words:”

“Fact: there are three phases every customer goes through with your brand. Most companies use only the first two of these (66%), when in fact there are actually three: the phase that starts before they buy, the phase that occurs during the sale (or during the use of your product or service) and the last (most overlooked) phase occurring after the sale.”

“A flame can create many shadows and each one will depend on the flame to survive. However, the flame without its shadows loses its meaning, for to enlighten is to create shadows. We then confuse the meaning for its creation, and attach ourselves to the shadows we create, when in fact we should pay attention to the flame creating them. For the flame can create many shadows but the shadows can only be that which the flame allows them to be. There can be many shadows created by a flame but a shadow can only be a shadow.”

“A personality is dynamic. You will have many pulls and pushes, and impulses, driving you towards different elements in your life and forcing you to make choices during your existence on Earth. Some choices will be more related to your need to belong, others with your need for financial security and some others related to sexual impulses. But only the spiritual impulse can make you successful and happy. How to recognize it? Well, that is, quite simply, the impulse to make connections that last, changes that change you in return and as much as you should change in the right direction, and above all, it is found in the inner impulse towards the recognition of love. The consequences of refusing this spiritual dynamic are found in disappointment, loneliness, despair and a whole wasted lifetime that can't be recovered and opportunities that will never be seen again. As you grow older, and your timing on Earth gets shorter, only an increased sense of spiritual self can help you recover whatsoever seemed lost in a miraculous way.”

“After many years of mind programming ourselves with social beliefs, we end up accepting destiny and becoming what others expect us to be, even though we're unhappy about it. We then come to the realization that self-determinism can only be a choice for those who have self-awareness.”

“Let’s face it. There are good people and bad people everywhere. Illiteracy, poor education, wars, greed , corruption and similar factors were responsible for the problems in both India and Pakistan. Religious fanatics benefited from these factors and developed formidable socio-political strongholds in both countries.”

“All the sounds, words, emotions and memories of previous experiences cannot prepare us enough for the encounters with the unexpected, challenging our values, preconceptions and beliefs. It is then that one is either rewarded for his faith or punished for the lack of it. The ultimate test, however, emerges in the form of what one desires the most hidden beneath the layer of what is simultaneously feared. No one knows the outcome of this invisible battle until its very end. It is when the heart is finally offered to that confrontation that one faces the last gate of his own mortal life, and in doing so, is led to either an immediate rebirth or a slow death.”

“Although many religions have historically been presented as true, the human tendency to resist change has crystallized such groups in thought-forms that also resist change. And that is why even the most supreme religions tend to self-destruct in the hands of the most dedicated followers.”

“Anyone who is proud of his nation, family or job, has already failed in life. Among these, the most admirable personalities pass by, looking at this big garbage of delusional validation, among insane lunatics looking for gold in it, completely unseen, many times while being disrespected. The few that are worthy of respect get it the least. And admiration goes only to the biggest garbage collectors. Insanity is the mainstream on Earth.”

“As much as I would love to take you to where I am at the speed of lightning, you are not ready. Because of that, your fears will transform my life into a hell, and your ignorance will attack me and give me much suffering. And this is why I ask you to read my books. But if you choose not to read them, I cannot do anything for you, as the books prepare you for the journey you may never be ready to take. This journey may seem slow at first and for a long period of time, but only because you are heavy in ignorance and fears. They must disintegrate with wisdom rooted in Truth.”

“As the future is built in the present, and this future is always being shaped and transformed by the present, any imagined or foreseen future is nothing but tomorrow's present. In this sense, it is more important how you observe your world today than what you will do tomorrow. The best decisions are always those which escape the imagination, do not correspond to the plans of the mind, but make perfect sense in a spiritual and emotional context.”

“As the physical body becomes less dense, there is an increasing sensibility and awareness to the subtle elements of the ether which were once unknown to the perceptive senses. The being then becomes knowledgeable of things that to others are not yet part of their reality. This new elevated state leads him to be seen by those others as crazy and out of touch with common sense. For the one who reaches such stage, however, there is an overwhelming sensation of lone wonder, where beauty is found in nothing but an empty garden of extraordinary flowers with different fragrances and colors. To this individual, the world has ceased to exist in its meanings for it is a world of brute ignorance and dark unconsciousness, guided by self-deceptive impulses. He is like a traveler in time stuck in the past. He has evolved but cannot escape the time-line in which he is in. He is blessed while led to think by fools that he is cursed. And the only thing he needs to do, in order to close the gap between his new self and the physical world, consists in looking inwards and appreciate the decadence around him from the perspective of the Observer. Once he can do that, he can be one with the Great Architect and start thinking like a god. In that precise moment, he is freed from any time-line and all the secrets are revealed unto him. His soul becomes boundless and his personality as fluid as water. He can be anything with a burning fire, and nothing like air, at the exact same time; he can love everyone like fertile soil for growth, and no one, as if he was just air; he can be everywhere and nowhere, like darkness, but also attach and detach at will, like light. And he can also have the power to unroot himself from any will produced by any thought that he might or not have chosen to have.”
