Critical reformation leads people to free themselves from conditioning and become awake. May ’14.
• “Illusory states of mind». By Xavier Guix (http://www.xavierguix.com/quien-soy). Illusory states of mind are mental creations with which we identify. We believe them because they come wrapped in thoughts, but above all feelings. We feel everything.  The fact that we feel everything first-hand generates the idea ownership, a self that acts as receiver and interpreter of many emotions. All these things are happening to someone who, therefore, exists. And since he exists, he thinks. And since he thinks, he acts. And once he acts, he believes what he acts — he gets involve to the point that he becomes what he acts. But it has all been a game in his mind. Only that? It all ends there?  June ’14
• “Regarding shadows and what we reject bout ourselves”. By Cris Bolívar. Knowing and accepting oneself is not an easy task. We often believe to be what our ego says we should be, rejecting and leaving our true potential in the shadows (by exerting judgement). Transcending judgement and embracing the shadow is the key to our journey of personal transformation to our essential being. July ’14.

• «The Kabbalah and the journey to essential being». By Mario Saban (writer, essayist, researcher and teacher. http://www.mariosaban.com/autor-profesor-de-kabbalah). The Kabbalah leads us to self-knowledge, learning in which everyone can find their strengths and dark spots, through the ten dimensions of the Tree of Life, to a greater understanding of the reality around us and our condition as human beings. October ’14
• «From a mechanistic to a systemic outlook». By Cris Bolívar. Our Western worldview often sees the world and its events mechanistically, from a rational mental framework where cause-effect is linear. However, most phenomena and events are part of complex systems. Having a systemic vision is vital to the evolution of consciousness. November ’14
