How Attachments Grow In Our Lives

In this episode, I explore the five stages of attachment and how they quietly shape our thoughts, behavior, and sense of self. We begin with the real self — the simple awareness that exists before labels and stories. From there, we move into preference, where the mind starts choosing what it likes and dislikes. These preferences gradually harden into identity, the roles and labels we begin to call “me.” As identity deepens, it turns into internalization, where beliefs and ideas feel personal and unquestionable. The final stage is fanaticism — when attachment becomes so strong that we defend ideas as if they are our own survival. This conversation is an invitation to observe these stages within yourself, not to judge them, but to understand how attachment forms and how awareness can loosen its grip. When we see clearly, we gain the freedom to engage with life without being trapped by it.

The Power Of Your Subconscious

In this episode, I speak about the power of the subconscious mind and how it quietly controls every aspect of our experience—from the womb to death. Long before conscious thinking develops, the subconscious is already shaping perception, behavior, belief, fear, desire, and identity. What we call “choice,” “personality,” and even “free will” are largely expressions of deep subconscious programming formed early and reinforced continuously. To ground this discussion, I reference the work and observations of Dr. James Braid, Franz Mesmer, James Esdaile, Dave Elman, and Joseph Murphy, whose experiments and teachings reveal how suggestion, belief, and unconscious conditioning directly affect the body, pain, healing, and experience itself. This is not motivational talk. It is an exploration of how human experience actually operates beneath awareness—and why most people remain controlled by patterns they never consciously chose. Listen with openness, not belief.

How To Use Tantra Sex For Meditation

In this episode of Unmasked by Toltec Wisdom, we explore a rarely spoken truth: sex becomes meditation when relaxation replaces effort. I share a teaching story of the Sufi mystic Nasrudin and his married disciple—a simple, humorous, and profound pointer to what blocks pleasure, depth, and sacred union: tension. Tantra is not technique. It is not performance. It is presence, relaxation, and awareness moving through the body. In this talk, we explore: • Why effort kills pleasure—and awareness • The role of deep relaxation in Tantra and intimacy • How sex becomes meditation when the mind steps aside • Why most people miss ecstasy while chasing it • How Toltec and Sufi wisdom point to the same truth This is not about doing more. It is about allowing. If you’ve ever sensed that intimacy can be a doorway to silence, clarity, and truth—this episode is for you. 📺 Unmasked by Toltec Wisdom 🔔 Subscribe to stay unmasked

What happens when humans forget they are animal.

In this episode, I speak about one simple forgetting that gives birth to countless illusions: the moment humans forget that we are animals. When we separate ourselves from nature, we begin to imagine special identities, spiritual hierarchies, moral superiority, and divine exceptions. From this forgetting arise religion, ego, false meaning, and the endless struggle to be “more” than what we are. Seeing ourselves clearly as animals among animals does not reduce us—it dissolves illusion. It brings humility, clarity, and a return to reality as it is, not as the mind wants it to be. This is not an attack on belief, but an invitation to honesty. An invitation to remember. An invitation to come back to nature. #spirituality #animals

And then what? The story of Diogenes and Alexander the great

In this episode, I share the timeless encounter between Alexander the Great and Diogenes the Cynic — two men who stood on opposite ends of ambition. Alexander had conquered nations; Diogenes had conquered himself. When Alexander told Diogenes, “If I were not Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes,” he was admitting a truth he could never escape: all his victories still could not give him the freedom this homeless philosopher carried in his empty hands. And Diogenes’ reply — “If I were not Diogenes, I would still wish to be Diogenes” — reveals a man so complete within himself that nothing in the world could tempt him. This story exposes the meaninglessness behind most of our pursuits. We chase success, status, wealth, admiration, but when we finally get what we’re running after… and then what? There is always another mountain, another hunger, another emptiness waiting. This video invites you to pause and ask yourself that honest question: “After I achieve what I want… and then what?” If there is no real answer, maybe the pursuit itself is the illusion. #diógenes #minimalism
