Thank you 🔥😊 Merry Christmas to you too!

Thank you so much my friend! 🔥❤️

Thanks 🙏 what a beautiful Christmas present to read such a lovely message.

I‘m glad you enjoy them 😊

Hey bro, can you explain a bit more detailed what you mean? I‘m not quite sure I understand your request.

🤙

I'm happy you like it and thanks. 😊❤️

Hey Sam, thanks for your message. I totally feel you! It seems like we never get to rest in life and take a break, constantly managing and doing stuff. After all, that's what we've been taught to do-that life is not now, but in some future that will never come. The struggle is very real and relatable, and I'm happy to hear that you are facing it head-on as opposed to escaping from it. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the struggle is the only thing that leads us to "liberation" and inner peace. To look it straight in the eyes and see that it is just a phantom, conjured up by a rift in our mind caused by the so-called education we received as children. As an artist, do you feel like you're in touch with the authentic version of you when you're creating? The unconditioned? I’ve always felt that this was my anchor to sanity. Thanks again for sharing. And yes, it does help. 😊 We grow together in peace! ❤️

Thanks man :) I'm happy that you like my style. I really prefer traditional pencils, feels more versatile to me, especially when it comes to shading.

It truly is baffling. And I'm happy that you found me here :) The more we let life be what it is, the more awesome the experiencing it becomes. Peace ❤️

🙏❤️🔥

Thank you ❤️

I feel the same-it’s a tough one, but so powerful. ❤️

❤️🙏

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy the video showed up in your feed. Wishing you all the best, Antonio! ❤

Let's do it.❤

Awesome Marvo. That's a great reminder. Peace ❤

Hey Marvo, First of all, I’m really grateful for your message, and I deeply appreciate you sharing your story. I also think Buddhism (especially Zen Buddhism) is particularly profound when it comes to waking up from the illusion of the “I.” Let me tell you this: Don’t try to awaken. Don’t force yourself to achieve anything. Don’t resist your anxiety or fears. Simply watch. Observe them as you would watch a flock of birds flying past in the sky-just take note. I know this can be challenging. The “ego” is that which wants to force, achieve, or know-all essentially attempts to stay in control. To observe means to become aware of the activity of your mind and no longer engage with it. It means seeing that you are not your thoughts but the one who observes them. Anxiety and the fear of failure often stem from how you were brought up, shaped by inner voices of doubt and negativity, by trying to please others or live up to their expectations. That self-image is what you’re living through now. Your only “job” is to see it for what it is. Behind all that noise is the real you. It took me a long time to see this myself-a long process of peeling back layers of conditioning. Patience is key. Don’t be hard on yourself. Just watch, and you will get there. Expect no miracles or specific states to happen. Just become fully aware of your inner world. Everything else will fall into place. When? Nobody knows, and that’s not your concern. No pressure, my friend. Be kind to yourself. You are already enlightened. There’s just a storm passing through, temporarily clouding your inner vision. ❤

@ thank you so much Antonio ❤️. Thank you for taking the time to respond and to reply so thoughtfully. I was crying while reading this. You are very kind. I think I am very lucky to have found your videos and to get your response. Yes it’s hard just to observe. I didn’t realise that trying to awaken is driven by my anxiety as well. I realise I lack what you say here and in another of your videos - patience and acceptance and self love. Words I have heard many times before but have never really understood they apply to how I treat myself not just others. I will keep practicing just to observe and think about what you have written. Deeply I thank you 🙏

No worries my friend. ☺️ We‘re not alone on this journey. Since you mentioned that you’re exploring Buddhism, I really recommend that you check out Zen Mind, Beginner‘s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki. It‘s so simple and beautifully written and it really helped me a lot in my life. All the best to you! ❤️

@ thank you Antonio for the recommendation I will check it out! I got into Buddhism from a book called “When Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron a Buddhist nun - that book helped me a lot with my anxieties and started my interest in Buddhism. Thank you again 😊

Hey Lucy, so happy for your comment and I‘m even happier to hear that you are now reconnecting with your true self. And well said; balance indeed is key and we can maintain balance if we truly look into ourselves and at what we‘ve been holding onto. Life is above all a wonderful experience that we get to witness. We can transcend our perceived limitations. Let‘s drop all the baggage and start living this absolutely beautiful dream. Thanks for sharing your message.❤️🙂

❤️🔥🙏

Poison the right word for what comparison is, yes. And enjoyment too is very important. Otherwise why do anything at all, Right?Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Hey Homer 😉, Thanks so much! First of all, I absolutely love Old School Death & Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal-mostly from the 80s to late 90s. When I’m at work, I tend to go for Drone and Ambient works, like Eliane Radigue, Norman Westberg (Swans), or minimal compositions by artists like Morton Feldman. I’m also a huge admirer of Prog-Rock in all its forms (Zeuhl, Kraut, etc.). Lately, I’ve been listening to King Crimson, Magma, Eskaton, Cluster, Popol Vuh, and Ashra (Manuel Göttsching). What about you? I’m always open to suggestions and love discovering new music!

Thank you so much 😊
