A human being is like a beautiful puzzle. The only difference is that a puzzle has a certain number of pieces, and when we put them together, we see the final picture.
A human being consists of infinitely many pieces, levels, and countless images.
The more pieces and levels we discover, the bigger, more diverse, and richer it becomes. The more knowledge and experience we have, the more complete the puzzle becomes, and we can continue to build on it.
We can live on just one level, but we can also expand our horizons, because with every new level we open, we gain another segment of our own existence.

Awareness is infinite
All of this is made possible by awareness. Awareness is infinite and it is a tool with which we can make this world a more beautiful and humane place for ourselves and for the lives of all people.
Everything always begins with each of us, including the decision to embark on an inner journey. It then results in the expansion of our perspectives and flows into all areas of our lives.
The outer puzzle
As children, we are connected to the inner puzzle, but in order to function in society, we learn how to adapt and belong, and we direct all our attention toward the outer puzzle.
That would not be a problem, because it is necessary, if at the same time we continued building the inner one. But due to many circumstances, we neglect the inner one and see only the outer puzzle, which is just one segment of existence.
Because of this, when we feel dissatisfaction, we often try to change and fix the outer one, which is almost impossible, because what is needed is balance, and that balance is achieved when we develop both. When we are balanced, it is easier and more natural for us to move with the currents of life.
To see our inner puzzle again, it is necessary to give it attention and reconnect with it, because when we are disconnected, we always feel that something is missing or that we need something from the outside in order to be whole.
“The problem is that we always look for the missing piece instead of finding a place for the one in our hand.”
Alina Radoi
The inner journey
The decision to embark on an inner journey is entirely ours, and the benefit is that when we achieve balance within ourselves, we can more easily establish it on the outside as well. Awareness of the diversity and richness of our own being motivates us to explore the many possibilities available to us.
