The Train of Thought is a concise book that aims to explore and articulate the workings of our thinking process. By understanding our own thought patterns, we gain the ability to observe our mind from a detached perspective. This allows us to distinguish between our thoughts and our true essence, enabling us to reconnect with our inner self—the unchanging part within us that holds answers to our existential questions.


This book does not endorse specific beliefs or offer prescriptive teachings. Instead, it explores common thinking patterns that apply to all of us to some extent. It delves into the thoughts we have about our bodies, our environment, and ourselves. Through this exploration, we are encouraged to reflect on how our thinking influences our perception of reality and consequently shapes our behavior. By developing a heightened awareness of our internal states, we learn to align our actions accordingly. We gain the ability to differentiate between the character that lives our life and the presence that creates that character.


Furthermore, this book explores the potential for finding joy in the present moment. It nurtures our sensitivity towards both our own pain and the suffering of others, allowing us to approach it with love and compassion. It offers insights on contemplation of our lives without assigning specific labels. Through the pages of this concise publication, we discover the essence of letting go and what it truly entails.

When I was young, I used to observe and study the behaviors of others in my own unique ways. I remember one day I created a trap to prevent my brother from entering my room in the mornings to wake me up for school. 

* The Trap
I rigged a trap by tying a long rope to a lamp, extending all the way to the door of my room. The lamp was positioned about 1 meter above my bed and 2 meters away from the door. I jammed the end of the rope between the door and the wall so that when the door opened, the rope would be released!

On the lamp, there were three medals coiled along the rope. These medals were resting on top of an aluminum jar with a pulley, ready to be triggered by the vibrations of the rope. The jar pulley was attached to a dental floss covered in wax, which, with the fluttering of the medals, would cause the jar to slide down the thread at a great speed. The jar would travel all the way from the lamp above my head to the closet handle in front of my bed. Between the closet handle and the dental floss, there was a heavy training ball that would fall when the jar slid. This ball was connected to a string that, once triggered, would pull the trigger of a toy harpoon. The harpoon was attached to my bed, pointing a dart towards the upper part of my door. In practice, when the door was opened, the dart would be released about 2 seconds later, giving my brother enough time to reconsider entering.. But don’t worry, my brother is okay! ;)

As I grew up, I distanced myself from who I used to be, until one day I found myself in a Rehabilitation Centre in South America when I was 17. Fortunately, this place was magical! It was located far away from the city, surrounded only by nature. It was the perfect opportunity for me to retreat from my thoughts and remember who I am.

However, it wasn’t until many years of pain and reflection that I started seeing similarities in differences and a universal truth in every choice. That’s when my life started all over again! It was then that I realized that the mind is like smoke that obscures the direction, and behind it all? It’s me, making every choice!
