  In the house where your sadness is a nuisance and your anger a silence nobody bothers to acknowledge, the currency of belonging is not honesty but performance.  A bright laugh that rang a little too early, a clever remark that landed before the conversation had fully formed, a face that seemed to glow with genuine pleasure at your arrival—these are the tokens that bought you a seat at the table.  The moment you cross the threshold, the walls already know the script you are supposed to follow; they measure you by the sparkle of your entrance, not by the weight of the stories you carry beneath it. The rule is simple: first impressions matters more than the tangled truths that linger in the corridors of your mind.  A reputation, in that environment, is a story told by other people—a montage of snapshots that never quite captured the pauses, the sighs, the moments when the mask slipped.

I don't think I could ever have stood up to all the pressure, psychological and physical, that I had to go through in my life if I didn't have such a powerful tool as the meditation, that helped me to regain my inner balance, over and over again. And in the worst years I found myself to go inside, within myself, to connect with the Light, and recover some sanity, many many times during the day and night. 

The Light has always been my focus. I generally didn't focus on any figure but on the Light. Yes, in the very depth of my inner connection, completely "dissolved" in that celestial Light, spiritual figures did appear. Some were my reference figures, mainly from Hinduism and later from Buddhism. Some others were completely new to me, never heard of them, but their "visit" in my meditation, let me later discover who they were and add them to my personal Olympus. 

No animals ever appeared. 

It was a strong surprise when in my morning meditation, some days ago, I felt the forming of a shape that, from the void on my left became a lion that, as soon it was formed, jumped to my right side and stayed there with me. Remaining with me now: as a new ally!
