The Puzzle of the Mind: Finding Stillness in the Noise of the Self

There comes a quiet moment — often private, almost unnoticed — when we stop questioning the world and begin to question the very eye that sees it. The Puzzled Mind meets that moment. This book is not a teaching, a system, or a method. It does not offer a new belief to replace the old. It is a subtle, radical unraveling — an invitation to look deeply at the architecture of the self: its memories, hopes, conflicts, and desires — and to begin noticing what is not, in order to recognize what is. The third part of the trilogy, following The Train of Thought and Conversations with Nature, turns fully toward the root of inner conflict. By exploring the illusions of striving and the quiet pain beneath hope, we start to see how our attachment to the self creates division — within, and therefore without. Here, awareness becomes the path. Not to become someone better, but to uncover the false. Not to solve life, but to witness it. Not to control the mind, but to see through it. This is a book to be read slowly. Honestly. Without goal. It does not promise peace. It reveals what keeps peace away. Take a breath. Let go of expectation. The puzzle is not something to solve. It is something to see through. And when all that is not falls away, what remains is what is. Herein we can find all the questions that we need to ask ourselves, if we're expecting to transcend our inner pains; we could then be able to pass from the dog that is chasing its tail, to beginning feeling alive, like the flower that is opening herself up to the morning sun. By answering ourselves the proposed questions in this writing, we become able of turning our own wheel of existence around, and by doing so, we are evolving into a better version of ourselves. So, let's enjoy the ride and find out a few of the pieces we were missing out, in order to get more insight in this complicated Puzzle of the Mind.
