I was watching Once Upon a Time… Life again, what I grew up knowing in Italian as Il Corpo Umano, and it brought me back to one of the clearest examples of what proper childhood investment can look like. My dad did not only feed my passions. He prioritised the passions that were actually nourishing to my mind, my soul, and my continuity. I wanted the football albums too, the Calciatori Panini, and of course I found my little ways to sneak toward them, but my dad understood where the money needed to go. He would rather invest in the DVDs, the packs, the pieces, the things that helped me understand the body, life, systems, function, movement, and the intelligence of what carries us every day. That is parenting. Not simply giving the child what they want, but recognising what the child’s curiosity is trying to become and feeding the part that will still matter years later. That is why, to me, he was not just a good dad. He was dad of the century. A gangster in parenting. The kind of man who should have written a book, because he understood something many adults still miss: children do not only need entertainment. They need investment into the parts of themselves that can mature into understanding.

Watching the series now as an adult is fascinating because the educational value is still there. The cartoon made the body accessible. It turned cells, organs, blood, digestion, immune response, and biological systems into something a child could see, follow, and remember. That is powerful. But with my adult eyes, I also see something else: even when adults build something good for children, they often project adult limitations into it. The cells complain about their jobs. The characters carry adult attitudes toward work, duty, irritation, and frustration. The body gets represented through the emotional programming of the society that made the cartoon. That is the lesson. Even when humanity builds great things, we often contaminate the purity of the thing with the limitations of our own living. We create educational material, but then we project our unresolved relationship with work, responsibility, function, and service into the child’s field. Fortunately, as a child, I was more fascinated by how the body worked than by the language of complaint, but not every child has the same filter, the same parental guidance, or the same environment helping them digest what they consume.

That word is important: digest. The second episode I watched was about digestion, and the moment it started by saying food is raw material and the first bite begins the digestive process, something clicked immediately. Content is raw material too. Any content we consume is raw material. Our body digests food for the body, but our mind has to digest what our eyes, ears, emotions, and experiences consume. We act as though watching, scrolling, listening, absorbing, and reacting are passive activities, but they are not. Everything that enters us must be processed somewhere. If the mind does not digest it consciously, the emotional body stores the residue. What we call triggers are often undigested energies meeting similar energies again. Shame keeps recreating shame-based circumstances because the source was never healed. Fear keeps finding fear. Insecurity keeps finding mirrors. The mind keeps bringing the same material back to the table because something in the system still needs alchemy, language, perspective, correction, or release.

That is where so much of humanity is failing itself. We consume more than ever, but we digest less than ever. We scroll through war, beauty, sex, death, comedy, trauma, politics, gossip, wealth, poverty, performance, pain, educational content, spiritual content, business content, and personal content in the same sitting, then wonder why the mind feels noisy and the body feels heavy. The body knows how to digest because it was built with systems for it. The mind has to be trained. People need to learn how to ask: what did I just consume? What part of it belongs in me? What part of it needs reflection? What part needs to be discarded? What part needs more information? What part needs emotional processing? What part is raw material for creation? What part is programming? What part is residue from someone else’s unresolved state? What part is mine to carry, and what part did I simply witness?

This is why understanding the body matters far beyond biology class. If people understood the body properly, they would understand systems better. They would understand governance better. They would understand parenting better. They would understand education better. They would understand content better. They would understand accountability better. The body is not random. It is functional. It is relational. It is responsive. It learns from the mind that lives in it. When the mind gives up, the body responds. When the body can no longer hold the harm caused by the mind, the body responds. When parents carry unresolved emotional, physical, nutritional, psychological, or energetic conditions into conception and pregnancy, the child receives more than DNA in a narrow sense; the child enters a field. That does not mean blaming children. It means adults must stop pretending their self-neglect has no consequence beyond themselves. If society truly cared about life, it would take adult development seriously before adults become responsible for forming new life.

This is also why I cannot blindly entrust my life, my family, my future, my nieces, nephews, future children, grandchildren, and wider human continuity to systems operated by people who do not understand the foundations they are supposed to govern. If a politician does not understand the body, what gives them the confidence to legislate bodies? If a legal system does not understand human development, what gives it the confidence to judge behaviour without examining the systems that produced it? If education does not teach parents how to become conscious adults, what gives society the right to act surprised when children inherit poor manners, poor boundaries, poor emotional regulation, and poor responsibility? People keep pointing at the neighbour, the child, the mother, the father, the individual incident, but the deeper question is always: what system made this behaviour feel normal, permissible, invisible, or consequence-free?

The same applies to leadership. People ask why I confronted systems, why I pushed, why I questioned, why I wrote so much, why I held institutions accountable. It is because I could see that many of them did not house the actual foundations required to do their jobs properly. They may have titles. They may have procedures. They may have authority in the current legal or institutional sense. But if they do not understand the body, the mind, childhood development, emotional digestion, social programming, responsibility, consequence, and continuity, then they are managing life from fragments. And when fragmented people manage fragmented systems, the result is fragmentation dressed as order.

This is why awareness matters. Awareness is not the final action, but without awareness the right questions cannot even be asked. If people do not know how something works, they cannot hold the right individuals accountable. They blame the neighbour instead of asking what laws, cultures, educational gaps, and parenting failures made the neighbour comfortable behaving that way. They blame the child instead of asking what adults failed to teach. They blame the citizen instead of asking what the system incentivised. They blame the symptom because they do not understand the body of the problem. That is the danger of poor digestion at the level of society. Undigested information becomes reaction. Digested information becomes discernment.

That is the work I keep returning to: teaching digestion of reality. Not just consumption. Not just awareness. Not just information. Digestion. Dissection. Alchemy. Reflection. Placement. What belongs where? What needs to be transformed? What needs to be thrown away? What needs to be remembered? What needs to be researched? What needs to be taught? What needs to be delayed until the field is ready? What needs to be acted on immediately? These are ways of architecting the mind. And if the mind is not architected in the direction of Source, continuity, responsibility, and life, then the mind becomes a weapon of self-service. Anything that serves only the self will eventually disservice the other.

That is why I am grateful my dad fed the right hunger in me. He did not only buy me things. He helped me build an appetite for understanding. He invested in the curiosity that would one day help me look at a cartoon about the human body and see biology, parenting, education, programming, digestion, governance, content consumption, emotional residue, systemic accountability, and the future of humanity in the same frame. That is the difference between giving a child entertainment and feeding a child continuity. One keeps them occupied. The other gives them tools to understand life.

And now, years later, I can see the same lesson everywhere: food is raw material for the body, content is raw material for the mind, experience is raw material for consciousness, and society is what happens when all of us either digest properly or pass our undigested residue forward.

…

I’m also watching A Blast from the Past. I grew up watching what in Italian we call Il Corpo umano series. In English, it’s called Once Upon a Time… Life. And it’s basically a cartoon that was very, very educational in terms of understanding how the parts of the body work and all their different functions and the life around us as well. And me and my dad would, well, he would invest into that passion of mine. He would really invest into that than me putting money into Calciatori Panini, which was like the album with the football figures. And I’m so grateful that he invested more. I’m so grateful that I would sneak to get the football ones, but he would invest and literally buy me either the DVDs or the packs that with the pieces to build together when it came to understanding the body because he prioritized where the money went. He didn’t, he didn’t just fed my, my passions, he fed the passions that were actually nurturing to my soul, to my mind, and to my continuity. And I was just watching it again and the same lesson, oh my God, the same lesson literally I just spoke about. Beautiful. That’s why my dad was the best dad ever. Honestly, dad of the fucking century, bro. I wish we had more men that would do the same for their kids on a, on a consistent basis. Like he never gave me. just what I wanted, he gave me what I needed at any given moment in time. Like, honestly, he’s a G, he’s a gangster in parenting. He should be the one to write a book. He should be actually the one to write a book. But when it comes to this series, it’s great because you can see that it’s a cartoon, so it’s easy and it’s so simple. It’s easy for kids to comprehend exactly how the body works. But unfortunately, the writer also projected the ways that adults think into it, not the ways that kids think into it. So it made the cells complain about their job and whatnot. And it brings to me the understanding that even if we were to, even where we’ve built great things because we’ve projected the limitations of our own living into it, we disrupted the purity that they were supposed to be made with. Now, I fortunately did not pick up on the language, but I was more fascinated by how the body worked. But there’s many people that because of their nurtured environment, they didn’t have parents who necessarily told them, no, watching the Once Upon a Time Life is more important than getting figures of celebrities who run behind the ball, though we would sit and watch football together sometimes because he was for Juventus and I’m for Inter. I was for Inter, I don’t follow football anymore. I am that person that would rather play football than actually sit and watch football. Unless there is a really, really, really good reason to, I would do it for someone, but I wouldn’t do it out of my own, out of my own, how do you say it, interest or whatever. I actually wanted to play football. Football was one of my dreams to be a professional football. I was really good, but I instead played volleyball for whatever reasons. But when it comes to this, because in all of that, it also makes it together with the point that I’m going to raise that the moment I started, I watched first the blood one, which gave me the insight of how the adult’s right to projected its own ways of thinking into the cartoon for the child, almost also programming the child to then feel like that about work or this is so, you know, all the complaining and whatnot. When really and truly our body, because it is its own function, it is the only function that’s born to do, our body is actually happy to do it. It starts malfunctioning when we start projecting our negativity into our body because our body learns from our mind. Our body is only there to serve the mind that lives in it. When the mind decides to quit, the body quits. When the body decides to quit because it cannot hold the harm that the mind has caused, that’s when the body quits. But it’s all together and obviously mental harm to the body that is, goes beyond just the one individual because we have sort of thinking to our hands that a child that isn’t fully born, that those born might not have what, like, quote-unquote, people would call, like, normal, um, is also lacks that the child unfortunately picked up from the parent, whether from the uh that uh coding or from the mother’s nurturing during the process. And all of these things that we have to take into account, because we have to hold the people responsible. If people are not taking care of themselves, unfortunately, that also means that they’re not going to be able to produce healthy babies, which means that this doesn’t just go on a physical basis, also mentally and emotionally. And we have to, as a, as a, well, I say we, but the legal systems, the one that is supposed to be the matriarch, like, or patriarch or ruler, should hold accountable its people if it’s serving us for our higher self, but it doesn’t have people that have that understanding of life, so it cannot service in that way. The only reason why I confronted them last year is because I understood that they didn’t house the actual foundations in order to do their job properly, to service properly. If they were to think and bring these conversations in the parliament or in places that matter and enforce them, we would have systems that work better because the people in those systems would work better. But because we don’t understand how our bodies actually work, we miss so much, and there’s so much that I’m learning about the body. I’m not gonna share everything because some parts will be part of a um research, but… for those that I have shared, there’s so much already, so much potential that we’re not even touching. And honestly, it’s all in the change of perception. And the second video that I saw was the digestion. And it’s literally, as soon as it started, it said, food is the raw material, and the first bite is to start the digesting process. And in my mind, I went, oh my God, we don’t even do that with the content that we consume. Any content that we consume is raw material. We are the ones who are supposed to digest it through the mind. Our body does the digestion for the body, but what our eyes and we experience is for the mind to digest. Emotions only show us how much residue has been digested or not. If energy hasn’t been digested, if we meet an energy that resonates with our original one, what we would call triggering, then we will always be triggered because the energy source, the source of that energy hasn’t been healed. If the source of that energy is shame, we will always create circumstances that will have us in position to re-trigger that shame just so that our mind can see it and our mind can heal the underlying foundations that creates that emotion in the first place. But people don’t think like this. So how can I entrust my life, my family, my future, my own individual future, the future of my family that are already here and their children, my nephews, my nieces, my grandchildren? How can I entrust? All these lives, two systems and people that don’t know how to take care of them. How is it that I can take care of nine billion people better than they can? And how is it, and that’s just the mind, it’s simply because they’re not giving me the pathways to actually put it in practice, because if I was to put it in practice, I would have shown already that the practice was actually already there. Because when the mind is set right, the following, the application just follows suits, follows naturally. It’s the natural way of being and existing. That is just how things are. If someone cannot even comprehend it, they cannot practice it. And that’s why I work so much on translating where I personally think the locks are, because people are not willing to say, I don’t understand this, I don’t understand that, I don’t understand this, can you specify this? People don’t ask questions because they don’t… People don’t really want to show any type of anything that could make them seem vulnerable, because when you think of someone saying, I don’t know as much as you, and if you know more, that means that you can act on more than I could potentially protect me from. But bro, that depends, that comes down to intentions, but what you’re saying is that, that’s what you would do if you would have more information. I’m telling you all the information that I have. Like, sometimes, honestly, I laugh because I’m like, do these people even know what their behaviors say about themselves? Like, it’s, I don’t think they do, and I don’t think that they do question it that deep. Because there’s so much that it says. But again, I digress. The focus of the point here is that when we consume things, we need to digest, we need to dissect what we consume, so that we can see where to put energy, what needs alchemy of the mind, what needs a perspective, a further perspective, what needs an explanation, what needs a reflection, what needs to be discarded, what needs to be pondered on, what needs to be set further ahead of time, further down the line. You know, like those ways to actually manage and architect your mind, they need to be grounded in the direction of source, because if not, they become harmful to the other, to any other. Because then, they’re all just in service of self. And anything that is only in service of self alone will disservice any other. So really and truly, I want people to ask yourselves, how can you let… These individuals nurture, protect, take care, direct, lead you and your families when they cannot lead themselves, nor lead… and the only reason why I say they cannot lead themselves is because they would have to have an in-depth understanding and self-awareness in order for them to be able to provide for the other. If someone doesn’t… if a politician doesn’t know how their body works, they cannot make rules that are based on the body. They really have nowhere to speak on. I don’t understand why they feel so confident in giving judgments to how women should deal with their bodies. They have no foundational right to. They can hear perspective of selected individuals that are part of the biological industry, but that’s selected perspectives. And because we understand that industries aren’t global, they are competing globally, and in saying that, I mean, there’s no one place where exposure is allowed for the continuity of the industry. There’s no one place, no country, no government, even they say United Nations, there’s only… there’s five countries that are leading that place. It’s just five countries that are leading at all. They choose who leads it. They choose what goes and they choose what doesn’t. That is not a homogenized system where everyone is contributing to the discoveries of their own countries. That is not a system that helps to support the all. That is a system that extrapolates from the many to provide to the few. Very different segment of conversation. Very, very different. And they need to be made aware simply because in awareness, we can then question things. Without the awareness of it all, we can’t even question it. So being aware is super important and knowing the underlining foundations of things, which is just knowing the facts, is what allows us to then hold accountable the right individuals, not the neighbor that acts on whatever thing that is allowed by the law. No. Okay, your neighbor does that. Okay, cool. What makes your neighbor feel comfortable to be able to do so? Look at the laws that allow him to do that. Don’t look at the neighbor. The neighbor only acts on what he thinks he can because there’s nothing that tells him that is not good manners. You know, if your neighbor allows your kid to, after you’ve told them already, to just come to your window, Look inside when you’re just in your own privacy space, that is a fault of the system, because the system didn’t actually raise the child, well, didn’t raise the system that educated the development of the mother and the father in order for them to then become fully educated adults to be able to make directed choices in the… development of the children. And I’m selective with the words because I also give them the credits for the fact that they do teach the children to clean the garden. Now, I don’t know their family dynamics, but at least I do see the children cleaning the garden. It is teaching them some responsibility, but I also hear the father just being directive and reactive. There’s no in-between, there’s no explanation. The explanation comes in the reaction, which is not necessarily productive to the ways in which you want to develop a child, you know?

Does what I have become threaten him 100%, has he invested in a great foundation for me 100%. We’re good again, we have infinite compassion and understanding for each other.
