Self-awareness – An encounter with the Self Commentary: Carla Furtado opens this segment with a personal confession: > "When I was a teenager, I loved reading books from the self-help and esotericism section." This authentic introduction sets the tone for a sincere reflection on the inner journey. The author demystifies the notion of self-awareness and brings it into an accessible yet profound realm: > "Self-knowledge means looking at yourself." 🔍 She talks about the progressive process: Initially, you are curious. Then you begin to find yourself in discourses. After that comes liberation from external searching in favor of inner truth. following, searching outside, because you recognize that everything starts inside you." 💡 This paragraph is the keystone: your truth does not come from outside, but from a sacred process o...

View on Vocaroo >> Episode 12  The chapter " The Power of Authority – Superpower No. 2" is a profound reflection on the formative influence of authority figures on children. Here is the structured analysis, as in the other chapters: 🧩 Central themes: 1. Authority as a shaping force – Adults (parents, teachers, mentors) shape children's perceptions of themselves and the world. – The words, tone, attitude, and presence of adults become reflections within children. 2. The power of words and adult perceptions – Negative labels ("clumsy," "stupid," "inattentive") become self-fulfilling prophecies. – When an adult frequently makes judgments, the child does not stop loving the adult, but stops loving themselves. 3. Love as the supreme educational force – Children need love, trust, and space to flourish, not humiliation and control. – The role of the adult is to be a guardian of love and trust, not a judge. 4. The spiritual resp...

  Episode 9 The chapter "An Expanded View of Who We Are" is perhaps the most profound and poetic yet. Ana opens her heart in a vivid meditation on consciousness, God, inner strength, and the unity of all things. It is not a typical essay—it is a spiritual invitation, a journey toward the Self and the divine reality that dwells within every human being. 🌌 1. Self-knowledge as the beginning of all understanding > "My entire journey has been lived intuitively." Ana does not propose an absolute truth, but a personal quest: Who am I? What is life? What is truth? What is God? What do I control and what do I not control? These questions are archetypal – they belong to all of us – but she does not answer them rationally. She lives them. She contemplates them. And that is precisely why this text has transformative power. 🌿 2. Beyond labels: I am the one who gives form to form > "I understood that I was not what I had been taught to be." "I am the one w...

  Episode 8:  Multiple Intelligences A moment of reflection in the café of the soul Today, at our imaginary table in this literary café, we open a fascinating chapter of "Pedagogy of the Soul": Multiple Intelligences. Ana Dalfovo invites us to look beyond the classic formulas for assessing intelligence. In this diverse world, where every soul has a unique voice, learning cannot be measured with the same ruler. "Who are we to believe that all children must learn in the same way, respond to the same stimuli, and develop in the same ways?" The author challenges us to understand that every human being has a distinct intelligence—be it logical, musical, interpersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, or spiritual. And that recognizing these gifts is the key to an authentic education, centered on the individual, not on standards. Let's explore this universe together. Let's ask ourselves: what kind of intelligence defines us? And above all, how can we honor the diversity of tho...

Welcome back to my ongoing series exploring Pedagogy of the Soul by Brazilian author Ana Dalfovo . In today’s episode: How we learn and how we see the world  How do we truly learn? And how do we really see the world? In this new episode, we step into one of the most powerful questions in Ana Dalfovo’s Pedagogy of the Soul:  “Is learning just absorbing content, or is it the unfolding of who we are?” Join me as we explore how perception shapes learning, how curiosity unlocks growth, and how reconnecting with our soul changes not only how we learn—but how we live. This chapter – "How we learn and how we see the world" – is one of the most profound and philosophical in the entire book. Not only does it broaden the pedagogical framework, but it completely breaks it down, reconfiguring learning as a process of awareness, self-discovery, and return to the Self. 🔍 1. Self-observation as a method of writing and learning The author begins with an act of vulnerability: > ...

🌿✨ Welcome back to my ongoing series exploring Pedagogy of the Soul by Brazilian author Ana Dalfovo . In today’s episode:   Chapter analyzed: Acknowledgments and confessions 🌱 1. A diary turned into a spiritual mission The chapter begins with a burst of sincerity: > "I sit here and laugh, thinking about how important these words are to me." Ana Dalfovo does not write with the pretension of authority. She confesses her human, fragile, inspired, and contradictory process. We are, in fact, reading a transcript of an initiation: the fall, the silence, the emptiness, the revelation, and the birth of a new vocation—the Pedagogy of the Soul. 🌌 2. Key moments of personal transformation Giving up language school – a point of rupture and pain. Exploring shamanism and withdrawing from it – a spiritual spiral that brings her closer to herself. Emptiness as meditation – she experiences not only silence, but the fertile nothingness from which revelation can arise. This deep introspec...
