Awakened realities: Anton Sammut and the soul of consciousness An in-depth review of a visionary Maltese philosopher’s masterwork

It is truly a shame — and deeply saddening — to see so many people squander their lives judging the faults of others, only to realize the stupidity of it all on their deathbed, as they come to see how grotesquely and foolishly they’ve wasted their own lives.

Why do we fixate on the external world, when—like in quantum physics—observation itself shapes reality? The true illusion may be believing the 'outside' is more real than the mind that perceives it. I think I know why: few are willing to face themselves—their own abyss, as Nietzsche put it...

Religious ideologies, when aligned with power, nationalism, or fear of difference, have often been used to justify racial hierarchy, exclusion, and violence. Christianity, like any belief system, can be interpreted in ways that reinforce existing power structures.

There are two kinds of fools in the world: the one who stumbles blindly into error, and the one who, believing himself wiser, rushes to expose the first. Both reveal something about the nature of ignorance—one by action, the other by judgment.

Grateful it found a mirror in your mind Sir—thank you for seeing it so clearly.

For those earnest souls who, in all sincerity, seek after God.
— from my book Metanoia (2022)

As the world slowly loses its soul, we Maltese recall an old saying: "Kemm konna aħjar meta konna agħar" — "How much better we were when we were worse."
There was richness in our simple life, and now, as Oscar Wilde rightly said, “People know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

All types of social media are specifically designed to keep you hooked in your solipsistic, egoic mind. You believe that what you believe is always right, and that those who don’t think like you are always wrong—don’t you?
…There has never been a greater religion than this.

When you point a finger at the 'world', three fingers point back at you—but you're too unaware to realize it. You ignorant human being - it is all in your mind...

I don’t care much for politics, but if there’s any in my books, it’s this: to protect the fragility of your inner life in an age of noise; to defend the poetic within you against the algorithmic; and to insist—gently but firmly—that your spirit still matters.

Throughout history, about 80% of humanity has operated within the Beta mental frequency 12–30 Hz, associated with the realm of the 'animal soul.' At this level, individuals are more susceptible to violence, anger, and inhumane behavior. Resisting this world is often like fighting a losing battle.

American psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg (1927–1987) noted that children often learn to bend rules for personal gain. So don’t be quick to judge those in power—you might do the same. As Schopenhauer suggested, the truth is that 'right' and 'wrong' often reflect one’s will to power.

The mind is a web of identifications. Remove them, and what remains is not nothing, but Śūnyatā—the no-thing from which all arises. In this state, labels like Republican or Democrat, Socialist or Liberal fall away. If that seems impossible, it's because your egoic mind still holds you trapped.

In quantum terms, to observe is to alter and to touch one part is to affect the whole. Likewise, when you try to fix the world without knowing yourself, you distort both — because you and the world are not separate. Among a million, perhaps only three or four truly know themselves. Gnōthi Seauton...

The universe is not outside you—it unfolds within. What you perceive as reality is shaped by your own egoic structure, a projection of the mind. All that you seek, you already are. Few will understand this...

I’ve noticed that the more inhumane conflicts rage across the world, the more we seem to turn away from acknowledging the very similar battles within ourselves. It is as though external chaos offers a kind of moral distraction, allowing us to project our inner unrest onto the world stage.

“Power is nothing but fear in disguise. Those who seek power do so because they are afraid – afraid of their own insignificance, afraid of losing control, afraid of facing the truth about themselves.”
