Who I Am and Who This Blog Is For
My name is Amil Ecki. I am an ordinary man from Eastern Europe, in my forties, and I lead an active lifestyle—not a sage or a guru, as the photo might suggest. In fact, the image is symbolic, chosen to represent the themes of this blog rather than my actual appearance. I mention this to emphasize that spirituality is for everyone. It doesn’t matter where we come from, what we have been through, or how old we are. The search for meaning and depth in life is not reserved for the “enlightened” or a chosen few. Spirituality is something we can practice daily, without grand gestures or pronouncements.
This space is an invitation to feel part of a shared journey—from chaos to peace, from pain to understanding, from darkness to light. This blog is not a guide or a collection of ready-made recipes for happiness. It is a travel journal—an invitation to discover spirituality together and search for a meaning that can be found in the quiet moments of our everyday lives.
My Story: Crisis and Questions
For years, my life felt like a stormy sea. I struggled with a deep depression that drained the color from the world. At the same time, my family life was falling apart. For many months, my wife led a double life—living with me and our children while also seeing someone else. She eventually decided to move out, leaving me with full custody of our three kids.
In hindsight, I see that while I believed I was doing everything for my family, I was mostly focused on my own duties and providing a sense of security. Somewhere in all of that, my wife’s feelings got lost. I don’t place all the blame on her; we all carry our fears and wounds, and we don’t always know how to name them or communicate them to another person. Spirituality is teaching me to see the bigger picture—not just my own pain, but also what the other person might be experiencing.
This situation left me with so many questions: Was it my fault? Could I have done something differently? Where did all the frustration and coldness between us come from? My emotions—anger, resentment, a sense of injustice—were overwhelming. I tried to suppress them, to ignore them, but the more I resisted, the harder it became to live a normal life. It was at this breaking point that I began to search for something that could help me regain my balance.
Spirituality and Practice: Mind, Body, and Mindfulness
The turning point for me was reading “Physics of the Soul” by Amit Goswami. I had always been intrigued by the mysteries of quantum physics, but this book took my curiosity in a new direction. Goswami, as a quantum physicist, explores the idea that consciousness and the soul are not just metaphysical concepts—they have a foundation in science. His explanations opened my mind to the possibility that spirituality and science could coexist, and that our inner life has a profound impact on how we experience reality. This sparked my search for a deeper, more personal understanding of spirituality.
Inspired by this perspective, I began to practice mindfulness. I started with daily meditation, simple breathing exercises, and physical activity to release tension from my body. I am learning to observe my emotions, not to fight them, but to accept and understand them. I stopped asking, “Why me?” and started asking, “What can I learn from this?” Every experience, no matter how difficult, became an opportunity for self-reflection and growth.
Transformation: Understanding Myself and Others
Over time, I discovered that transcending my own ego brings immense freedom and strength. Above all, spirituality has taught me greater compassion—both for myself and for others. I realized that I have no control over another person’s actions, but I can be mindful of my own feelings and the real needs of my loved ones. This journey helped me break out of the vicious cycle of anger and victimhood.
Spirituality is a deeply personal journey, and trusting yourself is key. I explore this idea further in “Be Your Own Guru”, where I share thoughts on how to navigate your path without blindly following others.
The ideas from “Physics of the Soul” by Amit Goswami deeply influenced my perspective. In this book, Goswami uses quantum physics to explore profound questions about life, death, reincarnation, and immortality, arguing that our consciousness transcends the material body. He suggests that the soul is real and continuous, that our experiences in this life carry meaning beyond the physical, and that science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. This understanding inspired me to view every challenge as a potential catalyst for growth and to see spirituality as an essential, living part of our everyday human journey.
An Invitation to a Shared Journey
This blog is the fruit of this transformation and a desire to share the discovery that even the greatest life crisis can become the beginning of profound change. I want to write about mindfulness, transcending the limits of the ego, and seeking a connection with our true nature.
If you feel that your life needs deeper meaning, you are going through difficulties, or you are simply curious about the world of spirituality—I invite you to join this journey. Let’s discover together how to find peace in chaos and meaning in even the most difficult experiences.
Each of us has a unique spiritual path. If you’d like to dive deeper into this idea, take a look at “8 Billion Souls, 8 Billion Paths – Why Spirituality Is Unique for Everyone”. It’s a celebration of individuality in the spiritual journey.
