The Essence of Living
Everyone is subject to these three main feelings:
- Fear;
- Desire to know;
- Desire for happiness, freedom, and fulfilment.
Attainment of Self-knowledge fulfils all of these desires.
The highest purpose of life is to know and realise your true essential nature: the Consciousness-Awareness, known as the inner, changeless, ever-present, blissful Self. The Self is the witness to your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and perceptions. The changeless Self is your true identity. You are not the body-mind or ego-personality. You are the subject and the body-mind is the objects of your awareness.
Your original state of being is Oneness, in which there is no separation, and no duality. It is the ego, the separate-self, that constructs the subject-object duality, a separate-I, and false identification with the mind-body.
It is because of self-ignorance that we have forgotten our true spiritual nature and feel different and separate from others and God. The illusion of separation and misidentification is the cause of our suffering and bondage. The ignorance of this illusion disappears with knowledge of the Self (Self-Knowledge).
This book is a constant, daily reminder of our true essential nature. It is a contemplative book for all those who have forgotten or are unaware of their true spiritual identity. It is for all those who are seeking to know the Truth, God, Ultimate Reality, lasting happiness, security, inner peace, love, contentment, and spiritual fulfilment.
You are destined to be spiritually enlightened! This book in the form of spiritual comic strips will open your mind and heart to remember, recognise, and know your true nature — the Self — to set you free in peace, love, and joy!

Bleached Bones and Bitter Figs
From the Ashes of an Unknown Burning Soulless
In “Bones and Bitter Figs”, Miguel Santiago invites you on an unflinching journey through the fractured landscapes of our shared humanity. This evocative collection delves into the marrow of memory, unearthing sacred decay and generational wounds that bind us all.
From the carnival of self-delusion where blessed professionals dance with painted masks to the apocalyptic spectacles where even madness finds its truth, Santiago’s poetry reflects the places we’ve bled, broken, and sought redemption.
“Sometimes when we wander lost, we find ourselves in all the places we never thought to look.”
Traverse the liminal spaces between darkness and light, where consciousness unravels and societal decay seeps into the foundations of our world. Through visceral imagery and raw emotion, these poems grapple with personal dissolution, moral collapse, and the ghosts we carry within us.
Encounter the haunting echoes of smokeless cities, silent screams behind closed doors, and phantoms lingering at the edges of perception. Yet, within the ruins, there’s a relentless pursuit of meaning, connection, and the possibility of renewal.
“These poems are not just lamentations—they prove that even in our most profound darkness, we still seek meaning, connection, and dare to speak our truth.”
“Bones and Bitter Figs” is a profound exploration of the human condition—a tapestry woven with stark honesty and undeniable resilience. Miguel Santiago’s debut collection is a powerful reminder that in our breaking, we find our beauty; in our scars, stories of survival; and in our alleged existence, the most profound connections.
May these words find meaning for you.
