The Philosopher's Room

Where mindfulness meets personal growth.


Welcome to your inner room—for reflection, clarity, and quiet revolution.

About me
and
my philosophy

I’m AJ “the Sage” Murillo, as an author, psychological engineer, and alchemist—I invite you to explore the depths of consciousness and the introspection of self and life.

I believe that life can be beautifully simple when we dare to be truly honest with ourselves, peeling away the layers of illusion and embracing our authentic self. With a philosophy that intertwines self-discovery and the exploration of life’s mysteries, I offer insights that inspire introspection, transformation, and a deeper understanding of how our minds truly work.

The intersection between the divine and the human—where both finally understand each other.

Pssst, let me spill a little secret…

What really matters, in life, is not about what you achieve. Achievements are milestones, but the real work is designing you.

What you create within shapes what you achieve outside.That’s the true power you should be seeking
