Experimentando con los Límites del Potencial Humano

“La mayor verdad fue descubrir que el último apego era yo mismo.”
 - En este episodio de La Gran Victoria, Isra García responde a una serie de preguntas formuladas por Bea Abril, una de las personas que más cerca ha estado de él durante los años del proceso.

“La disciplina primero te libera, luego te esclaviza, y después debes trascenderla.”


Una conversación directa sobre lo que vuelve al mundo después de cuatro años de retirada, las verdades que no fueron bonitas pero sí necesarias, el papel real de la disciplina y la práctica, el descubrimiento de la quietud, la oscuridad como entrenamiento, y el significado profundo de servir.

“Parar es el lugar donde realmente ocurre la transformación.”


Preguntas que formula Bea:
¿Qué parte de Isra ha vuelto al mundo y cuál no ha vuelto?

¿Qué verdades internas fueron incómodas pero necesarias?

¿Cuándo la práctica dejó de ser salvación para convertirse en control?

¿Por qué parar transforma más que avanzar?

¿Qué papel jugó la oscuridad en el cierre de La Gran Victoria?

¿Qué significa servir más allá del impacto visible?

¿Cuál sería el consejo no solicitado para los que no te conocen?

“Servir es quitar el yo del medio.”


Lo que aprenderás en este episodio:

Por qué la felicidad está en habitar lo cotidiano sin huir de ello

Cómo la disciplina primero salva, luego esclaviza y finalmente debe soltarse

Por qué la quietud es una práctica radicalmente transformadora

Qué sucede cuando dejas de escapar de ti mismo

Por qué servir elimina el “yo” y con él, el conflicto

Cómo dar cabida a todo genera paz, armonía y coherencia vital

“Si quitas una parte de la vida, quitas todas.”

“La felicidad hoy para mí es vivir las pequeñas cosas de cada día y darme cuenta de que las estoy viviendo.” - En este episodio de La Gran Victoria, Isra García responde a tres preguntas esenciales en la recta final de su viaje experimental de casi cinco años.
“Después de haber visto todo lo que he visto, lo más parecido a la verdadera felicidad es vivir cada día tal y como se presenta.”
Las preguntas que Unai formula e Isra responde
¿Qué es para ti la felicidad hoy?

¿A qué le tienes miedo?

¿Cuál es la mayor lección que has aprendido?

Las respuestas giran en torno a una idea central: la felicidad como estar donde estás, y la paz que surge al darle cabida a todo lo que ocurre, sin excepción.
“El único miedo que he podido encontrar es no poder dar todo lo que se merece a quienes amo.”
Es una conversación desde la paz que llega cuando dejas de pelearte con lo que ocurre.
Una de las últimas piezas de La Gran Victoria: ese “invento” de morir en vida para aprender, simplemente, a vivir.
“Nada está fuera de vivir: la pérdida, el sufrimiento, la muerte, la vida, todo forma parte.”
Qué aprenderás en este episodio:
Reconocer la felicidad en lo cotidiano, sin necesidad de añadir nada.
Identificar el miedo que permanece cuando todo lo demás ya ha caído.
Comprender qué significa realmente “darle cabida a todo”.
A no exaltarse ante lo extraordinario ni hundirse ante lo desastroso.
Operar desde la permanencia, no desde la reacción.
Vivir el día tal y como se presenta.
“Cuando entiendes que todo es un ir y venir, algo aparece y algo desaparece, llega una paz muy profunda.”

“The most impactful challenge I’m facing right now is being human. Being alive.” - Being Alive, Losing Everything, and Choosing an Extraordinary Life is an intimate and uncompromising conversation between Isra García and Renay Fonseca, recorded during the final stretch of The Great Victory journey.
“Losing someone you love changes everything. You either quit or you choose to live an extraordinary life.”
This episode is not about success. It’s about being alive.
IRenay Fonseca asks Isra García questions that cut through performance, identity, and ambition—and land directly in loss, love, integrity, and truth.
“Peace and war can coexist. When they stop fighting, everything fits.”
The questions Renay asks Isra:
What has been the most impactful challenge you’ve ever faced — and why?

Which conversation or interview resonated the least at the time… and later revealed a deeper truth?

As The Great Victory approaches its closing, what truly changed — and what never did?

When was the last time you were moved to tears, and what opened that moment?

“The gift was never becoming someone else. The gift was living.”
From the loss of a brother at a young age, to years of relentless self-experimentation, darkness retreats, silence, grief, devotion, and love — Isra reflects on what it really means to live without fighting who you are.
“The one who left thought something had to be fixed. The one who came back knows nothing is missing.”
Through these questions, Isra reflects on:
Why being alive is the only challenge that truly matters

Losing a loved one at a young age—and choosing life instead of quitting

How grief became a doorway to depth, purpose, and presence

The role of humanity, empathy, and timing in meaningful conversations

Living without proving, fixing, or demonstrating anything

Crying from gratitude, love, and the realisation that nothing is missing

“Every moment — even the hardest one — is a victory when you live it with gratitude.”

“I don’t need to prove anything anymore. I’m simply true to what I am in this moment.”

“The real victory isn’t winning—it’s continuing when quitting makes sense.” - Most people quit when it gets uncomfortable. This episode is about the art of not stopping.
In The Great Victory Ep. 21, Isra García and Omar Zabian explore what it really means to surpass your limits—not through motivation, but through persistence, self-challenge, love, and the willingness to keep going when everything inside wants to stop.
"Every challenge I created for myself existed because I was the limitation"
In this powerful episode of The Great Victory, Isra García sits down with Omar Zabian—brother, witness, and companion throughout four years of radical detachment—for one of the most complete reflections on persistence, self-challenge, gratitude, and what it truly means to win at life.
"You are unlimited, so be it."
Omar takes Isra back to the moments that shaped his inner compass: from growing up with scarcity and imagination, to defying limits others imposed, to enduring extreme physical and mental challenges—including triathlons, ultra-endurance feats, and long periods of total darkness.
Together, they explore:
Why challenging yourself must always come before challenging others

How persistence (“Go. Carry on.”) became Isra’s life mantra

What happens when you face your mind in absolute darkness

How suffering is inevitable—but suffering with pain is optional

Why gratitude for being alive is the ultimate victory

Isra shares how losing his mind in darkness led him to clarity, peace, and unconditional love—allowing him to see his entire life as a masterpiece, not a mistake.
“The Great Victory is realising that every moment—every hardship, every encounter—is already a victory.” - Isra Garcia
This episode is about surpassing your limits, not to become someone else, but to finally become who you already are.
What You’ll Learn in this Episode:
How to transform limitation into fuel
Why imagination is a survival skill
The difference between pain and suffering
How gratitude dissolves fear
What “The Great Victory” truly means in daily life
"The most important moment of my life starts every morning."
About the Guest:
Omar Zabian is the Managing Director of Montraa, a global entertainment and production company based in Montreal. He is a close brother and lifelong supporter of Isra’s journey—one of the few people who walked side by side with him through years of detachment, experimentation, and reinvention.
“Surpass your limits—not to be better than anyone else, but to stop believing you are limited.”
If this episode resonates, leave a review, share it with someone you love, and remember:
Every day you wake up is already a victory.

“Stillness. This is the way.” - Isra Garcia -- In this intimate episode of The Great Victory, Isra García sits with Natasja Pelgrom in Bali—overlooking rice fields, the ocean, and the mountains—on the last day of their time together.
“You don’t have to show love. You are love.”
Natasja is a Pioneer in Holistic Transformation, an internationally respected visionary, advisor, and thought leader at the intersection of sacred leadership, human flourishing, and transformative entrepreneurship. She embodies key capabilities, and her presence carries three significant qualities: heart, wisdom, and depth. From nervous system to nervous system, breath to breath, she asks Isra three questions that pull the conversation into the rawest territory of his 4-year experimental sabbatical: illusion, love, truth—death in every moment—and the one practice he believes most people truly need right now.
“Die at every moment.”
The 3 questions Natasja asks
What have you learned about illusion, truth, and love through The Great Victory?
Are you willing to speak about dying many times—and what that “death” really means on the path?
From all your experiments and practices: what is the one healing quality people need most today?
“Nothing to fix. Nothing to prove.”
What you’ll take from this episode
Why Isra sees illusion, love, and truth as inseparable—and impossible to capture in words

What “dying at every moment” actually means (beyond spiritual romanticism)

Why stillness is not a technique, but an art—and the fastest path to inner freedom

How to start practising stillness without making it complicated

The line that becomes the episode’s mantra: “Stillness. This is the way.”

A conversation for those who want less theory, more reality—and a direct return to what’s essential.
“Stillness is direct realisation.”
