  There’s nothing special about being certain of the path we would like to pursue during our life journey. It’s a choice we need to make, and it’s related with the values we would like to keep deep within, even if the environment we’re inserted into promotes the opposite. The Buddha’s journey towards enlightenment teaches us a lot about renunciation, acceptance, observation, understanding, and confidence of knowing what we need to do about our own destiny. Let’s imagine if the last Buddha, Siddartha Gautama, accepted with no doubts and no questions asked the teachings of many doctrines he had experienced before deciding to walk his own middle path. We would never be able to know the true outcome if he had enrolled into a different path but we may imagine that Buddhism and his wonderful teachings could never be formulated by the time it had been formulated and emerged. Personally, one of the most iconic teachings for me is accepting nothing with no understanding, which implies that ...

  It’s time to renew that old feeling of hope, implying that something good will happen in the middle of all the negativity we need to face and deal with in the present moment. Hope is always there, and we need to not let that flame vanish from who we really are. Buddha, the enlightened one, taught us about getting detached from our ego, which may imply removing the idea of the self from the equation of life, getting totally integrated into the universe itself, a bigger and wider view of promoting and caring about life that we can use to extend the perspective of looking into a given moment or situation we’re experiencing. However, I personally find more tractable and sound to see and interpret the need to remove the idea of the self as taking into consideration what happens in the universe and in the surroundings to characterise and understand the position and the contributions of the current self to the whole instead of establishing a rigid priority order where the whole always c...

  The war between light and darkness is over when we understand the magnitude of the power we’ve at hand while establishing a strong, resilient yet peaceful posture to apply defensive-only manoeuvres to prevent hatred culture to dominate the scene and the environment we’re inserted into, if and only if, either ignoring or walking away aren’t options we’ve available at hand. In order to put such a strategy into practice we need to be aware and awaken of the need to perform our body and mind training, keeping consciousness at hand to deal with anything aside from our love nature that life presents to us. The more clarity of mind we develop, the better we understand what has to be done in the present moment. There’s nothing to fear when we’re conscious enough and totally aware of what happens in the present moment. The word of choice is defence, and when we’re focused on living our own life, there’s only the need to be aware of harmful behaviours and actions towards us, which attainin...

“The more we understand what we do, the easier it’s to keep it simple, efficient yet trustworthy.” — Jeferson Souza (thejefecomp). Available also in a signed pdf version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PH6kSJ56kzpO8XFwka83zGv6btVa-rwp/view?usp=sharing

  There’s a pressing concern of accepting anything imposed, which disregards the need for a clear and full understanding of what we do and experience in the present moment. Accepting that belief-based model is stepping into a deep period of suffering, where all illusions we’ve contact with get mixed with any genuine and real fact that is utilised as a strong source of knowledge we acquire during our life journey. Being able to keep consciousness at hand to ensure no false claim is able to block our intrinsic ability of segregating right from wrong implies getting ready to step up into higher stages of our personal evolution. Do you believe in everything you hear, see, or read without reflecting yourself about the matter? If you do that, and don’t care about acquiring clear and proper understanding, you may be probably experiencing a deep period of suffering. It’s time to wake up and start questioning things you’ve no clear understanding of. As a consequence, you may find answers yo...

  There’s a difference between knowing the truth and acting in an attempt to vanish and control the negative consequences of that truth, preventing them from happening. On one hand we have the knowledge of what really happens, mainly the true knowledge behind the scenes. And on the other hand, we know the difference between right and wrong, and therefore, if we keep consciousness at hand we understand we cannot act if either the motivation or the actions performed are wrong and out of a genuine and defensive manoeuvre. The only thing left is training and preparing for applying self-defence if, and only if, required to cultivate and nurture our love nature, as well as caring about life as the ultimate goal. The moment we realise that, it’s the moment we understand why performing our body and mind training is a personal duty that lasts for a lifetime. We need to acquire as much knowledge as we can in order to realise and understand what happens in the present moment. Our deep underst...

  It’s essential that we keep learning as much as we can in order to deal with the unknown in a conscious and meaningful way. We cannot control the impermanence of the universe, and as a consequence of that, we cannot control what we need to face, no matter the type of environment we live in, or we’re inserted into at the present moment. It’s our duty to be prepared, and by doing so, we start walking towards a vivid materialisation of our personal evolution, attaining higher levels of peace of mind as a result of a better understanding of ourselves, the environment, and life itself. Let’s not get intimidated by the huge amount of negativity we need to deal with on a daily basis. It’s our intrinsic ability of surpassing our own limits that makes us capable of both dealing and trespassing anything that gets before the self during our life journey. We need to attain a proper understanding to start consciously seeing and experiencing our true power, demystifying, mastering, and increas...
