Exploration. Liberty. Release. Self-confidence. All of those concepts are required when we decide it is time to get ourselves free from attachment. Attachment means dependency, and dependency means lack of control. We have to be self-sustainable and free to perform our own choices wisely.

Attachment is a difficult subject to deal, as it is always associated with pleasure. We get attached by something we have pleasure and satisfaction to do, or to someone we have pleasure to spend time with. To free ourselves from attachment is to establish a clear separation between pleasure and dependency.

As a baby we feel comfortable [and have pleasure] to be attached to our mother. We establish a natural dependency to the acts of care and love. With the passage of the years, we have to learn to free ourselves from that initial attachment established by our own survival. We have to break the dependency from our mother, in order to be able to go to school, to get educated, to grow up in the direction of an independent life. The liberation from attachment is intrinsically in our nature; it is intrinsically in our way to live in society.

To free ourselves from attachment, and to establish a non-dependent relationship with someone else, does not mean we don’t care for others anymore. On the opposite, we still care but we do not depend on a specific relation. To care for someone else isn’t the same to force a relation of dependency. To care for someone else is to establish a solid foundation sustained by love, which is the platform used to support the independent but cooperative growth of everyone involved.

The fuel of negativity is attachment; it is the dependency on something or on someone. At the darkest times we have the tendency to go back to our first primitive instincts of attachment. The first primitive instincts of dependency.

The moment we realise the dependency [and the associated attachment] is the source of suffering, it is the moment we liberate ourselves from the darkness; it is the moment we start to walk in the direction of a bright and beautiful light of love.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...
