It is all about expectations. We should not raise our expectations too high, as we live surrounded by a world where impermanence dictates the rhythm. We have to believe in ourselves but be conscious the interaction with the world around us is ruled by uncertainty. It is our natural capability to read and calculate the probabilities of life, which makes all the uncertainties to appear as illusions of certainty. As a skillful fisherman, we have to learn how to read the environment to put our expectations to a reasonable level.

Expectation is something we should be conscious about. It varies from person to person, and from situation to situation. Expectation is something we should learn to be grateful whatever the outcome.

To control our expectations is to master the capability to listen to our senses. We have to believe in ourselves and to be conscious we have not all the answers at hand. We have to trust our instincts and to fine-tune our mind and body with the lessons we extract from every situation presented to us. We have to learn how to read the environment in order to choose an approach, which [at the present moment] appears to provide the best probabilities of a successful outcome.

Mind and body training are important tools, which help us to improve ourselves; to be better prepared to control our expectations. We have to perform our training by ourselves, even if we have been guided by someone else. We have to be ready, to be prepared to go fishing at any time, anywhere. We cannot do a pause on life and expect no change to the outside.

When we realise life is all about expectations, we are able to see the light even when in the darkest situations.

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...
