The imitation game. We go up on the top of a mountain in the search of silence. In the search of a quiet environment to meditate and to reach our inner peace. An environment with a characteristic we try to imitate on our crazy running daily life: silence.

The imitation game is quite obvious in the society we live, and sometimes it is required to survive within a negative environment. We have to imitate aspects of either desired or undesired situations in order to perform our practise; our mind training required to investigate and analyse what is going on in the surroundings. We must be conscious the imitation game is dangerous, as we may get contaminated by negativity and all feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and frustration altogether.

To cope with negativity and the destruction it may cause to our inner peace, we have to become our controlled negative version. The worst version of ourselves that must be observed by our conscious mind. To help us in that personal social experiment, we require [with pleasure] experience dealing with obnoxious people.

We must do the experiment alone, and in the privacy of our home, or in an isolated place such as the mountain in the picture. When we let negativity come into our brain, stimulated by the actions we have experienced while in the presence of obnoxious people, we are capable to understand why the worst version of ourselves emerges, and what is the source that stimulates our brain to make our behaviour so negative. We do it in silence, as we are in a walk meditation session.

The moment we finish the experiment is the moment we realise the source of suffering. The source of our frustration and feelings of insatisfaction.

We realise we need to meditate in silence. We need to be kind as much as possible. We need to be comprehensive with the same obnoxious people that have helped us in our personal social experiment. They are human beings as we are, and they are prone to experience the same feelings we have experienced in our experiment.

Be gentle. Be kind. Be brave. Be conscious.

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...
