Our state of mind is our compass that guides us towards the goals we would like to achieve. It is with a controlled mind we can deal with difficulties within the environment we live in. It is with a controlled mind we are able to recognise what we have to improve within ourselves, and what are the big challenges we need to overcome. It is with a controlled mind we rule ourselves to break the bind to the darkness, to establish a bound to the light.

We may get lost In the experience of negative environments or difficult situations. Our compass may get a little bit disoriented, with no indication of a clear direction to walk towards. At those moments of disorientation, with the sensation of loss, and the feeling of emptiness, we need our consciousness to take the driver’s seat of our mind.

It is with a controlled mind we are able to use our brain in a proper way. It is with a controlled mind we can recognise the rising of negative emotions, to attenuate its effects within our mind and body. It is with a controlled mind we are able to come to reason, to tap into our conscious and analytical modus operandi to stop the unconscious, to prevent it from taking decisions and control our life’s wheel.

It is with consciousness we train our unconscious to act with kindness, an ultra fast and reliable modus operandi of our automated task executor. We need our unconscious for fast reactions to the external stimuli, such as an unpredictable road problem, which needs an almost instantaneous action to the brakes of the car to prevent an accident.

It is with mind training we make our unconscious to act in a similar way our consciousness does, but very fast, with little or no interference of inference or reasoning processing.
It is clear as crystal we need to tap into ancient knowledge to recover from the past the value of nature, and to point our internal compass in the direction of the light. It is clear as crystal we have to incorporate our past generations, which are dormant within our DNA, to overcome old challenges dressed in modern clothes, and new shapes.

Many Buddhas have lived in the past. Many teachings have been provided, and transmitted throughout generations. Many ancestors have been prosecuted, and we still face the same challenge from many centuries ago: dealing with darkness and its associated suffering.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

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...

  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...

  It’s extremely important understanding why we need to step into our personal evolution, enhancing the self until we get totally aligned with our love nature and the universe itself. Such a fully alignment enables us to move as a whole unit combined with everything that make us alive, removing the need of the self, i.e., we become part of something bigger that is walking towards the same direction, consciously and meaningfully. We can imagine it as a group of people who have attained the same understanding of suffering, and therefore, any conscious decision regarding how to deal with negativity would be the same. Unfortunately, darkness uses a distortion of such a concept, which instead of promoting the use of consciousness, enforces the conditioning of the unconscious mind, implying individuals presenting the same behaviour by the simple fact they’ve been conditioned to do so rather than attained the same understanding to perform a similar decision. This minor yet fundamental dif...
