We have to build our inner peace like a potter builds a pot. It is a personal, detailed, cyclic activity, which is performed step by step to achieve the expected result. Inner peace is done the same way, as we have to mould our emotions and reactions to deal with negativity all around.

Inner peace is not something we achieve in a snap of fingers. It is something that takes time to build, to achieve its full potential. It is with inner peace we are able to control negativity inside. It is with inner peace we control our thoughts, which are personal and private, to filter what stays within and what comes out.

Inner peace can be recognised as a stationary state, a peaceful and static way to deal with daily activities. It is more than the eyes can catch. Life is impermanent and in constant movement, internally and externally. Inner peace is to master the internal movement of our mind, our thoughts and our emotions, in order to keep them controlled, to establish an internal filter of negativity to deal with the impermanence, the constant movement of the environment we are surrounded by.

Inner peace is one of the attributes required to master the four elements, and its associated properties. It is with inner peace we achieve the peaceful required to perform mind training, to enhance the self, and to be kind and compassionate with unpleasant, obnoxious people.

We have to master the calm of earth to be stable and strong in the face of awful situations. We have to master the energy of fire to know the right time to move. We have to master the element of water to renew our perspectives and reinvent ourselves as much as required to live a meaningful life. We have to master the essence of air, to know how to breathe properly.

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...
