We think and we don't think. We act and we don't act. We see and we don't see. We feel and we don't feel. We believe and we don't believe. The impermanence and attachment are clear as crystal.

In every situation of our existence we have impermanence and attachment in the surroundings, and as gears of our life wheel. They are not in the control of our actions, but they can be used in order to perform such controlling activities.

Impermanence is the concept of change. It is the state of movement, a constant change of the present. Impermanence is attached to the present as it dictates the flow of life, the sequence of different scenes and actions we experience in the here and now.

Attachment, otherwise, is the concept of no change. It is the state of rest, the need to hold something in a static and controlled state. Suffering walks hand-to-hand with attachment. When something we are attached to changes, there is room for suffering.

When we think too much about a specific thing, we get attached to those thoughts, attached to the feelings generated by such analytical and reflecting time. When we perform the same action, again and again, we get attached to that performance, attached to the sensations we experience while deep in the work of action itself.

Attachment can be a source of self-destruction if it is not well-driven and controlled. It can be explored, and it can be utilised to perform ostracism. A person can be attached to something or someone before the performance of actions to either ignore or be indifferent to such person. It is a kind of psychological torture we can avoid if we eliminate the suffering associated with indifference.

The moment we embrace impermanence and be aware and conscious about attachment, it is the moment we can recognise both and never lose hope.

As the impermanence states: everything is at change. If we think we have everything under control and static, we are for sure attached to that illusion.

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...
