While in the race of our path we have to concentrate our efforts to improve ourselves, to be better than we were the moment before, no matter what is going on in the surroundings. We have to be conscious about the tools we have at hand, the limitations we need to overcome, the ground we are at the present moment, and prepared to face anything coming from the outside that jumps right in front of us.

The improvement of the self is a solo race, a lifetime journey, which the challenge is clear as crystal: to be the better version of ourselves. The hard work within that journey is to prevent the outside from influencing the inside, from influencing our decision making process, and therefore from making such a journey harder than it already is.

We need to be conscious not to focus on a specific aspect of the outside world. We have to be aware the world is full of deception, which exists to disturb the natural balance between light and darkness. The profit of chaos is quite obvious through human and drug trafficking, and the resulting chemical dependency, which could be prevented at its roots. The more weak a person’s mind is, the more suitable to fall down into the exploration path that person is close to.

From moment to moment we have to analyse the direction we race to, and the requirement to investigate our own mind, and our own feelings. His holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, is used to saying we need to investigate, and we need to perform the hygiene of our emotions. Those actions are part of the self-care, the achievement of consciousness towards ourselves.

The speed we move towards the light depends on what we face at the present moment. There is no gain to speed up unconsciously, as it is easy to put a rock in the middle of the road to break the wheel of progress.

The moment we realise there are always distractions from the outside, it is the moment we are able to consciously recognise their existence, and to make progress in our mind training with help of their presence.

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...
