Inner peace and inner balance are not about being insensitive and cold hearted. It is about putting the instinctive reactions to the fast and unpredictable events occurring around us into a controlled mode, where even if we are not consciously in the driver’s seat of our own reactions, we are able to watch and act upon what just have happened at the right time, and with the right pace, which characterises the moment the unconscious become conscious. It is about to use the element of water wisely, renewing and transforming liquid and solid states as we please.

Inner peace and inner balance are two fundamental characteristics to achieve full consciousness about what is happening within and in the surroundings. It is with inner peace we are able to learn from unpleasant situations, improving the way we deal with obnoxious people and unexpected scenes. The more inner peace we achieve, the better it is the use of kindness and compassion in the middle of negative and dark scenarios.

Inner peace is also required to achieve inner balance, the characteristic of keeping the darkness and light we have within ourselves at equilibrium, with a similar amount of charge in each side of the mind scale. The more we embrace darkness, the heavier its side becomes, the easier we lose our mind. The more we put our head unconsciously just in the side of the light, the easier we become kind and compassionate, and the easier we are deceived, we become naive, losing our capability to be an observer of life, our power of investigating and understanding the relationship and impermanence of the universe, the environment around us.

 It is with mind training we walk at our own pace in the direction of light, carrying the right amount of darkness within ourselves to remain in peace, keeping the inner balance at the right position, with little or no disturbance to our life force.

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...
