The race of life is what it is. It is not a competition but an individual journey separated by the boundaries of the self. Each one of us performs our own mind training, with our own strategy required to face challenges at the present moment. The environment, the challenges, the pressure, the mindset, the observation, the analysis, the understanding, the combination of everything results in a unique formula to deal with darkness. Each formula has better results for a set of challenges and specific environment conditions, in a similar way a runner does not use the same preparation to face races with different distances. The secret is not in the isolated parts, in neither theory nor practise alone, but the combination that makes us adaptive creatures, capable of creating formulas to deal with darkness at our own perspective and relativity.

If you think you are not able to face the challenges you are experiencing at the present moment, I suggest you to think twice. We are the masters of our mind, and each one of us is the only person capable of facing such challenges. We have to perform mind training, indeed, but it is up to us to realise what kind of mind training we need, and which characteristic of the self requires either development or enhancement. There is no other person able to live at our own perspective and relativity.

We may guide our actions according to the teachings of Buddha, but we have the rights to accept or reject such teachings based on our own experience obtained by observation, investigation, analysis, and understanding of our own perspective and relativity. It is, in summary, what Buddha himself has applied to extract the beautiful lessons disseminated worldwide.

If you think you are not capable of doing the same as Buddha, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position, deep inside a state of suffering full of fear and negativity. Are people not fair? Good, you have the opportunity to observe what unfairness looks like at your own perspective. Are people dishonoured, acting on your back all the time? Good, you have the opportunity to observe what dishonour looks like at your own perspective. Are you becoming a person that is dishonoured, acting with no fairness? You are still in a state of suffering, with your third eye closed to the fact you are in control of your own life.

The moment we realise we have to enhance the self, embracing the impermanence of the universe to change the way we deal with the charges of negative energy we are exposed all around, it is the moment we gain consciousness about the present moment, which means we have already started to face the presented challenges. Consciousness is what bound us all.

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...
