Being kind and soft at the present moment is nurturing the appreciation of the self, the positive feelings we feel about being alive, walking our path and living a meaningful life. It is facing discrimination with a clear perspective, indifference with an open heart, and injustice with a kind, compassionate, and fearless attitude. It is facing judgements, gossip, and negativity with clarity of mind. It is enjoying life no matter how unfair, inmoral, and obnoxious an environment is. It is like being in the jungle, facing a deadly threat with a genuine and sincere smile, a lovely figure with a heart of a lion and the strength of a dragon, capable of self-defence if required but hoping such a threat to either get out of suffering or realising a strong mind is capable of the impossible not by force but by will.

How could I face something I have negative feelings about? One may ask. With no consciousness we could observe the use of an approach denoted and represented well in a tv series called “Cobra Kai”, which is characterised by the following sentences: “Strike first”; “Strike hard”; “No mercy”. It is, in summary, using the attack as a mechanism of defence, offending someone else before getting offended, yelling at another for intimidation, attacking the morality and dignity of a person to trigger a response to such an attack that uses the same awful values. An unconscious mind is willing to fall into such a trap, a kind of negative psychology that justifies nothing regarding the negative response obtained. No understanding is required, as there is no excuse for any kind of negative behaviour but the observation of suffering at its best. The moment consciousness is on the table, the scene can be observed in a positive perspective. We are able to see clearly that before any strategy adopted we require understanding of the situation. With no understanding there is no effective and efficient strategy to face anything. With no consciousness we get ourselves out of the present moment, dealing with something that can be characterised as an illusion. As we can see, illusions are mind traps, and mind traps are the stages of suffering, clear as crystal. The more we embrace such kind of negative psychology, the more we fall deep down into suffering and its negative consequences to the mind and body. If we have negative feelings about something, it is always the best option to understand it first before jumping right into an unconscious action. The understanding of suffering is what makes us realise the negative sources hidden in the back stage, the illusions generated by negative emotions, the “sacrifice to the Gods” hoping for their mercy, and expecting to get something in return from such a negative offering.

Understanding is what makes us kind, compassionate, and lovely creatures. It is through the power of the mind we can develop a royal heart of a lion and the infinite energy and strength of a dragon, capable of spreading love all around no matter the circumstances.

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...
