In a clouded environment, where we cannot clearly see the path we have to follow, it is time to concentrate on the self. However, how could I concentrate on the self, if the things I use from the environment are breaking down? Do I need a lot of money to follow the path of light, supporting all difficulties imposed by the environment itself? One may ask. The answer is not an answer but a reflection: if someone takes away our food, would we search for more food? Or would we start suffering and starving until death knocks our door? The time we realise the answer, it is the time we understand the origin of suffering. It does not mean it would be easy to follow the path of the light. It can be the hardest journey we ever have. However, a meaningful life is always a happy one.

Do not be afraid, it is time to realise we are human beings, and we have our mind power to overcome any challenge presented to us. We can be tortured, being treated in an unfair way, deceived, humiliated, being the target of the most incredible atrocities against human kind. Anything has just the power to change us in a negative way the moment we embrace suffering.

It is easy to say it if we are not experiencing suffering, one may say. It may be easy but the challenge of overcoming suffering remains. It is easy to have money to support a life in a more relaxed way, one may say. It may be easy but the challenge of overcoming suffering remains. It is easy to live a life where we have family to get our back, one may say. It may be easy but the challenge of overcoming suffering remains.

What is the point of repeating the same sentence after any comment exposed? One may ask. Well, what is the point of staying in a state of suffering if life is still there to be lived?
It is with consciousness we understand sometimes we let ourselves down in a state of suffering. It is with consciousness we can understand it is a hard burden to live in an environment full of negativity, with the sensation we are alone in the dark. It is with consciousness we understand the cost of embracing suffering, realising it is a price too high to pay.

The decision, the choice, it is always ours to make. We should ask ourselves: Is it enjoyable to get a better life from the suffering of others? Is it enjoyable to have a wonderful job, with a high income, based on an activity that harms the life of others by any means necessary? Is it enjoyable to play God’s role, putting oneself in a position of deciding what another can or cannot do with his/her life? Are you willing to pay the price of embracing suffering? As I have already said, the decision, the choice, it is always ours to make.

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...
