Nothing is too big to deal with, and nothing is too small to be mistaken as something with no value. It is always a matter of perspective. It is always a matter of genuine motivation. It is always a matter of surpassing our own limits. It is always a matter of understanding not faith. Many could try and fall but what is suffering for a conscious mind? We would never know if we do not try.

What is understanding? One may ask. It is a wonderful question, indeed. To realise what understanding is, let us think what faith is. Think about two related words: believe and trust. Do we believe in what we trust? Or do we trust in what we believe? The answers of those questions require something we are interested to know the meaning of. Do we trust in what we understand? Or do we understand everything we trust? What a huge bag of questions to make a reason for. Let us reflect a little bit more: Do we understand what we have faith for? Or do we have faith in everything we understand? It is indeed something we have to think about, getting a clear view by ourselves.

Let me try to put some clearance in our reflections. Imagine we are on the top of a mountain, walking blindfolded, close to the edge of a cliff. Someone says we could keep walking around with no worries about the cliff. We have no training in walking blindfolded, and no skills to compensate for the absence of our vision. In that situation, if we keep walking around, do we have faith or understanding? If we fall to the cliff, who has made the decision? Is it someone else’s fault we have decided to keep walking around?

Let us think about the word influence. Do we get influenced by what we have faith for? Or do we have faith in everything capable of influencing ourselves?

What we need to answer all of the aforementioned questions, is what we would like to know the meaning of.

I think I get the meaning. One may say. Awesome! The moment we realise the meaning about what we are looking for, it is the moment we know what being conscious is all about.

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...
