The moment we start to embrace the balance between light and darkness, it is the moment we start to get more and more relaxed facing unpleasant situations, no matter whether we receive stimuli originated from the environment, the obnoxious attitude required to practise our mind training in the face of darkness. It is like getting our bedroom totally prepared to lay down in a comfortable and nice rest. The more we respond to a negative attitude with a kind gesture, the less we let that negative energy contaminate the self, enhancing our inner peace towards a higher level, one step after the other.

How could a person identify an obnoxious situation? One may ask. It is not always easy to identify an obnoxious situation, which if viewed from a positive perspective, can be an awesome opportunity to practise our mind training. We have to tap into our instincts to see the person separated from an observed state of suffering. We should ask ourselves: Is an observed act of anger motivated by scenes that just happened in the present moment? Is there another motivation behind such an obnoxious act?

We have to observe all the situations we experience in the shoes of an investigative eye. It is by reasoning we get confronted by the following questions: Is the observed situation performed on purpose to get us out of mind? Is the observed situation performed on purpose to make us to be viewed as a fool to a specific group? Is the observed situation an attempt to simulate something we are not aware of at the present moment? In summary, what is the origin of the state of suffering presented by such a person we face at the present moment? The moment we realise the answers, it is the moment we start carving understanding from them.

We have to be soft on ourselves, being kind towards our actions, compassionate towards our observations, analytical towards our reasoning, and non-judgemental towards our understanding. If a group of persons selects us to make fun of, spreading the word we are a fool, a puppet in their hands with no possibility to know the intel behind the behaviour presented, one thing we can do for sure is taking advantage of that opportunity to enhance our mind training.

A fool becomes wise the moment the negative charges from the environment approaching the self are controlled and responded with a kind gesture, no matter how the judgement passed by any group. What matters most is that we recognise and embrace our true nature. Everyone is a fool while in a state of suffering, as everyone can become wise the moment a step is performed out of such a state.

We are not obliged to jump into the cliff just because everyone around us is doing it. We are not obliged to violate a red light just because everyone around us is doing it. And we are not obliged to accept and incorporate anything out of understanding just because another wants it.

With inner peace comes balance, a relaxing sensation we could take advantage of anytime, anywhere, the moment we remain conscious and awake.

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...
