We perform our mind training to achieve inner peace, the inner balance required to deal with any situation present to us, in the environment we live in. The moment we test our mind training, it is the moment we can recognise which are the strengths we have to enforce, and the weaknesses we have to diminish. We need mind training to remove the negative conditioning of darkness imprisoned in the path of suffering. The more we get close to our inner balance, the more we bound our connection between mind and body, the superhero strength carved like grounded stones at a waterfall.

What is your secret? One may ask. The answer is quite obvious, you can look in the environment, everything is available to us. We have all the elements: earth, fire, air, water, and our beautiful heart at our disposal. How beautiful is the impermanence of the universe, the combination of those elements in the cultivation of love, the nurturing of life itself. Life is precious, love is wonderful, and balance is needed.

If I get out of balance during my mind training, does it mean I am done? The confidence is at check, and the suffering is the easy path to follow. When we go to get a cup of water and we are not able to do it, as there is no water at the present moment, what do we do? We may suffer or we may try again, waiting for the availability of water or, if suitable, going to get water at a different location. The important thing is the understanding of the self and the environment itself. If we suffer, it is good to realise that suffering and to understand why it happens. If we realise the source of water has been deactivated, it is useless to wait for a miracle. We have to move on. Knowledge is at every path we take, we just need to realise that.

Criticism is at our door. Negativity is waiting for the first opportunity to get in. Some could say we know nothing about what we are saying. Others could speculate we are trying to copy someone else. The radicals would even enforce the need for an intervention, kicking in our door with imposed measures. What would we have to do? One may ask. The answer is quite obvious for this one: practising our mind training.

The moment we realise kindness and compassion are the source of inner peace, it is the moment we realise the importance of our mind training. I am afraid, one may say. There is a wonderful opportunity, one may conclude.

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...
