It is our duty to recognise the internal chains holding our huge potential, and such recognition is achieved by using the power of the mind through the activation of our higher consciousness. It is through such recognition we realise the challenges we face are just something we have to deal with, requiring no need for promoting the growth of negative energy inside. The challenges or difficulties presented to us, no matter from where or who, are better to be faced as revelations, the kind of knowledge we have to use as an advantage instead of a drawback. It does not mean it would be easy to overcome such challenges or difficulties; it means we account for them, we are aware of them, we are able to observe their extensions, and we could improve our mind training through the use of such knowledge as a leading motivation to become better and awake. The more we tap into negativity while facing challenges or difficulties, the more we put ourselves deep into a state of suffering. Instead of worrying we should see the current situation as an opportunity to achieve the impossible, even if such achievement requires changes while walking in the path of a meaningful life.


There is nothing meaningful and natural achieved by force or conditioning out of consciousness. It may work at first, as a short-term result, but in a long-term journey it would not be worth the cost, as the price would become too high to be paid. It does not mean we should not try conditioning ourselves to perform tasks in a more efficient way. It means we have to understand the moment we are executing an action in a conditioned way, out of consciousness, it is the moment we have no idea what we are doing but repeating instead of acquiring knowledge and experience. In replacement of brute force or pure unconscious conditioning, the approach promoted by Buddha himself, the observation followed by reasoning and understanding, works better in a long-term journey. Challenges and difficulties transform themselves from suffering to precious knowledge, which we can use while walking towards the light, the meaningful path boosted by kindness, compassion, and love.


We would face different kinds of reactions while walking the path and performing our mind training, from loud laughs of discouragement to difficulties of using tools and equipment. Anything external is just external, as what matters most is the nature of love we have inside.


The moment we realise we have to put aside negative thoughts, luxury included, it is the moment we get conscious to keep working in our mind training and the promotion of our inner peace, no matter the nature of what we are facing at the present moment.


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...
