On this special day, where we remember the support to stop racism, we have to realise racism is not anything but the manifestation of hatred against another human being just because the difference annoys the unconscious mind, which is in suffering and manifesting that suffering through awful actions and behaviours. Racism is not patriotism. Racism is not the “good families” against the “bad ones”. Racism is not “the right way to deal with someone” just because a group of persons has decided it. Racism is racism, and it is the manifestation of hatred through discriminatory acts, and that is clear as crystal. However, we have to observe ourselves to prevent the dissemination of racism. In racism, the jump into conclusions is observing another instead of observing ourselves. The other has everything that we think is not good, while we have everything that is best for any situation. A fabricated illusion restricting our own capability to grow.


The slavery movement is is an event in history where racism was manifested at its highest levels. It was the imprisonment of human beings, forcing them to work and live in awful conditions, supporting the luxury and high standards lifestyles of few. It was an event in history with huge suffering and a lesson we have the duty to forget no more: the violation of human rights of a person should not be justified by anything, specially our silence of embracing discrimination instead of promoting a kind and compassionate environment where such awful behaviours are no more.


An unconscious mind could say: “That behaviour we engage, and the actions we take, are just valid to that one. Everyone else is treated with respect, according to the laws but that one has no rights at all”. An unconscious mind does not realise it is indeed an act of racism. An unconscious mind does not realise to stop racism we have to stop the idea that another person has no rights at all. An unconscious mind does not realise everyone has the same fundamental rights established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.


How we could fight racism? One may ask. We need no fight at all, as what we need is getting conscious about the fact that the moment we observe ourselves to act with kindness and compassion with anyone, no matter who the person in front of us is, it is the moment racism is no more.


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...
