Like the singular sounds of a partiture our life is made of singular moments to be played as part of what we call living. Sometimes we play just the right chord. Sometimes we use a tone that is just a little bit higher than what is required. Sometimes we just play a chord, which is not in compliance with the scene. Sometimes we just remain in silence because there is nothing to say about what we are experiencing. The silence we observe from the outside is wonderful but we have to understand the silence of conditioning. If we use any period of silence in our favour, no matter if it is promoted by ourselves or by the outside, we are able to realise the sight beyond sight about what we have to do to continue playing the right melody for enhancing the self.


We could look around, observe, and understand what the sounds in the surrounding mean to the present moment. We could question the self and the knowledge we have already acquired about different subjects. We could realise while we observe the world around us that we get observed in a different perspective, which makes us understand we can use such an insight in the favour of our mind training. 


We are able to remember the differences between the inner and the outer, realising all the events outside the self cannot be controlled by us but utilised in our favour if well observed and understood. That is the raw and pure essence of living: the observation of the self, the enhancement towards inner peace, the walking to the light, and the realisation that darkness is always there attempting to promote chaos, which, in fact, is just a conditioning with the goal of embracing negativity to promote the inner chaos ourselves. The moment such chaos is inside, suffering rises strong.


Conditioning is something we do all the time to enhance our performance. We perform physical training for conditioning our body to keep up with the workload we are able to experience. We perform mind training for conditioning our mind to put in evidence our love nature while facing all the challenges and difficulties life may present to us. If we use conditioning in our favour we get wonderful benefits from it.


The moment we let negative conditioning consume ourselves, implying embracing darkness and negative emotions while facing challenges and difficulties, it is the moment we stop playing the right chord to play something else.


Buddha has already provided a wonderful knowledge about conditioning that says no one could do anything to us without our permission. That knowledge is the essence of what conditioning is, and what it may represent to ourselves while walking our beautiful path. The moment we realise conditioning is present in both dark and light, it is the moment we understand how it can be an ally to benefit the enhancement of the self.


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...
