The world is a place with possibilities, which are at hand for a conscious mind. Sometimes we have not the opportunity we would like to but we have to be aware nothing is under our control, and that is why we have to make the most, by performing our mind training, with things which are. It is indeed a pleasure to attend to something we like, creating a pure and genuine moment of happiness like the one from an innocent child. The surprise is revealed to ourselves the moment we realise the power we have inside is what makes us wise.


We are learners by nature but how much conscious are we about that? By walking on the street and avoiding stepping into a hole on the sidewalk we are able to learn about the presence of such a hole in the present moment, an information we may use to keep us alert the moment we get to walk on the same street again. Acquiring such knowledge is possible by getting conscious about what is happening in the present moment, and what the configuring of the environment is.


By observing with a conscious mind the environment we are inserted into, we are able to draw the available possibilities, the threats, the tools, and how our mind is connected with everything we could have contact with. We may then choose consciously, and wisely, what we would like to do with the understanding and knowledge we have just acquired by such observation periods. We may realise negativity has a pattern, which we have to learn in order to focus our mind training in what may disturb our inner peace the most. One example of such a pattern is living in an environment where a specific kind of noise (e.g., the sound of a baby crying) may happen. If such a noise occurs in moments of work, moments we need our concentration the most, it does not help if we just change the work hours to a moment there is a less probability of the occurrence of the aforementioned noise, without being conscious about what is happening. It is much beneficial if we learn how to focus on a specific subject even in the presence of surrounding distractions, disturbances, or interferences. It does not mean we have to accept the presence of something that is out of our control. It does mean we have to understand the situation,  acquiring the required knowledge to make it a piece of the puzzle to enhance the self, instead of generating disturbances to it.


The moment we realise everything that is out of our control can be used to enhance our mind training, it is the moment we understand the magnitude of the power we have inside.


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...
