Ideas come to our mind by the use of our consciousness, based on observation and reasoning, which are important steps to reach the understanding about what we are thinking. With no ideas we have no promotion or production of useful knowledge, neither to enhance the self nor help others. With no ideas we have just the conditioning followed out of consciousness, and derived from the execution of actions we think little or nothing about their true purpose. We are not able to answer simple questions like: “what?”, or “why?”. The automatic and conditioned answers just come out from the month to say: “it is like that, and it was always like that”. The moment we realise the use of consciousness implies asking questions about subjects we would like to obtain answers, motivating the investigation and search of knowledge required to perform such understanding, it is the moment we understand enhancing the self to step out of suffering can only be achieved by conscious acts.


The difference between the conscious and unconscious use of any kind of knowledge is the capability of understanding what happens in the present moment we are using it. The consciousness knows the sequence of steps and why such a sequence is like it is, while the unconscious mind is an “executor machine”, which receives a bunch of instructions to execute with little or no interest in asking questions required to understand how something works. Consciousness analyses to react, while the unconscious mind reacts before passing the stick to the consciousness, which has the capability to analyse what has just happened.


By performing our mind training to enhance the power of the mind, and therefore the capability of using our consciousness any time, and in any circumstance, we are just teaching the self to put the unconscious mind on the passenger’s seat, assuming the wheel just with permission and supervision of the conscious counterpart. Consciousness asks questions to the self before asking to someone else. Could I answer that question on my own? Is there any available knowledge I can access and learn about a given subject? Am I able to perform my own experiences to advance the understanding of a given domain? Is there someone whom could provide some hints to help me acquire understanding, while walking on that journey?


The moment we start generating ideas to map and recognise anything happening within the self, and in the surroundings, it is the moment we understand the importance of having consciousness at hand, and the fundamental role of mind training while stepping out of suffering.


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...
