In scenes, situations, or environments where we have to face challenges originated on the outside, it is a good strategy to observe, reason, and understand the situation before making an important move. Consciousness plays an important role in the execution of that strategy, as without consciousness we are not able to put it in practise. The moment we let the unconscious mind assume the driver’s seat, with little or no care about what is happening in the surroundings, the probability of slipping and sliding on the road of life is very high, configuring a big step into a state of suffering that may bounce on the road itself and its vicinities. The moment we realise we cannot control what is happening on the outside but we can prepare ourselves by performing our mind training, it is the moment we understand every experience, good or not good, provides us useful knowledge to enhance the self.


We need to take care of ourselves as a foundation to take care of someone else. There is no way to achieve inner peace the moment we are dependent on something external, out of our control. Anything coming or happening on the outside can change in a snap of a finger, and we can do little or nothing to control that change. Depending on that is like getting blind-folded into a car, where we put ourselves on the passenger’s seat, having little or no understanding about what is happening in the present moment, and being guided by a conditioning that taps little or nothing on the huge power we have inside.


The idea of awareness is a complement into the journey of activating the different levels of consciousness we are able to achieve. Awareness says to recognise what is happening in the surroundings while consciousness deals with the choices, the decisions we have to make, regarding the inputs received from that recognition.


The union of consciousness and awareness starts a process of awakening the self, a fundamental step for manifesting the power we have inside. The moment we start awakening the self, and recognising the knowledge present on experiences we have had contact with in the past, it is the moment we understand that helping another is nothing more than an exchange of knowledge supporting the process of making our own decisions.

  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...
