It is not an easy task working out on enhancing the self, and practising our mind training on a regular basis. No two persons have neither the same walking path nor perspective, as our persona, personal space, relativity, and sight of life are unique, and not the same. We work with the tools we have at hand. We practise within the environment we live in, and facing the challenges such an environment presents to us. However, we enhance using the same tool as the foundation: consciousness. The moment we realise enhancing the self requires consciousness at hand, it is the moment we understand why a meaningful life has similar traces even in different and unique places.


Everyday we wake up to face challenges life presents to us, conscious or unconscious about what lessons we could extract from those challenges. Some of the challenges are easy going, requiring little or no effort from our consciousness to keep focused, delegating to the unconscious mind the task of responding to any request in an automatic way. However, there are challenges we have no way to teach our unconscious mind about handling the environmental pool of events, as observation, reasoning, and understanding are fundamental activities we have to perform, in order to face any variation of the current challenge that may have the power to step right on top of our toes. Suffering is then manifested the moment consciousness gets out of the driver’s seat.


The consciousness any one of us has the power to tap into, as a way to search for knowledge, is able to provide us the wisdom of recognising within the surroundings the difficulties and the resulting behaviours we use as case studies of our own mind training. While performing such a training our consciousness separates anything that we are able to observe in some sense in two groups: (1) events related and close to our love nature; and (2) events apart from our love nature. If the environment we live in concentrates the majority of events within the first group, our training becomes focused on the wonderful aspects of our love nature we could enhance. On the contrary, if the environment we live in concentrates the majority of events in the second group, our training becomes focused on finding the right aspects of our love nature that have the power to diminish the negativity, chaos, and darkness we have contact with, in order to enhance the self. The purpose is the same but the training performed is completely different.


The moment we realise becoming close to our love nature is what matters most, no matter the kind of mind training we do, it is the moment we understand why loneliness sometimes is a wonderful tool to extract knowledge deep from 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...
