The source of self-enhancement requires overcoming our own Intelligence, an unnoticed drawback out of consciousness. I recommend any of you to visit the website of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which provides a source of knowledge about human rights related material. The moment we recognise our love nature in those fundamental rights, it is the moment we understand violating human rights of someone else is nothing more than violating and corrupting our own nature. If we are not able to see that, or if we believe there are exceptions allowing us to perform those violations, suffering is then part of our conditioned actions, and stepping out of it the only way to see what cannot be seen out of consciousness.


Let us use the wonderful intelligence we have access to through our brain, thinking about how changing the world is related to changing our own self. We cannot control or change another, and therefore we cannot change the world by changing or restricting the actions of an external source. Thus, changing the world starts by changing our own self, promoting our own evolution to step out of suffering in a conscious and meaningful way. 


I am Brazilian by birth, and after I have started to have contact with, and understanding the teachings of Buddha, I have realised the connection between the evolution of the self and the environment itself. Imagine if I get prosecuted, followed, censured, or even tortured by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) by any reason, or any circumstance. The unconscious strategy to deal with that, while stepping into a period of suffering, would be trying to stop ABIN to do anything with me by force. That unconscious strategy implies direct or indirect conflict, together with all negativity derived from facing a government agency by using force instead of a non-judgemental attitude of observation, reasoning, and understanding, which is required to answer the following question: why has such government agency interest in doing that?


By force we achieve nothing but chaos. By force we may use a popular conflict resolution strategy derived from a deep state of suffering that says: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. With that strategy at hand we may try to influence others to be obnoxious with someone we do not like, implying the only one clear purpose: the more enemies and conflicts established, the more suffering and difficulties observed with no need of spending time and resources for that.


The moment we get conscious about our love nature, being aware that chaos solves nothing, it is the moment we understand obnoxious situations can be used by a conscious mind to practise love and compassion attitudes, implying the realisation of a wonderful sentence of his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, that says: “Your enemy can be your best teacher”.


The moment we try to change or control someone else, it is the moment we are just feeding suffering deep inside. By changing the self to shine our light, and walking towards the path of a meaningful life, we are changing the world within our own perspective and relativity.


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...
