We may let someone, or something else, have control over a situation but we cannot let it be out of our supervision. There are an infinite number of possibilities where things may go wrong the moment we just walk blindly on the path of life, being not aware and conscious about what is happening in the present moment. We may have no issues and awesome flights even if we are totally unconscious and unaware of the journey. However,  a tiny little disturbance that requires our conscious intervention may be catastrophic, as the external is not capable of handling it properly, and the little knowledge we have about the case, and the time we get aware of it, reduces the number of possibilities we have at hand to save the day. The more we realise we are the only ones capable of controlling the self, the more we understand why consciousness is the foundation and the key for that control.


We may be used to getting into our comfort zone, letting someone, or something else, take care of things related to our life. It may be a conditioning we receive during our childhood, where we have little or no responsibilities about what we do, being imposed to do things out of comprehension, with no rights to ask questions, delaying the process of observation and understanding to a moment we would have to perform the rewrite of that blind and sleepy “passenger mode” program imprinted into our unconscious mind. 


While in childhood, we have little or no clearance of mind to say anything about the way our parents raise us. We start to understand what has happened in that past period ages ahead, if, one day, we are able to get conscious about all the events we have experienced during our life journey.


After getting conscious, and performing our mind training for a while, we are able to realise and understand what his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, is used to saying about the hygiene of emotions, and the needs of changing our educational system to accommodate observation, reasoning, and understanding at early ages. Such accommodation implies being conscious about ourselves, our mind, and the connection we have with the environment itself since the beginning, having little or no need to rewrite the blind conditioned “passenger mode” program we have received out of consciousness. It does not imply we have to be ready to assume the pilot’s seat at any moment, but it means we are conscious why understanding is the foundation to do it with no rush, and smoothly.


The moment we realise the meaning of asking questions, and being aware of what is happening within the path of our own life, it is the moment we understand the difference between action and reaction.


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...
