Even in the eminence of a thunderstorm, which may have the power to disturb the self the moment we step into a period of suffering, we can still cultivate [deep inside] the beauty of life anytime, and anywhere. Life is still kicking in no matter the circumstances, and no matter the challenges we are facing in the present moment. Buddha, the enlightened one, always says in his teachings in a direct [or indirect] way that the most precious thing we would have contact with through our entire life is right within the self. The moment we realise what such a thing is, it is the moment we understand what the path towards a meaningful life means within our own perspective and relativity.


I could not say to you, or anyone else, what steps to follow within the perspective and relativity of the self, as the only one who has access to privileged knowledge, which is required to make such a decision, is who is trying to walk. We could not judge another, or even make assumptions driving the self to pass a sentence about what we think another should do with his/her life, as he/she is on the outside of our sphere of influence, no matter what we think about the subject. We are free to live our own life, and to make decisions with little or no influence of another, as imprinted within our love nature.


While we are performing our mind training we could see, clearly, the influence of our consciousness within the behaviour we are experiencing in the present moment. Such a clarity of mind enables us to realise the extension and the potential of the power of the mind, and how beneficial it is to the self, mainly in the moments we are stepping into periods of suffering. It does not mean by learning how to use our consciousness we would become perfect creatures. It means we are able to activate a wonderful feature associated with our love nature, which allows the extraction of knowledge from any situation, periods of suffering included.


The presence of thunderstorms becomes manageable. The consequences of the chaos generated by the negativity we have contact with could be identified, observed, and analysed as part of the understanding we get from what we have experienced. 


The moment we realise how beautiful is the uniqueness of the self, it is the moment we start to appreciate what we have inside, stepping into our personal evolution, and walking the path of a meaningful life that makes surpassing our own limits a trace of our own existence.


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...
