In the practise of tolerance, obnoxious people will test your inner peace all the time. They will laugh about everything you do. They will spread fake news about your skills, personality, intentions, relationships, everything that puts you in a good and highlighted position. They will try to brainwash you to make you believe you have a psychological problem, to make you believe they are trying to help you with the way they interact and behave, as part of a strategy to make you see for yourself you need help. Everything to disturb your inner peace; to make you manifest your anger; to put you in a difficult position. The moment you start to recognise what are the true colours and intentions of obnoxious people surrounding the self, it is the moment you gain more awareness, clarity, and peace of mind to continue practising love and compassion attitudes.


While facing situations where people start being obnoxious towards the self, we have a wonderful opportunity to learn and practise how to control our own emotions. It is through the practise of our mind training we are able to recognise the manifestation of negative emotions, regarding a specific situation we feel uncomfortable about. By taking samples of such negative manifestations we can learn the patterns about what triggers, internally, the experienced negativity. Like Buddha, the enlightened one, we could start observing, analysing, understanding, and getting conscious about what happens in the present moment, instead of blaming the self in an out of understanding belief regarding the presence of psychological problems. The moment we realise the power of our own mind, it is the moment we understand we are not able to deal with anything properly out of consciousness.


Thus, the first step to start strengthening the self, boosting the confidence to tap into our true nature, is realising the intrinsic inversion of control of life experiences, while facing challenges anytime, anywhere, and at any circumstances. We could not impose control over something on the outside, but we could, and we should, control the self regarding anything we are experiencing. By exercising such inversion of control we become aware about who we really are, which implies we get ready to start learning from any source, including our own suffering. The more we do it, the less we embrace suffering and its associated negativity.


The power to control our own life is deep inside. The power to manifest positive emotions towards the self, and others, is within our own mind. The capability of tapping into the unlimited power of our own mind depends on the ability to use our consciousness, no matter the circumstances. The moment we realise how to learn what could not be taught, it is the moment we understand how to acquire knowledge to understand our own suffering.

  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...
