Suffering is something we have to deal with by ourselves. However, it makes sense, the moment we could do it, not keeping the self within an environment where negativity dominates the scene. No matter how much kindness and compassion we generate from within, it would always be challenged by discriminatory, or even violent acts, implying the need to apply self-defence measures the majority of the time. The moment we remain facing negativity for a very long time, with no clear sight about an external change, it is the moment we understand peace of mind is what makes us move forward, embracing the good within, and renouncing anything related to suffering itself. Like Buddha, the enlightened one, we can choose to understand and free the self from suffering, instead of sacrificing the consciousness we have at hand.


There is nothing better than realising and understanding we are not able to control what is outside the self, being aware that no matter how good energy we are able to generate, the external would only resonate back the moment people on the outside step out of suffering by their own. We can remember slavery as an example of that. Slaves were treated like a disposable thing, and no single person was able to end such a terrible practise, as everyone recognising the atrocities of slavery was afraid to face who get the profits of human trafficking and labour exploration. The ones who have tried were prosecuted, or even hunted down.


The idea of keeping the self into an environment where negativity dominates the scene is only a matter of imposed restrictions, such as old marriages where the husband holds the possession of the wife, and she could not leave whether her rights had been violated.


The moment we get conscious about all the imposed restrictions,  which keep the self into an environment we are totally sure is against our own love nature, it is the moment we understand we could not live our entire life in such a place, having a similar realisation that Buddha has had, the moment he has decided to leave the palace to step into his own journey towards enlightenment. 


The more we realise our light is generated from the inside out, the more we understand we are not defined by what comes from the outside.


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...
