The karma you carry is as greater as the negativity you charge on you and spread to others. When you have been tortured, physically or psychologically at work, at school, in a prison, or even at your own home, thoughts of vengeance and hate may arise. Let them come and, most importantly, let them go away. Free yourself from negativity or negativity will free yourself from this life and many lives after that. The moment we realise we are in the control of understanding our own suffering, it is the moment we understand the answer of its cessation is on getting all precious knowledge from its conscious observation.


The more we manifest anger and hate in public, toward others, driven by a negative conditioning and guided by our unconscious mind, the more we let our conscious mind out of the table, embracing the negativity we have contact with in the environment we are living in. Buddha, the enlightened one, has wonderful teachings about understanding our own suffering, which pass by observing it by ourselves, alone, in the heart of our own privacy. The more we perform our mind training, the less we experience the full extension of suffering in public, and in front of others. We start controlling ourselves by letting the observation of our own suffering to the heart of our own privacy. Even if, occasionally, we get observed by someone else, the only one able to understand and get the precious knowledge from such observation is the self, as indicated by Buddha's teachings.


Everytime we feel the manifestation of negative emotions we have to take time to observe it, and understand what the trigger is. The more we understand the nuances of such a trigger, the less we let the manifestation of negative emotions rise to their full extent, while in public. We start realising we need to enhance our physical strength to support our immune system to become stronger, in a similar way our ancestors, who have walked this world closer to other animals, have done in their time. We become understanding the more we perform our mind training, the more we get conscious about what happens in the present moment, getting a clear idea about the characterisation of the situation we are experiencing.


If we are in a workplace where people are oscillating from being nice, and being a jerk, we have to stick with the nice behaviour until the jerk behaviour stops, or we get comfortable with the jerk while we look for another job. If we are in a relationship where our partner is oscillating from being nice, and being a jerk, we have to stick with the nice behaviour until the jerk behaviour stops, or we decide to walk alone to establish a new relationship with another person. If we are in an environment where our human rights have been violated, which imply any type of discrimination [religious, racial, social, and so on] we have to embrace our own love nature, being kind and compassionate until we can move to another place safely, and with the certain we can defend the self against any retaliation from another mind in suffering. That is why it is extremely important to sharpen our body and mind, establishing a strong connection between the two. We would need it the moment we have to face any type of attack, mainly the ones behind our back.


The moment we realise we are in control of our own existence, it is the moment we understand controlling the self by understanding our own suffering is part of our personal duty, while walking towards the path of a meaningful life.


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...
