While within our own privacy we realise the needs of a place where only the self is permitted. Such a place is required to observe the self, reasoning about everything happening in the present moment, and becoming free from any negative conditioning we have contact with in the environment we live in. It is mandatory we have such a place to prevent negativity to mix within our love nature, which is only controlled by a constant push of consciousness to keep the self in an awake state, conscious about everything that is happening, including the experience of suffering. There are only three options available to walk the path of a meaningful life: (1) enhancing the self by getting a better position in society; (2) keeping defending the self against our enemies; and (3) connecting to nature, walking towards a simple but meaningful journey. Like Buddha, the enlightened one, the moment we realise negativity is so strong in the surroundings, it is the moment we understand we have to move, connect to nature, and find a place of light similar to the places where Buddha's statues were built.


It is time to realise everything about the self, and what is our role in the society we are inserted into. The moment we start to observe to self to understand our own suffering, it is the moment we realise no matter how strong we are in the use of our consciousness, and in the will to walk the path of a meaningful life, we could not do it properly if the community we are part of is not enrolled in a similar, meaningful, path. We are social animals, and we need each other to survive in a cooperative way. Even if we have different goals we could not make progress, tap into the evolutionary wheel of humankind, if we give more value to meaningless activities than life itself.


Buddha, the enlightened one, has shown the three jewels of practising our mind training that implies taking refuge in Buddha himself, the Dharma, and the Sangha, which is the community walking a similar path towards a meaningful life. The moment we realise where we are, and how those three jewels are related to the self, it is the moment we understand what we have to do to continue enhancing the self in 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...
