The light is always generated from the inside, which could be carried like a lamp. Wherever we go, whatever we do, and whoever we meet, our light is always with us, even if sometimes the moment suggests it is not. The more we perform our mind training to unleash the use of our light, even in those moments the negative conditioning is kicking in hard our unconscious mind, the more we learn how to diminish the negativity derived from such conditioned behaviour, which is apart from our love nature. It is a lifetime commitment with our conscious self that is able to acquire more and more knowledge, being an easy target for hatred culture. The moment we realise we have the power to control the course of our own life, but we are powerless on the task of controlling the suffering of another, it is the moment we understand sometimes the path towards a meaningful life is the hardest one, where imposition has to be faced as a motivation to break the circle of suffering as soon as possible....

Like water that changes the form of a rock, your enemies will constantly hit you with negativity on your both conscious and unconscious systems to make you sad, anxious, depressed, angry, and so on. Be different of a rock and let the constant hits change you as you please, improving your peace of mind and strength. It is time to realise our love nature is connected to the universe in many different ways, and we just need to open our third eye to see it clearly. Do not blame the self if managing how to deal with obnoxious situations has not been mastered yet. Everything we experience in life is unique, and we could not predict how any scene, mainly the obnoxious ones, will escalate, and what kind of challenges we will have to face in the near future. A more beneficial approach is performing our mind training to establish a non-judgemental posture, which is the foundation to start acquiring knowledge from anything, anytime, and anywhere. Knowledge acquisition is the support for obs...

When we look to the right place we are always able to find the right path we have to walk towards. It is a matter of looking deep inside to reveal our love nature, putting the self aside from any negativity we have contact with, any illusion we may be subjected to, and any fabrication our unconscious mind may enrol in. It is time to not get influenced by the grasping feeling promoted by the negative conditioning of the mind, using our consciousness and the knowledge we have acquired until the present moment to realise and understand who we are, and what wonderful things we are capable of by keeping our mind in a conscious and peaceful state. The moment we realise we are the only one capable of walking the path of our own life, it is the moment we understand chaos, silence, disturbance, and peace are conditioned and impermanent states we have to get used to observing, facing, recognising, and understanding while subjected to negative environments all along. If we put our conscious...

We have to get used to recognise entrances and exits we could not realise until they present themselves clearly during a scene we are experiencing. It is time to understand the relationship between what we think, what we experience, what is related to the work we are producing, and how everything is affecting the self, whether it is associated with suffering. If we get into the illusion that all the scenes we experience have little or no influence from what we do, think, or plan, we are just deep into a state of suffering, an isolated bubble not designed to enhance the self but to deteriorate it. The moment we realise we have to get out of such a bubble, it is the moment we understand the difficulties we experience in life, and the relationship with the knowledge we already possess. Let us do an exercise of thinking about the state of life we are in at the present moment, and every challenge we are facing no matter the environment we are inserted into. Sometimes we do not have al...

Sometimes we are deep into something, lost in space and time, that we need to take our hands off from anything we are embracing, or doing in the present moment. We need to pause a bit, using our consciousness to feel the energy of the universe as a spark of hope. Hope that represents an internal transformation instead of an external revolution. As ruler of the self, and true master of our mind, we need to realise and understand everything starts from within, and we are the only one capable of stepping out of suffering no matter the circumstances. The moment we realise how beneficial it is to pause a bit to be totally sure about what happens in the surroundings, and deep in the self, it is the moment we understand sometimes we have to feel the energy of the universe like the act of exchanging positive vibrations with it. The very first moment I have put my eyes on the picture associated with this text, the image of Goku [the fictional character of Dragon Ball] performing the gestu...

There are days where we have no choice but to face what we could not control, and there is no way to put the self out of the situation, preventing a direct confrontation with anything coming in our direction. For those moments we need, more than ever, a higher level of education, and being enrolled in mind training activities to help keeping a peaceful state of mind. The more we let our unconscious mind takes control, forgetting all the power we have at hand, provided by our consciousness and all the knowledge we have acquired until the present moment, the more we become just slaves of suffering, with no rights, no choices, and defenceless against anything, anywhere, and anytime. The moment we realise the importance of getting educated, it is the moment we understand why access to education is a fundamental human right. It is time to realise how powerful we become the more educated we get. The reason is clear as crystal as stated by the famous popular sentence that says "Knowled...

We could always use our consciousness to diminish the fog of illusions clouding our mind, and disturbing the observation of any event happening in the present moment. We could concentrate to differ and separate all negativity we have contact with, in order to take the opportunity to enhance the self by transforming darkness into light. It is time to realise whether we understand there is no beneficial path on darkness, darkness is always there, anytime, anywhere, and in different forms. The moment we realise how to use the negative power of darkness to boost the self, transforming a deteriorating energy into a creational, motivational, lightning, and singular source of love, it is the moment we understand why darkness and light coexist, and how we could use both in the benefit of all humanity. No matter how we try to ignore or put aside the existence of darkness, darkness is always there, and it will continue to be there as part of the natural and impermanent course of the univer...

Buddhist or not, the real problem is following the hatred culture. If you don't care you are deceiving someone, you are forever stuck in a bubble of suffering, the Samsara, even if you feel good about that. You have two choices: get out or stay in. If you stay in you have embraced darkness. Thus, get out and come to light. The moment we realise embracing suffering is deceiving the self, it is the moment we understand why any illusion is a fabrication of our own mind. Emptiness is a wonderful concept that is in the centre of the understanding of the self, and our own suffering. It has everything and nothing, depending on the perspective we observe it, even when we know we have no means to do that. I understand emptiness as the true balance, the ultimate peaceful state representing the perfection of wisdom, which is described by the Heart Sutra in the core of Buddhism. I like to use an analogy to promote a better understanding about what emptiness is, using the theory of relativity...

There is something imprinted into our love nature that we need our consciousness to access properly: the unlimited power of our own mind. Our consciousness can tap into such unlimited power to accumulate all negative energy we have contact with, no matter if it is generated from the inside, or has been coming into our direction from the outside. We can transform such a huge negative power we have accumulated for a few moments into something positive to the self, driving the enhancement and evolution of humankind. Negativity turns into concentration; concentration into motivation; and motivation results in liberation of all negativity in the form of the power of love at our very bare hands. The moment we realise how to start paying attention to such a wonderful transformation we can perform from something feeding the worst of humanity, it is the moment we understand why suffering is no match for a conscious mind, as love is the ultimate secret to diminish darkness. Concentration i...

It is time to learn by ourselves how to deal with obnoxious situations where we see no end, as such behaviours may be rooted in beliefs transmitted from past generations, which has nothing to do with genetic inheritance imprinted in our DNA, but dissemination of negative traces apart from our love nature. It is time to observe, analyse, and understand our own suffering in a way we could relate it to the suffering of another, which is the foundation to perform a strong step towards the next level of inner peace. The moment we realise our self-study is the only way to free the self from the cultivation of negativity, it is the moment we understand the roots of our own love nature. What is the first thing that comes to mind when we experience an obnoxious situation? Are we uncomfortable with the behaviour of another that is apart from our love nature? Could we control the behaviour of such a person like we can control ourselves? In the search for answers to the aforementioned questi...

One of the big challenges to deal with is facing the negative conditioning related to expectations versus frustrations. It is time to realise suffering quicks in by the front door the moment we get not prepared to the fact we have no control about anything outside the self, which includes future events that we may expect to happen. It is easy to get disturbed if we grasp on our expectations and we get nothing that we have waiting for. Embracing the hot and cold exchange between expectations and frustrations is what could induce an unconscious mind to step into a period of suffering. The moment we realise how to create expectations but not be consumed by them, it is the moment we understand how to get the most benefits to the self in every situation we experience. There is a huge difference between what we expect and what we experience in the present moment. Expectations are fabrications of our mind to feed the self about something we are waiting for in a future moment we have no ...

It is our duty to prepare the meal for the self, which may be whether a delightful experience. If we concentrate on negativity, feeding the self with emotions that only contributes to deteriorating our love nature, we are just embracing suffering, acknowledging a life of spiritual disconnection, which is the true misery we could experience while walking the path of our own life. The moment we realise that we use material values to live our life but they are not essential to establish our true wellness, it is the moment we understand being close to nature is what makes the self powerful to face any negativity we may experience all around. We may have heard a sentence saying that knowledge represents power, and it is totally true. The knowledge about the self represents the full control of our own mind, allowing the walk towards the path of a meaningful life to become the ruler of the private realm no one has authorisation to enter but ourselves. The wonderful silence we experience...

We have the duty to pay attention to the beautiful flower inside the self, observing, cultivating, nurturing, and understanding the required steps, and processes we enroll in for its enhancement. Our internal garden is full of land to develop any kind of flower that is suitable to our love nature. Our consciousness, while in the role of a skillful gardener of our own existence, uses the tools of mind training to support the flourishing, and the protection of our internal realm. The moment we realise caring about the self is part of the process to keep shining our beautiful light, it is the moment we understand our mind is grounded on our live vessel we have to take care of. We usually talk about the need to keep performing our mind training in order to achieve peace of mind. Such a mind training represents the support of the flourishing related to our internal flower. However, we usually disregard that our live vessel is the vehicle we use to live our life within our own perspect...

We may consider the surpassing of challenges we are facing in the present moment as leaves that fall down in order to support the growth of something better; something involving the enhancement of what is already there: our love nature. Everything we experience contributes to what we are, and what we become. The moment we realise the kind of challenges we are facing, it is the moment we understand the amount of knowledge we could acquire through the use of our own consciousness. It is by using our consciousness that we get aware of anything happening in our own perspective and relativity, implying being able to observe the appearance, the relationship, and the details of the exchange of energy present in the impermanent state of the universe around the self. The presence of negative energy could teach a conscious mind lessons about what we cannot embrace, observing the possible consequences of such embracement when suffering kicks in by the front door. Positive energy comes to te...

We are making decisions all the time, and some decisions are hard to make. Emotions are involved. The breaking up from beloved ones is at stake. Separation from blood relatives is more than required. Sometimes to protect others we have to protect ourselves first. By taking such final decisions we may find the self alone, which is the best opportunity to know better our love nature that supports who we are. It is time to realise life is a self-employment activity, which is dictated by the plans, the actions, and the experiences performed by the self. There is no way for another to live a life on our behalf, even when we are experiencing a period of suffering. Thus, it is extremely important to understand consciousness provides us the ability to recognise where we are, what decisions we could make in the present moment, and which current state that we are able to observe deep inside, and in the surroundings, contributes to the acquisition of knowledge supporting such decisions.

While facing the sea with a lot of waves we are subjected to its strength, which means we have to use our consciousness to get advantage of it. Sometimes it is not possible to take a direct blow with no harm to the self, and it is for that reason we have to penetrate precisely in the middle of the wave to diminish its power, enabling us to pass through with little or no challenge. The more we learn how to take advantage of anything we have contact with, enhancing the power of our love nature, it is the moment we understand the only adversary that is extremely dangerous to the self is our own suffering. All the scenes we experience in life have, at least, two perspectives: a positive and a negative one. By observing a given scene from a negative perspective, suffering is the ultimate goal that is intended to be experienced, implying pushing more negativity in order to trigger the intended outcome. That is the negative perspective of a mind in suffering, which may get relaxed to ac...

Love is something that is deep inside, protected by our will to care about life. It is something we have imprinted into our nature, something that is part of what we are as living creatures. We have to learn how to flourish it as best as we can within our own perspective and relativity, regarding the challenges we face during the path of our own life. Enhancing the self to boost our nature, stepping into the path of our evolution, is what we have to do as superheroes of our own existence. The moment we realise how we can flourish our love nature, no matter how much negativity is surrounding the self, it is the moment we understand such enhancement is a silent sound of our wonderful light. In the middle of a darkest time we may get a little bit down about the need to keep facing negativity at a non-stop pace. We may feel sad, frustrated, implying the lack of motivation in the present moment. We may think it is better to accept, out of understanding, life is a bunch of negativity w...

If we think about practising kind and compassionate attitudes, we have to be conscious about what our breaking point is in the present moment, which means what kind of obnoxious behaviour we already know how to deal with properly. It is observing and evaluating the self in such a way we recognise exactly the difference between our love nature, and anything against it. The awareness about our mind training establishes our unique and internal love protocol, which represents the counterintelligence to face suffering and its related negativity, with similar but opposite peaceful measures. The strategy we use is adapted to our own perspective and relativity. The rules and steps applied are suitable to the characteristics of the self. The safe measures an extension of our imprinted love nature. Therefore, the more we perform our mind training in a conscious way, the more we keep ourselves empty from the negativity we have contact with. If we reach a point we start to question the self ...

The moment we achieve a higher level of consciousness we start to see, and experience things differently in the present moment. The more peaceful we become, the more obnoxious situations have to escalate in order to cause any kind of disturbance in the self. Such a peaceful posture may raise questions related to the no observation of any disturbance in presented behaviours, even being very clear about the negative conditioning imposed. Buddha, the enlightened one, has disseminated a wonderful teaching derived from the understanding of his own suffering, stating that no one can disturb our inner peace without our own permission. Thus, the challenge of our mind training is keeping enhancing the self, even clearly knowing the presence of difficulties right here, right now, which includes our own weaknesses. If we just give up to embrace anything generated on the outside, we are just accepting things out of understanding, stepping out of our own personal evolution. The more we enhanc...

The use of our consciousness enables us to see clearly everything we have contact with, removing the applied filter that negative conditioning imposes to the self. We are able to see the light in every single event we observe; we can feel the energy of love in the surroundings; We can elevate our concentration to achieve higher levels of peace of mind; and we can identify why we are doing what we are doing right here, right now. The moment we realise the connection between everything in the universe, it is the moment we understand why performing our mind training is an incremental use of consciousness. The idea of observing the self and everything in the surroundings is the base of knowledge acquisition, as it is from the recognition of the self, and the environment we live in, that we are able to understand who we are. We understand the needs of enhancing the self to overcome the challenges we are facing in the present moment, highlighting our uniqueness imprinted into our love ...

We have to be energised by our love nature while dealing with different kinds of obnoxious situations, which may escalate regarding the peaceful state we are experiencing in a given moment. The first, and almost easy one, to overcome is depreciative and bad jokes about anything related to the self. Do not get intimidated, frustrated, or disturbed by such jokes. Use them as a motivation to look deep into the self to appreciate what is inside. However, we have to get prepared to defend ourselves, as such jokes may escalate easily to something affecting our live vessel. The moment we realise the negative outcome of any obnoxious experiences is the disturbance of the mind, it is the moment we understand a peaceful mind has to be prepared to stop the actions of a disturbed one, as such actions may cause harm to any life we are aware about in the surroundings. It is easy to see that a disturbed mind is experiencing a period of suffering, which could be related to anything a person is d...

Do not assume it is your fault every time you have a moment where things are not working as supposed to. The moment we fall into the trap of assuming everything is ourselves’ fault, it is the moment we are already within a period of suffering. Instead, we have to observe the situation, analyse the scene, and search for an understanding about what happens in the present moment. The more we do such an exercise with everything we perform, mainly when it involves anything outside the self, the more we would be able to find out where the source of the current issue we are facing is. The moment we realise the higher intelligence we have contact with is the biggest source of knowledge concerning the issues we are experiencing, it is the moment we understand how to use it in our favour, while enhancing the self towards the path of a meaningful life. The idea of putting the highest trust in the self is derived from the use of our consciousness to observe, analyse, and understand everythin...

As we cannot control the actions of another, the best strategy we can use is enhancing the self, and acquiring the proper knowledge to establish our personal shield against all negativity we may have contact with in the present moment. The more we try to focus on the external, the less effective our defences against suffering are, as suffering is manifested from the inside out. Do not suffer by others' actions you may not agree with. You just own yourself. So, start paying attention to you and your reactions. You cannot change others' behaviour but you can change your behaviour. If your change is positive you may inspire others to change their behaviours too. The idea of enhancing the self is concentrated on what we have total control of: our own mind. If someone tries to get on our toes it is our duty to observe the situation, analyse the scene, and understand we may need new types of mind training, in order to overcome negative emotions rising in a given moment. We then get...

The moment we realise we are inserted into an environment where overcoming suffering is against of the values we observe all around, it is the moment we understand why it is so hard to do it with little, or no resources to keep moving, embracing the impermanence of the universe by changing from place to place, while enhancing our peace of mind. It is clear as crystal the conflict between what a peaceful mind would like to achieve, and why such an achievement could not be performed in an environment where human beings are still being considered slaves, and treated as the big enemies because they have achieved high levels of consciousness about what is really happening in the surroundings.

It is step by step that we draw our own stairs towards the enhancement of the self, which could be changed as much as we would like to, following the intrinsic impermanence dictating any event happening in the universe.

Sometimes we get into a period of suffering, which characterises living our life inside a static illusion that says everything is permanent, and we have no way of getting out from that current situation we are experiencing in the present moment. We get exposed to negative stimuli, and our unconscious mind embraces it. However, by using our consciousness, we are able to observe such a situation, analyse where the trigger of negative manifestations is, and understand anything we may experience is, by nature, impermanent. The moment we put the self in an external position we may have the illusion of permanence, grasping a fabrication of our own mind while observing another, as we cannot live a life on the behalf of that person. The more we realise impermanence is something we can only incorporate while observing the self, the more we understand our consciousness is the key to find our own way towards the path of a meaningful life. Practising our mind training means putting all of ou...
