Buddha, the enlightened one, has disseminated wonderful teachings about the observation, analysis, and understanding of our own suffering as a way of liberation, freeing the self from negativity we may have incorporated deep inside. It is by using our consciousness, and the unlimited power of the mind capable of achieving a peaceful state as a foundation of its manifestation, that we can observe the self and the surroundings in an inquisitive and non-judgemental attitude. The moment we use our consciousness to observe, analyse, and understand the fabrications and illusions we have contact with, it is the moment we understand the unlimited power we have at hand, and why performing our mind training is the right way for achieving peace of mind.


Achieving peace of mind is part of the process for enhancing the self, while walking the path towards a meaningful life. Such achievement is neither an easy task nor a permanent result. It is, indeed, something we have to keep practising, reaching a new and higher level every time we step into our own personal evolution. Peace of mind comes with the understanding about what we are dealing with in the present moment, resulting in acquiring the knowledge required to rule our mind, while keeping the manifestation of emotions under control.


Love can only be fully experienced while our mind is at peace. Hate can only be understood while our consciousness is ruling the mind for controlling the manifestation of negative emotions. Suffering can only be observed, analysed, and understood through the establishment of a peaceful state of mind, which creates a shield against negative conditioning influencing the actions of the unconscious mind, as extracted from the wonderful teachings of Buddha.


The idea of self-enhancement does not come free of charge, but it results in the evolution of the species by our own personal efforts to become the best versions of ourselves at our own pace.


The moment we realise there is nothing more powerful than our own mind, it is the moment we understand why understanding suffering is not the end but the middle of understanding life itself.


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...
