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 when we start ruling our own mind is the experience we obtain while performing our mind training through meditative practises. While in meditation, we are totally concentrated in the task of making the mind empty, free from any thought capable of disturbing the self. After some practise we start to experience a wonderful feeling of relief every time we complete a meditative round.


The moment we start transcending the experience we acquire from meditation to our daily activities, it is the moment we start walking the baby steps for extending our well-being to another level. It is like learning to walk while in childhood. At the beginning, we may experience a lot of drawbacks to keep the right balance. However, the more we practise, the more we are able to understand how to walk properly with the help of no one in the vicinity. We may experience difficulties posed into the environment such as a slipping surface we are walking on, and it is ok; we can survive that if we use our consciousness to deal with the challenge accordingly.


Sometimes I ask the self: What is the hidden secret of Buddha, the enlightened one, that has made him achieve enlightenment? We may answer that question with the joke that Buddha has never met a Psychologist, as we know in actual society that mental states are evaluated by such professionals. However, the true answer is only in the mind of Buddha himself.


The moment we realise achieving peace of mind is a personal and unique journey, it is the moment we understand the need for feeding the self with things close to our love nature.


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...
