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 perspective and relativity, implying taking care of it is as important as taking care of the mind itself.


As the beautiful garden we establish within our own mind is grounded on our live vessel, we have to understand the more we perform our body training aligned, and connected to our mind training, the better the results we are able to achieve. It is like not only taking care of the beautiful flower we have inside, but also enhancing and nurturing the ground it uses for its wonderful, and peaceful growth.


Buddha, the enlightened one, while searching for the understanding of his own suffering, has tried different methodologies and methods from different masters he has crossed his path with. Buddha has just realised infringing pain, and imposing a lot of difficulties to the self, in order to trigger suffering as a way of its understanding, was not suitable to himself. Instead, Buddha has enrolled in his own way of such understanding that involves the alignment of body and mind as a support of enlightenment. Thus, from that wonderful teaching we are able to understand that the more aligned our body and mind are, the less difficulties we have to face what cannot be faced out of consciousness.


The moment we realise our beautiful internal flower grows faster and easier if we are aligned within our own perspective and relativity, it is the moment we understand walking towards such alignment is also part of walking the path towards 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...
