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 dealing with in the present moment. Buddha, the enlightened one, has given wonderful teachings about the use of our consciousness to observe, analyse, and understand our own suffering in a way we could diminish the negative outcome related to it, which is kept confined within our own perspective and relativity. Thus, the moment we experience suffering, no matter where, we trigger our consciousness to be the watchdog of the situation, preventing the self from being affected by the negative energy received from the environment, which may be related to the suffering experienced by another. 

We have to learn how to walk away safely the moment we receive a direct and negative blow, as another mind experiencing suffering may get the fixed idea to keep coming after us until we embrace a similar state of suffering.


The more we use our consciousness to perform our mind training, enhancing the self to be prepared to face different flavours of obnoxious situations, the more we step towards achieving higher levels of inner peace.


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...
