When we see the strength of nature we may get intimidated by something we have no control of, and therefore, we may enroll into a process of avoidance, preventing the self from having an experience our unconscious mind may find disturbing. It may happen with anything we have no control of, including another human being, until we get full consciousness about the unlimited power we have inside. The unconscious mind may be afraid of the unknown but the consciousness is curious to see where it starts, what its extent is, and where it ends. Buddha, the enlightened one, has indications in his teachings about the use of such a mindset while getting rid of his own suffering. The more we use our consciousness, the less we get afraid of anything in life.


It is time to realise that, in the majority of the time, we get afraid of the unknown, fearing something we have no control of. By enrolling into the feeling of fear that may be manifested into the self, we may step into a period of suffering that requires establishing control over, embracing negativity related to the fact we could never establish any true control outside of our own self. Our consciousness knows that but such knowledge gets locked deep inside, opening room to feed the illusion of power over another, using the support of society itself through the negative conditioning received from the periods where slavery was a common practise.


We may have contact with negative criticism, discriminatory jokes, sense of superiority, or even the inversion of control that makes knowledge a disposable thing instead of a foundation for our own evolution. Derived from such a contact we may step into a period of suffering where we embrace the sense of inferiority, the idea of considering the self less worthy than another. That is one of the biggest illusions we have to get rid of, while walking the path towards a meaningful life.


Buddha, the enlightened one, has disseminated his teachings in a way we get rid of our own suffering, being very clear we have to do it by our own efforts. Buddha may be considered by someone else a person with more rights than another, or worthy than anyone else in the room. However, his teachings indicate Buddha has considered himself as an equal with no special privileges. Thus, if Buddha would be treated with kindness and compassion but better than another in a similar situation, it would be a clear sign suffering is still there. The moment we realise that, it is the moment we understand why our consciousness is so important for achieving peace of mind.


As a consequence of our own reflections, we may find out fear is nothing more than a punishment to the self related to something we have no control of. In that sense, by the use of our own consciousness, we understand why a conscious mind faces fear without being intimidated by its negative energy.


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...
