Even when we are facing difficulties imposed by another, where the source is on the outside, out of our control, giving up is never an option to deal with a period of suffering, and the misuse of the higher intelligence we are capable of utilising. Walking away could be a possibility of consideration when we get prepared to face anything from the outside that involves more than only mind training, implying being prepared to hold the suffering of another that could cause harm to the self at some sort. Unfortunately, there are situations where we are powerless against the madness of a conditioned mind, mainly when such a mind is full of resources. The only thing we can do is enhancing the self, and getting wiser and stronger by cultivating a peaceful state of mind required to access the unlimited power we have inside.


When we are facing a situation where the control is out of our hands, we have no choice but observe, analyse, and understand the pros and cons of what happens in the present moment. The most difficult part is realising we could predict a lot of possibilities related to the next steps of an escalated chaotic situation, but we have to wait for a clear presentation of one of those possibilities, or another we have not accounted for, to take action towards the maintenance of our peace of mind.


Another important point that requires attention of our mind training is understanding all techniques we develop on our own, which are specific to deal with our own suffering, could be utilised for bad and deceptive actions against an untrained, and unprepared mind. That is why we need wisdom to use intelligence, stepping out of suffering to understand the huge power we may possess in our bare hands. Buddha, the enlightened one, indicates [indirectly] that important concern in his teachings, which is evidenced by the teaching related to the view of trust within our own perspective, and relativity.


Difficulties originated on the outside are powerless in the task of disturbing our peace of mind the moment we get prepared to face them. The more we get disturbed by anything from the outside, the more we need enhancements in our mind training, understanding the extension of our control, and the limitations of our influence on an external source. Instead of grasping the need of external control, we could perform mind training to exercise the inversion of it. If we have no control of something, and we are getting disturbed by that condition, it is easier to enhance the control of the self within our own perspective and relativity.


The moment we realise peace of mind is acquired one step at a time, it is the moment we understand such a state is not achieved by an on/off switch within the self.

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...

  It’s extremely important understanding why we need to step into our personal evolution, enhancing the self until we get totally aligned with our love nature and the universe itself. Such a fully alignment enables us to move as a whole unit combined with everything that make us alive, removing the need of the self, i.e., we become part of something bigger that is walking towards the same direction, consciously and meaningfully. We can imagine it as a group of people who have attained the same understanding of suffering, and therefore, any conscious decision regarding how to deal with negativity would be the same. Unfortunately, darkness uses a distortion of such a concept, which instead of promoting the use of consciousness, enforces the conditioning of the unconscious mind, implying individuals presenting the same behaviour by the simple fact they’ve been conditioned to do so rather than attained the same understanding to perform a similar decision. This minor yet fundamental dif...

  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...
