In a world full of illusions, where everything could be part of a period of suffering, we have to keep consciousness at hand to not lose [completely] the track of the path towards a meaningful life. Higher intelligence would be always in the surroundings, ready to disappear when suffering becomes active. Wisdom, a requirement to observe the situation even during moments when suffering is kicking in an entrance by the front door, establishing a settlement in a room of its preference. The most difficult scene is still observing, experiencing, and understanding we are only able to enrol in the cessation of our own suffering, being powerless against illusions fabricated, seen, experienced, and affecting another.


A question that has multiple unique answers, and no answer at all, is: Why do we suffer? That question poses an immediate period of observation, reasoning, and analysis of what we have experienced in life until the present moment. Some may associate suffering with frustration. Others would say disappointment. The truth is each one of us has to enrol in the search for an answer of that question suitable to the self, an answer so powerful that the result represents a peaceful state of mind. 


Buddha, the enlightened one, was one person who has acquired a stark answer related to his own suffering, representing the act of becoming enlightened. As a result, Buddha has stepped into a higher peaceful ground, where peace of mind is always attached to the impermanence of everything experienced.


Sometimes, while in the middle of a period of suffering, when consciousness becomes activated, we could also ask the self: Why do we need to understand suffering if we are experiencing a period of extreme comfort and pleasure? Some would say reaching such a comfortable zone, full of pleasures, is the ultimate goal to be achieved, no matter the circumstances. Others would just ignore everything else, enrolling in any activity able to keep the experienced scene as it is, with little or no disturbance related to the comfort, or pleasures acquired. A powerful illusion of luxury, settled by the keen desire to enrol into a fabricated relaxed state.


The moment we find a clear, and conscious, answer for the question "What are we looking for?", it is the moment we start understanding what we are experiencing deep into the self.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

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...
