We are not able to change what is on the outside, the environment, the behaviours, the persons who we have contact with. By using our consciousness we are able to observe, analyse, and understand that liberating the self from suffering is a personal duty, and no matter how helpful we would like to be, we are powerless against the inability of a person to step out of it. Thus, we have to perform our mind and body training to be prepared to deal with the consequences of suffering, generated within the self and on the outside. The more we get aware about that, the more we get prepared to face what cannot be faced out of consciousness.


When we start to realise what a period of suffering brings to the self, recognising the ecosystem generated as a result of the illusions we are inserted into, we start to understand how deep such a hole could be, and how hard is the work we have to do with our personal training, in order to achieve higher levels of peace of mind no matter the circumstances. In the case of suffering, circumstances are bizantine, random, masked, and always happening with little or no knowledge of the conscious mind. Suffering is the result of actions that we are not able to deal with properly, the moment we get aware of their presence. Such actions may happen behind our backs, leading to the understanding about the meaning of "no expectation", which is one of the most wonderful pieces of knowledge we could extract from the Buddha's teachings.


Buddha, the enlightened one, indicates in his teachings that adaptation is a key factor for observing, analysing, and understanding suffering, being the most difficult characteristic to be learned by ourselves, as we have to be totally sure to differentiate embracing suffering from adapting the self to step out of it, as a movement of personal evolution.


The moment we realise how we could adapt the self to enhance peace of mind within our own perspective and relativity, it is the moment we understand what are the consequences we have to deal with when caring about life, and nurturing the love nature we have inside, are values we carry while walking the path towards a meaningful life.

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...
