By observing nature and having contact with different phenomena it manifests, we can get a better awareness about what impermanence is, and how understanding its modus operandi can be astonishing in the training sessions to achieve peace of mind. We get a better sense of change, continuation, break, appearance, disappearance, light, and darkness. We realise a tree does not manifest itself complete and tall on the first day. A tree, actually, faces the challenges presented by the environment to become stronger, adapting to the conditions imposed as best as it can. By looking around a little bit more we can understand why adaptation is the key factor of evolution, and why evolution is changing the present to enlighten a brighter future.


We have to rule our mind to not get frustrated if things are not going as we have expected, or planned. There are so many variables involved in the process of living a life that, even if we could enrol in the task of accounting every single variable on our path, we probably would miss something in-between. Sometimes what we observe is the manipulative work behind the scenes of so many actors we have no clear knowledge about,  that our mind training has to be focused on dealing with the results we can be aware of. Dealing with the sensations within our own body is a proof of that.


While we observe pain, discomfort, distress, relaxation, or any other sensation we can think about, there are tiny reactions happening deep into our cells, producing, consuming, building, and destroying things required to manifest the sensation we feel. The trigger of some sensations sometimes is unknown and beyond human comprehension, and training our mind and body is what puts the self into the ruler position, controlling mind and body to master the unlimited power of the living universe we have within.


Buddha, the enlightened one, was the master of observing the self, nature, and how his suffering was related to everything he was experiencing. Buddha has extracted wonderful knowledge from suffering, which nature represents as the rising of a lotus flower from the mud. We just need to observe ourselves to understand we have no match on the outside, as all the motivation and power we need to achieve peace of mind are within.

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 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...

  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...
