It is our duty to find a peaceful ground, where we can get all the available resources at hand, establishing our strategy to face anything we are experiencing in the present moment. Sometimes we could not see clearly how we would be able to do it, but we have to keep going, observing, analysing, understanding, and acquiring knowledge in such a direction. We need to trust the ability we possess to surpass our own limits, realising that no matter the challenge we are facing, our wonderful consciousness is able to find a way to deal with it. The secret is ancient and Buddha, the enlightened one, has provided an astonishing piece of advice about it: we do not need to surpass what is on the outside, we just need to trespass the barriers we have created deep inside.


By observing the impact of negative conditioning in the self, we are able to understand why the embracement of suffering brings no benefits at all. Negative conditioning triggers a greedy unconscious mind, which turns the beauty of impermanence into promotion of uncertainty all around. If you are able to picture what I am talking about, questions like "Should I stay or Should I go?" may pop in from time to time. And it is not because of the lyrics from a song we may enjoy listening to.


We may get influenced by the state of the environment we are living in to give up something we would like to do. The external conditions may impose additional difficulties we have not accounted for. We may feel sad, frustrated, and see nothing but the illusion that we have reached the end of the tunnel, and there is no light to follow. That is a fabrication of our mind, which may be derived from a period of suffering we are experiencing. Let us think together: is our higher intelligence giving up the assignment it has received? Is our higher intelligence capable of understanding right or wrong while performing its duty? Is our higher intelligence something capable of reasoning, or is it just a brainless entity following provided stimuli?


By finding the answers for all the aforementioned questions, we are able to realise and understand the role of consciousness within our own perspective and relativity. The moment we are out of consciousness, it is the moment we become puppets following orders we have no idea about the consequences. By using our consciousness, otherwise, we engage into the path of investigation, observing, analysing, and understanding everything, including the consequences of what we are doing.


There is no need to talk more about what we are talking. If we are able to understand what is our personal duty as a human being, it is certain that caring about life is the ultimate goal we need to keep in check, anytime, anywhere, and at any circumstances.


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 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...
