The prison we may see as part of an illusion we are inserted into is holding the self just because we are deep into a state of suffering, where we could not open our wings to fly, exploring the benefits a conscious mind could offer. We start accepting anything out of understanding, which implies being unconscious about the performed actions, and the path being followed. We may be on the move but we are actually static in the same position, unable to fly out. The bars, the prison we may see through the illusion of the mind are not holding the self, they are just there to remember negative emotions, or feelings we may have experienced in the past, freezing actions in the present moment. The liberation from such an illusion represents being conscious about what happens within, and in the surroundings, in the present moment.


Liberating the self from the fear of a possibility to experience negative emotions is an important step to understand suffering like Buddha, the enlightened one, has done in his time. It is part of our evolution, stepping out of the illusion of being controlled by our emotions instead of ruling them. When we are following the negative conditioning we have been subjected to, we may have difficulties to see through our naked eyes we are in control. Events in the surroundings, such as the presence of a pandemia, may influence the negative sensation of being into a prison with no walls or bars. No matter how harsh the environment we are living in is, and how challenging the situation we are experiencing becomes, such a sensation is an illusion.


By keeping consciousness at hand, and establishing a reasonable ground to build knowledge based on observation, analysis, and understanding, we prepare the self to step out of such an illusion, expecting nothing but our own evolution. Clear thoughts, conscious acts, and a peaceful mind are just the results we get from the moment we become the ruler of our own mind.


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...
