When we are in a scenario where we do not feel being a part of is the moment we need our consciousness the most. The feeling of lab rat could be described by the conscious act of not identifying the self with the behaviour observed in the environment we are inserted into. Keeping peace of mind prevents opening room for negative conditioning. As a consequence, the more we use our consciousness to walk through this type of scenario, the more we shield the self against any negative energy we have contact with. By doing that, we diminish the probability of generating such negativity from the inside out, even at moments we may step into a period of suffering.


From time to time we may be exposed to situations, environments, scenes, or persons presenting behaviours we have little or no identification with, implying those behaviours as not part of our love nature. Kindness and compassion are usually out of the table, letting room for the negative conditioning of repetitive, and obnoxious, lack of care about life. Consciousness is what we need at hand to face challenges presented in those environments, in order to keep our kind, compassionate, and non-judgemental attitudes.


Walking through a nasty environment is not an easy task to perform, and it requires the love-kindness recipe that is imprinted into our love nature, and manifested from the inside out. For each moment we may feel negativity is kicking in, we need to counterbalance it by generating kindness and compassion from within, which could be achieved by being soft with the self, and someone else we have contact with, as much as we can. Practising the act of being soft is one wonderful exercise to support achieving peace of mind, representing one trace of our mind training that we can practise anytime, anywhere, and at any circumstances.


Buddha, the enlightened one, has disseminated in his teachings the need of being soft while in the journey of understanding our own suffering. Being soft is an act that represents our ability to be aware and awake to the fact we do not have all the answers to any situation we may experience, implying a non-judgemental attitude to enable the understanding of what cannot be understood or seen out of consciousness.


The moment we realise we need our consciousness the most to walk towards the path of a meaningful life, it is the moment we understand keeping our peace of mind is required to recognise every source triggering the feeling of lab rat within.


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...
