The moment we see a war with no way of setting terms through reasoning and understanding, it is the moment we realise the huge fog of negative conditioning covering the world we live in, clouding the understanding about what a life is, and why we have to care about it as the ultimate goal. We practise our body and mind training to enable the self being conscious about what happens within, and in the surroundings. The limitation of our own influence is what makes the self responsible for dealing with any period of suffering associated with it. The more we realise the size, and the length, of what we are facing, the more we understand that the true learning path is established within.


What could we learn from a situation we observe on the outside? Little or nothing, as we have no access to the details of what really happens in the perspective and relativity of who is participating. However, the observation of the outside can be an important asset on the observation and understanding of what we have within. It is easy to see that intelligence vanishes itself when a conflict is started, and that is the source of the main questions we have to ask: Is our intelligence aware of the source of any conflict we are a participant of? Or is the beginning of a conflict a result of negative conditioning our intelligence has no knowledge about? Let us think about that for a while.


There is a lot we can learn from observing the self in a deep and investigative procedure. First, we can see that any conscious act is established through a process involving observation, reasoning, and understanding. Second, if we have no consciousness about what happens within, and in the surroundings, it is a sign that our intelligence is in a dormant state, i.e., it may be present but performing no action to prevent any negative conditioning to be enrolled in. Third, in the observation of a period of suffering, tapping into our love nature through consciousness is the best strategy we can use, which enables the self stepping out of such a period.


A daily exercise we may perform within our own perspective and relativity is to never jump into conclusions about anything we are observing on the outside. That exercise is helpful in developing a non-judgemental attitude towards the self and others, step by step. The more we practise it, the more we understand why Buddha, the enlightened one, has mastered the understanding of his own suffering.

  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...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

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...
