There is always a way to nurture life, even in an environment where conditions are harsh. It is a matter of keeping the strong roots, the foundation on top of our love nature, cultivating positive energy within, and letting, step by step, it spread from the inside out. Learning by experience is combined with the acquisition of ancient knowledge, cross-relating what we observe in the present moment with teachings disseminated in the past. The more we realise that sometimes there is no example to follow in a given scenario, the more we get aware that understanding is a key factor of any scene we experience.


We should not be afraid if we get in a position where we have no idea about what to do next, as it is by observing the impermanence of the universe that we can learn, and understand, the patterns in the surroundings, and the strategy we may apply to identify and deal with them. By taking advantage of the uncertainty that is part of the intrinsic movement of the universe, we get ourselves possibilities to choose the course of our actions, using consciousness at hand to do so.


Periods of suffering may occur, and dealing with them is our personal duty to get the self back on the path, no matter how many times we have to do it. The wonderful teachings of Buddha, the enlightened one, about keeping a non-judgemental attitude towards the self and others is at use when we need to deal with our own suffering. Being non-judgemental means understanding why we are not perfect, and what the relation of such imperfection has to do with the universe itself. Acceptance comes as a result of understanding, and not the other way around, even if we get into the illusion of the contrary.


The key factor of keeping our body and mind strong, being resilient against any negative energy we have contact with, is understanding that when the time comes, using the inversion of control is the best strategy to keep walking towards the path of a meaningful life.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  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...
