We have to remember the harsh environments, and the obnoxious situations we experienced to understand similar situations we may experience in the present moment. In the past, we may have fallen into the trap of suffering, following the illusion fabricated by the mind, and influenced by the dishonoured behaviour we have faced. Our biggest challenge is not facing the situation at all, but ruling the mind to support seeing the dishonour, injustice, and unfairness at the sight of our third eye without stepping into a period of suffering ourselves. If we have the opportunity to get into the same environment, facing the same obnoxious situation we have faced in the past, what would happen? In an opportunity like that, consciousness has to be at hand, suffering has to be out of the table, and therefore peace of mind becomes the most trustful asset we have available.


In a harsh environment, and in an obnoxious situation, which is by nature a discriminatory scenario, we have to keep our body and mind training on check to face anything coming into our direction. It is clear as crystal that the biggest challenge we face is ruling the self to control the manifestation of negative emotions within, derived from acts of dishonour, injustice, and unfairness our third eye reports to the mind. Understanding the contribution of what we observe in the vicinity is one important piece of the puzzle to understand how a dishonoured environment is promoted, propagated, and disseminated all around.


Unfortunately, alone, from the heart of our perspective and relativity, we have not much to do against what we are able to observe. One thing we can do, and we have to, is understanding what dishonour, injustice, and unfairness represent to the self. These three concepts imply, isolated or together, a set of common behaviour we would have contact with. Sometimes more chaotic, and sometimes peaceful like a kind and compassionate talk we may offer through our love nature to the self, or another.


Dishonour, injustice, and unfairness are at the heart of triggering suffering to the self. These three concepts are the pillar of darkness, dictating every single action we may have knowledge about. Everything is based on dishonour, injustice, and unfairness, and nothing is what we can do to change that. 


By understanding Buddha's teachings we may get into the face of the tough question: Is suffering caused by the promotion of dishonour, injustice, or unfairness we observe on the outside? Besides being a tough question, we eventually realise the answer is a simple 'No'. Why? Because the answer we are looking for is related to what dishonour, injustice, and unfairness represent to the self.


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...
