What does define the meaning of being obnoxious? By the essence of the word, the true meaning of obnoxious is a behaviour against our love nature. By the negative conditioning perspective, obnoxious is any behaviour out of what has been conditioned, and expected. The negative conditioning drives the expectations of the outside to meet a standard, a pattern, a right or wrong way to communicate something. There is no such way if we are conscious about not stepping out of our love nature. We expect Buddha, Jesus Christ, Krishna, or any other important figure to behave in a certain way. That is what negative conditioning does. Being not aside from our love nature is what all of those figures have disseminated through their light. Nothing more, nothing less.


When we get deep into the observation and reasoning concerning the meaning of the word obnoxious, it is almost impossible to not relate such a word to the negative conditioning we have contact with. Every different culture has a specific idea about what an obnoxious behaviour is in a given scenario. What in some cultures could be considered totally "normal", in others may represent a severe "insult" of the principles being followed. We are in the middle of the experience of negative conditioning, where the expectation is dictating the way we behave and respond to events observed on the outside. We let consciousness aside, and are guided by our unconscious mind, and the stimuli we have contact with. In essence, that is nothing more than a period of suffering itself we have been following from a very long time.


What Buddha, the enlightened one, disseminates through his teachings about being non-judgemental matches the true meaning of the word obnoxious, and the idea representing a behaviour aside from our love nature. Being non-judgemental is not the absence of performing any judgement about a situation we experience, but not letting such judgement deviates our behaviour outside of our love nature. We can be tough and solid with no intention or desire to harm another, preventing the self from stepping into a period of suffering all along.


Putting the self aside from negative conditioning is recognising that events on the outside may be dictated by expectations, while what we cultivate inside has no business with it.

  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...
