When time is something we have concern about, time becomes something we have to make the most of. By paying attention to time we may realise that, no matter how fast or slow we do something, the passage of time would feel almost the same for a conscious mind. The illusion of being faster or slower is a trap of the mind, which may cause pleasure or frustration associated with the task we have at hand. Therefore, dealing with the expectations is dealing with what the self is able to learn from the experience we have in the present moment. Time may dictate a way to account for a moment, but a conscious moment is what makes the passage of time the most of it.


Consciousness is the tool we have at hand to make the most of the time available to perform a given task we need to. It is by using our consciousness that we become aware of the difficulties and challenges we need to face, which may try to disturb what we are doing in the present moment. The disturbance is what we may observe in the result we are producing, but the source could be out of our control, requiring the practise of our body and mind training focused to adaptation.


Adaption is a resource our consciousness may use to cope with things on the outside we have contact with. Adapting to the outside is not following what we are facing in an unconscious, and conditioned way. Adaptation means understanding the expected outcome, and producing a result that is beneficial to the self no matter the circumstances.

Buddha, the enlightened one, has used consciousness to understand his own suffering, adapting himself to the conditions of the world in the time he was inserted into. Buddha has understood that being royal, or having access to an almost unlimited source of resources, are not requirements to step into our personal evolution, and understanding anything our mind has contact with. Actually, it is by being conscious about what a material value is that we are able to differentiate, and put more value to life than anything else we may have at hand.


The lack of time may establish an illusion we need to possess a material value the most, but the consciousness of the moment makes us understand that life cannot be replaced by any resource we put more value to in the present moment.


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...
