Negative criticism is a trace of darkness we have to learn how to deal with, and one of the best ways to do that is experiencing its negative outcomes, consciously and meaningfully. We just need to tell the truth. That is enough to start receiving negative criticism, and therefore practising our mind training. A person performing such criticism is probably experiencing a period of suffering, and we need to be soft about that. We have to be comprehensive, warm-hearted, kind, cultivating peace of mind. The more we do that, the higher are the chances that our peaceful atmosphere disseminates positive energy that influences someone on the outside to step out of suffering.


We are powerless against what the outside can do towards the self. It represents we have no control over another, and therefore, we have just to observe the outcome. The only thing we can do against the actions of another is self-defence. That is our strength, a trace of the power we have inside. Defending the self is our duty, and when we recognise the challenge we are facing has been in the universe since the beginning, we understand its impermanence is ancient.


I am writing here to motivate and inspire all of you to live a life as conscious as you can live. However, what is the guarantee I have that you are getting motivated and inspired? None. What is the probability that some of you are criticising what you just read? There is a chance of that. What is the probability that some of you hate me because I fear nothing, or anything surrounding myself? If there is any person that hates me, I send to that person positive energy to help the duty of stepping out of suffering.


Some of you may question: Why is this guy writing every single day? Is he doing some kind of therapy, where writing is part of the process? Those questions are the funniest ones. I like to answer in the form of other questions. 


There is a huge difference between truth and speculation. The truth is what motivates the self to become a better version every single day. The speculation does just the opposite, causing doubt about everything we do. Are you feeling motivated and inspired about what you read on the NeartWord website? If yes, you already know why I write every single day.


Buddha, the enlightened one, has enrolled the path of understanding his own suffering, and after reaching enlightenment, he achieved peace and clarity of mind about the state he has just experienced. Is interpreting, applying, understanding, and disseminating the power of our love nature, which is vivid through Buddha's teachings, an investigative practise? If you say yes to that question, you already know I am not writing on this page motivated by any sort of therapy for me, or for yourself.


When we find the light we have inside, we become more powerful than we ever could imagine within our most incredible dreams. And to do that we just need two simple things: love and peace.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

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...

  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...

  It’s extremely important understanding why we need to step into our personal evolution, enhancing the self until we get totally aligned with our love nature and the universe itself. Such a fully alignment enables us to move as a whole unit combined with everything that make us alive, removing the need of the self, i.e., we become part of something bigger that is walking towards the same direction, consciously and meaningfully. We can imagine it as a group of people who have attained the same understanding of suffering, and therefore, any conscious decision regarding how to deal with negativity would be the same. Unfortunately, darkness uses a distortion of such a concept, which instead of promoting the use of consciousness, enforces the conditioning of the unconscious mind, implying individuals presenting the same behaviour by the simple fact they’ve been conditioned to do so rather than attained the same understanding to perform a similar decision. This minor yet fundamental dif...
