The word supporting the acquisition of knowledge about the self, and the scene we are just experiencing, is Investigation. We need to investigate our own life path in order to answer a simple question about any outcome we have contact with: Why?...If we use a belief as an answer, we are just stepping into a period of suffering, feeding a conditioned illusion to our own mind. Such an illusion may imply believing in the existence of a mental health issue as the source of any difficulty we may experience in the present moment. If we are not able to write clearly in a piece of paper the why's about anything related to the self, we are just experiencing suffering, and believing we understand something we have no knowledge about.


If we ask a person "Why are you so beautiful?", could we expect a clear and concise answer about that? Maybe yes…Maybe not…It depends on the person who answers the question. Beauty is a characteristic we have been conditioned to observe on the outside, and each one of us has a unique standard about what beauty represents. The course of history shows discussions about the existence of internal and external beauty as independent concepts we may get aware of. Could we write a clear answer explaining why we have such a segregation between internal and external beauty? Let us think a little bit about that.


Buddha, the enlightened one, has recognised in his teachings our love nature as the beauty we have to cultivate, nurture, and manifest from the inside out. Such manifestation is supported by our kind and compassionate attitudes towards the self and others. In the Buddha's perspective and relativity, there is no segregation between internal and external beauty, as the only beauty that counts is the one representing our love nature. Was the Buddha's assumption correct? Could we explain why the Buddha's assumption is correct?

The moment we have answers to the questions we may be afraid to ask, it is the moment we understand why we need those answers to achieve higher levels of peace of mind.


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...
