Knowledge. The source of power and wealth that depends only on the self to acquire. Knowledge is the key to open many internal doors closed by centuries of negative conditioning, centuries of degradation of the unlimited potential we have the capability to unleash. With knowledge we get prepared to face or do anything, and that is why achieving peace of mind depends on acquiring knowledge as much as we can about life itself.


There are many sources of knowledge we can access in order to enhance the self. The ancient knowledge, the source of teachings that Buddha—-the enlightened one—-has left, is one of them. With knowledge we have capability to access and create tools required to face challenges and difficulties life presents to us. It is also through the use of knowledge we can make the self step out of suffering, diminishing the illusions promoted by the negative conditioning we are subjected to.


The moment we decide to enter the path of acquiring knowledge, the awareness of what comes to the surroundings has to be vivid. “There is no free lunch” on anything we do in life, and darkness would be present during the journey of knowledge acquisition, mainly when we have less resources to establish a physical place we can enter to secure our total privacy, in order to stay in isolation for a while.


Negative conditioning and suffering are everywhere, and besides dealing with our own suffering, it may also be required to deal with another’s suffering, and its related manifestation. In that moment, we need kindness, compassion, and peace of mind cultivated through our body and mind training. Diminishing our own suffering increases our capability to deal with anything coming from the outside.


When knowledge is acquired, cultivated, nurtured, and generated within, no matter what we are facing, we have the power to become the superhero of our own existence.


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 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...

  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...
