Buddha, the enlightened one, says that accepting the gift of suffering is establishing the ownership of it to the self, while rejecting it is letting such a gift where it initially belongs to. As a consequence of that, the moment we manifest any negativity towards the self or another, sometimes in a harmful way, it is the moment negativity enters deep within, corrupting and deteriorating not what we desire to but what we have no intention to get damaged.


It is easy to see that when our intentions are not genuine, anything we do is only part of an illusion associated with a period of suffering we are experiencing. We may think that what we are doing is right, and we may support it by the fact that such corruption is common sense in the vicinity we are part of. That is how a belief emerges, and the famous absolute truth begins to be disseminated, in order to control the way the majority behaves in a given situation. It happens with anything, and it may be passed through generations, from father to son and so on, being a family secret that a mind in suffering may think the only option is accepting it with little or no understanding, or perishing while facing believers of the riddle.


When we step into the land of understanding, it does not mean we would establish perfection in everything we do. As we already know, perfection is an illusion promoted by darkness to cause frustration if such a utopian state is not achieved. Being supported by understanding means we would analyse the situation based on the evidence we have at hand to perform a decision, and such a decision may be reverted when we find another evidence invalidating the one we have utilised previously. That is how impermanence works, and that is why our universe is dictated by an impermanent state of understanding.


Sometimes we are so deep into an illusion, blindly following the negative conditioning we are subjected to, which we put aside the most natural thing we are capable of cultivating, nurturing, generating, and manifesting from the inside out: love.


Next time let us try to understand our own suffering, exercising a conscious and non-judgemental attitude towards the self and another. As a consequence, if it is love we are putting into the gift we carry on, it is love we are cultivating deep within.


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...
