Sometimes we urge to jump into conclusions, analysing just what is close to us. It is like observing part of a very long snake and assuming it is a piece of wood in the middle of the jungle. The decisions are made by the head, and it is from the head that comes the bite. When we see suffering as a snake, we understand that focusing on the body, i.e., on the outside, has little or no effect. The moment we aim for the head, i.e., within the self, it is the moment we suffer no more.


We have been conditioned to not look into the real source of a problem, and it represents a huge drawback into our personal evolution. When we look to the outside, trying to observe, analyse, and understand any behaviour we are subjected to, we end up with both no understanding and suffering as outcomes. The real deal is that we are trading our peace of mind by the inability to recognise where the head of the snake is.


The moment we aim for the head, looking within to the source of what causes suffering to the self, we are much more effective at drawing strategies required to, at least, understand a period of suffering being experienced. With consciousness at hand, and knowledge on the table, we can be precise. What surrounds us is a detail, which we only get to deal with the moment it enters directly our own perspective and relativity, trying to harm the self. Until that moment, it has no power without our permission, i.e., anything spoken, written, gesticulated, or even fabricated is what it is: part of a scene we are inserted into. Being aware of it is extremely important on the duty of dealing with darkness.


We have not to be afraid if we are not ready to recognise the presence of a snake, i.e. a period of suffering, and deal with it accordingly. If we understand the snake, being able to deal with it in a conscious way, such a snake becomes our protector for the moments anything on the outside attempts to enter our own perspective and relativity to harm us.


The moment we realise who is responsible for our own suffering, it is the moment we understand that we are more powerful than we can ever imagine.

  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...
