When we are walking our own path and we see clearly the top of the mountain, such a view is not enough. There are so many challenges we have to face, which make uncertainty and impermanence part of our entire journey. As a consequence, we acquire the knowledge that we do not have all the answers but as a counterpart we know how to proceed in the search for them. The balance between seeing the truth before our third eye, and dealing with illusions observed through our naked eyes, represents the awareness and wisdom we use as support for strengthening our resilience and achieving higher peaceful states of mind. Wisdom materialises itself as the fact that we do not need to reach the top of the mountain to learn how difficult it can be reaching it.


How smart are we? How does intelligence vanish itself in the presence of suffering? What is the most valuable thing we can acquire during our life journey? What is more important: possessions or knowledge? All the questions are used as a reflection related to the way we live our life, and how conscious we are about it. Sometimes we think we are aware of the threats we face until discovering we know just the tip of the iceberg related to the difficulties and challenges we have to deal with, mainly considering what we do not know about the world, and the society we live in.


Are we aware of all possible applications of the technology we use every single day? Are we aware of all technologies in use within our own perspective and relativity? Are we aware of how technology can be used in the hands of a person experiencing suffering, and with a huge amount of resources at hand? Do we know our neighbours? Have we established a true friendship with them? If not, do we know why? All the aforementioned questions are fundamental to the understanding of our relationship with the society we live in.


If we have no close relation with our neighbours, coworkers, or anyone we have contact with in a more frequent way, it may indicate something in that relationship we need to pay attention to. We may draw a lot of possibilities about the reasons for being distant from the persons we spend most of our time nearby. However, it is our duty to find the answers in a meaningful way, in order to identify how the environment we live in contributes to either boost or diminish the periods of suffering we may experience during our life journey. The closer we are to the people we spend most of the time nearby, the better is our understanding of the environment surrounding the self. Why? The answer is simple: suffering feeds itself from the uncertainty generated within and in the surroundings.


If we are experiencing suffering, we can pause a bit to think: How well do we know the people surrounding us in the environments we spend most of our time in? The moment we realise the answer for such a question, it is the moment we understand how to step into a higher peaceful state of mind, enhancing the results obtained through our body and mind training.


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...
