Walking through the beach of life, side by side with its associated ocean, can reveal a beautiful and astonishing insight about how easy it is to observe the waters when we are in a safe ground. We can observe and analyse what we are seeing but we cannot understand what is really happening within the waters, even if we get a good outside view of it. Therefore, the only way to deal with the challenges and difficulties present in the water is learning how to swim. The same happens with the mind. The only way to deal with our own suffering is learning how to rule our mind properly through mind training.


It is time to realise we need to learn how to rule our mind properly, even if we need help doing it. Learning by ourselves can be challenging although it is extremely beneficial to the self. However, learning with the help of someone can also be beneficial while the person gets not comfortable to step in the ocean of life, and dealing by herself/himself with the disturbances that challenges and difficulties may present in the present moment. The important thing is walking towards a conscious understanding of what living a life really represents.


Being non-judgemental, kind, and soft with ourselves and others while establishing direct contact is fundamental. The good strategy we can apply that is a game changer of dealing with our own suffering is keeping, as much as possible, any manifestation of any negative emotion derived from a period of suffering in a private domain, and alone with no one else in the same room, house, or apartment we are at the moment. It is within our own privacy, alone with our own suffering, that we can draw hypotheses to understand what has triggered the period of suffering we may be experiencing. Again, if a person is not comfortable doing it alone, it is OK to seek help to learn how to do it properly.


The moment we realise how to rule our own mind, it is the moment we understand that no matter the challenge or difficulty we are facing, we have an unlimited power at hand to deal with it in a conscious and meaningful way.


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...
