Besides life, what is the most valuable treasure we can acquire, most of the time free of charge? If you are thinking about illusory things like money, or physically measurable things like land, your answer is wrong. We cannot fabricate or measure the exact value of money, or use the land we have at hand properly, if we possess no knowledge. With no knowledge we become puppets in the hands of those who possess it and, unfortunately, are experiencing a period of suffering. Knowledge represents freedom and power to a conscious mind, at the same time that represents slavery and power to an unconscious counterpart. A person with both consciousness and knowledge at hand  is a person that is a slave to no one, including not being a slave to suffering itself.


Do you imagine yourself being a slave, obeying another instead of following right, reasonable, meaningful, and inspiring explanations and demonstrations of knowledge as a free person? I have never imagined being a slave to no one, and that is why I have started to perform body and mind training to not become a slave even to my own suffering. Besides life, that is the reason I, personally, put more value in knowledge than anything else. 


In the foundation I have established to guide myself through the path of a meaningful life, a person is rich if knowledge is what such a person possesses, but even the possession of a huge amount of knowledge does not make the right to earn special treatment in favour of another life. No matter what, as his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama is used to saying, we are equals, we are the same.


The moment we have contact with deception, injustice, unfairness, manipulation, or even dirty politics, it is the moment a picture of those old slavery times comes to mind. If we seek not to acquire knowledge, we can notice nothing happening in the present moment, which leads us to a deep period of suffering where the illusions we have contact with become part of our own fabricated reality. Dependency on the outside transforms itself into the right thing to expect, and frustration results in something to be used to. We need to break such a loop of suffering by waking up to see the surroundings through our third eye, using consciousness and acquisition of knowledge as pillars of our established and meaningful foundation.


The moment we realise and recognise the true value of both life and knowledge, it is the moment we understand why, what, and how making the decision to walk the path towards a meaningful life.


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...
