Sometimes the environment we are inserted into presents us a dense and unknown challenge to face, like an unexplored forest we have no idea how to deal with and what we may find out the moment we get in. There is only one way to face such a challenge, which is keeping consciousness at hand no matter what. We have to behave like a wise and strong animal, which walks through the scene with no fear and ready to defend itself if required to. The moment we realise how to become such an animal, it is the moment we understand why there is no challenge we are not able to deal with.
Let us wake up the strong, beautiful, and wise animal we have inside, which helps us to deal with any challenge or difficult life presents to us. Let us wake up to the fact that we need kindness, compassion, and a non-judgemental attitude to deal with deception, unfairness, negativity, and darkness itself. Let us wake up the unlimited power we have inside, which is only accessed through a deep, strong, conscious, and peaceful state of mind.
Let us trust our senses, instincts, impressions, and feelings. There is no need for outside validation the moment we have consciousness at hand, knowing how to use the data we obtain within our own perspective and relativity. Let us remember the non-existence of an absolute truth, which makes everything we observe aligned with the impermanence dictating the occurrence of events in the universe itself.
Let us remember we are powerful when we are conscious, and prey when our unconscious mind gets on the driver's seat. Why do we have to prevent becoming hunters? That is an easy question to answer. We should not become hunters by two reasons: (1) the moment we become a hunter we are actually experiencing a deep period of suffering, which results just in the deterioration of the self; and (2) as a strong and powerful hunter the probability of success is very high, which implies getting deeper and deeper in the period of suffering we may be experiencing. As Buddha, the enlightened one, has disseminated through his wonderful teachings, the midway path is how we keep aligned with our love nature no matter the circumstances.
The moment we realise how to walk such a midway path, it is the moment we understand how to wake up the wise and strong animal we have inside that helps us walk the path towards a meaningful life.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
