It is not always that we can see clearly, even through our naked eyes, the threats we are dealing with in the present moment. The majority of the time they are mixed with fabricated illusions we have contact with, hidden or masked as something or someone in the surroundings. If we are experiencing suffering, we become hunters of the aforementioned threats. However, instead of identifying the threats to hunt them, we can do the same to understand that no negativity generated from the outside is able to enter the self without our own permission.


We need to understand our worst enemy to be able to understand the self. That is why it is extremely important to understand our own suffering, which gives us priceless pieces of knowledge utilised by the self to build a strong shield to face darkness, its associated negative conditioning, and hatred culture itself.


 Māra, the evil entity prosecuting Buddha—the enlightened one—during his journey to understand his own suffering and attaining enlightenment, characterises the essence of evil’s mind we see in darkness. Environments where life is treated as a disposal thing. The glorification of luxury. The use of financial resources and personnel to enslave people. All negativity we see in the environment we are inserted into is there for a long time, i.e., the observation of the aforementioned evil’s manipulations is ancient.


Our past generations have faced variations of the threats we face in the present moment. The difference is how those threats can be faced, as the common laws have changed a lot throughout centuries.


Let us ask the self: what does bother ourselves the most in the environment we are inserted into? If we already know the answer to that question, we know what we have to identify, and how we can use such identification to draw a suitable strategy to perform our body and mind training. We need to be resilient to what disturbs our inner peace, and we can only achieve a proper resilience to something we know exactly how to identify and recognise.


Instead of getting disturbed by things we cannot control, let us get resilient to them, establish a strong and wise posture to face them when needed, and be prepared to deal with anything, anywhere, and in any circumstance.


The moment we learn how to identify and recognise clearly the threats we are dealing with, it is the moment we understand how to perform our body and mind to strengthen and harden the self in order to tap into the unlimited power we have inside.


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...
