We cannot trespass our own limits if not becoming stronger and resilient against the presence of darkness in the environment we're inserted into. It's part of the process to deal with both obnoxious situations and the negative conditioning we're subjected to in the present moment. We improve with time if we keep consciousness at hand to acquire priceless pieces of knowledge during our life journey. Therefore, the more we perform our body and mind training aligned with our love nature, and focused on our personal evolution, the stronger and rock-hard we become in the long run.
The mind trap of the immediate outcome. It's time to realise and understand that not all things we experience in life are immediate, although we can only acquire such a knowledge in a specific moment of time: the present, the right here right now. The majority of changes and results we plan to attain and achieve for the self can only be built in the long run, step by step. Therefore, the first and fundamental piece of knowledge we need to acquire is learning what happens within and in the surroundings. We couldn't draw suitable strategies, adapting them to the present moment, if we've no idea what we've to enhance and what's in the surroundings posing external threats, challenges, and difficulties that we've to overcome.
It implies that two persons with distinguished internal states trying to achieve the same goal, but experiencing different environment conditions, cannot use exactly the same strategy to deal with anything aside from our love nature that's posing a threat to the self. We need to put things in perspective, using our third eye to see what we need to enhance in order to be able to deal with something we cannot deal with properly in the present moment.
We need to be soft to the self, remembering that everything that someone trying to harm us wants to see is our self-deterioration. It's easy to get such a proof. We just need to think about a way to perform a social experiment with ourselves, checking the hypothesis we've formulated in the present moment. If we get aligned with such a negative energy, keeping the self in the infinite loop of suffering that's related to that energy, we're just putting the self in the position of being a slave of our own suffering.
There's a wonderful Buddha's teaching saying that something continues to be wrong even if everyone is doing it; and something continues to be right even if we're the only one doing it. That wonderful teaching talks about the social experiment we're subjected to, the mix of reality and illusion we've no choice but experiencing and attaining higher levels of peace of mind to diminish the power on the self.
Some social conventions are totally influenced by the negative conditioning we're subjected to, and therefore, are totally wrong. As a consequence, we've to be prepared to accept no alignment with such conventions, with the cost of seeing people sharing no understanding with us following a path we've no interest to follow. As a result, it implies that we distance the self from anything that's not aligned with our love nature. If we're surrounded by darkness, it also implies that we need to learn how to build a strong shield against all negative energy we've contact with, not becoming afraid of being alone most of—or even all—the time.
The moment we realise we're not cobaias to be part of any type of social experiment performed by anyone no matter the circumstances, it's the moment we understand that anything not aligned with our love nature has only the power to deteriorate the self if we let it so. On the contrary, we can take the opportunity to become stronger and rock-hard while walking the path towards a meaningful life.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
