It’s important that we’ve clear in our mind we’ve no right to attack anyone, no matter the circumstances. However, we’ve all the rights to defend ourselves in the face of an attempt to harm our own life. The right to defend the self, and someone else we care about, doesn’t offer the right to perform attacks in retaliation for any attempt of harm we’ve faced or dealt with. The right to defend the self is very clear in the sense of stopping—in the act—the actions of a sentient being attempting to harm the self with any conscious and meaningful measures required to restore peace and balance to our own perspective and relativity. The knowledge of being prepared for applying self-defence only measures must be clear in our mind, with no doubts of what it means in any circumstance. As conscious beings we’re neither hungry spirits nor beasts eagerly attempting to feed our ego of dominance and control. We’re creatures of love cultivating and nurturing the light we’ve deep within, which doesn’t mean we'll all live without the need to face and deal with those hungry spirits or beats eagerly looking for feeding their ego of dominance and control. Therefore, we need to be prepared, and performing our body and mind training is the right way of attaining the clarity of mind required to understand why we need to do that.


Identifying the presence of darkness in the surroundings may imply the further identification of a special type of suffering we need to be prepared to deal with: the suffering of another that believes in their rights to dominate and control the lives of others in a similar way to the ancient practice of slavery. Those sentient beings experiencing such type of suffering manifest their form of hungry spirits or beats eagerly looking for feeding their ego of dominance and control. Such an ego is constantly looking for the affirmation in their mind that they can do whatever they want to with another. Such an ego implies the observation of behaviours promoting chaotic environments, where people are experiencing difficult situations to live their lives, where the responsible of restricting and restraining the access to resources are waiting for the submission of any imposed term. Hungry spirits or beats will never stop. The moment they achieve a certain level of dominance and control over others, they’ll change the terms to justify their insatiable need to feed on suffering.Those are endless conditions only stepping out of suffering can release them from.


In the middle of their insatiable desire to feed on suffering, we need to be prepared to face them in a conscious and meaningful way. We need to have clear in our mind the duty of performing our body and mind training, achieving a full relaxation of body and mind required to make the tough call when the right moment happens in front of the self. We need to live our lives peacefully and meaningfully but with the clear understanding of being ready to face hungry spirits and beats along our path. With the presence of darkness in the surroundings, unfortunately, the presence of hungry spirits and beats is inevitable. Hungry spirits and beats don’t accept a sentient being with more knowledge and wisdom than they’re able to achieve in their condition. They’ve to exercise their desire for dominating and controlling everything, characterising the behaviour of hungry spirits and beats they’re in the present moment.


We just need to keep consciousness at hand, understanding that learning self-defence isn’t optional in a world dominated by darkness and hatred culture. From time to time we would’ve to face any type of hungry spirit or beat, and therefore, while walking the path towards a meaningful life, we need to be prepared for doing it in a conscious and meaningful way.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  Each step we perform towards our personal evolution reveals a priceless piece of knowledge that helps us face darkness and deal with the negative conditioning we are subjected to. One of the most important Buddha’s teachings applied to any moment is not being too hard on the self. The more we realise that we are not perfect and we always have something we can do better, the more we understand how astonishing and resourceful we are when relying on our consciousness and the unlimited energy of love we can generate from the inside out. We are awesome, no matter what we hear from the outside. If we embrace the negativity we have contact with we end up contaminated by such an intoxicating energy, experiencing suffering as the result of the manifestation of negative emotions. We need to be brave and tough, using all the negative criticism as a conscious motivation to become a better version of the self every single day. We need to get prepared for the escalation of negative intentions and

  Once upon time we need to think about the challenges and difficulties we are facing, aligning our body and mind training to deal with variations we may encounter in different environments we are either passing through or inserted into. We need to adapt as fast as we can to something we cannot see, something that is working in the shadows to deteriorate the surroundings and all connections we may be able to establish in the present moment. It’s by achieving such clarity of mind that we are able to get better prepared to face darkness and deal with the negative conditioning we are subjected to. We may consider darkness as an ancient society promoting chaos and terror all over the world. The majority of the time, when blindfolded by our own suffering, we are not able to see clearly what happens in the surroundings. Therefore, we cannot draw suitable strategies to deal with obnoxious situations derived from something we cannot see clearly through the lens of our naked eyes. Therefore, we

  We have the potential to be connected with nature, which gives us a huge amount of energy we can use in the benefit of our own evolution. It is only by connecting to all living beings, establishing an intrinsic and symbiotic bond, that we can understand the unlimited power we have within. Such a power is the energy source of our own existence, the fortress of the meaningful reign we call mind; the foundation of our strength, resilience, and robustness while facing darkness no matter the circumstances. The more we realise the presence of such a power in all living creatures, the more we understand the unlimited extent of our own capabilities. Life is what allows us to walk through the environment we are inserted into. It is the priceless gift we have received, in which the duty to care for is the ultimate goal. Facing darkness is nothing more than an exercise of reaching the aforementioned goal, protecting it at any cost. It is by connecting to nature that we can establish suitable co
