Sometimes we've a limited view of the outside, restricting the possibilities of identifying the presence of darkness in the surroundings. That limited view is derived from a period of suffering being experienced, restraining our capability of keeping consciousness at hand in the present moment. Thus, instead of grasping what happens on the outside, we need to be focused on the inside, enhancing our resilience against any type of negativity growing silently deep within. The moment we realise how to take advantage of such negative energy, converting it into a positive outcome, it's the moment we get prepared to attain higher levels of peace of mind no matter the circumstances.


We need to learn how to let go, liberating the self from the grasping feeling of not being able to move away from an unpleasant situation we've no control of. We need to develop a suitable strategy to adapt the self for dealing with obnoxious situations accordingly, taking advantage of posed situations to practise and sharpen our body and mind training. The more we practise our training, the easier it's to face the unknown and any type of event derived from the impermanence of the universe.


While experiencing suffering, we can activate our consciousness to observe, analyse, and understand some details we could not be aware of from an outside perspective. We can acquire much more knowledge by the simple fact of putting the self into a kind of surrogate mode, where our consciousness is active but letting its unconscious counterpart get on the driver's seat just to see the path it'll walk through.


The moment we use our consciousness wisely, observing, analysing, and understanding the self and the environment we're inserted into, it's the moment we understand how to face darkness in a conscious and meaningful way, keeping the self in the path towards a meaningful life no matter the circumstances.


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
