There’s a sense of awareness we need to learn how to use in our favour, understanding the principles of observing the presence of darkness in the surroundings without getting conditioned by the negativity we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into. The importance of training and enhancing our perception are the key factors to start realising the main goal of someone who uses a mask for attempting to cause harm either towards us, or any other unconscious and innocent people. Direct confrontation is never the tactic of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive doctrines. Those minds in suffering prefer to trigger an inversion of control by performing an indirect attack to the body in order to strike a direct blow to the mind for diminishing, or even vanishing, its resilience. Performing our body and mind training, and acquiring knowledge to defend ourselves—by either learning a specific martial art or creating our own style and techniques like old masters have done in ancient times—are the foundation of walking the path towards a meaningful life. The most important part isn’t learning how to use a given technique but being certain we just need to use it if, and only if. extremely needed to defend life, which implies the requirement of learning how to apply defensive manoeuvres against any mind in suffering attempting to trespass our private and personal space with no previous invitation. The more we realise that, the better we understand the real purpose of facing the presence of darkness in the surroundings.


There’s no secret but the awareness of using our intrinsic ability to consciously surpass our own limits. If we observe dishonour, dishonesty, and deceptive behaviours in the surroundings, and there’s no way of either getting away from them or vanish that huge amount of negativity, we need to find a way of starting to create and develop our own techniques for solving a problem others have a different observation and understanding of. The example of Buddha, the enlightened one, represents the foundation of such a priceless piece of knowledge.


When the last Buddha, the prince Siddharta Gautama, decided to enrol into the path for seeking enlightenment he wasn’t the person with a huge understanding of what a meaningful life represents, and how someone could acquire priceless pieces of knowledge about suffering. As a consequence of such lack of prior knowledge he had enrolled into different ancient traditions created by old masters to understand the meaning of suffering. At some point in time, and for reasons we could never know and learn the real truth of, he has decided to create his own strategies and techniques for observing, analysing, and understanding suffering, which the journey led him to attain enlightenment.


If we think carefully about the Buddha’s journey we start understanding the real problem wasn’t actually in the distinguished and ancient traditions to attain the complete understanding of suffering but something in the way those traditions were practised, making it hard for Buddha, the enlightened one, to adapt and attain enlightenment. As I have said, we could never know the real reasons that lead Buddha, the enlightened one, to abandon the practice of ancient traditions for understanding suffering, as there are no clear registers with Buddha’s explanations concerning such decisions. The only thing we know is that prince Siddharta Gautama, the last Buddha, developed new ways of observing, analysing, and understanding suffering, making sure to transmit a clear message saying his words could never be accepted as absolute truths. It was probably the deepest understanding he attained after enlightenment.


If by any change or circumstance we cannot practice what we would like to, or even we find ourselves not adapted to a given imposition we’re subjected to, there’s always the possibility of keeping consciousness at hand and developing our own strategies for dealing with the unknown, or any negativity we’ve contact with in the environment we’re inserted into. The more we realise that, the better we understand the unlimited power we have deep within.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

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...

  It’s extremely important understanding why we need to step into our personal evolution, enhancing the self until we get totally aligned with our love nature and the universe itself. Such a fully alignment enables us to move as a whole unit combined with everything that make us alive, removing the need of the self, i.e., we become part of something bigger that is walking towards the same direction, consciously and meaningfully. We can imagine it as a group of people who have attained the same understanding of suffering, and therefore, any conscious decision regarding how to deal with negativity would be the same. Unfortunately, darkness uses a distortion of such a concept, which instead of promoting the use of consciousness, enforces the conditioning of the unconscious mind, implying individuals presenting the same behaviour by the simple fact they’ve been conditioned to do so rather than attained the same understanding to perform a similar decision. This minor yet fundamental dif...

  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...
