Standing strong and tall before darkness is indeed an everlasting and transcendental duty. There’s nothing we can find as either right or reasonable to embrace the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into. We need to reach the understanding that cultivating and nurturing the beautiful light we’ve deep within requires facing the presence of darkness in the surroundings during a lifetime, which may extend to an infinite number of lifetimes in some cases. Reading this paragraph may make you feel demotivated by the simple fact of being aware and awakened to the fact of the need to always be training and ready to deal with anything against our love nature, almost with no resting period. The truth is that the beauty of life is in the details, which implies that a conscious mind can experience periods of genuine happiness and joy, resting and relaxing even in the middle of a chaotic environment where dishonour, dishonesty, and deception are the norm for the majority of behaviours we’ve contact with.
When in the middle of a dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive environment, there’s a duty of being aware of the cruelty exhibited by human beings we need to face and deal with, which implies dealing with the act of pretending to do something to attain another goal, as well as dealing with someone playing dead if questioned about such a cruelty. And the only way of defending ourselves and other innocent people from such cruelty is keeping consciousness at hand, performing our body and mind training, and getting ready for the unknown, experiencing the best yet being prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres against the worst. It’s only by clearly identifying the presence of darkness in the surroundings that we can spot traces of deception, implying in the ability to accept neither conditioning nor questionable belief with clear doubts regarding its alignment with our love nature and contribution to our well-being.
If we look to the bright side of having the presence of darkness vivid in the surroundings, we can clearly understand a wonderful and priceless opportunity to take advantage of all negativity and cruelty we’ve contact with to attain an unimaginable level of power and endurance, which would require hard and exhaustive periods of forced training if creating such a challenging environment and conditions on our own. The only drawback on such an approach is that, most of the time, people experiencing deep periods of suffering and harming others as a way of life get jealous of the level of power we can attain, which implies they will attempt to cut off the means we use for survivability, requiring the establishment of a clear plan of actions for a moment or period of less available resources. Such a plan needs to be designed according to, and adapted for, the specific configuration and conditions of the environment we’re inserted into. The moment we realise and understand how to establish such a plan, it’s the moment we can be more focused on attaining higher levels of peace of mind and stepping into higher stages of our personal evolution.
Let’s just remember: when keeping consciousness at hand and walking the path towards a meaningful life, we establish a powerful figure to ensure there’s no darkness before light.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
