Let’s imagine that I become recognised as a bastard prince from the United Kingdom, and therefore, through such a genealogical inheritance, people start paying more attention to everything I do, speak, and write. Although I’ve no evidence of being a bastard (:-D), that isn’t important for the context. The important point here is that modern society has a conditioned tendency of paying more attention to the position and influence of a given person rather than the knowledge and message they’re transmitting. The evidence is all over the World Wide Web (WWW). Using that argument as a foundation, would the last Buddha, the enlightened one, recognised as so if he was a slave? Let’s remember the last Buddha, Siddartha Gautama, was a royal prince from the Shakya clan, which occupied the geographic region where Nepal is today. The answer is: we can never know. What we know is that in Buddha’s teachings, we’re equals, and we’re the same. Thus, knowledge is the foundation that drives the path towards a meaningful life instead of any position or influence we may have in modern society. The moment we realise that, it’s the moment we understand every single sentient being is a priceless source of knowledge we can learn something from; we just need to be conscious to do that.


Knowledge is the shield we need to acquire, modify, enhance, and customise in order to protect ourselves from dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people we’ve contact with during our life journey. It’s through knowledge acquisition that we can genuinely observe, analyse, and understand what happens in the present moment. As a consequence of such knowledge acquisition, we’ve the opportunity to keep consciousness at hand while performing our body and mind training to step into higher stages of our personal evolution.


In this month dedicated to the prevention of suicide, it’s extremely important that we establish a strong and resilient posture to shine our beautiful light from the inside out while offering a strong support for the ones who’re experiencing deep periods of suffering to the point they think to end their own lives. Living is a priceless gift, and no matter the circumstances, we need to show any human being who may lose their faith in the importance of being alive that experiencing life is still the right choice to make.


Let’s be brave and keep acquiring as much knowledge as we can. The more knowledge we acquire, the better prepared we’re to face and deal with the unknown, and mainly facing and dealing with dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people who believe the illusory power of money is more important than life itself.


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 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...

  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...
