The capacity of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people to perform actions to harm the lives of innocent ones is almost unbelievable. Sometimes we think we’ve seen enough cruelty, dishonesty, and awful actions with the specific goal of deteriorating innocent lives but we actually have seen just the tip of the iceberg of what hatred culture can produce. Another hard truth to incorporate, which we can do nothing about, is the fact that the only people who get punished are the innocent ones. The true responsibles of a lot of dishonoured, dishonest, deceptive, and cruel actions are walking free on the streets, eating fine food, wearing distinguished clothes, sleeping on all that luxury can buy, and besides that, we observe that nothing changes. And let’s not associate the people who worked their ass out to have the possibility of eating fine food, wearing distinguished clothes, and sleeping on all that luxury can buy, even if they’re totally unconscious of what happens in the surroundings, as the ones who would get the blame while the true responsibles are still walking freely to keep harming innocent lives. Before someone may wrongly interpret this text as an indirect to the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, I am clearly stating it is not. The true responsibles know, deep within, the accountable number of cruel actions and crimes they’ve committed. It’s only when we get aware of the need to keep consciousness at hand  no matter the circumstances, that we can have a chance of stopping such a cruelty with no need of becoming a source of cruelty ourselves, which solves nothing in the long run.


Living in modern society is a daily opportunity of discovering awful situations happening behind the scenes that we’ve no idea that they were even happening. It’s disgusting to see the dark side of a human being so close, and at the same time, being totally conscious we can do nothing about, which implies the clear understanding that we would become what we disgust the most if doing so.


After understanding the disgusting, awful, and dark side of a human being, we can truly start to understand some of the deepest Buddha’s teachings, being able to understand and incorporate their full extent. We can also truly understand why Buddha, the enlightened one, has formed an inner and closed circle of disciples, where the genuine trust on our love nature, and the trust on all members of that circle, are two fundamental pillars of Buddhism itself.


It’s all about knowing the truth yet performing our body and mind training to keep consciousness at hand while walking the path towards a meaningful life, no matter the circumstances.


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...
