The most difficult part of dealing with dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people is facing fake helpful behaviours, the one happening just after deceptive actions causing harm, and therefore, opening the need for help. We may observe such huge deception everywhere and from anyone, including a total stranger, a coworker, or even a family member. Distancing ourselves from those people is essential yet not always possible depending on the circumstance or situation we’re experiencing. If we find out that we’ve been stabbed intentionally and harmfully by the same person who played dead while getting us to the hospital, would we consider that person our saviour, the one who saved us from death? The moment we realise the answer for that simple question, it’s the moment we understand why having dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people in the surroundings is far more dangerous than having thousands of disclosed enemies before us. While we’re always prepared to face enemies, even if we’ve no consciousness at hand in the present moment, dishonoured, ldishonest, and deceptive people have the capability of getting us off guard if we are not conscious of their presence. Thus, it’s better to be prepared rather than having a knife cutting and opening our back out of the sudden.


From time to time, I start thinking of a dubious decision performed by Siddartha Gautama, the Buddha, who had simply abandoned a pregnant wife and a luxurious and comfortable life within the palace of the Shakya clan to seek enlightenment, never getting back to that environment again during his remaining lifespan. I thought of life thousands of years ago, where slavery was an allowed common practice, and fundamental human rights were simply inexistent, implying people who were considered slaves being treated as disposable things.


If we start thinking a little bit of the aforementioned Buddha’s decision, and we think of the cruelty observed during slavery times, how many dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people do we think were living in the surroundings of the Buddha, the enlightened one? How many people would like to see Siddartha dead to prevent him from ascending to the throne of the Shakya clan? Although we’ve no clear answers for those aforementioned questions, we can imagine what those dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people could do with him if he decided to step on the throne of the Shakya clan instead of renouncing the King role.


If we’re in doubt of the true intentions of a given person in the surroundings, it’s better to be prepared for the worst while living the best, getting not intimidated by any obnoxious behaviour we may need to face and deal with sooner, or later. If we step into a period of suffering and deliver what dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people would like to see, we may understand why “receiving help” from others isn’t always a good and genuine sign.


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...
