What’s the biggest difficulty we may face in the environment we’re inserted into? If you answered ‘our own suffering’ deep into your mind, it’s indeed the correct answer. There’s nothing more deteriorating than dealing with untamed negative feelings and negative thoughts. If we let those thoughts both influence and dictate our course of actions, we become a passenger within our own body vessel, and therefore, we aren’t able to face and deal with the presence of darkness in the surroundings. In order to prevent it from happening, we need to draw suitable strategies to keep consciousness at hand no matter the circumstances. Whether we’re experiencing an extremely joyful moment, feeling an extremely negative emotion, or even not certain of what we’re either experiencing or feeling, the important thing is being aware and awake in order to remain in the present, always.
Confidence is the superpower of our consciousness, and it can only be genuinely attained through training and practice. It’s fundamental that we don’t mistake training by conditioning. Conditioning can be a result of training but training isn’t a product of conditioning. Conditioning is an operating mode of our body, which can be mastered if we learn how to keep consciousness at hand. If we’ve no consciousness at hand, conditioning makes us enter into a type of “automatic mode” where we don’t think yet we’re capable of executing actions. As a consequence of such an “automatic mode”, our moves become predictable.
When we start keeping consciousness at hand, we establish an intrinsic bond with the impermanence of the universe itself. It gives us the huge power of adaptation. Thus, we can start using conditioning combined with a conscious and meaningful observation of what happens in the present moment, enabling us to become unpredictable and capable of finding a suitable solution for anything we’re both facing and experiencing.
The more conscious we become, the better we can get prepared to cultivate and nurture the beautiful light we’ve deep within while fearing no one or anything attempting to cause us harm.
