In the middle of our daily activities, while facing many challenges and difficulties posed by both the situation and the scenario we’re facing, it’s important to make progress, even if negative criticism disregards or attempts to make us feel it isn’t good enough. The scale we need to use to realise and understand what’s good enough is only available if we keep consciousness at hand, taking into account all variables present in the environment we’re inserted into that aren’t clearly identified by an outsider, an external observer who hasn’t all the information at hand to make such a negative statement valid. It’s also crystal clear that negative criticism as an attempt either to demoralise or deteriorate the life of someone else comes from a period of suffering being experienced, mainly related to a distorted feeling of superiority, accepting and acknowledging no progress performed by a sentient being considered inferior. Thus, the more we keep consciousness at hand no matter the circumstances, the more we value making progress towards either big or small steps.


Let’s keep moving, realising and understanding that the great challenges and difficulties we need to face and deal with aren’t derived from the issue we’re attempting to solve but the negative charges and pressure we get under in the environment we’re inserted into. When we find a suitable strategy to deal with such huge amount of negativity, we start observing, analysing, and understanding the situation before us from a distinguished, and therefore, unique perspective, taking also into account the eager desire of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people to see us fail in order to take and make our progress on the eyes of others as it was their own. 


It was extremely common to observe such a negative behaviour in middle age monarchies and societies, mainly in reigns where the aristocracy was constantly plotting against the king or queen in order to take the throne, putting someone functioning as a puppet in their hands as a replacement, and eliminating also anyone supporting the same values carried on by that king or queen being prosecuted. Nowadays (year 2026) it’s the same, although plots, deceptions, and negative actions get performed on a daily basis against anyone posing a threat to the tyranny we observe in different countries and continents.


The more we realise we’re equals, and therefore, we’re the same, as his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, also emphasises in his public appearances and discourses, the better we understand embracing darkness as the way of life isn’t the right decision to make, no matter the circumstances.


Let’s keep doing our best and making progress while walking the path towards a meaningful life.


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...
