On this April Fools’ day, let’s talk about shoes, and the delightful universe of the different sizes and models we fall in love with at first sight, which may cause us to experience a period of suffering just imagining our feet could not fit comfortably in one of them. What problem do we have at hand when not able to master the art of choosing the right shoes, which may become our lifetime companion? The majority of us pass a lifetime either complaining about the lack of good shoes or getting back to old memories of those astonishing shoes we had once and we couldn’t find it again, being also not satisfied with similar models currently available. Some of us also have no taste for picking good shoes, which implies the need to keep consciousness at hand in order to master the art of shoes. The moment we realise how to become comfortable with the shoes we already have, or using both knowledge and wisdom to highlight the beauty of those good old shoes, it’s the moment we understand how resourceful and happy we can be.


There’re moments of our life journey where we feel more energetic and free, which may lead us to manifest a raw and wild sensation of freedom, walking barefoot through the world without experiencing the astonishing experience of picking up and trying a good pair of shoes for that special night out. Eureka! We may say it when realising how much time we’ve spent with no shoes, and therefore, what we can do to prevent the self to create a deep dependency on the comfort and stillness those new shoes may bring to us.


Mastering the art of shoes is nothing more than mastering a way of either picking the right shoes for the right moment, or as an enhancement of our knowledge and wisdom, learning how to combine the same old-fashioned pair of shoes with different types of clothes that fit for any occasion we may have to show off our pretty face and perform out in the middle of the crowd.


Let’s remember: it’s much better to master the art of shoes and having no need to put it into practice rather than needing it and having no knowledge at hand to do so.


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...
