It’s time to renew that old feeling of hope, implying that something good will happen in the middle of all the negativity we need to face and deal with in the present moment. Hope is always there, and we need to not let that flame vanish from who we really are. Buddha, the enlightened one, taught us about getting detached from our ego, which may imply removing the idea of the self from the equation of life, getting totally integrated into the universe itself, a bigger and wider view of promoting and caring about life that we can use to extend the perspective of looking into a given moment or situation we’re experiencing. However, I personally find more tractable and sound to see and interpret the need to remove the idea of the self as taking into consideration what happens in the universe and in the surroundings to characterise and understand the position and the contributions of the current self to the whole instead of establishing a rigid priority order where the whole always comes first when talking about something specific and related to the actions and behaviours of a given sentient being. Such an interpretation gives us hope that even a tiny contribution within our own perspective and relativity may have the power to change the whole in a way similar to a doppler effect, which makes all sense to keep cultivating and nurturing our love nature deep within, even if no one is able to see, touch, or understand it from an external perspective.


Hope should never be dropped, no matter how unfavourable and unfair the environment we’re inserted into or the situation we’re dealing with seems to be. Sometimes, out of the sudden, we get rewarded by the impermanence of the universe, reminding us that we can always rise up again without having to embrace any negative outcome we need to deal with during our life journey. It’s just a matter of keeping consciousness at hand and understanding that everything comes and goes, implying that getting attached to those impermanent situations or states is just stepping into a deep loop of suffering and being unconscious of what really happens in the present moment. Getting aware and awaken about that is a crucial step to understand how astonishing our mind really is.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  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 important to wake up for the fact we’re the only one capable of understanding our own suffering in a conscious and meaningful way. It’s with such understanding at hand that we can be genuinely soft towards the self and others, focusing our efforts on performing our body and mind training to make progress in our personal evolution. The majority of the time we face and deal with configurations of the universe, and organisations in the surroundings, that are specific for the self, which means no other person would be able to either observe or replicate it properly. We can relate those configurations as something similar to the appearance of a comet, the discovery of a new star, and the occurrence of an eclipse. If we aren’t prepared to observe, analyse, and understand what’s in the surroundings, we wouldn’t be able to understand how to walk the path towards a meaningful life no matter the circumstances. We need to perform our body and mind training, sharpening our ability to ob...

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...
