  When Buddha, the enlightened one, has left the palace to enrol into his journey towards acquiring more knowledge of suffering, and therefore towards enlightenment, he made his choice on his own, knowing exactly the consequences of his decision to the lifestyle he would be experiencing later on. When we’re facing dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people, we need to keep consciousness at hand to realise and understand that our well-being is the crucial foundation we cannot let anyone corrupt, which implies that we need to be prepared to jump out from the illusions we may be living deep within, in a similar way that Buddha, the enlightened one, has done when he decided to leave the palace and the contact and comfort of its associated luxury. If we aren’t prepared to perform that choice, consciously and meaningfully, those dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people would attempt to make a person they consider an inferior being as their guinea pig, which in the long run will be ...

  When we start analysing anything in life from our own perspective and relativity, seeking the understanding of a given environment, scenario, or situation before us, one astonishing and well-known strategy that can be used as an asset at hand is breaking that bigger and intractable view into small pieces, which we can start reassembling to understand properly what we’ve experienced and what we may still experiencing in the present moment. Such a strategy of reasoning and thinking—which is widely used for solving problems—is dubbed divide-to-conquer. It reminds us of the image of a puzzle yet a dynamic one. Instead of having a hard-wired, single way of assembling, each one of us may find a truthful and meaningful way of doing that; a way that is better aligned with our own path, which may reveal secrets no one else was able to realise or understand properly before. Buddha, the enlightened one, was able to attain his own understanding of suffering after realising and understanding ...

  Recognising the presence in the surroundings of what we would like to end the most is the certainty of why it’s essential to attain higher levels of peace of mind in order to understand the learning curse of how to wait patiently for an opportunity that the universe whether may offer or not to close a chapter that should never get written. We need consciousness at hand to understand our own suffering, letting it not cloud our judgement. We need clarity of mind to acquire as much knowledge as we can to be sure of what we observe and experience in the present moment. And we need to perform our body and mind training to be prepared to make tough decisions, fearing nothing or no one. That’s part of the path we need to thrive towards our personal evolution, enhancing the self and surpassing our own limits no matter the circumstances. The predator mindset of survivability. When we start observing nature, we observe that every predator develops an extremely precise line of action, which...

  We’ve different ways to step into higher stages of our personal evolution, and it’s our personal duty to find the best and more suitable way of doing that, regarding the resources we’ve at hand and the environment we’re inserted into. Having a clear understanding of the aforementioned environment is a fundamental step to keep consciousness at hand, no matter the types of illusions we’ve contact with, and for how long we’re both dealing with and facing them. It’s by establishing a strong stance that we can get prepared to step into higher stages of our personal evolution, which implies acquiring higher levels of peace of mind, mainly in the face of challenges, difficulties, as well as obnoxious scenarios we may think it’s impossible either to face or deal with. If we hear there’s only one way to enhance, it’s wrong. It’s just conditioning, and therefore, it promotes no conscious understanding of what happens in the present moment. Although we follow a common and fundamental base, ...

  As the last Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, the enlightened one, has taught us through his teachings concerning how we deal with suffering and the negative consequences of it, which is related to how we perceive the environment we’re inserted into and everything in our surroundings, we need to keep ourselves in the present moment, being conscious of what happens both within and before us. Such a fundamental conscious posture implies becoming the king or queen of our personal reign we call mind, ruling it through a knowledge- and evidence-based regime instead of a belief- and slavery-based one. There’s no acceptance without understanding, and it cannot ever be, as understanding of what we do and experience is an essential pillar of our own existence that is carved on stone. Becoming king or queen of our own mind has a “price” to pay, and that “price” is always related to the environment we’re inserted into, and the people in our surroundings. The more dishonour, dishonesty, and decepti...
