The idea of perfection is a vivid illusion about a clouded perspective of the view that is observed in the present moment. There is no perfection as there is no way to control someone else. The idea of understanding suffering is based on the concept of impermanence but grounded on the bond between our own mind and everything that evolves our associated live vessel. We cannot change the live vessel during our lifepath, which implies we have to defend it by enhancing the power of the mind to turn our immune system very strong. Life in society goes in the same direction. The moment we get settled on a given location like the statue we can see in the picture, either we defend ourselves against external threats or we leave everything behind, including what is attached to the place. The choice is always the one that is required to support life itself.


History has the power to teach us some important details about the impermanence of the universe, and the correlation between different domains that have similar behaviours. We can compare ourselves easily with an independent territory, i.e. an established self-governed country. There is an army to defend the territory of the country as there is the immune system ready to defend our live vessel. The moment an unauthorised element enters the territory of a country, its army makes the recognition to see if it imposes a threat to the autonomy of the territory, as our immune system starts to be aware of something entering our body. Self-defence maneuvers begin the moment a threat is identified, which involves keeping the territory safe with little or no casualties, as our immune system tries to stop a threat with little or no side-effects to our own live vessel. We can do the same comparison with our privacy or anything related to the self, under our control and cultivation.


We defend ourselves against hatred by cultivating love, which does not imply we have no contact or experience of hatred ourselves. Performing our mind training to enhance our immune system could also be compared to learning and performing martial arts training in order to defend the self, and everything under our responsibility (like a Buddha statue) against the suffering of someone else. We move if we can but things we cannot move we have to be able to defend. We cannot move our cells from outside our body to prevent them from getting attacked but we can enhance our immune system to ensure they are well-defended.


There is no guarantee our defenses would be enough for the threats we face, as we are only able to realise the extent of what we are facing when we face it. The moment we realise the ultimate goal of mind training is preserving life itself, it is the moment we understand we have to defend not only our mind against suffering but also our live vessel against deterioration from any source.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  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 differe

Human stupidity is indeed far beyond infinity. It’s to face such an unlimited source of negativity that we need to tap into the unlimited power we’ve deep within: the power of our love nature. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do but eliminate the lack of knowledge and stupidity within our own perspective and relativity, vanishing any trace of darkness and its associated negative conditioning influencing the self while experiencing a period of suffering. The moment we realise the need to erase darkness from our own perspective and relativity, it’s the moment we understand we’re actually manifesting light—consciously and meaningfully—from the inside out. It’s quite simple to vanish darkness from our own perspective and relativity, and it begins with doing the right thing, following the common laws we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into. We need to clearly remember that common laws only exist to protect unconscious minds from themselves, as conscious being foll

The more we keep consciousness at hand to observe the present moment, the better we start understanding that time has passed but modern society is still the same as the one observed in ancient times. We have just changed a bit the common rules to prevent indiscriminate slaughtering on different disputes happening in areas with a more dense population. Deception, corruption, racism, discrimination, and any negativity are still being promoted by darkness, with a small but fundamental change: if we are not aligned with the chaotic behaviour established, we are considered sick and delusional, which is seen as a symptom of mental illnesses. Let’s just remember that the meaning of the prefix ‘de’ in English language denotes ‘removal or reversal’, which indicates that the society we live in is indeed an illusory scene fabricated and agreed by all conditioned minds present in a given environment. It’s by keeping consciousness at hand that we are able to understand that we live in a big and fab
