Facing darkness and dealing with discrimination, racism, and therefore, violations of fundamental rights promoted to be considered a normal behaviour is something we need knowledge to realise and understand the existence of. The acquisition of knowledge, combined with keeping consciousness at hand no matter the circumstances, is essential to prevent the self from falling into the trap of believing discrimination as a normal behaviour. If we go back to history, enslaving people were legal, and considered normal. Now, thousands of years later, there’s a general understanding that slavery is wrong; it was already wrong thousand years ago yet the majority has had no consciousness about that. The golden rule of facing darkness is: if something we’re facing or dealing with isn’t aligned with our love nature, there’s nothing that can be said to make it becoming acceptable and right to a conscious mind. Therefore, when dealing with and understanding our own suffering, diminishing and channelling negativity to something meaningful and beneficial is the way of cultivating and nurturing the beautiful light we’ve deep within.
Facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into requires a mindset of knowledge acquisition. It’s through acquiring knowledge as much as we can that we’re able to enhance the self, being resilient against the presence of darkness in the surroundings.
After establishing the aforementioned mindset, cultivating and nurturing the beautiful light we’ve deep within becomes the foundation of walking the path towards a meaningful life no matter the circumstances. We start clearly understanding the purpose of performing our body and mind training, enhancing the self and stepping into our personal evolution.
We may not be able to end discrimination, racism, or even slavery in the environment we’re inserted into. However, we’re able to end its promotion and dissemination as a normal practice and behaviour within our own perspective and relativity, contributing to the evolution of the species in a conscious and meaningful way.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
