It’s important that we get aware and awaken to the presence of darkness in the surroundings, understanding what happens in the present moment in a conscious and meaningful way. We need to understand that mind in suffering attempting to harm others, mainly the ones targeting us, will never stop until they see us fearing their presence, getting desperate, and stepping into a deep period of suffering ourselves as the result of being not strong enough to deal with the huge amount of deception and negativity before the self. When that becomes crystal clear, we can understand why people become slaves of their own suffering, which implies fearing the actions of other minds in suffering towards them. The truth is: we’ve no reason to fear anyone; not because nothing is happening but because we can handle anything if we keep consciousness at hand no matter the circumstances. The more we realise that, the better we understand how unlimited the power we’ve deep within is.
Let’s get totally aware of what happens in the present moment, understanding the consequences of facing the presence of darkness in the surroundings. If we get afraid of doing that, embracing darkness and stepping into a deep and infinite loop of suffering, we need to think a little bit about what may happen next. Imagine we embrace darkness, stepping into a deep and infinite loop of suffering, following the negative conditioning we’re subjected to, and therefore, behaving like a slave. If we do that, the only certainty we’ve is that one day someone considering themselves superior will impose something towards us, and if we disagree with doing what has been imposed because it violates our fundamental human rights, violates some common laws, or even both, we’ll get punished, which may include life threatening actions. Let’s remember in all slavery-related relations, the ones considered slaves do the dirty work while the ones considered masters, if their slaves get caught, will deny everything, and in the impossibility of doing that, will sacrifice the slave with no hesitation. We just need to look into history to see it clearly. Situations like that have happened multiple times in ancient societies where slavery-related relations were established.
The real problem of dealing with obnoxious situations caused by minds in suffering is knowing exactly the majority of them are puppets in the hands of people who have more influence, and control over the society we’re part of. That’s why it’s extremely important to perform our body and mind training, keeping consciousness at hand, and getting prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres in a conscious and meaningful way, caring about life as the ultimate goal while standing strong and resilient against darkness and the cult of hate being promoted.
The more we realise how important being conscious is, the better we understand how important performing our body and mind training, and being aware and awake of what happens in the present moments is.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
