Although we cannot control the outside, we can get prepared to face and deal with anything we observe in the surroundings, mainly those things that aren’t aligned with our love nature. There’s no need to either accept or embrace any type of negative conditioning we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into. We’re much more powerful than we may think we’re. Instead of freezing in the face of the presence of darkness, afraid of getting left alone, we can take the opportunity to enhance and step into our personal evolution, increasing both our physical strength and mind sharpness. The moment we start combining and enhancing body and mind through their intrinsic and natural bond, it’s the moment we establish a solid and robust foundation for facing the presence of darkness in the surroundings, no matter the circumstances.
There’s no need to be afraid of the presence of darkness in the surroundings, although we need to keep alert and perform our body and mind training to prevent being caught unprepared for dealing with the unknown. Darkness dominance and control starts on our inactivity and inability to deal with unexpected situations we’ve disregarded the purpose of getting prepared for. Life in modern society is getting—more and more—people to adopt a submissive lifestyle, becoming imprisoned within their own suffering and comfort zone that says to do nothing if something wrong isn’t affecting them directly, and becoming submissive if it does so. We need to stop such harmful behaviour that is leading to chaos to become a hidden way of ruling the masses through what we may call hidden tyranny.
In ancient times, facing a tyrant would represent getting a prize to our head, which depending on the situation, would imply a huge amount of money to whom could get us killed for posing difficulties to awful plans of dominance and control. Therefore, a way of defending ourselves against such a tyranny was learning the art of the sword together with martial arts training. With the advance of time, creation of common laws, and therefore, the abolition of slavery as a common and widespread practice, facing a tyrant may still represent getting a prize to our head. However, instead of offering a prize to get us killed, a less aggressive approach may use dishonour and deceptive actions to get someone diagnosed with a severe mental illness, which until present day (year 2025) has no origins precisely known, even by the experts in the field. Therefore, no one is able to point out the difference between the outcomes resulting from prosecution or true madness. And I’ve to say, in my humble opinion, tyranny is the clear example of what true madness really is. However, such a definition isn’t accepted by people who find in discrimination and maintenance of privileges a way of living a life in modern society.
The moment we realise that performing our body and mind training is the way of dealing with the unknown in a conscious and meaningful way, it’s the moment we understand true madness is a result of a mind in suffering who had never the courage to step up and hold the rightful position of ruler of their own mind.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
