That’s exactly the issue. We should strive to be better than that.

Sure, I don't agree with the approach of most vegans either. But watch those documentaries and tell me that isn't ugly. I'm not against eating meat. It's about the way we produce meat and treat other beings on this planet. We abuse and rape the planet in so many ways, this is undeniable. Because most people still think of everything that isn't human as a mere object we can exploit. That is not the case, everything has its price. This is not about judging, but becoming conscious of what we're doing. We are still living in the dark ages while pretending there's no issue. A lot of people don't want to know how their meat is produced, because it feels too uncomfortable. That is avoiding responsibility and goes against everything we teach here. To love Truth means to open up to all the ugliness we are creating. That's the only way to Beauty, not by falsely pretending otherwise. The only way to real lasting Peace is confronting all the ways we are violent. Else we keep sweeping things under the rug where they fester and become even more ugly. Look at the state of the world right now. Is this a species that is conscious of what it is doing?

As someone once put it: There are trips that are challenging in the way getting mugged in an alleyway is challenging.

By increasing Consciousness, which can't be forced. But eventually one realizes that the suffering of all creatures is our own suffering, because the division between self & other is imaginary. When chicken babies get shredded it's literally you as a chicken baby getting shredded. Which makes it also a lot more difficult to become conscious, because you become conscious of all other being's suffering, too. So we distance ourselves from God even further and indulge in pleasures. It's a vicious spiral. On the other hand otherwise it wouldn't be possible to create so much darkness here. Who knows what that's good for... In the end we will have to confront all that someday, somehow. That will be only possible by coming together as Humanity. No single individual is able to bear the darkness we have created and keep creating.

Awesome, then you can make psychedelic experiences just by stopping all those drugs (not recommending anything here)

You can't escape it. But it's possible to love. Takes work though.

Exactly. Here on Earth is your chance to do the work, not in some kind of afterlife. It has cost a lot of work & time to get you to the place you're at now, don't just throw it away. You'd have to live all of this again (in some way or another) just to start working on those issues again.

Youll always have a world view. Which is another word for belief system. You can only invent better, more inclusive, more loving perspectives on Life. There’s no way around this. You can connect to the Divine very directly, but you still have to interpret that to be able to communicate. and honestly that’s a great thing. We‘re like Artists of the Divine in that regard. We are its canvas & brush.

But it is only through the Freedom to experience not-Love that Truth is able to know itself as Love. That's what this is. It is Love unfolding itself. The Process is messy & interactive.

You just haven't realized the total Beauty of it all. The first bite of the Apple of the Tree Of Knowledge Of Good & Evil leads you to madness. But out of its seeds grows the Divine itself.

Sure, but does that mean we should stop progressing?

Well, all previous attempts were not advanced enough. That shouldn't stop us from keeping on trying.

Sure. We need to find the story of all stories. The Cosmos isn't gonna accept less ✨

Our best shot in my view is to find a new way to religion. It has to be more powerfull than all that came before and at the same time be totally free of violence. How's that for a paradox? Maybe it's possible to twist the plot that way.. Because it surely doesn't look good right now. Pure philosophy isn't gonna cut it anymore. I'm trying. But whatever it is shall be.

Escaping through so-called "liberation" by the buddhists is not True. The True Path to Liberation leads through the Deepest Darkness. No single human is able to bear that by oneself. So buddhists just invented death++ haha. But that's no escape either, I'll tell ya. There's no escape—except through the Heart of the Beast. Which is... us! Tadaa... But we're still stuck killing ourselves and being barbaric out there. Try convincing 95% of humans of this stuff. They rather burn you at the stake because intuitively they know exactly what that would mean..

Death doesn't really exist, true. But tell that your ego

It reintegrates into something greater. God is like a shattered mirror and all egos are its pieces. But he had to do that to be able to get to know Himself. That's where we are right now. But it can't stay that way. That's why pressure is building. It was designed like that from the very beginning. You are me and I am you. But good luck reuniting ✨ Humanity will reunite once more and then we will realize that we were ONE all along. But that requires us to face all the darkness we created and keep creating, too. And we don't really want that..

Haha sure. That wouldn't explain the world we live in right now. It has to be a knot. And the knot is created by the ego's resistance to die. It's genius design, actually. That also explains why Evolution keeps accelerating, for the most part. But there are blockades and barriers on the way and we're facing one of the greatest right now (up to now). All those wars are driven by egos wanting to survive. Also they don't want to face their shadows, which is why they fight against them in the outside world. But that only makes matters worse. We need a complete paradigm shift to solve this huge mess we're in right now. And one of the ways to help is by learning to surrender! Then you can become an arbiter of Love, which looks like Death from an ego's perspective. Which is why they had to kill Jesus.. he was too advanced for his time. He was about to disturb all those systems of powers that were in place, so the collective ego had to find a way to vilify him. Out of the ego's perspective of the time this was completely justified and even normal behaviour for someone so disrupting to the prevailing order. Is it easy for you to admit when you were wrong? That's one way of knowing how good you are at "just changing" when you see something truer.

Because Truth requires the ego to die again and again, like a serpent shedding its skin. Egos usually don't like dying, but you can get better at it.

I didn't say ego was an issue per se. But Truth is infinite & eternal while the ego is limited and finite. Truth encompasses all egos. It's not about what's better, it's about what is higher. Better and worse are human constructs.

Define ego.

Truth embraces the ego, but not the other way around ✨
