  1. The reason I ask is because emotions are already on shaky ground in spiritual enlightenment discussions. For me to even say emotions go beyond ego is already going to be unpopular. So this is an uphill battle for me. It's not really a battle, but it could easily devolve into one, which I'm trying to avoid.
  2. Are you open to having a conversation about this? I don't want to insist if it's a touchy subject.
  3. I disagree. Criticism always follows from anger. We might disagree here. I didn't say criticism is the only source of anger. I hope not.
  4. Absolute Love is Divine Feeling. This is just a pointer. You have to find this for yourself. But you asked me, so that's my pointer.
  5. Nobody behaves this way.
  6. I'll frame it like this, show me someone who never criticizes anything. That's someone truly without anger. And that is very rare.
  7. Yeah we need another deconstructing deconstructing.
  8. To counter you here what I find is a denial of ego that is most revealing. This is the archetype of the faker revealed.
  9. It's best to take this with a grain of salt so to speak.
  10. I would say this would be the wrong approach. This is way too theoretical and nobody will integrate this.
  11. I've had this debate many times already. If this feels right to you, I would say keep on keeping on with it.
  12. This just shows me you don't know what Love is. This is common. People who know Truth don't necessarily know Love.
  13. It's good to be mindful of how much theory you actually put into practice. Think of all the plans you made that you didn't actually implement. We go to theory thinking it will help us with practice without realizing there is no guarantee at all here.
  14. You seem to be selective when you use and when you omit "you". It's not consistent.
  15. I would agree with this take if people who believe this would actually put it into practice. To me this is a weird conceptual layer almost like a philosophical religion.
  16. I think there's a myth in spiritual enlightenment groupthink that anger or being triggered is always caused by ego. Ditto for all emotions seen as belonging to ego alone.
  17. Yes. And then we have Intuition which is part of Beauty IMO. But Truth is the foundation.
  18. Not only did Phil ban you but they wiped out all your content.
