[Terell Kirby]

What controls do you have in place to prevent you from becoming a Zen Devil on the spiritual path?

[Thought Art]

Because zen devil still work for the self, aint enlightened completely. If you realize the truth and still depending on the self or ego. Thats aint enlightenment.

I fell into this trap for a few days, if you have an awakening. Your ego can really take control of it without you even realising. You think you have no ego but then there is still some ego there which you are not really conscious of at the time. It is very tricky.

What is me? What is everything or nothing? Sentences, knowledges or bunch of thoughts?

@Terell Kirby

OP assumes there is you who can have controls in place to prevent becoming something. 

Trusting is better in my opinion.
