I’m Becoming Tempted to Drop Random Spiritual Phrases on People that Annoy Me

[bmcnicho]

Like someone wants me to do something and I could just say “There is no doer-ship”

Or someone’s worried about something and I say “The future is imaginary”

Or someone insults me and I say “The boundary between self and other is imaginary, so you’re really just insulting yourself”

I would take the time to correctly explain these ideas to someone who was interested, but for people who aren’t, is there any harm in trolling them in this way?

Be careful not to use spiritual insights as a weapon.

It's a nice way to come off as a weirdo

Hopefully not too long from now you will realize how cringe such action is.

They will think you're one of 'em stage Greens..??

"Greenstagers"??

[lostingenosmaze]

You wouldn't be tempted if you were around when that mod-who-must-not-be-named went on spamming that Neo-Advaitan nonsense ?

[puporing]

Maybe the desire for doing this is because you feel alone in your understanding and have not fully accepted the cost of reaching where you are at.

[BipolarGrowth]

Sounds like a fantastic idea!!! What possibly could go wrong?

[Osaid]

You're tempted to be a spiritual devil

Great video

@Leo Gura What’s cringe about it? I find it funny when you troll people on this forum. Maybe I need to come up with some better lines

@Osaid This is hilarious! I get the point that the brown bear is taking things too far, but it does seem like a good way of shutting down ignorance

@bmcnicho go for it and let me know how it went ?

[PenguinPablo]

@bmcnicho honestly just comes across super pretentious and passive aggressive.

[RickyFitts]

Oh you should definitely do this, I only wish I could be there to see it because I'd absolutely piss my sides at their puzzled expressions! ?

Oh I'm mean sometimes...

[Breakingthewall]

You can do that if you don't mind that people think of you as an idiot trying to appear superior because you feel inferior.

Nope, it's not.

It's pretentious, cringe and nothing but a silly game. "Look at how much better I am, I know more than you, I'm more conscious than you." That's what you're saying.

1) 'Why don't you wake up already, stop being lost in your illusions, realise that you are ignorant'  ---> "Ohh, thanks dude, i haven't thought about that, now you helped me a lot!"

2) 'Why don't you wake up already, stop being lost in your illusions, realise that you are ignorant' ---> "Dude, shut the hell up and don't talk to me ever again, you are boring, and provoking. Also i don't know Who tf asked?"

Which one is more likely, the first or the second one?

 I read that one as sarcasm ?

Definitely the first one.

I used to do the same. Eventually, you'll end up suffering for it.
