    There is a story a Buddhsit Master once shared "An eager devotee of Buddha was rushing to "See" the Buddha, but as he rushed to not miss the Buddha, he never noticed a suffering hungry man on the journey , When he arrived there, he was unable to "See the Buddha"..

    I've definitley known ascetics who took "nonattachment" to the extremes of rudeness and irresponsiblity. I've also sadly run into environments that touted themselves as embracing all paths and spiritual systems only to find out the same old spiritual intolerance, judgementalism and insecurities to be leveled at peeps who want to explore the rosary practice for example, unfortunate human condition. Thanks for another great talk!

    A very nice message and I agree 100%. Life and the beings within this world is our mirror to see ourselves and to know ourselves. We are to love the one we see in the mirror and the mirror for showing us the one we are to love.

    Non-attachment to me appears to mean losing friends and loved ones. It works better for someone like me whose family do not speak to me. I feel this is why (Tibetan) monks typically isolate themselves in their end days.

    Initiation is a double-edged sword. So often those who gain some small Spiritual or Magickal insight exhibit a corresponding (or greater) increase in egoism and arrogance. This is clearly a trap for anyone on the Spiritual Path. Such errant traits need to be reigned in and brought under the control of Will if one sincerely hopes to ascend to Wisdom through Understanding; Atu VII hints at this. Hence the importance of vigilance and honest self-reflection. Of course, having a solid system of tracking and measuring progress is also useful.

    This is the reason "the middle way" is a thing. When I think of non-attachment as the way of non-suffering, I also think it must be impossible to detach yourself voluntarily from your love of living beings in your life and detaching yourself from them is worse suffering than losing them through death or absence.

    I spent my youth trying to reach Nirvana. It took up all of my time and caused me to go through considerable existential crisis. I would up on drugs and thoroughly miserable. It would be many years later when that dream died. A few years later before I did discern that Kurt Cobain is not Buddha. I mean - he's far too skinny, violently self-destructive, and it stained a lot of my life.
    I saw this as tongue-in-cheek humour, however, music was a form of self-expression and I believed I would be famous and successful It never happened and I felt the pain of existence. I feel a lot of young people seek spiritual beliefs through the vapid emotions of music.

    In my journey for wisdom; I had a demon accuse me of being a coward in this life, and I had a spiritual leader tell me that my karma is to aid others in putting the world back together after another civilization collaps - and then followed that up by saying that in a past life I was an Alantean, and failed in my duties to help others in that tragedy. So far, I haven't been able to open the Akashic records to find out more. But the demon wasn't lying when it said I'm a coward. Why that is has never been clear.
    If any of this is possible, and there is a being, saddled with a world-ending Karmic debt, living out life after life long before and after Jesus has graduated in life. That soul would be entrenched in some serious overtime to overcome said karmic debt trap.

    Its a struggle keep the balance been studding Kabbalah, Gnostic Christianity and various other religions But it seems the closer you get to the Source i.e god, the creator the further you detach from this ordinary realm. Realization that you are a spiritual being and god or the creative force is within you can and often does change the very core of your awareness. The more you disassociate with the ego the mor your whole prospective changes it is definitely something to take slow and often requires breaks and time to assorbe. The realization of the difference between a pure spiritual existence and this mundane existence can be very disturbing. We have to hold on to the fact that we are here for a reason to learn, and that we have gotten this far in our souls journey

      I'd even say that enlightenment isn't even the "goal" or life path for the vast, vast majority of souls who come down here. The spiritual path is optional. The purpose of life is to experience being human, ascension into spiritual existence while still on earth is still just one of many experiences a soul can choose to have for a given incarnation. I don't even really believe in "Samsara", and I think that we are already "fully evolved" in the eternal realm, so there is no need to "gain enlightenment" to "escape" reincarnation. Nothing is required of you except to simply be here. Being human is a difficult enough feat in and of itself due to the harsh nature of this mundane world. The higher self can choose to reincarnate on earth, or it may not, but coming here is an act of heroism that upholds all of creation.

      This is where I am right now. It's a hero’s journey. Facing the dark Knight of your soul is not easy. I had much of my traumatic past flooding my mind non-stop. I started going to a therapist to walk me through processing this. The upside is I feel like I am going through a spiritual awakening and every day I experience pure joy more and more and my trauma
      Thoughts get less and less. My next step is starting meditation.

With the master TNH in France.You have to understand that mindfulness is taught badly, it needs the 8 fold path practice so you don’t go wrong.I understand your point that it can go to the point of not being bothered by others plight.My own experience culminated in that feeling of complete non attachment.At that point I started to read Rudolf Steiner and that was a huge revelation.He is all about the I and Christ
    It can be used to watch the shadow side and control it,that’s good.I have seen people become like empty , unemotional vessels.My dearest friend became a monk at age 50 and suicided after 2-3 years, we don’t know why and he had a family history of these suicides but still…

    I keep it simple. I believe the ultimate purpose is to connect and return to source. To self actualise, connect to the higher self and become the best version of your self and that means you walk and talk with light and love and have everything else going for you.
    If you participate in mindfullness or meditation but you do not display any of the above, then for me, you are just connecting to low level archons and I get away from you.
    The amount of depressed, judgemental and self absorbed entities who are quick to try and convince me of their way of life is just mind boggling, like dude, become the change you want to see.
    If someone is emanating light, i'm sure as hell going to do everything to get close and find out how I can get in on it. Simple.

When you told the Budda story, it reminded me of some folks who attended yoga classes as well as people who attended this spiritual retreat in Eastern US that I went to every few years. Especially at the retreat some people simply looked miserable, taking things far too seriously and acted distant. It didn't appear healthy to me then. Only I now feel compassion toward them due to hearing your words. And, congratulations on the 10k mark!

      well. Ask yourself which life you would be proud of living. Pious life or a chaos life. If this is it, nothing afterwards, it won’t make a difference anyways! If there is something, you’ll wish you knew the life you should have lived.
      This is why I’m pursuing the Abramelin Operation. It’s either real or it’s not. Either way I’ll have my answer. No matter the outcome, I’ll have studied the lessons and allegories of the religious works to live a balanced life (which is entirely the point)

    If you meditate or practice any part of a pagan religion, you open yourself to demons attachment that translates in the science realm to psychosis episodes. The path to healing and peace is in Abrahamic religions, and the more monotheistic and ideologically cohesive the religion is, the better the results in peace and security mentally, emotionally and physically. I recommend Islam, but hey, research for yourself.
    Practising true monotheism doesn’t prevent suffering in life, but your roots will be much more solid. It will mitigate any ordeal because you choose the right way to connect with your true one and only creator aided by a discerning belief system, surrounded by a congregation that is empathetic to your needs and alive with common big, well-defined aspirations for this life and after.
    Unlike the Pagan religion, which has scattered infinite gods, amorphous visions, and inspirations, it theoretically works well for the secular world as it does not demand a lot of conformity. You can “pick and choose” if you want to practice some of it and leave others, but it is detrimental to human nature.
    Human nature is wired for conformity, like the Ants empire, especially in the spiritual realm, more than in the practical civilian realm.
    Pagan religions and philosophies like Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism might spread a message that you can pick and choose any parts and leave as you wish. But in reality, once these demons attach to you, you only have two options: severe mental illness or diving deep into practising and exploring Paganism and Shamanism while still suffering from mental illness, a lack of emotional and spiritual security and a lack of solid societal support.
    As a result, you will be forced to conform, but you will conform to the confused and unsettled way of life due to confused indefinite visions that will multiply the effect of any downfall you will face.
    Even if millions believe in the same indefinite visions as you do, you will have a weak societal connection. It is like having a common language with indefinite letters, and everyone unlocks words and sounds every day; there will be no
    common language and ground.
    And believe me, having unlimited letters and sounds in a language is much less detrimental to the individual psyche than unlimited gods, visions, and aspirations.

    Just here to give you a loving warning. Practicing spells of any kind, is against the plan of the Creator, Almighty God. We are to use prayer, to speak to the Lord God directly. Jesus Christ is there for you, and loves you, but you need to repent. I am glad you recognized the true nature of demons, but the Bible already warned you of this. The devil is a liar, and deceiver, and murderer, from the beginning. Leave all of this magic behind, and find a local church and confess to the pastor. They will guide you correctly. The things you seek - peace, purpose, love, all of these things are found only in Christ Jesus. Pray to Him, and repent. Ask God to come into your life and help you change.

      The other disciples therefore said unto him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said unto them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” And none of the above is needed to foucs your will and intent to accomplish a goal.

      I was on your path. Driven by a desire for truth, I was led to atheism for a time, which I recognize in hindsight as a pallet cleanse, to let go of dogmas that blinded me. I was then led back to belief, but with open eyes, to see the many deceptions in today's belief systems. I have found a home in magick, center path. I feel more connected to the divine, and on a path of truth, than ever before in my life. In closing, recall that King Solomon used magick and commanded demons, in service of his god Yhwh, who most Christians believe is Jesus' father and the creator of all.
