What are your tradition's safeguards against self-delusion or being deluded by others?
Nungali replied to Wilhelm's topic in General Discussion
I am going to classify this 'deluding yourself' as 'spiritual pride' and the remedy against that is a sense of humour, especially about the self and its sacred cows and the tradition itself . The 'deluded by others' remedy is developing a sharp and observant mind, becoming aware of your own propensities and weaknesses ( including what areas of 'flattery' you are susceptible to ) and learning about the different types of human psychologies, including your own and where your strengths and weaknesses lie ( eg . via astrology ) And following and being attentive to its teachings eg; * Yet, oh aspirant, let thy victories bring thee not Vanity, for with increase of Knowledge should come increase of Wisdom. He who knoweth little, thinketh he knoweth much; but he who knoweth much hath learned his own ignorance. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? * Thou therefore who desirest Magical Gifts, be sure that thy soul is firm and steadfast; for it is by flattering thy weaknesses that the Weak Ones will gain power over thee. Humble thyself before thy Self, yet fear neither man not spirit. Fear is failure, and the forerunner of failure: and courage is the beginning of virtue * Worship and neglect not, the physical body which is thy temporary connection with the outer and material world. Therefore let thy mental Equilibrium be above disturbance by material events; strengthen and control the animal passions, discipline the emotions and the reason, nourish the Higher Aspirations * . Do good unto others for its own sake, not for reward, not for gratitude from them, not for sympathy. If thou art generous, thou wilt not long for thine ears to be tickled by expressions of gratitude * Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether these exist or not. By doing certain things certain results will follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philosophic validity to any of them. . The advantages to be gained from them are chiefly these: ("a") A widening of the horizon of the mind. ("b") An improvement of the control of the mind. ... and so on . Then you would be a Naep . 'New Age Enlightened Person' A few years back - woman friend that had a Naep ' courting her ' ( wow , thats old fashioned ! .... he 'wanted to have sex with her ) so telling her all sorts of BS . One day she angriy declares " I've got more enlightenment in my little finger than everyone arond here ." Pfffft ! It deals with that by having nothing to do with it . It doesnt have 'enlightenment ; in it . What is it anyway ? Ask the question here and see the variety and type of answers you get . Regarding whether one is full of it or not, the above techniques help . Also empty claims are not on - each level of achievement is done by examination and what is produced requiring physical, intellectual and philosophical achievement in certain fields . NOW we get to the juice . ... we dont have one . I suppose the closest thing would be knowing and understanding your specific purpose for this incarnation and getting on with it . 1. As above . 2. As I said above, its not a term we use . But I can substitute the question with , lets say ' the achievement of levels towards 'our aims ' and remove the word 'enlightenment ' ; " if I were to tell you that I had ' achieved ' according to the definition provided by your tradition (to be clear, I'm not actually claiming this), how would you know if I was full of shit or not? I could test you . We have 'tests' so we can recognise and identify each other . 3. Well, yes and no ...... yes to over the forum as its easy to discern who is a flamin' idiot but to sort out as in my 2. above , practical demo required . -
Your PPD ? That selection of untitled posts with no subject matter and no content because you edited it all away ? No thanks .

Oh, I get you now . They do have a bad rep in the animal world - ie the other animals are not too keen on them . A friend was telling me she has a 'monster' in the gully at her place ; ' I heard a sound like I never heard before , an angry violent snarly sound coming from the gully , then all these little animals and birds came bolting out the undergrowth and took off in a panic ." The next morning I found a little potaroo with its head ripped off on my front lawn .... yep, that's a quoll. .

'Great Mother' made 'The Garden of Eden' for 'the People' . All you need is a log and some sticks and stones , the rest 'provided' ( by Mum ) . She never kicked no one out though ! ( Although some people did break in and fuck it right up .)

There was a mixup with her name ..... her middle name became her surname in one record . Its another strange 'why '.

Sagebrush; " .... .Nowhere in any post inside this vaccine thread did I state that I trust experts. So officially you are incorrect. ......

Its not really a cat . Its a marsupial called a ' native cat' as they fulfilled the role of feleformia ' here in this environment . He was a 'cheeky fellow ' * ( The thylacine was called 'Tasmanian Tiger' which related more to its 'stripes , but its niche was more like caniformia. ) Spotted Quoll ( or 'Tiger Quoll ' , just to confuse things more ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_quoll The rainforest around here is one of their rare habitats . Ummm .... dont try to pick one up . *

That made me think about the unreasonable fear that seized me after I bonded with the twins . So this is 'parenthood' ... or a taste of it (since I wasnt their father ) . But it wasnt about death , more about 'arrested ' or 'interfered with ' development . But , they are strong little spirits and survived all sorts of stuff ..... not much is going to change them , they are 'triumphing' against the attempts ! - just like me !

Thanks for the reply . In my practice , 'the earthly portion' IS divine . Welcome to heaven (if you can find it ) .

Then I dont think you are going to find what you want here on this (or any) internet forum . You are in the wrong place . This is probably why you are getting frustrated and angry with us all . (and to pre-empt Limi )
