Suggestions and assertions are not awareness. I wish you good luck with your learning process.

Yes, when people delight in violence it often leads to hard lessons. In fact, there is one circling around you at the moment. I would advise caution.

The first step would be to get clear on where you are going in your own life, then get clear on where you are going as part of that inter-connection. Some people have spoken of "the universal", which can mean an underlying common ground. Constant contact with this common ground would eventually lead to a "universal" understanding. Then perhaps to a vastness from which "the universal" has arisen. "Perhaps" is a word I like to use very often.

Its a very prevalent issue with the emerging wisdom community of the modern western world. You could consider this grey area of exploitation as some sort of "growing pains" but that probably doesn't make it less painful for the people going through it. There are many shades to it, and it runs very subtle. It could appear harmless to everyone and may just end up doing nothing more than wasting a bit of time. Or it could cause all manner of suffering in peoples lives. The evidence for this is all over the place, but only if you are willing to investigate. The problem that people in the western world were less prepared to deal with was the demonstration of strange and non-ordinary experiences, which people in the east, (particularly india and tibet and china so forth) are much more accustomed to as just another part of life. They tend to have a cultural understanding that such ability does not necessarily indicate anything other than power. While it is true there is a tradition of siddhas and mahasiddhas who overpower the phenomenal world in an enlightened way, that does not mean that siddhis for their own sake are relevant to enlightenment. In fact, many traditions warn against them because they are so enticing, because they work so well - it becomes a trap for certain people such as Bubba Free John and others of his ilk. The modern western world is now learning this lesson the hard way, but for some people its the only way possible. The question is how long will it take, and how much pain will all these people have to endure?

Yeh, eventually he came to a new understanding of it.
