How To Apply Our Spiritual Learning In Today's Modern/Satanic Society?
I am trying to put all my learning into practise - Accepting and forgiving my enemies, rising above base material needs, not identifying with my identity etc...

How far do I go with this? What if I were about to be murdered? Do I defend myself or do I accept the murderer for what he is and lovingly give my life to him?

Any other practical advice to apply our learning in today's modern/Satanic society?

Spirituality daily is summed in these words best indeed:

Love your neighbor AS yourself. James 2:8

The devil is in detail: ... neiter more nor less than you love yourself.

Yes. I find it is the most difficult thing to accept and forgive those who offend me but I am trying. Gosh, it's SO hard.

But that's what makes life so challenging.

Yes but by defending yourself and killing your aggressor, you may actually be helping with that souls karma (say if they were going to go on and kill another five people).

Yes good point. Its hard to know when to stand up for yourself against others and when not to.

Some people at work are taking the piss a bit but I say nothing because a) I'm scared of them and b) I want to rise above the anger I have towards them. Or do I need to rise above the fear and confront them?

I'm confused.

The anger and fear you have have to go towards you as well. That´s what the quote from the bible is about: eguality for all and everyone, towars you and them. Only then can liberation come, the liberation of your mind first.

Transmutate the lower natures (material) ; Regenerate the higher natures (spiritual)! Alchemy ;)

Don´t be a coward towards them BUT know you cannot win anything spiritually by defeating them or giving in to them. That´s an another topic IMO.

Spirituality is about one´s self - not "THEM".

The goal of spirituality is to get rid of false beliefs about yourself, the false ego. False beliefs lead to wrong doing - is an another issue too.
