Quoting: PKDK (VALIS24/42) The ego is what allows one to know when one is CORRECT. To know that one's viewpoints are as valid as any other's. You are the victim here. I never said you were wrong. I believe we are BOTH right in our respective views. You cannot win this fight. I can only teach by showing you the example Do you wish to participate in this exercise? There is indeed a huge difference between you and the ego you The ego you is the one attempting now to call a draw and say that we are both right to avoid having the real you accept my offer. The mere fact that you are arguing semantics is enough to show me that you do not understand what I am attempting to communicate. And by the way, we don't need your 'universal consciousness.' We're fighting to free ourselves from it. You do not see that you are the one stuck in a universal consciousness trap I am the furthest from it.......I AM what you speak about but are afraid to actually be I fear nothing. This is why I keep coming back. You accuse me only of what you yourself are guilty of. Remember: you found MY thread. You have become convinced that you know something I do not know. What I know is that there are infinite paths to infinite realities. You seem to think there is only one way. That cannot be farther from the truth. So who is the one who is afraid, my friend? And that's "ego" with a lower case 'e.' Last Edited by Kai (VALIS24/42) on 07/27/2013 11:02 AM - Kai David Kravit (VALIS) |

Never let someone tell you you're "wrong." In an infinite universe there can only be "right." Everything is true in its own way. Anyone who tells you that they are the true master of the path is either lying to you or EXTREMELY small-minded. Even in the case of this thread...these ideas are meant to help one reach an understanding that everything can be everything, not to tell one that they are the only ways to an understanding. More likely: If someone attempts to tell you that you are wrong it is because they are extremely afraid that something which happened to them is going to happen to you. This is actually a way of looking out for someone. But it is based on the assumption that everyone is going to make the same mistakes, which is a rather ridiculous notion. If people need help THEY WILL ASK FOR IT. - Kai David Kravit (VALIS) |

This is a HARD PATH but it is possible and ANYONE is capable of doing these things. Quoting: PKDK (VALIS24/42) 1. ERASE GUILT - It is NOT your fault that life is fucked up. Don't let anyone tell you that life ISN'T fucked up because it is! Does anyone honestly believe that the universe SHOULD be this excruciating, unfair, and hard on people who are already alone and sad? Too many people are attacked by others who will tell you things like, "Everyone's life is hard. You think you're special?" People who say these things are slaves themselves and have no idea what is driving them. Realize that this fucked up situation has NOTHING to do with anything you are responsible for. That is the first step. Contradicting yourself at every turn you are That is one example of the ego which also will tell you that you are not contradictory |

Anyone who is trying to persuade someone of anything (which usually entails being WRONG) has an agenda. The words of any person who has an agenda should be taken with a grain of salt. Persuasion is almost ALWAYS used to get someone to do what the persuader wants. This does not mean that the persuader is "bad," but merely that they are not getting the full message. Information works differently. It allows for the receiver to come to their own conclusions based solely on the value or lack of value they receive from said information. - Kai David Kravit (VALIS) |

Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong for having an ego. Do not let anyone tell you that "you're not special." Our strongest tool in maintaining our sanity and our individuality in this irrational place is our ability to distinguish ourselves from others. If we lose this, we become hive-minded animals. Not that there is anything wrong with having a hive mind. But I, for one, like the person I am. I believe there are others like me out there who need someone to tell them this. - Kai David Kravit (VALIS) |
