I'll check it out when it comes out on streaming.

I am not judging your hatred. I am just refusing to hate Reality since I know Reality is Me. Why would I want to hate Myself? If I hated you, I could not understand you. I choose understanding over hate. My radical claim is: if you fully understand any aspect of Reality, you will not hate it, no matter how bad it is.

The Devil, on his deathbed, starts to pray Suffering awakens better than comfort, pleasure, and success. Suffering is the greatest teacher.

I say that this is a clever self-deception. If you understood what I understand, you would not hate anyone. But I can't prove this to you. You just have to intuit that hating any part of Truth is a mistake. Imagine if I hated you for being a hater. Would that be wise of me? No. It would an error. You are doing hate for me but not for thee.

Don't kid yourself. That's exactly what it means. With your attitude you will never understand the deepest things I teach. You have chosen hate over understanding.

In order to find them, you yourself would first need to understand those issues very deeply, otherwise you wouldn't know who knows. Understanding comes in many degrees. I am talking about how to attain unusual depth, which requires non-moralizing.

Why would I want Trump to go to Hell? I never said that. I am exaggerating. But seriously. I dare you to find examples of people who understand those issues deeply. It is almost non-existent in popular discourse. Maybe some guy in basement understands, but not on social media.

Matrix. New.

I rest my case.

From the other side, does any American conservative understand socialism or Marxism? Not at all. They are too busy hating it. You can't understand what you hate. That's why you hate it.

I got 160,000 miles on my Toyota. The only thing that ever broke on it was a plastic oil filter cap. It just works.

Was it good?

Yes, but it goes deeper too. Notice that if you judged Hitler like most people do, you would never spend weeks empathizing with him. In fact, you would call anyone doing that a Nazi. Why do leftists call everyone on the right a fascist, a Nazi, a racist, etc? How many Americans understand Putin? None. How many leftists understand Elon Musk? None!

@Joshe Take for example Netanyahu. Does any leftist understand Netanyahu? No. Not at all. Why? Because they cannot stop judging him. Do I understand Netanyahu? Yes. A lot better than they do. Why? Because I do not judge him. Leftists are incapable of understanding conservatives due to this. Even when I judge someone, I know that all judgment is relativistic, but others don't know that. This makes an enormous difference. My judgment is like firecrackers and leftist judgment is like a nuclear bomb.

It depends on how deep you want understanding to be. For shallow forms of understanding, some judgment is acceptable. But not the highest levels that I am interested in. And yes, my judgment does reduce my understanding. Which is why I am warning you guys. And there are other factors at play besides judgment, like bias.

You think I am a moralizer?

He's a political opportunist and demagogue. He just does whatever works on the right.

@iamlite Good, good. You're starting to get it.

I've talked to thousands of girls and never had this problem. This is an internet invented problem.

It takes many years of work to turn passion into profit. Most people don't have the time or resources. Passion sounds like the fun path, but it is not the easy path. The easy path is to go work for McDonalds, forget passion, and just watch TV at night.

Man, you need to practice asking more clear questions. I can't answer something so vague, unclear, and ambiguous.

I added a warning.

Dude, they are still blinded from the Holocaust. Of course they are still blinded by Oct 7th. The Holocaust cast a very long shadow.

Loved by whom?

That's not correct. I have been following my passion since I was a teen. I was following my passion long before I knew anything about spirituality. My material passions led me to God. Do not wait for Awakening to follow your passion.
