  1. Yes, at best it's a window of opportunity. There's almost always a relapse. The best way involves deconstructing one's own demons. It's innoculation. A true remedy, a cure.
  2. Not partial. Honest. Take it or leave it. Name dropping ( I-ching, trigrams, all those spirits and supernatural forces ) like this appears, apologies, ... desperate. ... unless you don't know what you're talking about.
  3. Ok. Let's go through them one at a time and try to work through it together. It's "Splendor". It's a type of infinity. Imagine you're attending a banquet. There's treats and candies and biscuits and hot drinks and cold drinks some fizzy some not. Anything anyone could possibly desire is here and everything is ... just right. The plates are shimmering with fancy silver. Gold utensils are perched below long fluted glasses. Arriving to your seat, everything is planned specifically for you. Your attention hops from this to that from this to that. Hop, hop, Hop, hop. And with each hop, the eye is pleased. "Yes!" With surprise! And a gasp! "Oh look there! And this too?!" That's Splendor. Another common visualization attempts to bring the aspirant into the treasure vault instead of the banquet hall. But the underlying mechanism is the same. The aim is on "connecting". ... and-this-and-that-and-this-and-that-and-this-and ... From this comes a realization of brilliant-sublime-order among miriads. Within divine splendor every"thing" , literally, is where it should be, doing what it's supposed to be doing. "Negative desires, such as lying, predatory behaviour, psychopathic tendencies, etc" are completely out of context. Does that make sense? For what reason is the predator chasing its prey? Within Splendor, the predator becomes satiated, because all is in its place already. No pursuing. In the same way, reaching beyond one's capabilities is completely out of context once there is a realization of this sort of divine order and connection. Can vs. Should They can accept darker truths, but should they? Enlightenment does give access to some aspects of "God" power. It doesn't only apply to those qualities. If everything is as it should be, there's no desire to change anything. Yes. Something-From-Nothing Not wrong. Out of context. Like looking for motor-oil in a bakery. ------------------------------------- Is any of this helpful?
  4. Most people who are "cursed" are desperate for something to blame.

  6. Maybe try giving a tiny bit of charity. Not a lot. It can not be overstated. Finding a worthy cause, and giving a small amount on an ongoing basis does a lot of good. Set it, forget it, and be open to new opportunities.
  7. Pain can be diminished, remapped, nullified. Not just through love, but through any pure motive. It's not magic. It's making oneself into a "zealot".
  8. Good. Regardless of the topic, whether or not it's beleived to be 'copulating excrement', or any other colorful metaphor, is irrelevant.
  9. The teachings of Actualized.org is closer to nei-dan, inner-alchemy. Daoist exorcism is in a completely different category.
  10. Relevance? It's either true or not regardless of how it's labeled. repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it any more convincing.
  11. Nice ... It's a sponge?
  12. Not necessarily. There's different ways of Reflecting. Reflecting within an ocean is different than reflecting within a mirror. Yes. Geometrically, "knowing" is modeled as a point. Specific and well defined. In contrast, "understanding" manifests as a cloud. Knowing a collection of relevant tangential facts *surrounding and pointing towards* the target of inquiry cultivates "understanding". One can learn a lot about her majesty's treasures by watching the way she's guarding them. Unless the "you" is in motion. Then knowing it means "following the trend" and the trend can be known by the knower.
  13. The infinite necessarily possesses all and more including itself. All scenarios coexist equally like cards stacked up in a deck ( as opposed to lined up as sequences of events ). Many consider God, geometrically, as a sphere radiating with light. Instead, consider God in the shape of a cone, or even better, a funnel. From the "earth-bound" finite perspective, considering the the infinite, it's like looking up directly below an enormous ice-cream cone, but all that's seen is the point at the bottom, far-far in the distance. But, from another perspective, top-down, it's not a dot. It's the opposite, a wide open endless sea .
  14. As God one can conjure/recall the realm from a sort of endless lexicon of concepts, ideas, and symbols.
  15. Within concurrence and omnipresence there's still valence, orientation. In english, "Countenance". God's attention pivots without moving in time or space.
  16. Question: "Is it problematic to resort to ego to eliminate itself?" Answer: "Remember Icarus? YMMV" may it serve you well
  17. There's many readers and one reader. Both simultaenously.
