I think some of the negative comments and commentary towards her has affected her confidence, in the past two, or three, years. I still like her.....as a spiritual teacher. I don't hate her, but I wouldn't trust her too much if she was in my perimeter! I do notice that she was more confident in her early videos. I do see a shift, and a change, but I also hope she learns from her mistakes and does spirituality in a more honest way. She has a life and reputation to protect, so I don't expect her to be blunt about everything. But she could do with a shift in her energy, selfishness (I intuitively feel her strong ego), and come off less manipulative. She's great for learning, but she doesn't come off trustworthy or honest. Just my two cents.

Good luck!

Oh boy, it sounds like you're in some kind of mental limbo. You sound severely confused. The first thing to do is to stop taking any 'substances' they give you in that cult. The second thing is for you to ground yourself, simplify things the best you can, and don't complicate things, and don't complicate the thoughts you have. It sounds like you've been in this cult too long and it's messing with your head. And third, surrender your beliefs and theories in your mind. Lay them to the side and forget about them for a long time! Maybe even years. Don't think, or get into, anything too spiritual. Simplify things! You sound like you seriously need to ground yourself right now. You sound like me when I was in the middle of my mental psychosis, during my severe depression. I guess I learned from experience. If you want to think about these beliefs and theories they taught you in this cult, wait until you're more mentally stable and grounded. Good luck!

Do you have ADHD, or whatever? I hope you don't. But if you're having trouble concentrating.

So why do you do something self-destructive thing, like eating unhealthy foods? Ask yourself honestly, answer deeply and honestly.

Great job! Did your intuition tell you to do it?

The story of Buddha and his envious/jealous brother-in-law/cousin, Devadatta. He was the one that sent the elephant towards Buddha, and tried to kill Buddha by pushing a boulder off a cliff. Buddha just said that the boulder being pushed off and hurting his own foot, was his past life karma.

You judge people, like everyone else, because it makes you feel in control. Really, you're just projecting your ideas on what things, and people, should do, and/or be. Also, on some unconscious level, you're judging yourself if you were in that situation that that person/thing is in, in front of your eyes. You will never stop judging, but you can realize why you're doing it and lessen it. Also, I think what most people mean when they say 'judge', they really mean 'condemn.' Maybe what the title of your thread really is is 'How to stop condemning?'
