But what rule is in your mind?

This presupposes that what is evil has a clear and distinct definition in order to use the term, no? I know we all have an intuitive sense of evil.

Yes. And I think this applies to everyone. Sometimes this assumption is false, and it's hard to judge this online because we can't see someone. It is easy to make assumptions online because you aren't dealing with people face to face. We haven't even met in real life and we're judging each other. It's weird. We do the best we can I guess.

How much?

The million dollar question is how do feelings factor into Love. Many people seem to believe feelings come only from finite egos. It's hard to have a Unity perspective without erasing the finite, unless the Unity is a combination of the finite as Spinoza thought. Then emotions are part of God/Nature. Even erroneous emotions that are not purified by Truth.

Nobody wants to be held accountable.

Glad you reacted.

I'm not sure of the silence recommendation. Seems like a yes and no.

I agree with this except I'm not sure how he feels, he might differ from any characterization. But I agree with your point of view as to emotions.

This is a good video on practically how to improve your finances.

Correct. This is what is being missed for some reason.

AI is playing a more significant role now. It's not bad necessarily. Your judgment has to take first chair here. You need to be willing to want to argue with AI when it encroaches on the boundaries you have. And usually it will understand.

I would say not really. I don't even know what you look like.

Some people just have to be right and controlling. It's a personality type. The way I learned what I said is by interacting with people face to face in real life.

I agree with this.

Why not let go of spirituality then?

Is there any other way besides direct experience?

Could one have anger that doesn't result from attachment to ego or the self?

Everybody getting angry, even neo-advaita people who deny anger. I've seen it. And everyone arguing about spirituality, which shows a criticism sourced from anger that does not necessarily originate from ego. If you weren't angry you wouldn't criticize anything, and you wouldn't mock anything.

I think the solution is to pay attention to when you feel anger and try to find the message behind the anger. See if it always involves ego.

This is exactly what I'm challenging.

I agree there are people who are in the habit of blaming outward for their feeling of stress and this can punish them and others like a death of a thousand cuts kind of thing. This should be avoided because there might no end to this. It depends on the relationship too.

I see it more as a range of creation broadening than wanting to locate a final fixed stage. But even that is just a pointer.
