Rudyard Lynch is experiencing a dangerous spiritual state of inflation!

[Findus]

Hey Leo, maybe you want to help this man out. I recorded a message for him (on my YouTube) just then and I gave him the advice to search out a spiritual institution/mentor like a Zen monastery or teacher. I also recommended he should try to contact you because you have the most experience with this stuff.

He is experiencing a dangerous state of inflation, where the ego is equating itself to God. He is also falsely conflating the absolute realm with the relative world (taking about "Odin" giving him instructions for his transformation of the relative world). I think its important to mention that the psychedelic realm is only useful for spiritual work and enligthenment work, and is not useful for instructions for the relative world or the ego. He clearly has not achieved self-acceptance and inner peace through the spiritual path and is falsely conflating this work with his civilization, sociology and anthropology work.

I fear he will lose his mind if he does not receive proper instruction . He is in a very dangerous state right now, for himself but also for others. He is a great thinker, so I wouldlnt want to lose him so early. He is only 23. Anyways, what do you guys think about this situation and his psychedelic experiences?

Hopefully we dont get another case like Connor Murphy

He is too far gone to listen to someone like me.

He lacks the openmindedness and epistemic humility necessary for real spiritual work.

He can't even get basic history right without corrupting it with his massive ego, nevermind understanding God correctly.

No he isn't. That's the whole problem.

You will get there one day too lil bro

With the spiritual knowledge you have aquired by now, it is only a question of time before you leave leftism behind.

I believe in you

He dosent understand the fundamental that words dont mean anything. This man has spent 10 k hours talking to himself about himself. Hes talking to himself in the 3rd person and arguing with himself and is getting lost. This man wrote an essay about how the Gods see him then decided to share it to the entire internet as if anyone cares. Hes not focused on God he is focused on the ego created Rudyard.

Who even is this guy, does he have history on this forum or community? Im so confused.

[Hojo]

@UpperMaster I never heard of him till now.

The ego experiences some mystical stuff and then clings to it to create a spiritual ego. Ego then seeks to monopolize God for itself, going as far as proclaiming itself to be the only source of truth in the world and necessary for the world's salvation. This is how many cults leaders operate. It's a kind of spiritual narccisism. God is corrupted by conflating it with the ego's survival agenda. The work hasn't been done to actually make all that survival agenda conscious and to transcend it.

This is what happens when the ego doesn't understand all the survival mechanisms that run it.

Rudyard is a textbook example of how doing spirituality by yourself can go horribly wrong and why gurus and masters are usually needed. The master can point out the egoic self-deceptions and traps, setting a high standard.

He's a popular right-wing YouTuber. I made a blog about his problematic work a month or two ago.

If he just kept himself out of what he is saying it could be good.

He says that the Atlantic slave trade did not happen. Why would anyone believe a person who is so wrong about history? 

What are the chances he will understand anything at all? 

At most he will misuse knowledge. He is beyond repair because he is too closed minded. 

He is like another version of Connor Murphy. Just click bait.

How can we avoid it on our own spiritual path?

How did you avoid it? If you did.

Doesn't (almost) everyone doing spiritual work go through this state though. We have many examples of that here on this forum.

I think it's so common that I'm reluctant to point fingers to specific persons. The best antidote in my opinion is humility and openmindedness.

How is it possible for someone to reach deeper spiritual truths if they're going through such a phase? Wouldn't they be misleading themselves?

Either you get through the dark night of the soul or you break under pressure.

Connor unfortunately was far from ready to experience what he experienced, so he disintegrated.

There is a common element in these stories that recurrently keeps coming up - their fragile heavy ego.

LIke Leo said, You need a Guru or Mentor of sorts that can help You along the way... One trap though is picking someone that You "Like", ask Yourself where does this "Liking" come from? Its usually Ego agreements btwn ppl, you already have a personal philosophy created within You, it may be unconscious to You, but You read or watch a Guru and it confirms some of your Unconscious beliefs/philosophy, then You go for it with that Guru, this is not so good, as it will only further increase Your Identity with the Ego and false self.. 

Do some research, find someone that creates a bit of friction or someone that says something that is completely new for You, and it resonates within some how.. Then research what methods they share, is it just talking, writing, video intellectual stuff? If so that will only lead You so far, and You may become dependant on more intellectual reading, watching/hearing... Find someone that has that and methods that they share, try the methods and see what happens, be completely willing and open to it, not egoic ally or intellectually analysing it all the time, just open to doing it consistently and for at least 2-3 mths straight and see the results, if its something You want in Your life then keep going with it, if not drop it and move on...

Sometimes gurus can be wrong too.
