I'm surrounded with devils

[Zeroguy]

Even on this forum is easy to see devilry let alone in real life. How to cope?

Follow your passion, create beautiful things, and stop reacting to negative things.

Also, stop blaming this forum. You are lucky to be here.

Thanks man. I will try to do that.

This is good advice.

It's totally understandable that you're feeling this way. It can be tough. When you see others too focused on themselves, on survival, while ignoring the simple beautiful things in life, and causing collateral damage in their chase, it makes perfect sense to call it out as devilry. Like who in their right mind would do that? Right?

Selfishness is its own punishment though. I have never seen anyone happier or more peaceful than selfless gurus who devoted their lives to spread love and awareness and to help others. Those gurus possess some kind of halo that's so present, calm, and attractive in nature. I feel so drawn to them. They help me understand myself and the world around me and accept the selfishness I see in myself and others.

Do you have a favourite spiritual teacher? Mine is Adyashanti.

Thanks man those are some wise words. Thanks for explaining selfishness.

I don't have any. Maybe Leo but I disagree on solipsism.

Glad those words brought a bit of comfort!

Leo is great. And I agree with you on the solipsism angle. It's totally normal to be turned off by it. I believe people and the world are very real, too.

Your state is determining how you view yourself and others. There are times I want to delete all of you, I have very ugly views of all of you, but I keep that to myself when I am pissed off and come back when I am more clear minded

@Zeroguy I was reading your journal. Sorry you've been going through a rough patch lately. I see a few days ago you promised yourself you were going to stay away from the forum for a while. Perhaps it would be best if you were to take a break. If you need help with that just ask one of the mods and they could put a temporary suspension on your account. Then when you have a more positive outlook about live in general, it could be reopened.

I had infinite love/God awakening. I died . I had no sense of self or was I aware of anything. I know that my ♥️ is source of everything so I am God but Reality mindfucks me and I can't get grasp on it. Meanwhile I was hitted with mental illness I started hearing voice and I was in psychosis for 3 months before finally going to psychiatrist. Meds healed my symptoms that's why I abandoned awakening and started to see life more realistically. So now I am materialist and atheist thinking all of spirituality is brain state.
