@Nichols Harvey  Had to look up the word 'troll' because I am not really that good in English. I guess you mean 'leaving an intentionally annoying message on the internet, in order to get attention or cause trouble'..

Honestly, no intention to get attention or annoy people...

Can anyone sum up, briefly,  what a zen devil is suppose to be?

No, I don't want to watch an hour long video, I don't care "that" much. I hadnt heard the term, until coming on here. 

Oh, also, what's shadow work? Identifying aspects of ego your not aware of? That's my guess...

Anyone else feels like we are getting into a non duality CIVIL war ?

If non-duality wars are between different school of spirituality - here we are having an ongoing war about a single one. Feels like a civil war to me.

What's next I wonder ?

Non duality Axis vs Non duality triple entente ? Non duality capitalistic orange supporters war vs non duality socialist hippies supporters war ?

Can't we all just dismiss yourselves to the couch and contemplate instead of having *this* ?

Anyway I'm just a common chimp sorry if I'm flooding.

Shadow work is being able to understand yours and another's feelings during an interaction. In real time. That's called present moment awareness

This dude is so lost in his intellect he's unable to catch social cues and manage his own and others feelings. Because they don't exist for him. But they exist. Juat not for him because he thinks he's enlightened. 

He's not enlightened if he's got a lot of uunconscious garbage to sort out.

It's rampant in the spiritual world.

Convoluted intellects with a plethora of ego defences they borrow from psychological concepts that they don't actually understand.  Some of the worst people in the spiritual community are the most well versed on psychological processes but haven't actually used any of them to grow. They just sit in the intellect and are used as weapons in debates.

That's a zen devil.

 

@Nichols Harvey Lots of assumptions.. Nothing sounds like me at all.. Not even a bit close. Are you talking about yourself?
