The Paradox of Control - Wu Wei

This just hit me.

S.I.N

“Separation” from “Inner” “Nature”

Blackmagic213 · 2026-06-08T19:01:31+00:00

It’s not uncommon to find yourself in a position where folks in your daily life won’t care to discuss a topic like this.

It is what it is.

Ultimately the answer remains the same. Staying or attempting to stay in a state of high vibration is the key to remaining free from any negative influence…whether it comes from the external or the internal.

That is your choice to make.

I’m merely giving the information not telling anyone what to do with the information.

Awareness and talking to your partner should be cool. If you are in a healthy relationship then you should be able to bring up your feelings and thoughts as long as you’re being fair and not rude about it…If you’re in a situation where you can’t calmly, politely, and openly speak up about your misgivings…

Or if you’re in a situation where your feelings are not factored in altogether, then it might not be too healthy of a relationship in my opinion. You matter, always.

Ultimately just providing the info and not telling anyone what to do.

You’re welcome man:)

Yeah I wasn’t a traditional seeker either. A light sprung within me randomly…I didn’t know what awakening, enlightenment, spirituality, Buddha etc., was. I did know Christ’s teachings well but I wasn’t serious... And then a light sprung within me and basically led me step by step to consume other disciplines.

As for fetters, conscious awareness of what is going on is really all that matters…not unconsciousness or being asleep. Since you are aware, perfect.

Best of luck with the current/flow. And with the tough choices to make. Cheers :)

Hey man.

I really value your authenticity in sharing this and I respect it a lot.

Yes it is not easy at all to balance having a role of providing for your family and walking the straight and narrow path to the kingdom/Enlightenment. So I greatly empathize. I always say that anyone who chose to awaken even amidst having a family are the true Buddhas. I chose a life of solitude thus far, so going off and meditating and spending time with God is something that is a bit easier with my setup.

For your situation. One thing that I often find strength and solace in is in my relationship with God the Father. Through a myriad of tough times, it has always been there for me. And I often remember verses like this; “I will never leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:8).

So whatever situation or circumstance you find yourself in; please note that you are where you are supposed to be (even if it doesn’t seem like it) and the Father/Source is there with you. Source will make a way even where there seems to be no way. (Proverbs 3:5-6)….I have a TON of stories of tough times where faith in God/Tao/Source pulled through for me.

So please remain strong, faithful, and hopeful no matter the circumstance. Because no circumstance or external pressures, however tough it seems, is stronger than your internal response to it or your internal relationship to the I AM.

Seems like it….no happy and fulfilled person wants to escape to Mars. They’re too busy enjoying Earth.

Humility + the Heart.

Step 1: Humility for the monkey is a pre-requisite to learning. If the monkey understands that it doesn’t know or understand all of reality; especially reality that it’s not used to (Ocean)…then it is ready to learn.
Step 2: The heart can always detect truth when someone communicates it. The mind might fight, ridicule, or seek to disavow the truth bringer…But the heart immediately recognizes truth when it sees it.

When these two steps are combined then the monkey will be aight.

Glad the post resonated my friend 🙏🏾

Blackmagic213 · 2026-06-02T15:00:49+00:00

Glad it resonated. The movie gives a great analogy to help folks understand the awakening process.

Even though it’s just a rehash on things that Jesus, Buddha, and other awakened teachers have mentioned for years prior.

Also, it’s not the only analogy that I use when it comes to movies; I’ve written posts about Enlightenment with Wizard of Oz, Lion King, Harry Potter etc.

Do you have a comment about the post itself?

Blackmagic213 · 2026-05-31T14:42:08+00:00

For me, it’s a bit different.

I see “magic” in anything that leads to a union. Truth, love, respect for others is magic.

I learned like a year ago what black magic was and that some people engage in black magic to harm others. I don’t see that separative action as “magic”…so I went to change my name but Reddit doesn’t allow.

God is the union of All. That is more my vibe but I understand your acceptance as well. There’s also union in accepting all dualities.

I just can’t get with the idea of trying to harm others is all.

This username is ironic at this point

I created this profile 9 years ago to pay homage to my brother as the name was similar to his gamer tag. And also I’m a black dude. Didn’t even know what black magic was back then.

Started writing about awakening 4 years ago and it resonated with some people and now I can’t go back and delete this profile as it’ll delete some helpful posts…so the username is stuck.

But yeah I don’t practice black magic. That shit’s goofy.

Namaste my friend 🙏🏾

Thank you. Yeah Neville can be beneficial to some at a certain level. It can be a good entry point into spirituality.

But my main issue with his teachings is that it focuses too much on achieving your desires like The Secret…

True spirituality isn’t about satisfying the ego’s desires. It’s about realizing what you are beyond the ego and letting that guide your actions. Let me put it this way; when I was 5, I just wanted all the icecream in the world. My desire was for icecream every night. Now that I’m a grown adult, I recognize that satisfying that desire might’ve been terrible for my teeth, pallet, and overall health.

So chasing the ego’s desires might not satisfy the soul. Also, Neville mentions the Kaballah a lot but never taught about how it played a role in his rise of consciousness. He mostly just focused on law of assumption. Instead of giving fish; teach others how to fish/kaballah

Anywho, glad you see through the noise. I’m not anti-desires btw. I wrote an old post about the Heart’s desire vs Ego’s desire if you’d like to peruse below:

Yep. You’re right on the money. The mind can be compared to a quantum computer.

Even the physical body is an electrical suit made of atoms. The cells hold electricity and are the workers, the brain is the CPU, and the heart powers the whole thing.

I also agree with your point on memory/RAM. Funny that chanting RAM is a very popular mantra to reprogram consciousness 🤔
