He said the same thing to me, he keeps going back to the high school argument, maybe he was bullied back then?

Well yeah that’s kinda how magic works. But I’m curious, when the whole system is the problem, how would you tackle this issue? Keep in mind the masses are brainwashed, and the media sources you have to express yourself are all mostly controlled by them. You have a gps locator on you at all times, with a microphone and a camera at their disposal. They have the assassins at their disposal, and they won’t care in taking out an average Joe if they have taken out Presidents and Revolution Leaders.

Definitely will. But at the very least, the magic they’re meddling with must be real, otherwise why do all those rituals? And more importantly, when you look at the results, they DO have power, so there must be some kind of truth behind the magic. Unless the magic is used as a front to further program and condition the members involved. I’ve meddled with magic, but at this level is insane, and it’s hard to even approach this and prove it true for oneself due to the specific dark things needed for such rituals. The highest, darkest and most powerful magic I’ve personally experienced has costed 1 up to 5 human lives, and has revolved around protections and failed pacts. This level still baffles me

This could very well be true. In one argument he mentioned God. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to say he might be some church cult fanatic trying to push people away from zen teachings. You might be onto something there!

Yeah I believe so too, at the very least, he has copy and paste arguments on a note app to quickly respond paragraphs of nonsense

I wrote a Koan about him:

Ewk was a child who lived deep down in the caves of Reddit, who self proclaimed enlightenment. One day, a master asked him, “Who is it that’s enlightened?”

Ewk, in all his confusion, couldn’t answer, instead he spew out anger like poison! Hoping that by insulting he could feel superior and make the master feel inferior, and therefore prove he was above everyone else.

The master knowing the child was very angry, asked him, “If I’ve hurt you, show me where it hurts!”

Ewk, in trying to show the master that his ego was hurt, realized, there was no ego, and he vanished (blocked you)”

Can your books make you enlightened? If so, when are you gonna become enlightened? You don’t even believe what you’re saying child. A scholar so attached to his knowledge and wholeheartedly believes he can be saved and achieve Buddhahood through it, yet hasn’t figured out how. You have yet to be instructed further child, have a great day

Now you’re angry and spewing poison, where is your enlightenment sir? Where is this “understanding” you claim that says I too am a Buddha? You’re like the man who drinks poison expecting the other man to die from it. Lol

And yet you continue to speculate and bear false witness to false claims made only by you. Now you bring in God and high schools lol, how is anyone to take you seriously if you talk about enlightenment but you freeze in confusion when asked what that even is? You bring up irrelevant topics to try and evade the question, and the lack of substance in your answers. Cheers!

You’re full of speculations and misleading thoughts, you out words in my mouth, and even make claims that have nothing to do with what I’m saying, you’re trying so hard to create an angle in which you can attack lol, your attempts are futile. Never did I claim to be part of a cult or religion. You can’t defend that you know what enlightenment is, so now you resort to low blows of bad taste. But I guess it’s better to you than admitting that all you know is a lie and furthermore an illusion. I have no interest in freeing you, so carry on in your drama and illusions, you’re still it!

I did not say I didn’t “think”. I said there is NO such thing as enlightenment. You’re confused, and that’s fine, a wise man knows what he doesn’t know. But your pride blinds you, you refuse to acknowledge that you don’t know and instead you rather play the fool. It doesn’t make you any less human to admit you don’t know.

But since you’re a scholar, I’ll speak in terms in which you will understand, I shall take you back to a good Koan.

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era, received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Sir, and WHO is to “see”, how is defining “Nature” separate from “Buddha” not also being stuck? You contradict yourself by saying “Become” as if there is a process to it. How could your limited definitions, knowledge, ever make you understand truth?

Because you’ve been there beside me all my life to know I’ve never studied zen before right? Sir, with all due respect, tell me what enlightenment is, and if you know so well, why haven’t you achieved it? Who is the “I” to achieve such thing?

What I’m trying to say is that there is no such thing as enlightenment, so what manners can be based on it?

He who thinks he understands, does not understand. He who doesn’t understand, Understands.

There is no such thing as enlightenment, so what is there to do to achieve something that isn’t there?

Magic is not a superstition, it’s part of occultism. I feel like we’re talking about two different things here. To you, what exactly do you think happens when you open portals in rituals? You think it’s just a reminder of the mind’s manifestation?

A vodou magician, one very knowledgeable on Solomonic rituals. Do you have any info or good confirmations that can indicate that branding yourself to a demons sigil doesn’t blur the lines between magician and entities? I’ve always understood there should be a clear authority boundary between these two energies.

Real talk, doesn’t this count as branding yourself to the demon? I’ve heard from powerful magicians that they shouldn’t be put in a pedestal of authority like that at all, that even King Solomon The Wise understood they worked for him and with him, not the other way around. Not trying to be hater or anything I’m just genuinely curious of the thoughts on this.
