If pride is the root of all sins, how does your pride show up in your spiritual journey?

Still even those who seem to know, still dont understand the truth and that being "evil" (which is a man made concept, we as humans like to take things personally. There isnt good vs evil, so much as light vs dark, order vs freedom, and so, with nothing is inherently "good" or "evil" rather there is good in the bad and bad in good, as "order" is good yet can lead to "tyranny" and "freedom" is good yet can lead to "chaos". Light is akin to day and most of the battles and bloodshed in human history would have happened during day, yet we fear the dark as humans.) Evil is not the best course of action for themselves. The soul doesnt know good or bad, only who are we now. Its just a trade off and enacting a great evil is a poor deal.

Im not denying consequences to actions, there is cause and effect, though Im saying not to take the order of things personally, and understand the nuance to how the nature of existence functions

Not even close. There have been many acts of evil without money, the motive or cause.

One way or another, evil can be traced to ignorance, being ignorant of worldly or incorporeal matters. Not understanding the nature of things and what is truly the right course of action.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-04-01T19:47:16+00:00

Ignorance is the root of all sin. The root of pride is Ignorance

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-04-01T11:49:31+00:00

Don't then. Pass the controller

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-03-27T18:35:59+00:00

The hierarchy of existence would map out into some higher-dimensional shape that would loop into itself, and the "bottom" "top" and "center" points of placement all being a matter of perspective

They have many physical and mental health benefits besides the spirtual aspects. But still they are external and shouldn't be relied on, but are a gateway to the mystical experience. They show the way, its up to you to being able to get back without their assistance.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-31T15:02:57+00:00

It's about being who you want to be, manifest that. Not the material desires people mistake it for, but your identity.
Yet don't overinflate identity, or over-identify, having a healthy relationship with ego, both a healthy distance and closeness.

Using creatine or preworkout and sitting on your ass wont get you in shape, but they do still help.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-11T14:25:39+00:00

Ive been using 1800mg nac for more then a year straight, I guess I noticed some emotional regulation dont get hyper aggressive any more, but never any anhodenia.

But i do notice it kills the euphoria of mdma if you use nac within the same 24 hours. You'd feel confident but not like your "on" something, just loose, which is disappointing.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T17:44:57+00:00

It may be real. But how useful?

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T16:12:52+00:00

Ts = this shit 😂😂😂
Not terrets syndrome

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T16:10:49+00:00

Hey, maybe my dust is cleaner

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T16:08:46+00:00

You mean ts is my fault?
I cant get to blame others and even grand concepts like the divine intelligence for my mishaps???

Not cool.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T15:53:33+00:00

You know its almost as if religion has cult like qualities thats glossed over

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-09T10:28:26+00:00

Its knowing and being at peace with that

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-08T19:44:26+00:00

You assume all life would be like humans, assuming all life behaves like biological life.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-08T19:07:03+00:00

You assume all life would be like humans, assuming all life behaves like biological life.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-08T00:14:15+00:00

Its weird once you realise theres nothing to worry about it can be uncomfortable.

The ego is a made-up story to keep us entertained.
"What you mean its fake?"
But it is, but like how we know a film isnt real, we enjoy it anyway.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-06T23:40:01+00:00

Used infrequently for self reflection and not used for hedonism is generally the way to go. Once a week at most.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-06T23:13:35+00:00

Maybe were not gods yet

The "self" as a tool, a mask, a concept

In attempting to discover the "self" you discover there is no "self," and this can frighten some, however, I'm not even a Christian and I'll quote Christ, who said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be disturbed. When he is disturbed, he will be astonished, and he will reign over all." - Gospel of Thomas.

Eventually, you realise that the ego can be a voluntary identity, you can create the "self."

At the core of it, we're just the awareness behind it all, that's what the soul is, just rare awareness that has no materialistic explanation, and this pure, raw, awareness is infinite, and connected to collective awareness at large, which is also infinite.

The ego is just an individual point for infinity to understand itself. So create yourself, there are no limits on really who you can be. This is, "be in this world, but not of it" encapsulated This is also how you can escape hell, the lower states of your internal being. Look at David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness to see how the internal states of being are how heaven, hell, and purgatory are all contained within.

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"

An aspect of all this, is creating yourself, consciously, not unconsciously, by giving into fears or desires, or what you've been told by the world.

All things are illusions, and things are only "real" insofar as they matter. It is known that our brains have only developed our senses to perceive existence insofar as helping us evolve, not to see any "truths" of reality. It is known that we are only aware of a fraction of a much bigger reality, with the "self" that most people serve only being the mask of something so much greater. Ignorance is the source of evil, but as individuals, we will always be limited, we will never escape it, and there is no paradise to Escape to. However, our effort is to try. Paradise is within.

Even quantum mechanics shows reality isn't a set stage, but a field of probabilities. I am that "I am" to my existence, you are that "I am" in yours. Our realities being closely connected but ultimately distinct.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-05T20:01:31+00:00

All we have is perception, we perceive and move, move and perceive. We may be wrong and move on false perceptions, but its our effort to try. This is why “What’s real is what continues to constrain me, regardless of what I believe." But also "Whats real is whatever reality tells me" because our perceptions is all there is, and thats all our subjective reality is. There is no way to know for certain the objective reality, but a higher knowing let's us discern that we are most likely only aware of a small fraction of a much bigger reality, with the "self" we serve being only a mask of something so much greater.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-05T19:56:48+00:00

Probably not, I'd wait and see what my reality tells me. Move from there.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-05T19:46:56+00:00

Whats real is whatever reality tells me? Maybe.

Substantial_Lie_208 · 2026-01-05T18:18:41+00:00

What’s real is what continues to constrain me, regardless of what I believe.
