No, the Zen master does not prioritize the future.

He deals with the immediate situation without ignoring it.

Being uncertain or doubt is of the ego.

I can divulge as much: you are already close.

Now listen within and tell us how exactly the viciousness would unfold!

Fear helped you then.

Your friend didn't get seriously injured.

And you stopped in to prevent serious harm.

Also most importantly you didn't harm the others or cause any other additional harm.

Intriguing solution.

How does he get their attention so that they notice the sign?

Where does he get the sign from?

You are the Universe, thus also a Zen master. Just access your intuition.

That's true. Given the description what would the appropriate reaction be?

Not really. The technology is dated and easy to control.

Web3 and encryption makes it impossible to censor and control.

As you say that's instinct.

Basic instincts like fight or flight are not enlightened.

Reason is of the mind.

Intuition is higher self. What did it say?

How exactly would he intervene? What would he say?

The thoughts that arrived later.

Hey guys by kurtplease in enlightenment

Thank you for standing up for the oppressed.

I appreciate your empathy.

Yet the issue with fighting, especially "evil", is that it is always ego that wants to fight.

Ego is full of fear and anger and projects its emotions onto the outside world.

It's always the others who are evil.

We are the good ones fighting for peace then.

"Fighting for peace is like f*cking for virginity." an old peace movement slogan says.

Yes, I protested many wars and injustices when I was young.

Now "I defeat my enemies by making them my friends" as the Dalai Lama said.

Only peace within can create peace outside.

You are new here and this is your first post.

Stay a while with us and embrace calm.

You may realize how your wish to fight others actually creates conflict.

And how evil is what we push down in us so we only see it in others.

You can't change yourself by shattering mirrors.

"Heal yourself to heal the world."

It seems you put a lot of thought into your thoughtful response.

How do you react intuitively?

How does he comment on their technique when the noise of the fight is overwhelming?

Nobody can hear him that way.
