How egoic of you to judge us, I will take that thought of yours into consideration and contemplate it to understand its truthfulness. I consider those who point out my faults as my greatest allies, for all they as well as myself desire is to bring about perfection. Thank you for your consideration. lol

that's good, at least you're aware of it as that is the first step toward recovery.lol If there is anything you could think of that I could say to you that may help to rip you out of your egoic state of mind please feel free to ask, I will help you anyway I can because I like you as your one of us whose chosen. I gotta go, I think I thought I heard something in my head telling me to go and take that sabbatical from my thoughts you mentioned earlier. How do I think to stop thinking exactly? Oh well, I'll give it some thought while I think about it! Please note: there is an immense amount of horse manure written above, feel free to laugh uncontrollably at my ignorant statement as it originated from the opposite end of the location of my brain.

Sorry I can't help you, ws, I don't see your performance of your role as anything less than perfect - and the same goes for everyone on this planet.
It is simply impossible to err!
(If I may continue to contribute my share of manure so we can all have a good laugh!)

When I preach, I usually speak of detachment and say that a man should be empty of self and all things; and secondly, that he should be reconstructed in the simple good that God is; and thirdly, that he should consider the great aristocracy which God has set up in the soul, such that by means of it man may wonderfully attain to God; and fourthly, of the purity of the divine nature.
"The Eye with which I see God is the same Eye with which God sees me"
Meister Eckhart
Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet - because it is the purpose of humanity. Eckhart Tolle

Humanity has only to drop its belief of separation, and its conflicts would cease to exist. This, the belief of separation, is what humanities purpose is, to awaken to its falsity, to let go of this illusion and see with no I's.

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.
Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them.
The idol of your self is the mother of all idols. To regard the self as easy to subdue is a mistake.
~~ Rumi

The idol of your self is the mother of all idols. To regard the self as easy to subdue is a mistake. ~~ Rumi I don't think "more people are waking up". I don't think there is any "new energy". Frankly, I don't think most people even 'have a clue'. But, with the rise of the internet, more people are reading about this stuff, and filling their heads with words written by Ramana, Niz, Osho, (whomever), and then saying to themselves "yeah, I got this". No, they don't. They are just parrots, either reciting the work of another, or adapting those words to fit some story in their heads. Self inquiry is 'difficult work'. Most people don't have the balls for it. Its much easier to just believe in that phoney 'ego-based enlightenment'.
