I regularly get questions of this kind:
“If this world is a malicious trap, why not just cut your losses via suicide?”
My response to this is layered. The first argument is that suicide looks like such an obvious, simple and tempting option, if I were Satan, I would have built in strong safeguards against it – basically, those opting for it would have a much worse situation to deal with afterwards. Who knows what kind of a contract we had to accept by incarnating here, and what’s in the fine print. I don’t know, and I prefer to err on the side of caution. Let’s just assume that suicide might imply acceptance of all kinds of additional karmic attachments and retributive elements that we might very much wish to avoid.
The second argument is that self and body are joined in the incarnate state, and choosing to act against one might mean acting against the other, as well, with all the karmic consequences of such an action. Also not good.
The third argument is that we ended here despite this being a trap, which means it wasn’t obvious to us, for some reason. This implies that whatever reasons, that didn’t prevent our entrapment in the first place, might still exist, and unless we develop understanding that gives us resistance against it, we might end up being returned, and possibly in a worse situation than the one we have now. Take this very seriously, because now you know about me and you are reading this, and almost nobody on Earth knows about me, or cares. The odds are, you would be more lost, more confused, and who knows what else. In addition, Satan has an endless array of torments here for those who annoy him, and let’s assume that suicides make themselves karmically vulnerable to this. I think this is something we would want to avoid.
Hating this world and wanting to get out is, karmically speaking, not a decision against this world; only a consistent choice for God is a choice against this world, and I am pretty much certain that this is the only thing that would be interpreted as a liberating karmic choice. Basically, focus on God, and I don’t mean an idea about God. I mean God. This withdraws our spiritual energy from the world. Without us circulating power through the “electromagnet” of attraction, desire and attachment that holds us to the world, the world is released and we are emancipated from it.
Sva energija je Božija. Materijalni svijet je dio privremeno okupirane i preoblikovane duhovne energije. Prema biblijskom Otkrivenju “pobjednici” (3:21) su oni koji pobjeđuju u ovom svijetu i doprinose preoblikovanju ovog svijeta ka “novom nebu i novoj zemlji”. Dakle ovaj svijet se Negativcu oduzima a ne da se iz ovog svijeta bježi, a za “pobjednika” kaže se; “Pobjednika ću učiniti stupom i hramu moga Boga odakle više neće izići”
At first glance, this sounded weird in sense “if you hate something, you are certainly against it”, however, I realised my point of view is not important in this case, but the point of view of the judge whoever that might be and I instantly saw more clear example:
A student might hate the school, but that hate does not disqualifies the school – on a contrary – school principal might see the student not good enough, make him repeat the class and move him to “special needs” section.
What disqualifies the school is when student is so good that it transcends the school and makes the school obsolete for that student.
Yes, it’s the difference between “this world is too much”, and “this world is not enough”.
Also, hating poverty, disease and suffering doesn’t mean you don’t have all kinds of desires for the “good stuff” of the world hidden underneath.
Let’s put it this way. If Satan’s “bet” was that nobody will care about God if God wasn’t immediately obvious by design of the world, hating the world doesn’t win you the bet.
Yes, craving for God when you have everything else in this world, wins the bet.
But you also do not have to have *everything* because at some point one hits diminishing returns and you have to be an idiot to think that more expensive car or house or airplane will solve something that already hasn’t beed solved.
Sure, that does not work from a position of having a rusty bicycle and then saying you do not need a car, but once you reach a point where you actually do have a good, solid car it is actually easy to extrapolate the rest.
Also, now I understand why you always so adamantly said vajra initiation is the only way out of here, that blue ray penetrating reflective sphere from the image I saw previously.
And that scares the shit out of me, because now I realise only way out of here is if this hell is dismantled and I manage to create enough “virtue grip” that I just might be left hanging on the cliff hoping someone will grab my hand, instead of falling into void.
Everything of value in me is of God and without God I am nothing.
Trying to “have everything” in this world is a sign of weak mind. A smart enough person will get the message with a combination of observing the experiences of others and some experiences of their own – basically, got car, was excited at first, experience was normalized soon thereafter. Same repeats with everything. Conclusion: acquisition of things does not result in fulfillment, seek other route. Trying to get a Bugatti because that would be different is a sign of idiocy.
Obviously, this is a simplified principle of just one layer of desires and projections, if things were that simple, everyone would be initiated in vajra.
And yet, lately, I feel things are THAT simple … I do not have proper way to verbalise that feeling yet.
I’m not sure, but if I were in the Devil’s position I’d have to think about how Narasimhadev appeared and also about the course of events in some of Zelazny’s novels. I don’t know what all is possible but if one brutally and purposefully distances beings from the Divine qualities then one should count on a storm.
Okay, small letters on the contract, but the envious Devil’s head probably does not grasp the subject absolutely.
Of course, it is worth holding the thread in one’s hands when it comes to investing in the aforementioned electromagnetic trap.
And of course, you have a brilliant sense of karmic math and correct advice.
Also, your approach is highly recommended.
I cannot be silent and I must say that I enjoy your brilliance when it comes to the surface through your words. You simply have the measure of a correct approach.
That is very encouraging and has a corrective effect.
