Previously, I used to hate people like that, considering them "bad" or "inferior." Now, I can objectively accept that such people exist. There are people in the world who have little sense of sharing, compromise, or relying on others, and who believe that taking from others is natural. Even if such people pretend to be good through social niceties, their true nature is different, and what they are saying here is their true feelings. In fact, there are many people who live a normal life in society but find pleasure in taking from others.
These people, even if they superficially express gratitude for something done kindly by someone else, are actually resentful and may belittle or insult those who act for others. They see others as objects to be exploited, and if someone does something for them, they consider it their own victory.
There are many such people in the world. I believe that the reason I was forced to be in close contact with such people from a young age is because I needed to understand them.
This applies regardless of gender. Men may use force, while women may use sexual appeal, but the underlying principle is similar. Men may take pride in what they obtain from others, while women may take pride in their youth and beauty. Although the methods differ, the point where they consider what they obtain from others as their own victory is not very different.
The key to understanding this was realizing that what is generally called "spiritual" is ultimately just a tool for achieving victory. In most cases, people use the tool of spirituality to get others to do things for them voluntarily. This is often called self-realization or the law of attraction.
I have long felt a sense of unease with this earthly spirituality.
And I realized the truth that most of the people who are called "spiritual" are using spirituality to control others and use them for their own benefit.
In their own words, "It becomes fun when you can change reality through spirituality." Whether it's the physical world or spirituality, the essence is to control others and manipulate reality for one's own benefit, which is the level of many spiritual practices today.
This is simply because people who only think about their own benefit in the real world are using the invisible world of spirituality.
In fact, I originally thought that the world of spirituality was different from the world of desires and the realization of wishes in the real world. This is because my own foundation in spirituality was out-of-body experiences, and when I was a child, I had out-of-body experiences where I met many beings, such as my guides, guardian spirits, or the group soul that I originated from, or even angels, and gained insights.
Therefore, I thought that I could have similar conversations with people in the spiritual industry, but most of them only talked about pursuing real-world benefits and changing reality, and for that purpose, they performed rituals or studied to change reality. In the end, if the goal is to change the real world or achieve self-realization, it seems more healthy to pursue it in the physical world.
The world of spirituality is based on thought, so even if the thought is wrong, the logic can still hold. Therefore, it is difficult to correct the thought.
On the other hand, the real world, especially work, has physical constraints, which correct the thought. And by encountering these constraints, it is possible to correct the mistakes in thought.
On the other hand, in spirituality, the correction of thought does not work well. Whether it is correct or incorrect, the difference is often unclear. In cases where it is correct, mutual understanding is possible, but it is sometimes difficult for ignorant people to understand the spiritual opinions of others.
In both the physical world and the world of spirituality, there are people who try to gain benefits from others, and I used to hate both of them. I considered them "evil."
However, recently, my heart has become more open, and my third eye has become more active than before, so I now think that even such low-level thoughts are understandable. People are like that. That is why people are suffering. Hating those who are suffering will not change anything. They are suffering because of their ignorance.
In this way, by taking a step back, I have been able to avoid feeling hatred.
I believe that I had to live among selfish people from a young age in order to learn this.
And now I think that this understanding is the key to saving the Earth. To not hate selfish people, but simply to understand them. To understand that, whether it is in a physical or spiritual sense, people who act for their own benefit are operating at that level.
Such people invariably make grand pronouncements about doing things for the sake of others, for the sake of the world, or for world peace. However, when you carefully observe their statements, you almost always see the emotion of "enjoying controlling others" surfacing. Sometimes they even say such things publicly.
In reality, people are free beings, so enjoying controlling others is a violation of that freedom. However, such people use various excuses to justify controlling others. For example, they might say something that seems reasonable, such as "The hierarchy of evil controls through fear, but the hierarchy of good controls for the sake of order." However, in reality, they use various threats to control others, such as "If you are not good, you will fall into evil." A certain number of people are deceived by such excuses and follow cults out of fear. While they talk about doing things for the sake of the world, what they are actually doing is enjoying controlling others, which is a small thing. This is the reality of cult organizations and high-priced spiritual seminars.
Even so, I have been able to accept that this is the extent of spirituality on Earth.
First, it is a forgiveness for those who seek to exploit the benefits of others in the physical world, and also a forgiveness for those who seek to control the thoughts and actions of others in the spiritual world.
Both of these are not the essence, and are not true spirituality, but I think I have come to a point where I can forgive them even if they are such imitations.
Previously, it was difficult, and there was a tendency to dislike people who approached for their own benefit. Because spirituality is almost always just about the "law of attraction" and wanting to bring about positive changes in reality, I was suspicious of people who came for counseling for that purpose.
Now, I think that misunderstanding spirituality is often due to ignorance, and that it is unavoidable.
Rather than that, I think that if they are even slightly looking towards the truth, that is enough.
