western pseudo-buddhists "training" in ancient advanced practices over zoom calls and gerber baby retreats

Someone with majority bad intents can nearly only be helped by failures. Someone with majority good intents can nearly only be helped by intents.

Ramakrishna cutting kali in two was an act of love. Not a box of chocolates love, but knowing what she really wants at the highest level and providing it. And then he mega super samadhi’d and the story ended happily ever after. The end.

"When anyone shows himself overly confident in ability to understand and interpret the works of Chrysippus, say to yourself, " Unless Chrysippus had written obscurely, this person would have had no subject for his vanity. But what do I desire? To understand nature and follow her. I ask, then, who interprets her, and, finding Chrysippus does, I have recourse to him. I don't understand his writings. I seek, therefore, one to interpret them." So far there is nothing to value myself upon. And when I find an interpreter, what remains is to make use of his instructions. This alone is the valuable thing. But, if I admire nothing but merely the interpretation, what do I become more than a grammarian instead of a philosopher?" - Enchiridion 49
