This unfinished post used to sit in my Drafts for two months before I decided to publish it. It’s a little presumptuous but the will is good.
Alright, here’s my teaching. Both in the sense of the steps I went through and what I recommend to people.
- Open your soul to magic. Don’t think “this is not how the world works”. Think “I wish I could live in fairy-tale”. Try drugs, books, adventures, or anything else that works for you.
- Pick up the concept of karma. Unfortunately Diagnostics of Karma is not available in English. Try Louise Hay or any of the Tibetan authors. Realize that karma is first and foremost your thinking, your intent.
- Pick up the concept of Spiritual Materialism. It’s important to get this as early as possible in your studies as an antidote for the obstacle of pride.
- Work on your karma for at least 5 years. Basically, you need to get through three major stages: 1) “It’s everybody else’s fault”, 2) “It must be my bad karma, I think I know what I did wrong” and 3) “I’m watching my mind every second of every minute”. Once you get to stage 3, keep going for the rest of your life
- Realize the virtual (conventional) nature of all objects. This is an extensive subject, try Zen, computer programming, cognitive sciences.
- Realize the mechanism of Intent (faith) as the reality-shaping force of the consciousness. Try Castaneda, try Reality Transurfing.
- Prajna-paramita and Dao.
