Man's Ontology

The Mystic Pride is a feature of the inner PHARISEE. It is very difficult to point out the faults of those who are "sincerely mistaken" since they feel super-transcended, they claim to be Gods, without having put their foot in the first step of the Holy Stairway yet (Weor, 1967). Unquestionably, one cannot become a true enlightened if one is full of Pride. I could never think of a God who is drunk, who fornicates, who is adulterous, fighter, selfish, envious, jealous, lustful, etc. We are all of it, indeed (Weor, 2000).
So on the subject of God's ontological distinction from men; that we are vile worms in the mud of the earth and not God by nature, my favorite proof text for this when discussing with new-agers are:

Put them in [reverent] fear of You, O LORD, So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah (Psalm 9:20). Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit, And the LORD will stretch out His hand, And he (Egypt) who helps will stumble, And he (Judah) who is helped will fall, And all of them will perish together (Isaiah 31:3). The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, [2]“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Because your heart is proud And you have said and thought, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods In the heart of the seas’, Yet you are [only] a man [weak, feeble, made of the earth] and not God, Though you [imagine yourself to be more than mortal and] think your mind is as [wise as] the mind of God. Ezekiel 28:1-2) [7] So I will bring strangers (Babylonians) upon you, the most ruthless and violent of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor. [9] ‘Will you still say, “I am a god,” In the presence of him who kills you? But you are [only] a man [made of the earth] and not God, In the hands of those who wound and profane you. 
You should mind that pride is not only based on social standings, on money, on family lineage, etc. There is another kind of Pride, which is much worse than the previous forms of pride. I am referring to the MYSTICAL PRIDE. So, first of all in these studies, we must urgently eliminate from ourselves the Mystical Pride, which is very dangerous. If we succeed, then the precious virtue of Humility will flourish in ourselves.

Contemporary Game

Game is, at its most basic level, a set of behavioral changes to life skills based on psychological and sociological concepts to enhance intersexual relationships between men and women. The supremacy of the Feminine Imperative is threatened by true emancipation from it. Consequently, Men with the vision to see past this are labeled Dark, Sociopathic and Deviant by the imperative. The imperative had to classify Game for itself - Evil vs. Good Game. Of course, the good is defined by whatever benefits the imperative, while the evil is defined by whatever benefits the masculine ‘selfishly.' Ref: The Rational Male

Tale of Two Wolves

This idea that you have so much goodness in you that you can speak your desires into the universe, and god will appear from a jinni lamp and grant you your wishes because you are such a noble person created to be a winner and champion is a Sheol-bred lie. That is because inside man exists two wolves at war with one another. There's a good one and a bad one. The one who wins this battle is the one you feed.  In the light of the abovementioned native American folktale, St. Paul examined his inner experience and saw another law in his cravings and desires, warring against the principle of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the rule of the flesh that is in his appetites and wants.  In conclusion to this observation, he exclaimed, "wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]?."  That exclamation encapsulates humanity's occulted struggle to understand what they do, despite expr...

Resilience: How to Identify Stressors and Develop Healthy Coping Mechanisms

As humans, we are resilient creatures, capable of bouncing back from the toughest of situations. Resilience can be compared to a rubber band that can stretch and return to its original form, no matter how much it is pulled. But what happens when the rubber band is pulled too far? Stressors in life can be compared to the force that stretches the rubber band, and if we don't identify and cope with them in a healthy manner, we risk snapping. To build resilience, it is crucial to identify our stressors, which can be likened to the weeds in a garden. Just as weeds can hinder the growth of a garden, stressors can hinder our personal growth. By identifying these stressors, we can work towards removing them and creating a healthier environment for growth. But simply removing stressors is not enough. Just as a garden needs to be tended to regularly, we need to develop healthy coping mechanisms to nurture our resilience. Coping mechanisms can be compared to the fertilizer that helps plants g...
