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.

Rethinking Therapy Settings: Insights from "Redpill Psychology"

What can possibly be happening in the minds of men sitting in female dominated space, box of tissue at their side, with a woman saying “tell me how you feel” about this or that? Even worse, asking such probing questions with the implication that he is an empty emotional vessel in need of her redemption. Lea Winerman, a staff writer for the American Psychological Association asks us to “imagine the Marlboro man in therapy.” Imagine instead a therapy office in the boiler room of a ship, in a workshop, a park, a building site, mechanics shed or a sports locker room, with seating arrangements that allowed men to sit at 45 degree angles or side by side — engaged in some kind of task if they wished.           Imagine too if we were to engage in some kind of typical male play or industry – not just Jungian sandplay or water-color art therapies as suits the more effeminate sensibilities of women, but hands on therapy – while driving a truck, fixing the engine of a ...

The Dangers of Cults: The Dark Side of Religiosity

Religion can be powerful in people's lives, providing hope, comfort, and a sense of community. Whether it's the rituals and traditions of mainstream religion or the intense personal beliefs of those who follow more unconventional paths, religion can bring a great deal of meaning and purpose. However, there is a dark side to religion as well, particularly when it comes to cults. The recent news out of Kenya is a tragic reminder of the dangers of allowing ourselves to become caught up in a system of beliefs that leads to death. Reports of at least 103 people, including children, starving to death after following the instructions of their religious leader to embark on a fast to "meet Jesus" are disturbing. Cults are a manifestation of what happens when groupthink becomes too strong, and critical thinking takes a back seat. It starts with the charismatic leader and the promise of transformative and magical experiences, which leads to a group of followers who b...

Positive Relationships

Positive relationships are the cornerstone of psychological well-being and happiness. In the same way that a well-tended garden produces beautiful flowers, a well-nurtured relationship can bring joy, contentment, and fulfillment to both partners. According to research by Seligman (2018), individuals who are in positive relationships are less likely to experience depression and anxiety, and more likely to report higher levels of life satisfaction and overall happiness. To cultivate a healthy relationship, effective communication is key. Communication is like the soil in which a plant grows. Without it, a relationship can wither and die. Positive communication promotes understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. According to Johnson (2019), successful couples use positive communication techniques, such as active listening and non-judgmental validation, to strengthen their relationship. Tips for building healthy relationships include spending quality time together, expressing gratitude, a...
