      Everything we do, power, knowledge, wisdom, money, status, etc.. is all to increase the % of our lives we can say "This is Good." to. Yet even THAT is just a stepping stone to be able to say "This is Me."

      You can take a shortcut and go to "This is Me" FIRST. This means accepting that Me == All Good which requires embracing internal darkness. This is a trick. Because embracing good/bad as good is impossible semantically and logically.

      That is, the "shortcut" is actually the long way because it's impossible, you have to loop back and start at the other end. FIRST you go to This-is-Good, THEN you got to This-is-Me.

      There are 2 primary traps, the trap of the Fool, and the trap of the Monster. The Monster trap is to embrace the good/bad world as Reality, thus creating a "Me" that is always in survival mode, afraid of monsters.

      The Fool trap is to just pretend to say "This is Good" to everything without understanding. Like stealing answers to a test. The Fool trap is exacerbated because NO ONE thinks they're ever lying. A lie is actually just successful self-delusion.

      If you think the 80% of people think they are above-average drivers fallacy is bad. Wait till you see how bad it is for an accurate estimate of self-delusion. Something like "I'm 100% not self-deluded for topics of up to Infinity complexity".

      So the question then to always be asking is: "If this is good, what is preventing me from seeing it. Which of my assumptions must I break to shatter this spell of self-delusion?"

      Note that to notice you asking the question requires the trigger of seeing something as Bad. If you're always pretending everything is good and forget that you're pretending, you NEVER activate the growth trigger!

          Notice how the opposite of this is what usually disillusions someone to God. The inability to resolve the "Question of Evil." or have an authority/parent/priest figure who can create a "Fall".

          The Fall takes on two forms. The Fighter sees the source of Evil as a problem that can be fixed. It thinks if it kills the demons it will eliminate evil. The other form is the Victim, it sees true reality as a black/white twisted form and so accepts self as twisted.

          Their virtuous opposites are: The Leader, that which sees the Evil as the lost and leads them (without hating them!) back to the Good. and The Accepter, that which can ALWAYS see how enemies are connected and thus can never hate.

          So here's a question. What do you think is Evil? What do you think can't POSSIBLY be Good. What if you were wrong? Would you be willing to just for a moment imagine that there isn't actually Evil?

          Maybe it was a priest, a father, or a mother who failed you and couldn't answer the question in a non-dodgy way. That was the moment that you realized they were faking. Well have no fear, ask away, I shall meow your problems away today.
