“all anger is self-righteous anger.” rather than aim for something weird like the no-self of Eternal Bliss under the Light of the Divine try for something more practical. use the presence of anger to gauge ur location and heading

the problem with seeking only peak experiences is that if you cheat your way up every mountain with a helicopter, u never actually improve (and actually regress) at mountain/life climbing.

the presence of the helicopter becomes the crutch. the helicopter becomes God.

whether this crutch is another person, a pet, a gun, intelligence, psychedelics, money, knowing-a-guy, fame, a teacher, etc... it’s all the same. an easy hack has become a lifeline to a meaningful being. life is lived fearfully clinging to a log to avoid drowning.

this isn’t to say that if you have 2 broken legs you should throw away your crutches and try to stand while yelling “GOD HAS HEALED ME!!” you would crumple to the ground in pain exclaiming “WHO HAS KILLED GOD??!”

all “miracle healings” were the throwing away of unnecessary crutches but can often become a silly rejection of crutches themselves. (all technology is a crutch)

another trap is the illusion of living constantly at a peak. mountain tops do not sustain life, the valleys do. to live at the top of the mountain is to be an imaginary character, secretly drawing from dormammu’s dark dimension, or a cannibal of seekers.
