Jesus taught that you should hate your parents, your family and your own life:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:26

it is simple honesty, clarity, seeing the world for what it is - seeing attachments for what they are - seeing what "love" means on planet earth - must turn away, repulsed, making one's highest goal to conquer its traps

Thank you. Your tweets are exquisite & refined. You seem to be of a nondualist/advaita background. I love Ramana Maharshi. He was also an antinatalist, of which most people do not discuss. AN is taboo everywhere.

Thank you - yes - Advaita Vedanta - I did not know that about Ramana Maharshi !

Interesting about the Satiyya. I think there were some ancient Greeks who also mourned birth. I'm on the road right now. Don't have my laptop. When I get home I'll report back to you on that.

this should have been the main teaching-but how many "teachers" would have admitted it? most would be too worried about "losing" students or being "negative"- but it would have helped ALL ppl-no other teaching necessary-no more fear of death-no more killing-bc we're all in hell

Exactly. Fear of losing followers. I don't think Ramana cared if u followed him or not. He never proselytized. Ppl came to him. But that quote sums it up. I agree.
