Certainly. That's where honest introspection and humility must be utilized to develop a more positively moral moral compass, and then use it to choose our desires very carefully. Self-evolution can go in any direction we choose with our free will, and both paths -- the light of compassion and the darkness of selfishness -- contain momentous decisions that will change our journey's octave in the direction in which we travel. The third possibility is to instead defer such learning and choose to not commit to either positive or negative. Such people remain 'confused by confusion', being sometimes virtuous, sometimes vice-eous, as per how the wind blows upon their life.
Those momentous decisions will change their perspective from there out, but "there's still time to change the road you're on"; it just becomes less likely as we traverse either tail of the bell curve of human spiritual potential. As such, the wicked tend to become more so, more confident in their path through the resulting delusions borne of their having chosen selfishness over selflessness, lies over truth, hatred over love, etc. Like the infospace of our computer networks, there are also malicious actors acting upon our psyche to deflect us from our happiness, right within our headspace and heartspace.
Converse to the dark path, the person who enters the door that leads to the Path of Love experiences such a joy in the transformations that commence that it is unlikely for that person to reenter the ignorance of their previous life from before crossing that threshold. It is not that our intrinsic negative gravity via human weakness suddenly ceases resisting our efforts to improve; it a slog, for sure, filled with moments that build humility, which is as necessary a tool on the spiritual path as it is on the journey to becoming one of Dunning-Kruger's true experts.
Along the way, as well, we regularly gain karma from the relentless slings and arrows of the committed narcisists, whose "master" demands not just their continued ignorance of the benefits and possibility of Love, but to actively deny or even fight it, lest they be swayed by our loving kindness, wisdom, inner peace, and happiness. That is why the "woke" are such a threat to the evil-minded buffoons of the world.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoCan you write down the actual arguments? Stating a few dozen sentences of opinions several times in a row isn’t offering much in the way of discussion…
- MrMcCall 2y agoI thought you wanted facts. My bad.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoSelf proclaimed facts, are taken as opinions by other readers… unless actual arguments are supplied, or some proof from a credible source is supplied, etc… Hence why it would be desirable for you to write down the relevant arguments.
- hackable_sand 2y agoIn order to explain their position it would require a piece of paper larger than our universe. Larger than several copies of our universe. That's not an indictment of anything, it's just the nature of being. Probably the most useful here is Kabbalah. Once you intuit parts of that, hierarchies become irrelevant. Human power structures turn from ladders to bridges. It's deeply isolating.
- cymian 2y agoCould you elaborate on how human power structures are seen more as bridges?
- MrMcCall 2y agoSo ask me questions, and then read my answers. I'm not going to have an argument with myself, that's absurd. I've answered your questions to the best of my ability. If you think there's something missing, ask for clarification. Eugene Parker is one of my heroes. You should read about him. His "opinion" was utterly disregarded by his peers, and now the solar probe named after him actively monitors the sun. Read through my comment history, and you will get much more background. Or just ask me questions, but don't call what I'm saying opinions. That's disrespectful to your own curiosity, and tells me much about you that you don't wish to understand. At worst, you can call them theories, but they're not even that. I know what I know, and I know that you don't know (yet) how to know the things I know, though you could, if you opened up your mind and heart. Your karma on HN is nothing compared to the karma a person can accrue in real life. That's no opinion. Watch Gukesh in the WCC; what is he doing when he closes his eyes in peaceful tranquility? We Sufis know, but most people are simply uninterested in what he is doing, and you are most people. The universe is giving you a chance to level up, but you have the confidence of a fool. I suggest you put that aside and engage in a humble, honest conversation. Yes, these are challenging concepts you've not heard before, but I'm here to help folks to learn the truth, but you have to be an intellectually honest participant.
