Hello, I’m Chris.
I studied here a few years ago, then decided to pull out of KabU for a couple of years. I thought I needed to get things straight in life, and explore some other spiritual concepts. Well life is still messy and those other spiritual concepts turned out to be dead ends, so I’m back.
KabU always made sense to me. A lot of teachings hit home because you can see for yourself the truth in both the environment and within. The fact that our nature is selfish for instance, that realization taught to me here, has stayed with me ever since.This time, instead of trying to use the study as a type of self help endeavor, I plan to tackle it more as an academic study. Yes, it involves the study and work upon psychological states and such, but I want to approach this with curiosity, and more of a scientific attitude, to learn what is here. I suspect that the study itself will be transformative, and that the more I learn, the more I will natural grow spiritually.
Good luck and perseverance to all on this path.
Is the middle line like a sensation? a type of sensation that we never feel in our day to day life?
The way I understood the description is that it’s a little bit like doing something you don’t really want to do, but you do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do.
When I hear about some of the absolutely disgusting tortures and sufferings that humans have inflicted upon one another, I find it really hard to believe that God Himself is the torturer. I find it much easier to believe that we were given the choice between ‘good and evil’ and that some people choose selfish evil acts.
I also don’t like the idea of me doing something selfish and regrettable, and not owning up to it as my mistake. It doesn’t feel right saying that my mistake is God’s mistake, especially in the moment. It’s like I’m using God as a scapegoat.
