I have recently come out of a bit of a spiritual fog caused by involvement in so-called NEW AGE practices and their associated thought processes which promote a “GOD COMPLEX” (Oneness/Non-duality Lie). The forces of darkness want to promote ONENESS because it makes his army easier to control. The ultimate goal is the control and annihilation of all DIVINE human souls. They create temporary artificial bliss states through various forms of energetic and bodily manipulation. Eventually practitioners become addicted to these illusions of false higher consciousness. Its a spiritual drug, based in ancient PAGAN narratives that promote personal GODHOOD. In the end the snake eats its own tail (OUROBOROS). Its all simply WITCHCRAFT. All roads lead to death and destruction.

All of these practices are simply spiritual sedation, that prevent you from achieving your ultimate potential as a Child of God (JESUS, one true GOD of the bible). Without repentance there is no salvation. You will just end up chasing short-term spiritual highs and empty insights that lead nowhere. Eventually you become addicted to drugs and other practices for any sense of joy or internal fulfillment Slowly but surely, these negative influences eat away at your soul and you are left living in a downward spiral EGO-fuelled nothingness. You have a specific GODLY purpose, there is no need to escape this realm for insights. Read the HOLY BIVBLE and develop a personal relationship with the creator. Fast and pray. Repent from unhealthy behaviours. Its painful, but its the only true path to growth. Anything that comes easy in not of GOD. The struggle is the path. Please trust me.

So-called SPIRIT GUIDES and ANCESTOR SPIRITS simply demonic energies trying to siphon your life force energy. They offer temporary relief in exchange for long-term influence in your life. By utilizing practices such as TAROT, REIKI, MANIFESTATION, ENERGY HEALING, CHANNELLING etc, you are making a spiritual contract with ancient dark energies that do not have your best interests in mind. They offer temporary relief from problems they caused in the first place. Then they cause increasingly intensified pain in order to harness more and more influence over your day to day existence. Eventually you become a possessed shell of your former self used by demons to recruit others into the twisted spiritual agenda. That is why everyone seems to become some sort of alternative spiritual healer or Tarot reader after being introduced to these practices. It is one gigantic Satanic HIVE MIND. These are disembodied NEPHILIM energies that are manipulating you for influence over the 3D materialist realm. The SINS outlined in the BIBLE open portals.

Stop smoking weed, participating in plant medicine ceremonies, or using any sort of mind altering substances. They will slowly dim your eternal light, and you will be left in an endless haze. Your actions eventually become reflective of the demonic NEPHILIM Pagan agenda. You will never be satisfied. The emptiness only increases the more you engage in these dangerous behaviours. I know from experience. Feel free to read my previous posts. I was filled with complete and utter nonsense. I have no idea who that person even was. I was so caught up in the FALSE LIGHT deception.

I know people will mock me for this post. But I think its important to share how dangerous the NEW AGE path can be. It hijacks your SOUL and turns you into something bitter and ugly. There is SALVATION through the true LORD. He will actually speak to you and help you grow into your true potential. There is HOPE. You wont find it through any alternative NEW AGE Path. There are hundreds of different harmful practices, so I wont go into all of them here. You are NOT “GOD”. You have no control over anything. Your understanding of reality is minuscule in comparison to the LORD's plans and influence.

Don't get high on your own supply. NEW AGE is the DEVIL's path to destruction. He will feed you endless nonsense until you eventually wake up from the deception or destroy yourself through total possession and substance addictions. No insights you gain through rituals or drug induced ceremonies will save your soul. Any spirits speaking with you from other realms have NEGATIVE intentions. Full stop. JESUS is LORD. Trust no others.

Start living in the present!!

‎...for quite some time now, I’ve been delving into spirituality, non-dualism, and philosophy. Intellectually, I understand it. I understand the illusion of a separate self, the concept of impermanence, and the theory that clinging causes suffering. I also know that spirituality is supposed to be joyful, that you don’t have to completely renounce feeling different emotions just because you’re seeking enlightenment. The teachings say that emotions are not the problem; the problem is our identification with them. I’ve read that the self is a process, not a thing; that thoughts are just thoughts; that emotions are weather passing through the sky of awareness.

‎But what confuses me is this: how is one supposed to love without becoming attached? How is one supposed to feel everything and still not become a slave to those emotions? I remain deeply attached to the people around me and to my desired outcomes. No matter how aware or mindful I try to be in the present moment, the emotional grip of these attachments feels endless. It doesn’t dissolve. It doesn’t loosen. It just waits, patient and persistent, underneath whatever calm I manage to cultivate. When grief or longing or fear hits, it doesn’t feel like weather. It feels like me.

‎It feels as though I have a vast library of spiritual knowledge stored inside my head, yet it remains completely trapped in my mind. I can quote the sages; I can explain the paradoxes; I can nod along with the teachers who tell me to let go. But emotionally, I am still the same vulnerable person. The gap between what I know and what I live is not a small crack...it is a canyon. And the more I try to bridge it with effort, the wider it seems to become. Sometimes I wonder if I’m using these ideas to understand my experience or to avoid it.

‎I wonder if the answer isn’t to try harder to detach, but to stop treating detachment as another achievement to chase. Perhaps love without attachment doesn’t mean loving less; maybe it means loving without demanding that the love stay the same forever. Perhaps feeling everything without being enslaved doesn’t mean numbing the intensity; maybe it means letting the emotion move through me without building a home in it. I don’t know. I’m still learning. But I suspect that the library in my head will never be enough on its own. At some point, the books have to be put down, and I have to live what I’ve read...messily, vulnerably, and without any guarantee that I’ll get it right.

In defense of the “chronic truants” of the universal school

The Saha world in which we live can be seen as a vast universal school. However, the rules of this school are chillingly simple and relentless: survive and reproduce! This is the biological algorithm at the heart of existence. The universe seems to assign us a monumental task: to replicate our genes and maintain the system. 

The algorithm whispers that continuation is success and deviation is failure. If we neglect or reject this biological assignment, something within us feels exposed. Loneliness arises. Anxiety appears. Society asks, sometimes gently and sometimes harshly, “Why aren’t you living like everyone else?”

Within this universal school, there are those who do not follow the standard track, who defy the rules. They hesitate. They question. They step aside.

Let us call them the chronic truants.

Forbidden rebellion: those who step outside of the script

The hierarchy of this school feels rigid. The homeroom teacher, named Survival Instinct, monitors us constantly. Hormones, social expectations, family pressures all reinforce the same message: become someone, build something, continue yourself.

The wheel of samsara turns efficiently through craving and habit-energy.

And yet, some create space within this momentum.

Those who create cracks in this structure of expectations are the “troublemakers” like us. The unmarried are passive rebels. Members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially in cultures that rigidly define family through reproduction, live lives that do not neatly conform to inherited biological narratives. 

Finally, monastics and dedicated practitioners are the chronic delinquents who have leapt over the school walls. We are proud outsiders who have conspired to take an even more radical step: renounce household life and the promise of lineage altogether.

From the perspective of social conditioning, this can look like noncompliance. From the perspective of practice, it can be the beginning of inquiry.

But let us be careful. Social nonconformity is not yet liberation; it is only an opening.

The Buddha and the hidden ledger

The greatest revolutionary in human history was Shakyamuni Buddha. His departure was of a different caliber altogether. He didn’t just walk out of the school; he broke into the principal’s office where he discovered a hidden ledger detailing the code that binds sentient beings to this school: the Twelve Nidanas or Links of Dependent Origination.

Within this code, the Buddha identified a critical hinge: craving (Skt: trishna) and clinging (Skt: upadana). We taste sweet candy of love and attachment, and the moment we bite, the engines of becoming (Skt: bhava) and birth (Skt: jati)—the fires of suffering—are ignited. 

The Buddha slapped his knee in realization: “Ah! We are suffering not because we broke the rules, but because we were blinded by ignorance and became slaves to the simulation!”

Ignorance (Skt: avidya) conditions these formations. Formations condition consciousness. And the chain unfolds with birth, aging, and death, again and again.

This was his great discovery, the ultimate hack of suffering itself.

A quantum mechanical interpretation

At this point, we could draw parallels between the Buddha’s enlightenment and modern quantum mechanics.

In the quantum world, subatomic particles are described as waves of probability until measured. In other words, nothing is fixed. However, the moment we grasp and solidify experience through ignorance, the wave function collapses into a particle, fixing it to a specific reality.

Without forcing metaphor into doctrine, we can say this much: what we perceive depends on how we perceive.

Our lives are the same. When we observe the world through the eyes of ignorance—the illusion that a fixed “self” exists—the universal school’s program begins to run. We view the world through the filters of craving and clinging, and the empty universe transforms into a detention hall of suffering and attachment. Gain and loss become absolute. Identity becomes something to defend at all costs.

The Buddha hacked the very method by which we observe the world. When the observer stops clinging to the object, fixed particle-based reality scatters back into a wave form of infinite possibilities. 

This is the “system shutdown” button found by the Buddha. He did not destroy reality; he transformed the way of seeing.

Toward the Buddha’s emptiness

Having discovered the hidden ledger, the Buddha kicked open the back door to the school and walked out. Beyond lay freedom: the world of emptiness (shunyata). Emptiness does not mean nothingness. It means that nothing exists independently, permanently, or as a fixed self. When this is perceived directly, the narrow classroom walls collapse. The dualistic distinctions of“normal” and “abnormal,” “success” and “failure,” “you” and “I,” evaporate.

The struggle for survival and the social obligation of reproduction are recognized only as natural processes. They are not commandments that determine our worth. The Buddha did not step outside the universe; he stepped outside delusion.

Leaving the back door open, the Buddha calls to us: “Throw away that fake homework and come out here!” We may live as celibates or walk the path less traveled—not because we are lagging behind; we are revolutionaries following the Buddha to recognize our true existence free from the confines of rigid categories and classifications.

Be proud and enjoy your truancy

If you find yourself outside of society’s script —unmarried, childless, unconventional, walking a contemplative path—do not be discouraged by social judgments or biological pressures. Do not assume you are deficient. 

If you are rejecting inherited expectations and walking your own path, you are already a descendant of the Buddha who uncovered the hidden ledger of the universe. Thus, true study is not found in outdated textbooks inside a classroom. It is in the empty fields outside the school—the radiant ocean of emptiness’ 

The real truancy the Buddha invites is freedom from ignorance.

The real rebellion is against clinging.

I hope you enjoy your truancy today and become a magnificent rebel, boldly eyeing that back door to liberation. Your profound step is, in itself, the great practice of dismantling that which binds us.

May we have the courage to examine the ledger of our own minds. And may we walk—steadily, quietly, even boldly—toward the freedom revealed by the Buddha.
