magic for the self is just circling the drainspirituality is about the other. helping others. attempting to lose yourself in your own selfish desires is anathema to the goal of the soul. being a better person is the way to become peaceful.self respect and love is more fulfilling than misery with company or money.
the only anathema here is your evangelism

>>39098223Me being happy encourages me to help others with my reduced concerns. We all take our own route. Stop judging.

>>39100528Who said anything about hurting myself. My magic is putting on my face mask before I try to help others. Now that my mask is firmly secured, I can use it to help others do the same for themselves.
>>39098223selflessness for its own sake is not spirituality sometimes it makes things worse
>>39103099worshiping the self is fucking the self over. the way to be most in tune with the universe is to live in the flow of it, which necessitates letting go of petty desires. once you do that, the universe gives you what you need, not what you think you want.>>39102922sounds like you really can't feel for yourself!
>>39104294it's a way of tuning into the true self, the higher self, which is of the universe. once you live your life for others, everything is okay, cuz you truly don't need anything for yourself. you still get taken care of materially cuz you're a material being, but you aren't upset, you aren't worried, you don't stress. seriously. you are fine. and helping others is such a joy
>>39098223Neither you nor the other exist
