"...and reverting to vanilla Doc's teachings" -- request.
offsetting the negativity of local conditions
Level at which negative potentiality is diffused or dispersed whereby life energy manifests constructively instead of being drained.
hitting rock bottom
Request: I've not had huge success with this, as it felt like it just kept getting lower, so I'm curious about its calibration.
"If you have not accepted the past, you have not accepted the present"
Sri Prem Baba quote from his book From Suffering to Joy.
a decision of the Spiritual Will brings up all that opposes it
Priority request: As a decision essentially made by God, it seems it might bring up a lot of resistance in the individual and possibly even the collective psyche. I've noticed that after making certain decisions recently.
willingness to take karma from another person upon oneself
Request: At what level is it possible / seems like a good choice and what does the willingness itself calibrate at?
the (subjective) reality there is no reality
Not having any sense of what is true, real or good and the utter lack of a foundation upon which a reality could be based.
statement: loving others is no substitute for loving yourself
Loving others is heart-based, while loving yourself is thymus-based. As the heart dimension is nested within the thymus dimension, loving others serves the highest good only in the context of loving yourself. (The highest good includes you!)
pathway of surrender
Surrender as a spiritual pathway.
standing for truth
Applies to the intellect. At higher levels, it is understood truth needs no defense.
statement: truth needs no defense
"Truth needs no defense and therefore is not defensive; truth has nothing to prove and is not vulnerable to being questioned for an answer" -- I:RS.
demigod
a person who is part mortal and part divine -- vocabulary.com.
unwillingness to undo negative karma
Priority request: I saw this on a slide during a Doc video. It sounds like a pretty important spiritual error to be aware of... negative karma will certainly need to be paid at some point and resisting it would seem to only compound the issue.
