Dealing with negativity.

 There are two aspects to this negativity: against ourselves, and against others. We oscillate between openness and closedness – clarity and confusion. Most of the time we are closed, and therefore we find fault with others: that’s why we are unenlightened!

 There seems to be two of us in this mind-body setup: pure being, and a created, obscuring personality. The very recognition of this obscuring personality frees us, and we are no longer mind controlled!

 Throughout history, demons are mentioned: are they real or not? We attract both positive and negative energies. We…do…this. Just observe, when finding fault, how it encourages others to do likewise. The law of attraction works both ways, both on negative energies – Demons/Mara/Archons, and positive energies – Enlightened Beings.

I asked my teacher, “What can I do about mara?” He reply was, “Remain in emptiness.”
I asked my teacher, “What can I do about death?” He reply was, “Remain in emptiness.”

 In emptiness there is nothing to touch.
Inner peace is emptiness-clarity.
It includes everything and everyone
and is therefore compassionate.

 Experiments were done at Berkeley University, showing how power and wealth corrupts people, and how they maintain their corruption: “I deserve it.” That’s how demons work! If we wish to hit the wealthy and powerful, we merely contribute to Demon/Archon/Mara activity.

 It is in recognition that liberation is possible –
negative energy loses its grip.
In the moment of seeing, awareness is self liberated.
