Spiritual Deception

Spiritual deception: trusting the majority; being a follower; believing anyone who claims to speak the truth; merely agreeing instead of realising the meaning of the words.

Do we think that The Daily Mara wouldn’t use our cherished desires to divert us? We are easily deceived and ready to believe whatever we hear or read. We’re suckers for the ‘good’ look.

Frankness and directness aren’t always welcome. Why do you think the Buddha said, “Don’t take my words for the truth; test them”?

We don’t have to become something.
Spirituality (conscious awareness)
is undoing whatever we have become.

Just be natural. Be that which we forgot. How do we know whether someone is trustworthy?
As an individual, we are the authenticator.
