About gratitude

[Lurker]

You are all pretending to have the Ultimate TruthTM. Maybe you should accept the fact that gratitude works for some, and for others it's irrelevant. Well, don't forget to bellow "WE KNOW BETTER!!!"

Is there anything more subjective than magic?

The core of the hidden real self is not a secondary being that has to give thanks for existing, but pure power.

You keep projecting your own experience of gratitude as "necessity" instead of listening to what I and others have said repeatedly, which is (once again, and only once more), that it can be a sovereign decision made by the "hidden real self" or whatever other silly wordplay you want to throw out to continue evading the point. Just because you have never experienced it as such does not mean that nobody else has. You do not speak for all the people in this thread who have deliberately stated they disagree, yet you persist. Why? Do I even need to ask, or is it not already obvious to everyone finally? It is not all of us, nor is it me. It is you. You have been exposed as a fraud, and you need to learn from this lesson and grow from it, not continue to double down on it in an attempt to save face.

Trust me friend, no matter what path you think you follow, left, right, up, down, or all around, to completely abandon generosity, or any part of yourself for that matter, is not wisdom, it is corruption.

I'm pointing to the some of the deep roots of gratitude in a spiritual sense - self-insufficiency.

It's not wordplay for those with experience.

If you don't tap into the depths and power of the hidden self, then true sovereignty will elude you.

An emotional reaction is not a decision, no matter how strenuously some want to paint it as such.

I'm not sure where I said 'completely abandon generosity'. You're hallucinating things based in an emotional response. And using sanctimonious platitudinous language there with 'corruption'.
