is the modern occult community getting too soft?

Maybe not quite to the extent that @L'chaimGoldberg feels, but I can see where they're coming from in terms of sentiment.

So you know what they were referring to 70 years ago in the quote below? What was it? Asking you since you claim to know where they're coming from and they didn't answer themselves when asked. It seems particularly specific to an event and may really help to clarify the essence of their sentiment.
Relevant quote:

Families in western countries have been under relentless assaults for over 70 years now and whole generations have grown up without both parents in the home.

Even evidence of someone being an occultist is hard to really pin down.

Not really. In regards to this topic, an occultist would look at the world they see as a reflection of themselves and would inform their opinion that way.

Are you planning to do so anytime soon?

I have, that is why I'm engaging with those that don't. Who only have been pointing their fingers at these "others".

Read my posts more carefully. Take a day or two to contemplate before replying and get back to me when you realize something about yourself in regards to this topic.

You keep talking about "they". You like the idea of you vs "them", right?

I would personally assume someone who understands the world as the reflection of themselves wouldn't need to engage.

I remember seeing that movie when it first came out and thinking, that’s not the future, that’s NOW! in 2026 it looks like a nostalgic movie about a better time, like watching andy griffith. Anyone who looks at the drooling child sniffer and the current clown in chief and doesn’t see President Mountain Dew is part of the movie.

This really sums it up

More than anything, I was taken by the notion that in the future you could buy a doctoral degree at Walmart. That and they didn't know you had to water plants to make them grow. (Kind of the state modern education is in.)

No, you're misreading. I just didn't want to list out those that I engaged with and used a general pronoun to refer to the group.

It's those I'm engaging with, that are pointing at a fabricated, generic "other" to moan about.
In terms of a reflection of myself, it's those in the thread doing that, as the reflection of myself, that should be engaged, not this "other" they're pointing at.

Anyways, as I said before if it's even possible for you to do it take some time read and contemplate and try to have a realization about yourself in regards to this topic before you assume again.

I have actually met a person OP was talking about. On the bus, yelling in the phone how shit and unenlightened my hometown is and that she needs to go home to cleanse her aura and calm down. But the truth is, she was older than me

That's a good place to start to examine yourself in the situation in context of the topic, because your takeaways are very unflattering about your thought process.

Funny, I have been thinking the same this entire time. The world truly must be your reflection. Or your projection, whichever it may be.

What should be funny to you is that you ignored the example I gave of my reflection on the topic to say the above as a response.

And no, you weren't thinking that at all before I said it or you would have said it before me. So you're a liar and you're only saying that to continue avoiding your own contemplation about your own deficiencies that you see reflected in that person in your universe(in your head, in your head...). It would be beneficial to add why you have to lie about this subject to your contemplation.
