No 1350 of Living Life Series 1
There are those who only want to tell you what they believe and not willing and allowing you to tell them why you disagree with them let alone listen to your alternative views. They have overvalued ideas to the point of delusion. They feel threatened by alternative views and comments that threaten their confidence.
They hear not what others say. This will reinforce their delusion that they are right and others must follow them. The bad part is that they make others dumb and when others keep dumb and mute and just listen to them, this heightens their delusion and blow it even bigger.
How do we help them to have insight that their approach is wrong and help them get out of the delusional world they live in.
Challenging them will only make matters worse. They will think that this is evidence that they are right and they need to change the world.
But keeping our gaps shut and just be passive to let them continue their monologue will make them swell in the head and think the world of their delusion as right and there is need for them to change and win over the world.
By keeping our gaps shut, we are not only doing a disservice to them and to ourselves as they will take it upon themselves to change the world to their mindset, but we will also do disservice to the world as well.
So what is the solution? The answer is not simple.
The solution is for them to have insight and not be deluded. How do we not reinforce their delusion and wake them up? How do we get them out of their delusion? How do we bring them down to earth and not be carried away by their overvalued ideas that can bother on delusion and make them out of touch with reality ?
The answer is for us not to be part of their world. Do not enter and be part of their "virtual" world. Avoid them and soon they will wonder why their world is shrinking. When they have insight and willing to hear others, then it is time to bring them into the real and bigger world of men.
This is how to deal with those few who live in world of delusion they create. Do not be inadvertently absorbed into their world of delusion and expand their world of delusion. They have lost touch with reality and are deluded. They suffer from religious psychosis.
They live in world of darkness and when a candle light is introduced to them, they put it off. Let us leave them alone but when time comes, let us be a bunch of candle flames to light them up and bring them out of the world of darkness into the real and vast world of light.
A bunch of candles is better than one or a few in giving light. This candle light lesson is used by Bo Tien 武天 to tell us that we need to light them up and bring them into the vast world of light.
There is the same light or inner truth of goodness behind all religions. Help those who are deluded and wrongly think that only they are right and others wrong. Bring them out of darkness of such delusion. We need to help them to have insight and get out of their religious psychosis and wake them up to reality.
The first step is not to unknowingly be part of their deluded world when they force us somehow to be silent. Silence often is mistaken as consent and concurrence. Worse still, they do all the talking and do not allow us to talk and yes indeed they do all the talking. You may think this monologue rather than dialogue is absurd but it does happen.
The solution is to avoid them and this will shrink their self-created religious psychosis world. Then they will have second thoughts and break out of their delusion. They will have insight. Then let us embrace them into reality and give them light. Show them that there is the inner or common basic truth or goodness behind all religions and cultures.
This will grow the common space and goes some way to eliminate fearful risk of exclusiveness of religion. The world will become increasingly a better place to live in.
