A paradox of awakening: the more you see the evil around you, the more painful it gets, so the more tempting the enemy’s numbing painkillers pleasures and distracting pleasures become. You do have to live in this world without becoming part of it. I am a poor example, sorry to say, although for heinous vices you probably need to become a banker or pharmacist.
Reflections on the battlefield: perhaps your largest contribution is the absolute authenticity with which you speak. And that’s saying a lot considering your obvious deep insight and acute intellect.
Because we are growing weary, treading water in a sea of lies/gaslighting, your unwavering choice to continue showing up ‘just as you are’ is the ultimate antidote…a lifeline, a stalwart reminder of Truth.
Although we have exchanged a few emails (can’t recall which platform, in 2021), we will likely never meet however I feel the connection that transcends all contrary forces.
Thank you, Martin, for your courage, perseverance and humility.
God Bless,
