Ah, if it isn't Big Benny, the self-appointed spiritual referee. I didn't realize we were keeping score, but thanks for the update on my cosmic tally.
You think I should kill the ego first? That's adorable. It's like telling someone to catch their shadow - a fun game, but ultimately pointless. The ego isn't something to be slain, it's a phantom to be seen through. But hey, if you want to go on an ego-hunting expedition, don't let me stop you. Just remember to pack a lunch - it might be a long journey.
Childish, you say? Now that's interesting. Ever notice how children see the world without all the baggage adults lug around? Maybe a bit of childishness is exactly what we need. After all, it's the adults who are busy constructing elaborate spiritual theories and getting offended when someone pokes holes in them.
As for being prepared for alternative views, I'm all ears. But here's the rub - are you prepared for views that might shatter your cozy little spiritual bubble? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're the one who can't handle a perspective that doesn't align with your pre-packaged enlightenment.
If you think this is controversial, buckle up. The path to awakening isn't a gentle stroll through a field of daisies. It's a free-fall into the abyss of everything you think you know. But don't worry, there's no rush. The truth will still be there, patiently waiting, long after you've finished building your fortress of spiritual concepts.
Cheers! 🎭
