When a wanderer gets the impression that he is more right than others, that his path is the best for everyone, and that they themselves deserve the suffering of other beings, it is time to sound the alarm: he has gone in the wrong direction In the clutches of predators, and the usual sign of such obsession is intolerance, exaggeration of one's own purity with the inability to pure love

Another such sign is the attitude towards the suffering of other beings. The idea that the universe is harmonious because it emanates from the Great Spirit often leads to the assertion that suffering is a “path to purification,” a “necessary lesson,” etc. But how often does it turn out that the “enlightened” treat the suffering of others with such “wisdom”, without allowing their own suffering

However, if consciousness is involved in the Great Spirit, it cannot remain aloof from the pain of others, and any suffering of any being inevitably responds to pain in itself, which means that the most logical reaction is the desire to reduce suffering. The Great Spirit is not a masochist, he does not strive for self-torture, therefore even an unenlightened magician understands perfectly well that, in fact, no one deserves suffering, and, no matter how useful it may be for spiritual growth, his direct duty is to strive for weakening the torment of those around him

Only maximum tolerance, recognition of the absolute value of the multicolored world and the willingness to make maximum efforts to reduce the suffering of those around us are signs of a true expansion of consciousness
