Donald Trump a testament of ego and a lack of spiritual understanding.

[mccoy]

To be even more objective, I asked the AI Gemnii about the logical matter. Gemini introduces some more nuances into the issues, but the take-home I see is that it is not such a straightforward issue and all depends on the context. Such details are lost when political opponents use words as propaganda against an adversary. Not considering context has always been particularly true of Mr. Trump's opponents.

Gemini, if a person says another person is smart, does it belie pure admiration or can we consider it a simple statement?

Calling someone smart can be a simple statement of recognition, but it can also carry undertones of admiration or even envy. It all depends on the context and the relationship between the speaker and the listener.

If the speaker knows the person well and has observed their intelligence firsthand, calling them smart is likely a genuine expression of admiration for their abilities. However, if the speaker is less familiar with the person or is speaking in a more formal setting, it could be a more neutral observation.

Additionally, the way the statement is delivered can also influence its meaning. A simple, matter-of-fact statement of "You're smart" might be taken as a straightforward observation, while a more emphatic or exaggerated statement might be seen as a stronger expression of admiration or even flattery.

Ultimately, the meaning behind the statement is subjective and can only be truly understood by considering the specific context and relationship between the speaker and the listener.

The challenge with smartness, is that mental capacity is often not only harmful to others but also can be harmful to the individual. This is true because people do not  understand how to be kind and helpful but rather they use  others for the enhancement of their own ego. When encountering such resistance in others, it is not very important to be correct. Correctness rarely solves the issues between  people. Rather it can cause resentment and a determination to stick with a habit of thoughts. It is helpful if we can offer solutions that increase the conscious awareness of others rather than reasoning that limits our awareness. This is a benefit of meditation. Without it individuals are forever engulfed in their egos ; to mold the world into the image of their own making.

Amma has said that we may often wonder about ourselves when people are not kind to us and to others, we should realize, there are people who practice meaness because they only have one view; that is there own. When we (including myself) see this in others let us be careful we ourselves aren't the expression of what we witness in those we see in our daily interaction with those we meet and see in the world stage as well.

Without a proper understanding of ego, we are hopelessly lost in obstancy. Balancing our conscious mind with the suggestions of spiritual inspiration brings solutions that were previously not recognizable. But glorifying the ego by making comments like; 'show me a person with no ego and i will show you a failure' clearly shows a lack of understanding of what Paramahansa Yoganada and other  spiritual giants manifested.

Let us look at the success of Paramahansa Yoganada, Amma and other spiritual giants. They have not glorified their ego but rather worked and served to contain it. This is a political message that has served to uplift countries as we have seen in the likes of a Ghandi or  Nelson Mandela.

I think that there are various planes of mental awareness and that it is not possible to compare different planes. It is not possible for example to compare saintly politicians like Gandhi to usual politicians who are driven by ego. They may need their ego and the motivation it carries. Whereas saintly figures are motivated by Dharma and Karma, mainly.

You have seen I have made the comparison. We have come to a time in the dwapara where men like Gandhi, Navalny, Zelinski, Mandela, Washington and Lincoln have entered the world stage. And there will be instances where politicians consciously work against.the spiritual laws of dharma, as Trump.has with his honering the ego and those who also do so in their power hungry rulerships. Let us absorb as much above such duality as we can and recognize that such power trips are not among our highest interests as mother earth 🌎🌎 moves into the higher ages, and rulers today and in the recent past show up to usher in a higher age.

We can take comfort in the ego less council that Krishna gave to Arjuna as a way to rule beyond the power hungry ego manifested rulership of his brother and the need to fight the ego in the Bhagavad Gita. We can rise.above family interests and have a community interest. We can rise above selfish country interests and consider the world at large; the protection of democracy from evil tyrants and the welfare of mother earth rather than selfish territorial acquisition and making ours better than every one else's.

Below 👇 shows a statesmen, living today. Not an opportunist leading his country for his own self interest, as we see today here in the states.

Amma represents a political movement, as did Krishna, to help mother earth and encourage dharma in world political movements. Let us show that we do not live in a world politically divided, where righteousness is unable to influence the new age we are progressing into and the world leaders reflect the best in us and not the worst.

Trump on egos;

”Show me someone with no ego and I'll show you a big loser." ~Donald Trump

Wow this guy is so far from a true Guru or a Master that he is totally lost!



Having researched and followed Trump closely since he announced his bid for the presidency, I see him as a paragon of what Herbert Marcuse called the “one-dimensional man.” Trump’s one dimension is his gigantic ego, which must be fed with unlimited amounts of adulation, money, power and attention. He seems to have no interests beyond his business and political enterprises, and no interest in culture or ideas beyond those he can exploit in his business or political campaign. And as biographers have noted, he does not seem to be burdened with self-reflection or self-awareness — only an overwhelming sense of self-importance.

Trump has a gloomy pessimistic view of the world encapsulated in a quotation from him that appears in Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher’s book Trump Revealed: “Man is the most vicious of all animals, and life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat. You just can’t let people make a sucker out of you.”

Winning appears to be Trump’s only purpose of life and the organizing principle of his existence. To win, Trump appears ready to do anything. This raises the specter of what a losing Trump would do with nuclear weapons under his control, and what destruction his unrestrained ego and uncontrollable id might unleash upon the world if he gained office and then were threatened in any way. Moreover, the large following that Trump has developed through his demagoguery signals that authoritarian populism constitutes a clear and present danger to US democracy, and global peace and well-being. How we deal with these issues is the crucial challenge of the contemporary moment.

Trump’s ego, selfishness, temperament unfit to lead our nation (Letter)
Published: Oct. 28, 2024, 1:54 a.m.





By Letters to the Editor | The Westfield News
Among Donald Trump’s myriad of flaws, the most pernicious is his selfishness. He puts his own needs above those of others, often at the expense of others and his country. His narcissism, his sense of victimhood, and his sense of grievance are manifestations of his selfish nature.

First, he is all ego. He is constantly bragging about his wealth, often inflating his wealth. He has an exaggerated sense of his own importance, declaring that “I alone can fix it.” He overstates his achievements, falsely claiming that he presided over the greatest economy ever. He obsesses over crowd size, craving adulation. He becomes angry when criticized, seeking retribution against his political opponents. He views himself as superior, demeaning others, such as Kamala Harris, whom he called “mentally impaired.” He never accepts responsibility for his actions, blaming biased judges and poor attorneys for his indictments and convictions. He is easily manipulated by flattery, and dictators like Putin know it. He does not understand the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers, calling them “suckers and losers.”

Second, Trump constantly plays the victim. Despite being convicted by a jury of his peers in the “hush money trial,” he rails against a legal system that he says is “rigged” against him. The Russia investigation was a “witch hunt” and a “hoax” propagated by the “deep state.” The call he made to President Zelensky of Ukraine, asking for dirt on the Bidens in exchange for arms shipments, was a “perfect call.”

We are moving into a higher age where technologies and spiritual guidance are a part of everyday life. We can no longer glorify the ego at the expense of Mother Earth and humanity. We need the type of wisdom that Solomon and Arjuna gave to their people. The confines and avidya of Donald Trump will be a testimony of the maya and ignorance he brings into the international sphere with his earthly and materialistic wisdom he brings into the rising Dwapara Yuga that is not a good fit for the destruction he is bringing to Mother Earth and her continuing crying 😭 out in pain because of the factors of greed and power he represents. The world community- at large- is attempting to bring in a new age, while the factors of manipulation and corruption bring a discouraging example to these higher ideals.

We are all watching a cosmic movie. The movie is construed in different manners by different spectators. Sometimes, this is a big skill of the director, to leave room to different interpretations.

The cosmic movie is the same. I like this turn of the plot, the global scenario is becoming more lively and, to tell the real truth, the right sphere of thought, American society was plummeting down a dystopic reality where the ideology reigned supreme over the most basic common sense.

In the cosmic drama we have characters who have not only inflated egos, but are so puffed up they attempt to bamboozle everyone. People who are not only beyond sense but senselessly make bombastic claims about themselves and others, to appear glorified in their blinding radiance.

Steve, but.....

The short video you posted, portrays the former POTUS Barack Obama, one of the strongest enemies of the present POTUS Mr. Trump.

Of course he'll say everything bad about his opponent. On an issue that seems not very significant to me. his name on a check.

As if Mr. Obama had no ego. He has a ego, and most Presidents must have a strong ego, otherwise they wouldn' be good for that job.

The only exceptions are the very few, spiritually elevated people who chose to serve their nations as political figures, a role that very few advanced people are willing to play.

Many avatars, when playing political roles, forget about their past spiritual lives. This is the case of William the Conqueror.

Perhaps not significant to you but to most of the population it was very significant to get stimulus checks. It  is an interesting phenomenon that the top 1% of the richest wealthy people in the U.S. and their sympathizers literally have no idea 🤷‍♂️ what the average American household is facing today and are so insensitive that they continue to make economic slaves out of the rest of the population.

I don’t mean to criticize you personally mccoy but it is obvious to me you have little to no understanding of what the people went through during the pandemic and how much those stimulus checks meant to me as well when I was unable to go to work because I was concerned for the welfare of others. People that are spiritual should be able to show some compassion. But one must recognize that the law of association makes people who associate with a selfish man like Donald Trump become and assimilate their character.

Humility is a quality associated with wisdom and spirituality. Ego is associated with ignorance and death to spiritual understanding. Let us be honest about the blatant love of ego that Trump represents.

Steve, your continuos criticism of this man is unflinching, I wonder, to what purpose? Again, you denied it but maybe there are some karmic issues with you and this other soul. It is an unending ad-personam criticism, as if we didn't know that he has a lot of flaws.

It is interesting how you see it mccoy. You personalize a movement. It is not about one man but rather like the nazi movement, the MAGA movement has many of the same trappings. I will say this though, the personification of a dangerous movement that is a cult is nothing new and Paramahansa Yogananda has said who ever we meet this life we have met before. This movement is not just about flaws but to take down the constitution and democracy. A movement to glorify despots and to bind the rest of the population that aren’t the richest few into economic slavery.

Right now the United States is going through an existential crisis. I was born as that happened during the civil war. I also am born this time to help face and protect this country from despotism and straying from being a country of forced slavery as was the case during the civil war. This time though it is not so much a matter of color but rather a matter of economic slavery.

And as you can see again I’ve been brought into the middle of the crisis as now I am the in the country that Trump has decided to release his vengeance upon.

It is not a mater of flaws. Flaws are one thing but to bring a whole country down as a result of personal
flaws is something a whole nation should take action against….

Speaking from pure objectiveness, the previous administration accelerated a dangerous and worrying decline in the American society. I was no more recognizing the America the great Yogananda extolled.

By pure consequential logic, Trump is in a way supporting the ideals of a society Yogananda had, although not by spiritual awareness, that's clear.

A ‘dangerous and worrying society’ you offer no evidence of that here. Only conjecture and ideological bias. I sincerely think that Yogananda would have never supported a man who singled handedly attempted to destroy the constitution and have a coup d'état making the wealthy oppress the working class, supporting dictatorship around the world. Paramahansa Yogananda warned against communism and the communists are presently fighting in Russia against a sovereign nation who has been invaded by a communist most of his life; Vladimir Putin worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
