On the path I constantly realize why meditation in nature being under the tutelage of a master and practicing diligently for years with perfect techniques is important.
Whenever I have these ideas some entity appears and tells me how you can get the results with a different way. I remember Li saying that do the exercises in this book diligently and be virtuous and a master will grant you gifts while you sleep. Well the "masters" appeared while I was awake and with their cooperation I had to perform those "surgeries" on myself while my hands were gently "led" and my mind was filled with the thoughts necessary to do that. It's the usual big leap of faith because you might never know when is an entity trying to fuck over you hard.  Entities constantly tell me that I have trust issues and I should calm down a little but they accept my caution and tell me enough details so I can trust them 

My next problem was that

> spirit is ruled by its environment
First you need to make sure to meditate in a pure environment or you get disturbed. No electricity no cars no noises from society because that will disturb you. Then you either stay in the "pure zone" or realize that the pure spirit will overcome anything no matter what. God is everywhere after all.

My problem was that I never had a "pure" zone. I always decided that I will do something and I just did it. And it always produced results. If it works it works I thought. In the end only results matter after all. But was that the right outlook? Shouldn't I have done things differently shouldn't I find a "proper way" already? As a genius or more likely a fool... most of your "Ideas" will blow up in your face. But you will learn from that and you will find out more and more things why your ideas do or don't work. Every master has a master... but what about the first masters? Who was their master? Who taught them? If they could do it then why can't you do that. And masters need their students so they can grow further. Masters learn from their students and the greatest thing you can do as a student is that you surpass your master. 
Damm I am losing the point I am trying to make again.

So the thing I am trying to say the spirituality of the east and the materialist west. The self immolation. This was an extremely elaborate curse and a blessing. It cursed everyone who was without compassion and tried to destroy spirituality for the sake of materialism. Only someone with pure compassion can pull it off. And it will destroy everyone who is unable to accept compassion. 
This is where I realized this was the first time when the "civilized west" accepted the "barbaric and backwards east". This was when the traditions of the east were noticed and accepted by the west as not some exotic goofy shit but something that has power and grace in it.
