MessageTo be tolerant of something, is it necessary to indulge in it?
By being racist, violent, pornographic and hateful, are we being tolerant of it?
Indulgence in these "negative" thought forms is sometimes a form of addiction, and it can be useful to exhaust the addiction by reaching the ultimate point of contraction before being released from them: false yin cannot contract infinitely but always reaches a point of exhaustion, and expands back out. But by doing this are we not also reinforcing that pattern?
If our intention is to attain so-called mastery over parasitic thought forms by maintaining and perpetuating them, are we not feeding them through our indulgence?
What if we feed them neutrality, non-doing, yuan qi or effortlessness?
Is that a way to release their hold on us?
