Quick Guide to Buddhist Attainment (Utmost Sanity):
Do not read if you do not want or are not prepared for enlightenment.
In scripture we read that enlightenment causes earthquakes and Mara becomes so Furious and creates tornado. Harden your Life to withstand the blowback from Mara, as you really actually have to "give the Devil his due."
"The fetter which pervades the sky, with which mind is bound, with that fetter I will bind thee. Thou wilt not be delivered from me, O Samana." -Mara. Mahavagga 1.11.2
Buddha does indeed escape and brings many across with him, but here we can see Mara has worked very hard and delivered on his promise of how he would take over the Earth and Humanity.

"For what purpose is a Mirror?" Clean up ones own kamma and psychic hygiene.
This life came to be, we Feel, and we Reap what we Sow, like meeting an Old Fren or Old Enemy.
Right View: The a-brahma (in Pali literally 'not-Brahma') Realm is the War between Deva and Asura. In other words, the Abrahamic Chess Match between God and Satan we find ourselves in the Middle of IS the duality of Pleasure/Pain, Creation/Destruction, Birth-Life/Death, Truth/Lies, Heaven/Hell, and NORTH/SOUTH (respectively).
Deva/Asura is both literal AND metaphorical, in the loose sense it just means Good/Bad beings, yet also refers more specifically to Spirits (the kusala-mula and akusala-mula) behind the scenes of Human Physical Reality.
"When one is good it's easy to be good, and hard to be bad.
When one is bad it's easy to be bad, and hard to be good." -Buddha
"One can be a Deva surrounded by Asura or surrounded by Deva,
One can be an Asura surrounded by Deva, or surrounded by Asura." -Buddha
Note: Medicine is defined in Vinaya as things like Butter, Ghee, Maple Syrup, Molasses that help you eat other food you need but don't feel like eating (). Medicine is an allowed requisite even for a monk. Monks were allowed pipes and to try herbs if they were sick. They dissolved herbs into warm ghee then would snort the ghee. Monks were allowed tinctures as long as they could not taste the alcohol.
"Say what you mean and mean what you say." -Viking saying
Anger is good and requires to unravel mind control, yet if you lapse into Malice, vexatious intelligence agency remote viewers (or influencers rather) will gain access to you. If someone is remote viewing you, then you get to view thier motive. Get a powerful fan to drown out your Anger if you need to be quiet where you live. Mara has glossed Envy in all Scripture into Anger. Evil people feel Envy (and hide that fact) and Good people feel Anger. Evil alignments work very hard to appear as if THEY are the same as Good Folk. All suffering comes from failure to discern Fren from Foe.
"Good friends mix like milk and water." -Buddha

1) Give to Frens.
2) Responsibility to Frenamies. This makes half your problems inside and have outside.
This is the 5th Daily reflection yet greatly expanded upon
"I am the owner of my kamma for good or bad" .... then you will notice more and more kusala/akusala outside yourself too and be Able to Say:
"You will be responsible for your actions, choices, objectives, agendas, and lamenting..."
You need to really really really expand upon this formula and get good at it, like some kind of para-normal Where's-Waldo-Master, calling out the Head of the Snake for what it is doing. e.g. both in general and specifically:
"All vexatious telepathy will be totally responsible for it's agendas, etc, etc, etc.."
Then you LISTEN to the ABREACTION of Spirit. This method which is the actual Upekkha Brahma Vihara, can be very enlightening to one who has ears to hear, and can go all the way. People attained in different ways in the Suttas, gaining dispassion from various different things, or from different Brahma-viharas, find and utilize your strengths.
"Every owner of my neighbor 'so and so' will be totally responsible for it's objectives and motives."
"Every owner of my neighbor 'so and so' will be totally responsible for pain"
This is the only safe upbuilding way to do remote sensing. Since we want enlightenment, if the target is higher responsiblity, we recieve upbuilding educational blowback. Never try to remote view the Military.
..
3) Disgust towards Most Vile Unrepentable Non-Frens. This type has probably acted heinous and will not even respond to Responsibility. This is the Level of Harmonics. Good alignments desire to live in a harmonious symphony while evil alignments worhsip Pain, destruction, discord, and noise.
Anapana-sati Breath Meditation combined with 3d vision:
Enter 3-d vision, static observer, and exteriorize by picking two objects in your perhiphial vision and looking at them at the same time. Maintain that vision, Keep doing it.

Upbuilding Reflection: Why aren't we all just in Eternal Heavens now and always? Why Lion's Roar happen at all? Why are we liable to Dukkha?
Sunnatta (emptiness meditation) (see Majjhima Nikaya Entrance into Emptiness Sutta)
Picture the Big Bang, entire universe as and Egg in your Hands. The egg has both bright and dark in it, ALL bright and dark, ALL pleasure and pain. All that bright and dark is leaving your body into that Egg, and you body is becoming Clear, See-Thru, Transparent, you are a dirt grain being lifted in Buddha's fingernail, outside of the Entire Big Bang, into the Clear Element. It is not annhiliation, here Knowledge and Vision Arises. As Buddha says: "The counterpart to Neither-Pleasant-Nor-Painful-Feeling is Knowledge (MN)." THE MORE YOU DEVELOP THIS THE MORE REAL IT GETS UNTIL IT'S 100% REAL - NEVER FORGET THIS. Simply hearing this clear meditation, if you are free of black specks enough to take the dye, is like bringing you across the Stream with me, it is your proverbial Mustard Seed, it is showing you the re-disovered ancient path to an Ancient City. Mara wants all to forget.
If knowing more Good/Evil becomes dangerous then return to things like Anapana-sati breath meditation is NOW in the middle, between the Clear and the Sankhata, because you do NOT want to get murdered (and have to goto Heaven for very very long time), since as Buddhist we want to blast out our Human Lifetimes in the Middle to Attain Full Nirvana. Mara will tolerate you as a neutral here and probably secretly covets to make Merit, and does not want you in Heaven making Aryan Deva babies that will goto War with Asura, or gaining knowledge of all his past crimes if he orders your murder.
You have to take responsibility for Knowledge that you gain. So sometimes knowing the bare-minimum is best, and the bare-minimum is a much better than a bad 2nd of too-little-too-late.
You will get better and better at returning to the balance point where praise and blame is exactly right and Buddha consents in silence. Buddha consented in silence you know when people invited him to a meal? That is how you should view Upekkha Brahma Vihara or Responsibility Lists. Buddha defines Nirvana as "mental quietude"" and for an Arahat: "being able to think when he wants to think, and not thinking when he wants to not think. (MN)."
It is calm in the middle of a storm. That's how you Learn from the Upekkha.
The good and evil still exists outside yourself, and there is always another layer of Asura that will not repent and that will notice and attempt to drag you down again. Use Upekkha, Prayers of Disgust, and Harmonics to clear them.
e.g. "that's so blasphemous what you said Mara, may everyone in town attain, totally for free, Nirvana right now (or total free Healing mana from the Deva...etc etc), out of total free digust towards your blasphemy." Actual vexatious ones do not want such an outcome and may then retreat. If viles ones persist the area is probably owned and dominated by Asura (due to population voting for that) or one has not figured out exactly what is happening yet, and THEY have created much Discord in the Air in that sector. It takes restoring Harmonics to cancel that Discord and this post is already too long.
The vexatious ones do not want this outcome so THEY may depart from that.
It's upto you now! You can do it!
Sorry for any typos, I have to get this info out to you all quickly!
