I’m not claiming to be some spiritually enlightened master, I do like Jiddu though and just think that one quote was particularly apt. Of course, if we go all the way into Krishnamurti, this whole conversation and all the argumentation doesn’t matter and is just a distraction from choiceless awareness or what you will, which is fair enough but sort of ends all possibility of conversation.

The direct, practical, immediate view of mine, though, aside from all hippie bullshitting and mysticism, is that THIS RUSHED VACCINE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. You know there’s a Buddhist parable that goes something like, a kid in a burning house is playing with toys and is so obsessed with the toys he doesn’t even notice. It appears “harsh” and “rude” to him to be abruptly pulled away from the toys and out of the burning house in the short-term, but it’s for his ultimate good.

That’s parallel to real spirituality in my opinion. It’s not just about, “Oh, well, if you were really enlightened you wouldn’t be so angrily declaiming about these ‘conspiracy theories.’” No, it’s just saying the truth: we’re ruled by genocidal maniacs, don’t trust them. OP’s family member, again, may be a crazy loser, but that doesn’t mean he’s wrong in being paranoid. Funny how that works out.
