    Give all your desires and wants and ideals (stuff you think you need to be happy) as gifts to God. Tou may even visualize wrapping them as if a birthday or christmas gift.

    How should I deal with this specific paragraph with some past relationship I'm unable to forget. I'm unable to forget a certain Mr B.  Should I visualize my desire for Mr B in the form of a wrapped gift given at the altar? This will be particularly hard because it's an intense desire and past memory. It's my only emotional possession I don't wish to be separated from. I believe that when we die, these emotional possessions and sentimental objects like memories, photos, shirts, items of clothing or jewelry are carried with us into the afterlife by our souls. I don't know. Kinda hard.

    @Reena @Phil Let me attempt to clarify.  You can realize your ego is not Yours and that You doesn't control you.  I know this sounds a bit cray cray at first.  You have be open to the idea that the ego is not connected to the Self and actually doesn't even exist.  This is not about shaming the ego, it's much deeper than that.  Anyway, this is hard to communicate.  Think of the Self as a handheld mirror and the ego as what's being displayed in the mirror.  The mirror when it has awoken to its true nature doesn't even care what is being displayed in its lens so to speak.  It knows it's the mirror and regardless of what is being displayed in its lens, it is not existentially affected by any of that as the mirror.  What is displayed in the mirror's lens is the illusion of reality.  The Truth of Reality is the existence of the Mirror or the Self.  That's a good pointer as to the relation between the ego and the Self that I got from Adi Shankara.  You can see how the ego is an illusion of the Self but not the Self and why the Self is not concerned with ego.  The Self is not threatened at all by ego.  But imagine the mirror thought it was what was being displayed in its lens!  That would be mistaking the ego to be the Self.  The Mirror is the Witness to what's being displayed in its lens.  Notice how the Mirror is unchanging too and outside of the change going on in what it's Witnessing.  It's outside of space and time and also Omniscient and Omnipresent because it knows the Truth of what is being displayed (but not Real) and what it is as the Self.  It's Self-realized as the Mirror.  The power of the Advaita Vedanta pointer.  I'm kind of in love with this right now to be honest.  But you gotta let it work on you, it's not just theory.  It has to get under your skin and for me it kinda has.  I'm re-integrating it because I've studied this stuff for years.  I have more clarity now as to the Self vs. the not-Self distinction.  Other people are in the lens too.  The only thing that exists is the one Mirror itself.

    This is a good explanation. I have seen in my experience that dealing with people in general is a very complex problem. And I apply a very simplistic solution to it. I just avoid people in general. Because a lot of the time I become a victim of their projections, assumptions and biases and I am tired of that. 

  3. @Joseph Maynor I think your list is exhaustive yet it doesn't have space for people who grow from mistakes. Not everyone is perfect. And some individuals are toxic for some time whereas others are consistently toxic. I guess if someone gradually reduces your productivity it's time to cut them off for good. Most people however imo are good enough. Your frustration and tolerance levels will depend on your productivity. If someone is not being productive to you even once a week, I think those are the ones you should avoid. I don't consistently place very high standards on people around me but I expect them to be productive to me at least once a week. I can't tolerate someone who is completely out and out, in the sense they are really beyond help where they persistently create drama and don't change year after year or refuse to communicate, that's where it ends for me. I am usually quite tolerant with most people so it must take a tsunami of annoying behavior to finally piss me off. The other is when the vibe is just off and I know the person cannot be trusted especially if the behaviour falls in the bracket of passive aggressive, that's highly unstable and I just stay miles away from that, that's just never healthy, it's a fertile ground to be mistreated over and over.
