And so in bhakti yoga, God doesn't care if you are connected to God via love or even hate.

because the connection itself is all that matters and the more like there's stories of demons that wanted to kill krishna and were so focused on hating them him that they became his like greatest devotees because just via the attention they transformed similarly whether you hate the state love the state hate the dems love the dems hate the republicans love the republicans

all of your attention is fixated on this fucking thing.

And what do they say?

Neurons that fire together, wire together, your brain changes.

It literally will change the neurological makeup of your brain.

You've become a political animal, fixated, trapped, petrified in this.

And you've completely are missing out on all the other things that are happening around it.

And that's what gives it that

malevolent glow of some dark deity.

Because via your fixation and focus, the rest of reality dims.

Everything else dims until all you're doing is saying some mantra against the state or for the state.

Now you've become a cultist.

Now you are fully

engrossed in this new religion, which is worship of the state via hate or adoration.

It's the same thing.

Don't trick yourself into thinking because you hate Donald Trump that you aren't bowing down at that altar.

That's a whole part of bhakti yoga.

Attention.

Where attention goes, energy flows.
