Part 26: How to deal with Trolls
Cycle 1
“Wow,” speaks the Stranger while taking a step forward. “We have never made it this far...”
The Stranger and the Seeker both stand on a bridge made of Rainbow rays. It leads towards a great tree on a large hill in the far distance. It's taller than the mountain ranges. Swamps and marshland in the valley below. There are lamp posts and railings throughout the bridge.
As they walk along the rainbow bridge, the Seeker is lost in thought. After some time of stillness, they break the silence:
“So if you are saying reality is a game, do you believe in the simu--”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-p2xbd3mr4agd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1265b9b27160c03d1914555ad5f5a628a44392b]
“No,” interrupts the Stranger calmly.
“I am using metaphors to express something inexpressible. Any metaphor, any concept, any belief system is limited by the nature of language. No idea whatsoever, could ever truly convey the nondual nature of reality. So we need resort to concepts and mental ideas.
The Simulation-hypothesis is just as limited, as any other attempt to grasp the true nature of existence. Hunting after any concepts to explain reality is inevitably futile.
The concept I presented to you last chapter, is no different. Splitting our experience in Mind, body, spirit and emotion should only be used, as a means to get a better understanding of the different layers of your life. In no way, should this ever be turned into a fixed concept, or dogma. Be free from the known. Never get attached to any knowledge. Knowledge is only a tool, because truth is not fixed thing.
If you get attached to any accumulated knowledge, you will inevitably turn it into your new mental programming. Which will create habits. Which will lock you in a cycle.
To be free of any mental prison, one must also be free from the authority of their own thought. This doesn't mean you erase your memory. The knowledge is still stored and you can access it, whenever it's needed. It just means, that you are no longer attached to 'being right'.
Ultimately all knowledge is limited, since it is the result of one-dimensional perspectives and biased memorization. The only thing one can truly ever know, is that one knows nothing. When you have this mindset, you can explore all kinds of perspectives, ideas, concepts, without ever becoming attached to them.”
The Seeker and the Stranger suddenly stop, as they are startled by the loud voice from below the bridge, screaming:
“Hey You! Your post is shite!”
Down there, in the middle of the swamp, stands a Troll. Above his head float letters: 'u/Username123'
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-ddr328275agd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ec0fdb13d4dd9191b1d393e996fba8e2808a1ff]
The Troll points at a lamppost on top of the rainbow bridge. The Seeker notices the metallic pillar next to them.
“Hey wait a second,” ponders the Seeker, while caressing the column. “Are you talking about MY POST?!”
“Your post smells like arse!” screams the Troll from under the bridge.
“How dare you speak bad about my post?!” screams the Seeker back at him.
The Stranger holds the Seeker from falling over the edge of the railing.
“Don't go down there. It's not worth it.”
“But that bastard craps all over my Post!” cries the Seeker offended. “He didn't see the effort I put into it! I need to defend it!”

“It's your ego, that is hurt,” points out the Stranger. “He does it on purpose. To lure you down into his pit of mud. Don't fall for this trick. If you engage in any fights or try to defend yourself, you have already lost. Against your own ego. Because what the Troll actually wants from you, is your attention. And if you give it to him, he get's exactly what he wants.”
The Seeker gets angry, their fists begin to swell. “I can't just let him get away with it! I have to show him, that I am right!”
The Seeker climbs over the railing and jumps into the ditch.
The Stranger sighs...
“Damn... That means back to Checkpoint 5.”
The Stranger dissolves into air. He fades away into nothingness.
Cycle 33
After making it through the 'labyrinth of the mind', the Seeker and the Stranger traverse the rainbow bridge towards the world tree.
After some silence, the Seeker breaks the ice. “So you are telling me, if I level up MIND, BODY, SPIRIT and EMOTION, I will carry the title 'MASTER OF ELEMENTS'?”
The Stranger wants to answer, but is suddenly interrupted by a voice from below the bridge:
“People don't want the truth. They prefer to lull themselves in comfortable illusions and take cover under blankets of lies. You can't find truth in some fairy-tale rainbow BS. You must be desperate to find the truth, you must hate the lie! I shatter all illusions with my brutal sword of truth. I bitch-slap the ego out of them. I crush the ego, as I would crush an ant. Because this is the only way to end the ego, through brute force and ruthlessness!”
There are a couple other trolls around him, who quietly listen and nod, as if they just heard something profound. Some are taking notes.

“Who is this?” whispers the Seeker into the Strangers ear, while pointing at the Troll in a ditch of mud down below. Above his head float the letters: 'u/GenericUsername3301'
“A Seeker who gave up on his journey without ever finding,” responds the Stranger.
“He is a troll, the most annoying kind of troll: He is a spiritual troll. He talks of truth but lives in illusion. He speaks of ending the imaginary Self, while still operating through its very mechanisms. He speaks of 'crushing the ego', but he never questions, WHO it is that crushes the 'ego'. And yet it's obvious, that it's always the ego, that crushes another ones ego. And when the ego is bashed, it's never truly gone, It's cracks just get deeper.
He provokes others and agitates their egos. Not because it benefits them in any way. Not because they 'awaken' from it. But because it perpetuates the growth of his own ego.
He speaks of finding truth. But his view is distorted. Biased by his personal opinion, attachments and experiences. He seeks truth out of hatred for illusion. But this very hatred creates a distortion, that makes it impossible to find truth.
What is evident, is that the spiritual troll creates conflict. Wherever he goes, new conflicts arise. Which he provokes willingly. Because this is how he gets attention. And the attention he receives, strengthens his own ego.
You see, every conflict you create on the outside is just a reflection of your own inner conflict. If every room you are in, has a bad atmosphere, you should start asking yourself, whether it's you, who creates that atmosphere.”

“So what should we do?” asks the Seeker. “Is it possible to help him?”
“No. Just move on,” responds the Stranger. “Whatever you try to do, it will not work. You can't appeal to his heart and you won't appeal to his mind. Just move on with your own journey and don't let yourself be distracted by any trolls.”
“But I can save him,” argues the Seeker.
“I am sure, if he just listens, I'll be able to convince him. And when I convince him, I am able to convince myself as well.”
“No,” sighs the Stranger with pain in his eyes. “Please. Not again...”
The Seeker turns their face downwards.
“Sir! Do you have a moment to talk about the Sweeping prophet?”
However the Seeker loses their balance, falls over the railing and lands in the ditch.

The Stranger sighs and facepalms, while slowly fading away.
Cycle 99
After a long journey through the 'labyrinth of the mind', the Seeker and the Stranger cross the rainbow bridge and head towards the world tree.
“So is it now a simulation, or what?” asks the Seeker the Stranger.
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-ndfxs8pebagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=351f29967f871dbbf238c2b00cfb6bf44a40431f]
“I am aware, that it's an interesting thought experiment,” responds the Stranger.
“However the very hypothesis is based on a 21st century worldview. In the future this idea will probably seem just as absurd, as the flat earth theory seems to us. Because by then we will have explored the nature of consciousness much deeper.
Now let us ask a question: Why is this theory so popular? Is it because through spiritual or psychedelic experiences, people wake up to the fact, that there is more than just our material dimension? Or is it because a 'simulation' would have been built with an intention and we all have this intuitive feeling that our very existence on earth follows an inherent intention as well? And because a religious worldview no longer fits into our scientific discoveries, we resort to more rational explanations, such as this being in a 'simulation' or a 'matrix'?
Yes... there might be concepts, that are closer to reality than others, but whatever reality is, trying to fit it into a box with a limited explanation will always be insufficient. You can't express the infinite through finite words, because words are fragmented by nature and can only ever create a limited representation of what truly is.”

The Stranger is suddenly interrupted by loud noises coming from the ditch below. Several voices, screaming all at once.
“To quote the famous sweeping prophet...” announces a troll called 'u/Usernameism'.
“Gibberish,” interrupts the troll called 'u/GenericUsername3301' before the other one finishes their sentence.
“It's not gibberish,” defends another troll called 'u/Usernameismness'.
“Stop bullying u/Usernameism (who is totally not me, by the way)!”

“Should we do anything?” asks the Seeker the Stranger, as they look down into the ditch of mud.
“I kinda feel bad for those guys down there... They are all constantly fighting.”
The Stranger sighs.
“Okay... You know what... I am being completely honest to you. All those trolls down there are lost Seekers. They are those, who derailed from their path and are now stuck in their own dirt. If you let yourself get baited, you'll end up like the other ones. Don't fall into the ego trap.
If you believe you can save them, it's just your ego having a superiority complex. They all have their own path. They fell down there because of the decisions, they made. Respect their path. Don't interfere with their lesson, or you will end up just like them. They made it in there and they need to climb their way back out of there.”
“That's though,” comments the Seeker.
“So even though I can clearly see, that they are in a bad place, you expect me to do nothing and just accept it? Isn't that selfish to just move on, without even trying to help?”
“You will meet enough people who will actually need your help in the future,” responds the Stranger.
“And you will actually be able to help them. But should you then use your limited energy on people who don't even want your help? No. Focus your energy rather on what is best for the ALL, which means for you specifically: Staying up here on the 'high road' instead of letting yourself be pulled down into the mud. This is where you need discernment. Accept, that you just can't save everyone.”
The Seeker takes a deep inhale and breathes out some air. “Alright... Let's move on.”

The Stranger sighs in relief. This was their first successful cycle over the rainbow. With every new cycle, another Seeker crosses the rainbow bridge and reaches world tree, into the higher mind. But for the trolls in the ditch everything remains the same – At least until cycle 144.
Cycle 144
After making it through the 'labyrinth of the mind', the Seeker and the Stranger walk on the rainbow bridge. However this particular Seeker, accompanying the Mysterious Stranger, is a different kind of Seeker. A rare one, who only ever appears after the 144th cycle. He is called 'THE SEEKER OF JOY'.
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-donainuzeagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de18cc2047e3fa24a559f5c37ed8645483f828ea]
“To approach truth one must be without bias,” speaks the Stranger to the SEEKER OF JOY.
“To approach truth, one must act through unconditional love. Because truth and love are one. If there is no love behind what you do, then there also is no truth. See all perspectives. Understand every side. If you look at something from a specific angle, you'll miss out on information. As long as you push away the 'bad' and grab the 'good', you can't see truth. So you need to be choicelessly aware.
Which means you observe without any distortion. Without a direction. You need to see the whole thing from the position of BEING the whole thing. Then there is truth. Unbent and Uncorrupted. And where there is truth, there is... Hey! Wait a second... Are you even listening?!”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-2b38sn9dfagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5d8d6c0f5390dfa5d6170f2419f905686ac1156]
THE SEEKER OF JOY knots a rope together and ties a lasso. “Umm did you just say something?”
The Stranger sighs. “Are you still playing with that rope you found?”
“I am sure it must have some special use,” insists the SEEKER OF JOY.
“After all we went through an entire side-quest just to find it. Why else would there be this hidden chamber in that maze?”
“No,” sighs the Stranger.
“It's just a regular rope. We literally wasted hours on a useless mission.”
“Man I don't get you,” speaks the SEEKER OF JOY while shaking his head. “It's almost as if you are trying to rush through this entire experience. Where's the fun? Why not take your time and discover all the hidden easter eggs?”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-ycmrt2lnfagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5673b3adc08261149b5299457c75d2746ff20adc]
“I enjoy it just as much as you,” confirms the Stranger. “However, you are like one of those gamers, who literally does every single side-quest before moving on to the main quest, even when it's just repetitive missions, that bring no bounty.”
The Seeker and the Stranger both suddenly stop, as they hear a voice coming from down below:
“This is the most unawakened post, I have ever seen,” spews the troll with the name-tag u/Usernameism.
He stands in a ditch of red-brown mud and points at the post next to the SEEKER OF JOY. Another troll with the name-tag u/Usernameismness nods silently.
“Everyone is still fast asleep it seems,” comments a troll called u/GenericUsername3301, while looking around in the Ditch of Red-Brown mud.
The Stranger whispers into the Seekers ear.
“Don't waste your time with listening to this nonsense. Let's move on – nothing good will ever come out of it.”
“Are you sure?” questions the Seeker at full volume. “Seems to me like those guys need some help.”
The troll from below then turns to the SEEKER OF JOY and screams:
“Hey you! I can see you! You walk around here calling yourself awakened, but you are just as asleep, as the rest of them! You are living in a dream world of rainbows and fantasy, but reality is a dirty, muddy swamp. Suffering is all that there truly is! You think you are save up there, but eventually you will fall down, just like the rest of us!”
The SEEKER OF JOY looks at the troll with confusion. “Do I happen to know you?”
For some reason, he is reminded of a caterpillar he once met in a bar.
“We are the Awakened,” announces u/GenericUsername3301. “And I am their de facto self-appointed leader.”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-lr663yrvfagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca22170aeff272709cedf9b0820f1efea3641288]
“No you are not!” shouts u/Usernameism. “No one ever voted for you! No one even likes you!”
“I am the most superior among the awakened,” insists u/GenericUsername3301.
“That is not TRUE!” contradicts u/Usernameismness. “You are just a narcissist, using spirituality as a lame excuse for your toxic behavior! ”
u/GenericUsername3301 sighs and rolls his eyes. “Look at him guys, trying to sound intelligent.” A crowd of trolls start laughing, like parrots who never learned to speak for themselves.
“TAKE ME SERIOUS!” demands u/Usernameism in a loud voice.
THE SEEKER OF JOY observes the back and forth between the trolls, as if following the ball in a game of ping pong.
“Can I ask you a question?” speaks the Seeker and breaks the chain of attacking and defending.
“What exactly are you doing down there in the mud?”
u/GenericUsername3301 looks around, focuses his gaze on the other people in the swamp and laughs. The crowd imitates his laughter as well.
“You must be new here,” chuckles the main-troll with a condescending voice.
“Here is where all the highly evolved beings of the internet assemble! And if you wanna be one of us, you should get down here.”
The Seeker is reluctant to share his thoughts. “I don't wanna seem rude or anything... But you are literally standing in your own shit...”
“Welcome to r/Awakened,” speaks u/GenericUsername3301 with pride in his voice.
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-2n3yhgjdgagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db8cbdb6f7909f39122b23f4e083ea8566d31d81]
“I don't know...” contemplates the SEEKER OF JOY. “I don't think there's any fun down there. It looks... kinda sad... Always arguing about who is awakened and who is not. Always in conflict. People just being nasty to eachother. Comparing themselves to another. I don't think, that there is much to get from being down there.”
“Why am I being surrounded by imbeciles?” sighs the troll with the pained face of a misunderstood genius.
“Obviously this place, is where you end up, when all your work is done. This is the end of your journey. You see me? This is attainment. This is who you become when you end the Self. I have ended my ego.”
The Seeker listensattentively.
“So... Is this really the place you want to be? Like is this really your peak? You can say with certainty that your potential is fulfilled? Because... to me it rather seems, as if you just stopped moving.”
“Of course you stop moving, when you realize that nothing ever moves!” responds u/GenericUsername3301, like a repeating a platitude he once read in some book.
“No... I mean more like... Aren't you kinda stuck in your personal development?”
The troll laughs at the Seeker's statement.
“This is attainment. There is no longer a 'personality' to develop! There is no where else to go but here! You wouldn't understand such things. You aren't even awake!”
The Seeker of joy wants to react almost automatically to defend himself, but the Stranger interjects:
“Don't let yourself be baited into the mud. The best you can do is just silently walk away. Otherwise you lose against your own ego. Trust me. I've been through this before.”
The SEEKER OF JOY smiles. “Do you have trust in me?”
“Yes... I do trust you.”
“Then let me try something out,” responds the Seeker of joy. “Give me one chance:”
The Stranger nods reluctantly. “Just make sure, not to fall down this time...”
The Seeker turns back his head towards the troll in the Red-Brown Ditch.
“Let me get this straight: Reaching the highest spiritual level means to you harassing people on the internet, who never did you any harm?”
r/We_Are_Humanity - How to deal with Trolls [https://preview.redd.it/how-to-deal-with-trolls-v0-ex0sa9m4hagd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf0efe9fc719b34772f5262705e040f72eb8d0f8]
“No! That's not it! I am just bitch-slapping other peoples egos! I am provoking their egos, so that the ego becomes visible. I am freeing them from the illusion of Maya.”
“How many people have you freed from their own ego so far?” questions the Seeker.
“Well... Ummm... It's eehhh...” stutters u/GenericUsername3301. Then his face turns angry. “You have no idea, what you are even talking about! It's not a numbers game!”
“He is just a mean bully!” chimes in u/Usernameism suddenly out of nowhere.
“Exactly,” affirms u/Usernameismness.
“And you are doing just the same,” points out the SEEKER OF JOY at u/Usernameism.
“You also disrespect others for no particular reason. You try to hurt u/GenericUsername3301, just as he hurt you. Because he stirs up feelings of inadequacy within you. And now you have become the very thing, you once hated. A TROLL.
Do you really want to continue down this path? Is this really the place you want to stay, man? Is there no place you'd rather be? Can you imagine what a greater version of yourself may look like?
You used to be cool. And it saddens me to see, how you allow your light to be dimmed by feelings of revenge and insecurities. You can break your patterns and you can rise up to the top again. It is not too late. The path will always wait for you until you are ready to continue.”
The SEEKER OF JOY notices, that all other conversations fall silent and everyone listens to his words. The Seeker directs his words at the entire audience down below:
“Listen! No matter, what awakening is to you; no matter how you define it; it is not the end of the journey, it is only it's beginning. And once you start walking, the journey never stops. I was sitting on a bench for a very long time, because I believed that this was, where I was supposed to be. But only when I started to walk, I realized, that life is an adventure and we are here to play it.
So look. If you want to stay here all your life, that's okay. It's your path and I respect that. But don't come crying later, when you realize that you miss out on a lot of fun. Now if you want to find a way out of there then here, take this rope.”
The SEEKER OF JOY ties the rope he found in the 'labyrinth of the mind' on the post next to him and lets it fall towards the ground.
“All of you can use this rope,” announces the Seeker to the entire swamp.
“Use it to climb your way out of here and reach your next level. It's free to use for all of you.”
The Seeker of joy faces the troll called u/GenericUsername3301 directly:
“You can also use it, if you want to. Find out, whether there is something beyond 'attainment'. Find out, whether you can surpass your own limit and break the next barrier. Or just stay here, if you don't want to. It's up to you.”
“Gibberish,” spews u/GenericUsername3301 dismissively.
“Let's make the impossible possible," continues the Seeker of joy undeterred. His eyes are burning.
"You can use awareness to level up your mind, your body, your spirit and your heart. You can use this to win in your own life! And when you win in your life, life levels up with you.
Most of you think that there is only one way to win: By comparison. You think that you can only win, when someone else loses. You think that truth must only belong to you. And so you fight and fight. And you never realize that we can only ever win together. When one loses, all will lose. When one wins, all will win. We only truly win, when we find a way for all to win. In your own personal story. In your own individual life.
People focus on the enemy outside, while they don't even see the enemy within. Because you are not in conflict with another, you are only ever in conflict with yourself. And there is only one single way to win this battle: Through Love. Through limitless, unconditional love. So stop fighting eachother, because it neither brings you closer to truth, nor will it bring you closer to love. Every harm you put to someone else, you only ever do onto yourself!”
The SEEKER OF JOY takes a look around. The entire swamp is silent. The Seeker of joy turns towards the Stranger.
“I said everything, I wanted to say. Now it's up to them. I'll leave that rope here. They can take it or not. Let's move on.”
The Seeker and the Stranger move on along the bridge.
The trolls in the swamp remain silent. After some time the chattering begins again. But one of the lost Seekers, lurking in the mud, suddenly stands up. The mud falls from his face. A small spark lits up in their eyes. A flame ignites. With a focused gaze the lost Seeker grabs the rope and begins to climb. The mud falls from their face. There is a strange glow emanating from the face of the forgotten Seeker. The name-tag above their head fades away.
“I will be there first!” shouts the Seeker with a playful smile.
The trolls down in the ditch begin to chatter. Another lost Seeker, covered in mud, approaches the rope and starts to climb as well. Then another one. Every troll, who climbs the rope turns back into a Seeker. Several people start climbing the rope and the Red-Brown Ditch of Mud loses its residents.

Each of the Seeker who made their way back up, isgreeted by a Mysterious Stranger with a big smile, saying: “Took you quite a while to get back up here.”
Some of the trolls threw mean comments. Others just ignored them. The brave ones found their way back up, to realize who they truly are.
“Wow,” speaks the Mysterious Stranger to the SEEKER OF JOY from cycle 144. “I must admit... I was wrong. I was sure, that you will fall down. But you didn't only prove me wrong, you just broke the high-score.”

The Seeker and the Stranger suddenly stop as they hear a voice, as loud as thunder:
“YOU THERE!”
It's from a man with golden teeth standing at the very end of the rainbow bridge. On the edge of a large hill, where the world tree has it's roots. Armored like a guardian, he carries a horn in one hand and a sword in his other hand.
“What tempts you to come here? Here, at the gateway to the Higher Mind?”
