There’s another important application of the principle of having to own it first in order to be able to give it to God. It’s the concept of karma.
Essentially, if parts of your karmic body were created by all sorts of godless actions, they are deformed, impure and, essentially, broken, because they contain in themselves something that is incongruent with God, your soul will retain this incongruence in everything you do, so in order to come in alignment with God, you have to iron that stuff up. The evil that is contained in that structure needs to be removed – usually by a combination of understanding, remorse and suffering. This is a process of giving a part of your soul back to God, by making it free from the warping and defiling influences of all things that are incompatible with God. The process of purifying your soul and freeing it from evil is the process of bringing it back under God’s sovereign rule, because if sin and evil own it, God doesn’t.
Purifying external karmic substance, after having purified your own, essentially means to bring it back to God, by owning it yourself, claiming all the impurities and sins contained therein for yourself, and then purifying it with understanding, remorse and suffering the way one does with parts of their soul, because once you’ve integrated it into yourself in the process of purification, you own it. It’s your impurity and sin now, and once you purify it, it’s your pure karmic substance, to grow your soul, one kalapa at a time.
So, as you can see, people talk about surrendering everything to God, but reality of it is both more simple and more complex than what they envision. They would usually think it means giving away your wealth to poor people, while in reality it’s more akin to doing things with it that God would do in your place, and the only good way of doing it is by purifying your soul first, so that it is aligned with God and contains no parts that belong to the world or, even worse, to the Evil One.
There’s also a misapprehension some Christians seem to be under, and that’s the belief that “helping the poor” can justify some highly questionable actions. Let’s imagine an example of a man whose son is a self-serving satanic narcissistic bastard, who spends all his money on expensive shit, on his fellow sodomites, and on other evil activities. Since he’s constantly in debt and out of money, he keeps asking his Christian father to give him some. Since the father can’t deal with this situation properly, he gives him the money and rationalises it to himself by saying that Christ wanted us to give to the needy.
That’s not at all what Christ meant. Christ didn’t mean giving money to a whoremonger who ran out of money for whores and drugs. Christ didn’t mean giving money to a guy who wants to buy a gun to shoot his wife with but he ran out of cash. No, Christ meant giving money to the guy whose house burned down in a fire and whose children are now on the street. That’s what he meant. Financing sin is claiming its fruits for yourself. Financing evil people in their evil and debauchery is not very different from partaking in them yourself. You’re supposed to finance people of God who do things of God, because this way you will live under the Throne of God and partake in God’s glory. You’re supposed to remedy the evils of Satan and this world. You’re not supposed to give money to the needy criminals who fight God. That’s what I have to say about that.
Well, in this world, if it has been tailored to the Devil’s design, there will not be many models or patterns for attaining the high spiritual states necessary to achieve Darshan.
And then there is the additional problem that, for a layperson, it is difficult to identify the kind of material that—if we were talking about mountaineers—would be called maps of hiking trails through the wilderness.

I am struggling with this since the day I adopted AI to continue existence of my company.
It was matter of survival, but it still feels exactly like "just one little lie" or "lesser evil".
I don't know about Musk, but those other guys running these companies are openly up to no good and I'm supporting them regardless of amount.
As Geralt would say … "Evil is evil".
You would get along great with Mihael, since he hates AI and will eventually have problems in his company that worships AI as God. 🙂
Are Chinese AI guys as evil and gay as Western AI guys? If not, why wouldn’t you use DeepSeek, Qwen or Kimi?
I don't know Chinese AI guys for start, but to repeat Geralt "evil is evil" – and I doubt they are doing it for the goodness of their hart.
Also, they get crazy expensive. DeepSeek was affordable but was a far cry compared to western AI and they are now matching western prices.
Kimi is very expensive and not very token effective, so it's actually even more expensive.
Never tried Qwen.
Western AIs offer subscription which makes them 10x or 100x less expensive than API usage. DeepSeek and Kimi are API only (Kimi will probably return subscriptions but when I tried it – subscriptions were cancelled).
Also, Western AIs are simply much better for now. I am talking about coding, of course, I don't use it for anything else.
Chinese will put AI into surveillance and military stuff right away and without moralizing and Americans will moralize a lot, have conferences about how bad it is and put it in weapons in secret right away. That's the only difference.
As for practical things, Deepseek is very good for when you have some specific, concrete thing that can be quantified, which is documented and just requires a lot of manual work. For example migration of servers, tuning of databases, coding which is not architecture-imagining but implementation, that works fine.
Western AIs are better at "imagination", meaning they have a larger pool of available patterns and can give you an idea how to do something in a different way you haven't though of, it you prod it correctly.
But for both you have to keep close eye on what they are doing and push back to suggestions, and work with AI until the "spec" is clear and coherent, and only then let it work. Basically 90% of work is making a coherent spec, and the coding part actually works ok.
What you loose is control over code. Forget about fixing the stuff AI writes ever by hand.
I mean, if your problem is participating in evil, then good luck, because this world is so coded that participating in some kind of evil is absolutely inevitable regardless of what you do. Fill up the car, you finance Arabs. Use fiat currency, finance America's world domination. Eat food, kill some beings. So, that part is not what I had in mind.
Just one more thought here. To successfully implement something like this, self-discipline is needed because many sinful things pull at your sleeve and tempt you. For example, that father must stick to not giving his sinful son money for sinful things even if he asks for it. And since he is his son, that is not easy. He must always remember that God comes first.
Basically, conflict is necessary sometimes, and if you keep maintaining the line of least resistance, you can be pretty sure you're doing nothing Satan would object to.
I just wonder how many souls survived his direct attack, the number is probably small.
Oh, I think you would be surprised. If he attacks you directly, it already means you're an exceptionally hard target and his default methods of handling things indirectly were unsuccessful. Basically, you didn't get deceived by anything and remained faithful to God. So, if he had to handle you directly, you're already in the same group as Jesus. I think his success rate in this group couldn't have been very high. It couldn't have been zero either, since I had to deal with the remains.
Sorry if you've already said this somewhere, but I'm curious… Those who didn't make it, whose remains you had to clean up, what did they most often fall for, so to speak? They killed themselves, sold their souls, committed some horrible sin…
They followed the logical consequences of accepting that being the creator and master of this world equals being God.
Just a few more thoughts. I thought it was very rare for someone to discover that this presence, posing as a god of love, is actually Satan. So everyone is terribly susceptible to this deception. Those who survived either carried some authentic memories of God and/or had guidance from above. I know only Jesus and Buddha spoke openly about it.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Similarly, giving love indiscriminately creates hell. If, on the other hand, someone acts irresponsibly and, over time, continues to do evil, then, if that person is useful to the Devil in breaking down good beings, the Devil shows him favor, protection, and love—if that is really what you want to call it.
Who receives the Devil’s “love,” under what conditions, and therefore for what purpose, is clearly a very specific matter. That psychopath is actually much more like an unscrupulous animal trainer than a “heavenly father.”
Let’s say that, in some place, you have certain miserable beings who harass the good beings around them (they might be street thugs, or they might be employees of some local municipal administration, … or it could be a symbiosis of the two). Their trajectory is clear: they have no prospect other than their own degradation, ultimately ending in the disintegration of their integrity.
Let’s say that alongside such “demonic beings” you have “regular” people in the neighborhood or in that particular local community, and let’s say they “mind their own business.” Then the Devil begins dispensing his love to the “regular” ones because they are pliable and useful for his plans. I mean, it’s vomit-inducing.
And in the end, that rule from the beginning of the text proves itself once again: “there is no such thing as a free lunch.”
There is no static corner where someone can hide; an individual must build good character or, conversely, after enough time, cease to exist.
There are different kinds of love. Satan will offer you human understanding and support in your weakness. God will offer uncompromising transcendence. You pick.
