we do not live in a universe that concerns itself with any doctrine. we may choose to cause less harm, and by doing so, create a world in which it is more enjoyable to live. or we can ignore causing harm, and in our ignorance, believe an indifferent, but unimaginably diverse universe, wishes us somehow harm.

That is why i bring miracles. A miracle is an idea that substitutes for thousands of years of trial and error that thing that already exists. For example a miracle physical healing comes form the awareness of what already exists in the eventuality of time. That is to say that disease is self resolved by the human energy systems with rest. An easy mind generates the manifestation of the body at ease. The idea that somehow our purpose is to light our minds to go off and be away from or above and apart from the world robs of of the practical effects of the peaceful being. Bunch of airheads because of a lack of physical awareness If your sage dude ain't making a fairly immediate difference to those around him he simply isn't much of a teacher. We know them by their fruit.
