That anon is spiritual. The ones s/he is arguing with are religious.
Inner peace is what remains after thoughts, emotions etc are contained via mental discipline. It is your most natural state. Please let yourself return to it from time to time, fren 🙏
All of those things are illusions, as is time itself, as am I, as are you. You seem to be suffering so I worry about you, but really it's a bit silly to worry about dream-people…
Suit yourself, just maybe don't get so wrapped up in the role that you forget what you really are(n't), you know? Even though they are only consequences in a dream, the results of forgetting are experienced as if they are real.
Have fun 😄
A master would not speak, or would do so very little, and would probably not bother to deal with people at all, but rather stare silently at a wall or candle and so on. I'm not one of those. They won't come here even when I beg them, at least not that I know of. Then again it could be argued that, since they lack inherent, independent existence, there are no masters except for an appearance of masters that we create and project with our minds, rendering the whole thing moot, which is part of why they generally neither talk nor bother to come here and teach.

That's hilarious. Like monty python tier.
