Of course I am the judge of my worthiness, and my goal is to discover infinite worth in myself

I am proud of some of the things I have accomplished in this life time. Having said that, I find being proud of those things does not mean too much because, for the most part, I don't share much of that information with others.

Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.

Can I say "Yes and No"? I was reading about the Gnostic version of this, and while I'm fascinated at their idea of a "demiurge" (an imperfect version of god that essentially made our world with all of it's flaws out of ignorance), I take it as symbolic. I think we do face real struggles in life and many people are ready, willing, and able to antagonize others. But on a deep level, it always comes down to ignorance. Our "adversaries" think they are fighting for what is right, even if they have taken on a cause that is selfish and destructive. Given the opportunity, over enough time, they could find their way out of that ignorance and become kind, spiritual people.

about people understanding things said. Thank you.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I agree that almost everyone believes that what they are doing is right. It is a difficult belief to snap out of. And if one was to challenge most peoples belief in themselves all hell breaks loose. Usually.

Is there such a thing as an adversary?
Of course, I had and have problems understanding this realm as non-dual.
Something as an act of reinforcing the chasm is not appropriate but who's to say... sometimes there is none. .....
