330. If you use spirituality as a "guide," there will be fewer problems.

In life, there are things that cannot be decided by numbers alone.

• Intuition.
• Meaning.
• Hope.
• Values.

These things are important. Therefore, spiritual stories can be used as auxiliary lines to help with real-world judgment. However, it is dangerous if these auxiliary lines replace reality itself.

• Household finances should be viewed as household finances.
• Health should be viewed as health.
• Contracts should be viewed as contracts.

Furthermore, regarding one's outlook on life, "leave it to the universe." If this order is followed, major contradictions are less likely to occur.

331. "Escapism" and "Changing Perspective" are different.

It is not necessarily bad to temporarily distance yourself from problems through spirituality. In times of suffering, the following may be helpful:

• Have a different perspective.
• Create meaning.
• Have hope.

Therefore, it can also lead to emotional stability. However, if you permanently avoid dealing with the problem itself, that is not a change in perspective, but rather an escape from reality. This boundary is also important.

332. High-priced seminars are dangerous because "hope" and "economic burden" are linked.

When people are feeling vulnerable, hope is extremely valuable. However, when that hope comes with a high price tag, another problem arises. The stronger the feeling of "If I accept this, my life will change," or "If I don't change here, I'll be stuck like this forever," the more difficult it becomes to make a rational judgment about the price. This is because the hope itself becomes a motivating factor for purchase.
