I hope so.

95% of your own audience doesn't understand half of it even with 1000+ hours of clearly laid out and structured teachings containing a mountain of nuanced examples. What hope does a fictional movie franchise have?
-
Because the point is to teach the audience what Good is and what corruption is. It's supposed to be a genuine spiritual lesson, not just Hollywood action slop. You want a story that has spiritual realism. People at large don't know the value of truth. The Jedi are supposed to embody that value or fail to do so and show the consequences. You wanna teach your children that scamming others is good as long as its for a princess??

Jumping straight to fruit mono-meals can create quite a rapid detox process so the low energy is mostly due to detox-reactions, it can take time to feel better because its highly cleansing and clearing of a lot of old waste in the body. This is why some people incorporate sometimes smoothies, salads, avocado and maybe some nuts especially as a last meal for some slowing down of detox. Its hard to guide you over the internet but there are many groups on fb and channels on youtube with people who eat this way that may be more active and more supportive day by day. Ideally there are some good books out that you could purchase that may help while you are experimenting. Can't think of any at the top of my mind at the moment, maybe the 80/10/10 book by Doug Graham. I am quite occupied lately. https://www.facebook.com/groups/848839445195179/ Here some quick videos i saved that may help. Herbal Teas in between for support can help a lot too. All the best.

But the common folk do evil stuff to benefit themselves, without a care for the greater good; at best they delude themselves into thinking they care. Nor are they conscious that whatever they do will be directed towards the greater good regardless of intention (and they shouldn't know that as it would be the easiest thing to abuse). They're already in a very tricky situation, stuck on a shithole planet without money while protecting an important political figure. There could be better ways to solve the problem, but not within the runtime of a typical movie. Maybe a montage or some such would take care of this, but it's both more technically involved and harder to grasp for the common folk that are the majority of intended audience. Watto didn't even seem that poor, he had a whole shop and at least 2 slaves. Plus considering his level of development a dice gamble is something he himself proposed and would honor to maintain his reputation. Why fight some guys just doing a routine patrol job that probably have families to go back to, risking hurting them or yourself and attract unnecessary attention? Even a smoke cloud will cause some ruckus. It's like that story you told about cutting queues to Vegas nightclubs, you bribe the bouncer instead of fighting him or using a smoke grenade to sneak inside. Yes, their order as a whole was very problematic and they ultimately got dragged into the war as pawns of the devil, but that was more of a structural and long-standing issue with their code and other dogma, not specific actions they took in those instances. By the time of Phantom Menace the order has already probably been corrupt for centuries.

God and Truth go together because there is only One without a second. It's a specific kind of Individual awakening. It's not the only Awakening though. -

I've always resonated with Source best too. People continue to misunderstand this post when I have already laid out what i meant. -
Clear your mind by striking a poise 🎳🧘

@cistanche_enjoyer For me the reason is that if I do that, I won't have to wage-slave my way into 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. And be free with my own time and resources. That has like an infinite value.

That makes him no better than common folk. It lowers his skill and integrity. Scamming Watto was totally uncalled for. A Jedi should look for another way, rather than taking the easy path. Boring? Not at all. This makes life much harder for Jedi and more interesting to watch them deal with harder survival options. There are so many better ways to solve the problem than scamming a poor junk dealer. The scam didn't even work on Watto. Why mind-trick stormtroppers when you could just fight them? Or perhaps some kind of Force power like a smoke cloud. The Jedi are supposed to be the examplars of Goodness. Not utilitarians mercenaries. Jedi don't have to be perfectly good, but they should at least understand what is good and what is corruption. Jedi should be depicted doing everything in their power to avoid the corrupt option. He should have tried to avoid scamming Watto. Instead he had zero qualms about it. And if Jedi do corrupt things the film should depict a cost in terms of loss of connection with the Force. Jedi can act badly but then lose Force powers for it. That is far more interesting from a story perspective. For example, Qui-Gon Jin scams Watto and then gets his hand cut off in his next saber battle because he losses connection to the Force. That would be so much cooler.

@Leo Gura I don't see how perfectly Good Jedi could be written without making for a boring story or them getting quickly destroyed by the Sith. This standard of integrity is unrealistic within the established cosmology of SW, as well as our world. Without additional nuance this reads as though a proper Jedi would be a doormat following deontological ethics that allows whatever to take its course. But a Jedi wouldn't stand by and watch as the Nazis genocide the Jews. You said as much in the Balance video and elsewhere. Is there a difference between defeating Hitler through physical force and mind-tricking him into surrender? Perhaps. Luke himself in ROTJ pulled the mind-trick at least twice, and in the end he defeated evil through faith in goodness and selflessness. Obi-Wan also used the trick to convince a death stick dealer that he no longer wanted to sell drugs. Sure, he infringed on the dealer's sovereignty of mind and robbed him of a potential personal realization of his corruption and thus a beginning of redemption. But realistically, given the survival conditions on low levels of Coruscant and the dude's entire life story & worldview, could something like that even be expected? Obviously not. Taking all that into account, Obi-Wan does an evil thing in service of a greater good from a utilitarian perspective. Which is how the universe as a whole operates. Couldn't a good person hurt others while realizing and accepting that they may and likely will get hurt in return? That would be coherent/consistent. Trying to achieve perfect integrity in the relative domain is itself not integrous, by definition. Squaring a circle only works on the absolute. Knowing this to be a metaphysical limitation of its own creation, God forgives all evil. Striving to be good and truthful is paramount to be sure, but in practice it's more appropriate to frame in terms of a mathematical limit to infinity that gets infinitely close, yet never quite reaches. Consciousness of God is then the dissolution of the asymptote unifying the diverging curves into a perfect continuity. After all, even Stage Red phrases like "might makes right" have their origin in God. God is right because it is the highest might, and vice versa.

We have been using CloudFlare from day one. Since 2014. It isn't enough.

Valve makes so many billions from Steam that they can't motivate themselves to make video games any more. That's why HL3 never happened.

If you are questioning why it's called God then you haven't yet realized God. -

From the absolute POV there is no difference between incarnating as Da Vinci or a retarded chimpanzee. Both are equally valid. It is a human bias to judge these things. -

Who here has remained in a single state? I've interacted with most of you over time, some of you for a long time. Who hasn't improved over time? Only the most stubborn people do not develop over time. And these can include spiritual people. That's not the factor: The factor seems to be a willingness to explore and listen and grow over time. -

That’s pretty black pilled. Why does one incarnate as chimpanzee or as Da Vinci ? Haven’t you find it yet ? -
Leo Gura replied to No1Here2c's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Understanding requires a mind. A mind requires a body. A body requires genetics. Yes, the mind is shaped by genetics. If you had bad luck you would be a psychopath or a retarded chimpanzee. Life is unfair. -

Courage is the key. Everyone is free to be brave, in whatever way that bravery may appear. And in that sense, everyone holds, to some degree, access to Love/Truth. -
No1Here2c replied to No1Here2c's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Leo Gura But you can certainly be born with the Intuition which leads you to that understanding. you can have been gifted the Curiosity and Bravery to be willing to grow this skill. Those are inherited traits it would seem. Again it all ties back to Luck. Chaos. Call it what you must. -
Thanks! Right-o, artificial constraint is an awesome technique

There have always been Casanovas and Don Juans and sex addicts etc. But the PUA that most affected me was Payton Kane. Took me alot of years to reprogram my brain from his material but it helped me get laid at least.

All skill requires a body. A body requires genetics. Genetics is chaotic. Genetics IS a navigation of chaos. But genetics is not enough. You have to develop and train on top of it. No one is born with an understanding of Consciousness. -
I said are you Happy to be quite Wrathful today?
