Bro, it's like he took Leo's video, feed into the AI, and ask for a summary and he is reading it. But to give him credit, his earliest video is 8 years old.

Enlightenment is mere surface level grasp on consciousnesss. You can understand consciousness without the need for peace & tranquility. And you can have peace & tranquility without true understanding of consciousness. -
To me it sounds like shes not buying the BS. 'This robot has more positions than atoms in the universe.' He really said this robot has more than 100,000 quadrillion vigintillion body positions.

You sure this is at the correct sub-forum?

Everything has a cost, even spiritual development. I’m not sure I’d consider it worth it for me I would blame Leo if wasn’t so developed

This redefining of matriarchy as something that's closer to egalitarianism reminds me of how certain progressives tried to redefine racism as being defined by power relations. Calling everyone who's white racist and that it's not possible to be racist if your a minority. The definition of matriarchy is political exclusion. It's obviously silly and hypocritical to advocate for that, so why use that term? -

Here is my touch of advocacy for the devil. Side note: 'need' is a far stretch, but we can settle for that. 'Superiority' is not the proper paradigm to be approaching this. The universe created both sexes without a need, desire, or thought for inherent superiority. Universe does not give a shit about "good idea" other than through us. Have you seen the things wandering this planet? At least half of them are brilliantly pathetic ideas. Superiority, as it is being held in this frame, based upon tendencies, traits, & activities, is an imagined, abstract construction held within the human mind. It has no grounding or foothold existing in the reality 'out there'. It is purely mental. Sexes, better to be viewed from a position of neutrality, taking into consideration the abilities and unique skills of both. In reconciliated understanding of the synergies of cooperative utilization of the specialities of both, we may be able to form strong societies. This is not a literal value judgement, it is a sentence of guidance and directive so as to assist you with your own internal affairs. ~♤~ If we want to see it from my perspective, 'Superiority' begins in the air. Own the air, own the battlegrounds. Without air superiority, there is little to no chance of dominance on the ground. If ground dominance is held without accompanying air dominance, it will soon likely be lost. Much influence & power is often able to be exerted upon exposed ground forces from a position of aerial control. This is where 'superiority' somes into play. Do not get lost in fantastical ideas of biological sex superiority, or anything of the like. -

Sitting Bull knew who he was dealing with when the Empire Arrived at Turtle Island. What you see today in America is a continuation of what Europe was dealing with Sitting Bull quote: Hear me people: We have now to deal with another... https://share.google/U1vp3AcmcmUVHUF17 Not forgeting that Orignal Indigenous had no problems at all. The now called American Continent had their own sort of Domination, Astec Empire for example. But what came from the sea was something different. -
She is witnessing first hand the most advanced and interesting product in the world and she behaves very strange. Not interested at all, self absorbed, she asks stupid questions and somehow has a passive aggressive behavior the whole time. Can someone explain that?

Here is the exact same issue in more detail in the context of fine-tuning and resurrection (and I think the exact same issue comes up in the context of deciding between H1 and H2)

This is as how fear works, from my perspective. Keep in mind, this is a very rough sketch of ideas in order to get a larger, abstract idea across. This is a feeble attempt to communicate a specific realized sense. This is mostly trying to approach from an experiential perspective. Explaining Fear, Terror: Fear, Terror, and emotions along these lines, are some of the most constricting that seem to occur within human consciousness. Terror is like taking the boundless expanse of our awareness, and forcing it into an enclosed space of pinpoint pressure, where it must try to find release. Because of this enormous pressure, the release is typically found, often by a physical reaction, to evade, or fight the perceived threat. The other method is complete freezure, where the entire biological reaction system collapses and one is left immobilized. These are fight, flight, or fawn. Some creatures have fangs to fight with, some have wings to fly with, & some have camouflage to hide with. Perhaps the partial biological origin of these reactions. Fear, slipped out of control, is the cause of an overwhelm of our internal modulation abilities Upon the specific crossing of a certain threshold & degree of fear, it may turn exponential. This sends the human mind, & biological system into a sheer panic. This panic seems part of the method that the fear energy is attempted to be released, often driven directly toward the aim of searching for the survival route as quickly as possible, whether it be fight, flight, or fawn. But the human mind is largely, if not entirely, a closed circuit. The energy cannot escape very well through the method of cognitive emotional panic. It counterintuitively builds more momentum by running across these closed circuits. This causes short-circuits within the mind allowing for terror to truly constrict upon conscious awareness. An exponential tightening. Like this, Imagine as if an initiated supernova: As the star collapses inward, the density, and in turn gravity, increases. the pull inwards upon itself is multiplied by magnitude of exponents. This acceleration causes a close to sudden unstoppable implosion, where everything for a brief moment confines to a near pinpoint. The acceleration of this can happen in the snap of a mere second. The energy cannot hold here. Within fractions of an instant, must release, out into a spectacular– fiery energetic display. Out is catapulted an incredible amount of energy. It could not be contained within that single point it had been forced into. For the human, the energetic release does not happen in the form of a blinding flash. The release of this 'bound internal state', is where the physical reactions come of. Fear, a build up primal energy, can only be held for so long inside these closed circuits of the mind(in its maximum degree of possible sustainment, it is as the moment of total collapse for a star in supernova), almost inevitably it is expended through physical means. This is why a scared creature will fight so ferociously. A gazelle or rabbit, will endure miles of pursuit. The source of that energy is fear. Raw, unadulterated fear. Pure, primal drive to survive. But what makes this constricting? It constricts limited identified consciousness. It forces consciousness into such a tight space that it it must find release, guided specifically by the biological framework and survival needs of the particular creature through which it is filtered & directed. Fear is countered to the direct degree of ones ability to hold love. This is, love is the open, expansive emotion, in a total juxtaposition to fear. The things we find most fear in are conversely the things we find the least love in, during the precise moment of encountering. If a person fully loved an existential threat, and stopped in awe to admire the beauty during the moments of its approach, what would drive it to means of surviving the potential attack? Fear is what causes a limited identified consciousness to fight or flee of a perceived threat within it, through means of constriction & necessary release. What determines the variety of release is the biological framework through which sensory data is filtered, and the survival blueprints of that particular form. this is meant to be a rough outline. Like a scribbled sketch of a backyard shed in the making. -
Sounds like an intense experience An ontological shock can be very disorienting, I think this is what happened because you mentioned epistemology. In order to give some better advice, I need to know, do you want to ground yourself and come back to stability? Or do you want to explore deeper into the metaphysics of what happened to you?

I will move just a bit the topic here from sytemic structural to internal and personal. Not that the structural stop to exist but because is a interplay. This post here invites to inner self reflection. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYchECllGJp/?igsh=aXI5djczOGM3YTBk Here the concept of "otherness" is applied in relation to woman. Relational skill are a important part of all. Many indigenous leaders say we are not aliens from nature, we are nature. The issue is not a lack of connection with nature but the ways we relate with it, with all different forms that we consider not being "us" or in the post case " not being man" . Some people like the woman from the book "Breading Whitegrass" call, kinship, or more than human, in the case of wolfs,ants,bats,plants,water and anything that we say that is not human. So the topic of non-differentiation enters here as well. Read the instagram post first before reacting to this text otherwise your answer will be out of context. -
This is my major problem. A part of myself is too ethically minded and doesn't wanna do certain things. But at the same time, I want and need the money at this phase of my life so that later and even now, I don't have to submit myself to crap that would be directly damaging to me, or waste my time, or is both low conscious and low paying. We have to do so much shit to survive already, we might as well do in a way that pays well. BUT the trick here is to not become a consumerist zombie and use that wealth to buy expensive useless crap that will enslave you further with high lifestyle maintenance costs. We must use that extra money beyond survival to acquire safety. The ethical thing here, which is what many entrepreneurs do. They are just dedicated to using most of the money of profits just on the business, they are not going on a spending spree, they invest back into the business. There is a balance between getting wealth for the sake of acquiring freedom, paying with some of our high ethical values, so paradoxically, we end up less likely to get in shitty situations that we have to degrade ourselves as well, so it might end up backfiring on us, we will be so desperate out of survival pressure that it can be way worse for our level of development.

To assume that we are always blind and understand very little seems like the healthiest frame to come from, at least for me. I have seen many blind spots in myself and in many spiritual people and teachers. Things that may seem small, insignificant, or not worth mentioning can still lead to huge problems. It is often the small belief that seems innocent, the small thought that appears harmless and is 80% correct, that eventually harms us deeply. If we assume that we are not fully knowledgeable, that we have many blind spots because we have agendas, because we have selective focus, because we try to see only the good in what we stand for rather than being nuanced and recognizing that we might be wrong, we might be right, or we might be half wrong and half right, then we become more careful. There is no judge at the end of the day who can definitively say, “THIS IS RIGHT” or “THIS IS WRONG.” We are not in a courtroom; we are in a mysterious world with more mysteries than answers. If we cannot see the nuance, especially in our own thinking, then we become vulnerable to subtle traps, traps that even enlightened teachers can fall into. This happens no matter how advanced you are. You are still blind in many ways. You are still operating through this reptilian brain that seeks to optimize survival, and it does not hesitate to use spirituality to further its survival. In fact, spirituality can become a fantastic tool for it. The enemy is always wrong, but is that really true? If you are against Trump, is he always wrong? Of course not. There are good things Trump has done, but many people only want to see things from a black-and-white perspective. This is human nature. It is not necessarily something we can completely overcome, but rather something we should be aware of and careful with. Especially as a teacher, because power corrupts easily. Any form of power can corrupt you, and as a teacher or leader of any kind, you have a huge influence. Is that influence leading toward good or not? Many times, power leads to good outcomes for you personally, but that does not mean it leads to good outcomes holistically for everyone.

To be honest, I am grateful for Bryan Johnson. If he was conscious and more mentally healthy he wouldn't be doing what he is right now. If he doesn't do it, who will? He can single-handedly advance this field very fast. He is fulfilling a role which only a person with a very specific cocktail of fears and values can fill. I really don't see why people hate on this guy. Yeah he's got problems, but that is exactly why he will benefit society. It's a better use of his money than whatever Epstein was doing.

So for the past month, I have been socializing more, as spring got me more into a social mood. But gosh, all the social and human games are truly tiring. If you value honesty and truth, this is a nightmare. To be good socially, you almost have to let go of all your higher cognitive and spiritual development and turn primtive. The more primitive, the better (without breaking any laws). For example, never ever have any meaningful, logical conversations. Not with girls nor guys. This will not end in anything good. Always focus on bumping emotional state of people. This is key. The only issue is that, in order to bump the emotional state of others, you have to get more in touch of that part of your brain, yourself. Which is fun for a while, but tiring long-term as it is the less developed part of our brain. Don’t treat people with full-on love and empathy. Seduce them, make them chase for your validation, be somewhat mean and distant etc. This has become dramatically more harder for me as my empathy has increased. I just want to treat people like they are a part of me. People are so unconscious, that they are very gullible. As long as you seem confident and authoritative, they will trust you, and follow your lead to hell. Most people lack critical thinking, which is completely backwards and against everything we value here. And my whole being screams to encourage them to think for themselves, to stand up for yourself! But if I ever did that, all the social results I would have built up to that point with the person, would disappear into thin air. Being a mindless zombie is an addiction. Socializing is almost like a 9-5 job that you do out of necessity. You have to confine yourself into a much smaller version of who you really are. That being said, the other side of socializing is that you can also expand yourself: Especially in nightlife, you oftentimes can really just go wild and say and scream almost anything, as long as it comes across congruent, confident and in a playful manner. Such is the nature of bumping states. I guess I just wanted to share some of my thoughts from socializing the past month. It’s been lots of fun, but also very tiring as I have to go against a lot of the things that I value. Relationships with people in these scenes are not built on truth and honesty, but short-term states, seduction and lies. How sustainable can that be? And more importantly, how tiring is that to maintain the falsehood, as someone who values truth? I feel like for an ENF(J), it is harder than for an ENF(P), as I am very structured and future-orientated. Especially as I mature more. Being good socially requires you to be chaotic and short-term focused. My mind requires and looks for meaning to almost anything I do. If there is no long-term potential, then my mind naturally asks: What is the point? But don’t get me wrong, there is value to having fun in the moment. My mind is just not wired for it as much as other minds are. My more mature ENFJ mind also seeks social harmony. I would just love to make everyone feel good and at peace, and shower everyone with warmth, compassion, empathy and love — but all these would be immediately punished. It’s awful. It’s truly a wild jungle out there. Instead of men physically fighting over girls, we fight emotionally. We are not much different to animals.

Yes it's true that introverts are, because it has to take your mind from a highly focused state of mind on your interests into this defused thinking mode, and having to be in environments where your brain feels hyper stimulated or not completely in the zone. Interacting with most woman is also very flimsy, they sort of just get carried by the social wind and it can be hard to get and keep their attention. I know it's not an excuse to say the reality/truth of something. Which means, we have to be even more persistent and strategic in how we go about doing it. Socializing with women is an emotional thing plus some creativity and sharp attention to inhabiting their social world. And actually, being more tuned to our feelings is part of high quality spirituality. Which is something we already need to not be with that autistic buzzing inside of our heads of all our intellectual stuff, goal pursuits, the struggles we have in life, etc. Chilling out with women should be coming out of that lonely constant mental buzz. At least how I feel, but it becomes also another mental buzz quickly. Like getting addicted to picking up different women, fear of settling down, or settling down to a bad chick due to fear. It just kinda sucks going through the motions of over and over again getting conversations nowhere, it so mentally disruptive to my flow state in getting my stuff done. The problem here is not the woman, the problem here that we don't wanna pay the price of having our comfort zone disrupted emotionally. Is it that we don't want to get our flow state disrupted?

I wont say you fucked up because you learned an important lesson which looks like you probably took too much. I've been there. It aint pretty. My advice would be to either stop entirely or start lower and gradually increase your doses until you find that sweet spot.
