@ROOBIO Study the example of the late great Steve Irwin. He gave his life to promoting animal welfare.

It is a special kind of twisted devilry to promote animal welfare while calling for the extermination of Jews because they are varmints and cockroaches. Hitler also shot his dog.

Your question has a subtle duality as its premise. The "you" you're assuming in that question is the ego self. The ego is not the only one. That is the wrong you. The right you is God. God is the only thinker because it is all thinkers. Moreover, there is no difference between actuality and your imagination. So if you imagine there are others out there, that's what God creates. Since you are God. You are imagining the very world you interact with. You are like a paranoid madman. If you believe people are chasing after you, they are!

Again, causation is a dualistic notion. To have causation requires you divide the world into causes and effects (duality). To say there is no causation is the same as to say there is infinite causation, because zero and infinity are identical. Every object has an infinite chain of causes and an infnite chain of effects. Reality is an infnite fractal of cause and effect. Every point in the web is both the beginning, the center, and the end. Or you could say that everything is uncaused. It's the same thing.

Because people are selfish and helping animals is outside their circle of concern. It does not serve a human's survival to help animals. So they mostly don't. It's hard to care about animals when your belly is empty. We change this by raising collective consciousness. People only start caring about animals as beings at stage Green and above. Lower stages treat animals as walking resources.

You are all things at all times. You are incarnated as all living being simultaneously. There is nowhere to go because you already are everywhere and nowhere. THIS. IS. ETERNITY!

@krockerman Stop speculating and do the practices.

@SunnyNewDay Don't post that PragerU propaganda here.

I think it's great. Of course they have a lot more growing to do in other areas, but hey, they're growing pretty quick for the Middle East. You gotta keep in mind that all growth is relative to one's starting point and geographic & historical situation. It is incorrect to judge Dubai by American or European standards. When you compare Dubai to Iraq or Saudi Arabia you see how great it is. When judging countries the key is less-so judging their absolute position but their rate of growth and willingness to change. One of the biggest problems in America is that our system has become so stubborn and resistant to change.

He's critical of Green from above. And he's mostly talking about Green as it crops up in academia. I think the thing he's overlooking is that our national politics is nowhere near as advanced as academia politics. So while it makes sense to criticize Green academia from above, this creates confusion if people try to apply this more broadly to our national discourse. The national discourse is so regressive that it's got miles to go before it reaches solid Green. By over focusing on criticism of Green Ken might inadvertently play right into the hands of the status quo and the right-wing. It's important to not draw a false equivalency between stuff like Fox News and excesses of academia. Whatever criticism academia deserves, stuff like Fox News deserves x10 more.

You guys have been so spoiled with free Actualized videos Of course paying 22k seems absurd now! Lol

Maybe we should. I kinda like the sound of "Society, Environment, Politics" And then those of you who aren't interested in that topic would see less of those threads in the Self-Actualization and Spirituality sub-forums. I wonder if there's a conscious society/politics forum anywhere on the web.

That's not a good method. Pick one of the following: 1) Read your script word for word while your video shows various related imagery, not your face. 2) Show your face but speak without a script. Speak naturally, the way you would to a friend. You could have an short outline of your key points just to keep you on track.

This is good. But also, some girls need Words of Affection. Read the book: The 5 Love Languages. Learn to do Words of Affection because this is the top love language for many girls.

This is a problem on its own which needs to be resolved anyhow. What is the point of doing a job that a donkey could do? The whole point of machines and AI is free humans to be their most creative and artistic. But being creative and artistic requires serious development, sense of life purpose, and vision. Worrying about how to keep humans doing donkey-jobs is a disservice to humans. Show humans how to be fully human. I don't see a serious AI coming online within the next 100 years. Nothing that could rival a human's creativity or intelligence. There will be many AIs who are good at crunching big data sets and doing very narrow task extremely well. But this is not a rival to human creativity, vision, wisdom, leadership, consciousness, and love. - - - - - - Humans and AI can work wonderfully together, leveraging each others strengths and compensating for each others weaknesses. Think of Data from Star Trek.

@nowimhere All this has been discussed to death in the Kriya Yoga Mega-Thread.

What you're probably looking for is Transpersonal Psychology. A few universities offer it. Like this: https://www.sofia.edu/psychology/matp/

@nowimhere Try Kriya yoga.

An unconscious student mistakes a guru's consciousness for unconsciousness.

All things are imagined in the now. Welcome to the Mind of God.

Its full power really shines on a week-long retreat. Kinda tedious though.

The alt-lite and alt-right YT rabbit hole is well documented to radicalize young white males. Young white men who resonate with JP's victim complex will definitely be suseptible to alt-right ideology. He is unwittingly helping to radicalize people against liberals, progressives, women, social democrats, and LGBTQ. PragerU and FoxNews are right wing propaganda channels, and he appears in their videos. Like Trump, he knows not what his words are doing. The alt-right desperately needs intellectuals and academics to give them an air of credibility. He fits that role. He is a fool's idea of an intellectual, just like Trump is a fool's idea of a rich person.

No they won't. This is a myth. The US used to have a 75%+ tax rate for rich people. You cannot currently move away from IRS taxation. If you are a US citizen even if you move overseas you still owe the IRS money. You can't just do a bunch of business in the US while living offshore as a citizen and not pay taxes. Not to mention that most desirable countries have fairly high taxes.
