It's much worse than illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants don't try to grab land for their native country. It's a deliberate weaponization of immigration, with military, financial, and political support from the state. Imagine if the American government paid 500,000 US citizens to move south of the border, build little cities, and then build exclusive super highways back to the US. And then the US military patrolled those highways shooting any Mexicans who protested and bulldozed their houses. It's like a growing fungus.

He's def more conscious. But that has little to do with how a large organization of people operates. Sadhguru could be the most conscious dude on the planet and his followers could still be raping kids behind closed doors.

Some higher aspects of reality cannot be thought of in an explicit concrete scientific manner, but can be thought of in a more loose, indirect manner.

Sadhguru's minions are def brainwashed, but that's what they signed up for and that's par for the course in India. The whole of India is brainwashed with Hindu spiritual dogma. Becoming a monk is an intense life choice. Obviously not right for most people.

PM is more correct than say a religious fundamentalist who reads the Bible literally and thinks his interpretation is the only objectively valid one. Or a scientist who thinks that science is the best and most objective way to see reality. That's what PM is pointing out as a mistake.

What's unhealthy for society is denying the obvious psychological differences between men and women. When I say man, what I really mean is masculine. If a man is not masculine then what I say doesn't apply. Just because there are feminine men doesn't touch my point. The meta problem here is that people don't understand the proper and important function of generalizations. You tell a stage Green a valid generalization and they instictively try to hairsplit it to death to satisfy their political social justice agenda and worldview.

Sounds like a tempest in a teapot.

It's hard to articulate since it is oblique.

Watch this: Now ask yourself, Does the Fossa logically know how it selects mates? It has no idea. But it is very good at it nonetheless.

Your survival is not logical. You don't know you're doing it, you're just living. There is enormous intelligence in how women screen out low value men. And it's all instinctive and unconscious, such that you'd have to study it for years like a zoologist to see it.

That's not a bug, that's a feature. That's how women screen out the weak men. They don't want to give weak men explicit signals or help in mating them. What you gotta understand is that women are not here to serve you. They are always doing what is best for them, not what you need. Don't try to change women, change how you see them. It is not a woman's job to help you have sex with her. Her job is to put up obstacles.

If you were a Zionist you'd be happy and self-righteous, patting yourself on the back.

She makes plenty of high quality and wise posts on this forum. She just has a different perspective than you. Why make it personal?

Tone it down a bit, please. Being this aggressive hurts your arguments.

That's why we have reincarnation

The point is that your understanding of what I say is always mediated by your interpretations and needs. Even if there is such a thing as what I mean, you will never know it for sure. What PM is pointing out is the foolishness of people who naively go around thinking they understand the original intent of authors, as if this is some objective scientific thing.

It's not a fallacy. That's the distinction between masculine and feminine modes. People have stopped understanding what masculine and feminine means. This doesn't mean that women never use logic and it doesn't mean that men are perfectly logical, or that the logic isn't a gross distortion of reality.

It's a general pattern, not an absolute.

Sorry man. Hopefully Biden will give you guys some federal aid money to rebuild. I expect him to announce that.

Trump is more emotionally unhinged than Kamala.

No, it's practicing Imagination.

Look at it like this: Is color knowledge? Is color insight? No. Color is more fundamental than both. So clearly we got some very fundamental stuff going on even without any crazy mystical mumbo-jumbo.

I'm working on it. Should be too long.

Insight is deeper than you give it credit for. You are assuming you understand what insight is, which is not a safe assumption. Consciousnes is even more fundamental than insight, although insight is more fundamental the knowledge. Insight is an aspect of Awakening but not the whole of it. Awakened consciousness is the basis for the insight of awakening. Consciousness awakens first, then insight catches up, or it could work the other way too. Awakening comes with insight but it's the same as insight. How is anything possible?

It's better to phrase it as realizing that reality is Consciousness/Mind. The world is actually a cosmic mind, forever dreaming, like a mad artist lost in an opium den. It can dream anything. This realization is more than knowledge, it's your state of being. It's your condition. You are a dream. Being in a dream is beyond any knowledge of the dream's content. "Knowledge" itself is a dream. You are dreaming knowledge, which is why knowledge is fallible and partial. Before there can be any knowledge, there must first be a dream about which to have knowledge. So dreaming is more fundamental than knowledge. Awakening is not about changing your knowledge, it's about seeing the dream as a dream. Which is why no amount of knowledge can awaken you.
