What behaviors of theirs created acceptance within you?

What did they actually do to make you feel acceptance?

List actual micro things they did to make you feel loved.

@Mulky Great! Thanks

Analyze the love retrospectively. More details. This is too vague.

The biggest downside and deal-breaker for me is that you can't flip through a book and find the sections you need.

I'm not trying to save the world. I'm not trying to save mankind from self-destruction. Yes, and good for him. I'm just saying it won't save the world. If he enjoys what he does, no problem. Yes, exactly. And I don't think Ken Wilber's work is gonna save the world either. I don't have contempt for him. I admire his work. I just said it won't save the world and it is not politically practical. You can talk endlessly about Game B, but our world runs on Game A, and it will run that way for the next 100 years at least. My point here is not contempt but to add some realism to the discussion. It's easy to get seduced and deluded into this Wilberian futurism where the whole world wakes up to Tier 2. That's not going to happen.

Murder is a relative concept invented by man. What counts as murder is whatever we say.

Society has had vaccine mandates for 200+ years. Nothing new here. Abortions do not go viral.

I'll consider that. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

No different than it's always been. Schmachtenberger's approach is like giving a college lecture on the deck of the sinking Titanic. His heart is in the right place but it's not a realistic political solution. Be ware of idiot compassion.

Well, that's what my judgment was based on.

Schmachtenberger is a smart guy. I like the way he thinks. But his whole job is sorta irrelevant because mankind is not going to kill itself and even if it is, Schmachtenberger's work will not prevent it.

I am skeptical that this adds any value to this community. But let's see what people think.

I listened to it. It's standard neo-Advaita stuff. A great example of not God-realization.

The universe doesn't revolve around the desires of your ego.

Who said? How do you know that's true? What if you don't have to worry about that? What if your worry is just part of your selfishness? How about some faith that future generations can take care of themselves? Society is the best its ever been. The biggest problem future generations will have is being too spoiled by what we left behind for them.

It does little good to call reality a dream. The point is to be conscious of it. If it's just something you tell yourself verbally it's not helpful and perhaps even harmful because it contradicts your direct experience. Changing your consciousness is the point. If your consciousness isn't changing then it's all just hot air.

Why do you trust me? What if I am the Devil pointing you in the wrong direction? You're just going to believe me?

Hint: Jed McKenna is you

Mankind has been stupid for 10,000+ years. Hasn't stopped us yet. This planet will not run out of resources for a million years. There is no lack of resources. Stop worrying and go about your life.

You don't know that. If you did you wouldn't be asking me these questions. Be careful parroting ideas you have heard but are not directly conscious of. There is nothing I can tell you that will grant you the awakening you need to understand this issue.

@machiavelli It's very simple: Notice that you are right now imagining NDEs. The fundamental problem is that you are reading stuff, imagining stuff, and taking that as something which exists outside your imagination of it. You just gullibly read some NDE text and believe it is real. This is you dreaming. You aren't just dreaming these NDEs. You are even dreaming your biological birth and what you ate yesterday. It's all a dream. You are not ready to take responsibility for your dreaming. You keep looking for some external authority whom you could pin it on. You're not realizing that the only authority here is you. If you tell yourself that NDEs are real, then that becomes your dream and no one can tell you otherwise. If you tell yourself that you were born out of your mother, that becomes your reality. You can ask your mother all you want whether she gave birth to you, and it will not change a damn thing because you are so gullible you actually believe her words as if they have some absolute reality. You cannot realize what is real by asking people because asking them already assumes they are real, thus begging the question and trapping you inside your own dream. Awakening is a radical thing and most of you here are not mature enough to handle it.
