Prescription antibiotics are awful. Avoid at all costs unless it's a last resort. Always try natural antibiotics first.

That is correct. Spiral Dynamics is not a spiritually advanced model. When it comes to spirituality and awakening you just gotta drop Spiral Dynamics. Otherwise you will create more confusion than clarity.

Who ever said otherwise?

Lol, that's everywhere.

You are seriously confusing Turquoise and Spiral Dynamics with mysticism and nonduality. That's not how the model works.

No It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that you should think real hard before justifying your arbitrary moral laws. If you realized that your moral laws are arbitrary and biased you would stop being so attached to them. Roe v Wade struck a reasonable and healthy balance for how to handle abortions. Now that balance has been up-ended on dogmatic moralistic grounds.

Not good enough

Definitely BS His advice is not bad for getting laid, but you're still gonna have to do 1000s of approaches to get good at it. There is no magic pill for getting good with girls. It requires years of training.

I meant green in terms of trees and vegetation. Although the culture of Austin is very stage Green.

Way too idealistic. No we aren't and by the time we run out of oil we will have better energy sources. Energy on this planet is practically infinite. Meh, they can be cleaned and resorted. A bit, but it can be resorted. That's easy to solve. The Earth basically has infinite water.

Most people simply have no clue about public policy or governance. They don't know and don't care. They are bated into political activism by the culture wars, ideology, and tribalism. If you ask most people who the Vice President is, they won't be able to tell you. It's just a fundamental level of ignorance and disinterest. These are the people who swing elections. They are profoundly uninformed and easily manipulated into voting in foolish ways. All of politics revolves around manipulating these people.

No, it's because people are too ignorant to understand the sources of corruption. MAGA people think that corruptions comes from Hollywood, pedophiles, socialists, and globalist Jews. Understanding the true source of corruption requires wisdom and intelligence. The whole point is that corruption obscures its own source. When you make a deal with the devil, you think the devil is the good guy.

@Benton Great!

Austin is not dry. It rains there a decent amount. It's pretty green there. One of the biggest downsides is that it's the middle of Texas. You're in the middle of cowboy redneck country.

It's called tinnitus. Fairly common on this forum. Meditation, spiritual work, and psychedelics can certainly cause it.

@Carl-Richard Try Allicin, it's a natural antibiotic made from garlic extract. People say it can help with ear infections, and really, any kind of bacterial infections.

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.
