Of course. Atheism is supposed to be a secular/rational stepping stone you can use to get into real Spirituality, for example without empiricism its hard to understand what direct experience means. Unfortunetaly some people get stuck in their Atheist phase thinking its the end of the road, there is so much more.

I disagree.

Haha, so true. However, Stoicism itself might have come from Hinduism and Buddhism, The Greco-Roman world had contact with them through their expansion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnosophists

No, youre projecting that I am projecting! Jk. Youre allowed to have an opinion.

Sigh, these Stage Orange rationalist takes are getting predictable...

Low hanging fruit??? The guy is literally giving you cutting edge wisdom that is super hard to find in mainstream society, be grateful, and he is sizing it down to 2 hour videos. If its low hanging thats because youre not implementing it or understanding the depth.

Mythology. You have to realize the culture around Jesus time was Purple/Red maybe a little Blue... Plus, keep in mind the game of telephone that the Bible has been through over 2000 years.

Okay, Im tired of this discussion, lets get back to the main point of this thread, I will keep contemplating this by myself.

Im not dismissing Emerald, shes brilliant, I like some of her videos, Im not attacking the person, only the ideas, and btw Im not saying shes Green, only that this concept seems to me to be a dogma thrown around by people in Stage Green.

All I have seen is woman behaving like people, some more energetic and some more reserved, it doesnt prove anything. I have met men who are reserved and men who are more outgoing. I didnt see or feel any energy, just different personalities. Are we talking about sexual attraction? What am I suppose to look for?

Im arguing that the idea of feminine or masculine energy is more of a construct than something we can actually observe. A buzzword people throw around without contemplating what it really means. Anyone who can somehow prove to me it is real gets a cookie. To me it seems like Stage Green dogma that has been overlooked.

I have met masculine women and feminine women. So that doesnt prove anything. Now youll say "Ah but they mustve had more male energy or not in been in touch with their feminine side" and so we go in a circle.

How? Okay so the energies are not really feminine or masculine... we just call them that? How do they create the female and male roles? Does a passive man have alot of female energy or a lack of masculine energy? Can we measure it? Sorry to sound so overly materialistic/rational but sometimes thats a tool thats useful. As a symbolic construct I can see its usefulness. But thats all I see it as now, a philosophical idea, like seeing the ocean as a deep and mysterious woman or something, lol.

Please provide me with an observable view of the Yin and Yang, that would be the discovery of the century. Im open to it. How do you know you experienced that? Are you sure? 50% 70% 99%? @Cykaaaa Thanks for your reply, guess Im somewhat satisified with that, or just tired of talking about it. whatever works for people I guess.

But why feel the need to divide your personality into two? Why are you "feminine" when you dive into your feelings? Why cant you just own all your sides without making them feminine or masculine? This I dont get. When people say "feel into your feminine" it is almost as if they can accept this part of themselves as just... human... And not based on gender.

When it comes to attraction thats different, I agree that a huge amount of acting is necessary when it comes to dating. Im just saying realize that is what it is, posturing and acting to fit into cultural norms, just like how women will wear more make-up and a short skirt when they go on a date and not at home sitting on the sofa, eating potato chips.

Why do you assume being king of the world is masculine? Once again youre being deliberatly obscure by saying like the other guy "Its just exists". That doesnt cut the mustard. Why not let go of made up distinctions? Heres the real relative truth (lol). You are male. Thats it. Nothing more needed to add. No need to "act" masculine, keyword there is act, acting is inauthentic, just be you, without all the extra baggage, youll be happier and freer.

This is Stage Green at its most confrontational, I kind of understand where they are coming from but at the same time I think its making it worse not better, a softer more systemic Yellow approach would be better. But I also understand this is where we are as a society, unity vs division, were becoming extremely divided only to become more united in the next 50-100 years. If you can avoid being triggered or identifying too much with being male/white/western/hetero then this Green phase has alot of good meta points that are very useful, but most people arent that detached from their cultural identity, or mature.

I dont want to argue, I just see the words feminine and masculine energy being thrown around in New Age circles and the forum and nobody even questions if its actually real or just a buzzword. Where is this energy? Can we find it? Why is it anthropomorphized? Do animals have it too? Just asking yall to think twice about concepts you use. @The_Truth_Seeker That sounds like belief and dogma to me. "It just exists".

Prove it to me.

Im not even going that far. You calling one thing feminine and another masculine is causing you to get stuck in your development. Your mind is not free when its stuck in this made up black and white category.

There is no such thing as feminine or masculine energy. Its a made up construct.
