This guy is not enlightened. He've had a "glimpse" and mistaken that for enlightenment. A somewhat common phenomenon, and I myself went through it a few years ago. This guy too

@DivineSoda we got are fair share of collective ignorence here as well. According to Hofstede's culrtural compass Sweden is the most feminine country in the world. And the way this manifests is complete lack of responsability, politically, collectively and individually, when REAL issues present themselves. Cause nothing REALLY bad could ever happen in Sweden in course! https://www.hofstede-insights.com/product/compare-countries/ Also, the assumption that Sweden has created the best welfere state like ever is deeply ingrained. But it's so suppressed and covered up with something I would call fake humbleness, which not always is a pretty sight.

I can somewhat relate to this guy. About four years ago I had a similar semi-awekening as this guy. I was in the same forced bliss-mode for about six months, and than I graudally became worse for about 18 months and that when I had my first real awekning after a super heavy LSD trip, and it was brutal. Three days of hell, crying, fear, horror shame, and mental, emotiinal and physical exhaustion. By far the worst experience of my life. But as mentioned above I hope he'll be alright and doesn't hurt himself.

Please, enlighten me!

Wow! being from Sweden, which is probably by far the most unpatriotic country in the world, this is quite shocking. Would you say that this standard all across the US, or just in some parts(the south for example)?

You might wanna question that assumption directly(Im not smart enough) with questions like: If that's 100 procent true, why is that bad? And what that mean to me? And then wait and see what answers might come up and then question those until you find the core of it's REALLY about.

You mean the ego lashes out against physical pain? Yeah, physical pain is a concept applied to particular sensations of which we are in strong resistence to.

Awakening is about transcendence and not physical death. Of course after an awakening your relationship to the concept of death might change dramatically, but it's not the same thing as physically die.

First you'd probably wanna make the distinction between relative truth and absolute truth. Relative truth and right is the same thing, at leastin my mind. For example 1+1=2, the grass is green, the capital of the US is Washington DC, and so on. The absolute truth is something completely different, and has nothing to do with knowledge. It's basically a state of not knowing.

Alex Vitale, professor in sociology, argues that a lot of modern policing can be replaced by social workers. Is it reasonable that police are first responders to social issues which they are not trained for? Mental health issues? Suicide attempts? Cats in trees? Victims of crime, whose immidiate need is emotional support, rather than giving descriptions of perpetrators?

I can relate so much to this. I cherrypicked spiritual truths from actualized.org videos, than formed an ideology around that. So I stopped watch actualized.org videos and started watch Teal Swan and got in the work of Peter Ralston. It worked like a "deprogramming". Leos interviews with Peter Ralston is a great introduction to his spiritual teaching which really amazing. He is very careful about how he expresses himself so that dogma of his teachings will not be created.

Emotions maybe? Physical sensations?

By becoming concsious of the state of self doubt, being present with the self doubt, than the doubting subsides because thats the very thing that you can't doubt. You can doubt yourself, you can doubt others but you can't doubt doubting.

Very true. What I really meant to say was "potentially outsourcing SOME police work to social workers". It needs to be done methodically of course. And carefully evaluating social issues that policing is applied to.

The whole police force can't probably be dismanteled, but a lot of it can. The best way would probably be starting with the obvious ones(mental health issues, suicide attempts etc.) and then a gradual step by step process of removing responsabilities from police to social workers(for example). And for those issues that only the police can solve, will stay with the police.

Documentaries that I've watch recently and highly recommend. They all reveal and highlight deep systemic provlems withs the criminal justice system * Who killed Malcolm x * The innocence files - about "The Innocence Project", an organisation that helps wrongly convicted. * The confession tapes - * Trial by media * Time: The Kalief Browder story - About a kid who was completely fucked by the system. Left me with rage and sadness.

A very yellow perspective on defunding policing, sociology professor Alex Vitale. Clear, concise and practical.

This video gives some indication on whats to come.

you're probably right about the corporation thing. What I'm suggesting is that the workforce for those corporations will be freelancers. More flexibility, more creative freedom. You can more easliy explore different industries(potenially). What are FANG corps btw?

According to Said Dawlabani the future of the work force will be freelancing. He mentions Airbnb och Uber as strong indication to what the future will hold. What are your thoughts on this and on what other industries would look like if fully "freelancified"? * food insustry * resturant industry * media * education

I've struggled a lot with the same thing last couple of years, so I can really relate. What got me out of that pattern, almost at least, was when I dove in to the work of Peter Ralston. And there's and amazing concept in his book Pursuing Consciousness, "letting go rather than attaining", and it kind of "clicked for me". And from that point I "simply" started to let go rather than trying to come up with new ideas to fulfill or achieve(no point since inspiration tend to die so quickly). Now it's almost like "letting go" has become "the project". Also what helped me alot when it comes to Spiral Dynamics, reading up on all the lower stages as well. We tend to put all of our focus on mostly orange and green, and some blue. But we also has a lot to integrate from the lower stages, much more than we think. At least in my experience. Great site to read up on the lowest stages(higher as well) http://spiraldynamicsintegral.nl/

Sweden is definately not the Utopia it sometime is being portrayed as. We have something called Jante Law which is basically norms to follow. It's blue value system which is so subtle and slippery, but very effective. We are the crabs of all crabs.(if you have bucket of crabs and one tries to escape the other ones will drag it down) Good walfare system on the one hand, but if you want to go against the grain prepare for serious social repercussions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

When green awakened a lot more women enter the work force resulting in children coming home to an empty house while both parents worked.

As humanity transcend into the age of information "left" and "right" will become less relevent.
