These videos below are a more accurate description of what a "younger" Christian church looks like in 2022: White, Black, Asian etc. Christians worshipping together like one family. The "white is better" Christian churches you are referring to are decreasing in numbers amongst Millenials and Gen Z. This is why white Christians might vote either Republican and Democrat. You can't assume they will always vote Republican - especially Millenial and Gen Z white Christians.

The Daily Wire is Stage Orange, in my opinion. I am very surprised by the success of "The Comments Section with Brett Cooper". I thought they would never pull off targetting to Gen Z but her channel is blowing up more and more every day.

I agree. Teal just takes on a very unique approach of saying "having our needs met by others, is having our needs met by ourselves".

This is a tricky topic with Teal Swan. She is actively against hyper independence in the spiritual community. Teal doesn't like the whole "All I need is myself" mentality in spiritual circles. Her teachings encourage emotional dependency on others. In my opinion, emotional dependency causes you to need another person in order to feel peace within. Without their support, you are emotionally starving and start acting manic.......which can be seen from the documentary. But I also understand where she is coming from. If there is no seperation, and there is no self and there is no other...... then our division between "my love" and "their love" collapses. It seems like her shadow work integration and non-duality integration is strong. But her awareness vs. object integration (stuff Rupert Spira teaches) is weak. With awareness vs. object integration, emotional dependency will literally turn off. She is also weak in the metaphysical stuff that Neville Goddard teaches on imagination. Because this also shuts emotional dependency off. Some videos where Teal promotes dependency: Video teaching that you need external love from others: Video on "Using People" to Get your needs met: Video on "Resourcing People" in order to get our needs met: Video on how wanting to be alone is often unhealthy: Video against hyper individuality in the spiritual community: Video on the trap of spiritual teachers attempting to transcend their humanity (which I respect her take):

1. Law of Attraction/Law of Assumption does not prepare people for death. The Law of Attraction/Law of Assumption ignores death almost entirely. They are a denial that "bad things" DO happen...and WILL happen. It doesn't matter how great of a manifestor you are, the human body will most likely die. And the houses, money, and relationships that you manifested will change form one day. 2. The Radical Non-Duality community avoids seeing the Shadow of the psyche: The message of radical non-duality says that "it doesn't matter if there is an apparent person who is angry, bitter, dreaming or sees seperation etc. it's all the absolute. There is no one who is angry. There is no one who is bitter. There is no one who is dreaming. There is no one who feels seperate. It is all just happening. " In the satsangs, I sometimes see the teachers loosing patience with people, showing signs of narcissism and pride, pursung their own survival strategies and self security etc.. But according to radical non-duality.... you don't need to do any shadow work, heal anything or be aware of anything ..... because it's "all just happening. It's all the absolute." So anything goes. They mock spiritual practices and healing work while simultaneously saying "even shadow work is allowed, even healing is allowed, everything is allowed". In the Sam Harris interview, Jim Newman said that he gets mad at bad drivers on the road. And that anger still arises in him after liberation. But in my opinion, and I think Sam Harris' as well, this anger at bad drivers is conditioning that can be changed through spiritual practices and meditation .... so why not teach this as well? Why choose to live forever with the habit of anger at bad drivers? I can hear all of the typical non-duality responses in my head: "Conditioning is what arises in THIS for no one. There is no person to forgive. There is no right or wrong. There is no person to meditate. There is no one to teach. There is no do-er or choice. There is no time and no one who lives in time. Habits just arise in this for no one, there is no one who has a habit. There is no habit. There is just this. There is no anger. Anger is just a concept. There are no drivers." haha 3.Saying positive affirmations are still ego and puffing up of the self image. Anything that you add after I AM __________ and I HAVE ____________ is puffing up the self image. It doesn't matter how positive it is. - I am awareness- adding to the self image - I am consciousness - adding to the self image - I am God - adding to the self image - I have a beautiful new house - adding to the self image - I am a good person - adding to the self image - I have amazing friends - adding to the self image - I am happy - adding to the self image - I have a high vibration - adding to the self image 4. When people are spiritual bypassing, it's not always the kindest thing to force them into seeing their shadows. Sometimes spiritual bypassing is what they need at that time. Which kind of contradicts with my #2. haha Shadow work is an endless pile of digging into crap. And so I think there should be more compassion for people who spiritually bypass. People are spiritually bypasing because shadow work is painful and seemingly unending. Sometimes people just want to fall asleep in the boat of heaven.... even if there are holes all over the boat. 5. Western teachers often grab some parts of the Eastern teaching and then combine it with Western values It's not that Eastern teachings are untouchable. It's just that our western versions are not always an improvement on them. Instead of trying to focus on "what is true?" we often focus on "how to make this relatable to people?" and relatable is not always synonymous with truth.

It doesn't matter. Heaven will be there when you are single. And heaven will be there if you decide to become a spouse and parent. Regardless of what you choose, heaven will be there.

I don't think this is more twisted. I think this is actually "playing it safe" so you don't scare yourself too much.

Brutal love , to me, is when I first realized that the mind can't own love or any other positiive attribute. It's not "my" love or "your" love. Same thing with owning any other positive attributes. "My kindness" or "My compassion" or "My happiness" or "My high vibration" completely drops. That's when things start getting scary haha

You are whole and complete, right now. With or without the course. The anxiety and fear of abandonment is not being caused from Leo. The fear of abandonment is coming from the belief that "I am incomplete and I need to find my fullfillment in the external world."

The problem is that you think these statements above are true. And then you are projecting these statements unto life as ultimate truth.

It is common for spiritual teachers to slow down .... with "illusion killing" haha when they receive feedback that their students can't handle it. Adyashanti, Jeff Foster, Lisa Cairns , Scott Kiloby and Teal Swan are other teachers who seemed to have done this.

Affirmations are like a mental pencil that design a self image. So it depends on what your ultimate goal is. Are you trying to build up a self image or knock the self image down? If you are trying to build up your self image, then affirmations can be powerful for that. But if you are trying to knock down the self image, affirmations are a waste of time because no affirmation (positive or negative) is what you truly are.

This is what is driving people into madness.

Personal development is a hamster wheel if your end result is: - becoming whole - becoming loved - becoming worthy - having more value You ALREADY are whole, loved, and worthy. And your value doesn't increase or decrease with what you do. Achieving things doesn't increase your worthiness, value or lovability. Those things were innate since the day you were born.

Bernadette Robert's no-self books are both terrifying and wonderful.

This a beautiful post Preety.

The non-dualists are saying: "Spiritual bypassing doesn't exist ." The shadow workers are saying: "Spiritual bypassing is wrong and you need to stop doing it.". But there is also a viewpoint of, "Spiritual bypassing is okay to do, sometimes": This is a quote that Matt Khan posted on Facebook on Spiritual Bypassing that takes this 3rd stance. "Anyone accusing you of spiritual bypassing is using their judgments, assumptions, and projections of you to overlook their next humbling moment of inner growth, in favor of maintaining a false sense of superiority. No one can tell you when, if, and how you are bypassing. How you process life is unique and different to how others may assimilate it. In reality, there are simply moments in time when you are ready to face deeper feelings and other moments when they aren't quite ready to be felt at full potency. The fact that someone else can sense what may be faced sometime in the near future, doesn’t mean you are avoiding it by not processing it now. This means everything gets faced and felt the moment it is meant to be explored. When its time to feel it, there’s no way to avoid, ignore, or bypass what’s ready to arise. This post isn't against spiritual bypassing as a concept, but shining a light on the way it is so often used to disempower others in the name of clarity" And a video from Perception Trainers that takes this 3rd stance: This 3rd stance is the most compassionate, in my opinion.

Neville Goddard's work is really good. Especially if you remove it from the "manifestation lens" and see it as a general way of understanding psychology and relating.

What if YOU don't exist either?

Andreas Müller often has free talks 3 times a week. He is German. https://thetimelesswonder.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDHF50UGsuhC_oVDJXCC5Q

Lots of good things are coming from Gen Z recently. They are challenging a lot of ways even Millennials have been doing things.

Well, Tarot Cards are giving advice to the ego. It's not non-duality. It's very much dream-illusion-time based. It's like positive affirmations, to me. It helps the ego live in the dream world.

Jeff Foster's entire Facebook archive

In a recent workshop, Teal Swan said something along the lines of "there is not a difference between receiving love from others and self love". Or something like that. haha And I think she hit the nail on the head. Ego transcendence work or self love work blossoms when it's done as a hobby. Instead of when you force yourself to do it.
