@d0ornokey Who would of guessed humans don't like uncertainty. Don't lose your shit but don't be so dismissive either. You are right it's non-ionizing raditation. There are some studies that shows it may affect human health to some degree. But it was a rodent test so it's pretty wishy washy. To me it's a maybe but probably not.

Radio Frequencies. The claims hinge on RF radiation. The high frequency requiring more towers and so more people are closer to the source of the frequencies. Which the radiation dissipates with distance. So the exposure is much higher. Although the RF radiation is so low in general that it having any long term effects is unknown. There were some studies on 2g and 3g on rodents. Wouldn't call it harmless but there's no definite conclusion.

@Flatworld Crusades Godspeed, friend. ?

Not sure what you mean by the first question. Are you referring to the origins on how one might start going more inward? You know those "I'm the most enlightened and knowledgeable" "no I am" kind of discussions desperate to prove they are right? Like that ? Of course none of these are rules. A woman can be more masculine and a man more feminine etc. There is a wonderful post about this duality by Smika if you'd like to read: (links to wrong comment but you can find it scrolling up lol oops)

Sure. To over simplify things I see masculine as external and feminine as internal. Spirituality being more about going inward into the self seems feminine. Of course it can become a tool of the masculine for competition sake.

@Truth Addict Thanks for putting that in my awareness! ?

Both? ?

@Flatworld Crusades appreciate your replies! Perhaps discussions about teachers who have more feminine approaches would help. There were a few listed on the other thread I believe. I already see spirituality in of itself a very feminine thing so this is a question I'd have to think hard on. The dating section could probably include more discussions of the female side of things on top of female sexuality.

I'm very interested in how we identify as male or female then turn it into something very polarizing. Clinging to the identities. Which makes any sort of leaning problematic. Correct me if I am wrong but from what I have read, the women that are here are just very hesitant to post. Men can be very outward and assertive. Women really don't like to reciprocate the more competitive nature of men. The rest is up to Leo's more masculine teaching style. Do you think men will generally stay out of more feminine esque topics? I don't mean to derail! I just saw this as some relevant context/discussion to the topic at hand. I'd like a better understanding of this dynamic.

Correct. The ego only wants to adapt when it is forced to. Yet we have the power to accelerate this process. Fantastic!

Sure. But our roots to want to get a mate to procreate and seek love runs deep. It will take a shit ton of work to rewire things and it only gets harder the deeper the drive is. Impossible, no.

@Flatworld Crusades What is going on that makes you want to be active in adding more females to the forum? And if you want to do this, it might be helpful to draw distinctions. People still ask about masculine and feminine energies here so it can be confusing when you try to conceptualize it. So what makes something of a female nature?

Interpretation given by instinct. Interesting.

Interesting how such a seemingly straightforward topic gets dragged out for 8 pages

I am backing out of all the theorizing to because it's not too helpful to someone who doesn't actually know what is being pointed to. Infinity can be conveyed in many ways which is why I say don't cling to any specific model too much. People do know the specifics but the specifics are behind experience and get translated into mental models. The specifics are pre-language. Pre-thought. So you really are gonna have to experience infinity to some degree to see why what is being said is being said. Saying you are infinite and God and limitless is much more profound than what language could ever convey. They are just some of the closest concepts to it.

Be careful not to confuse the map for the territory. Right now we are discussing a proper model but when infinity is said there is an experience behind it that is mind shattering. You could theorize all day about it. You are correct. The more awareness you get over the ego the less it'll be scary. For the ego to not take on the identity as consciousness but to actually deconstruct that identity.

Does somebody who has no concept of language think? Does thought require language?

Sure. It's kind of like multiverse theory. What happens if you collapse the order-chaos duality? ?

Infinity is not infinity without constraints. Yet is also unconstrained. The observance of constraint though is more a mental model to point out a pattern though than some impossibility for God. But taking Leo's word for it is something you should most definitely NOT do. Leo's knowledge of the absolute is and will never be complete. I've only had glimpses of infinity.

The pursuit of spiritual knowledge often means straying away from your usual egoic desires. This can often create an association of them being seen as bad. Since spirituality is seen as superior. It takes a lot of awareness to not demonize egoic desires. All a part of the journey though. Craft the life you want. No matter what you do, ego is going to be involved to some degree. It's part of being human. But you can be aware of when you are acting with ego. ?

Saying one thing doesn't make the opposite false in this work. When you speak of the absolute you can only highlight one facet of it. The flip flops you are seeing may just been him working on different facets of truth. Paradoxes run deep here.

That's your ego freaking out. Your ego won't be the one to experience it. Your ego is responsible for experiencing the human that you are right now. Would you be so against suffering if it was something you enjoyed or didn't care for? Probably not. Consciousness loves it all. Your ego is identifying as all and therefore is acting as if the ego will experience and remember all. It won't. You're probably gonna need to go deeper to get a better grasp on the connection between separation and oneness.

Do your usual personal development work then come back to psychedelics if you'd like to ease into it. Otherwise you are going to have to ignore the strong impulse of the mind to maintain its self image and go head on. Which the latter isn't for everyone.

What your saying is tricky because just because you haven't been exposed to a lot of it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't prominent around the world. The way they gather together on the internet, they have made some serious allegations and ruined lives due to colleges and industries like game dev appealing to them. They seem to hover mainly around Twitter and Tumblr. I see them pretty often even just by browsing Facebook. It really depends on the communities you are exposed to. I live in a very conservative christian area so I won't see them much in my actual area. On top of living in a small town. My friend who moved to Washington encounters them pretty often though. Not to say Red Pill guys aren't a problem. My reply was to CreamCat's 'feminists need love'

I see. Thanks!
