@Ethan1 Personally I don't know, as I'm not American, so Independence Day means little to me. However, I have had 4 years in the USA, and from an outsiders point of view, While America is a nice place to holiday and perhaps live for many years, the national days and reinforcement of those ideologies felt cultish to me at that time, even when I couldn't identify that feeling at that time. My simple take to resolve your questions, is to do what Leo suggests in both his recent video on not knowing, the contemplation videos and the letting go video. It's good to research and do constructions and learn from history, but important to let them go and deconstruct them, to not be a prisoner to one's concepts of reality. Detach from those ideas, so that you can free yourself a little bit more from the physical and mental steess of those ideas.

@Haribo That's called balance, or in other words the Yin-Yang symbol, the swirling balck and white but each one has a dot of it's opposite side. Balanced yet asymmetrical. That's why I can be loyal to both a meta system and a nation state, because I'm inside the nation state and grew up a bit inside my nation, yet during my upbringing I travelled to several countries that gave me complex layers of reality, both geographically and the exposure to otherness of people, which allowed me to intuit a meta system at play. And the balance is always shifting around, just like the Yin-Yang symbol has the tear dot shapes flowing together in a circle, one revolution the Yin symbol is on the top position, but another revolution the Yang is top, and each moment each positioning is slightly different and actively shifting, so if circumstances are right and my survival is threatened it's nation state over meta system, but if I'm very secure, it's meta system over nation state. The contradictions are a feature and not a bug in the system. I was also using Ken Wilbur's integral theory with spiral dynamics for the nuance. I repeat, some people are just capped at various development factors. I'm conservative, yet my worldly experiences has made me more developed than typical conservatives out there and in some cases liberal or progressive in certain policies. Are you just gonna throw the baby with the bath water, or try to be more nuanced and factor in the exceptions? Can you hold, in your mind, a saintly sinner? Also my political views and policies aren't conservative only as I have many different takes.

@Razard86 No, I just don't like users wasting time and derail this thread, but as OP said you've expanded on some point so I'll let this slide.

@Razard86 Enough is enough. I'm stopping this little exchange between us as it's derailing the thread and going nowhere with this discussion of who misquoted who, if you don't like my dialogue, fine, hit the ignore and avoid me. If you don't like me, great, ignore me. I'm ending it here because I've allowed myself to mud fight with the piggies, and it's not fair for the OP and does not set a good example for those who want to develop towards tier 2 cognition. Adios Amigo.

@Someone here Gotcha, Exams are the work of the devil

@Razard86 No, you stole those sentences from my post, and put me out of context, by misquoting me! Who are you to steal from others and claim them as your quotation?! I am following my advice, not you! I am defending myself from your misquoting me!

This is your quote. Are you going to deny you have misquoted me?

@Razard86 Let's start again, for clarity's sake. This was the post you quoted from which is mine. This is what you quoted from that post, with your name on top of it: @Razard86 said 'I ain't got time for that, as I'm busy with my life purpose, and so should you. Go work your LP instead of JP complaining.'. So, who's copying from whom again?

@Razard86 Ok. IS there anything you want to say to the OP directly regarding the thread topic?

@Revolutionary Think Cool you're a community leader in twitter, what is it?

@Someone here Yes, it actually is. Although it's not easy to get high on it as you got to ingest high amounts of Nutmeg for the high. Way better psychedelics than this.

@Razard86 No, it does matter that you've misquoted me. You can copy and paste what I wrote, but give proper credit to who has written those words, not replace my user name with yours. IRL, that's an act of false accusation you did to me, and if you chose to make a profit without crediting me, that's plagiarism, which means I have the legal right to sue you for defamation and lost profits. I am following my advice, to not only understand perspectives, but to develop mine over lesser minds than mine. I also am non judgmental and open minded despite my wording, my wording is intended to cause a self reflective reaction in you and other JP haters, to stimulate your intrapersonal intelligence such to catch how you bs yourself. I didn't give you orders like you were my mule, I gave you a suggestion as in you should probably work on your LP too, adding to that I sometimes DON'T LOG OUT, giving you a false impression of the length of time I'm in this website. No this is not my LP, my LP is an illustrator, I illustrate the dark parts of your psyche, so if you found this valuable and are triggered, follow the link, fork over a down payment of 20%, and for one week I make a dark image of you, if you like it pay the full price here http//blankcanvas.com, if not, no full price charge but the down payment is non refundable, also the Patreon link to donate for my financial independence http//Patreon.com/blackhag. Also I do NSFW, for a higher price too. hit the bell icon, leave a like and comment below and let me know if any of this makes sense in your sense making, and if you need further clarification, dm me and don't derail the thread. Have a good day.

@Razard86 How is this related to what OP wrote?

@Topspin715 I think the main deeper problem is more insidious than that: it's hidden left biases and this obsession with bashing Donald Trump by a few moderators here, the old generation of mods, like he's a Donald Duck whack a mole version for those with a seething hate to conservatives. It's quite unreal.

@BlueOak Are you new to the forum, or to social media?

@The_Searcher Yes, as the saying goes in investment, 'diversify your portfolio.'

@BlueOak Come on, I bet you can relate a bit, with those thread locks and warnings issued to you.

@AtheisticNonduality Rap God:

@Sine I'm sorry, but zen masters don't teach yoga, Yogis do.

@marinaaniram No, you're not dumb, that's natural to feel positive and negative emotions, like heart break. Allow yourself to feel and be in that state until you process those feelings. Unless it's very strong, go and seek some professional help like a relationship councilor or some other expert.

@Someone here I think you need to elaborate more on that statement 'when you're happy you can't sleep and sadness doesn't let you sleep', because it sounds to me you're making that happiness and sadness equal here. Why say happiness doesn't let you sleep, and then sadness doesn't let you sleep also, but then later on say that your days and moments in life past faster when happy, but not sad? Unless in the example of days going faster when happy, you meant to also say that when sad days go slower, right? Let's assume that's the case, so if that's the case, shouldn't you contrast happiness to sadness? Please explain in more detail if I'm wrong in my assumptions of what you're communicating here.

@Ulax Yes, it does take other skills, like being willing to manipulate communication.

@Razard86 Yes, I agree, it's profound to observe this level of ignorance to deny misquoting me, when it clearly shows your name in the quote box instead of mine, as if you said what I said, plagiarist. Again, as I said before, I sometimes don't log out, so it seems I'm here all day, but I actually working my LP more IRL, maybe re-read my posts again, for sake of clarity, harlot, before harping on me projecting on you when you're projecting much more on me.

@The_Searcher Hahaha, yes I noticed that anger too, kind of similar to how bitter Destiny was when he got banned too Most of those negatives from the left are coming from immature lefties really, those that mainly reside in social media sites.

@Haribo It'd possible to be conservative while being tier 2. It's just you're capped at other factors like stage of development, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, state of being, life experiences and other lines of development like close to open mindedness.
