I agree. The war of ideologies is an indication of an unbalanced society. I don’t even like spiral dynamics because it perpetuates the primary myth of Western culture: “progress”. I am gravitating towards shamanism – the pursuit of authentic, earth-centered, spiritual wisdom. The antidote for ideology is connection.

How can anyone assimilate his fast talking frenetic rambling about nothing significant? It’s like having junk food shoved down your throat at the speed of light. Contrast that with the slow thoughtful narratives of Alan Watts. Is this a change of culture, creating individuals who are more and more desperate to seek answers outside themselves? The crazy loud voice crushes the still small voice within – the source of authentic wisdom.

People project their personal preferences when they talk about age. My ex wife was 20 years younger than me. That's not a big deal in many countries.

I agree. But the only way a man will ever improve is by making those approaches. Although I don’t think the numbers are nearly as high as you estimated. You have time to do it. These fake gurus are not going to make it more efficient and they will actually just set you back and you will have less money to put into something more useful, like a dance instructor. That’s why this fraudulent marketing is successful. They are appealing to vulnerable men full of fear who aren’t willing to trust their own natural intelligence and want someone else to do it for them. But the helper helps himself to you.

I have found the most soulful people in ceremonies in Mexico. I have given up on the US. The fakery is too intense.

The marketing narrative is that you can develop skills that overcome looks, status, etc. That is a useful belief for buying their products. They will drain your bank account and you will still be faced with the reality. PUA is a scam.

What’s NOT Allowed: . Conspiracy theories (like Illuminati, Reptilians, 9/11 inside job, Flat Earth, Jews running the world, pedophilia rumors, etc) https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/

The takeaway I get from Jordan Peterson is that he is a clinical psychologist who has mastered his material, but yet is not able to solve his own problems and addictions, which shows the impotence of Western psychology and why, if you want to heal, you need to search elsewhere, starting with yourself.

There is a small voice inside you that has more wisdom than the external sources.

I have heard of malls banning PUA behavior. It is private property and the security guard can just kick you out.

This is why the authorities are starting to take notice and it is getting harder to approach women in public. I have a neighbor who is an older lady and likes to do this. She says things like “You are really a nice guy, it’s not true what everyone is saying about you.” I know she is trying to be funny, but it is still slightly irritating. Maybe I am too serious.

Capitalism is threatening the survival of Madre Tierra. Do you think it is a coincidence that a virus is now the problem? Viruses and living organisms have been coexisting in a dynamic equilibrium for billions of years.

Does discussining the capabilities of these youtube celebrities really do anyone any good? It’s all salesmenship and marketing to sell seminars at a premium price. It is now possible to use youtube to create a completely virtual reality. The fact is you have zero proof beyond the imaginary images created. And it focuses the attention away from you. I have some perspective on this because my wingman is a natural, and so I have some sense of what the real deal looks like. And from my perspective these youtube celebrities are selling snake oil. You are better off finding a friend that you can model. You can see the reality in front of your eyes, focus your business on yourself, and not be financially exploited.

I have stopped listening to all of these youtube Munchkins. The purpose of their videos is to sell you a seminar or other product, and then to continually upsell you. It has you going down yet another rabbit hole instead of healing. Youtube has become a big business.

Stanislav Grof claims that Holotropic Breathwork works because it activates your natural DMT.

I don’t see any intelligence in attacking Richard Dawkins. It sounds cultish. Dawkins is rightly showing the absurdity of destructive anthropomorphic dogmas that are strangling humanity. You have to blow up the old building before you lay a new foundation for the new building.

He didn’t mention specific names but generally referred to 1) “plantas medicinales de desintoxicación” (detoxificataion plants) and 2) “plantas de poder” (power plants). In the jungles, there are numerous powerful plant medicines that westerners haven’t even heard of. He said that in his training he forgot his name and past history. The plants possess you and become your teachers. He did mention one plant called “clave ayahuasca” which teaches you to lucid dream.

What does taking opiods have to do with psychedelics? Good grief. My Shaman overcame his drug addiction in the jungles of Peru. This included powerful plants to detoxify the body and mind before even using any visionary plant medicines. This is why I follow the Shamanic traditions and do most of my work in Mexico. Americans are arrogant and think they can just make it up as they go along. It is like someone who sticks a screwdriver in his ear and then says screwdrivers don’t work. He wouldn’t learn the proper use from an experienced carpenter.

I don’t think there will be any religious dogma again as totalitarian as Christianity was historically. There is too much information available and awareness of competing systems.

It does. Shinzen Young says that because of his meditation he was able to understand and teach himself mathematics and science. He says the greater focus ability of a meditator can be used to understand mathematics.

I don’t take LSD or MDMA for that very reason. I only take natural substances , mostly from plants, or Bufo from the toad. The plants are part of our evolutionary history. The plants are our ancestors. We have similar biologies that work together. Substances like ayahuasca have an incredibly powerful effect without doing harm or becoming addictive. I have talked to people who have been screwed up by taking MDMA.

Vernon Howard was a good spiritual teacher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeV8ZS9nhis

I go to ceremonies in Mexico and find them invaluable. The medicines are part of the culture of Mexico, and they understand them. I would never do a ceremony In the US, where it is not part of the culture. The ceremonies are conducted by real shamen interested in healing and not profit. I get as much medicine as I need. On my last niños santos (mushroom) ceremony, I took 6 grams. I have worked with ayahuasca, yopo, san pedro, niños santos, kambo, and bufo alvarius. The most valuable part is healing as a group during a ceremony, and meeting new friends face to face who are on the same path. I am not an incel and anonymous interactions in a virtual world does nothing for me.

When Covid-19 cases hit Brazil, the government ordered civilians to leave the Indigenous reservations. Many missionaries refused to leave and had to be ejected with a lawsuit. https://www.ncronline.org/news/earthbeat/missionaries-gain-access-amazons-indigenous-peoples-despite-pandemic The missionaries are also aggressively attempting to contact uncontacted tribes even though one case of Covid, or any of the other industrial society diseases could wipe out the whole tribe. “In a landmark ruling, a Brazilian judge has blocked evangelical missionaries from making contact with uncontacted tribes in the Javari Valley, home to the greatest concentration of such peoples anywhere on Earth. The judge stated in his ruling that “Uncontacted Indians are especially vulnerable… To make contact with them is hugely risky.” “ “Uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. Whole populations have been wiped out by diseases like the flu and measles to which they have no resistance, so attempting to contact such peoples during the coronavirus pandemic would almost certainly have been a death sentence for many.” https://www.survivalinternational.org/news/12377 The missionaries not only endanger lives, but destroy the natural spirituality of the people. There are reports that they actually compete to be the first person to contact a tribe, purely for the ego glory. Then when the missionaries are through, the land grabbers come in to take the land. “I’m not the only one who agrees with this sentiment. In the words of Kenyan activist Jomo Kenyatta: “When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” https://aninjusticemag.com/missionaries-are-evil-b8228a8c5ab The indigenous leaders want the community to be left alone. “In the meeting hall, Eliesio Marubo listened as the Indigenous leaders spoke, years of frustration pouring out. “The missionaries search for young people and corrupt them with their ideas,” said the representative of the Matses people. “When the missionaries wanted to enter our villages, we told them we wouldn’t change our culture,” said the Kanarami representative. “It would be better if they stayed in the cities,” said another leader.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/31/brazil-amazon-christian-missionary/

In my opinion, the real problem is the absolute greed and lust for power of the controlling hierarchy. If you follow the figures you will see that during this “pandemic” the wealth has continued to concentrate into a smaller number of hands. People are being divided into groups and given reasons to fight each other by the mass media, which distracts everyone from the concentration of wealth and power achieved through financial manipulation, not productivity.
