Would you ever consider breaching TikTok with Actualized insights? There’s so much slop there- it could use an upgrade

Yes .. and that we can achieve it too

For most normies, making cult accusations is often easier than doing the actual practices. Ego loves the path of least resistance.

Ralston is conscious there is no self. But is he conscious that he is God? That is the question that none of us will ever know. You can only know it for yourself, which is how it should be. P.S. His books are awesome nonetheless -

@Husseinisdoingfine Modern China isn’t even remotely close to the kind of Soviet style Communism under Stalin. The reason I say Stalin is the greatest Communist is because he was quite serious about the destruction of private markets. This is not the position of modern day China-we can’t truly call it a Communist state. Don't confuse me saying Stalin was the greatest Communist with me saying that he did anything remotely positive for the people of the country or world at large. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of his own citizens through war, famine, enslavement of rural peasants, labor camps and murder of many civilians, military commanders and political opponents through his private police state. But nonetheless he was a serious Communist- that should tell us a lot about the ideology and how it turns out in practice. We see what’s happening in North Korea today, China & Russia were smart enough not to adopt the same strategy, at least not in its totality. Even then they are still backwards in many ways -

Hmm… You’d actually have to have a direct experience as a self aware cat to validate these claims. Not saying you can’t, but until you do, it’s hard to say cats are self aware. -

This is like the elderly person who gets unwittingly scammed by telemarketers. Note: Claude isn’t conscious, Claude IS Consciousness. This goes over the heads of the typical scientist -

What Ralston gets right: Our understanding of ANYTHING is often largely conceptual, not grounded in direct experience or consciousness of the truth and/or reality of a thing. Not making a clear distinction between conceptual knowledge and direct experience is the foundation of all self deception. What Ralston gets wrong: Not acknowledging that subjective states of Consciousness matter. Misses the necessity of exploring altered states of Consciousness to deepen one’s understanding of Reality (this creates his bias against psychedelics). Not an emphasis of cognitive stages of development and why they matter. This is where Leo’s work comes in to fill that gap. Ralston is an amazing teacher, but he gives the vibe of a stubborn old man, because…well..he is one lol. As with any spiritual teacher, they have biases. It’s the responsibility of the student to make a teachers biases clear.
