Trump confirms Charlie Kirk dead on Truth Social: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c206zm81z4gt?post=asset%3A7e2f698a-fcc0-41b0-84ac-b7e01c1d6d56#post -

People feel like they have no alternative. We live in a country where 77 million citizens casted a vote for this buffoon. That leaves a scar on democracy that will almost never heal (very, very challenging at best case). -
Better to frame it as there are multiple styles and approaches to truth. One approach is through the masculine, the other is feminine. Two different ships headed to the same island. Masculine is able to traverse certain terrains more easily than the feminine and vice versa. What is common is the desire and value of Truth to the individual captains onboard. Each will have to make sacrifices in their own unique way, that is inconvenient to both masculine survival and feminine survival.

Watch out for Ritchie Torres- he's a self proclaimed "Pro-Israel progressive" and Zionist (start at 41 mins): People like David Pakman are endorsing this guy as the face of Progressivism- which is joke. I love how Adam Friedland calls him out on his BS -

there are cases of weed expanding consciousness- so who's to say. Each mind is unique and sovereign to itself -

this is depressing stuff, is there even a such thing as independent journalism anymore? There's no more incentive .. At the bottom of the barrel of corruption lies profit motive -

@Carl-Richard may as well get used to it- it'll be legal globally sooner than later. Especially with dispensaries becoming the new cash cow as marijuana is going through mass commercialization. -

How can we be so sure though? -
@Leo Gura - please consider posting this on your blog: Good example of challenging belief systems and dogmas of your tribe/culture- have you seen her in Vegas?

Difference in that one is more aligned with empirical evidence and technological discovery? What is the distinguishing factor?

Isn’t this the same view that is leading to the erosion of democratic institutions in the US and globally? Most ignorant populist would share the same view (not calling you a populist Leo, you know how dumb they can be). But it sounds the same. Politics can be a dirty business, but how else do we change the world for the better than through the democratic process of electing officials? We should not demonize politics so much that it demotivates people-leaving the door wide open for autocrats and tyrants. It may already be too late to turn things around, our society lacks the education on how to use politics for the common good, probably bc they never cared to. -

Maybe bc we’ve misunderstood what going off the deep end really is. After all, how could we properly understand without going off the deep end ourselves? Not saying I’m for any of this insanity shit tho -
@Leo Gura On cosmic horror: Assumes one state beings of being has dominion over another due to sheer vastness . Assumes being that’s being dominated by the dominator being can never know that it’s being dominated. Assumes there are Infinite ways to be dominated at Infinite degrees of vastness. Is a Being/Mind ever truly sovereign given these assumptions (let’s just say they are true-hypothetically). Great thought provoking blog post!

Seems like a limiting take on reality.. to say reality is ONLY a thing, excludes a whole host of manifestations reality could take.. to be ONLY a thing Also note that it’s possible that your understanding of nothing can be largely conceptual, based on ideas, assumptions and beliefs. Do you really know what nothingness is? How would we know that you know? How would you know what we know? There is a lot being taken for granted. Solipsism is primarily a conceptual notion in the human mind. Our existence cannot be validated by anything outside of it, but we constantly make appeals to authority in an effort to find something out about why we exists as we do without the hard work of contemplation to gain insight into the nature of our existence. Humans have constructed the idea of solipsism and applied many negative connotations to it as a distraction to investigating what is True. -

God is also NOT nothingness. Stop dividing yourself -
Terell Kirby replied to Meeksauce's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Solipsism as humans understand it is largely conceptual. No one really knows what it means 😂 -
@Leo Gura so humans have some value, eh? Thanks for your contributions to the forum

Has anyone here experienced the same? If you had asked me if truth and understanding reality mattered before discovering Actualized.org in 2020 I would hardly understand what you are asking. I didn’t know such topics were of interest to me - I hear others saying they’ve always been interested in truth - maybe that was the case for me but I didn’t know it at first. Now I can’t stop obsessing over it- i can’t envision what life would be like without doing consciousness work and truth seeking

Getting lost in sex isn't the way, but also repression of sexual needs isn't either. Strike a middle way until you transcend the need for sex entirely, otherwise you end up using false notion of truth/spirituality to deny your sexual urges and become dysfunctional. Same thing with sexually repressed orthodox fundamentalist.

No one knows the answer to any of this .. but trust you will discover the answers for yourself. Godspeed -
What is your process for assessing what kinds of content are likely to be misunderstood? I don’t envy you- trying to teach what fake vs real spirituality is, what at the same time not giving the answer for what fake vs real spirituality is - is not easy feat. I intuit “real” spirituality is the process of admitting that I don’t know what it is, and going on a personal investigation to find out. Actualized.org is a great way to bootstrap, but it’s only part of the larger project.

Demonization coming from separation. Trump & Musk are indeed devils, but all devils are manifestations of God.

We can sometimes look down on religious people if you've developed yourself enough to see its limitations. At the end of day, what any human identifies as serves a specific niche in their survival programming, unique to each individual and the culture they grew up in. Some eventually transcend it as a result of higher consciousness, but even the ones that don't-it doesn't necessarily negate their inherent potential for higher intelligence. Cultural /societal programming can be a real and significant hurdle to reaching higher intelligence. Less about what that person identifies as, and more about what cultural and societal (maybe even genetic) factors that are limiting them transcending that identity.
