@Leo Gura the quote was deep, controversial, but deep nonetheless. It will take me a few weeks to contemplate it. I find myself becoming fearful whilst waking up to deeper corruptions within conventional social systems that ground society. Like, how am I supposed to even live a “human” life knowing corruption is at every turn? It’s not Iike I can unimagine my human-ness (deeper than that, I AM the one imagining it.) The saying ‘Ignorance is bliss’ couldn’t be more truer for me now. But I have faith/intuition that there are higher forms of bliss to discover on this journey, fully embracing varying degrees of existential crisis along the way is imperative at this point.

Mind of Dial Up (from a low perspective): "fiber? Sounds like a conspiracy, some woo woo nonsense! Must be a trans thing .. or maybe DEI bullshit".

Contemplating .. lower perspectives is basically a lower mind (or stems from lower mind). It helps me to use these interchangeably, also opens up the door to acknowledging how lower can develop to higher .. so as to not write lower off as forever doomed and dismiss it entirely. Thoughts? @Leo Gura & others

There is no distinction in the Absolute sense, but if you look at our current media and political ecosystems-you can clearly see the corruption that toxic ideology/perspective has had on the functioning of society at large, these ecosystems are largely unhealthy. Duality/distinction can help us separate healthy vs unhealthy in developing proper epistemology.

Wrote down full list of criteria of lower perspectives from video (included in attachment). I look forward to contemplating each of these, seems like its a critical/foundational exercise to grounding our epistemology in something of substance. Thanks Leo! Criteria for that make for quality perspectives_.docx

@ricachica stay safe out there.

MAGA shamelessly blames Cali wildfires on DEI-shows us how intellectually bankrupt right wingers are these days: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/10/nx-s1-5252757/california-wildfires-dei-diversity-influencers-firefighters

High quality, and well articulated. It was worth the wait. Thanks @Leo Gura 🙏🏾

This .. but also plan out a list of experiences you would like to embark on.

@Leo Gura props on the Rat God image lmao. It’s like going inside the mind of a Stage Blue rat 🐀 (not much different from a human at that level of development lol)

Ideologies are inherently limited in that they give way too much credence to self referencing truth claims. In retrospect the best ideologies are the ones who call themselves out as ideologies. But to do that would disqualify that worldview as an ideology.

This one is hilarious

Racist MAGA lady gets served a slice of good ole' humble pie:

In other words, things in Existence are limited, but Existence itself is unlimited.

It’s not so simple, self deception is always operative. That’s the main function of the ego mind. No need to have all the answers, just start doing the things that will make you feel better about your life. You have more control over this than you think.

It’s easy to deceive yourself into believing that this is the result of spiritual work. It could be the case, but it also might not be. Just something to think about. Here’s where taking massive action comes into play. You could set your sights on identifying what immediate actions you need to take to improve these areas of your life and chart a path forward. Hope & optimism are key.

I think people really do underestimate how psychologically taxing this is-not a casual endeavor whatsoever.

Certainly God is dumb, there’s nothing in existence that is not GOD.

Looks like Meta/Silicon Valley is going full blown MAGA these days: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/07/nx-s1-5251151/meta-fact-checking-mark-zuckerberg-trump https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/01/06/ufcs-dana-white-joins-metas-board-weeks-before-trump-takes-office.html

There are some fast criminals out there :

Validated quite a few-but even so, there are deeper levels to all of it .. Infinitely deep.

Of course not, spiritual teachers are imaginary after all .
