Including the idea of a separate self that exists independently outside of NOW. The unfolding of your entire life has been almost exclusively mental, grounded in conceptual knowledge and backstory. God awakens when it sees its work in the unfoldment of reality; it sees itself as a sort of master craftsman through Divine Consciousness and Intelligent. Consider how much you resist this unfolding, and how much suffering is caused by not recognizing that it is all your Minds work. To fall in love with life requires you see the Intelligence of your own Mind- bask in the fact that it’s Eternal.

It can be conformist if you don’t question your own questioning

now that's real strength

Mannequin challenge back in 2016:

Hoop earrings on Caucasian women.

Cash conformity Checking and savings accounts shit coin payday loans lottery tickets MLMs Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad credit card scammers making it rain in the strip club

Common everyday greetings: good morning good evening have a good day have a good night

More conformity: Fast food. Amusement parks/Raves/festivals. Paying tithes at church or other religious gatherings . Holding doors open for people. Taking on debt to earn a college degree. Saying please and thank you

I’d argue that AI can be more intelligent than humans in some respects. This is what everyone is freaking out about, but that’s what government regulation is for. If we keep eroding bureaucratic legislative institutions in favor for corporate monopoly of AI- things can and most likely will get ugly

The attraction to a woman’s ass goes beyond cultural influence. Now the kinds of ass he’s attracted to- that could maybe be conformity

Conservative Media like PragerU & FoxNews.

Insight: All conformity is a mechanism of cultural indoctrination on some level.

Liforme Yoga mats. Good mat but bought it mostly out of conformity !

Where do we draw the line between real threats and AI Doomer-ism? People are losing their minds in more ways than one. Proper epistemological orientation seems like the antidote to most of the madness with AI

Sound baths are conformity .. I did one yesterday

Seems a bit dissociative dont you think? I'd imagine Consciousness work would not cause you too look at your mother as some hollow algorithm. You are hallucinating your mother, an appreciation of your Mother's existence is the same as appreciating your Mind & imagination. Same goes for humanity, same goes for all of Reality.

This helps. I have to keep bringing myself back to the truth that the talking head on my screen called Leo is a projection of my Mind. Most projections of Mind are there to serve my limited worldview and identity as human- even when I don’t necessarily want them to

Spiritual pragmatism- most religions and New Age paths are grounded in this. What works is conflated with what is True. It’s takes a highly non conformist mind to be able to make this distinction. How can something that works for human flourishing and well being be false? Does not compute for most human minds

Depends. Maybe you got a mystical vision after doing shrooms, the awakened spirits told you directly that a dog in your apartment will bring you good fortune . In this case you would be testing it out-not out of conformity, but to see if the awakened spirits are full of shit or not

Conformity vs non conformity- Is like the difference between buying brand name products for superior quality vs buying it because all your friends have it. most iPhone users couldn’t tell you what makes iPhone superior to Android other than all the fact all their friends have iPhone Apple conformity!

That’s deep

Conformity is a key ingredient to the functioning of human society. An extreme example- some of us are less inclined to murder someone in broad daylight because of social consequences. Anything that we do that is influenced by the opinions of the groups we identify with is conformity in a nutshell. Non conformity may not look like going out and murdering someone in the face of social pushback, but it does start the process of asking why we put value in social acceptance in the first place. To do this- we have to start identifying less with social groups in which we belong to. This is risky depending on what degree we are attached to such groups. Participating in conformity can be done from a higher plane, but first requires questioning why we do the things we do.
