Damn .. just did the spiritual exercise posted on the blog. I am corrupt AF .. never mind

But we can’t ever not “be alive”. Seems more fair to say that some states of consciousness are more evil / corrupt than others relative to the closeness of one’s Mind to Infinite consciousness.

Makes the path more complex..as it should be

I recall vividly when my state shift happened. This was after a solid 6-8 months of contemplating Leo’s works and trying to bake insights, it was tiring .. I was doing the entire thing manually. One day at a nightclub near the dance floor it just happened. At the time I couldn’t tell what it was but something about my perception changed, something deep. It’s the sharp and immediate feeling of everything making sense … what’s funny is it made me recontextualize all the Actualized teachings I had absorbed over those 6-8 months, though I can’t definitively say my intense contemplation of such things is what caused the breakthrough- maybe it did, maybe it didn’t. Once a state is achieved, it only deepens (in my experience). It’s a baseline from which all thoughts generate. I am at times insecure about my Awakening because it was done without psychedelics. Some meditation was involved, but not anything super hardcore- I’m not so insecure about it anymore, because I’ve also realized no one can validate/invalidate it. My direct experience speaks for itself —never to be shared or talked about to anyone but myself because I’m imagining everything

crazy .. but true

Thanks for sharing that- takes courage and vulnerability, also helps me understand your experience with men and their sexual taste. Only thing I would ask is that working in these environments, can it skew one's perspective on men? It is a limited sample size. Also what is behind referring the term "male species?" seems to dehumanize men. I don't care to be right or to debate/make a point. This kind of dialogue helps broaden my perspective.

What is foundational in making religion problematic? Here is my list: 1. God as a separate entity, which makes God limited 2. Idol worship: Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha (among many). 3. Is not construct aware, does not understand social construction. 4. Misses laws of relativity, post modernism 5. Prioritizes religion as tool for human survival over addressing deep questions Consciousness

1. We can take our opinions as absolute. Stating something as opinion does not absolve it from being take as superior to other perspectives, opinions and worldviews. 2. You base what is true off of media/advertisement- but how many personal conversations (deep conversations) have you had with men on sexuality and what they value? What about the diversity of men from different cultures, backgrounds, etc? Not saying you haven’t done this, but stressing the importance of what is necessary to come up with a truth claim of any kind.

You seem to be saying two opposed things. One sentence you make absolutist statement about what men value, then say not all of them value it. I’m skeptical of your position on this because your statements seem to come from a place of taking absolutist positions on what men value as important when selecting sexual mates- this discredits men who have high standards that go beyond just physical attractiveness and wanting to use women for sex and nothing else. My question now is- what holds you from questioning your assumptions and generalizations about men on this topic?

Hmm .. but how can you be so certain? That’s my main question. Unless you surveyed/experienced every man in existence, this could possibly be a generalization on your part.

Maybe. But you have to remember most people voted for Trump ideological grounds, economic variables are often secondary. Hallmark of low perspective:

Conservatives would like to fear monger you about these things to distract you from their bullshit and corruption. Don’t make the mistake of falling into right wing narratives about such things. Not all of it is identity politics. Right wingers place more emphasis into identity politics than liberals/leftist- be it in the form of white Christian nationalism, being a true patriot, fighting against immigrants, the nuclear family, etc The whole MAGA brand is based in identity politics. This is all crude and distasteful stuff

no easy solutions to mass political ignorance of American voting bloc. Much of it has to do with how corrupt mass media / social media is in shaping epistemology and political discourse. Mis information will only get worse under Trump

Well .. this thinking is what got Trump elected. Populism only works for a citizenry who isn’t idiotic enough to vote for a corrupt narcissist like Trump, thinking he will solve any real issues of wealth inequality. Americans do not deserve, nor are they ready for progressive populism. We need to get real about this.

Out of curiosity, What was your process for coming to this conclusion? Seems like you are putting on a pedestal women's process of sexual selection over the men's process. Circumstantial and physical attractiveness can be factors for both genders -- not everything reduces to gender differences. What you have is women who are horrible at choosing sexual partners, just as there are men who are horrible at it as well. Both can be self deceived in unique and distinct ways.

Yes-probably our best bet. Neither Bernie or AOC will advance any progressive agenda so long as corporate lobbying is influencing Dem & Repub policy, there are zero signs of any progress there-and a Trump administration only prolongs things. Taxing wealth is so unpopular in American political culture these days- its a true shame. Feels like every powerful person is out to destroy the middle class by any means necessary.

Bernie baby

Awesome- thank you @Yimpa !

how tf do you explain this? I'm still trying to figure it out:

difference between philosophical perv vs. epistemic scoundrel?

Unreal-beautiful video-thanks for posting! @Leo Gura:

Construct awareness 5/6 I notice that this allows us to be more open to spotting limitations of models and not turning them into dogma or ideology -

Seems like omniscience is an Absolute, but how do we square this with laws of relativism? I’m sure there are arguments against the existence of Absolute Omniscience.

New metric for level of Consciousness & development: quality of porn you watch. Looks like I got more work to do On a serious note-what distinguishes low quality from high quality porn? Not so obvious I feel
