No claims, just my observations Ultimately in direct experience. My feelings can't be properly validated or invalidated by humans, as my experience is sovereign onto itself.

Can maybe add a banana or apple into your snack rotation. Good to hear you are taking care of yourself more

No one knows what a feeling is - its entirely context dependent, bound by linguistic constraints: "I feel like they're after me" "I feel a sensation in my gut" "I feel as though you're not listening" "That back rub feels so good" "You hurt my feelings" etc, etc (Correction, the only thing we know about feelings is that we feel them).

Susanne Cooke Greuter interview-higher stages of ego development: Of course-Construct Awareness is one of the highest of perspectives one can take:

how is your mental health? Are you taking care of baseline needs?

As someone who has struggled with both (and at times, still continues to this day)-i thought this was a great 5 minute animation to share:

One of those advantage being creating a real & tangible pathway to reaching 5/6-Construct Aware stage (SCG Ego Development Model). I did not realize how profound and life changing this stage is-Actualized.org is like a Masters course to help you get to this stage. For me, it was worth transcending all human concepts at the expense of social bonds forged from collective group think, ideology & conformity. One of hardest things to admit to oneself is that most (if not all) human social systems are grounded in one or more of these -- even the so called healthy ones.

Getting a lot of juice from Leo’s posting on Buddhist notions of Enlightenment as of late. The Buddhists seem to designate one state of consciousness (that of nirvana and pure formlessness) as the end game. Buddhists are ultimately stuck in duality and do not recognize ontology as a serious concept in spiritual matters. The possibility of reality being an ontological tautology is dismissed as a distraction from the pursuit of nirvana-this is a huge mistake). They don’t recognize Oneness properly, let alone Infinity. What is Enlightenment? It’s an achievement a particular state of consciousness. This can come with or without a proper understanding of the substance of reality itself, or an understanding of construct awareness or self deception. To the Buddhist-these things can be reduced to emptiness understanding is seen as an a distraction to attaining nirvana. The Buddhist is resisting Truth. One, on a more everyday level- that just because someone has reached this Enlightenment state, doesn’t mean they are safe guarded from epistemic corruption of the human mind and language. Secondly, they are resisting the truth that Enlightenment itself is an experience within Consciousness that has been turned into a limited epistemic frame, in which human biases have been projected upon and turned into a dogma. That dogma prevents them from understanding reality, which is the same to say realizing God. also noting that there has been a new embrace of this kind of thinking in Western culture (even pop culture). It’s an upgrade from Christian fundamentalism, but is not free from self deception and numerous forms of corruption. It also does nor properly deconstruct science; Stage Orange has taken transcendental meditation and has turned it into a tool for self help based in science, reducing suffering/pain so you can live a productive human life, understanding reality isn’t even thought about.

These are all questions for YOU to contemplate. Step 1

That could be the case, but it could also be the case that they are pointing to something that is not being understood or grasps due to assumptions and dogmas of Buddhism or some other limited paradigm. How would you know unless you did a deep, personal inquiry into the question itself and deconstructed the paradigm? Allegiance to a spiritual school or a single path is what makes inquiry less enticing. It is easy for the mind to deny, hide behind a false sense of certainty about its worldview. It can always be the case that one who’s making accusations, misses that those accusations are coming from the very thing it seeks to demonize: ego

Not only does it create false distinctions between these-but also fails to distinguish each as mental constructions. And so, it never investigates how the mind constructs reality, and what’s behind the entire process.

High perspective - Eben Pagan on avoiding devils in business:

Lmao

Interview with Catatonic Schizophrenic: One thing that this work has allowed me to do is respect the Infinite nature of Consciousness. Worldviews and minds that are normally demonized in mainstream culture don't seem that dangerous and irrational. Of course, I am still very much biased and prejudiced in subtle ways- but understanding that God exists as every mind in the Universe helps me see things for what they are (with less judgement). Every perspective, even one of a catatonic schizophrenic, is legitimate in that it Exists as a fragment of God's Infinite Consciousness.

Yoga works well for knee and back pain. I'm also ramping up some big changes as well- i want to open the door to metaphyiscal insights by facing fear and stretching my mind. There are some practical things I am focusing on to get this done. Actualized videos help a ton. Here is one of my favs:

Musk & DOGE mafia gutting SSA and exposing sensitive data on non-citizens to peddle right wing narratives on immigration and government inefficiency. Our social security data is literally in the hands of corrupt devils and used to further their agenda: Keep in mind, that Antonio Garcias and his job at DOGE does not grant any form jurisdiction to access or publish sensitive data of any kind. He states repeatedly in this video that "this is not political" - he's clearly lying, this is nothing but shrewd politics.

Pollution of the epistemic ecosystem- yes .. hallmark trait of a scoundrel of this sort.

Depends on how much they believe their own bullshit I guess .

Makes sense- my intro to developing epistemic standards was through your channel-my baseline. Couldn’t imagine doing it without it

I like that you’ve coined this term- would you agree that it encompasses everyone who thinks the Actualized teachings are a waste of time ? Seems to be a biased assertion-but a healthy one relative to Truth seeking

Normies can't conceive a psychotic break being proper at all, its almost always objectively defined as improper. So my question is, for the mystic-what is the value of a "proper" psychotic break?

I think there are more sophisticated tools for the perpetuation of white supremacy that supersede Trump and existed long before he became president (most are subtle, systemic in nature). Trump enables these preexisting structures of white supremacy and advances agenda through things like Supreme Court appointees and regressive policies that impact our education system and voting rights (immigration and border control as well). But make no mistake, Trump is so incompetent that he can actually make life for average white supremacist difficult in some pretty unique ways (unbeknownst to them).
