I think most citizens will have to feel the effects of far right policy before they take any action. People in general are just too stupid and voting off the vibes. They need to feel the economic hardships from a dystopian free market before they act.

They are cutting intellectual people and workers necessary to keep the government functioning well or in other words people who would make it difficult to take over the government or people who would get in the way of corruption.

Saw this… wow

Yeah they are annoying. Saw a bunch of them backpacking Brasil, they were worse than the Americans.

I really like what Leo wrote here. I’ve been visiting my parents who I would say relative to me in my opinion are emotionally dysfunctional people. They are decent people but they are very controlling and on the carousel of despair, disconnected from the Tao. I’ve seen them as unsupportive and treating me poorly at times. I realized I’ve grown a bunch considering my dad doesn’t bother me so much anymore. I realized I’ve grown a ton by being able to accept them for who they are. And I’ve realized this is probably the best way things could of ever unfolded, because if my parents weren’t so harsh, I wouldn’t have started to take my life more seriously and look out for myself, set my life up in a way where I don’t need to rely on them for help. I know I’m valuable no matter what and just because my parents didn’t love or support me enough that doesn’t mean I’m not good enough and it doesn’t mean their approval or support makes me complete. They can be who they are and even if they are rude sometimes it doesn’t make me less valuable. Stay connected to the Tao. It will guide you through these challenging relationships.

Yeah… this is the thing where I believe the USA has now become a dictatorship. They are testing the waters on disappearing people. Ignore the courts, try it on a vulnerable person first who isn’t a citizen but has been granted something by a judge. Ignore courts saying what they are doing is illegal, shift responsibility. Continue and eventually try it on a dual citizen, maybe a convicted criminal or someone who did commit a crime. Maybe they try this next with a El Salvador / USA citizen. The thing is I wonder when they try to make the jump over to just a USA citizen or someone not even associated with South America. That would probably have some sort of false flag event or something to justify it but since it was happening for a while and now there is justification it will be waved away.

Is it true the will try to use martial law or something similar? They are now ignoring orders from the Supreme Court. I figure this will be a slow boil like the frog in the pot. They don’t need to rush it. Come the next election they will have dismantled so much.

This person always seems to have some controversy swirling around them. To me, not the sign of someone serious or mature to learn from.

First off, I think you deserve to pat yourself on the back. Going 8 months through something like this I'm sure has not been easy and you are literally facing what most people fear most, including me. And you are surviving every day and doing your best. Second, I pulled this quote because I think it's very powerful and a really important Taoist teaching. In life we face unexpected challenges, things may get very challenging at times and all our ideas about how life should unfold melt. I've experienced this before where this fantasy melts away and you are left with what is here in reality, what needs attention.

I agree with Leo, I would move to Berlin or a bigger city there. Small towns are very challenging to build leverage in or get enough exposure to meet a woman you want to be with. It’s possible but I would say not when starting out. Go to a big city and get experience.

Most people on this forum are tier 2. Tier 2 is easy to spot when you do self inquiry. Law of attraction. You start to recognize it and attract it into your life.

Inquire on why people do what they do. It will lead you to the answer to your question. From my experience when you live the way (Tao), you treat other people and life with more respect and dignity because you see it is a part of you, even if you see everyone has a different agenda and direction, you want to see everyone live up to their true potential even if they may be astray, and see harm only justified when it’s the only thing someone may understand.

I think they should be left in a gray area legally and left to psychologists and spiritual teachers to lead the way with. I don’t think they should be super illegal but definitely not sold freely by shops. Magic mushrooms and ayahuasca are legal in Brasil and it seems like they aren’t abused or used wrong here.

Putin isn’t an ego maniac like Trump. He did some stuff for propaganda but that was more so a strategy and he is an elusive figure and stays out of the spotlight. He’s a strong man and a dictator but you can tell he’s doing things much more out of a stage blue belief system about serving Russia, rebuilding an empire, righting a wrong. And Putin is a far more skilled statesman. Trump has MAGA but it’s more just boomer wishful thinking when they spew out some idea or complaint, Trump has always been it for himself / his family and just likes the attention cause people think he’s funny and “owns the libs.” This is why Trump is so unbelievably dastardly to anyone with half a brain. The guy was a reality tv start who bankrupted his business before he capitalized on the uneducated and fear based social media algorithms. He’s always been a phony but most people are too lost to see that.

What’s even sadder is half of them probably voted for Trump and most of them would vote for Trump again

It’s an interesting topic. I think the inner child is just a label for that part of the mind or the belief system that culminates in some belief of lacking, being separe, not being able to cope, not being good enough. Usually these concepts form in childhood. I think you absolutely can go through some incredibly difficult situations as an adult, life has many of those, maybe even materially harder that anything experienced as a child. I think our childhood belief system though that we maybe have built upon for many years ends up coloring these difficult experiences, making them more painful for us, usually believing the outside world says something about our inherent worth.

So what happens when the 90 days are up? Is his entire way of trying to accomplish anything that of a spoils child? Throwing stuff on the ground, throwing a tantrum, going on a power trip. people said he will be cold and calculated but he just seems unhinged now to an even greater degree.

I held. I’m not selling. Holding until someone new is in power. Don’t fall for bluffs.

So in laymen’s terms: a person who has built their life on a dishonest belief system. If that’s the case many people have done this in various areas of their life. I think the people who obviously perpetuate limiting societal beliefs the most though are politicians, news, social media tech guys who have brainwashed people with their algorithms.

The wording here on this site for living as a human almost sounds like it’s nothing but a burden or a mistake. I think it’s nearsighted and childish way of looking at things. The human side is not separate from spirit. Living in balance is the key. Survival is a spiritual experience as much as anything else.

I’ve spoken to him before and he’s a good guy. His wording isn’t always relatable to me but I can tell he is a caring guy.

You know that delusional entitled incoherent boomer that just spews ridiculous ideas and expects everyone to conform to their world view? Ok, well one of them was good at campaigning and won a presidential election.

Emotion is like a guidance system towards truth, not truth itself. Think of them like a compass that points north (truth). You align with truth when you dissolve beliefs that contradict or obfuscate truth. When you are not holding a belief system that contradicts, you are not torn between the opposing sides so you are then perceiving the truth, you as one without any belief that creates the illusion of you being separate, or not good enough (a common belief of separation, you being not good enough vs everyone else who is good enough), which then has a paired chemical reaction in your body which creates an emotion you then label as love giving you bodily feedback you are aligned.

Brilliant ideas

There is nothing wrong with emotions. I would say our experience as humans is colored by emotions and they can be wonderful. Joy, happiness, love, these are fine. The thing is most people including me have gotten lost in our emotions. It's almost as if they become the star of the show without ever looking at just what they are, why they exist, and how they exist. Most people aren't aware they create their emotions (from the beliefs and perceptions you choose, which is your choice, some of those beliefs may even be valid and helpful for how you want to live your life). They want to deny them, sweep them under the rug, fight with them, seek "emotional safety" which is a contradiction considering they are self generated. You aren't ever a victim to them, but most people frame them as such, and they pile on so many beliefs, in a way subtly letting their inner child / ego drive the car. Emotions are fine, even anger and whatnot can be appropriate, they aren't a mistake, I see them as a signal to lead oneself back to wholeness. Just take responsibility for them and recognize yourself at the center of them.
