We ain't designed to walk on concrete/asphalt. Barefoot may be better but not in an urbanised environment.

@AtmanIsBrahman what do you consider the most truthful teaching? Your average person will only care about truth insofar as it can be utilised in some way.

🎯 I might add we are all corrupt on different levels, across different domains. Some are more aware of it. I would generalise and claim truth seekers might be less so. But I have been bloody surprised before!

Hmmmm. Pure truth could be recognised as unity. Infinity. We are all It. Recognising self in other - teaching truth could simply be the attempt at integration of truth itself. Self helping self. Self dissolving all that stands between subject/object. To raise anothers consciousness is to raise our own. But really, survival is a powerful force. It is very important to recognise awakening to truth does not exclude us from incentive structures - and genetics. This might help explain the corruption in spiritual teachers. And motivation.

Heh heh, all humans are terrified of the womb. They want to get back in so badly. Fixated on death as a method to escape thoughts of the womb. The original unity. Happy to talk about death forever with not a thought about coming into the awareness. Just think about it, most people view the womb with revulsion. Birth is treated as revolting. Blood. Body fluids. Shit. Piss. Placenta. Something to contemplate.

@Valach yep I had to go through a long healing process - I go into it a bit more in the link below. A bit of back and forth between me and @bazera if you want to hear some anecdotes 🙂 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/113167-why-has-dating-collapsed-the-real-reason-no-one-talks-about/?do=findComment&comment=1741602

@Valach I agree with your values changing once you heal. Although I am a woman, many of my male circle report attractiveness being less of a priority in a mate. Screening for a healthy, stable and mature mate overtakes prioritising physical attractiveness. Many even claim searching for an attractive mate was less about them and more about status broadcasting when they were younger. Maturity, intellect and stability become the attraction factor. Values change as we heal. Just my experience with a circle of 6/7 dudes who report the same transition. We are all between 39-45 years old.

@Valach very similar crossover with attachment theory, what you touch on above.

@Lila9 😍

Yep, this. I'm not talking about maternity leave or benefits like that. My idea was to treat motherhood as a legitimate occupation that would supply a commodity - people. Workers. Which will boost the economy and sustain capitalism. It won't come without its own set of issues. Necessity is a powerful push for compromise. I do not think a policy like that has ever been proposed in western countries. I don't know of any countries that have tried it.

If you are communicating with another human - there are emotions involved. It is just ignorance if you think this isn't happening. Emotions are transmitted, received and form part of the communication - as well as words and context.

@Carl-Richard was going to note that proposing kids help out with LOOKING AFTER THEMSELVES is a good habit to be instilling into them - but felt it was a bit obvious 😂😂😂

@WonderSeeker I've been present for birth (my brother's) and death (my grandfather's). These two moments are so intense. You are literally witnessing Truth express itself through living organisms; division, union, love & God all at once. There are no words.

@Basman has it been done?

KEEP EM COMING @Lila9 show us!
