There's no need for such hostility.

What medications are you currently taking or prescribed?

I think the desire for harmony is causing you to compromise authentic expression. I do suspect this is something - perhaps, I am never 100% - you might struggle with more than someone like me. A lot of your tension would rest in the space between harmony & connection and self expression. Big marks of maturity, stability and self trust in relationships are often not lower conflict or friction; but how well we action resolve and handle ambiguity. It is the repair process that is a marker of higher consciousness. Friction is a given. I think this is why he is striking home so well with you - probably less some of his other traits

I am not for Naftali Moses in terms of women - he doesn't understand women. His ideology of the feminine is busted. I bet you anything he has no sisters. Maybe he is good for men to listen to and benefit from, but not women. I think his philosophy is also rather poor. I've listened to 6/7 interviews with him. No offense to anyone who gets something from him. He seems very green.

Definitely. We need to be in truth with ourselves in order to feel secure in our vulnerability. The issues being discussed in this thread have very little to do with our relationships with others, and everything to do with our philosophy of self and our capacity to trust ourselves. Vulnerability becomes far less threatening when we have internal alignment and honesty. The problem is not what another person might do with our vulnerability; it's whether we trust ourselves to recognize what is true, respond appropriately, and remain grounded regardless of the outcome. There are issues with attachment going on that are part of our conditioning as humans. Until these are inspected we will get no where.

Interesting - by "how we relate to it" what do you mean? I feel an insight as a great big "thunk" inside me. Like when you slot a piece of a jigsaw puzzle in and you feel the crisp click as it all lines up. Then I feel a large expansive feeling and deep sense of satisfaction. Sometimes even a thrill that runs through my body from my chest to my head.

You fundamentally do NOT understand what is being communicated to you in this thread. You are refusing to be vulnerable & face parts of yourself. I am not sure if you see this or not.

Genetics load the gun, environment pulls the trigger. Genetics don't determine everything. Your environment & personal habits have a huge impact. Epigenetics is a very real and well studied field. It does no good to be so fatalistic.

@Carl-Richard back on track. Picture this (if you will): Tool. Loud. Training ride on a hilly bushland road. Sprints on an aluminium single speed bike. Legit played Tool with you in mind (I recall telling you about it a while ago). Deliberate music choice. Went so hard at the end I got off and spewed everywhere, right as 7:40 "invincible" comes on (you'll know the rhythmic insistent guitars). Looked up and two cyclists had stopped to check if I was okay, wiped off the vomit and replied "Yeah, how you doing?" ...in the most sleazy accidental tone with a head nod. The sleaze was horrid. I dont know why it came out that way 😭 Opened this thread to see: Carl. IT IS SLEAZE ❤️‍🔥

⊙⁠.⁠☉ Interesting. No one deserves anything.

RIP 🙏🏻 legend

@coca gotcha. What do you mean by recourse? I think there are certainly domains of high consciousness resources and platforms. Just as an example, I have two forums I am part of that I would consider far superior and higher consciousness than actualized.org on embodiment and pure being. Lesser focuses here. Which isn't a criticism, just domain specific.

Let's keep this on track - some more deconstructing Bryan Johnson and his flawed science and poor philosophy:

There are. Have you had a look and joined some of the closed groups? It wasn't meant as an insult, so if offense was taken it was just misunderstood. There are forums and groups out there that will suit a health / transhuman sort of consciousness theme for discussion. We have heaps of topics here, soo feel free to discuss if you like. It might be more suited to a niche though. No one is shutting down threads or stopping dialogue. The user expressed a lot of distress at disagreement. Finding somewhere that suits them and doesn't have such a feeling of distress is a good thing.

@Asayake have a search on the forum for Bryan Johnson. No one is really engaging here because his methods (and himself) have been debunked and discussed to oblivion. In those old threads you will find what you seek - have a lookie. Where is there disrespect? I just expressed my opinion. You guys realise mods have their own opinions (provided we follow the guidelines, as apply to all) yeah? You don't have to agree 😊 @AION I know you love to pop into threads and try to shit on me all you can (nice try, but I recognise this is you genuinely being fascinated, which is flattering). You genuinely do have some sort of obsession going on there. Hope all is well.
