This is not gaslighting. I even raised that if you did not feel the way it it came across, then that is true, and the misunderstanding is due to the limitations of text. This is actually validating your experience. The very opposite of gaslighting.

Are you sure the pressure of the COVID pandemic didn't just reveal the issues of humanity that were always present?

You words read as defensive and attached - as if you view conformity as negative. And it is not so, conformity can have great benefit. I do not mean this as an attack or critisizm, simply how the feeling is appearing to be expressed behind the words. Sometimes text is not accurate. If you say you do not feel this way, it is so. It is not typical one needs to defend, justify, or give reason unless feeling encroached upon.

Conformity triggers everyone, it seems

You're revealing wayyy to much learned wisdom to the newbies 🔥❤️

The power of cognitive bias. The smartest people have the full strength of their intellect working against them if they aren't aware of their thinking patterns....

Japanese too 😊

You could consider we bred dogs to bond with us from their original wolf form. We made dogs conform to humans over the span of 30,000 years. By conform in this sense, I mean to 'fit in'. For safety. Tribalism. Survival. We have probably somewhat genetically imprinted ourselves into conformity by default owning them (assisting them with survival and turning them to our will). As the bond is now a instinct: dogs literally live to serve and work with their humans. And anyone who has owned a dog knows there is some deeper bond going on than what shows on the surface. Owning one as a pet - the dog serves our needs for love, affection, attention, play, bonding. Owning one on a farm is still a dog serving a humans need as service animal. Similar to guide dogs. Fine lines of distinction.

It's not that I think I am smart - I just tried to unpack how I understood your statement so you could clarify further if there was something else do add, or I maybe something I missed in my interpretation? You know what? Don't worry yourself about it. It is more than evident you are not open to discussion. No offence was meant.

Keep us posted, keen to have a look at this when it is published

Hahaha Yes boss!

You better make this your life purpose. Progress check-ins. Perfect for Leo's life purpose course. I was even going to say it would be the most dubious use of the course imaginable... But knowing Leo? Where else could you merge panties jihads and Ram Dass contemplations but actualized.org?! 🙃🙃🙃

❤️ Let's just go back to the panties jihad because it's going to take me a bit to stop laughing about it 🤣

It's not a mental disorder. It's not a pathology diagnosed in the DSM. Stop this shit.

My God what is going on in this thread. Leo the voice of reason here and panty jihads in the personal development section 💀

Ima throw in the towel with this one 🤪 Or should I say bra and panties lol

Yeah but there is a huge difference there you are still missing.

The recognition of unity? And not in a way that is virtue signalling like a martyrdom

I do not think it is about being compatible. I think it is about tolerance. You can tolerate the low consciousness people without them having a great effect on you. Recognise that they are where they are at, and just have compassion for them without being emotionally engaged in their behaviour and views/judgement. For example - I am in a much better place than I was previously. Higher consciousness now. I can tolerate a relationship with my stepdad, who physically and mentally abused me. Previously I could not due to extreme emotional triggering. I simply see him as a child who had no one, and learned the wrong type of love. He made many, many mistakes. I forgive him. I can tolerate him in my presence. This does not mean I allow him to have a deep part in my life. It also means I do not suffer him.

The weird shit to me is liberating women to show their bodies in the name of serving others (pornography). Seems strange to me, kind of backwards. 'Liberating women' masquerading as another way for them to serve another's carnal appetite ??

It would be lovely if English had an equivalent for this! It would clear up a lot of confusion spiritually.

I don't think a lot of users here understand what is being said by Ram Dass. I think it is the sort of statement that one takes meaning from totally dependant on their current state of consciousness. As soon as their perspective is changed through elevation, the statement takes on a new meaning. Typically, it will reveal who has experienced the Self, unity, infinity and oneness - depending on how they answer or perceive it @Ramasta9 Thank you for your words

Leo you judas - as if no TIE Fighter *spits*
