If humanity didn’t evolve, we would still be throwing spears at each other. The reality is that humans today show much higher degree of empathy than thousands of years ago. We will evolve, it just takes enormous amount of time, which is why it is so valuable. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Thank you. Much love to you brother ❤️

This is extremely interesting.

But then he wouldnt be so popular anymore

Very good!

I know right? This is why you ought to be very careful of spiritual teachers, and people in general who have reached awakenings but haven’t done the human work.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I might write my own later, altho I kinda already did in the thread I started the other day. There is definitely a big hole in the market for Healthy Pickup. Even in a community like this, you see it lacking. When I first joined this community, I expected there to be mostly people who had mastered pickup, transformed it into a healthy version, and finally even transcended it. I was shocked to find out the truth. That being said, how many really resonate with a healthy version of pickup, since as you said: people who get into it tend to be more mentally broken people. Normal, healthy men look for dating oppostunities via other means.

Simpliticity is sitting on your ass, meditating 10 hours a day for a week.

@Hello1 We do much more serious work here. Really, what Eckhart Tolle teaches in a way cannot even be described as spiritual work. It’s children’s game. It’s pure fantasy.

Eckhart Tolle’s teaching is very soft and beginner friendly. There is a reason he is so famous and appeals to a wide range of audience.

When I was in my early twenties, I loved listening to Sadhguru. Nowadays I cant stand him, nor most spiritual teachers. Honestly nowadays my own mind, and my own silence are so much more enjoyable and interesting.

Lol, I just realized this was supposed to go to the Conformity thread. Heh

You are misunderstanding Spiral Dynamics if you think that higher stages means superior. It is higher yes, but not superior in the sense of ’I am better than thou’. A higher stage simply means more complex, holistic, and integrated. The lower you go, the simpler the mind is. At the lowest it literally is: kill or be killed.

Celebrating new years

The Spiral Dynamics model is not perfect, as no model is. But it is the best we have got to use.
