@Leo Gura Agree, we all have some small percentage of psychopathy in us, it's nothing out of the ordinary. I was looking at his behaviour that witnesses described in the video, and that's a classic psychopath's behaviour. Also they very definition of psychopathy come from a lower tier which doesn't see the big picture as you do. It's a difference of words, Survival or Psychopathy, the result is the same. -

In my opinion it's a psychopath that saw that trend and adapted the Green look to have more charm. Btw, I think you might be overly charmed with Bernie. (as a reaction to not liking Trump) He has anger issues and left radicality, which aren't a sign of a highly developed person. It seems his anger is leading into health issues, which makes him unfit to rule. In general I wanted to say to all you Trump critics, that you are helping him by criticizing him, the fact that you even react to him gives him power, you carrying his name over and over through the readers minds, and you are obsessed, that's his goal, that's how he wins. -

@Lento To respond - Yes the majority of people would help the Hamas, they were after all democratically voted into government. My disagreement with the status quo goes as far as leaving Israel if I had the chance. (There's bad karma here.) I'm a wage slave, with a family in a similar position, from which we don't actually have a choice but to stay here. (We actually immigrated here in 1990, escaping the fall of Soviet Union). It's basic Survival - Immigration is highly counter survival, in fact it's considered one of the biggest traumas a person can have. In each group the majority of people are low consciousness and just a tiny bit are high consciousness, so I don't judge a group by it's majority. I'm against any barrier whatsoever, but we gotta be realistic, it will take society a thousand more years to reach the level of development required to remove all borders and walls. If we could hypothetically take all the radicals from each side and separate them from normal peaceful people, it would be ideal. But the world doesn't work that way. -

That's the point, there are many Arabs here, but no jews there, if one happens to step foot in there just accidentally he will be tortured, killed, or kidnaped. My position is highly progressive, and it is to make the country non nationalist, global and open, maybe Israel-Palestine? What's not allowing that is the fact that Jewish people aren't feeling safe because of the massive anti semitism, and they need a place of their own to practice the jewish faith and customs. (Places need to be kosher) -

Ignorance: To not know that you don't know. The deeper you go the more you realize how much exactly you don't know, it's scary. In fact you don't know anything at all, to know anything about reality is completely useless. (Besides of course the address of your grocery shop.) In spiritual practice epistemic principles are as basic as walking. Without it you won't get far in the best case, and in the worst case you will become ideological. Consuming ideas without an epistemic foundation is like opening the medicine cabinet and eating a bunch of pills without reading the labels. Epistemology alone isn't enough, you need to also ground it in direct experience. Cheers

@Focus Shift Im sorry but I can't call it "awareness", because it's not objective, it's highly left-naive-pacifist-hippy biased. They are looking for the bad guy, and it's easy to automatically assume the stronger side is wrong. You can't listen to me either because I am also automatically biased being an Israeli, of course I work on that and try to be as objective as possible. Actually I'm all for the Two Countries solution, maybe even to allow Palestinians who want to become citizens of Israel with full rights a chance. This is a deep systemic fault, and it has multiple factors, which makes the quest for peace even harder. How about the world's ancient anti-semitism? We have nowhere to go, this tiny piece of land is our only home. How about the fact that we live peacefully with israeli arabs and we are at peace with many arab countries? It's them who want us gone no matter what, we are the ones who seek practical humane solutions. There are multiple peace programs that work with palestinian kids and israeli kids to be more united. At least half of our parliament is Left-Wing Progressive Stage Green, which actually these days isn't allowing for a Right-Wing government to assemble. Did you know that they educate their children for vengeance and violence? But don't listen to me, listen to the Jordanian's representative speech: The main problems that aren't allowing solutions are: We have a right wing religious-nationalist government. We were attacked many times by neighbour arab countries, we sustain attacks almost daily from Hamas and Hezbollah, which are stage Purple-Red Terrorist groups that exist just to kill us. Gaza is occupied by Hamas, and has no stable government to establish a country, which actually happened because we took our forces out of gaza many years ago. Plus if she really cared about her message she wouldn't charge for the film. I would totally watch it if it were free. -

@assx95 You are in fact conscious, but your idea of "everything" is imaginary, and so you are looking for it outside of actuality. (There's nothing "outside" of it.) -

@The Don Dear Sir, I'm sorry if it will seem harsh and rude, but someone should tell you this, You are wasting your time here. Do yourself a huge favour and leave. For some people it may do damage, because they are not ready. If I really tried to explain why, I would say that some people are just not mentally capable of crossing the post-rational barrier, and so non-dual teaching are not useful for them in any way whatsoever. Really, I wish you well with all my heart, Godspeed -
How would you apply the democratic principle between two people? If one says a hard "yes", and the other a hard "no"? What then?

@Preety_India I guess we can boil it all down to Borderline thinking and exaggeration. Thinking you are either nice or a jerk, and going from one extreme to other. This kind of radicality is just a result of a low level of development, and that's where most people are, so that's why we get all the stereotypes. (All women yada yada, All men yada yada.) My personal rule of thumb is not to judge the whole by the majority. To personally embody this means to understand that you always represent all your kind, and to act accordingly.

@Fede83 This issue goes much deeper and it has to do with codependency. One of its most common patterns of behaviour is pleasing others from a place of neediness. Someone who has that, sees his behaviour as "nice", and when he sees someone who doesn't do the same he calls him " a rude and arrogant jerk", but all that is a borderline judgement from a limited selfish perspective, which stems from low self esteem - this means that his perception is twisted by his illness. Also, it all depends on where the niceness is coming from, if it's not from manipulation, but an honest giving of kindness with no strings attached, then we are getting somewhere. A well rounded individual knows how to blend all these principles in a tactful manner, and so he may be both kind and attractive. You can also throw in stereotypical thinking, generalizing and level of development. It's obvious that people on different levels of development appreciate, and are attracted to different kinds of behaviours. For example, unhealthy stage red is attracted to displays of power.

@Nak Khid In our group meeting (12 Steps) we are advised to only speak in I. I can easily see why, because I can truly only know things for certain about myself, and all else is intrusive speculation. -
Anton Rogachevski replied to WHO IS's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Leo Gura Is it true to say that if many have committed suicide, it was indeed god's plan? How can anything go against god's will? If he gave us free choice, why should any choice be wrong? If death is imaginary, is suicide also imaginary? Isn't it arrogant to assume that that we can affect the way of nature with our actions? -
Anton Rogachevski replied to arlin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@arlin Sorry if I'm repeating, but this one is worth repeating: If happiness is indeed what you desire, you shouldn't make it a goal. It's a paradox, to be happy let go of the need for happiness. Cheers. -
Hello again dear actualizers! It seems as if Masculine is attracted to it's eqally opposite Feminine and visa versa. Is it always the case? Do you know of examples from personal experience which show otherwise? Please share.

Anton Rogachevski replied to Leo Gura's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Leo Gura 1. How can you take an entheogen and say that the truth shown to you is absolute? Isn't the experience (or no-experience) relative to the entheogen and the temporary state? We say that if something is changing it can't be the absolute. 2. If I reach a state where the mind isn't perceiving objects (no-mind), is it correct then to assume that they aren't real? 3. Isn't non duality a confusion of the subjective for the objective, and a basic assumption that one can reach truth via subjective experience? (Of course in a non-dual state the duality of the subjective-objective collapses, but is that state dependent collapse reliable?) -

Why do we point our finger at our brain when we say mind? Is that correct? Or just an old habit? -
Anton Rogachevski replied to Anton Rogachevski's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Lento Nowhere at all. -

@Inliytened1 If mind is indeed all there is, what do we mean when we say mind? How can anything infinite be distinguished at all? -
It's more correct to say desire to not die. To desire or not is the same thing. Actually I'm increasingly desiring it because I've completely changed the way I'm looking at it. Of course there is fear, but isn't that a different creature?
