Lately I've come to appreciate the power of great leadership and the transformation impact that can have in countries, companies and society at large. Two striking examples are Nayib Bukele in El Salvador and Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore. Bukele inherited a country called the murder capital of the world. His government’s aggressively cracked down on gangs and organised crime, despite receiving enormous global pushback by human rights movement, it has successfully transformed public safety to the point that now the US considers it safer than Sweden. The investment on education has also been heavy, with the program 2 schools everyday being built, over 900 schools have already been delivered since the start of the initiative last year. The last polls state that 94% of the country supports him, a record almost unheard of in democratic societies. Decades earlier, Lee Kuan Yew led Singapore from a small, poor and forced to be independent state into one of the world's most prosperous and developed economies. His vision was built around long-term thinking, strong institutions, economic pragmatism, education, infrastructure, and an uncompromising focus on national development; creating a successful style of government called state-guided capitalism. Ultimately, the difference between a stagnant society and a thriving one may sometimes come down to the quality of their leaders and whether they are capable of thinking beyond the next election, have a compelling vision and deliver tangible results.

If it happens you'll know. These types of Awakenings happen when you're getting into serious infinity territory and limits start being unimagined.

True but it's gonna be run through your epistemology system. Ken Wilber makes great points on the interpretation of peak states of consciousness through different developmental stages, which explains all the magical thinking and fairy tales from the religious past, despite probably having genuine metaphysical awakenings.

I agree with that

One point I'd like to make on epistemology VS metaphysics. What is epistemology at the highest level? Insight and understanding What is metaphysics at the highest level? Infinity, God, Consciousness, Awakening These are not in the same ballpark. And if one states that epistemology finally leads to omniscience then I'll say how can Omniscience not be profoundly metaphysical. I did many years of epistemology before metaphysics could even start to flourish, but the hierarchy is pretty clear in my mind. Epistemology is mostly human, or higher mind. Metaphysics is Godly. Of course everything is connected and all differences are imaginary, but I had to make this point.

Something that works great is to work on dissolving the duality between inside and outside. If you want something practical, instead of thinking so much, this guided meditation could be helpful:

The point is: What is anything after all?

Glad you found value in it Yes, I'm open for that. Let's PM and make it happen. There's much to be contemplated regarding desire.

I guess not much, but they were intelligent. However, that's false equivalence, some domains of Reality need more accumulation of knowledge and collective work than others for achieving mastery.

@LambdaDelta it's always refreshing to read one of your posts

In a metaphysical sense, desire is a localized contraction of the consciousness field around a certain form. For example, you are walking and suddenly you see a gorgeous hot person, consciousness will wrap itself tight around that form, grasping for it eagerly. When that person leaves, you may still grasp around the image in your mind, but eventually it will be released and the desire will be let go of. It's like closing a metaphysical fist around an object/form. When you satisfy a desire notice that what comes is actually a release, a letting go. Techniques like vipassana meditation help you realize this, and eventually cultivate an equanimous mind that sees through contraction and release, through desire and aversion, through pain and pleasure, through concentration and relaxation.

Yes, that's true. To make my point clearer: for regulated professions there's a systematic lock-in with university. For the rest of high earning jobs it becomes very complicated but some have done it, specially in the entrepreneur field.

It's very important, but not that important to get a lifelong debt for it. Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer, in which case it's compulsory. In my country prices are reasonable, I'll soon start a MSc in project management. If you love learning, many topics are still locked behind universities and I bite the bullet for understanding.

Your comment reminded me of the book radical honesty. That's the type of commitment to truth required to realize God.

Leo should make some communication soon if it's gonna be still on October as first planned, people will need to book transportation and organise days off from work.

I'm still gaining clarity on all the details, what is very clear is that no matter what, your POV is absolute, your consciousness is absolute, your self is infinite and absolute. Reality is one, all-inclusive, all-connected existence, then from an Existential point of view, there's only itself: an Infinite Consciousness/Being groundless ground that fragments in endless fractal multiplicity.

@fanta what is exactly your question/doubt?

Good questions If we want to stay very strict epistemically speaking, the thing is that you are forever locked in your experience and sensory field, this is the truth and your constant everpresent reality. You cannot experience other because even if you did, that would then become your experience. So you will never verify that there is another having an experience because you are locked into your experience. From this, the leap comes, should then I believe in something which I can't verify? Or should I go with the obvious that seemingly there are other having an experience? This moment contains everything that could be in potential, but not in actuality. It's like saying, does the screen you are seeing right now contain all movies and books, yes in potential, but in actuality is being a particular frame. There's only one God with Infinite eyes. Reality is Infinite, contemplate what Infinity means and implies with the help of a psychedelic. There's One Consciousness and everything is mediated through it, whatever may or may not happen will be through it. Experiences are Infinite, there's no end and no beginning to what can be experienced.

Solved it

Entered the thread to write this ^

In that case avoid very dopaminergic psychedelics. Good decision for you and thanks for the honesty, it's hard to give advice without the full picture.

It's possible in theory but to actualize that it will take amounts of development, emotional work and investment that are almost unheard of. To just be well with yourself, balanced and happy is a full time job. Now add a relationship with a women, it takes a lot to have a conscious fulfilling marriage, which is why most fail. Each person you add to the relationship is an incremental exponential layer of complexity. This would be like a full time job, with no guarantee. Let's flip it around, would you be in a relationship with 5 guys and 1 women? Do you see the amount of work it would take to handle 5 dicks and egos? I'm sure some freaks have done it, but it's like running an Ironman, it has be almost your life purpose and you can't force it either, you cannot force love or chemistry or real bonds, you cannot force life paths either, it may work while the alignment is there but life is constant flux.

The highest intelligence is to Love all of Reality, what else is there to do or to be than Love? After all my crazy Awakenings, the thing that truly touches you and gives meaning to life, in my experience, has been love, that's what cracks your heart and satisfies your soul. God is unimaginable infinite Love, it's like a nuclear bomb of perfection that just goes on for Infinity. The best Awakening of Love is that which keeps on accelerating forever, can't be better and it constantly becomes better, overflowing in its own perfection, that's the beating heart of Reality of God of yourself of this moment.
