😢 I’m sleep deprived.

It may be “just” concepts. But as I see it, the illusion of separation is a real experience that we feel, even if we are not really separated. We strongly feel this illusion as the reality, unless we are high or in some ecstasy, joy, or in a love state.

Yes, I agree that it’s God’s creation and that it is divine and intelligent, doing its experiences and play, and it is as it is. But I think that survival itself requires us to forget that we are not really separated and that we are all God. Survival requires us to forget about the absolute truth in order to sustain the illusion of separation. This is not to deny that there are relative truths within survival and less and more awakened parts of God.

The absolute truth may be that we are one, not separate (the illusion of separation), that we are consciousness/awareness manifesting/imagining physicality rather than the opposite, and that God is creating infinitely. This may be the main thing, and it is actually very simple and easy to understand, we all know it. The issue is that humans, especially philosophers, don’t try to integrate this into their lives and are lost in endless theoretical intellectualization. This is why philosophy and constant intellectualization is not the end game. The end game is to transcend it and literally to embody the “Truth”. Live it.

I think that the point is not to let survival distract us from the truth. In an attempt to survive, we may do untruthful and corrupt things. However, I don’t think that survival is bad either. Our body is a vehicle and our emotions are messages. We can use them wisely to access truth (through intuition). This is something that many philosophers who are detached from their bodies are missing.

I love this thread and it’s so lovely to see your pets 😍 I have mixed-breed girl and boy. They are my life.

You are right. Still, I prefer to keep the human stuff in my journal.

Thank you so much. I promise 🥺 I am HSP which is both a gift and a curse…

I don’t like to disturb them with my nonsensical human life 😔

I think that it’s conformist to talk only to humans. If you go out on the street and talk to plants or animals, people will look at you weirdly. I’m not talking about casual stuff like “oh, how beautiful” or “how cute.” I’m talking about serious or deep conversations.

Yes, it may be faster than usual this time.

Patriarchy is about the domination of fathers, while matriarchy is not about domination at all. Matriarchy is about cooperation. This is more natural to humans and this is the reason we are so powerful. Because of our ability to cooperate. If you look at the diagram I shared above, patriarchy is more like a pyramid, while matriarchy is more like a sphere. The architecture of matriarchy is more friendly toward sustainable life and does not include the oppression of any group, unlike patriarchy. Children are the true foundation of society, and society is better built on them rather than on capital. I believe that we have come to the point where patriarchy has become so unsustainable for human life that it naturally collapses. This is why birth rates will continue to decline until society changes toward a more matriarchal structure. This will happen gradually. It may take hundreds of years. The balance between individualism and collectivism can exist in matriarchy. Like in patriarchy, there are more individualistic patriarchal societies and more collectivistic ones. While matriarchy is more inclined toward collectivism, it doesn’t have to be absolute collectivism (like purple).

Look where we are now: living in a world controlled by pedophilic, greedy, psychopathic, narcissistic, and misogynistic men who destroy the earth. This is patriarchy for you. This is not sustainable for human life or any animal we share space with. I don’t understand the positives of patriarchy you stated; can you please elaborate more on them? Masculinity can definitely exist in a matriarchal society and is part of it. The main distinction between masculinity in a patriarchal vs. matriarchal society is that masculinity in a patriarchal society is exploitative and dominating, while in a matriarchal society it is protective and nurturing, which is the healthy form of it. Ideally, masculinity should be channeled for the benefit of the community, not against it.

@Nivsch Thank you, Niv. You too, stay safe! I wish us better days ahead. We deserve it.

In those areas, like the Middle East and Africa, women are forced to marry and have children. If not by physical force, then by social pressure. Singlehood is seen as a threat. It is also more difficult and dangerous to survive as a single woman in those areas. Iceland, despite having more equality, still has a patriarchal framework. There is not country in the world without a patriarchal framework. In the West, women have the choice and they choose not to, especially since men are more likely to believe in oppressing gender roles, while women are more likely to reject them and believe in gender equality. This is why conservatives in countries like America would like to take reproductive rights away from women and do not support welfare for single mothers with children. They want to force women back into oppressive gender roles, where they are reliant on men for survival and expected to have children. Many people don't understand that patriarchy is built like a pyramid scheme. Those on top are dependent on the unpaid labor of those at the bottom. The motherhood and care labor women do is the most important labor there is, without this labor, society would crumble. However, this is the most underpaid labor. If the patriarchal system were to start paying women what they deserve for their care labor, the patriarchy would crumble, and the economy as we know it would no longer exist, which is exactly why motherhood and women's labor are underpaid. This is not a bug, this is a feature. This is patriarchy trying to preserve itself. Women and mothers can only be properly supported and appreciated in a non-patriarchal society, which is built more like a sphere than a pyramid. Everyone gets enough for their survival. There is no need to hoard at the expense of anyone. This, of course, can't be achieved in a red-blue-orange society. It can only happen in green and above. Now, we are at a crossroads. Patriarchy is crumbling and killing itself because it was never a sustainable structure to begin with. And so, all the ideas related to patriarchy like capitalism, dominance, control, and materialism can't sustain a healthy society for humans. This is why the birth rate will continue to declain until radical change happens, such as gradually moving towards a more matriarchal structure. You may refer to the work of this woman on matriarchy. This is very likely the future of humanity if we are to survive these dark ages. The true foundation of society is children, not captial: https://substack.com/@nergiz/p-170760646 Humans are matriarchal species: https://lettersfromayoungmatriarch.substack.com/p/humans-are-a-matriarchal-species?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2 Patriarchy created the conditions for epshtein: https://substack.com/@nergiz/p-187509057 Why a system of "father rule" can never be caring: https://substack.com/@nergiz/p-165541193

Short answer: patriarchy. Longer answer: society punishes motherhood, underestimates it, and underappreciates it. There is no incentive to be a mother, only cons. It takes a village to raise a child. But now one woman is expected to do it alone, in addition to working in a regular job.

Thank you for sharing. What a tiny world. I wish safety for your family and hope that the war isn’t troubling them too much.

Hi Niv, good to see you too. I go to a shelter (a shared shelter for building residents), similar to yours. I feel mixed feelings (stress, numbness, anger, peace) for various reasons. I live in the north, so we got missiles and drones from both Iran and Hezbollah. While the repulsion of the ballistic missiles can sometimes shake the windows and walls, for some reason the protection feels more hermetic than in the center, maybe because it’s more crowded there.

❤️🙏

Be transparent. You are dating, she may have more serious intentions. Let her make an informed decision before she sleeps with you. Don’t try to control or manipulate the situation to get your favored outcome. This strips her of her right to make an informed decision. Otherwise, she may get hurt/traumatized. Sex is a very risky, intimate, and vulnerable thing, do it consciously. There is nothing masculine about sleeping with women by deluding them into thinking that you are serious when you are not. This is low-conscious behavior. For your information, we are humans, not objects or toys.

I respect whistleblowers. It appears that most of the famous spiritual gurus are famous because they are complicit with the system. I have noticed that they usually gaslight their audience into believing that all their issues stem from a personal failure that they can fix if they only follow their teachings, and that any critic of the system is seen as unwilling to take responsibility for their own life. This is actually what the system that raised those gurus to the top wants us to believe. Many, if not most, human issues are due to systemic failures like poverty, inequality, politics, corruption, patriarchy, capitalism, greed, etc., which those spiritual gurus fail to address deliberately.

Ok. Do you have their contact details? I do want to learn how to communicate with the dead. But in order to communicate with Epstein, I would need to go through an extended course of communication with dead PDF files. Any resources?

Yes, I skip the stuff that I don’t understand or feel comfortable with. There is also a urine therapy technique, which I find weird. There is a yogi in my country who has been using urine therapy for 20+ years (by drinking it and applying it to her skin like a lotion). People mock and criticize her. She looks healthy and good, though.

I’m safe, thank you. This is much appreciated. Luckily, I have a protective space to go to. I also do yoga and breathwork to calm my nervous system down.

@bazera Same. I discovered this book accidentally, didn’t actually expect much, and now my neti pot and I are BFFs.
