Ah, yes. I remember addressing this in my previous insight about Human Love. Thank you for the reminder

Aha! This makes sense now. I was about to correct your logic, Leo. However, in basing my original argument, I was focused only on seeing the question as being about someone who has no money or connections or crazy charisma. In this limited sense, my argument would have been valid. Then I re-read the question more holistically and critically and realized I missed an important detail: a normal person. Wow! I could not have taught this style of critical thinking in academia or by watching mainstream news passively and myopically. In those bubbles, everyone inside the bubble acts very biased; zooming in on a limited aspect that they favor (as I originally was about to before I caught myself). We’re conveniently blocking out important context and details when we hyper-fixate in this manner, which then informs our positions, projections, and a host of other problems. This kind of distorted mentality isn’t just applicable with world news; it also has affects other areas of our life as well, such as intimate relationships!

Let’s see what Google Bard thinks, hmmm… Bard coming in… with both a smart and dumb response in one! What I found smart about Bard’s response is it first asks itself, “What is a murderer?”. But then Bard butchers the rest of the response

It’s like a forest fire spinning out of control.

Focus on discovering truth for yourself. Everything else will fall in its place. Trying to fix others can actually make their situation worse when you are doing it from a biased and selfish way. If you can become aware of bias and selfishness in yourself, you’re on the right path. If you outright deny it, then you are only fooling yourself.

Fantastic. That means I can be naive about human nonsense.

I honestly am learning to stop caring about who is right and who is wrong. It’s all just games

I am super sensitive since I was a child. Someone could be joking or even talking about someone else in an offensive way, yet I take it personally. What I am learning to do is realize that people are projecting their own bias onto the world. It has nothing to do with you. It may feel that way, but learn to sit with the discomfort and allow them to have their own opinions without needing to change it or analyze what they said. Humans say stupid shit 24/7. 24/6 if you’re a Catholic, apparently

My style of communicating with others is seeing how others are myself. I have a lot of animosity towards people, so clearly I have a lot of animosity towards myself. Awareness is key to letting go of hatred.

You are holding onto suppressed pain. Let it go and allow the pain to communicate itself in however it wants to

Laugh at how cray cray humanity is

You can raise your consciousness to relate to others on a deeper level.

It’s truly amazing how the deeper you get into this work, the more frequent you’ll experience awakenings. Even the very subtle awakenings are becoming a beauty to bask in. As I’m typing this comment, I’m experiencing increased awareness and connection to others (who are me, of course). This experience, just half a year ago, would have made me call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. And I’ve only begun to scratch the surface! Life is beautiful.

Observe conflict within yourself and notice how terrible you treat yourself and other people. In subtle and obvious ways

I literally applied some about an hour ago. Weird!

Giving up desires is silly. You can learn to make more values-based decisions in your life rather than chasing desires that, in the long-term, keep you stuck in sorrow and regret.

Very inspiring! I also live with disability and am learning to go beyond my limits. Thank you for sharing.

Damn, the universe itself has confirmed some breaking news. This is a scientific breakthrough!!

Thank you for sharing. I’ve always been in abusive relationships, and so has my mother. It has been really challenging to overcome, and still something that’s being worked on. I am getting better at it nowadays thanks to psychedelics and being more authentic with myself.

Explained here:

What you want is connection. If your connection is solely based on what others can give you to make you happy, then you’re going to run into a lot of problems down the road. You will be empowered when you make decisions based on your own intuition, rather than someone else telling you what to do. Do you really want to be a puppet on strings being controlled all the time? Learn to make challenging decisions in your life that suck in the short-term, but will make you more empowered and free in the long-term.

Notice how biased you are when it comes to your survival benefits. For example, if you want to become enlightened, then you need to find enlightened people to learn from. If you want a hot girlfriend, you’re going to seek the hottest women and completely ignore anyone who is below your standards. Do you not see how selfish you are?

Certain standards that are coming from outside of you; that were indoctrinated onto you. You believe that if you reach someone else’s standards then you’ll be happy. Don’t you see the problem with this?

To be finite is to make distinctions and have biases, so that’s how you’ll view reality. The consequence is needing one thing over another thing. For example, alone vs. together right vs. wrong us vs. them me vs. you certainty vs. uncertainty absolute vs. relative real vs. imaginary Contemplate what makes one better than another and how it fits your survival strategy.

There comes a point where absolute = relative. There’s no difference. Of course, for the sake of human conversation, this seems absurd and wrong… but from the absolute point of view, it makes perfect sense. When I experienced the Godhead, I didn’t have to leave my previous existence or ideas about God to get there. It wasn’t like running a marathon and reaching a finish line (which requires time and space). All your left with is pure understanding of reality. There was never a “you” attaining anything. Complete selflessness and free from all biases.
