I saw @Leo Gura’s blog post about the YouTube channel “whatifalthist”, and since I think it raises crucial issues at many levels, I thought a more extensive conversation on the subject was necessary. First of all, taking into consideration the spiritual insights that he brings to the table, to simply dismiss him as a blue stage reactionary seems like an oversimplification. Sure, his videos are to a certain degree corrupted by a stream of stereotypical and immature right wing ideology but I think this is fundamentally rooted in the complete failure of the modern political zeitgeist, based on leftist politics, to bring any sort of higher order meaning to the collective. Meaning that you don’t have to be a radical conservative ideologue to be dissatisfied with the modern leftist discourse; over the years, we have seen people who identified with the left wing such as Joe Rogan(who, as he stated himself, would’ve been a Bernie Sanders voter a few years back) and Russel Brand suddenly shift poles in terms of their political identification. This, in my estimation, is a sort of Hegelian dynamic, the dialect between the political left and right forming a sort of pendulum where extremes are compensated by antithetical motions of the pendulum swinging in opposite directions and balancing out the collective dynamic. The ideologies of the left went too far and a natural systemic compensation arose, leading masses of people to start leaning on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Therefore, I think that Rudyard is less of a radical right wing ideologue(although he might advertise some radical ideas to pander to a certain audience) but simply another individual who’s dissatisfied with the hollow and spiritually emtpy doctrine of the modern left. Peterson is right to say that old institutions falling away and the West losing its identity and tradition laid the ground for the dissolution of collective identity, meaning and fundamental orientation in the world. And this is a problem that the left simply hasn’t solved. Now, it is a very difficult problem to solve and one I do not think figures such as Peterson are capable of solving, but I do believe that, if listened to closely, thinkers such as whatifalthist might bring something closer to a meaningful answer. My critique of Leo’s commentary on him is that it is overly simplistic. Again, to dismiss Rudyard as a blue reactionary is just too easy. How would you explain the spiritual insights he clearly has? A high level of waking up but a low level of growing up? Perhaps, but in one of his videos(linked below), he mentions Ken Wilber and integral theory, showing an understanding of the developmental nature of consciousness development. Leo himself once said that Lower levels are not aware of the spiral. He might present blue stage ideas yet, he’s still aware of the spiral. How do you explain that? See, Leo always wants to remind people of the complexity of reality, but oftentimes he himself seems to overlook it and oversimplify his arguments especially when it fits his own political biases. Leo often touches on politics, always from a left leaning perspective but he never seems to bring a higher paradigm than the modern left to the discourse. Yes, I’ve watched his videos on conscious politics and am aware of his propositions on world government and a conscious society, yet he rarely speaks from this perspective in the rest of his political opinions. He doesn’t seem to address major problems with the modern left such as the pervasive lack of meaning that it’s paradigm induced in society and too easily dismisses the commentaries of figures such as Peterson(which is not your average conservative or fundamentalist). Also, Leo is a left leaning political thinker, which is fundamentally a relativistic paradigm which offers no higher order solution to the chaos of modernity. Yet, he’s also aware of fundamental spiritual principles underlying the structure reality and by extension, human existence, yet he rarely mentions the role of these principles as far as politics and government goes. A relativistic society is simply not compatible with an awareness of these higher principles. In conclusion, here’s a whatifalthist video that’s pretty solid(although admittedly somewhat corrupted by a certain level of modern day right wing ideology): Watch this video and tell me he’s just another blue level thinker. You simply cannot do that, this is a gross oversimplification. He brings solid point there and even though I might disagree with the use of the term “right” in this context, to conceptualize of a society that honours timeless transcendent principles and traditional moral values in the purpose of reestablishing meaning and order seems to be a hell of a lot better than what we have now as a society and culture. Yes, your spirituality can be tainted by right or left wing biases, but it’s still higher in paradigm than the modern secular left.

Ok well then I have a simple question for you: How do you reconcile the so called blue traditionalist perspective of transcendent principles and fundamental moral order with the turquoise conception of timeless universal principles. Of course, blue morality is generally rigid, dogmatic and made up of bullshit platitudes we don’t wanna hear anymore, BUT how do you explain someone like whatifalthist having genuine awareness of fundamental spiritual truths and being at a blue center of gravity? We’re not talking about a simple blue stage morality here, it’s more complex than that, how do you explain this complexity? Cuz the morality he’s proposing is not simply some blue stage rhetoric, it’s much deeper than that and I don’t know how to reconcile that with turquoise teachings. So how do you? And btw, Peterson was critical of Trump back when it didn’t grease his pockets to praise him, so no, he’s not fundamentally a Trump apologist, he became one when it served his interests.

Hey @Leo Gura, I would want your personal opinion on the WEF. Most of what I see online are right wing capitalists and conservative propagandists blindly reacting to the idea of “globalization” and demonizing this organization. So I wanted a non biased alternative perspective on them and thus came here From what I see from them they seem to be at a green/emergent yellow perspective. They seem to be high up on the spiral and seem to embody the healthy aspects of green. Just like in an individual’s psyche, the disparate parts must come together(through Love) to form a coherent whole, do you think the WEF and their plans of globalization are the doorway towards a greater global unity and a reaching up collectively on the spiral? I heard you speak about the conscious future of humanity being a unified one world government, and the WEF might be a doorway towards this happening. We know what happened in the 20th century with ideologies promoting the dissolution of boundaries(communism) for the greater good, which is representative of the shadow of green, it’s toxic aspect. Could the WEF be the healthy green going into yellow the collective was waiting for, and the prerequisite for a future global turquoise government? Where do you stand on all of this

I remember hearing Leo say that Jordan Peterson might be a stage yellow thinker with a green shadow. I did get the gist of what that meant but without any specific insight into the psyche of Peterson. It’s easy to see that it is the case that he has such a shadow because of his emotional reactions and anger when talking about his postmodern neo-Marxist nightmare but it is another thing to have actual insight into the mechanics of such a shadow. A channel named “The living philosophy” made a video about Peterson that, in 25 minutes, gives you much more information on what’s wrong with J.P than @Leo Gura’s video could in 2+ hours. It is a masterpiece diving in Peterso’s shadow: Did you know that J.P was in a socialist group while in college and that he upheld utopian ideals for society, most likely the kind of ideals he now is a fierce critique of? I also remember him talking with his daughter on a podcast saying how in the same period of his life(college) he had multiple failed relationships. He identified the cause of these failures as his tendency to put his girlfriends on a pedestal. He also has been very opened about his struggles with alcohol, major depression and a lack of order in his life in his early twenties. So what does this tell us about him? We all know the stereotype of the passive, weak, liberal nice guy who upholds such ideas as socialism, feminism etc and who bends over backwards to please females in an effort to be validated. Well it seems like Jordan Peterson in college was exactly this type of guy and that, through a certain psychological process, he became the opposite(through Enantiodromia) of what he was to a certain degree and made a shadow of his past self. So Peterson, appearing as a disciplinarian, capitalist conservative is actually a soft, socialist liberal. In fact, deep down, he’s the very thing he’s fighting. That’s why he straw men’s the progressive type; he couldn’t do otherwise, as he sees his own shadow, his own self projected out of him. When he sees the liberal sjw’s, he is really seeing himself in them, and reacting to them not objectively as they are, but reacting to the contents of his own mind projected outward of himself and onto his environment. If you watch the video, notice how he frames Foucault as a suicidal outcast using his very high IQ to impose his pathological postmodern ideology on others. Well, as stated above, J.P himself has been open about his struggles with severe depression and about the desire that arises to use one’s intellect to acquire power(talking about having to face this temptation himself). He’s a very intellectual type so we can imagine he also was a nerd type of guy, maybe making him an outcast to a certain degree. So when you see him talk about Foucault in the video, replace the name “Foucault”, with “Peterson”, as if he was talking in third person. It’ll make more sense and you’ll see how he’s ultimately talking about himself. So yeah, huge green shadow. It’s sad, he could’ve been such an apex level intellectual without his issues, biases and shadows, yet in the end they held him back from unfolding his true potential. And if you listen to J.P too much and without this context, your mind is gonna be infected by his shadows and pathology, a trap too many have fallen into. Don’t fall into the Peterson trap.

I am sure most of you here are aware of Plato’s allegory of the cave and the shadows on the wall; representative of a state of absorption into illusion and a disconnection from truth, the real world, represented by the sun rays shining in the cavern. Too often, people in communities such as this one become infatuated with big, inflated ideas communicated by charismatic gurus and such figures. They unconsciously absorb worldviews and their whole perspective of reality become filtered through such worldviews, to the point where they encase themselves in a bubble of theories and concepts. They even adopt such ideas as dogma, parroting buzz words and catch phrases they learned from a certain figure, without truly being conscious of who they are as individuals and where they stand. They get absorbed by these ideas, and through such process, become prisoners of a cave, infatuated with shadows on a cave wall, disconnected from the real world and the materiality of things. To live infatuated with external figures and fancy ideas is to be a prisoner, and I suspect that it is the case of many individuals here. Many times, engagement with intellectual subjects is used as a compensation for a lack of ability to properly engage with the world. One thus becomes hyper intellectual as a way of compensating for their failure to properly adapt to the demands of life and allow their egos to become inflated by the highfalutin ideas they engage with, believing themselves to be superior or different from the rest of their human peers. The content that @Leo Gura shares online, as much as I myself like it, is especially dangerous for that kind of projection to happen. It can easily trap individuals into a conceptual world where they feel elevated and superior, while remaining stuck in a cave of conceptual thinking and lack of proper adaptation to actual reality. The ideas that Leo shares act as perfect psychic containers of projections by individuals who start identifying with such ideas. Also, it is important to note that whatever pathology a given guru exhibits, will be transferred unto and picked up by whoever follows such guru, because an identification with a given figure leads to psychological transference of both good and bad aspects of such figure. And we have already seen Leo in the past become highly inflated himself, reaching a point of arrogance that borders on delusion. I acknowledge that he has become aware of it and grew in wisdom throughout the years which is honourable, but the point still remains that being exposed to such content can easily lead maladapted and hyper intellectual individuals into further delusion. Leo’s ideas are exactly the kind that leads to such happening, and I haven’t seen him address this enough. I am not one of those people who will call Leo a cult leader, I am well aware of his work and respects it very much. I know that he has warned his followers throughout the years about certain dangers that I have outlined here but I just think he has failed to PROPERLY and thoroughly address this danger which I believe affects more people here than he may think. That is why below are two videos from depth psychologists speaking about the very same dangers I’ve outlined but with the ideas of Carl Jung. But you could replace “Carl Jung” by “Leo Gura” or any other guru/teacher for that matter:

I get what you’re saying and it is true, most people do live in a cave of some sort. But I wasn’t referring to those people. Notice how people who are ideological and dogmatic can also be properly adapted to physical reality and relate properly to the external world. I was specifically referring to a process by which a socially maladapted individual becomes absorbed by inflationary ideas(ideas that lead to inflation of ego) leading him to lock himself in a conceptual world, remaining stuck in his fantasies while his physical life remains unactualized. Leo speaks about such people. The people who listen to him and his big ideas and concepts while not having any kind of real world success and experience. But from a psychological perspective this issue goes way deeper than I’ve seen him address. It can create serious neurosis to be maladapted to physical reality while engaging with such ideas. And Leo Gura’s ideas are among the most inflationary you could possibly come accross so I wanted to highlight the danger for some people. Hence the videos that I linked, to help individuals in such a situation get out of it. -

Also this video outlines the process of many individuals who engage with inflationary ideas in such a way: -
The following is a short text I came up with on sociological entropy. The concepts I had in mind when I first wrote it were emergent phenomena like crimes rates, different ideological currents overtaking certain societies, the rise and fall of different businesses, corporations, public figures(healthy or toxic) and how their level on the spiral dynamics scale of consciousness is a reflection of the state of the broader collective etc. We see a lot of “green” and even healthy, well meaning, orange and blue people trying to tackle these issues but it always end up being some sort of radical solution or ideological war never going to the root cause of the problem. So here’s a brief summary of how society can get to the bottom of such issues(in the end, only higher levels of consciousness will do it): “From a sociological perspective, we’re only the victims of entropy induced emergent phenomena when we do not have sufficient understanding and awareness of the broader patterns giving rise to said phenomena. Whether at an individual(micro) scale or at a societal(macro) scale, developing an understanding of the patterns of non linear causation can help us break or prevent negative emergent phenomena and induce desired ones. Now obviously, every set of variables in any system can’t possibly be taken into consideration, so entropy, and therefore unwanted emergent phenomena will always occur, but the more we foster an understanding of fundamental natural patterns at different levels of existence the more we can limit the spread of “cancerous” or parasitic archetypal forces. The less conscious an invididual or a society is, the more of a victim it will be to the tides of unseen forces directing its course. The more conscious a system is on the other hand, the more it will be able to act in accordance with the fundamental laws governing the universe and to deliberately steer itself on a more optimal course of being or timeline/field configuration.”

Jesse Lee Peterson is a known political commentator. At first glance he is a clown to be laught at and not someone to be taken seriously. He’s a Christian but just like with most(especially conservative) religious individuals you would expect ideological dogma and pure idiocy but in a new interview that came out you actually can notice that he has some level of spiritual, metaphysical and psychological knowledge. Skip at 34:15 “Forgiveness will set you free”. I think he’s far from truly understanding what he’s saying and even further from actual integration but damn, such knowledge from someone that you would consider a right wing normie. Because what he says relating to forvgiveness of the mother, even though extremely simplified and crude, is very accurate from a psychological and spiritual perspective. It’s way deeper than how he communicates it but even then, he has some grasp of extremely deep concepts while apparently being not very conscious, extremely biased, homophobic etc. Do you,@Leo Gura have any explanation for how some normies having a baseline level of consciousness that is very low, can demonstrate such feats of abstract comprehension. I would’ve never expected such sauce to come out of this man’s mouth this has given me a pretty rough mind fuck. He even speaks about Gods energy being something that brings(even though not in these words) equanimity(which he basically calls peace). He speaks about how Gods energy transcends the neurotic up and downs of the ego and centres you in something more fundamental basically which gives you peace, or what is most commonly referred to in our circles as equanimity. This is extremely deep knowledge that someone like him SHOULD NOT be aware of in the least. What’s going on here?

Knowing that big corporations are at least as powerful as the state, you could ask yourself. Interesting series of documentaries on the subject:

So I am watching the video “is gender a social construct” and even though I agree with @Leo Gura on most of what he says, the blurring of the line between masculine and feminine is a mistake. Of course, there is no definite line and it’s a spectrum, but, masculinity and femininity are fundamental aspects of nature. Now one argument he gave is that, before animals and humans existed, there was no male or female. This is only partially true. The truth is that the principles from which masculinity and femininity emanate from have always existed. The metaphysical principles of expansion and contraction, or the active and passive principles(Yin/Yang) have ALWAYS existed. Of course from the ultimate perspective these dualities are just conveniences that God used to manifest itself into form and to interact with itself and from the absolute perspective no such distinctions exist, but to claim that here, there is nothing fundamental about masculinity and femininity and that these things are nothing but mental constructs is, again, a mistake. There are objective ways into which the female genome and male genome manifest themselves through our behaviour. Even though reality is nuanced and there are masculine woman and feminine men, they are a minority. And even then, notice that an individual either leans more to what we identify as “masculine” or “feminine” or a mix of those but never to some other unknown pattern of behavior. What does that tell us? That these are the primary forces of nature forming this plane of reality that we exist on. Feminine creatures are more passive, nurturing, emotional/intuitive, receptive(Vagina, *being* penetrated) etc. Masculine creatures are more active, grounded, aggressive/forward going, penetrative(Penis, *Doing* the penetration). So a mistake Leo is making is to say that all of these patterns of behavior are subjectively and arbitrarily ascribed to stereotypical and imaginary constructions that we call “Men” and “Woman” for the purpose of survival. There is an aspect of it BUT this is not all there is to it!!!! He seems to forget that DIRECT EXPERIENCE IS KING. There is a difference between the mind/intellect and the instincts(here I am not talking about the big Mind but the rational aspect of the human condition). The instincts are something fundamental that are not created(created by God yes, not socially created) but DIRECTLY felt and experienced regardless of conceptual projections or not. Woman or feminine creatures seek the masculine for (emotional not necessarily financial) stability, security and having a strong pillar acting as a contrast to their chaotic natures. They want a powerful figure of authority and discipline(without him being a tyrant as nobody likes being oppressed which is pathological masculinity). That’s why most woman want to be “taken” and often fantasize about dangerous, tough men and want their man to be taller and stronger than them. Notice that a woman doesn’t want a more emotional men, because according to the law of polarity, there is no magnetic or energetic pull and thus no *attraction*. In the same way men, or masculine individuals, want soft, sweet, nurturing, happy, smiling partners who can calm their incessant desire for conquest, their fire of masculine intensity burning within them. They do not want a strong, independent, tough, dangerous, big partner, for the same reason that feminine individuals do not want feminine partners, because attractions works through opposites and masculinity and femininity happen to be FUNDAMENTAL opposites(that complement each other) of nature. Now of course the healthier solution in both cases is for the feminine to integrate the masculine aspects of her psyche(Animus in Jungian philosophy) and be in a state of cohesion, alignement and balance and for the masculine to integrate the joyful, present, happy and nurturing aspects(Anima) of its consciousness. As Leo once said, the goal is to become both men and woman or balancing both of these energies within ourselves and this is very true. So my point is that these things are not merely social constructs. The fact that a young man wants to drive fast on the highway is not a cultural construct based on an arbitrary projection of expected behaviour, but something that is deep in our nature, fundamentally. In fact, the expectation that men should engage in such behaviors, emerged from our implicit subconscious understanding of our fundamental nature. Our sexual fantasies are also not constructs as they are FELT and directly experienced. There are very definite ways into which the feminine genome strives to survive(being as attractive, sweet and nurturing as possible as to seduce the most powerful and dangerous male of the tribe) and ways into which the masculine genome tries to survive(being as confident, secure, dominant as possible so as to crush opposing masculine competition and gain the best female for reproduction). THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY!!!! Recent waves of feminism and other such modern movements trying to claim that there is absolutely no such things as femininity and masculinity are a tremendous danger to the survival and thriving of the human genome. No matter what kinds of ideas you hold, it doesn’t matter, instincts are there whether you are conscious of them or not. Also my final point would be that, I find @Leo Gura to be disingenuous in his claims simply because he himself is undeniably still run by his hormones and instincts, and no matter what he says about identity(which he is mostly right about from a matter of absolute perspective) he still is run by the most primal aspects of his carnal being. He doesn’t want to be fucked by some woman with a strap on or be taken charge of. He most likely wants to be in control in the bed and take initiative and he doesn’t relate to men the same way he does woman. He wants to fuck woman and has a different kind of relationship with them as he does with men. He also probably doesn’t want to put on a nice dress, make himself all pretty and be picked up by his date who’s gonna open the doors for him and pay dinner, an idea which most likely repels him or at the very least, is simply totally unrealistic to him. It’s not true that masculine or feminine roles are constructed and don’t matter, it’s very real and it’s F-U-N-D-A-M-E-N-T-A-L. So no matter what he says, the activity of the masculine energy is there in him also which deconstructs any claim that masculinity and femininity are constructs. You can’t think your way through relating in such a fundamental way, what you directly experience and feel is what is real, and the feeling is either masculine or feminine. This stuff is deep within the core of your soul, whether you carry a more masculine energy or a more feminine energy.

They overlap. There is no contradiction between them. You seem to have a crude conception of both these things, the only problem is in how you see these concepts. Spirituality is the continuation of self actualization. The purpose of self actualization is the same as individuation in Jungian terms. The purpose of spirituality is the dissolution of the IDENTIFICATION with the individual. But in the natural process of the evolution of your consciousness, spirituality is nothing but a continuation of self actualization. Individuation is a prerequisite to the transcendence of identification with such individuality, they are not opposites, they are part of a continuum. In spiral dynamics, you must go through and burn the karma of previous stages before being properly integrated at a new level of consciousness. So again, they are part of the same process just like an orgasm is the product of the continuation of masturbation, well spirituality is the continuation and emerging product of evolving your consciousness to a certain level. I highly recommend you Leo’s video about burning karma.

No you didn’t properly read what I said. Masculinity and femininity are concepts true, but what is not a concept is what they are POINTING TO. These are not arbitrary constructs, they are constructs as long as they remain in the realm of mind and words. But look at what they are pointing to within yourself. Dont think. Feel. What is your body telling you? What kind of porn do you watch? What kind of sexual fantasies do you have? What do you truly want? If you listen closely and pay attention to your psyche and the message it sends, the answer will be clear and you’ll understand what I mean. Unless you are asexual or something you are like most souls and are under the law of gender. “Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all planes”. What is masculinity? What is femininity? The answers are not found in the rational mind. They are found in the imagination(intuitive aspect of the mind) through fantasies and in our penises and vaginas. FEEL what being a man/woman is. This is fundamental in actual nature, this is God given.

Also this is not coming from some alpha red pill ideologue Andrew Tate type of “Man”. This is coming from someone who embraces more than most the feminine aspects of his psyche like unconditional love, presence, fun etc. In fact I’ve realized you can’t be a true man without that. Integrating the feminine aspects of your psyche even strengthens your masculinity. So this is not some ideological rant of some butt hurt wanna be macho man, I am just expressing my metaphysical knowledge and my concerns of letting behind the divine(integrated, healthy) masculine and the divine feminine and that doing so is a mistake of tremendously dangerous implications. Woman need strong men and men need nurturing woman, there is no going around that and any philosophy trying to deny this simple fact will just contribute to make EVERYBODY more miserable. If you are a serious intellectual, these videos might help you:

Anyone studying the future of the world and where it’s headed to has inevitably come across the World Economic Forum(WEF); This intergovernmental organization that connects the worlds most powerful corporations and government leaders from all major countries. But then the following question arises: Is the WEF an evolution in the progress of humanity or a dangerous organization that we should be worried about. People like Russel Brand and Jordan Peterson have pointed out some of the dangers associated with them from a rational instead of conspiratorial perspective and it can be hard to discern the true nature of the World Economic Forum because of all these good points on both sides: I am wondering what people on this forum and more specifically, what do you, @Leo Gura think about the WEF. Do you see it as a necessary stepping stone in the healthy spiral development of humanity towards a healthy green stage Global Government or do you think it is justified to be worried about it and a possible dystopian China-like future it could impose to the world?
-
Conspiracy theories as they manifested recently with the whole pandemic thing are known to be ridiculous psychotic paranoid speculation. But there is a smarter side to conspiracy theories where, although biased, might contain some value. Russel brand has been a good example of a healthy establishment skeptic. Also this series of videos have some value if you discard the biases. What are your thoughts on this: Try to come from a stage yellow perspective and be detailed.

Provocative title which is only half true. But in this type of communities there’s always a certain number of people getting into self help as a compensation mechanism rather than genuinely doing the true work. For anyone finding themselves in this situation:

The following is a speech made by XI Jinping to the WEF in January 2022: The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. These changes, not limited to a particular moment, event, country or region, represent the profound and sweeping changes of our times. As changes of the times combine with the once-in-a-century pandemic, the world finds itself in a new period of turbulence and transformation. How to beat the pandemic and how to build the post-COVID world? These are major issues of common concern to people around the world. They are also major, urgent questions we must give answers to. As a Chinese saying goes, "The momentum of the world either flourishes or declines; the state of the world either progresses or regresses." The world is always developing through the movement of contradictions; without contradiction, nothing would exist. The history of humanity is a history of achieving growth by meeting various tests and of developing by overcoming various crises. We need to move forward by following the logic of historical progress, and develop by riding the tide of development of our times. Notwithstanding all vicissitudes, humanity will move on. We need to learn from comparing long history cycles, and see the change in things through the subtle and minute. We need to foster new opportunities amidst crises, open up new horizons on a shifting landscape, and pool great strength to go through difficulties and challenges. First, we need to embrace cooperation and jointly defeat the pandemic. Confronted by the once-in-a-century pandemic, which will affect the future of humanity, the international community has fought a tenacious battle. Facts have shown once again that amidst the raging torrents of a global crisis, countries are not riding separately in some 190 small boats, but are rather all in a giant ship on which our shared destiny hinges. Small boats may not survive a storm, but a giant ship is strong enough to brave a storm. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the international community, major progress has been made in the global fight against the pandemic. That said, the pandemic is proving a protracted one, resurging with more variants and spreading faster than before. It poses a serious threat to people's safety and health, and exerts a profound impact on the global economy. Strong confidence and cooperation represent the only right way to defeat the pandemic. Holding each other back or shifting blame would only cause needless delay in response and distract us from the overall objective. Countries need to strengthen international cooperation against COVID-19, carry out active cooperation on research and development of medicines, jointly build multiple lines of defense against the coronavirus, and speed up efforts to build a global community of health for all. Of particular importance is to fully leverage vaccines as a powerful weapon, ensure their equitable distribution, quicken vaccination and close the global immunization gap, so as to truly safeguard people's lives, health and livelihoods. China is a country that delivers on its promises. China has already sent over two billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations. Still, China will provide another one billion doses to African countries, including 600 million doses as donation, and will also donate 150 million doses to ASEAN countries. Second, we need to resolve various risks and promote steady recovery of the world economy. The world economy is emerging from the depths, yet it still faces many constraints. The global industrial and supply chains have been disrupted. Commodity prices continue to rise. Energy supply remains tight. These risks compound one another and heighten the uncertainty about economic recovery. The global low inflation environment has notably changed, and the risks of inflation driven by multiple factors are surfacing. If major economies slam on the brakes or take a U-turn in their monetary policies, there would be serious negative spillovers. They would present challenges to global economic and financial stability, and developing countries would bear the brunt of it. In the context of ongoing COVID-19 response, we need to explore new drivers of economic growth, new modes of social life and new pathways for people-to-people exchange, in a bid to facilitate cross-border trade, keep industrial and supply chains secure and smooth, and promote steady and solid progress in global economic recovery. Economic globalization is the trend of the times. Though countercurrents are sure to exist in a river, none could stop it from flowing to the sea. Driving forces bolster the river's momentum, and resistance may yet enhance its flow. Despite the countercurrents and dangerous shoals along the way, economic globalization has never and will not veer off course. Countries around the world should uphold true multilateralism. We should remove barriers, not erect walls. We should open up, not close off. We should seek integration, not decoupling. This is the way to build an open world economy. We should guide reforms of the global governance system with the principle of fairness and justice, and uphold the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its center. We should make generally acceptable and effective rules for artificial intelligence and digital economy on the basis of full consultation, and create an open, just and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological innovation. This is the way to make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all, and to fully unleash the vitality of the world economy. A common understanding among us is that to turn the world economy from crisis to recovery, it is imperative to strengthen macro-policy coordination. Major economies should see the world as one community, think in a more systematic way, increase policy transparency and information sharing, and coordinate the objectives, intensity and pace of fiscal and monetary policies, so as to prevent the world economy from plummeting again. Major developed countries should adopt responsible economic policies, manage policy spillovers, and avoid severe impacts on developing countries. International economic and financial institutions should play their constructive role to pool global consensus, enhance policy synergy and prevent systemic risks. Third, we need to bridge the development divide and revitalize global development. The process of global development is suffering from severe disruption, entailing more outstanding problems like a widening North-South gap, divergent recovery trajectories, development fault-lines and a technological divide. The Human Development Index has declined for the first time in 30 years. The world's poor population has increased by more than 100 million. Nearly 800 million people live in hunger. Difficulties are mounting in food security, education, employment, medicine, health and other areas important to people's livelihoods. Some developing countries have fallen back into poverty and instability due to the pandemic. Many in developed countries are also living through a hard time. No matter what difficulties may come our way, we must adhere to a people-centered philosophy of development, place development and livelihoods front and center in global macro-policies, realize the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and build greater synergy among existing mechanisms of development cooperation to promote balanced development worldwide. We need to uphold the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, promote international cooperation on climate change in the context of development, and implement the outcomes of COP26 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Developed economies should take the lead in honoring their emissions reduction responsibilities, deliver on their commitment of financial and technological support, and create the necessary conditions for developing countries to address climate change and achieve sustainable development. Last year, I put forward a Global Development Initiative at the UN General Assembly to draw international attention to the pressing challenges faced by developing countries. The Initiative is a public good open to the whole world, which aims to form synergy with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and boost common development across the world. China stands ready to work with all partners to jointly translate the Initiative into concrete actions and make sure that no country is left behind in this process. Fourth, we need to discard Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and win-win outcomes. Our world today is far from being tranquil; rhetorics that stoke hatred and prejudice abound. Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm, not the least good, to world peace and security. History has proved time and again that confrontation does not solve problems; it only invites catastrophic consequences. Protectionism and unilateralism can protect no one; they ultimately hurt the interests of others as well as one's own. Even worse are the practices of hegemony and bullying, which run counter to the tide of history. Naturally, countries have divergences and disagreements between them. Yet a zero-sum approach that enlarges one's own gain at the expense of others will not help. Acts of single-mindedly building "exclusive yards with high walls" or "parallel systems", of enthusiastically putting together exclusive small circles or blocs that polarize the world, of overstretching the concept of national security to hold back economic and technological advances of other countries, and of fanning ideological antagonism and politicizing or weaponizing economic, scientific and technological issues, will gravely undercut international efforts to tackle common challenges. The right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Different countries and civilizations may prosper together on the basis of respect for each other, and seek common ground and win-win outcomes by setting aside differences. We should follow the trend of history, work for a stable international order, advocate common values of humanity, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. We should choose dialogue over confrontation, inclusiveness over exclusion, and stand against all forms of unilateralism, protectionism, hegemony or power politics. Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, Last year, the Communist Party of China (CPC) celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. Through a century of tenacious struggle, the CPC has rallied and led the Chinese people in accomplishing remarkable achievements in the advancement of the nation and betterment of people's lives. We have realized a moderately prosperous society in all respects and won the battle against poverty, both according to plan, and found a historic solution to ending absolute poverty. Now, China is marching on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects. -- China will stay committed to pursuing high-quality development. The Chinese economy enjoys a good momentum overall. Last year, our GDP grew by around eight percent, achieving the dual target of fairly high growth and relatively low inflation. Shifts in the domestic and international economic environment have brought tremendous pressure, but the fundamentals of the Chinese economy, characterized by strong resilience, enormous potential and long-term sustainability, remain unchanged. We have every confidence in the future of China's economy. "The wealth of a country is measured by the abundance of its people." Thanks to considerable economic growth, the Chinese people are living much better lives. Nonetheless, we are soberly aware that to meet people's aspiration for an even better life, we still have much hard work to do in the long run. China has made it clear that we strive for more visible and substantive progress in the well-rounded development of individuals and the common prosperity of the entire population. We are working hard on all fronts to deliver this goal. The common prosperity we desire is not egalitarianism. To use an analogy, we will first make the pie bigger, and then divide it properly through reasonable institutional arrangements. As a rising tide lifts all boats, everyone will get a fair share from development, and development gains will benefit all our people in a more substantial and equitable way. -- China will stay committed to reform and opening-up. For China, reform and opening-up is always a work in process. Whatever change in the international landscape, China will always hold high the banner of reform and opening-up. China will continue to let the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, and see to it that the government better plays its role. We will be steadfast in consolidating and developing the public sector, just as we are steadfast in encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector. We will build a unified, open, competitive and orderly market system, where all businesses enjoy equal status before the law and have equal opportunities in the marketplace. All types of capital are welcome to operate in China in compliance with laws and regulations, and play a positive role for the development of the country. China will continue to expand high-standard opening-up, steadily advance institutional opening-up that covers rules, management and standards, deliver national treatment for foreign businesses, and promote high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. With the entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) on 1 January this year, China will faithfully fulfill its obligations and deepen economic and trade ties with other RCEP parties. China will also continue to work for the joining of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA), with a view to further integrating into the regional and global economy and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. -- China will stay committed to promoting ecological conservation. As I have said many times, we should never grow the economy at the cost of resource depletion and environmental degradation, which is like draining a pond to get fish; nor should we sacrifice growth to protect the environment, which is like climbing a tree to catch fish. Guided by our philosophy that clean waters and green mountains are just as valuable as gold and silver, China has carried out holistic conservation and systematic governance of its mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands and deserts. We do everything we can to conserve the ecological system, intensify pollution prevention and control, and improve the living and working environment for our people. China is now putting in place the world's largest national parks system. Last year, we successfully hosted COP15 to the Convention on Biological Diversity, contributing China's share to a clean and beautiful world. Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality are the intrinsic requirements of China's own high-quality development and a solemn pledge to the international community. China will honor its word and keep working toward its goal. We have unveiled an Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, to be followed by implementation plans for specific sectors such as energy, industry and construction. China now has the world's biggest carbon market and biggest clean power generation system: the installed capacity of renewable energy has exceeded one billion kilowatts, and the construction of wind and photovoltaic power stations with a total installed capacity of 100 million kilowatts is well under way. Carbon peak and carbon neutrality cannot be realized overnight. Through solid and steady steps, China will pursue an orderly phase-down of traditional energy in the course of finding reliable substitution in new energy. This approach, which combines phasing out the old and bringing in the new, will ensure steady economic and social development. China will also actively engage in international cooperation on climate and jointly work for a complete transition to a greener economy and society

Elliot Hulse has a strong spiritual intuition and a good sense of how to navigate life. The following are my notes on a series of shorts he made on YouTube some time ago. It’s really the fundamental formula for success in any endeavour but it’s from the perspective of the highest endeavour, which is spiritual work. I also tweaked it a little so it’s higher consciousness than the original ideas of Elliot, I expounded on them: 5 Steps to create momentum in your life 1-Know Thyself You must thoroughly know yourself in the deepest sense before attempting to create momentum in life or else you’ll just plant bad seeds and accumulate negative karma, soul ties etc. 2-Soul Goals vs Lower Goals Soul goals are goals that are in alignement with the deepest desire of your soul or your fundamental line of development and what has been anticipated by your spirit as the highest expression of your self. Lower goals are selfish objectives that are a distraction from the fundamental mission that has been given to you by the Gods. After having a thorough knowledge of yourself you are now aware of the objectives you need to set in order for your destiny to unfold in the way it was anticipated for you. Beware of lower goals and know that complete denial of them is also not the key. Once you are grounded in that which is highest you can also enjoy the lower and in fact in can help you transcend even more because by consciously engaging in the lower you burn through karma and fulfill the desires of your lower nature. 3-Reorganize People, places and things People, places, things & habits that are in the way of you reaching your highest potential must be either edited and reorganized or completely cut off from your life in order for your life force to align completely with the task at hand. Anything that is a distraction is robbing you of energy(spiritual warfare), an energy that could’ve been put to use on what’s important. Life force must be aligned through the chakras and external situations must also be reorganized in a way that fits your new aligned self. Past circumstances and situations created out of past karma and unalignement must be broken down in order to make place for the new. 4-Structure your days to be most productive You need to create structure in your day and learn to flow within that structure so you never get stuck. Set aside blocks of time in your days where you are going to perform a certain task to bring you closer to your goals but don’t be attached to when you are going to do it; as long as it gets done. The perfect balance(between the 2 pillars?) must be it. You need structure but you also need to flow within that structure. Too much flow = disorder. Too much structure makes it impossible to properly adapt and live life. Learn to balance. 5-Create momentum within the structure Once you established the desired structure and learned to flow into it now you need to maintain momentum and repeat each day so you can reap the fruits of your investments. Prioritize momentum over perfection. Momentum is more important than perfection because as long as you keep going you’ll finally get where you wanna be.

So I do not mean to generalize and say that the whole left is “crazy”, but the most radical ideologues on the left are surely gaining more and more influence in society to a degree that is not only negative but potentially dangerous. I am coming to this understanding after the months of witnessing crazy political propaganda, cancel culture, transgender activists and their extreme and ridiculous claims etc. What was before a harmless minority is becoming more and more powerful and this madness is coming from the left. Look at all the people that have had their social media accounts terminated for “hate speech” for example. If only this only concerned crazy conspiracy theorists but it is not the case. All of you should be well aware of the Twitter files that Elon musk leaked. They(old Twitter) were in direct contact with the government to suppress any opinion that was going against the mainstream narrative about(among other things) vaccines; even expert advice. Goes to show that this whole thing was never about intellectual objectivity and scientific accuracy but about a moralistic agenda being perpetrated, a new religion of the politically correct and moral thing to do, based on ideology not facts. Even legit arguments against the mainstream narrative like evidence for side effects were shut down. Again, history repeats itself, humans have always adopted mass ideologies, emotionally attached themselves to these ideas and crucifying people who are going against these ideas. Blind, unconscious survival and dogmatic consciousness pushing humans to destroy what they deem different. Human beings caught in between polarities and needing to divide everything meanwhile everything is part of the same spectrum. If vaccine side effects are proven to exist it is not necessary to deem that “against” anything but to take that as part of the puzzle in our collective battle against a common enemy(COVID), and THIS is TRUE collectivism(Green) but this is not what happened. There were even some people wanting unvaccinated people to do PRISON TIME. And now I just see this tweet: People are being FIRED for their ideas and political opinions. Again, this doesn’t only happen to legitimately dangerous ideologues, it happens to people who are merely AGREEING with a fucking political opinion. This is absolute madness, a madness that is being perpetrated by the far left who, who would’ve thought, is gaining more and more power in mainstream institutions. These far left ideologies are a cultural parasite infecting society and spreading pretty fucking far. When people are being tracked by who knows what mechanism and fired for merely agreeing with someone who is not in alignement with the mainstream political identity of the west you know there’s a big fucking problem. Being fired means not being able to pay your bills or feed yourself. This should be taken seriously. This parasite has gone far enough that it has the power to ruin peoples lives. And what about the clowns that tried to take away his “Doctor” title to JP? And one of the only problems I have with @Leo Gura is that he only speaks about the far right and their conspiracy theories which are, indeed, pathological, but he never says a word about the absolute madness being perpetrated by the far left which is becoming at least equal of a danger to society than ideas related to the far right. We can rightfully say that if conspiracy theories, racism, hate speech etc have infected society, political correctness, pseudo moralistic madness, LGBTQ propaganda and pseudo collectivism/socialism has at least equally corrupted our society, and the worst part is that they infiltrated the institutions and the Governing bodies, the very institutions we are dependent on for our very SURVIVAL. So what now, if you just happen to commit the horrible sin of agreeing with evil Jordan Peterson on YouTube you can lose your FUCKING LIVELIHOOD??? What is this. This doesn’t sound like inclusive socialism at that point but to oppressive communism China style. The complete eradication of individual identity in order for the collective ideology to thrive; and anybody not aligning with the collective being totally destroyed. What the fuck is that? It’s absolutely fucking preposterous! I love Leo for, on one hand, calling out the matrix and also, on the other hand, not buying in bullshit anti-mainstream conspiracy theories like so many so called “spiritual” people; but at the same time were is the genius of Leo Gura when it comes to calling out the madness of the radical aspect of the political side he’s adhering to? This is where self bias goes too far because failing to acknowledge that the far left is a dangerous ideological parasite is just intellectual dishonesty especially when you have reached the highest the levels of intellectual development for a human being. Just as conspiracy theories needed an intervention, so too does the radical left deserves a deep breakdown of the pathological psychological processes that are giving rise to such cultural viruses of the mind. Because yes there is deep psychological reasons as to why these sort of ideological currents exist, yes they are pathological(Evil/Devil/Separation etc) and yes you can analytically break them down and offer a healthier(Godlike) alternative just like with conspiracy theories and the like. And if you are not gonna make a 2 hour video about it you can at least make a brief blogpost about the toxic psychology and the micro-macro dangers of the perpetuation of these ideas which would be helpful to society, something I haven’t seen @Leo Gura doing. How can you “despise” the politics of Jordan Peterson but not despise this madness that we’ve been witnessing for the past couple of years, a madness that is becoming all too influential in this culture. This bullshit is NOT healthy green stage spiral dynamics level of consciousness. This is a distorted, corrupted, evil, unintegrated and wounded green, and this sort of green can quickly turn into communist oppression and God knows what. Leo should’ve been calling this shit out.

The west is falling. REPENT!!! -
A highly technical psycho-Bio-Social analysis of current global affairs. It explains the main problems faced by humanity in a multi-perspectival systematic way bringing biology, psychology and sociology and politics together. It’s a deep explanation of the psychological processes that are involved in current events such as projection, ideological possession etc. They then root these psychological processes as manifestations of frustrated instincts and unaligned genomic potential. The human ego interfering with fundamental instincts misfires the libido(life force in Jungian terms not referring solely to sexual energy) and the product of this misfiring is different ideologies and psychological projections on Godforms which nowadays take the form of politicians which embody certain archetypes that trigger aspects of individual’s psychology which is itself affected by the genome or deepest levels of human existence. They also connect present day events to ancient ones making parallels and pointing to the repeating patterns across history and where we might end up if humanity repeats the same mistakes.

Of course he was unstable that’s what the earlier stages of awakening do. And of course he fell in traps people fall into when they are just getting into it…he was doing just that; getting into it. My thing is that, as unstable as he was he was not crazy like most normies write under his videos. He was not “gone”, he was consciously transforming. I just recommend you watch his video “escaping the cult of bodybuilding the full story” completely if you haven’t. It’ll probably explain many things and fill many wholes like it did for me.
-
My friend, if you followed the whole thing then you are aware that the beginning of everything is his “mental breakdown” in 2020, the famous video of him in his apartment and then faking his death and “resurrection”. The way he planned his 3 day stay(which ended up being 14 due to legislative bs) in a mental hospital was absolutely genius. He called the cops on himself etc. At the very beginning you see him throwing one of his old shirts, saying “bye old me” and other things signifying the death of an old life for the birth of a new one. This video is a good example: He knew what he was doing since the very beginning the purpose was the destruction of his inhibiting public persona, quitting profane existence for the beginning of a spiritual one. So of course he was mentally unstable(spiritual awakening does that every single time it’s the nature of it) but he wasn’t mentally ill. He knew what he was doing. For the new to be born the old must die and of course his old illusions were so solidly rooted in his psyche because of the crazy amount of attention he received for shallow acts of exhibition and the whole ego he created around all of that. Bear in mind that Connor was a normal dude so OF FUCKING COURSE an awakening would make him unstable and blow his mind, make him question his whole existence and force him to realign his life with the truths he had now discovered. We life in a society were people are constantly limiting themselves to pathological degrees and an aspect of awakening is realizing the irrational, aggressive and intense nature of subconscious contents. The destruction of the persona and the arising to consciousness of previously buried contents brings about instability every time because the foundations of the psyche must be destroyed in order for new order to be created. So the poor guy realized all of this and became unstable but not crazy. He planned his escape from the prison that was his old conditioned existence and he succeeded brilliantly. Sheep’s and normies will obviously call him crazy because they didn’t had these realizations but I would expect a much more precise and sharp understanding of the whole picture coming from people who are supposed to be seekers of the divine path. So I think that we agree that he was mentally unstable but I say it’s normal. Of course he was for reasons that I detailed. But people claiming he was having a psychotic break and batshit crazy are stupid. He definitely was not and all in all, it was pretty much all logically structured. What we witnessed with Connor murphy is the destruction of a false self, an awakening and the work of God within a profane human who redeemed himself beautifully. He destroyed his reputation for the sake of truth and liberation. He did gods work. He should be an example for everybody who’s on this path as someone who had great courage and did the right thing instead of perpetuating a lie for comforts sake.

@Leo Gura you seem to be ignorant of Connor’s journey. You spread the false rumours of him being mentally ill etc. Whether he’s been diagnosed with bipolar this I don’t know but when it comes to his “madness episode” of last year faking his death etc that was part of his personal myth we could say. It was part of his journey of self conquest. He was suffocated by his ego and lack of meaning induced by his shallow lifestyle and he had legit awakenings that he may not have been ready for that lead him down a path of destroying his public persona and freeing himself of shyness and other inhibitions. For normies to mistake this chapter of his life as him being clinically insane is understandable but YOU should know better. If you actually hear him talk it shows that he’s been very rational and that most of what he did had been consciously planned out. You don’t plan something like that if you’re crazy as madness implies a lack of rational deliberation. He explained everything here:
