@Emerald 'Hungarians were the original people who were behind all the advanced civilizations in the world. In fact, it was Hungarians who taught the Ancient Egyptians how to build the pyramids. And Hungarians used to be the dominant people in the world, until (fill in x group) came and oppressed them and stole credit for all of the things Hungarians created.' I've heard this exact same thing from Hungarians at the church I grew up in. Alot of Hungarians at the Catholic Church are also Nazi sympathizers and long for the days when Hungary gets it's land back it lost after the war.

Just Wow

I'm reading "A Post-Truth World" by Ken Wilber and he seems to be under the impression that Trump, (and Brexit), uses postmodern relativism, where "no truth" exists only egalitarian perspectives. Wilber claims that this shows Trump is at Stage Green that came online in the 1960's (when Trump grew up) and now has come to an unsustainable degenerated madness we see today.

Thanks Leo, yes this seems to be the case but Ken is also saying that Trump is a backlash to green so Im slightly confused about his perspective.

Example of a true conservative here:

Is caring what others think an inadvertent admission that they are superior to you? If you have an argument with a child you quickly forget about it because in your mind it's obvious you're superior to a child and what a child thinks doesn't matter. But when you have an argument that is upsetting for even days after, are you not admitting that that person is superior to you and that it matters what they think?

https://actualized.org/insights/snyder-on-freedom In Leo's blog post about freedom, Leo says Snyder isn't telling about freedom on the existential level. What is existential freedom?

It's an insult used against stage green people.

Is Pete Holmes correct but saying life doesn't make sense?

Is it fair to say that the classes in western societies share similarities with India's caste system?

the Democrats unfairly forced him out (remember he was ahead in the polls before Joe Biden's "miracle" rise?) and eventually screwed the whole party.

Initially spirituality, by @Leo Gura and other sources was calming and helped me be better. Now I'm getting severe anxiety throughout the days, sometimes terror even over existential questions. The forum has already given me great advice which I have followed but I was wondering if these negative aspects of spirituality ever go away? I feel like I'm going crazy and it's very uncomfortable. @Leo Gurayou are one of the smartest ones here and I'm sure you have experience with this, any advice from you? Thanks.

Obviously I quit spirituality for a bit.

I've been getting more and more into spirituality to change myself for the better. In the last few weeks I've been ultra focused on being the observer, and distancing myself from the body (e.g. neti, neti method). I figured that the Neti Neti method would distance myself enough that I could act freely in the world and not be inhibited by fear and old habits. However, I've become unbalanced and feel like I'm going crazy now. I've had to take some time off work due to this (and maybe some burn out too). I haven't done a psychedelic in over a year. My mind races and feels unstable and I'm getting small anxiety attacks about "nothing being real". Other than taking a break from spirituality, and doing normal things like excersizing, socializing, and eating healthy, does anyone have any other advice? My doctor recommended chill pills and antianxiety meds and a psychologist. I don't want to go to the psych ward and I want to get back to work. Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks good to know! I am assuming you got better?

What kind of help are you referring to?

I know I've started a similar thread. But I was wondering if anyone had further advice of this topic? It is just a matter of taking a break, getting excersize, and eating healthy, reducing stress? If anyone has been in a similar situation and knows how to fix the existential crises I would really appreciate it. I really enjoyed actualized.org and spirituality for the past couple years but I think it's not helping anymore. Also I started to experiment with my own methods a little bit but clearly I was doing it wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I read it your post on fear. It's great. Thank you so much

I've been deconstructing and contemplating reality. It's causing severe anxiety. I can't go to a doctor and explain it. Any advice from someone going through similar thing?

Thanks everyone. Will the severe anxiety go away on it own?

Thank you
