Well timed in light of the post just above, vice versa... I guess. And I guess a part of me to remind others of the vocabulary behind 'goodness'. It's as simple as the Star Wars analogy I've brought up before, but its also... Just as difficult in truly being self honest about, much less, achieving. How do I become a better practitioner? How do I become a better teacher? How do I become a better learner? How do I become a greater master?

Excellent. You're moving in the right direction, but if its okay I have some refinements to suggest. The nature of evil is that it is designed to try and convince you it doesn't exist, which is why you see some of the most evil people in spirituality, self-deluded in ideas like 'non-duality' which only provide a microcosm of the macrocosm of the truth of the nature of 'evil' vs 'good'. If you change 'casino' to 'devil' and 'poker machines' as 'free-for-all' with 'no consequences', you'll now understand why believing that 'evil' doesn't 'exist' is so... addictive. I think that analogy will really help people more easily make the connection between how common ignorance and common deniability of evil go hand in hand as not merely a psychological bias, but upwards of an entirely independent consciousness state that non-figuratively blocks consciousness from being able to make the simplest of distinctions between good and evil. Because accuracy requires so much subtlety between emotion, thought and the modelling of the multiplicity of empathic to sovereign realities, most people fail with either a smile of deception or a cry of fear they cannot see becomes their own demise, however short-lived. There's nothing wrong with 'sex', 'money' or 'power' intrinsically, the problem is that the authentic true way of doing them in alignment with the universe is far more difficult, requiring greater contemplation, awareness, modelling, emotional and social intelligence. And a sense a humour along the way as you side-step all the skeletons that have failed, including alternate versions of yourself that represent possible different life paths you could have taken had you had either more or less awareness, with the former, being the best kept secret by the ego, it neither enjoys confronting the 'better' it could have been nor untangling itself from the deceptions wrapped up in too much regret; it hates the simplicity and will call it archaic but it also hates the complexity of the extra objectivity that's required in that subjectivity and will call it over-intellectualism. People are neither responsible nor blameless, and its difficult to traverse that reality for most, something of which, they are responsible and blameless for again. Discrimination of perception in the balance of not just awareness but possessing the sensory spectrum that's not only in touch with feeling, emotion and its origins but a cognitive spectrum that can model experience to abstraction in the divide between world and self is integral when it comes to traversing this journey alone or in few numbers. In greater numbers, people at the very least have protective bubbles, however because often these bubbles form divided against one another, we have often have 'good against evil' with the opposing side always being the one that's trying to tear down the flag of an aligned universe with the home team. Many people even make it this far in their observations, but like I said, end with a self-deceiving smile that only takes them so far perhaps believing themselves to have 'transcended' and above others even though they're still living the humble lives we're all living just from different vantage points, our role in living out our lives as 'human' remains the same. There is no 'superior source' wit h 'god', there is just greater alignment, where 'alignment' becomes the only reliable vantage point in 'defining' what 'god' is', being the natural order of the universe that follows the best of patterns in the balance of order over chaos, and that's in every omission of a utilitarian nature, but not without utilitarian cause. As organ (heart, brain, gut) to experience is the fundamental alignment. Thus it isn't theory of the universe that autocorrects and aligns our nature more than it is the same simplicity we share among all of us in organ to energy, that may take different 'physical outcomes' as long as it is arising from the same 'intentionality' from enough quality energetic vantage points that binds us together. People with a less developed sensory perception on their energetic experience but are more cognitively focused often look at outcomes more than they do what makes those outcomes incidental, so they cannot develop a coherent theory of responsibility because missing integral pieces they cannot even self-perceive in themselves; satanism in its traditional self-representation is typical of this, in fact this omission is how they distinguish themselves from religion and they do it by comparing themselves with the extremes of religion rather than its balanced views, another trick of the devil of their own making. And that's the biggest trick of all to unravel, the devil comes through the individual, it's not external, which is what makes it such a hard deception to break the crest to and why therefore many people need religions even at their very naive ends, because at least it provides them rituals which generally do grant them greater levels of safety; prayer, principles, a god for a centre of focus, etc. Because 'devil' comes through them, so too then does 'god', most have no idea that both are their own natures though, they're just activating their nervous system in alignment with higher or lower consciousness. Religion becomes about 'winning the inner competition' against the aspects of themselves they haven't yet bridged enough awareness to integrate, thus 'religion' becomes a necessary stage of consciousness that without, we would fall into endless chaos as ignorance reigns, inclusive of all the pitfalls of false cognitive superiority, as we as a species have not yet developed our sentience beyond a consciousness threshold in which there's the awareness to integrate those disparate realities. A darkened heart, an angered gut, however simple it sounds has direct impacts on the heights of complexity of a consciousness, religion provides healthy and unhealthy crossroads for people that haven't developed their intelligence to the level that make the emotional and greater energetic needs self-organising. Religion provides an externalised feedback point by which consciousness is able to self-measure its full apparatus against a cognitive model of reality that comes in complete form, however 'incomplete' either its true parameters or the teaching of those and subsequent interpretations; there are no 'engineering' classes on religion unfortunately, there are just ironically, political sermons. In order to truly reach an accurate self-measure though weighed against the universe, consciousness must be able to self-order its own patterns of being and become its own internal authority. However not only is society predicated on externalising self-feedback and creating status hierarchies in the ordering of those with perceived authority in doing so as a self-reinforcing loop on that externalisation. Its very rise in consciousness in being able to do so is predicated on an opposite pattern while at the same time, our growing reinforced false individuality that cloaks itself as a subsequent false true sovereignty in the west for example, creates a narcissism that works in the exact opposite direction. Thereby making traditional religion in today's modern age not only a stepping stone onto something more advanced that requires higher self-awareness to achieve but also an ironic necessary 'evil' and pivotal goodness for personal development that the rationalists need and that the overly indoctrinated religious must become more rationally above in order to truly grow. In witnessing the devil as an infinite maze of cunning deceptions arising from within Santiago, you've confronted a universal truth. That evil thrives by ensnaring our minds in layers of lies that masquerade as power or pleasure to mask the absence of the power and pleasure in 'love in universe' and 'universe in love' they haven't learned how to integrate to a higher consciousness level. Symbolically to literally, Christ’s victory over this labyrinth wasn’t blind faith but fierce discernment, a capacity to pierce every illusion, from sexual temptation to worldly ambition, and see the manipulator behind them. This starts by simply learning to understand the workings of communication between the areas of our own universe and the cells of information that bind them together to perceive the realities of the universe and through its illusions. Religion can be a crucial scaffold for those unready to navigate lower states of consciousness alone but genuine sovereignty demands a vigilant self-inquiry that neither denies evil nor cowers before it and instead acknowledges it as an integral to their self-vocabulary at increasingly higher levels. Shadow work for example, another case study whereby one can analyse the justification of evil through a misinterpretation of their own psyche by simplistically categorising those acknowledge evil as therefore those that 'deny their own shadow'. In fact at its healthiest end as we're learning together in this comment, its by its full confrontation and integration of consciousness to higher-states, a 'compression' of energy that in its restriction grows the full force of freedom in light, hence why 'darker' is connected with lower states of consciousness and 'lighter' higher states as well as both being self-reinforcement loops because when you're 'darker' the self-deceptions that grow from them feed on one another in the same way that the desire for clarity on the nervous system on the opposite end continually seeks to 'self-clarify', another reason why religion is both pivotal and just a stepping stone. Without religion, if you're at a level of basic philosophical advancement whereby you recognise the connection between values of integrity, nervous system functioning and physical action you'll be able to appreciate how integrating the value centric nature of religion like empathy, reason and humility can teach you to take the good in helping you to discern the greater good along your path without judging what remains an integral piece that at the same time, requires the same discernment in its ridicule as it does in its acknowledgement if the people on both and many sides of the equation, are able to be helped towards the self-ordering of their own inner light. @Santiago Ram and others that have found the path or nearing, albeit less trained at this stage I hope my own improvisation here I did a few years back inspires you along which I have graduated from since:

Be Good. It's your universal alignment, in accuracy.

@VeganAwake If evil is a fiction, does harm cease to exist? Suffering is real, regardless of belief. Calling morality an illusion is just another belief, one that evades accountability. The question isn’t who created evil, but who takes responsibility when harm is done? Dismissing it changes nothing. Your philosophy so far, is still very child like, you haven’t stretched past the corridors of naivety where there are still many doors waiting for you to explore. Everyone is here to learn so at least you re engaging, I am teaching.

@VeganAwake You’re conflating a lack of a higher force with a lack of harm or morality. Harm is not contingent on belief, it’s experienced. Without a divine standard, suffering still holds weight, and human morality arises from consequence, not divine endorsement. If reality itself can cause harm, then its absence or presence of a higher force doesn’t erase the moral weight of actions. Rejecting a higher power doesn't invalidate real-world consequences.

Career/Life Passion Passion is fire. Intentionality fuels it. Once the feedback loop is established, adherence is essential for sustainability. Aligning with your intentions creates a learning loop: refining awareness, nurturing emotional responses, and generating creative momentum. The physics of passion demand constant attention to subtle emotional triggers, those to reinforce and those to overcome. Purpose and meaning provide oxygen, expanding the fire. Without this disciplined adhesion to the cycle, the fire burns out. True mastery lies in the intentional, cyclical nurturing of passion through a well-thought out consciously modelled learning loop, where each moment’s response feeds the next phase of creative growth, expanding the experiential wisdom of the learning loop on career/life passion every single day because of this disciplined adherence. Study passion. Imagine its physics and analogy to fire. See how the weather and natural regression vs progression alters the patterns of the fire, and in return, career/life motivation. --- Fire < > Passion, it's a literal connection not figurative. The differences are artificial and the abstract similarities teach you precisely how to become incredibly motivated in the subsequent engineering of mind to nervous system. Learning Review Questions: How can you map the principles of fire’s physics (fuel, oxygen, heat, sustainability) directly onto the mechanics of career/life passion? In your career/life passion, how can intentionality evolve into the energy that keeps your fire burning, and what specifically shifts when you align or misalign with it? What feedback mechanisms exist within your emotional landscape that either feed or starve the fire of your passion? How do you identify which to amplify or transcend? Purpose and meaning are compared to oxygen for passion’s fire: what subtle interplay exists between intrinsic motivation and external validation, and how do they influence the sustainability of your drive? How can you consciously cultivate a learning loop that evolves beyond automatic responses to intentional, crafted moments of insight and action? What feedback patterns emerge during moments of regression in your passion, and how do you engineer those moments for creative regeneration rather than burnout? Fire’s nature: destructive yet transformative. How do you harness passion’s destructive nature as a catalyst for positive change in your career/life? How does your internal “weather” (mindset, mood) alter the course of your passion’s fire? In what ways can you engineer your environment to protect, expand, or stoke it? What’s the boundary between your inherent survival instincts and conscious, designed growth in the context of career/life passion? How does one evolve into the other? In what way does adherence to your career/life passion cycle demand not just attention, but a radical discipline in learning, refining, and evolving your emotional and mental structure? Weekly thought experiments are only released on the weekends. You are a learning loop of passion, passion rises and falls according to the wisdom you have learned in your life regarding its functionality and the degree to which the structure of your knowledge maps over it to inspire and nurture greater action sustained overtime.

@Theprofessional sorry man I can't support you then as I don't want you to experience suffering in the future. Maybe I am wrong bro, like I may be completely wrong and I accept that, however I just see going into the arts as a massive danger even for the extremely talented in light of AI, which is one of my specialisations. You shouldn't care about my validation, approval or anyone's for that matter, you know yourself better than anyone else man certainly not some random bozo keyboard warrior like myself heh. I am on your side in as much as you internally (meaning you don't need to confirm with me externally man like I said I'm just some random bozo heh) evaluate yourself honestly, the environment truthfully and take massive continuous day to day action adapting to those realities to train your brain into the most imaginative fucker on the planet, or just something like that. That's 'who' I am though bro, maybe my subconscious philosophy is wrong, however for me, I find it too risky to be any other way not just with respect to the arts but just any field. Sincerely bro, I wish you the best. Feel free to punch any questions my way or otherwise and I'll give you straight answers from my bone marrow and a free cow.

@VeganAwake You’re not refuting evil you’re just renaming it. Calling it “mental instability” doesn’t erase its reality. If extreme harm is just psychological dysfunction, does that make its consequences any less real? If Hitler was "just a nutcase," does that absolve his actions? No it proves evil exists, whether from intent or brokenness. Dismissing evil as "just conditioning" is cognitive evasion. If all morality is conditioning, then so is your rejection of it, meaning you have no more claim to truth than those you dismiss. Evil isn’t theoretical; it’s the suffering it inflicts. That remains real, no matter how you label it. And yet, with every reply, you shift definitions, dodge contradictions, and reframe objections, not to seek truth, but to avoid confronting it. If your argument were solid, why must it constantly shapeshift to survive? Interesting... Very... Very, interesting.

Timestamp: Breaking into the industry of AI film making and music making. First release here in my jourbal in December aye. Solid . I may as well. It's an intelligent niche, and 'niche' is thumbprint these days in creative art not 'global'. Village music has become 'demographic music or 'village global' rather than the 'global village'; too saturated. Right now, its all 'pro-bono' and it'll likely stay that way for me. Seeking money for either in today's age seems so. Yeah. I'll watch the skeletons seeking a $ and archaic status wash up on the waters surface floating by me as I make my own waves in the actual areas of society where you can still have an impact rather than through the deluded vacuum of 'talent shows', which I've never been on by the way. My dad was kinda annoyed that I always bagged them tho haha, even though I did appreciate some brilliant talents there, but also those same talents r, no where to be seen; which is how it always was and will be for the most part and that is a xylophone that will entrench its tone even more strongly of course in the next decade of people ignoring the impact of AI on the arts and the status circles surrounding it My own voice, etc. as well for music. Just not going to be technologically 'left behind'. Plus from one approach, it enables me to focus more on creative imprint for small communities rather than appeasing a whole demographic where the balance of favour is more towards the audience and the economic interests surrounding. I don't really seek recog really, so for me its all pseudonym for now. For me 'artistic resonance' is really all that matters. I'll have some releases in December. I'll have to spend time designing my approach with AI, yes some of my work is in AI outside of film and music. I hope this encourages creative intellectuals to do a similar thing for their creative directions. You'll never have to worry about competition if you just remember and you can focus on small-world appreciation relative to your stage of growth in development and minds alike. I just think 'global recog' is a bit of an outdated concept these days, like who remembers the last 5 winners of the golden globes right? don't know any, films rn't the greatest enough for us to even care right. There's cultural reasons we know for that. 'Village Global' Allows you to craft a new image for how to approach artistic appreciations and contributions, including across both demographics and industries. It's the new way.

@Theprofessionalby the way just wanna say, if you've really got 'the stuff', go for it man. I'll buy/related it. And I mean that, don't let me deter you, just giving you the straight sauce, plus remember what I said concerning creativity + power, perhaps you have the power mate or can get it r u a Spielberg 2.0 tho and do you mind that ur stuff will be easily replicated as soon as you make it? Do you also mind that your success won't be long lived and that even if you are a Spielberg 4.0, you probably won't be remembered for more than 5 minutes? These are relevant qn's. to me, film is super easy to break into but I wouldn't stake meat on it on the cash end of things in todays age. I can analyse a demographic, empathise with the stories that'll scratch nerves and use that as leverage to shape voices. what matters is $ of funding. on this note, I would also think about how you could be a consultant mate as well, try to specialise in empathy more than anything else when it comes to film making. Start envisioning all the angles of how you could act in the industry as an adaptation that makes true sense to you and has true logical consistency .best wishes.

I can't believe people are still living in the fantasy of the word 'democratic economy'. It's what perpetuates the 80's to 2010's fantasies of making it as a creative. That died fully about a decade ago and especially for the arts. I believe in both democracy and economy, those are just two words that don't go together anymore that's all. I turned off the television of that simulated machine of me as a cog in its wheel and now I operate solely according to my rules. It's a compromise. I'd really love to just play music, bliss out and create love with people. I'd really love to work for government and heroically solely for its interest. I'd really love to take my training in medicine and just be a doctor in a hospital and not have to worry about the rest of the world understanding that my purpose is carved out in making a difference in good peoples lives each day as a medical practitioner. This, is not reality. These are no longer reliable scripts. Money + island + 1 or more children + travel + woman/women (depending on circumstances) and everything else including medical is a bonus, including music/singing which is my own specialty in the arts that I only spend time on as I'm forced to as a part of the training of my own nervous system in particular directions. That's pretty badass though, that I'm 'forced' to master the electric guitar and singing so every once in a while I can just crank it out and get the hips moving heh. But that's all it is. It's sweet, nice and sentimental but its not anything more than that, we have a new politics for economy now including the economy surrounding human attention, success operates not only on different metrics, you should be expecting entirely different outcomes based on literally new generations that neuroplastically morph and wire the rest of their nervous systems according to those times. Remote control to television: Presses 'Off' button to simulation. Relaxes on a recliner on my own island, greets woman, fucks her brains out, wonder about what I can invent next after, fall to sleep; rinse, repeat. Eventual physical death. That's my present-future now, with some worldly travel, perhaps raising a kid (how many we'll find out) and send him to my own version of harvard as that'll be obsolete by then, write a few essays, do a bit of research, likely capitalize on latest CRISPR/variations (arguably first time and beyond psychedelic experiences) and genetically/related buzz myself in x and y directions outside of my own work on bioelectricity, and that'll be the complete script of my entire life before I die. The rest like nurturing true friendships along the way is just the details, even if we can argue relationships are the most important part, which I wouldn't stray far from, in fact there's too much of an argument to say that the 'democratic economy' is the perfect analogy now for what exists outside of true relationships while at the same time maintaining itself as the perfect distraction and subsequent destruction to them; the irony is rich. Moral of the story for todays times: Turn off the bloody television to the simulated reality of 'democratic economy' and get your balls heavy on the raw essentials: Money, freedom, love, nervous system. Now, if you're smart at the very least in a renewed way you're wondering how the hell you're going to get there. You can still 'make it as a creative' but it isn't going to be in the traditional 'creative fields', that is ah... not very creative. To truly master your creativity, you must master your vision of the world in which you're being creative in, if you can't even be in reality in these days about how your profession is going to manifest in todays toxic misguided cultural environment, you'll quickly finding yourself in a life-raft you never knew you boarded in the middle of the ocean while the people around pretend to save you, and you wonder, helplessly, why won't it just work? And now you're sniffing Kim Jong Un's authoritarian booty over his people's freedom of mind as he kills anyone who doesn't weep when they're in public on the day of his fathers passing each year and calls it justice for the people becaues obviously they're spies working for another government or didn't understand who they should have been grateful to. 'Creatives' were so valuable in a pre-technocratic attention span of the populace, however they've gone out of fashion with the radio, they no longer give valuable talk back with their art to progress society unless they also have power. That's the future now, and right now its just a baby. Give it a few more years and it'll develop a prefrontal cortex where it literally tells you straight to your face to put you in your place if we take it to the streets of Chongqing, China. And while you're sitting there, aimless perhaps, worried about the future of the world, that's just another way in which your attention is being coopted in conspiratorial thinking away from what truly matters, your drive towards the truth of handling your bare essentials, not just for today, but for the rest of your life. Step out of the toxic sociopolitical mindscape virus mud of modern society, turn off the simulated television that you're barely taking view of from the perspective of seeing yourself as the cog in the wheel, and get down to 'raw work'. What is 'raw work' as distinguished from 'television work'? Raw work is the work you put into something that you've directly calculated has an immediate positive impact on your path to freedom, even if its in contemplating and learning from failures. Raw work is the use of raw energy at the intersection of existential, financial, personal well-being and even long term relationships, it is money in the bank account of life as opposed to 'television work' which is where existentially, financially, your personal well-being and even truest long term relationships are treated like a commodity and have no return on investment in the long term future outside of adding fuel to the fire that is the matrix of the 'democratic economy' of todays environment still advertising false pathways to freedom.

If nothing truly matters, why do you respond with moral outrage against harm? Opposing evil contradicts your philosophy, if it didn’t matter, why act? Evil isn’t a construct of human fear; it’s an undeniable reality when harm occurs. You reject it as conceptual, yet the act of rejecting harm affirms its existence. Your actions undermine your theory, if nothing matters, why participate in meaningful action? The reality of evil doesn’t vanish in your philosophy.Your acts reveal a truth… evil exists precisely because you act as if it matters.

I don't need to read all the comments to know if someone has mentioned... They wouldn't have heh. Immediacy Bias vs perspectivism itself. Even, something I wasn't anticipating I'd say, through the purity of logical perspectivism regardless as to how fast it feels like the emotional elevator is crashing from the top floor after having its cables cut. I have my own model there that benefits a lot. There's the acknowledgment that the immediacy of the moment is the contrast that is the bias which gives us tunnel vision. Then I generate dimensional perspectivism that spans the abstract dimensions of either the bias of the contrast my perception is contained by or in comparison to it. If you imagine all of the abstract dimensions in the form of a sphere, you will be able to compare ('hat') anything to ('rainbow') anything (hat and rainbow have x similarities and y differences : again, across abstract dimensions not or not only just physical dimensions) and more importantly imagine perspectives that fill the gaps of abstract dimensions of any one ('hat' is opposite to 'pants' and 'pants' are above a 'towel' in 'sophistication' for the 'category' of clothing). I won't share any more, but for the truly curious there's some wild implications to this idea that I'll keep non-disclosed in this comment though you're free to ask me about them and or fill in any gaps for greater understanding. Imagine being super consumed by a heated legal battle where no matter how hard you try your mind preoccupies your ego's awareness completely by worst case scenarios that get you to act impulsively, even if on the outside it doesn't reveal this impulsivity. Then along comes the realisation that if you just simply add this phenomenological juxtaposition to your meditation practice say, now the harmonisation the meditation provides consciousness is coupled as well with contrast that nourishes new thoughts that open up your lateral thinking and emotional balance. That's what this does, as much as there is the immediacy of the psychological projection so too then at the intersection of that seemingly imperturbable perceptual weight that blurs your vision, is the multi-colored light of its related impressions now surrounded and eventually with enough diligence, transformed. For those educated on my Tempress variant, at your own discretion you can solve the puzzle of how to creatively include this to your benefit within your practice.

@VeganAwake Your argument against meaning is self-sabotaging. If nothing matters, why do you oppose injustice or risk your life for others? The very act of rejecting evil confirms its reality. Evil exists because harm exists. Denying its significance is a philosophical luxury, one that evaporates the moment you confront real suffering. Evil’s existence is not subjective; it’s lived experience. If you truly believe that nothing matters, you should stop acting on your own values, yet you continue to do so. This contradiction exposes the weakness in your theory: you can’t reject meaning without rejecting your own actions, morality, and emotional responses, all of which prove that something matters, including the existence of evil.

@Shodburrito You’re looking at this all wrong. Imagine a rapist saying, “Yeah, I forced myself on her, but has she dropped the charges yet? I wanna get back to gaming.” Or a murderer asking, “Is the victim’s family still pressing charges, or are we cool?” A bank robber: “Look, I waved the gun around, but have they moved on yet?”. You crashed into someone’s house, “Has their insurance covered it yet?” You botched a surgery, “Is the hospital still mad?” You cheated on your wife, “Is she over it now?”. You stole from work, “Is my boss still upset, or can I just show up Monday?”. You screamed at your kid in public, “Is my wife done being mad?” See the pattern? It’s not about whether the police or your neighbors move on. It’s about whether you do. Right now, you’re a guy who panicked and lost control. If you don’t fix that, this will happen again. So stop worrying about the consequences and start worrying about why you were the kind of person who created them in the first place.
