How to be wise

@IamMystic Also Trump is gone now, and the US will once again have a sane president. Looks to me that all the action is tapering off.

How so? The vaccines are out now, so this should end within the year.

In ‘The Religion of Tomorrow’, Ken Wilber states that if 10% of a society reaches the next stage of ‘growing up’ (spiral dynamics), then that stage will be permeated throughout the entire society, meaning that the society will effectively be run by that stage, despite most of the citizens being at the lower stage. What do you think about this statement?

@nitramadas I remember Sadhguru talking about his yoga centre, when he started a program for serious yoga pursuit. He said that a group of young men who were determined to work hard in yoga came, but the women (also doing the program) were too pretty and the men ended up leaving to get married. Of course Sadhguru will not segregate men and women, but for stage Blue people (majority of the planet), the above scenario would be reason enough to ban all women.

Enlightenment and spiral dynamics are more or less separate. You can even be stage Purple and enlightened, for example some African medicine men.

Lack of power. Decisions are made for them. The vast majority of leadership positions are held by men. If women craved domination and aggression, this simply wouldn’t be possible.

Have you ever been outside the west?

This is very common outside the west. Men prevent women from attending religious sites because they don’t want to be distracted by a woman’s beauty and the sexual desire caused by looking at a woman. Classic stage Blue repression.

@Egodeathrow Entertaining for sure, but doubt it has any value for consciousness raising.

No such thing. If you contemplate for a while, I think you’ll realise this as well.

I’ve found that it is predominantly a male thing. You can have a look at history for proof of this. Even today, outside the west, it is male dominated. Men crave women’s bodies, and they crave power. It will be hard to find a woman that craves a man’s body. And although it may seem to you that women have a lot of power today, one glance outside the western bubble will show you how inferior women are to men.

Of course it’s not 100% accurate, but there is clearly some truth to it. Every man has a strong desire for sex and domination.

@LordFall Entire books were written about this theory. Most academic psychologists refer to it in their lectures.

Freud’s drive theory shows that a man has only two fundamental drives: sex and aggression “fuck it or kill it.” Those two drives are wired into him biologically. They will always be there.

@Mips Slow down. It won’t be the end after you drop the body. No doubt you will start life again in a different form.

@Mesopotamian Conspiracy theorist you are.

@seeking_brilliance Then what is the use of your spirit ‘Blue.’

‘Surely’ is just a way of asking a question.

I’m not claiming to know everything. But surely a spirit from outer space, who is advanced enough to be a teacher, can do some quick mathematics. Or are you saying that the spirit is just a living being not very different to us. In which case why would you go through the trouble of channeling it. Find some better spirits. Neale Donald Walsch was able to channel God himself. Surely he could’ve at least used God to locate the FBI most wanted. Something tangible that proves it isn’t just you imagining it!

@seeking_brilliance Can Blue answer mathematical questions, like 354 x 2543, without you checking the answer before hand. That’s the best way to know whether this is real or not.

@TheAvatarState Since Leo is everybody, it only makes sense that he wants to help them. If you had a serious illness, will you go to the doctor? Why? Because you’re aware that the body is you, so you want to help it. After enlightenment, all of reality is your body. That’s it.

@KevinMejia You should know by now that danger doesn’t stop people from abusing substances. In fact, the more dangerous it is, the more people will use it. Humans will only learn from pain.

@Batzon Suffering is how you grow. People always wait for terrible things to happen before they change. Notice that societies always grow after a genocide.

@mmKay Why make a thread which damages the image of psychedelics. It’s already hard enough to convince people to try them.
