This can be kind of a shadow thing too to contemplate. What we find wrong in others is often what we see wrong in ourselves but instead of acknowledging that we pit it on someone else or even to an abstraction. This is what Jung called a persona. -

Focus more on relationship than on belief when you interface with people. You have to relax your judgment muscle to a degree. -

But have you seen another person enough? -

Maybe I'll take a pass here. -

Or is it? Who are you to say? -
I feel like the Feminine in general is more focused on relationship, and the Masculine is more focused on the individual; and this creates a natural conflict in reality that we face every day.

Why is it nothing? I'm not understanding. -

This is all Kantian nonsense, right? -

To what degree is Consciousness filtered, and how can we come to know this? Is this regarding us or others? -
I like this guy. He does seafood.

Self-awareness and intuition

This puts a lot of thought conditions on Awareness ironically. -

Ironically, Shankara defines the highest stage of consciousness as analogous to deep sleep. You hear this all the time. -
The reason Jazz performances come off as so tight is because we play a set of songs called standards for years. So even though we improvise, we practice that same bag of tunes every week for years and years. So, yes improvisation is going on spontaneously, but the same tunes have been practiced, refined, and refined some more over the course of many years. Nobody plays a new tune well the first time. I have about 80 songs in my bag that I practice every week. You get deeper and deeper into the tune so your improvisation starts to sound better and more aligned with the tune and chord progression. Also you develop little things like, this is what I normally play over this part. So, it's not composed but you develop a bag of tricks sort of for each tune as a matter of habit. Some people call these licks, but they're not memorized, they develop over time when you practice.

Ok. Well then you get to stay right. No harm no foul. -

Here's the problem with your message. It's bogus to me. -
Joseph Maynor replied to No1Here2c's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
But you don't seem to think you have a self though which is weird. Because, you still use 'I' like we all do. -
I appreciate Leo's video, but I'm asking you.

Do you need the world to be this way? I'm not singling you out, I think we all have a similar kind of protocol where we secretly want the world to be. -
Can you explain how this works?

It actually bugs me when people don't use apostrophes properly when they write. Just my bias as I spend a lot of time writing.
