These ones from the list are pretty insightful: Attachment to an ability that is not actually an ability — identifies with a pervading capacity he does not possess. Attachment to a wrong idea of permanence — takes what he has reached to be permanent. Attachment to an awareness that is not actually awareness — mistakes a residue for pure awareness. Attachment to birth that is not actually birth — mistakes an arising for genuine origination. Attachment to a refuge that is not actually a refuge — takes a resting place for the destination. Attachment to an unattainable craving — fixes on something that cannot be had and calls the fixation attainment. Attachment to truth that is not actually truth — takes a partial truth for the whole. Fixed-nature hearers — settles permanently at a real but lesser attainment. Fixed-nature pratyekas — settles at solitary realization and goes no further.

I prefer seeing through rather than letting go of one's mental structures, because reality contains the mental structures.

But this kind of relationship is super painful too. It's not worth it.

Any reason for the highlighted ones lol.

People get really confused about this topic I find. You are on to something.

The next question is now much is this epistemic therapy necessary?

Hardcore spirituality displacing us out of years of life.

Gold is high now apparently but it might not be forever.

The denial of the perspective in space and time is an old ruse, I agree.

Some people are more idea heavy and others are more experience heavy. It is good when you can see this and not limit artistry to one vs. the other.

I don't think this is a good measure for business. You could have one person who keeps you in business. It is more about aligning with people where there is a mutual benefit. And maybe sometimes you need a shift in that, because we take each other for granted too as we sustain relationship. I think a good starting point is to have more than one iron in the fire as a business owner, but don't take this for granted too! You don't want to have a transactional mentality about business. It is best to think of business in terms of building authentic relationship if you can IMO. I would prefer not to do business with people I never met for example.

It depends on whether progress is being made or not with the spirituality IMO.

But notice how you can ditch all this theory and you're still good.

You're the Self.

Why assume there is a duality between the mind and the Absolute? That is a key one too. Nondual people do not like this one.

But this would be attachment to the conceptual. Many insights are gleaned from psychedelics.

Whenever I say there might not be a duality between the relative and the Absolute, I figure the nondual people will love that, but it is like one of the most taboo things to say in practice I find.

Maybe there is no duality between the relative and Absolute.

Hey guys. I'm lurking.

The Absolute of the Distraction.

I saw that. The willingness to communicate already puts you way ahead.

I hear ya.

I've talked to many people about this, they said Spain had the better team overall.
