@Knowledge It's seems like it should be so simple - just in and out. Yet there can be a lot of skill involved.

I'm not talking about mask type of 'hiding'. I'm talking about toxic corporate and political power hiding in the shadows as their harm and try to hide the harm they cause - in the name of more power and profiteering. I don't think you are appreciating the power dynamic here. Penniless people with no power are not the biggest threat. The toxic plutocrats are far more dangerous. That's why they want us to focus on a harmless mentally unstable woman. Plutocrats love to pit poor people against poor people - then they are all distracted in a culture war. They don't fool me. I can see them. Imagine someone walks up to you, yell profanities and you walk away unharmed. You never see them again. It was an annoying encounter, yet no big deal. Now imagine a corrupt politician steals money that was to be used to improve the water system in your community. Now, everyone in the community is drinking toxic water and don't even know it because the politician was super sneaky about stealing the money, paid off other politicians and blackmailed politicians to keep quiet. Years later, you and many people in your community have neurological disorders from toxic water. Who would you be more upset with: the crazy lady who yelled a few curses at you, or the corrupt politician that stole your tax money, let you drink contaminated water and caused you neurological disorders? White collar Orange crime can be as violent as Red level crime - it's just a different expression. White collar crime is done in the shadows, that is one reason it is so ruthless. It's one of the problem's with toxic capitalism and plutocracy. And there harm isn't limited to the U.S. Neo-cons and Neoliberals support wars that harm foreign societies, including Latin America. The woman who seems crazy does not have much power to harm others through oppression, exploitation and warmongering. That damage has been carried out primarily by white men in corporate and politics. And it's poor form to create false equivalencies that steal the suffering from others. Those that were lynched, were innocent people that lacked power that were violently killed by racists with power. This businessman is nowhere near getting lynched in this video. The victims of lynchings were innocent black people that got brutalized by racist white people. White collar wealthy men with the power to exploit others are not the victims. (I don't know this specific man, I'm speaking in big picture terms).

Healthy Blue calling out Toxic Blue. Feels like a doing a full body detox.

The structure isn't bullshit, the content within the structure is bullshit. The left could use the PragerU structure to produce quality educational content that are easily comprehended by normies.

@SS10 Because dream/hallucination = real. We create distinctions. Generally, when a mind is stuck on the 'real' side of duality, we point to show the 'dream/hallucination' side of the duality (because the mind can already see the 'real' side). Then the tendency of the mind is to say "wait a minute if it's dream/hallucination, how can this real part not be real?". The mind tends to operate in opposites - that it must be either dream/hallucination or real. This gives the mind a handle to hold onto and stability. Yet upon enough scrutiny the whole thing deconstructs/collapses to Nothing. Then we can create new constructs about dream/hallucination and realness from scratch. Kinda like a dry erase board. We can create all sorts of images, then erase the board to being blank and then drawing new images. We can create all sorts of different dream, hallucination, real as well as different degrees of dreamness and realness. This can feel very foreign, uncertain and ungrounded to a mind at first - yet after a while it becomes normal and fun to play with form and formless. And a 'person' carries around an I.D. card verifying the 'person'. That's next level weird.

I would make a distinction with the term "need". We could say there are inherent human needs as well as being needy. For example, eating is an inherent human need. It would be odd to ask "how can you meet your need to eat without being dependent on food to meet that need?". That is very different than saying "How can I reduce my neediness for validation, acceptance and attention - such that I have high self esteem, self acceptance and self love?" Or, "How can one meet their need for human companionship while in isolation?".

I’ve found psychedelics to be a terrible personal development tool. Their value for me is trans-personal. If I go into a trip thinking I’m going to enter another world and pull out some ‘goodies’ for my personal life, I will be disappointed.

Within this creation, sure. I don’t disagree. This gets into what is ‘real’ and what is ‘imagined’. We can assign ‘realness’ (actual) to the creation if we like. Or we can call it imaginary. I’m cool either way since they both deconstruct to the same thing. In the context of consciousness insights, ‘you’ are tapping into one of The Biggies that allows new explorations and relating to reality. Few human minds pass through this gate. In this area, I prefer to hold the intellectual handles loosely.

According to your description of reality, sure. Lisa Cairns occasionally talks about a similiar construct of reality as the one ‘you’ are creating (in this context, aka what is appearing). Good stuff.

A human construct that has evolutionary and practical value.

That was said 4 years ago.

Contrast the original Blue team ad with Green team ad. A very different orientation.

Big fish eat smaller fish and accurate mercury in their body.

@Mannyb I think the country is hyper polarized into binary Us vs Them conflicts of opposition. I was really hoping Bernie could win and we could transcend that. My hope at this point is there is a change at election. With new leadership, there can be a shift of the Overton window. Things like Proud Boys can become fringe and marginalized again, allowing some space for consciousness evolution.

@Mannyb Then leave that part out. Why show them LP ads they will reject? Show them ads about patriotism, dignity, integrity, honor etc. If you are saying they are 100% loyalists to Trumpism, they may be behind hope. The door needs to be open at least a tiny bit. If the door is locked shut and barricaded, there is no getting through. People literally refused to look through a telescope to see the existence of the planets for themselves. Leo covered this in his open-mindedness video.

You asked for good political ads. The LP has put out many effective ads for conservatives with string conservative values like honor, dignity, integrity, military, patriotism - the vast majority of LP ads have nothing to do with BLM. I’m referring to LP ads, not trying to convince conservatives to join the LP organization.

@Mannyb To persuade Trump conservatives, I’d recommend the Lincoln Project. They are a group of conservatives against Trump. There is also a website with regular republicans theat voted for Trump, explaining why they will not do so again. Haelathy Blue / Low Orange talking to unhealthy Red / Blue is more persuasive than Green speak.

Social media Memes spread through social consciousness, just as Clare Graves described - even before the concept of an internet existed.

I think Zuck and FB execs should consider their role in social harm and violence. Allowing white washing of the Ant Hill Kids is much different than allowing white washing of Nazism.

@mattstivender The moderate position on a horizontal axis can still be a low conscious position. The center point between a bag of poo and a bag of bagels stinks. ? ?

@mattstivender Be mindful of creating false equivalencies and providing cover while feigning an objective meta view. That won’t fly under the radar here.

My sense is that relatively high doses of shrooms may not be the best for Sam. They can be really twisted, insane spaces. This can create dynamics in the mind that make transcendence more complicated. For Sam, I think a 30 day 5-meo retreat would be better. Simple clarity.

Sam is SUPER sneaky with narrative control. He got away with a lot. Imo, he needs to do more psychedelics to transcend that. He is beyond human help, yet Sam would be no match for psychedelics. The problem is he re-grounds himself after the few trips he’s had.
