Related to what Leo said in the last video Lower and Higher Perspectives. We have this Human bias that God AKA Jesus Crist,encarnated image of God coming to this specific Planet  so Leo Asks " What about other planets? 

Funny Enough I found today in a friend house a book from Swedenborg " The Earths in the Universe. Page 60 Title say " THE REASONS WHY THE LORD WILLED TO BE BORN ON OUR EARTH AND NOT ON ANY OTHER

Nice political blog post. 

[ZenSwift]

Leo, as a student that dreams of developing the ability to teach like you, I deeply appreciate you sharing your slideshow that you reference for your talks. ❤️

@ZenSwift Cheers!

Don't forget that the goal is not to teach like me but to teach like you

Yes, I also wanted to thank you for the slides. They will be grist for the mill for my contemplations. 

There's nothing I would love more than to sit and contemplate carefree right now, but soon I'll be able to.

Have fun with that… I’d rather have God shit and vomit ugly Truth bombs right on my face:

How’s that for an awakening?! Welcome to Conscious Politics!

To a pure mind my words are like sweet like honey. To a devil-mind they sting like poison.

What are your thoughts on Lacan?

His work is so convoluted that I can't be bothered to do the work to unravel it. So I withhold judgment. That's the problem with these fucking European philosophers. It takes 5 years of study just to understand what the hell they're trying to say, and it turns out to be less profound than what I can conjure up on my own in a week.

His work is garbage.

He was basically just a troll.

As accompaniment for the warning about psychedelic use, check out this thread:

Some very interesting and vivid examples presented there, and I know of many more. This is croc-infested waters, in all directions. Be careful what you fish for.

The insigth of not being violent not only in physical ways but by not imposing ones ideias and worldviews upon others is deep. It made me remember the practice of Ahimsa or Non-Violence. And reminded me when I was a Mórmon Missionary Proseletazing to humble people about the LDS Church being the restored Gospel on Earth and they needing to be baptized again in order to be saved in the Celestial Kingdoom. Wow, so foolish and low perspective. Luckly I only baptized one girl and she is not memeber from Church anymore. 

The not imposition of ones Worldview upon others is a hard task. How is possible to pass in life and dont fall unto this trap? WE all do this sort of Epistemic Violence once in a while in life, mainly when we are deeply ignorant and emeshed in a group,church,political party etc.. lets adimit, we all do it.

@Leo Gura your post on leftist error is very interesting. "Welcome to real politics. Unconscious politics." struck me as in putting me back in touch with what is rather than what I hope for. That being said, it's not all doom and gloom.

Consider studying more of the politics in Scandinavia for a counterbalance to the dumpster fire in the USA. We also have a right/populist uprising in Europe, specifically, Germany, France, UK, etc. but overall politics & society is a lot more sane there than in the USA. 

Also, what's the solution? And where does it start, right now?

[Rafael Thundercat]

The Evolution of Christianity that many Christians don't wish to admit. 

and I guess this is even a oversimplification.

Thanks for the insight, I won’t bother to explore it much further than the surface.

This is one of my frustrations with many philosophers, in that they make saying something straight forward so cryptic and esoteric.

Aurobindo pointed out how Hitler disproved the idea of Ahimsa pretty hard.

Another metric for someone with low perspective vision: Megalomania

One example is Constantine, the founder of Constantinople his own city with a big Staute of himself, Mixing Apollo,Mitras and Jesus unto himself. 

 

How many other leaders made big statues of themselfs in order to show off their dominance and size? Benito Mussolini.. the Enginners from Prometheus Movie..Olmec Big Heads...

I couldn't agree more. Tomorrow, I have the toughest exam across my two engineering degrees. I've been working on this subject daily for months, trying to wrap my mind around it and crack it. It's mind-shattering how insignificant it is in the big scheme of Reality, just a tiny subspace of math and engineering, in the whole Field of Human Knowledge, which again is just a minute figment in the Cosmos; yet that insignificant figment is monstrously complex with so many avenues and traps everywhere. It feels like eating a brick and trying to digest it. It's really humbling. How much care did God put in all things...
