The Paradox of knowing social systems

[Rafael Thundercat]

Ok Leo, this one you hit a point I was trying to put my finger on for a long time. For example, long time ago I was in my begginings of knowing the Ayahuasca Retreats culture, a outsider totally new to the ways of doing this ceremonies. After 8 years going to many encounters I desmistify many of the things new comers are normally confused about. Becoming an insider made me realize that this work is not all light and joy and there is a lot of Cult patterns that people create that are not necessary,but of course everytime people gather in groups there will be some dogmas as irracional rules created. 

Is truly hard to avoid paradigm lock when one is involved with a group,Ideiology,nation,countercultural movement, religion,company etc... to be part and still observe apart from it is a herculean task. 

I think a whole episode on this issue would be amazing. So I am bringing the blog topic here to gather collective wisdom into it. Let see how objective the comments will be.

Also I am for a long time planning to enter on purpose inside some system, even a fundamentalist religion to test myself in how much I can keep objectivity at same time I participate of a very different mentality bubble group. 

I was ready into a Religion Cult "Mormonism" and now can see that even Shamanic groups can have suble cult vibes too. Maybe I will need to move to a totally different contry like Africa and join a Voodoo Culture. Something truly Alien.

Anyway. We are all Biased by Nature. With Nature I mean the root origin of the term Nature "Birth" . Just by being born as a human form, being raised in a specific family,geographic region,religion.

There is really any hope of Becoming Zero Biased? Or is just a question of Alligning all Biases with the best truths one can realise?

You don't need to be zero biased, but you can become very good at avoiding and spotting the very obvious biases that all Tier 1 folk fall into.

You are either selfish and see all as threat or you are selfless and see all as you

Zero bias means I am indifferent to whether I die first or you die first

In my own case, I don't really care if I die this week since I have peace

So I will try in some little way to do some good action and to share the truth of being before I depart

Whatever I do, I am doing to me and for me

Every moment I either bless or I bash
