On the Primacy of Self-DEception

[samijiben]

Everyday, every moment, I am uncovering the remnants of yet more shit that I unwittingly believed. We ARE dealing with an infinite jungle of self-deception... 

 

One of the hurdles to my enlightenment that I believe to have recently overcome is that I am more enlightened and awake than, in the very least, most other people, but soon thereafter it dawned on me that I was dreaming all of "you" up in my imaginary imagination, and so: ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! 

 

Just pondering the qualificatory enterprise of delineating tiers and levels and categories of awakeness/enlightenment, I realized that it just might be the case that Leo Gura is not more enlightened than that fucking dickhead at the gym yesterday that was blabbering about some utter bullshit... Nor am I more mature or intelligent than Donald Trump or the majority of humans otherwise who seem to be full of hatred, delusion, and more. 

 

So, I would like y'alls input on this. I know you wonderful folk of Actualized.org do not really exist but, somehow, at a certain point, anyways, refreshing my page lends to the comments of avatars that I DID NOT CREATE (but of course I did), so anyways before this gets out of hand and turns into a "I did not say what I just said" kind of game, I will, indeed, shut the fuck up.

Sidenote:

I am bubbling with Love, Gratitude, and Sweet, Joyous Tears of Positivity for, specifically, the wonderful community of this forum (that is, to be sure, Actualized.org). All of you people don't exist, obviously, so this is a message made JUST FOR THE ONE READING THESE VERY WORDS:

I love you, I really do. Thank you for everything you have done. You have done enough!

We’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg, so hold on tight!

Be careful with false equivalency and false humility, as that would be self-deception.

Maybe Magnus Carlson is no better at chess than your local newb. Or maybe you are kidding yourself.

You can stop the fantasy and story of "self-deception" and begin to be honest about your experience by acknowledging what is present and what it truly is. It’s not an ideal or a philosophy. Consider the simple reality of telling the truth about basic things, and proceed from there.

Distinguishing between what is experienced and what is conceptual is a good starting point. It provides a direction for progress.
