Be Open-minded: High Quality Ideas Are Very Radical

[Extreme Z7]

This is just an idea I had while sitting in a lecture listening to a boring dumbed-down talk on history (The precise details are not important.)

Basically, I've come find that the REALLY GOOD stuff, the REALLY JUICY stuff that I learn from my personal development journey always turn out to be very radical and rarely taught in mainstream society. Prime examples:

 - Your sense of self is an illusion
 - The physical material world does not exist

- You don't really need to pursue anything in life

- More work does not always mean more progress in life

- Reality is exactly the way it should be and there's no need to change anything

 - Despite today's modern advances in technology, we are still in a very undeveloped stage as a society.

 - And so many others I'm too lazy to list.

And of course, there's high quality sources that you have to be incredibly lucky to find let alone become interested in in the first place.

 - Actualized.org

 - Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution by P.D. Ouspensky (Book)

 - Uncovering Life (www.uncoveringlife.com)

 - Five Ways to Know Yourself by Shinzen Young (Free E-Book)

 - And many others that I don't have the time to list

When I analyze these ideas and these idea sources, I find that pretty much everything that I label as "high-quality" turn out to have very radical and far-out ideas that I wouldn't even think of sharing to anyone who engages in habits imposed by mainstream culture. It's just a pattern I noticed in all the ideas and mindsets that really get to me emotionally and inspire me to dig further.

I'm not sure if this topic is worth and hour long video but I believe it can help people in weeding out what is bland content and what the hidden gems actually are. Bland content is usually content made by people with the intention of giving you what you already want whereas the mind-blowing stuff are from people who want to break or shatter a part of your worldview in order to show you just how groundless your current way living actually is. This will require a lot of open-mindedness in order be able grasp the good stuff, otherwise you're going to cling to your shitty poo for a long time before you realize that you've simply grown a taste for shite.
