Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights
Miscellaneous bits of wisdom and resources on personal development, life purpose, philosophy, epistemology, nonduality, psychedelics, etc. Published randomly throughout the week.
- penetrating mental vision or discernment.
- the sudden act of grasping the inner nature or truth of a situation.
- a deep understanding of a person or thing.
Insights here are meant to be quick and half-baked. Consider these food for thought.
I've deliberately disabled comments to keep the blog streamlined. If you want to discuss any of the blog posts, you can do so here: Actualized.org Forum
This Instagramer has a multi-part series on famous men who use religion to cover up their sexually abusive, Stage Red lifestyles:

I've pointed out this pattern before: Stage Red exhausts itself and evolves into Stage Blue by "finding religion".
Remember how I said the lower stages of development are very predictable? Well, this is that.
You can watch the Red >> Blue evolution happening right on social media, in real-time. That's the power of learning developmental psychology. You will understand humanity like no one else. You will see patterns no one else can see.
Note: This example illustrates why I don't look up to MMA fighters. Their psyches are quite Red. Someone who loves to punch men in the face will have few qualms about raping a woman. It's all in good fun for Red. To Stage Red, rape is fun. Imagine that!
Note: The Instagramer is being too uncharitable and cynical. These men are not merely using Jesus for a cover-up, they're actually transitioning from Red to Blue. Believe it or not, that is progress. But, Green cannot appreciate that because it doesn't understand developmental psychology. So your understanding is already higher than the Instagramer's.
This is well said:

Overlaps nicely with things I've said in the past:
There's a bonus point here: It's not just that conservatives are less intelligent genetically, it's that since conservatives live in less developed parts of the country/world, their survival is more difficult, more threatened, so they must invest more time in survival, which leaves them less time for intellectual development and education. The educational opportunities in conservative parts of the world are objectively lower. There is no MIT of southern rednecks, because rednecks don't have time to sit in a classroom. That's why their necks are red, and why the love Trump.

One of the mundane reason's I'm so openminded and intelligent is because I was educated in really good progressive California schools, by great teachers. I would not be who I am today if I wasn't educated in progressive California. That is my privilege. 98% of the world's population simply can't afford that privilege. Never forget that. Just education is a huge privilege. Leftists forget this too easily. Conservatives, generally-speaking, don't have access to your schools. Of course, conservatives love to demonize your schools. But that's because they never went to your schools.
If everyone in the world had access to California schools, that would change the world. We are still far from that.
A deep insight from Ram Dass:

Listen to it several times, so you don't miss the very beginning.
Think deep about this:
"If everyone gets caught in your game, you lose."
That's like billionaires and celebrities. They think they're winners, but actually they're losers. Losers at the spiritual game.
What's your game?
Notice how scientists' and physicists' brains break when they encounter Infinity. But they don't understand why. They think encountering Infinity is a mistake. Not at all.
From a scientist's narrow, myopic point of view, Infinity seems like hell breaking loose. Well, that's right! Infinity is so free that it even contains Hell, demons, goblins, unicorns, cosmic horrors, and much more terrifying stuff. What physicists hide from laymen is that they are always wrestling with Infinity, but they don't understand that they are wrestling with God. The evidence of God is found across all of physics in the form of intractable infinities.
Consciousness/God is an infinite field of infinite singularities. This is more beautiful, profound, and true than anything any physicist has ever said. But nobody wants to listen, so I'm just talking to myself.
One of the most seductive self-deceptions is thinking you are better than you are, gooder than you are. You are not nearly as good as you think you are. That’s very painful to realize. Which is why most people aren't Good. Evil is when you think are Good without having done the work to become Good. All the most evil people think they are Good, and they are incapable of seeing otherwise. Being evil is a kind of hypnotic spell that one gets lost in, in which you think you are Good when you aren’t. Evil is a kind of delusional self-absorption. All evil people are delusional. Their view of themselves is not accurate, not objective, not truthful. Evil is a disconnection from truth. And in general, people are not even close to understanding how much work is required to become truly Good.
Being the good guy is usually a self-deception.
"I am the good guy."
That's where your skepticism should go.
The mind fools itself that it is the good guy when it is just being selfish. This is an amazingly powerful self-deception that most people never see through.
