My video about Fake Spirituality is more advanced than I see anyone understand.

This was a very advanced episode, easily taken for granted. You watch the episode and you think you understood what spirituality is. No. You still don't understand.

There is a such thing as the distinction of 'real spirituality'. What is spirituality, really? I don't mean your opinion or judgment. And I don't mean whatever you read in a book or heard from a guru. I mean truly getting a profound insight into what spirituality is. This requires serious contemplation work. You cannot have it by believing what I said in the video or reading any book. You need to generate an insight for yourself independent of anything I said.

Peter Ralston talks about how when he was a young man learning Judo, he spent a year training when one day he had a sudden and profound insight into what all of Judo was. After that insight his training advanced at lightning speed and he mastered Judo within 18 months — an unheard of feat. It usually takes people 10 years to master Judo, if ever, simply because almost no one understands what Judo is. It's not about memorizing moves or doing techniques. There exists a distinction for what Judo is! That's the advanced thing here. An understanding is missing.

Now, understanding that, I propose to you that there exists a parallel between Judo and spirituality. It is possible for you to have an equally profound insight/distinction about what spirituality is. You are presently missing this insight. If you acquire this insight your spiritual progress will skyrocket overnight. What takes people 10-20 years you will accomplish in a fraction of the time. But you're going to have to do some serious work to generate that insight.

What is spirituality?!

First, you have to start by admitting that you don't know.

I suggest you invest time working on this.

And DO NOT ask anyone for the answer! No one can tell you. This is not about belief or the right words. Either you generate it or you won't have it. Don't ask me to tell you. And don't ask anyone on the forum. I will delete any posts about this on the forum. Work on this privately.

Removed this because people will misunderstand it, and I don't want to explain it.

The amount of fake New Age spirituality out there is massive. You probably don't know 5% of it.

People call me New Age. No. This is New Age:

That's what spiritual fantasy and conformity looks like. There is zero epistemic process or questioning.

I'm not a fan of westerns, but this film is worth a watch. A unique and brutal twist on a western. The ending is wild and worth the whole build-up.

Conservatives fought tooth-and-nail to preserve all of THAT.

Everything conservatives cling to, God will take away from them, because it isn’t ultimately true. Given how much conservatives have historically lost, it’s a wonder how anyone is still conservative. Usually it is by way of deep ignorance of their own history.

Notice that conservative are ignorant of deep history. They always distort and deny it, because if you saw history fully you couldn't maintain conservatism. This is why conservatives suppress education of the history of slavery, racism, genocide, gay rights, women's rights, colonialism, empire, etc. Conservatives consistently try to whitewash history under the guise of preservation of tradition, but really they create a cherry-picked, romanticized, self-serving myth of history, one that paints them in a golden light that never was. Conservatives need a myth of their tradition because all human tradition is barbaric, corrupt, and filthy as the Devil's asshole.
