Women had less rights because for the majority of mankind's evolution the state of consciousness was so low that physical force determined rights and power hierarchies. Survival was unbelievably brutal and physical. The strongest dominated the weakest and established "rights" and rules which served them. But now we are starting to move away from brutal animalistic survival and now the physical strength difference between men and women is becoming less and less important. It is not a matter of men deciding to give women rights, but rather the entire species is evolving in consciousness and society is developing hard and soft infrastructure which allows for non-violent means of existence. This is not a process anyone controls. Men do not control it. Both men and women are puppets of larger evolutionary forces which drive the entire universe towards greater consciousness and love. Those who are physically weaker are treated with more compassion. This is true not just of women but children, the sick, the disabled, the mentally ill, animals, the environment, etc. Once you are conscious enough it is no longer tenable to dominate others even if you happen to be physically bigger or stronger than them. It hurts your own consciousness to do so. Ego is slowly realizing the existential equality of all beings by looking past the material differences -- which are not fundamentally important. Rather than seeing all this as a fight for rights, see it as an expansion of consciousness, love, and self-identity. If you were highly conscious and had high Self-Love, you would not have a desire to dominate anyone, even if it gave you some temporary material gain. The material gain is inferior to Selflessness.

How many solo retreats have you completed in the past? How many days was the longest?

Love is EVERYTHING. It doesn't matter what feeling you have or choice you make. That is the point. The ego sets conditions on love to suit its survival because it's biased. But love is not limited to that. Love is unlimited, infinite, and unconditional. Whether you understand that is another matter.

@Derek White Don't expect enlightened people to automatically have good political understanding. These are separate issues. An enlightened boomer can have shitty outdated politics. In fact, I would bet on it. Enlightened people can still be closedminded to things. They can still cling to false beliefs about the relative world. And they certainly still have biases of which they are not aware.

Not at all. Philosophy classes in universities are as conformist and unoriginal as Sunday School. All of Harvard is a conformist nest. Little orginal thinking happens there. Do not confuse such things for truth-seeking or thinking. They are playing academic survival games. Nobody at Harvard understands what reality is or how consciousness works. No actual philosophy is done in a philosophy classroom. That would be far too dangerous to be allowed. Tucker Carlson don't give a fuck about foreign people. They are like animals from his level of consciousness. He cares about building up an American identity. All of his politics revolves around that, as does everyone's at Fox News. That is the function of Fox News: to build and defend an American collective ego.

@lukmi 1) How many times did this happen exactly? Two times? That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Could just be a fluke. Although it is a bit odd. 2) Learn to provide amazing sex and girls will be begging you to go exclusive with them. Seems like your sex is missing the dominance and newness components. For sex to be good, you have to find ways to keep it new. Don't be doing the exact same routine every time. Fuck her in the restaurant bathroom once in a while. Etc. Get creative. Dominance is also important. Drive up the masculine/feminine polarity. Make her feel feminine so she is satisfied. You can also up your value as a man. As you become more successful, more confident, more humorous, more wise, more healthy, etc. all this will massively attract her to you. She should see you as a one-of-a-kind catch. She should feel like she won the lottery in dating you.

Well, people who don't sleep stop functioning after a few days. Which tells you how crucial this function is. By overworking you will end up ultimately doing less work, by burning yourself out. Less is more.

India simply lacks basic high-quality governmental infrastructure to sustain peace between all those tribes: court systems, roads, uncorrupted police, bridges, toilets, parks, meat inspections, etc. All of that must be built up before Stage Green can emerge in a significant way. There cannot be Stage Green if 200 million people are still wiping their ass with their bare hands like they did 5,000 years ago. The function of government is to solve such logistical challenges. By solving such challenges egos are pacified and there can be talk of higher consciousness values. Otherwise people behave like animals.

By becoming a passionate musician today you ARE setting an example for generations to come. The example must be set way early. These are seeds that must be planted hundreds of years in advance. Just like how the seed for democratic government had to be planted some 2500 years ago by the Greeks. Those seeds are still just sprouting. Don't wait to plant the seed. That is the point of automation. That is why automation is a very good and important trend. Automation frees up mankind to pursue their passions without needing to do grunt work. Most people simply don't understand this yet because living a passionate life is scary -- it takes a lot more responsibility and consciousness.

Not a psychopath, just Stage Red Impeachment cornered him like a rat. So this is the ego backlash to that. Trump is too unconscious to accept loss without lashing out. That is what makes him so dangerous. He will try to take the ship down with him if he goes down.

Of course your Spiral Stage totaly depends on where and when you were born. If you were born into Hitler's shoes, you'd be precisely Hitler. This is so obvious it should go without saying, yet people are in such denial about it that they manage to overlook this obvious fact. Nothing whatsoever seperates you from the most evil people who ever lived. The ego is that imagined seperation.

No, it's not conscious. It's a lack of consciousness. It's self-bias, closemindedness, ego, and just how Stage Blue cognition works. He is genuine in his beliefs. Basically all people are genuine in their ignorance. From Ben Shaprio's POV, he's helping the world be a better place, he's acting from love -- like all people. But since his self-awareness is quite low, his love ends up being very selfish and partial. It's not really his fault. All evil is simply lack of consciousness. Which is why evil doesn't really exist. It is just misdirected love. Here you must distinguish between the intelligence required to think within the box of society vs the intelligence of truly original thinking. To earn a law degree you don't need to do any original thinking, you just need to be very good at following the rules and orders that society has laid out for you. You need to be a good soldier. Which is what Stage Blue excels at. Stage Blue is great at being meticulously conformist. If you need to hire someone to make sure that concentration camps operate like well-oiled machines, you hire a nice conformist boy like Ben Shaprio to manage it for you. He will do it without asking any questions. This was in fact how Nazi Germany was run. Nothing strange about it. Every political position can be criticized from above or below, not just left vs right. You can be anti-interventionist from above or below. For example, you could believe that it's wrong to start a war in the Middle East because they are low-life savages who don't even deserve to fight the noble white man. But such anti-interventionism is further from Stage Green anti-interventionism than wanting to invade the Middle East to steal their oil. One would first have to evolve in consciousness just to see the Middle East as a worthwhile place to steal oil from, and only then one might evolve further in consciousness to actually care about the lives and interests of Middle Easterners as much as white lives and interests. You can be opposed to war for the wrong reasons. What matters most is not the fact that you oppose war, but what level of consciousness you're seeing the situation from. You might oppose war because you're to fearful of getting drafted. But that is a selfish perspective which is very different from opposing war because you're conscious of the suffering it would cause the "enemy". The true problem with the Middle East wars is not that it hurts America's interests, but that it creates suffering for innocent and powerless people in the Middle East. It's like kicking a wounded dog and blaming the dog.

No, you cannot be passionate about everything.

If every human took a shit in the same room, we'd all be dead. Nothing material scales infinitely. Everything has to be in proportion in a complex society. The mistake in your logic is that you assume that following your passion means that this should scale across 7 billion people. But of course it won't, simply because 95% won't ever even hear the advice, let alone follow it, so it's not something to worry about. Following your passion is advice aimed at 5% of the population. And that is workable. And by the time 5% of the population is following their passion, that will open the doors for another 5% to do the same, and so on, until one day we can have 50%+ people doing it, and maybe some day 90%+. But this will take many generations. You can be a musician precisely because most people have no interest in being musicians because they are not wired like you. Probably less than 1% of people in the world would choose to be a musician if they have total freedom to do whatever they wanted. For example, human civilization would collapse if everyone became enlightened overnight. Which is precisely why it will never happen. Enlightenment is very rare precisely because it needs to be rare in order for civilization to sustain itself. But this is irrelevant if you are the one who knows awakening is your thing.

This applies all the way up and down the chain of life. If a Unified World Government seems unlikely or impractical, just remember that 2000 years ago the idea of a country was crazy because there were only walled city-states. And 2 billion years ago, the idea of multicellular organisms was crazy because there were only single-celled organisms eating each other. For a human body to exist, single-celled organisms had to learn to cooperate with each other despite having their own selfish agendas. This is a game that life has played out for 2 billion years.

He was a regional war hero, akin to George Washington. Imagine how Americans would react if George Washington was assassinated by Iran. That is the situation here. Even the most moderate Iranians will now be pissed off and driven to violence because this is a matter of pride and self-respect. No self-respecting nation can allow such abuse. When Iranian history books are written, Soleimani will go down as their George Washington, and now a martyr at the hands of an evil empire. A generation of children will grow up hating America. Killing him was the worst possible strategic blunder from America's POV. Iran is now united and empassioned.

@butcho I doubt you have even begun to transcend culture.

Because all he's doing is acting out childhood dogmas. There is no contemplation of anything, it's all self-justification. There is no truth-seeking.

Every US general and secretary of defense is a war criminal by the US's own logic. Of course top military leaders mastermine the deaths of thousands of people. That is their job. By the US's own logic, all top US officials are justified to be assassinated for their military planning. That's how absurdly self-biased the position is.

Stop listening to him period. His intellect is just garbage. Anyone who takes the likes of him or Tucker Carlson seriously is just a joke. You cannot take anything they say seriously because it is so stunningly self-biased and intectually bankrupt. Some people are so banrkupt that even to listen to them or engage with them seriously is already a mistake. This pretty much goes for anyone at Fox News. It's self-biased propaganda. You might as well be listening to and debating with someone who is pro-slavery.

Meaning is imaginary, just like everything else.

This was the greatest concern about Trump now come to fruition. The correct wording here is: the US assassinated Iranian top leader. But notice how US media doesn't phrase it that way due to self-bias.

@Chumbimba Bottom line is that it will be too expensive for you. You need to look for cheaper options. You don't need to spend that much money to do consciousness work. Buy the Kriya Yoga books and get to work, if you're serious. Don't wait around for others to do the work for you.

It's a small factor but nothing worth worrying about. BTW, reverse racism is just racism. Racism doesn't only apply to white people. Anyone can be racist. Conservatives love to use the notion of reverse racism to argue that nothing needs to be done about racism or that racism doesn't exist. Which is just hogwash.

No catch that I'm aware of. Your results may vary.
