@Joseph Maynor By your logic, Hitler, Alex Jones, and Bin Laden deserve an A+ There are tons of lunatics in society with a firm sense of life purpose. Doesn't make it a conscious or good thing. There can be healthy life purpose and pathological life purpose. JP can believe whatever he wants, but the problem is that his ideology is radicalizing people and misinforming them about post-modernism and stage Green. This is actually a big problem, as you can see just by reading the YT comments that JP fans make. Their understanding of these issues is extremely polarized, unsophisticated, egocentric, and naive. Part of the problem is that these are young directionless males, age 18-26 who are still very immature, naive, and lacking in compassion. You realize, right, that in the Middle East, terrorist groups recruit members using the exact same techniques JP is using? They target exactly the same age-range of males, and they radicalize them using cultural and identity issues, by demonizing stage Orange American decadence and liberalism. "How dare those liberal Americans let women drive, get a divorce, and walk around with their tits hanging out! What chaos! They are destroying the hierarchy of Allah! Letting gays have sex without killing them is ridiculous!" If JP was born in the Middle East, he would be railing against stage Orange Western secular capitalism and trying to build a theocracy. This has nothing to do with JP per se. It's just a Spiral mind virus. Minds work in predictable ways (to those who make a careful study of the workings of the mind).

@Brittany Actually that would be worse because he would just deny all the important points being made. He is not interested in reforming himself. He's out to promote his ideology. So a discussion is useless.

That is true. And it is also false. Depends on your POV. You guys are falling into the trap of not being multi-perspectival. You will not understand reality using a one-perspective-only approach. Every stage up the Spiral requires a +1 increase in the number of perspectives you can hold at once.

No Ego is the idea that you were born. Ego is not a brain part. Ego is a thought. The thought that you are an individual who was born and is looking around at the world, and that it is important that you not die. If you stop thinking that you were born, you will actually die. Try it

@Edogowa Conan Lol You are conflating absolute and relative domains. The wage slavery video was not a nondual teaching. Be careful trying to push everything through the nondual strainer. This is the problem with too much Neo-Avaita style teachings. You turn understanding of reality into an over-simplified nondual flatland. Many of my videos put forth RELATIVE truths, not absolute ones. And of course there is no literal pyramid out in the world. This was a metaphor, a map. Obviously you shouldn't go out in the world looking for an actual pyramid. You will never find it. Just like you will never find "gravity" or "the United States Of America" or "cats" out in the world. See my recent blog video about All Understanding Is Metaphoric. You're still falling into the trap of literalism. Nothing I say is ever literally true. It's a pointer or a filter through which to look at the world in a useful way.

@Zeldor Keep doing the work, grasshopper. You've only seen a few hairs of the ox's tail.

@MM1988 No, there is nothing random about it. That is a silly idea of the materialist paradigm because you are not yet conscious of infinite intelligence.

Well, at least you didn't meet any bears

Lol, of course ego-mind cannot be relativistic proper. Its job is to be self-biased. Survival, survival, survival. Relativism can only be actualized through deep awakening and dissolution of the ego. Then it is possible. That's how a Buddhist monk can set himself one fire. The fact is that everything is relative. But to accept this fully is tentamount to death. And only the wisest of human beings will surrender to this brutal truth. Stage Green post-modernists are not truly relativistic. They are phoney relativists. They have not actualized ontological relativism. They have turned relativism into a religion. Why is relativism so denied? Precisely because it is true. The ego cannot handle it.

@MM1988 No! You are just assuming so.

Exactly

@Mikael89 The first two substances should be lovely. 2C-B-FLY is a weird one. I would stay away. ETH-LAD should be enough to get a good taste of nondual consciousness.

@Zeldor Sounds like you got a nice glimpse but not a permanent awakening. Are you still identified with your body/mind? What do you identify as? Are you conscious that you are immortal?

@CreamCat I will make a video about Post-Modernism at some point. And probably one on Jordan Peterson specifically. Although I do not want to get into debates with his cult like followers. They will not be open to hearing what they need hear about him. So there will be a lot of stage Orange denial.

@Seed Get clear about what your ultimate goal is and then do whatever that entails.

@Mikael89 Psychedelic

@Dodo

@kieranperez You got it. Keep walking the narrow path and keep the faith. Vision! Vision! Vision!

Musk is definitely beyond pure Orange. He's got a lot of Green in him. He's clearly got a great environmental consciousness and concern for mankind and values love. This is not common in pure Orange people. Musk is a good example of a Greenish CEO. It's a bit hard to tell how much Yellow he has. Not enough info in the video to tell.

@Zeldor That's good! (And also not good ) But there is still probably more. Do you have abiding nondual awareness? Or was it just a peak state that has since passed? Are you conscious of what you are? Are you conscious of what other people are? Are you conscious of why reality is? Are you conscious of what God is? Are you conscious of Infinity? Are you conscious of what death is? Have all metaphysical questions been answered in your mind?

This is fear. You wanna figure out what you are using this business/success to compensate for. What would happen if you lost your biz and never had success again in your life? What would be so wrong with that? Contemplate and try to face this fear. Realize it is something your ego is constructing as part of your survival agenda. Why do you feel so insecure? What deeper truths are you avoiding with all this success-striving?

@DrewNows "Bad" is a thought "Thought is a sense" is a thought. "I" is a thought

@CreamCat I am implying that you are uneducated about the topics you speak so passionately about. In fact, your passion is no accident. It is there precisely so that you don't feel the need to pick up a book. I am not going to explain feminism or post-modernism to you on a forum because these are nuanced topics which entire books have been written about and which require years of study to understand properly. These are not conversations for online keyboard jockeys. These are serious intellectual pursuits.

Do NOT go mushroom hunting or you will poison yourself.

@CreamCat How would you know if you can't even be bothered to read 5 books on the subject? How about you read 5 books written by feminists and 5 books written by post-modernists, and then we talk.
