It's not a valid concern because: A) no mainstream person anywhere is advocating communism or Marxism, B) stage Green is not communism. There is not a single communist elected official in America. You have to start to become aware of capitalist propaganda. It goes almost unnoticed in the US. Read some Noam Chomsky if you want to understand how this propaganda game works. Valid political concerns would be: gross income inequality, corporate corruption of government through lobbying and dark money, the military-industrial complex pushing for endless wars and arms deals, 50,000+ people dying every year from corporate pushing of prescription opioid drugs, and environmental pollution which gives people cancer and disease. These are real measurable issues that kill tens of thousands of people very year. These issues need solutions which stage Blue & Orange cannot provide. Only Green+ can attempt to solve those problems.

@Serotoninluv Of course, that's classic Blue: "Women are here to serve men because they are the weaker gender and need men to defend them from being stolen by other men." Which is why the alt-right is so obsessed with cucking. It's a projection of their own fears. There's nothing original about this value system. It's been the dominant value system for over 1000 years. But now it is dying in Western democratic countries all over the world. But Blue will not let it go. Hence people JP construct a clingy ideology to counteract the inevitable.

@Gabriel Antonio That's right, especially all of JP's criticisms of Green. What's being pointed out here is the self-biased nature of the ego-mind.

By JP's logic we should abolish capitalism and install socialism. JP is bitching about sexual inequality while being completely oblivious of the most glaring inequality in society: money & power! The entire argument for socialism is that the money and power hierarchy has become way too steep to the point of destabilizing society. Yet all of this is totally lost on JP as he worries about feminists robbing men of the sexual power they amassed over centuries of stage Blue patriarchy. The way a stage Blue ego-mind works is, it is hyper-sensitive to the dangers of new progressive ideas, but totally in denial of the destabilizing dangers of the status quo. Because fundamentally, stage Blue ego is fighting to defend the status quo regardless of what the status quo is or does. That is Blue's agenda. That is JP's agenda. Somehow tens of millions of poor wage slaves is okay, but tens of thousands of sexually incompetent incels is a giant problem in need of a socialist-like redistribution of vagina. How convenient that redistribution of power is totally fine, and even paramount, so long as the power is being redistributed back to the top of the old Blue hierarchy. The top on which JP and his fanboys would like to make their nest. JP is a rooster squawking because his roost is being removed.

Actually, that's just an illusion. His ideology is full of absurd contradictions like this: Joe pokes holes in JP's bullshit Blue value system very quickly. It's easy to sound coherent when you're speaking to a crowd of angsty young white males age 18-24 who have never bothered to seriously study politics, feminism, government, post-modernism, socialism, philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, science, sociology, history, religion, mysticism, or self-help. All you gotta do is tell them what they want to hear and to their ego-mind it will sound coherent. Also, eloquence has nothing to do with truth, reality, development level, or consciousness. The most eloquent people are usually full of shit.

He is not a personal development teacher. He's a squirrely academic. First rule of personal development: Don't take self-help advice from academics.

The ego don't like getting its reality undermined. Of course. And so what? Who said you have to like everything you encounter?

@Taylor04 Green is not truly integral. Green's mixing of East and West is shallow and flaky.

@Outer A mindfuck that would send a dualist like JP into a nervous breakdown.

Lol His whole life is fear based. What else can you expect from such an ego? Fear is his whole organizing principle and same for his fanboys. They are frightened children trying to act macho without any awareness of what is driving them.

@kieranperez It is not simply a matter of "new stuff". It's about the level of depth one grasps it at. As I have said many times before -- but people refuse to hear me -- there are incredible degrees of depth to this work. Whatever you think you've understood or grasped, you can understand and grasp it 1000x deeper. People mislead themselves by looking for new topics, new teachings, new experiences, when what is really most paramount is grasping old vanilla teaching more fully. How deeply do you understand what existence is? That is the key thing.

@kieranperez Yes, there is enormous wisdom in yoga. It's a very powerful technology.

Well, at least this shows you are starting to question existence. Which is the most important point. Of course none of the above is actual conscious, it's more just your mind starting to realize that conventional knowledge is a farce. Reality did not come out of nothing. It is nothing. Something and nothing are identical. The mistake is seperating the two, holding them as opposites.

@zunnyman I said the online course is weak sauce.

Gifted people tend to take their gifts for granted. It can be difficult for some gurus to realize just how stuck, dysfunctional, and addicted most people are. Ralston teaches stuff that 99.9999% of ordinary people will never get.

@MM1988 When a person is deluded in Chinese, you speak to them in Chinese. All symbolic representations of Truth are self-negating and contradictory.

Psychedelic trips always come with risks. This cannot be avoided. Ultimately, the only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on.

I found this very amusing. Brace yourself: https://www.quora.com/Is-Leo-Gura’s-Actualized-org-a-scam

Enough

@Joseph Maynor No, you're only whoring yourself out if you are whoring yourself out. Not everyone is a whore. And there are many degrees of whoring. Watch out with this overly simplistic, fatalistic thinking. If not being a whore is important to you, you can design such a life. Saying that everyone is a whore is like saying everyone is a criminal. That's a very convenient way to think if you are a criminal.

All of this is purely subjective and relative -- a construction of your mind. The differences are large and significant only because your ego says so. Notice how you sneak your egoic agenda into the discussion to help you convince yourself that you have a winning argument here. The oil spill only matters because you think it matters to your survival. The oil spill is a positive thing from the perspective of bacteria that thrive off eating the dead animals killed by the spill. All argument is ego, not truth. Once you see the truth, you will stop all argument.

It does not have to be that way. That's the way of lazy sheep. That happens to people because they never do personal development. Senility is not just some random affliction. It is caused by things like improper diet, improper use of one's mind and body, and improper lifestyle.
