No, it's because people are too ignorant to understand the sources of corruption. MAGA people think that corruptions comes from Hollywood, pedophiles, socialists, and globalist Jews. Understanding the true source of corruption requires wisdom and intelligence. The whole point is that corruption obscures its own source. When you make a deal with the devil, you think the devil is the good guy.

@Benton Great!

Austin is not dry. It rains there a decent amount. It's pretty green there. One of the biggest downsides is that it's the middle of Texas. You're in the middle of cowboy redneck country.

It's called tinnitus. Fairly common on this forum. Meditation, spiritual work, and psychedelics can certainly cause it.

@Carl-Richard Try Allicin, it's a natural antibiotic made from garlic extract. People say it can help with ear infections, and really, any kind of bacterial infections.

What behaviors of theirs created acceptance within you?

What did they actually do to make you feel acceptance?

List actual micro things they did to make you feel loved.

@Mulky Great! Thanks

Analyze the love retrospectively. More details. This is too vague.

The biggest downside and deal-breaker for me is that you can't flip through a book and find the sections you need.

I'm not trying to save the world. I'm not trying to save mankind from self-destruction. Yes, and good for him. I'm just saying it won't save the world. If he enjoys what he does, no problem. Yes, exactly. And I don't think Ken Wilber's work is gonna save the world either. I don't have contempt for him. I admire his work. I just said it won't save the world and it is not politically practical. You can talk endlessly about Game B, but our world runs on Game A, and it will run that way for the next 100 years at least. My point here is not contempt but to add some realism to the discussion. It's easy to get seduced and deluded into this Wilberian futurism where the whole world wakes up to Tier 2. That's not going to happen.

Murder is a relative concept invented by man. What counts as murder is whatever we say.

Society has had vaccine mandates for 200+ years. Nothing new here. Abortions do not go viral.

I'll consider that. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

No different than it's always been. Schmachtenberger's approach is like giving a college lecture on the deck of the sinking Titanic. His heart is in the right place but it's not a realistic political solution. Be ware of idiot compassion.

Well, that's what my judgment was based on.

Schmachtenberger is a smart guy. I like the way he thinks. But his whole job is sorta irrelevant because mankind is not going to kill itself and even if it is, Schmachtenberger's work will not prevent it.

Let's create it and anyone who goes there gets auto-banned

I am skeptical that this adds any value to this community. But let's see what people think.

I listened to it. It's standard neo-Advaita stuff. A great example of not God-realization.

The universe doesn't revolve around the desires of your ego.

Who said? How do you know that's true? What if you don't have to worry about that? What if your worry is just part of your selfishness? How about some faith that future generations can take care of themselves? Society is the best its ever been. The biggest problem future generations will have is being too spoiled by what we left behind for them.

It does little good to call reality a dream. The point is to be conscious of it. If it's just something you tell yourself verbally it's not helpful and perhaps even harmful because it contradicts your direct experience. Changing your consciousness is the point. If your consciousness isn't changing then it's all just hot air.

Why do you trust me? What if I am the Devil pointing you in the wrong direction? You're just going to believe me?
