Thriving in Being stems from mastering the fundamentals There are myriad degrees to comprehension Three basics every human should have nailed first and foremost: 1. Posture 2. Breath 3. Hydration / Nutrition Xxxx

@purerogueI had a dream recently that I was being chased around my old school by santa whilst I was naked. Lets cross our fingers and hope neither come true.

Hope you find some time to dance around naked today Bald Yoda Xxxx Love from Brighton UK!

4c is locked in. New models are saying 5c is locked in. New studies came out saying that they have discovered huge pools of Nitrous Oxide under Artic Ice which has 300+ times the effect CO2 has, but it also erodes the Ozone Layer. 4c means BOE means all that Methane and NO in the atmosphere means death of all life on earth. Extinction Rebellion is a Stage Green Egoic Movement that is too little to late. Picture Wiley The Coyote off the edge of the cliff, then looking down and falling. This is Humanity. This is Extinction Rebellion. ER hasn't even looked down yet . . . the rest of humanity isn't aware it is already of the cliff edge. The Ego and our unawareness is the main cause of all our troubles. What we need is a cognitive / spiritual / psychological evolution beyond Ego collectively which won't even happen in our time of plenty and mass information.; Let alone in the scarcity and war that will be coming with just even 2c. Extinction Rebellion is driven by the thing that got us here in the first place . . . Ego. Don't get me wrong, ER is a good thing, its just too little too late and it isn't anywhere close to dealing with anything of worth that will change anything at all. What do you think all those people would say if they were told that our societies consumption is unsustainable so much so that for Humanity to have any chance in surviving the century all consumption needs to halt NOW. Today. No more phones, no more electricity on mass, no more cars, planes, boats, mass agriculture, mass trade etc etc. Do you even think our complex systems could function without such? It is simple, our civilisation cannot and will not function as it does right now in 20 to 50 years time. We won't change. We will be forced into change. and it will make the Syrian refugee crisis seem like a stroll in the park. The reason the real numbers aren't thrown around is because of suppression from governments and top scientists who know that to give anything other than conventional numbers would spark mass depression, suicides, riots and strikes. The system would collapse and it would all fall apart. ER is already stretching the London Police force thin just over a week of these minor protests. Chaos would ensue if the reality of the situation went mainstream. Nothing is wrong in reality. Everything is exactly as it is. Only a Dualistic Ego would try to change anything beyond simply sitting and Being at this stage. How do we help Stage Blue/Orange move into Green and beyond? Look at what Leo has done with Actualized.org Awareness Alone is Curative. --- I started this thread a little while back. Got 1 response. And no I don't have links on hand for what I said above but the information is online if you look for it. Only thing I have close at hand with no effort of fishing for it is Paul Beckwith below with the latest Nitrous Oxide studies

@Vingger Reminds me of that picture someone photo-shopped where they gave him hair!

@Gabriel Antonio Those video clips are very telling in regards to the mental health and naivety of the people he is surrounded by . . . . . What are other peoples views on those clips?

What is Duality – Part 1 Leo's smile and laugh are beautiful! I don't think he cut for the whole 2.40 minutes of that lecture . . . Not my work. Copied and pasted from a Youtube User's efforts by the name of Ask Questions --- All human cognition is dualistic, which has enormous implications for all intellectual work, including science, philosophy, and culture. This two-part mini-series presents a detailed list of over 250 of the most common dualities and how they ultimately break down. “Every stick has 2 ends” 3 major groups Common dualities , scientific dualities , existential dualities. 250 common dualities All thinking is dualistic any intellectual activity is creating duality, we create dualities unconsciously Your own mind is creating these dualitistic opposing relative notions. What is the distinction between mind and world but a duality. We build our lives and societies and cultures on certain unquestionable duality which is very threatening to the ego. All science is dualistic, reality is dualistic. Your own mind defines and created these dualities and are not absolute where all dualities collapse. You're using your mind to create boundaries. Reality arises from denial of duality which itself is a category Dualities Up vs down Left vs right East vs west Soft vs big Forward vs backward Clockwise vs counterclockwise Long vs short Hot vs cold Weak vs strong Slow vs fast Smooth vs roof Odd vs even (is 0 even or odd , is 3.14...even or odd) Easy vs hard Empty vs full High vs low Decrease vs increase Heads vs tails Shallow vs deep Narrow vs broad Good vs evil White vs black True vs false Love vs hate Positive vs negative Should vs shouldn’t Right vs wrong Moral vs immoral Worst vs best *how much time spent debating Sad vs happy* you can’t have happiness without sadness Old vs new Young vs old success vs failure* how do you know something failed ? Reality vs fantasy Life vs death Good vs bad Science vs religion Man vs women Human vs machine Progress vs regress Pain vs suffering Thoughts vs feelings Foreground vs background Useful vs useless* if you didn't need to survive nothing would be useful you wouldn’t even need uselessness when things become useful other things become useless Essential vs not essential Inefficient vs efficient Boring vs exiting Here vs there Near vs far Rich vs poor Normal vs weird Xx vs Xy* means nothing what is a chromosome? Why should we give importance to certain chromosomes? Wow. White vs black (race) Flawed vs perfect (absolute perfect) Straight vs curve Dark vs light Dirty vs clean Wild vs tamed Simple vs complex Wet vs dry Common vs rare\ Pro vs cons Up sides vs down sides Fair vs unfair (absolute fair how much do you complain about unfair? One being through all permutations * Winning vs losing Gain vs loss Fake vs genuine* Fiction vs nonfiction fearful/Cowardness vs bravery Slave vs master Superficial vs profound Abstract vs concrete General vs specific Growth vs decay * how much do you chase never ending growth whatever goes up must come down Agitated vs calm Arrogance vs humility* humble people were once very arrogant usually when you were young, you becoming humbled by your arrogance from self reflecting and get sick of your own arrogance War vs peace Violence vs peace * it's only possible to have peace through war and violence (long term design is absolute and absolute peace striving for greater unity Personal vs impersonal* both Innocent vs guilty Past vs future* Happened vs will happen Confused vs clear Capitalism vs socialism vs communism Conservative vs liberal Legal vs illegal Criminal vs non criminal Criminal vs police Terrorist vs not terrorist* who can say who is and who isn't a terrorist Hero vs villain Journey vs destination Ruler vs ruled Ugly vs beautiful Masturbation vs sex Art vs non art Discord vs harmony Student vs teacher Child vs adult Healthy vs unhealthy Product development vs marketing Biology vs chemistry Civilized vs uncivilized Spirituality vs politics Church vs state Important vs unimportant Mother vs father Democracy vs tyranny Sober vs intoxicated Beginning vs end Needs vs wants Pain vs pleasure Individualism vs collectivism Primary vs secondary Thought vs feeling Theism vs atheism Consistent vs inconsistent Extreme vs moderate attraction vs repulsion Contraction vs expansion Dominant vs submissive Popular vs unpopular Mainstream vs niche Gross vs subtle Incremental change vs revolutionary change Status quo vs change Stable vs unstable Temporary vs eternal * Addition vs subtraction Addiction vs non attached (added my own) Work vs play Content vs context Closed vs open Local vs global Minimum vs maximum Lender vs borrower Buyer vs seller Entrance vs exit Like vs dislike Ignorance vs wisdom Emotional vs rational Functional vs dysfunctional Employee vs employer Sexual vs nonsexual Leader vs follower Victim vs abuser a lot of times the victim is an abuser somewhere else Predator prey Us vs them People vs corporations Private vs public Competition vs cooperation Safety vs danger Drugs vs psychedelics Mediocre vs excellent Implicit vs explicit Culture vs cults Ordinary vs extraordinary Serious vs playful Cat vs dog Scientific dualities Mind vs brain Energy vs matter You can distinguish these things but just realize you are the one creating these distinguishes Existential duality Existential duality are dualities most people don't want to question Fundamental law of epistemology All dualities are fundamentally untenable and temporary all dualities are relative and must eventually collapse. Corollary; dualities only holds when they are not deeply explored the deeper you explore any duality to its ultimate route what you will discover is that the further away you get from the edges of this duality you will see it collapse and the edges will bleed and circle back around in a unity and the entire time the duality was defined in terms of one another. Authenticity is absolute start self reflecting be weird ,stop looking in the mirror, and stop laughing at people. move yourself into integration

Wizard School!

@Matt8800 I agree. God has big plans and Humanity won't be a part of it for much longer but we could all attempt to go more mindfully no?

Jem Bendell is Professor of Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cumbria. Below is his paper titled Deep Adaptation he published in 2018. https://www.lifeworth.com/deepadaptation.pdf I'm posting it here for anyone who has peered into the latest climate science and is wondering on what paths they could possibly go travel over the next few decades. --- "The purpose of this conceptual paper is to provide readers with an opportunity to reassess their work and life in the face of an inevitable near- term social collapse due to climate change. The approach of the paper is to analyse recent studies on climate change and its implications for our ecosystems, economies and societies, as provided by academic journals and publications direct from research institutes. That synthesis leads to a conclusion there will be a near-term collapse in society with serious ramifications for the lives of readers. The paper reviews some of the reasons why collapse-denial may exist, in particular, in the professions of sustainability research and practice, therefore leading to these arguments having been absent from these fields until now. The paper offers a new meta-framing of the implications for research, organisational practice, personal development and public policy, called the Deep Adaptation Agenda. Its key aspects of resilience, relinquishment and restorations are explained. This agenda does not seek to build on existing scholarship on “climate adaptation” as it is premised on the view that social collapse is now inevitable. The author believes this is one of the first papers in the sustainability management field to conclude that climate-induced societal collapse is now inevitable in the near term and therefore to invite scholars to explore the implications."

This!

His name is Leo and he dances on the sand

@How to be wise What a glorious beard! It makes me want to dance

@Skanzi Does he have long beautiful glorious flowing hair? He seems to have the same name as this other guy I call Bald Yoda . . . Leo . . . I sense that isn't his real name you know. Probably something like Vladislav or Nikolay or Bob.

Who's this Leo guy?

Remove the beard
