Follow the leader!

Not so sure about that... https://www.forbes.com/sites/jacobmorgan/2015/07/13/the-5-types-of-organizational-structures-part-3-flat-organizations/#71278ec86caa

Nothing! Lol

@Galyna check this website when you have some free time... https://enlightenmentmyth.com/

Lol... thanks Galyna. I am a bit naive sometimes. Now that I recall I think in the website of the publishers they added a note saying that Jed is not teaching anything. I will take a look again... But thanks again!

This ones are supposed to have some kind of hierarchy. There's a group of people that they are like the ones who work on the management side of the project. They earn more money that common workers, but the difference is not so big as we see now in actual capitalism. Everybody has the right to vote in an important decision, but... there's a management that decides too and that is responsible for the well being of the company and the workers. They say that because workers have part on the company, they are really like owners of the company too, so they are more interested in the company to work well, so they work harder. They have workshops where they teach workers how to combat the abuses that can be made on a company like that, there's more regulations than before. But really, I am not very well informed. I just read some articles about that. I will find out more. Thanks Leo for your videos about this topic. They are really helpful to have a more open minded vision about this complicated topic.

hahaha... there must be some who are doing that, because he's still with the forum trying to attract more "customers"... that's one of the things that make me doubt about if he is the real Jed... Anyway, if you read his posts, I think they are helpful... let me know what you think about them. He has a section where he post some "rants" and he talks about some "truth"... I feel like what he writes is very much aligned with what he says in his books. But maybe I am biased...

Got it. I was always attracted to the idea of a free society, kind of anarchist societies. But I never found a way to maintain order without some kind of control of that "freedom". What you are saying makes more sense. Right now I am more thinking on applying some of those principles inside of a capitalist society, like you said, creating controls from the government. I think is the only way... there's a movement that is trying to democratize workplaces. They create or incentive people to create workers cooperatives. Anyway, I don't see that ideas taking strenght in the actual society, they can work... but they are almost isolated, they don't become "popular ideas". This is a video about that, I don't know if you saw it before. It wouldn't be a completely free libertarian (left) society, but it would bring some of that ideas to the actual society (capitalist or social democracy... )

Well, that's what happened with the Incas when europeans came to South America. True... and same thing to the commune "Revolutionary Catalonia" in Spain in the times of Franco. It would be interesting to read George Orwell's book: Homage to Catalonia. @Lyubov

https://jedmckenna.createaforum.com He posts some stuff I think is interesting... the thing is that he has a kind of "navigator series"... once I sent him an e-mail to know about it and he was asking like 3 grands for the course, so... I told him I couldn't pay for it... that maybe in the future... (But I have no intentions at the moment... ) There was even some users here (in this forum some time ago) that posted stuff against him, saying that this guys is not Jed, etc... so, be careful.

What about the Kibbutz in Israel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz Communal kibbutz: a society for settlement, being a separate settlement, organised on the basis of collective ownership of possession, of self-employment, and of equality and cooperation in production, consumption and education.

hahaha! Yes! He was one of the first ones I read, maybe I have to give it a second lectura. I want to read the whole trilogy. Spiritual Enlightenment, the Damnedest Thing Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment and Spiritual Warfare He has a forum around there, but... some people say is not him. If you are interested I can send you the link. There's a lot of controversy about who he really is and what he does and doesn't... I really don't pay too much attention, I just follow my intuition. I think the guy in that forum is really him... (but I am openminded to the fact that maybe is not... )

Maybe in the video about the dark side of meditation? I have to watch it again...

Ugh!!! Lol... I'll do that. I read about it also from Charles Dickens, he used to say the same thing. But he said that you have to eat the frog!!! Lol

Thanks James! This helps me a lot! Appreciated!

@dimitri @Galyna Cool thanks!!!

Jed McKenna? Or Terence McKenna? The damnedest thing, right?

Got you... I always knew that. But people keep saying "thoughts just appear"... they have a purpose, and it is us (me) who are (is) creating it for the ego mind. Right?

I know... I am going to read it once from beginning to end and then I will go back to it and read it more carefully. And that is going to be a book I will have to read again every time, is like the Bible.

Thoughts come from awareness? Ok, I have to find out by myself... I know... my ego is anxious

I have it in my nightstand hehehe... I stopped it a little bit to read "The Book of Not Knowing" that I mentioned you the other day. I am like at halfway of it... I will continue with I am That when I finish the Peter Ralston's one.

I know! I know I am in my thoughts right now. I will try to get the ego bored too!

I will try it tonight, I let you know.

Because when I talk to myself, when I think "I have to do this or that".. who is saying it? Is it GOD? Well... I am God, because there's no other thing than GOD.

@Galyna 3 years maybe!!! Look what Nisargadatta said: https://integralyogamagazine.org/nisargadatta-s-story/
