You could try show him how the religious people literally didn't recognise that the person standing Infront of them was the fulfilment of every theoretical thing they'd ever learned. I didn't get it at the time but looking back it clicks pretty well. The fulfilment of religious promises can look pretty wacky and outlandish. Religious people are like a treasure hunter who worships the map. Another decent analogy is someone having some kind of device that has a special purpose and people can see it has a special purpose so they protect it like a precious ornament and put their faith in it. Then it becomes a sacred and holy ornament and they make a religion around it called the order of the holy ornament. Then after centuries of worshipping the holy ornament some random person walks in, grabs it, is kinda rough with it and gives it a shake by their ear and figures out it's actual purpose, needless to say to the horror of the worshipers. This is more twisted than it sounds. For the religious person there is literally no greater news than to find that everything you've ever studied is actually real and happening before their eyes. This is only emphasised by a hundred with things such as god and salvation. It's actually real, but they'll mistake it for insanity or witchcraft or some other bs (which is also understandable given the absurd and chaotic look all this stuff has). The most bewildering part is this; a religious person will be sitting, staring the fulfilment of their lifes work, hopes and dreams directly in the eye and will refuse it in favour of their tradition because it is what is familiar. Even though their tradition is pointing at it!!

@Leo Gura quick question bro, would group think be inherently bad (bad in the regular sense, like harmful)? Because I grew up quite deeply blue and had to learn how to think more explicitly about green ideals like anti-racism and anti-sexism or anti-homophobia etc. of course it's better to have a realisation rather than just parroting...but I mean some group think is essentially unavoidable without thousands or tens or hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. So some group think is better than others? Like, not often, but I would find myself parroting some things sometimes and I just trust that they're right because they're spoken by someone who've I've found to be correct with other things. Wouldn't do it much, but better than parroting the kkk..?

The book "Materialism is Baloney" is good for this. Something I've realised is, because I myself, like many who are attracted to Leo's content, didn't require my mind to be freed up or pried open as much as I needed someone who's head was as far up in the sky as my own, but who was calibrated and coordinated so I could reign my mind in. the difficulty with these kinds of leoites is that we tend to prefer airy fairy stuff and thus aren't familiar with how archaic established intellectual organisations truly are. I have little interest in academia and I don't think I'll like it any time soon, but from what I have heard it's super technical and bogged down in loads of mumbo jumbo. Like fighting with rocks and sticks. Some of the most clueless people in the world are blessed with the lack of knowledge of how broken the world actually is. Or how ineffective it is at just doing things. It's the classic simplicity of a kid beating the intelligence of feared giant.

Weed=Enemy. Weed + psychedelics = double enemy (unless your using the psychedelics to get yourself off the weed by exposing yourself to the raw suffering). Stop smoking weed. Your welcome.

For me learning how to dominate in a world of stupidity is valuable. Trusting God for the most part is the central power source. I've had to learn from a young age that being right isn't enough, you need to be heavy with it, otherwise you can't get traction at all and there is always a line of 100 fools waiting to tell you that your wrong. It becomes less about being right and more about recognising how to handle an endless ocean of dumbasses.

People are attracted to what they don't got

Also incase the sarcasm is unclear, what I'm actually saying is...there will be many retards who are in positions of power and authority who try to fuck you and tell you to suck it up. Simply inform them that they can go and fuck themselves repeatedly and continue fucking themselves every day for the rest of their lives. Riding into the sunset, alls well that ends well.

I'll give you the advice professionals once gave me, best way to get rid of suicidal levels of suffering? Just let it go pal be sweet in the morning. Stop ruminating. Boom. Entire situation fixed. God, looking back...these guys were secretly geniuses the whole time!!!

If you smoke too much of it it can cause schizophrenia... Or symptoms that you might imagine a schizophrenic would experience

Op, it'll take more than a few alliances to overpower the west. West will likely remain leaders in infrastructure, wealth and general dominance. I take a more qualitative perspective. Numbers aside, the USA is around the half way mark on the list of countries ranked for mental illness. The UK is the second worst in the same scale. It actually baffles me how such massive world names could go so wrong. But I did contemplate and arrived at the following insight: prosperity breeds complacency. It's sad to see countries that used to be bright and fun just devouring themselves from the inside. I have no doubt it's just a necessary part of the journey that must be passed through and that there will be better times, but I mean... god damn, the entire fucking thing is rotten and stinking and fucking vulgar. Unworthy of being inhabited by homeless people. In fact, the homeless people who do live in the west probably avoid the majority of the sewage by flying under the radar of the sewage masters. I think the west has just got bored and said "guys, guys, come here. I have a new idea, let's fuck up the entire country. Why you ask? No reason. LOL."

Op, first one got me

Also, as I have stated many times before I have a lot of experience with being completely lost, In Religion, in addiction and a myriad of other mental constructs, and having come out of what is essentially a swarming swamp of mental chaos into more stability and insight, I can see that humanity is basically mired in insane amounts of mental lostness. People having debates and wars that are so far off the reserve it's insane. And I mean modern day normal, every day people. Not that they can't be smart, but most lack the maturity to be able to cut through what I think is some kind of vibrational psychological presets. I would say that when the rubber meets the road and true maturity is demanded, it is revealed that people are basically just following the leader and moving with the motions of the herd. And it is a herd. It's beautiful, but I've had it revealed to me so strongly, that most people can't be helped to the degree that is needed, basically the vast majority are completely fucking lost if you zoom out and away from the the little domain that they've memorised. It's actually fucking crazy. We are in the dark ages

I've first hand witnessed the power of ideology. I've seen people choose to literally risk death rather than defying their ideas people who believe that COVID isn't as bad as gov makes out and vaccine is more dangerous and the scientific evidence is biased. I have seen people choose decades of mental pain rather than admit that weed has major negative side effects. Mind has power. Just look at catholic crusades, killed millions because of a holy book. Many will choose literal death before they choose to let go of an ideology regardless of how harmful. I think trump is a good example of someone who's not likely to change.

Shaking hands?

Kinda cool to investigate. Would I be typing these words if you hadn't asked this question? Do I decide how much insight I have? Do I govern how the electromagnetic neural networks in my brain have learned how to articulate an idea? Is there such a thing as a truly organic thought.. even if I chose not to think about your question, it would be for a reason, something in me that is well beyond my decision. But I do think there are thoughts that originate from higher levels of organic creativity. Everything influences everything. I wouldn't even be communicating in English right now if I was born in Tibet. This influence is so strong that it's hard to say that any thought is original at the most rigorous classification of what would qualify as truly original. In simpler terms, breaking things apart and rebuilding them manually seems to be the mark of higher levels of original richness.

Don't know bro, something tells me the father's of dead sons would say different. Thing about it is, I know for a fact that if there was a son that did kill himself, and they heard about the father walking in and finding the sons dead body. It would cause them to think "serves him right." With no recognition as to the devastating effects of their sheer fuckwitery. There is simply no words to describe degenerates of this calibre. If they killed themselves it would save lives. If the roles were reversed, and it was them who walked in to the find that one of their offspring had committed suicide something says a chuckle and a witty remark wouldn't be the correct response

During peak experiences the chair becomes a throne, the blanket becomes a gown. It's like everything becomes ordered perfectly.

One problem I do see is people who think they know the highest levels of consciousness trying to teach "normies." I myself don't know the highest levels of consciousness and I make an effort to only speak about what I actually do understand. Of course it's not my place to judge whether someone knows the highest levels, but I do get a strong intuition that many of the ones who claim to know are nowhere near it. I know that many who do know the higher levels will remain silent in the background of this community. I also know that actually knowing the highest levels really solidly will warp your reality so hard it will likely make them completely not care about saying anything about it. In this respect it is an absolute miracle that Leo has the patience to tell us

Excellent points. I'm growing more and more aware of how my imagination generates reality. Was chatting with my Buddhist teacher just last week about this analogy: A young person sees a person wearing a mask and holding a gun while exiting a bank, they point at the individual and say "Bad!" Clearly, while this does encapsulate some basic and obvious facts, it is also an oversimplification that will invariably fail to calculate other, key contextual artifacts. Maybe the individual is stealing money to pay for their child's cancer treatment or perhaps they're being blackmailed. These additive elements obviously don't excuse the action, but it does shine light on the fact that the real world is often more complex than what is comfortable or convenient for us to assess with the appropriate degree of realistic accuracy. Perhaps the individual is an undercover government agent. This analogy is a slightly accentuated example of how the mind can oversimplify things in the waking dream. AI calls this phenomena "Heuristic-Based Categorisation" or "Cognitive Shortcutting." As has been talked about by others in this community, fear is an excellent defence mechanism for these oversimplified projections. If you can take some scientific findings, formulate them into systematized ideology (set of ideas), enshroud the ideology with more ideas that are scary, come up with a neatly packaged term or identifying label for this "thing" and get everyone to subscribe to it... It will spread like wildfire and will be assumed to be as factual as the concrete on the pavement and the fear surrounding it will make it difficult or impossible for the masses to actually investigate. Some examples of ideas [that are actually ideologies within the mind] (pay close attention to the emotions you feel when hearing each label). Each of these causes a subconscious emotional trigger of being the -prototype- of X or Y: - professional (prototype of competence) - psychologist (prototype of understanding the mind). - astrophysicist (intelligent) - teacher (wholesome) Often you'll find that "professionals" are anything but competent (and yet their value stands) and astrophysicists might make common mistakes in the social domain. Some of my favourite negative ones (pay super close attention to the contextual and emotional sensations that are triggered within the mind and body when you view these terms): - narcissist. - ego maniac. - gaslighter. - terrorist. When the oversimplified mental projections of the mind (which are based in some truth) are shrouded in extra ideas that induce a particular amount of fear...people are energetically discouraged from analyzing them independently or critically.
