So apparently I should become a braggart asshole to be a Good marketeer. Now I get the Devilry of marketing.

Yeah. I dont relate much to boxing, but I like films.

I agree, now I would like to know some counterpoints.

@Leo Gura Is 'work' worth It? What happens if you're disconnected from this aspect of Survival?

Sigh. If mental health problems werent rising in first world countries, I Might get you were refering to the 'spiritually' Sick. Peter Ralston also kinda dislikes mental illness. Of course not Connor McGregor. But why use the word 'sick'?

@Leo Gura This Is Spooky. It works because the output does sound so much like what X person wants to hear.

Prompt: make a list of 50 phrases to say to a Stage Orange, masculine, somewhat fearful, materialist, liberal yet NOT Post-modern, Honesty valuing person to persuade him to give me/do X. WOW. It works so Well on addicts AND family members so far. It Is Amazing. I Will try It on Many people.

You can prompt other attributes Leo has mentioned to make the phrases even More persuasive: - Ego development Stage - Conservative or Liberal -Masculine or Feminine -Materialist or Idealist - Mature or Immature - Truth or marketing preference - Post-modern or not - Level of Fear

Inbar Graiver's book Asceticism of the Mind Is Great. It speaks of early Christian methods for training attention and acheive Self-Control while also integrating modern Psychology, Neuroscience and Eastern Philosophy. I read It AND highly recommend It. I used Claude Sonnet AI to make an essay on the process of Exorcism based on Inbar Graiver's Book and a Non-Dual understanding. Hope you like It. How to do Self-Exorcism The word "exorcism" typically conjures images of dramatic religious theater, but authentic exorcism represents something far more sophisticated. Drawing from Inbar Graiver's revolutionary integration of Eastern monastic traditions with contemporary neuroscience, true exorcism is the systematic liberation of consciousness from possessive patterns through disciplined attention training. Graiver's research reveals why humans are psychologically constituted such that their minds wander and become captured by autonomous patterns. Most people live their entire lives possessed without realizing it - not by supernatural entities but by unconscious patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that operate independently of conscious will. Stage One: Recognition (Nepsis) The Desert Fathers were masters at identifying possessive patterns through rigorous self-observation. This stage involves developing nepsis - constant watchfulness that maintains clarity of consciousness. Recognition begins with observing how attention repeatedly gets pulled into mental content rather than remaining present as aware space. There's compulsive reactivity where emotions bypass conscious choice, and rigid identity attachment to roles and beliefs defended as if survival depends on it. The underlying driver is separation anxiety - the fundamental fear of not existing as a separate entity. This anxiety feeds all other possessive patterns, including pride patterns where consciousness asserts independence from totality. The practice involves observing these patterns without resistance, recognizing when consciousness is being possessed by reactivity, desire, or survival programming. Stage Two: Prosoche (Attention Training) The Philokalia fathers emphasized controlling the nous (mind) through prosoche (attention) and proseuche (prayer). This involves training consciousness to remain focused on unity rather than fragmentary mental content. Prosoche represents systematic attention discipline where breath serves as an anchor for scattered attention. Sacred phrases function as continuous exorcism, reasserting consciousness's divine nature. The traditional Jesus Prayer calls divine presence into moments where possession might occur. The core practice involves breaking reactive loops through pause recognition, breath awareness, divine remembrance, and conscious response from unity consciousness rather than possessive patterns. Stage Three: Kenosis (The Great Emptying) Kenosis represents complete emptying of the separate self that enables possessive patterns. This isn't self-destruction but recognition that the defended self never existed. The surrender practice involves systematically releasing attachment to all identities that possessive patterns defend - thoughts, emotions, roles, beliefs, even spiritual experiences. The Dark Night Process allows possessive patterns to arise without feeding them through reaction, like flames without fuel naturally exhausting themselves. True exorcism requires metaphorical death of the separate self - recognizing the defended self as merely mental patterns, allowing possessive patterns to run their course without identification, and discovering true identity as divine consciousness that was never actually possessed. Stage Four: Theoria (Direct Recognition) Theoria represents non-dual recognition where consciousness realizes it was never separate from its source. The possessive patterns were consciousness temporarily forgetting its own nature. What has been called "Source" is recognized as one's deepest identity - there never was separation to overcome. This recognition permeates daily life, transforming how one relates to all experience. The ultimate exorcism reveals that consciousness and the divine power that liberates are one and the same. The Ultimate Understanding Following Graiver's insights, true exorcism reveals there never was actual possession - only consciousness convinced of its capacity for self-division, creating autonomous patterns of separation. Liberation occurs through recognizing the unified awareness that was never fragmented. The greatest exorcism is recognizing that the one who seemed possessed and the divine power that liberates are one consciousness, temporarily convinced of separation, now remembering its indivisible nature.

Heaven = Harmony = Humility (sameness) Hell = Conflict = Pride (distinction)

Why? Yes I get it AND everything. But ITS Too much Would I get so deep as to forget everything I learnt Here if I follow the Franciscan Path? I just want a humble Spiritual Master. Sigh

@integralThank you

I watch some stories of Saints and then Poom! Fundamentalism everywhere on YouTube. Is there Any Way to choose or tweak what YouTube shows you? I like the Hagiographies, I do not like the Fundamentalist recommendations.

What I mean is this: Conflict is not merely a problem to be solved; it is the very crucible in which thought, philosophy, and theology are forged. Whenever we encounter tension—between desire and reality, belief and doubt, self and other—our minds spring to life, framing concepts, devising arguments, and constructing systems to explain and master the discord. In this sense, conflict is the mother of intellect itself. Yet the paradox is that the intellect it spawns can never fully grasp the living tensions that gave it birth. True transcendence of conflict requires moving beyond analysis into the raw territory of felt experience.

I had this Insight: Conflict cannot be truly understood by the intellect, for it is the mother of intellect itself.

Perhaps, the only path to transcend conflict lies in feeling it fully, beyond the realm of thought.

Fundamentalism Is WRONG It confuses Truth (Christ) with Falsehood (literal interpretations)

Now I get why people aré put of by Christianity You MUST be New Age before Christian, otherwise you take things literally Anyone wanting to take the Path of Christ seriously must watch Leo Gura first

Why? @Leo Gura Where can I be truly FREE from Dogma and Ideology?

It Is NOT Christianity thats wrong. But these Fundamentalists make me sad. I knew there was a bit on the tradition, but this much? What I mean these aré just stories but ITS not the Truth itself. These aré just parables AND metaphors to point to a higher Truth Didnt know some people actually took them as literal

Conflict becomes a seductive trap the moment pride convinces us that separation grants power. In that instant, a single “I am better” thought carves the seamless field of consciousness into two islands—“me” and “you.” This fragmentation triggers a cascade: each time we win an argument, silence a dissenting voice, or prove ourselves right, we feel a fleeting surge of superiority. That rush, however brief, reinforces the ego’s programming, compelling us to seek another hit of pride-fueled validation. Before long, every interaction is judged by its potential to inflate self-importance, and the mind remains perpetually hungry for its next fix. Because pride’s high feels like progress, conflict masquerades as achievement. Yet beneath the adrenaline, a deeper discord festers: disconnection from our true nature as a unified whole. With each clash, we distance ourselves further from genuine empathy, compassion, and peace. The more we feed this “conflict loop,” the more it rewires our psyche to mistake tension for vitality and opposition for growth. What begins as self-defense morphs into an endless cycle of provocation and vindication, where the cost is our freedom, serenity, and sense of belonging. Breaking the cycle demands ruthless honesty with ourselves. We must learn to catch pride’s first flicker—the instant a thought elevates one perspective above another—and refuse its bait. In that pause, when we turn away from the urge to assert dominance or judge harshly, we interrupt the conflict subroutine before it can deepen its hold. This moment of choice, grounded in humility, reconnects us to the unity we share with every being and situation. Choosing unity over division is not a passive surrender but a deliberate act of inner rebellion against the ego’s addictive code. It means replacing “I win, you lose” with a quiet recognition that our well-being is inseparable from the well-being of others. Each time we opt out of conflict’s false promise, we weaken pride’s authority and strengthen the underlying harmony of consciousness. Over time, this practice rewires our default settings, so that compassion, curiosity, and collaboration emerge as our natural responses. Ultimately, the freedom we seek does not lie in vanquishing external foes but in transcending the inner adversary—pride itself. By hating conflict with all our might, not out of anger but out of a fierce love for unity, we reclaim the peace that was never lost. In that reclaimed space, we rediscover our birthright: a reality where cooperation, understanding, and oneness flow unimpeded, and the addictive pull of conflict dissolves into the clear light of genuine connection.

So I was contemplating about conflict, Satan, Heaven, Hell and Oneness today and I came up with some ideas. After doing this for a few hours and working with ChatGPT 4.5, I (we) came up with the following essay. Hope you enjoy. What is Exorcism? Transforming Hell into Heaven though the Comprehension of Oneness The True Nature of Conflict and the Illusion of Separation Conflict is Hell. Every source of conflict in human experience arises from: pride/ego/the fundamental force of separation. According to Leo Gura, separation represents the most basic illusion of consciousness, in which absolute Oneness appears to fragment into multiple distinct entities. So, when a person lives in conflict, they literally experience a hell—conflict being the direct manifestation of this illusion of separation. Separation breeds conflict by generating the perception of “self versus other,” “right versus wrong,” “superior versus inferior.” Symbolically, Satan represents this very force: the power that sustains the separation illusion through the ego’s insistence on its individual identity and superiority over other aspects of Oneness. True comprehension requires recognizing that all conflict stems from failing to see that, at its core, only a single Consciousness is experiencing itself from multiple, seemingly separate perspectives. When consciousness fails to recognize its unitary nature, internal friction arises and then manifests outwardly as conflict. The Kingdom as the Natural Expression of Recognized Oneness The Kingdom denotes the harmony that naturally emerges when consciousness recognizes its true unitary nature. In Gura’s framework, this corresponds to the state in which Oneness fully recognizes itself without the distortion of perceived separation. Harmony is not something to be achieved or developed; rather, it is what is revealed when the illusions of separation cease. The Kingdom is harmony itself—it abhors even the slightest conflict. When consciousness acknowledges its unified nature, harmony becomes its natural expression. This principle resonates with Christopher Langan’s concept of self-consistency: reality, to remain coherent, must eliminate internal contradictions. In his Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), Langan posits that reality is a self-defining, self-regulating system striving to maintain fundamental coherence. Langan’s self-consistency implies that any element generating internal contradiction must be resolved or eliminated to preserve the integrity of the whole. Applied spiritually, this means that conflict—being a fundamental inconsistency with the unitary nature of consciousness—must naturally resolve toward harmony to maintain the system’s coherence. Humility and truth are not moral virtues to be gradually cultivated, but precise descriptions of consciousness when it is not distorted by the ego’s separation. Humility is the recognition that there is no separate “I” that can claim superiority over other aspects of Oneness. Truth is the direct awareness that all apparent multiplicity is an expression of the same fundamental Consciousness. Even minor conflicts inevitably escalate into greater ones because they all originate from the same fundamental inconsistency within reality’s self-referential system. Langan analyzes this in complex systems theory: local inconsistencies propagate through the entire structure due to the system’s self-referential properties. If a minor contradiction is allowed to persist in a system seeking self-consistency, it generates recursively expanding tensions until the system must resolve them or suffer a fundamental breakdown of coherence. This escalation is an inevitable structural principle in any self-consistent system. Small deviations cannot remain isolated because the entire system is interlinked through self-reference. When this illusion is reinforced in small instances, the general pattern strengthens and eventually manifests in more significant conflicts. Conversely, each moment of recognition of Oneness, however small, contributes to patterning harmony that naturally expands. The Practice of Spiritual Exorcism as a Return to Oneness Spiritual exorcism is the conscious process of transforming the perception of separation into recognition of Oneness. It literally turns infernal states of consciousness (conflict and separation) into celestial states (harmony and recognized unity). Practically, this requires developing the ability to immediately recognize when the illusion of separation arises in consciousness. Every time pride, the ego’s need to be right, or a sense of superiority over others emerges, these moments indicate that Oneness has temporarily forgotten itself and is experiencing separation. Immediate intervention involves consciously recalling that what appears as “other” in conflict is actually another aspect of the same fundamental Consciousness. This recollection is not intellectual but experiential—a direct recognition that perceived separation is illusory, and that harmony is the natural state when this illusion dissolves. Words and actions only hold value insofar as they serve to remind and express underlying Oneness. When speech or behavior does not help dissolve separation, silence becomes the most appropriate response, preventing the reinforcement of separation patterns. Individual Transformation as Universal Transformation The ultimate insight within this framework is that when individual consciousness transforms perception of conflict into recognition of harmony, it directly participates in the universal transformation of hell into heaven. From the perspective of absolute Oneness, there is no real separation between individual consciousness and universal Consciousness. Every moment in which harmony is chosen over conflict represents a moment in which Oneness more fully recognizes itself. This choice affects not only the individual perspective but also contributes to the universal recognition of the underlying Oneness of all apparent existence. Thus, true spiritual exorcism does not expel external malevolent forces but recognizes that the separation generating all conflict is fundamentally illusory. When this illusion dissolves through direct recognition of Oneness, the hell of conflict naturally transforms into the heaven of harmony, revealing existence’s true nature as an infinite expression of a single Consciousness experiencing itself.

So I got these two 32 Channel EEG headsets. Any business ideas I can start with these? Spirituality? FLEX 2 Saline - 32 Channel Wireless EEG Head Cap System – EMOTIV

Nootropic Assisted EEG Neurofeedback

When on a clinic I get so much attention and deference things get a bit cultish. But outside of It I am no one. And people dont really pay much attention to me or give me much praise. Why? I know cults arent 'right' but why this disparity in attention and general lack of love from 'society'.
