  1. Okay. Let's say you take away human hands and replace them with feet. Now, the human is a four-legged creature. Your hand also has 5 fingers, the foot also has 5 fingers. But, the things the hand can do are radically different from the things the foot can do! Here's my claim (and this is what I think our fundamental disagreement is), is that human-beings, because of centuries of corruption, have created an unnatural system that's hierarchical instead of holarchical. That's like creating a foot, when you need a hand! Then, saying that 'But we needed 5 fingers! Shouldn't this work?! Isn't the hand just supposed to be the sum of 5 fingers?!' And 'Why isn't the large toe of the foot acting like the thumb of the hand? It's being self-centred by doing so!! We need you to be a thumb, so be a thumb!! Recognize what the hand needs you to be and become a thumb', when the problem isn't with the finger, it's with the fact that you have a foot, not a hand.
  2. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. It's not just the sum of its parts! Systems work in counter-intuitive ways.
  3. This is the problem with reductionism. You see the whole as the sum of its parts, and if all the parts 'do the right thing', the whole will be good. Not true at all! You need to be more big-picture to really see that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
  4. @roopepa You're only talking about what the finger should do. Not what the hand should do! You're assuming that what the hand is doing is good for the finger. What if it isn't? One of the big reasons your analogy is totally inaccurate is that in a hand, the 'hand' and 'finger' don't have separate brains, don't have separate senses of self. But with humans, we do! Also, you're assuming that the structure that we currently have is as natural as hands and fingers. I'll give you a difference - the hands and fingers structure really is holarchical. But, the system that humans have created is hierarchical! Not holarchical. We live in a majority-wins system. So, while in a hands-and-fingers system the hand does not see the finger as separate, humans do. The minority is always separate from the majority in humans!
  5. Actually, it is based on separation. By your way of looking at things, the 'finger' and 'hand' are separate! If the finger dies, the hand doesn't really care. It doesn't really matter to the hand if the finger dies! The hand can still function. You're saying that the finger should care about the fact that it is a part of the hand and that it should care about the hand. That is correct. But, you're letting the hand get away with not caring about the finger! This is why this analogy is based on the materialist paradigm. You're treating the two as separate!
  6. @roopepa What do you think I'm missing?
  7. It's like pointing water to a fish. Everything you're saying is within that context! Your ideas of 'covid and climate-change' are within that paradigm, 'the healthy hand' vs the finger (the two aren't separate outside of the material world), your idea of '1984 dystopian world' doesn't look so bad from the 3D materialist paradigm. In fact, it looks awesome, right?! Your idea of 'lies' vs 'truth' are within the materialist paradigm, where you're trying to show 'proof' to 'prove the truth' and you think that they're denying 'facts'. It'll seem like they're 'ignorant of the facts', where the idea of 'fact' is a materialistic thing. If you really want to see what's going on, look at the flow of information. As Leo talks about in his 'Social Matrix' video, look at where all your information comes from! Study the sources of your information, source everything you believe. See what you come up with! Prepare for the answers to shock you. Sorry to disappoint.
  8. @roopepa You're trying to understand it from within the materialist paradigm. You can't! It'll seem like total bullshit nonsense from the 3D materialist paradigm. If you really want to understand it, do it from outside the materialist paradigm. Do some psychedelic trips (if you must) and contemplate what they're saying. Then it'll start to make a lot more sense!
  9. @B_HAZ It very well could turn into something great! If you are inexperienced and want to explore, definitely don't throw away opportunities to do so for no reason. My only suggestion is prioritize healing your wounds. That way, if you turn out to not be meant for each other, you won't be left high and dry and you won't waste too much time with them. You'll know what to look for the next time!
  10. @Preety_India Here's my definition of attachment-relationship - A relationship in which both sides are intimately involved in each other's lives. It is your inner circle, the people who are in your private life. Look at my post on page 1 for more details! It is huge for Indians in general when it comes to relationships and arranged-marriage.
  11. There is only one solution to this. Work on your attachment-relationship problems. First with your parents, then in your dating-life. It might not seem that way but this is a dating-problem. That would be the right way to treat it if you want to solve it long-term.
  12. @B_HAZ Focus on healing your wounds. Don't worry about the relationship. The fact of the matter is that you don't know what's going to happen in the relationship or even whether it's a good idea or not if you haven't healed your wounds. Maybe you stop liking the other person after you heal your wounds! In which case you dodged a massive bullet by healing them.
  13. Human nature is not to react against fear. It is to feel fear, but not to react to it. And when we react to fear, we pay the price! Reacting to fear is not human nature. It's a choice.
  14. And by the way, this whole conversation about 'nature being on your side' also applies to climate-change. Nature is a lot bigger than CO2-emissions by humans!
  15. You know what? You're right! Making bank on the vaxes isn't such a bad idea, now that I think about it! You get to tell people that there's a new variant, then everyone gets scared, then you get to sell a vax! Third booster-shot, fourth booster-shot. The big pharma gravy-train is just never-ending! What a lucky accident for big pharma.
  16. That's not what it means to me to 'align with nature'. If that's what it means for you to align yourself with nature, you are free to do that! The point being, to align yourself with nature is an alternative possibility to being scared of it. It's understandable to be scared, but the mistake would be to react to that fear. My suggestion was to face that fear, if you remember!
  17. But, 'people' are not all of nature! They are a part of nature, but they're not all of nature. So, in order to align yourself with nature, you would have to look past your biases as a 'human'!
  18. Technically, it isn't. It's man-made technology. So, it's 'natural' if you say so! If you think it's natural, it's natural, if you don't think it's natural, it's not. The virus, on the other hand, is not man-made. It is natural, whether you term it that way or not.
  19. Doesn't apply cuz it does matter to a president, who deserves to live or die! Is that what you truly want though? You have to be honest here. I'm gonna tell you what most people did want that was made possible by COVID. Most people hated wage-slavery. So, when COVID hit, their kind of job became something of the past. Now, in order to survive, they have to start to move in the direction of their Life Purpose! They have to figure out a new survival-strategy, something that makes them happier. All forces of the universe are on the side of you getting what you want. The process is not going to be peaches and cream though! That's the trade-off of having a 3D-world.
  20. Ultimately, everyone dies. So, who deserves to live or die doesn't really matter to nature anyways. What matters is what you want. If you believe in the Law of Attraction, the principle is that all forces of nature are with you in creating what you want!
  21. Am I seeing people die? If yes, then I would get it. If no, then I would ask the questions that I'm asking about the '20%' figure. If I saw people die and if I saw vaccines saving people, then sure! I would get it. Edit - Seeing 'number of cases' would not convince me. I would need to see deaths to get it. Because you can have plenty of cases of a transmissible disease and not have it be so lethal!
  22. @Thought Art Fact-checker - It's not 99.8%. It's 99.799%. Therefore, the statement claiming that it's 99.8% is FALSE!! Someone please tell me it's not a content vs structure example. To be fair, that must be the job of the fact-checkers. To tweak decimal-points. And jargon. And play word-games. But hey, I'm 'ignorant' in your dictionary. Please feel free to 'fact-check' me!
  23. Death is natural. Disease is natural. Suffering, not so much! Nature would not want you to suffer. Nature IS on Team Human! If you don't see this, you are unconscious of it. To see this though, the human has to become completely neutral and unbiased. That's its own can of worms. What if you see that the virus is you? You are the virus! What if you see that the virus is a construction of your own mind? I'm not saying an imaginary you won't perform any imaginary actions to kill an imaginary virus. I'm just saying that if you see this, you won't be so scared of it. The way you deal with it won't be out of fear!
  24. All i would suggest is - Have faith that nature is with you instead of against you. If you believe in the Law of Attraction, one of the principles is that all forces in the universe are on your side to getting what you want. If you're so scared of viruses, you are scared of nature. I would face my fear of nature if I were in your position. Between nature and the pharma industry, who do you trust more? I trust nature! Who do you trust more - the Infinite Intelligence that created the whole universe, or an industry that sells you an illusion that you can control and stop this Infinite Intelligence from doing what it wants to do? Governments will most definitely sell you this illusion because their whole business-model is safety.
  25. @Leo Gura Which part does not make sense to you? Just say you're gonna roll with the narrative. That's fine. If that's the case, this discussion ends here and you can have your name.
