Ah okay got it. Different context.

Whenever people talk about 'implicit social assumptions' it's been my experience that those assumptions are self-biased. For example, I say 'You should go and work out more' you nod your head, I may have an implicit assumption that you agree with me, when that may not be the case! So the next time if I ask you 'Hey did you start working out' and get angry with you for not meeting my expectation of you, I'm gonna say that it was implicitly assumed that you agree! Here, as far as I can see, the issue is unclarity and haziness around what exactly is going on. The solution would be to clarify things so that communication is clearer! I get that there are inexplicable energetic dynamics in flirting. But, I disagree that women are more intuitive. Being more expressive with your emotions/getting more carried away with emotions isn't being intuitive! There's very few people who actually follow their intuition and act according to it. Doing this right would require both sides to be tuned into the dynamics AND respond accordingly! If women really were more intuitive, they'd teach their sons to be more intuitive, therefore men would be more intuitive. By now, we'd be living in an intuitive conscious utopia if that were the case!

'Cult' is a big keyword here. It's really fascinating to see how an entire party is under the spell of Trump of all people! Damn if Trump can start a cult, I can too!! Come join my cult! I'll teach you how to sexually connect with each other with theory and practicals All you gotta do is give me all your property . (I'm kidding when I say this. Please don't take it seriously!) On a serious note..... fuck it I just can't be serious when Trump comes up . The guy is a walking-talking joke!

Fear of women actually comes from fear of sexuality/your sexual energy. Fear of coming across as creepy is similar, i.e. it's basically a fear of your sexual energy getting out of hand. I'm learning to channel my sexual energy and it's really helping me keep my cool around women! (Especially women I'm attracted to but I don't want to sleep with) It can also ease the whole dating thing.

Can I tell you something? The quest for Truth, or what you call spirituality is also ego! Everything you do as a human being is ego. You're always chasing something that you want. You'll see this when you start asking questions like 'Who is it that wants to awaken? Is that me? Why do I want awakening when I know it's gonna kill me?' When I look at this, this seems more like you getting confused by spirituality. Awakening is something that happens spontaneously with no cause. It really happens when some part of you has what it wants, and is still suffering. Basically, you discover that getting what you wanted didn't make you happy. Then, you surrender to your suffering and your inevitable death. But, instead of dying, you become enlightened! As a human being, you still have an ego with egoic desires. Denying your desires will not help any of your spiritual pursuits. Getting what you want is part of the grand scheme of awakening. Say you want a million dollars. You'll only know whether or not getting it will make you happy once you get it! That's when spirituality really begins. If you feel like having a family will be a hindrance to your spiritual pursuits, then either you're using spirituality to deny that you want a family, or you don't want a family. If the latter is true, then I'd re-evaluate the compatibility of your relationship and decide accordingly.

How many of yall like Trump in the sense of 'He's so bad he's actually good' kinda way? I find him funny as hell. I just can't bring myself to have any serious conversation about what he says or does!

When he'd won the last time, I'd had a few scary sleepless nights out of panic. I remember the expressions of shock on the faces of Obama and Hillary. I myself was preparing to come to the United States for grad school in Fall 2017. My friends who were also preparing, were just really scared of the consequences of this on America's immigration policy getting worse! They were seriously negatively judging American people for having elected Trump. I kid you not, they had a fear of increased racism in America cuz a racist got elected. Now that they are in America and they're living peacefully there they're seeing what's what and their fears and judgements have gone away for the most part. But I have a lot of friends with Green cards who have been scared to leave America, just in case Trump imposes a travel ban!

But LEEEEOOOOO (I had to use that phrase lol), everyone said he'd be easy to beat in 2016! Now that doesn't imply anything about 2020, but we need to bear that in mind and proceed with caution. There's serious Republicans who say stuff along the lines of 'Do I like Trump? No, I think he's stupid. Do I have a problem with him being in office? Not really, cuz I don't want someone from the other side. 'The Left' is evil and they want to destroy our God-given Western Civilization!' (Or so the evangelicals like to say lol) I know, I'm just never able to take anything Trump says/does seriously. But there's a surprisingly large number of people who think along the above described lines. Their only source of political education is Fox News and they admire Trump just cuz he's a 'billionaire who has a hot wife and daughter'. People's reasons to vote for President are weirder than we can imagine! That being said, he has tried to pull some crazy stuff like declare war on Iran needlessly. My hope is that people wake up to his reality and the Dems capitalize on this.

This sounds very Christian-esque cuz they're talking about 'Judgement days' and stuff like that.

The book says something along the lines that 'The masculine is unchanging presence with the ever-changing flow of the feminine. Therefore, the masculine seeks a state of completion, whereas the feminine seeks to express more energetically/chaotically/meaninglessly when in a state of peace'. It kinda rubbed me the wrong way. What it felt like was that he says that the feminine creates/stands for chaos and anarchy, and expects the masculine to be present with it and somehow restore peace, or something....? I always have issues when people have standards of what the Divine Masculine should/shouldn't do! What do you think he means here? What am I missing?

Deida says the opposite though! He says that the Masculine in the Absolute sense is Consciousness which is stoically present with the Feminine, which is all form. It's the Feminine which is coming at the Masculine in ever-changing ways!! I didn't quite get this, cuz from what I know, masculine energy is forward-moving energy and femininity is receptive as you're saying. What do you think he means when he says this?

There's another book on masculinity that I really like! It's 'King, Warrior, Magician, Lover' by Douglas Gillette. Yeah! This happens even when someone describes femininity. My internal feminine aspects don't necessarily go emotionally crazy! In fact, if that reflected in a relationship, that would scare me. I'm in the process of releasing resistance to it though.

It's more energetic for me. It's a forward-moving, containing energy that's all about progress. Teachers of Divine Masculinity always seem to portray the feminine as not really caring about the masculine, and that the masculine shouldn't really need the feminine to be on his side, and that he should always be independent and never be weak, etc.

It feels like someone forcing an external standard.

One of my problems with the education system is that most of your schoolwork is done by yourself, for your own grades. There's very little collaboration between students. This came up for me as I was doing some shadow work and I came across the belief 'I have to work alone to make my dreams come true'. Our education system foments this belief pretty firmly! Ideas on solutions to this problem in the system?

There's a lot of spiritual folks talking about various 'system collapses' that'll happen in the next few years. There's vague talk along the lines of WW3 potentially happening, economy crashes, etc. There's also vague talk about our beloved Donald Trump being at the center of the collapse! Can someone who's really tapped into the collective consciousness elaborate more on what you think will happen, why and what this really means? I've heard people are actually preparing for a system collapse by going off-grid, or something drastic along those lines!

@Leo Gura I'm not sure which one tbh. Some say democracy, some say economic systems. Some say there's a (cold or hot) civil war brewing in America between the left and the right. Some say America is headed towards being a dictatorship, because of corporate lobbying and disconnection between government and people. Some say there's gonna be a civil war between the 1% and the common people. These people, by my judgement, are SD Stage Green and above. Vibrationally it feels pretty tense. The unsustainability of unconscious systems can be felt. Conscious people say that in order for people to desire connection (and muster the courage to go on the Hero's journey), they're gonna have to experience more and more separation first! Their comfort zones will feel worse and worse. This will be seen individually, collectively, systemically, etc. I'm trying to figure out what to make of this, i.e. what they mean when they say this. I'm kinda considering it seriously as some of the really conscious people did predict Trump's presidency before the election! I don't take talk about 'the end of mankind' too seriously as most people talking about it are conspiracy theorists, i.e. not very conscious people. I've only heard vague (but serious) talk and I myself am looking for more elaboration on this!

I'm talking about a system collapse, not the end of mankind! It could be useful to know what will collapse, so we know what we want to rebuild in it's place. We can rebuild something a lot more conscious than what we currently have!

The most general and prevalent one! Mine was the Indian education system, but it's similar in America/Canada as far as I can tell. Aren't all of them similar? (Of course you can come up with an exception, but you know what I'm talking about)

There's aspects of you that hold on to certain beliefs (especially the limiting ones) for dear life cuz they're identified with the beliefs! Your beliefs define you. In the mind of certain aspects of you, letting go of those beliefs equates to death! Yupp! The core beliefs reinforce the surface level ones. Internal questioning, self-enquiry, Parts-work, shadow work, etc. are all practices designed to uproot beliefs and change them. It's the ability to hold/consider 2 opposing beliefs in your mind without picking a side, i.e. identifying with either one. That creates cognitive dissonance. Being present with cognitive dissonance and holding opposing beliefs as 2 sides of the same coin is a develop-able ability!

This is why I'm so allergic to Indian 'gurus' in general! 'Guru' is a Hindu term that means 'teacher/master'. Their teachings are mostly based on Hinduism. Therefore, by extension, their teachings will have a lot of Hindu biases and dogmatism! I generally prefer not to listen to Hindu sages/yogis/mystics because I want to avoid separating the wheat from the chaff, which is a tiring task in any religious teaching! I prefer New-agers/philosophers like Leo.

Correct me if I'm wrong : Is Stage Green too triggered to accept that people have their judgements and biases? Why is that such a big deal? It's not a rhetorical question, I genuinely want to know your reasons for it being a big deal to you.

I see mainstream society make a moral case against victim-mentality. Typical attitudes include 'pathetic, weakling, irresponsible, whiny little bitch-babies, dangerous'. Why is that? What collective shadows is society running away from by having these attitudes towards it?

@purerogue Just for clarification : Are you serious or trolling?

@Matt8800 I'm just saying we need this. What's unrealistic/impractical today will become realistic/practical tomorrow!
