  1. try when therapy doesn’t work by Shelly Young
  2. His study was specifically on enlightenment. Just asking people working in the field would be a biased sample. If anything random civilians who report it would be more accurate as they don’t know the right words to say to appear more advanced then they are. Another example, Jeffery mentioned how one of his researches met 90 year old Buddhist nuns, and they told him when they first became nuns as teenagers when someone came to the ashram they’d almost always attain stream entry in a week to a month. But now people come and could stay for years and most don’t. The practices they taught stayed the same, and the genes of the population there didn’t change during just their life time. He postulates it’s because the techniques lost effectiveness as the human mind changed due to modern media exposure, but that’s clearly not genetic. And like I said having experiences as a kid doesn’t automatically mean it’s genetic. Maybe some sort of fluke accident they have as a kid primes them to develop it later in life. Daniel Ingram cites a early mystical experience he had as a kid while trying to alter his dreams as later leading him to Buddhist meditation.
  3. A stage green culture and society would only form if enough people reached a psychological development to that stage. Stage yellow and turquoise societies don’t exist today but there are a small minority of people at that stage. Marx exemplifies green in his philosophy being anti-hierarchal and demonizing wealthy and powerful. He even questioned the patriarchal structure of the family from that period. He bashed the stage blue and orange systems of his time such as Christianity and Adam Smith, but also didn’t understand the higher teachings of someone like Hegel and said he was bringing him to earth. Obviously due to the context of the society he was brought up in he would have views in line with lower stages today.
  4. That’s because of cultures being passed down. That doesn’t mean it’s genetic. If someone is born in an atheist materialist family they could become enlightened and never tell anyone. If someone was born in a Buddhist practicing family they’d tell everyone and be a teacher and probably be exposed to meditation making it more likely to happen irregardless of genetics. That’s not proof it is genetic. Just because something happens randomly without effort doesn’t automatically mean it is genetic. Dr. Jeffery Martin conducted a study of people who had enlightenment experiences and couldn’t find any genetic correlation. I don’t think he even found a correlation with childhood mystical experiences. Some had that, some had nothing of the sort. For example he reported one guy who was an atheist salesman with no mystical experiences at all who read a spiritual text looking for something to market without believing anything in it who then went to sleep and woke up in a very deep stage of enlightenment. It probably has to do with a glitch of some sort that dissolves part or all of the ego.
  5. If that was true we would see it happen in their relatives at similar rates but we don’t. There isn’t any evidence it’s related to genetics.
  6. That makes no sense, his entire philosophy was tearing apart stage blue and stage orange systems and philosophies and his prescribed replacement was a stage green fantasy. The stages clearly are more relevant to the structure of the persons psychology with the actual beliefs just being correlations
  7. Not really. There is plenty of record of people entering deep states or even becoming enlightened instantly with no prior practice. Theoretically we could figure out what is going on there and induce it in people.
  8. As of now, but I think that can change as Daniel and others have begun seriously studying meditation scientifically
  9. I don’t think Daniel Ingram has truly attained the Buddhist paths as they have been originally described. What he describes seems like a similar but partial version of what is written in the Pali canon and other original texts. I understand he argues those accounts are exaggerated but I’ve heard other examples that sound more similar to them and it’s plausible that the state of the human mind at the time those were written responded to those meditation techniques differently. What I know about the method he used and how it was developed also leads me to believe something like that is possible.

  11. They’re a reason why the war was renewed. But they’re just protesting for the hostages, they are fine with Palestinians being killed.

  15. I wish Bernie was 10 years younger. He absolutely could be the next President if he was.
  16. That’s because in his game era he wanted to focus on foundational principles that make game occur naturally He still has a good video up on why he did this
  17. From what I saw LFA just seemed like another mgtow / redpill coach who just speculates in front of a camera. Maybe he matured since then but I remember he had one video ranting about women that was entirely based on one woman giving him a mean look. Owens game advice is based in experience and far more nuanced. I don’t think even Leo appreciates the depth of his insights in this area when I compare his program to Leo’s htgl series.
