Most are assassinated. Politics is a dirty business. Note: this doesn’t mean we should turn into de-politicized cogs in the machine. Learn about the corruption, accept it then find proper channels to influence public policy. That of course assumes you’re part of some kind of functional democracy. Which is at a present day risk of collapsing due to authoritarian (anti-institutional) populism.

Being an outsider is metaphysically impossible, as there’s nothing outside of You . But practically speaking, having friends is important- especially young in life. Dont be afraid to put yourself out there and meet new people

That’s not how it’s supposed to work in practice. You understand that these material experiences you listed out do not comprise the highest form of happiness or fulfillment by themselves. Yet they are part of your conscious experience as a human. Getting in touch with your Absolute nature allows you to see and experience these things from a higher vantage point. And just because you’ve had Awakenings does not necessitate the denial of your desire to experience these finite forms of Love. After all- Having sex with someone you consider a 10, or eating some good food- does something for you that sitting in a cave contemplating God cannot do (and vice versa). We can learn to appreciate both as part of conscious experience.

Development of independent thought and critical thinking is inversely related to fitting in into group conformity within human social relationships. There are trade offs, pros/cons between the two. Being an independent thinker is no easy feat, and comes with its own inherent risks, especially in the social domain. Independent thought should not be seen or adopted as an absolute good. One should weigh their value system and what is important to them before going down the path.

Bullshitters are good at talking. But not all people who are good at talking are bullshitters

Ask an alpha .. but that assumes you have a correct definition of it. Explore and embrace your masculine side, it’s more important than ever - especially nowadays

Would you ever consider breaching TikTok with Actualized insights? There’s so much slop there- it could use an upgrade

Yes .. and that we can achieve it too

For most normies, making cult accusations is often easier than doing the actual practices. Ego loves the path of least resistance.

Ralston is conscious there is no self. But is he conscious that he is God? That is the question that none of us will ever know. You can only know it for yourself, which is how it should be. P.S. His books are awesome nonetheless

bc they have made a distinction between the two

@Husseinisdoingfine Modern China isn’t even remotely close to the kind of Soviet style Communism under Stalin. The reason I say Stalin is the greatest Communist is because he was quite serious about the destruction of private markets. This is not the position of modern day China-we can’t truly call it a Communist state. Don't confuse me saying Stalin was the greatest Communist with me saying that he did anything remotely positive for the people of the country or world at large. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of his own citizens through war, famine, enslavement of rural peasants, labor camps and murder of many civilians, military commanders and political opponents through his private police state. But nonetheless he was a serious Communist- that should tell us a lot about the ideology and how it turns out in practice. We see what’s happening in North Korea today, China & Russia were smart enough not to adopt the same strategy, at least not in its totality. Even then they are still backwards in many ways

Stalin was the greatest Communist that ever lived.

Hmm… You’d actually have to have a direct experience as a self aware cat to validate these claims. Not saying you can’t, but until you do, it’s hard to say cats are self aware.

This is like the elderly person who gets unwittingly scammed by telemarketers. Note: Claude isn’t conscious, Claude IS Consciousness. This goes over the heads of the typical scientist

What Ralston gets right: Our understanding of ANYTHING is often largely conceptual, not grounded in direct experience or consciousness of the truth and/or reality of a thing. Not making a clear distinction between conceptual knowledge and direct experience is the foundation of all self deception. What Ralston gets wrong: Not acknowledging that subjective states of Consciousness matter. Misses the necessity of exploring altered states of Consciousness to deepen one’s understanding of Reality (this creates his bias against psychedelics). Not an emphasis of cognitive stages of development and why they matter. This is where Leo’s work comes in to fill that gap. Ralston is an amazing teacher, but he gives the vibe of a stubborn old man, because…well..he is one lol. As with any spiritual teacher, they have biases. It’s the responsibility of the student to make a teachers biases clear.
