Key words the most. (credit for nuance) It helps me to look at spirituality and survival separate ingredients in a soup mix, we get to choose the amount of each, and it is contingent on our particular taste/preferences/goals (these change with time). We can have both at varying degrees, but it's difficult to strike the right balance. Monks who want the most out of spirituality live in caves simply because they want the most out of spirituality. Doesn't mean we should want what monks want, or if that's even right for us.

You are creating this distinction in your mind.

Nice

After watching Leo's latest video on Post Modernism and the latest blog content, I came up with some notes to track my insights on what the philosophy gets right and what it gets wrong - it's good for me to share to keep it fresh (feel free to provide feedback.. What Post modernism gets right: Most human claims to truth (if not all) is highly subjective and relative; these claims are a bi-product of social constructs that are primarily meant serve the unique, relativistic survival needs of individuals and/or group of individual (collectives). This can manifest in various institutions (government, media, entertainment, academia, business, religion, spirituality, etc), ideology/schools of thought and culture at large (ie elements of the social matrix). Values & morals are subjective and often change throughout time, what is considered true and certain in one sense can take on an entirely different meaning per historical context, new discoveries. Science and language are not reliable means to reach universal truths, which makes them limited tools that are self serving inherently (this is one of my biggest takeaways). Post-modernism is prioritizes being Construct Aware, which is highly advanced level of Ego development if one takes into account the 9 stages model. What Post modernism gets wrong: Though the vast majority of human claims to universal truth are false, there does exists and Absolute Truth that is Universal. It cannot be accessed by conventional methods such as science and language, but through a mystical experience. Post modernism as a school of thought (and that essentially what it is relative to Absolute Truth) falls victim to the same limitations of language that is apparent in the other school of thoughts that it seeks to deconstruct. Subscribing to the post modernist worldview, and creating an identity out of it-means that the philosopher has had great insight into the socially constructed nature of elements of the Modern and Pre Modern worldview, but has not taken it all the way by acknowledging the Post Modern philosophy itself as being socially constructed. Absolute Truth is what remains after the Post Modernism philosophy is successfully deconstructed and integrated; ultimately going beyond concepts and language into a direct Consciousness of God (or Infinity!).

Lmaoo

Definitely appreciated

Excellent quote to maybe include in intro @Leo Gura ”A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative’, is asking you not to believe him. So don’t.” - English philosopher Roger Scruton

Thanks for your heartfelt post. What I learned from Leo is that all of reality is Gods imagination, even the ugly parts like torture. What’s even more profound is I am God, doing the imagining (for no reason other than the experience itself). It’s tough to stomach for any human mind, so I respect your honesty and vulnerability. Wish you all the best.

1. Why is post modernism appealing as an epistemic system, paradigm & worldview? Who is mostly attracted to it? 2. Where does the post modernism fit in various models of cognitive development (Susan Cooke grueter- ego development, spiral dynamics? 3. What are criticisms of post modernism from below (modernist) and above (post post modernism and/or Absolute Truth). How do these criticisms differ? 4. How can your followers use post modernism and relativity to uncover deep answers to the existential questions about life & reality without falling into traps or turning in into an ideology? 5. How did Leo personally integrate post modernism with his profound Awakenings to God Realization & Infinity? I look forward to the next vid @Leo Gura

Let’s keep in mind that RFK Jr doesn’t speak for all independent/swing voters. For the majority who planned on voting for RFK will certainly vote Trump following this endorsement, which could leave quite an impact in swing states (Michigan, Wisconsin & Pennsylvania). However, there are still a vast number of undecided voters who will likely make their decision the day of the election (could skew Harris or Trump). I believe this number is greater than that of the designated group of RFK defectors. At the end of the day it’s a toss up, no one can accurately predict voter turnout or the gut decisions of undecided voters. We only find out when we get the election results.

False solipsism: there is only one dream. True solipsism: there is only One dreamer. Both can be realized through deconstructing materialism in one’s direct experience, but there are real traps in not going all the way.

Nihilism that comes with becoming more Conscious .. yes, but it’s important to look at it as phase so you don’t become depressed and hopeless. Burdensome might be the wrong word, you just desire something that is higher and transcends human interaction. You will find that eventually, and be able to integrate it in your interactions with the human .. ultimately making those relationships more deep, authentic & fulfilling.

Examples? Some of us could make use of studying the media landscape of other cultures to make fine distinctions between them & the US.

Brainless/conformist spirituality = Spirituality that doesn’t lead us to discovering that we are GOD dreaming up the brainless/conformist spirituality we are engaged in … wow!

Seems like one of Green’s crocodiles is a form of blind moralization of certain ideals of lower stages, specifically on the political front. I’m interpreting your stance is advocating for the intellectual position that we not so much define a public figure (or anyone for that matter) based on their political ideology wholesale, we should also take in their net contribution to society in other areas (being technological innovation, success/work ethic of Musk). I would agree with this .. but it’s hard for many Greens in this polarized climate. I’m learning that nuance helps us avoid many crocodiles.

Powerful quote by Nate Green-“what if you rested in between two contradicting energies? What if you practiced holding contradicting views at the same time with no fantasy of them ever being resolved?” has me contemplating the continuous struggle in balancing Truth & survival. My recent batch of awakenings have caused more epistemic friction than ever, deconstructing reality is not a joke. To be God in human form is to constantly look over one’s shoulder for self deception, to see the inherent falsehoods of survival mechanisms in yourself and humanity as a collective. Yet surviving is all I know, there’s a yearning to want to fall asleep again, Truth is freeing but can torment one’s mind at the same time. Maybe this is the long road of integration-life gets bigger with God in it, but a dream is still a dream, and the rules of human survival don’t stop with profound increases in Consciousness.

But does Awakening necessitate giving up pursuits of passions, hobbies & meaning? What about Actualized.org and producing content for an imagined/separate audience? You don’t deny you’re imagining, but you still play the game.

How do you deal with this emotionally? I’d imagine it can be tough at times.

hmm .. seems one can awaken within limited consciousness of a human. But that can be expanded to something non human .. which wouldn’t make it human anymore? I would assume that expansion wouldn’t necessarily include an awakening/God Realization .. but it could with enough contemplation, deconstruction work. Any update on your Awakening courses?

He was. It’s hard to empathize with the cop but I commend you for even attempting. Justice will prevail, in the end Sonya didn’t deserve that & we have to do better as a collective.

That you are! Thank you God .. isn’t it wonderful to be talking to yourself all the time … insane.

@Leo Gura is it fair to say even that Actualized.org teachings can only be realized at the highest level for those with proper genetics? Seems that would limit the amount of people that could get the most value out of your advanced insights.

True. Guess it’s not a matter of associating with the zoo or not, but to what degree. Nuance!

How do you reconcile this with having to play by society's rules? It’s hard to completely transcend survival (as you’ve stated before). Yes, you’re not loyal to humanity-but do you acknowledge how it serves you in various ways? After all, humanity is part of your Dream- so it serves some purpose, even if it doesn’t value Truth.
