A man who knows the social game in and out sorta scares me a bit! It's always the men with a fully integrated feminine side that present the most 'threat'. Not that threat is even the right word. Present with the most power, I should say.

Yep, the fixation on which sex is in power being some magical juju that will fix everything isn't it.

I agree. I think a solution isn't going to entail men or women in power - it's always about balance. Both. It's not like it is just men who are violent. Women are as well. A man in power with fully integrated feminine is what I want to see.

The logic of blaming anyone else for our own reaction/conduct doesn't stand. Equally you cannot hold a woman responsible for giving birth to xxx type of evil/bad/whathaveyou. Genetics from both sides loades the gun. Environment pulls the trigger. Women are forced into an awakening to unity through the birthing process. Many integrate it as Love in recognition - and many often reject it. There may not be the same intellectual breakdown of that truth as it is reached through feeling. Typically I see it heavier on the integration side over intellectual understanding. Both are needed though. I think, Leo, your points regarding raw power are valid. But consider this is a problem (needing to fight wars) born of the solution of men in power (who are used to using force to achieve). Raw power might not even be needed without the problem that created it. I'll add that there is a bit of naivety here. Women are absolutely ruthless social manipulators. If raw power is the man's game, the woman's is a subtle game of manipulation behind the scenes. And women had to learn to do this because they were stripped of sovereignty - it was the only way to survive. Social manipulation.

We ain't designed to walk on concrete/asphalt. Barefoot may be better but not in an urbanised environment.

@AtmanIsBrahman what do you consider the most truthful teaching? Your average person will only care about truth insofar as it can be utilised in some way.

🎯 I might add we are all corrupt on different levels, across different domains. Some are more aware of it. I would generalise and claim truth seekers might be less so. But I have been bloody surprised before!

Hmmmm. Pure truth could be recognised as unity. Infinity. We are all It. Recognising self in other - teaching truth could simply be the attempt at integration of truth itself. Self helping self. Self dissolving all that stands between subject/object. To raise anothers consciousness is to raise our own. But really, survival is a powerful force. It is very important to recognise awakening to truth does not exclude us from incentive structures - and genetics. This might help explain the corruption in spiritual teachers. And motivation.

Heh heh, all humans are terrified of the womb. They want to get back in so badly. Fixated on death as a method to escape thoughts of the womb. The original unity. Happy to talk about death forever with not a thought about coming into the awareness. Just think about it, most people view the womb with revulsion. Birth is treated as revolting. Blood. Body fluids. Shit. Piss. Placenta. Something to contemplate.

@Valach yep I had to go through a long healing process - I go into it a bit more in the link below. A bit of back and forth between me and @bazera if you want to hear some anecdotes 🙂 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/113167-why-has-dating-collapsed-the-real-reason-no-one-talks-about/?do=findComment&comment=1741602

@Valach I agree with your values changing once you heal. Although I am a woman, many of my male circle report attractiveness being less of a priority in a mate. Screening for a healthy, stable and mature mate overtakes prioritising physical attractiveness. Many even claim searching for an attractive mate was less about them and more about status broadcasting when they were younger. Maturity, intellect and stability become the attraction factor. Values change as we heal. Just my experience with a circle of 6/7 dudes who report the same transition. We are all between 39-45 years old.

@Valach very similar crossover with attachment theory, what you touch on above.

@Lila9 😍

Yep, this. I'm not talking about maternity leave or benefits like that. My idea was to treat motherhood as a legitimate occupation that would supply a commodity - people. Workers. Which will boost the economy and sustain capitalism. It won't come without its own set of issues. Necessity is a powerful push for compromise. I do not think a policy like that has ever been proposed in western countries. I don't know of any countries that have tried it.

If you are communicating with another human - there are emotions involved. It is just ignorance if you think this isn't happening. Emotions are transmitted, received and form part of the communication - as well as words and context.

@Carl-Richard was going to note that proposing kids help out with LOOKING AFTER THEMSELVES is a good habit to be instilling into them - but felt it was a bit obvious 😂😂😂

@WonderSeeker I've been present for birth (my brother's) and death (my grandfather's). These two moments are so intense. You are literally witnessing Truth express itself through living organisms; division, union, love & God all at once. There are no words.

@Basman has it been done?

KEEP EM COMING @Lila9 show us!

I think this is real - I came across this many years ago. It's probably the 3rd time I have seen the same case documented (not that this qualifies it as a true story!). I hate that in this day and age I cannot enjoy stories or clips. Need to check for AI and disinformation.

@Sincerity they into derp mode hard 😍

Sammmmme. I actually love the beauty of their movement, face, frame and musculature. Greyhounds, whippets and Italian Greyhounds are amazing companion animals. Can go hard as a motherfucker - but massive off switch.

Get ready for hair. All. Over. You. And your stuff. I had a border collie - minimum 3-4hr investment a day 🥹 Contributing (wants a belly rub):

Having children can be part of spiritual practice. If that is not realized, then some more contemplation is needed. Or, just having them 😁

He he he - yes I have used some prompts of a similar nature. AI's always prompt me to ask myself why I post on this forum, interestingly. For some reason they lacked the intuition to understand how I find growth from being provoked egoically. I use LLMs a lot. But I consider it to be like speaking to someone on this forum, or in real life; I simply cannot take what is said as truth. Merely provide an alternate view to consider. For work I occasionally use it to navigate emotionally charged meetings; I am quick to call people out when they are wrong. This totally irritates and fucks up engineers and architects because to them I am just the lowly builder. Coupled with me being a tiny woman who presents as gentle and accommodating, this really makes people feel 'betrayed'; I am betraying their expections. They expect me to defer to them and not question. The questioning of methods of construction and WHY things are done how they are is taken as an offense. They want me to revert to capitulation and adhere to expections. They do not consider I might have input that can reduce costs and time. AI frequently gives me strategies to approach different people's egoic reactions to 1) calm them down 2) refocus them to the goal and 3) temper my own words so I am not so brutal with facts. Unfortunately you cannot avoid egos anywhere. And due to me requiring all discussions involving decisions being on writing, I have the great advantage of using AI and having the time to craft a strategy. You would be amazed at how sensitive others are to ONE word or phrase being altered. The emotional game behind work gets more results than just performing actions and expecting results. Once I started using LLMs more for this it made my work easier and I started to hit every KPI 😄 I pretty much don't need them so much anymore for this. Now I tend to query mechanisms and alternate methods I can use materials in a system.
