@Preety_India I guess we can boil it all down to Borderline thinking and exaggeration. Thinking you are either nice or a jerk, and going from one extreme to other. This kind of radicality is just a result of a low level of development, and that's where most people are, so that's why we get all the stereotypes. (All women yada yada, All men yada yada.) My personal rule of thumb is not to judge the whole by the majority. To personally embody this means to understand that you always represent all your kind, and to act accordingly.

@Fede83 This issue goes much deeper and it has to do with codependency. One of its most common patterns of behaviour is pleasing others from a place of neediness. Someone who has that, sees his behaviour as "nice", and when he sees someone who doesn't do the same he calls him " a rude and arrogant jerk", but all that is a borderline judgement from a limited selfish perspective, which stems from low self esteem - this means that his perception is twisted by his illness. Also, it all depends on where the niceness is coming from, if it's not from manipulation, but an honest giving of kindness with no strings attached, then we are getting somewhere. A well rounded individual knows how to blend all these principles in a tactful manner, and so he may be both kind and attractive. You can also throw in stereotypical thinking, generalizing and level of development. It's obvious that people on different levels of development appreciate, and are attracted to different kinds of behaviours. For example, unhealthy stage red is attracted to displays of power.

@Nak Khid In our group meeting (12 Steps) we are advised to only speak in I. I can easily see why, because I can truly only know things for certain about myself, and all else is intrusive speculation.

@Leo Gura Is it true to say that if many have committed suicide, it was indeed god's plan? How can anything go against god's will? If he gave us free choice, why should any choice be wrong? If death is imaginary, is suicide also imaginary? Isn't it arrogant to assume that that we can affect the way of nature with our actions?

@arlin Sorry if I'm repeating, but this one is worth repeating: If happiness is indeed what you desire, you shouldn't make it a goal. It's a paradox, to be happy let go of the need for happiness. Cheers.

Hello again dear actualizers! It seems as if Masculine is attracted to it's eqally opposite Feminine and visa versa. Is it always the case? Do you know of examples from personal experience which show otherwise? Please share.

@Apparition of Jack Wordpress works amazingly for me. Easy templates that are special for blogs. Examples - 3 of my blogs: https://treeofwisdom.org/ https://mydependencyblog.wordpress.com/ https://antonsjournal.home.blog/

A non-symbolic state of mind.

@Leo Gura 1. How can you take an entheogen and say that the truth shown to you is absolute? Isn't the experience (or no-experience) relative to the entheogen and the temporary state? We say that if something is changing it can't be the absolute. 2. If I reach a state where the mind isn't perceiving objects (no-mind), is it correct then to assume that they aren't real? 3. Isn't non duality a confusion of the subjective for the objective, and a basic assumption that one can reach truth via subjective experience? (Of course in a non-dual state the duality of the subjective-objective collapses, but is that state dependent collapse reliable?)

Why do we point our finger at our brain when we say mind? Is that correct? Or just an old habit?

@Lento Nowhere at all.

@Inliytened1 If mind is indeed all there is, what do we mean when we say mind? How can anything infinite be distinguished at all?

It's more correct to say desire to not die. To desire or not is the same thing. Actually I'm increasingly desiring it because I've completely changed the way I'm looking at it. Of course there is fear, but isn't that a different creature?

Or "Why not?"

@Lento I'm specifically intrested in what we mean when we say it, and why we point at our head. Just saw Leo do that in his last video and started to wonder, how come after so much seeking and mystical experiences he's still perceiving it like that.

What else is there to do? To gain direct consciousness of that. It is possible.

There are so many perspectives to take on this, that I will get tired of listing them all. Where ISn't mind? Is there even a "mind"? Mind is god, god is mind, it's nowhere, and everywhere, and neither of those, at the same time, nothing is not mind, so there's no way of talking about it without creating an illusory duality. @fridjonk Who escapes and why?

Some cutting edge thinking in regards to Conscious Politics. It seems he's found a way to take Orange principles of free market and entrepreneurial thinking to help advance our society in healthier ways.

Cool new genre, called High Tech.

Animals are much less harmful to mama earth than we are, so in that sense we are thousands of years behind.

Because the majority of men lost touch with Positive Masculinity. In one word: Neediness. Sounds simple? But really difficult to change.

Sorry I was wrong for making that joke. I've been and still am being marginalized for my nationality, and have faced abuse and racism. I respectfully leave this discussion, and remove my views. I respect your views, and empathize as much as I can with your cause. I guess we're just people who were hurt and are trying to heal. I wish you well.

Could you please list them? To avoid in the future.
