  1. I would really be hesitant to call this stage green. I personally know people who I believe are stage green, they are sweethearts, just being in their presence is giving you spiritual energy. Political Left is the opposite of that.

    Taking Post-modernistic beliefs to extreme and being dogmatic about them sounds more like blue, yet a modern version of it. Blue Reborn, with a Green cloak.

    I myself have an understanding and empathy for those causes, being a minority and an immigrant, but I don't push it into peoples faces.

    Being patient with abuse is not the way to cure the abuser. There's a sickness called codependency which is busy doing exactly that.

    How is nonduality a paradigm? 

    It can be, if misunderstood. In essence it's like antimatter to paradigms, it cancels all other perpectives and you remain in the void of an unexplained appearance.

    Nonetheless it is still kinda boring to use it to cancel all possible questions. "It's all just thought..." etc

    Non-dulity is the truth, but we can't live in that state, we have to materialize to have a sense of meaning and purpose, and in that interplay of illusions there are still interesting questions to ponder.

    Thank you for the great discussion dudes! Good to be here

    Yes, you may use the non-dual paradigm to solve all questions, but some questions are still worth asking.
    The question of being authentic is of the psychological domain, and I guess you may say that awakening is the ultimate authenticity.

    That is a thought of you

    Or so it appears from a subjective point of view. There are just appearances, so how can we even tell?  Are we back again to imagining that our subjective experience is the objective truth?


  4. I mean you really can't question it. Any argument will be reduced to:
    "just a thought" or "everything is imagination" or "you are a materialist"
    or "you are thinking too much and over analyzing" or "who's asking?".

    Of course we are separating here the actual practice of non-duality
    from it's ideas.


    Please, don't get me wrong here, I'm a seeker myself, and a very diligent one.
    I've been on this path for more than 6 years, and my skepticism
    comes from a loving place. Speaking of Open-Mindedness this
    value got me very very far, and I believe that a healthy skepticism
    plays an important role in keeping an open mind. Why?
    Because in order to open your mind to new possibilities you
    must have the ability to question your current paradigm.
