They're happy to own that it was given to the states to decide, many are downplaying the attack on abortion rights nationally though. "SCOTUS did not throw out precedent. If precedent over rides everything, then Dredd Scott would be overturned and we’d go back to legalizing slavery. In fact they went out of their way in every single case leading up to Dodd to preserve Roe. Read if for yourself. Allito states plainly some people are pro-life to an extreme, even tubal pregnancies are Gods will in their view (not a majority opinion anywhere). The anti-lifers would have children be killed up to say age 18. The majority fall somewhere in between. SCOTUS simply acknowledged that abortion has nothing to do with privacy and TX and MS forced that issue into the forefront. So SCOTUS recognized that if Roe stands then it’s a logic fallacy and the abortion right disappears entirely. So if Roe falls, abortion is a 9th and 10th amendment right…the States decide. That was the correct decision. So in a lot of ways what they did is SAVE abortion rights because now states can rule based on the merits and not some crazy judicial garbage that is being torn apart in the first place because Texas in particular invalidated Casey and left Roe meaningless with the heartbeat law. Thomas (not the majority opinion) went further and stated that everything else following the 14th amendment right to privacy doctrine including a right to **** and contraceptives becomes open to challenge. What is utterly moronic here is that in virtually every single decision in the last 50 years when it comes tk the 4th amendment right against searches and seizures the courts have let government and corporations walk all over everyone. The contrived right to privacy was only used to justify abortion, contraceptives, and ****. Illegal searches are fine as long as the evidence isn’t used in court. The IRS, FBI, and NSA can do anything without court orders. And email and internet privacy is a total farce. All legal and your right to privacy be damned. But abortion and **** and condoms are a critical right to privacy. So it’s more like SCOTUS coming to their senses. For way too long they have been the lap dogs of the bureaucrats."

As a woman do you have any interest in multiple partners?
-
I think most guys don't want just one single woman, but I think they also want something long term so long as the woman is not a nuisance, and our culture throws that into a loop
-
Yeah I assume most of the women are quite low conscious but I have met one woman that wasn't and was game for sex right away. I'm wondering how often these types of women pop up. I've never been into pick up but I assume some of the guys only look for these types of women.

How do you think it might get worse? They ban gay marriage in some states, push for the bible in schools. I don't see it being worse than that, their shenanigans will catch up to them with this religious esque crap, there's a lot of people in this country that are not completely mindless. To your point about ending slavery, that's my point as well; look at what the people were willing to sacrifice to end slavery(for OTHER people), I don't think we'll likely move back into it with less effort, and minorities will be able to fight for themselves this time.

Gerrymandering could never be a sustainable problem, society is self balancing. Just look at what's going on right now, the side with the advantage grossly oversteps, this moves enough people away from them. If we can go from a slavery nation where that's a massive part of our economy, gerrymandering isn't a silver bullet. Gerrymandering is playing with margins, if there's a super majority base, they will be in power despite any amount of gerrymandering What is the end of America anyway? Is it actually a big deal? It's never been the harbinger of hope or freedom like it claims, most Americans are enslaved by the culture now

Here's what makes me not afraid of them Let them fester in their states, and let the liberal states shine, letting them see the day and night difference will affect actual change, not forcing them to come down the road of progress against their will.
-
I don't see any worrisome effort on a national level though just states and in those states LGBT are already suppressed by the culture, and their twisted view of Christianity is the states religion
-
To me the end of the white male reign has never come, even with a black president. The culture below the surface doesn't appear to have changed to me.
-
The ones I speak with actually arent celebrating it, not surprising the hooked on fear negative nincompoops are scared that this happened, they're focusing on this potentially hurting republicans in the midterms.

Freud made it up so his definition, I didn't know there were people trying to change his term? Definition: Ego. EGO: For Freud, the ego is "the representative of the outer world to the id" ("Ego and the Id" 708). In other words, the ego represents and enforces the reality-principle whereas the id is concerned only with the pleasure-principle. https://cla.purdue.edu › definitions Definition: Ego I don't see why we would need to eat or speak if it wasn't for the outer world We can go 40 days without eating, but I think without the ego we might forget and go past that once The outer world has a tiny fraction of the pleasure available to us, would seem like we would only spend a tiny fraction here then. -
It prevails eventually, not constantly
-
What do you see that looks like fascism that hasn't been a part of the states since their beginning? We've had civil rights laws, but anyone not a white male has been marginalized and oppressed constantly since the start, not by law, but by culture.

?. But why would you eat or talk if it wasn't for ego? -
They are already (I don't think spinning is the right word) outright lying and saying it's the liberals fault this happened and that the court has now given the people a vote/voice in the matter. They're using " the liberals are the ones that brought this new case to the court to be heard"

not fearing -
Yeah, but the "remember" or "never forget" part just goes over my head, it just sounds like a call for revenge, I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something, is it a decent sentiment?
-
Aren't you doing exactly what the terrorists wanted? By "remembering"? I try to even look at it from the Midwestern traditional viewpoint, what's their point? Remember to hate Muslims? Remember those that died? Why? Remember that our troops don't keep us safe? The firefighters and cops that went in was honorable, but there's been far greater acts than that that we don't celebrate. The people only took back one of the three planes. I don't see that day as a win. What's the rationale given?

You can obviously try to protect yourself/country, but there is always a way you are vulnerable, unless you're dead

Thanks, I like that I don't really think you even have to try to coach them, I'm not saying you shouldn't, but I won't. I don't even really think the level of conversation is critical, you can feel when someone cares about you, and that's what I think is important. -
Anyone interested in a concerted effort to raise consciousness via collectively targeting social media groups? I pop in some and talk to people, always pushing the conversations deeper, but thought if we targeted a group, not aggressively, but if we would join a group work it a while and then find a different one, that it may be more effective, sort of spreading the work out but working together.

I think they are distractions, I think the quickest way is feeling/listening to what they call your intuition -

I don't think anyone needs a teacher, I actually think following teachings slows down progression. -
Devin replied to Devin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I don't teach people anything, or preach, and I'm not asking people to do that -
Devin replied to Devin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Then I don't understand the reference. Let me give you a scenario I hope you consider; Think of all the conscious teachers you've ever known of Now think of never knowing about any of them Are you more or less likely to become conscious or less unconscious in one scenario over the other? and try to consider the scenario with the teachers without the formal teachings.
