I don’t like to disturb them with my nonsensical human life 😔

I think that it’s conformist to talk only to humans. If you go out on the street and talk to plants or animals, people will look at you weirdly. I’m not talking about casual stuff like “oh, how beautiful” or “how cute.” I’m talking about serious or deep conversations.

Yes, it may be faster than usual this time.

Patriarchy is about the domination of fathers, while matriarchy is not about domination at all. Matriarchy is about cooperation. This is more natural to humans and this is the reason we are so powerful. Because of our ability to cooperate. If you look at the diagram I shared above, patriarchy is more like a pyramid, while matriarchy is more like a sphere. The architecture of matriarchy is more friendly toward sustainable life and does not include the oppression of any group, unlike patriarchy. Children are the true foundation of society, and society is better built on them rather than on capital. I believe that we have come to the point where patriarchy has become so unsustainable for human life that it naturally collapses. This is why birth rates will continue to decline until society changes toward a more matriarchal structure. This will happen gradually. It may take hundreds of years. The balance between individualism and collectivism can exist in matriarchy. Like in patriarchy, there are more individualistic patriarchal societies and more collectivistic ones. While matriarchy is more inclined toward collectivism, it doesn’t have to be absolute collectivism (like purple).

Look where we are now: living in a world controlled by pedophilic, greedy, psychopathic, narcissistic, and misogynistic men who destroy the earth. This is patriarchy for you. This is not sustainable for human life or any animal we share space with. I don’t understand the positives of patriarchy you stated; can you please elaborate more on them? Masculinity can definitely exist in a matriarchal society and is part of it. The main distinction between masculinity in a patriarchal vs. matriarchal society is that masculinity in a patriarchal society is exploitative and dominating, while in a matriarchal society it is protective and nurturing, which is the healthy form of it. Ideally, masculinity should be channeled for the benefit of the community, not against it.

@Nivsch Thank you, Niv. You too, stay safe! I wish us better days ahead. We deserve it. -
In those areas, like the Middle East and Africa, women are forced to marry and have children. If not by physical force, then by social pressure. Singlehood is seen as a threat. It is also more difficult and dangerous to survive as a single woman in those areas. Iceland, despite having more equality, still has a patriarchal framework. There is not country in the world without a patriarchal framework. In the West, women have the choice and they choose not to, especially since men are more likely to believe in oppressing gender roles, while women are more likely to reject them and believe in gender equality. This is why conservatives in countries like America would like to take reproductive rights away from women and do not support welfare for single mothers with children. They want to force women back into oppressive gender roles, where they are reliant on men for survival and expected to have children. Many people don't understand that patriarchy is built like a pyramid scheme. Those on top are dependent on the unpaid labor of those at the bottom. The motherhood and care labor women do is the most important labor there is, without this labor, society would crumble. However, this is the most underpaid labor. If the patriarchal system were to start paying women what they deserve for their care labor, the patriarchy would crumble, and the economy as we know it would no longer exist, which is exactly why motherhood and women's labor are underpaid. This is not a bug, this is a feature. This is patriarchy trying to preserve itself. Women and mothers can only be properly supported and appreciated in a non-patriarchal society, which is built more like a sphere than a pyramid. Everyone gets enough for their survival. There is no need to hoard at the expense of anyone. This, of course, can't be achieved in a red-blue-orange society. It can only happen in green and above. Now, we are at a crossroads. Patriarchy is crumbling and killing itself because it was never a sustainable structure to begin with. And so, all the ideas related to patriarchy like capitalism, dominance, control, and materialism can't sustain a healthy society for humans. This is why the birth rate will continue to declain until radical change happens, such as gradually moving towards a more matriarchal structure. You may refer to the work of this woman on matriarchy. This is very likely the future of humanity if we are to survive these dark ages.

Short answer: patriarchy. Longer answer: society punishes motherhood, underestimates it, and underappreciates it. There is no incentive to be a mother, only cons. It takes a village to raise a child. But now one woman is expected to do it alone, in addition to working in a regular job.

Thank you for sharing. What a tiny world. I wish safety for your family and hope that the war isn’t troubling them too much. -

Hi Niv, good to see you too. I go to a shelter (a shared shelter for building residents), similar to yours. I feel mixed feelings (stress, numbness, anger, peace) for various reasons. I live in the north, so we got missiles and drones from both Iran and Hezbollah. While the repulsion of the ballistic missiles can sometimes shake the windows and walls, for some reason the protection feels more hermetic than in the center, maybe because it’s more crowded there. -

Be transparent. You are dating, she may have more serious intentions. Let her make an informed decision before she sleeps with you. Don’t try to control or manipulate the situation to get your favored outcome. This strips her of her right to make an informed decision. Otherwise, she may get hurt/traumatized. Sex is a very risky, intimate, and vulnerable thing, do it consciously. There is nothing masculine about sleeping with women by deluding them into thinking that you are serious when you are not. This is low-conscious behavior. For your information, we are humans, not objects or toys.

I respect whistleblowers. It appears that most of the famous spiritual gurus are famous because they are complicit with the system. I have noticed that they usually gaslight their audience into believing that all their issues stem from a personal failure that they can fix if they only follow their teachings, and that any critic of the system is seen as unwilling to take responsibility for their own life. This is actually what the system that raised those gurus to the top wants us to believe. Many, if not most, human issues are due to systemic failures like poverty, inequality, politics, corruption, patriarchy, capitalism, greed, etc., which those spiritual gurus fail to address deliberately. -

Ok. Do you have their contact details? I do want to learn how to communicate with the dead. But in order to communicate with Epstein, I would need to go through an extended course of communication with dead PDF files. Any resources? -
Yes, I skip the stuff that I don’t understand or feel comfortable with. There is also a urine therapy technique, which I find weird. There is a yogi in my country who has been using urine therapy for 20+ years (by drinking it and applying it to her skin like a lotion). People mock and criticize her. She looks healthy and good, though.

I’m safe, thank you. This is much appreciated. Luckily, I have a protective space to go to. I also do yoga and breathwork to calm my nervous system down. -
@bazera Same. I discovered this book accidentally, didn’t actually expect much, and now my neti pot and I are BFFs.

Sure. https://www.amazon.sg/Yoga-Kriya-Systematic-Ancient-Techniques/dp/8185787085

That’s really kind of you. I wish I had the patience to be so kind. Due to so much trauma from men, I don’t have the emotional energy to explain myself to a stranger. I just say that I’m a lesbian to brush them off. Funnily enough, they believe me. This is not very honest, but it’s amusing. Sometimes I say that I’m married, but it doesn’t always work. They judge me for being too prudish and for not cheating on my fictional husband with them lol.

I agree. Sitting on a chair is not natural and can even be harmful in the long run. If someone can’t sit cross-legged or in natural positions, this is a sign that they need to work more on their flexibility and practice more asanas. This can also protect the body from injuries, especially as we get older. I don’t know if it is mentioned in the Kriya Yoga book Leo has on his reading list. I have another Kriya book which is more comprehensive in my opinion, and it emphasizes the importance of doing yoga asanas prior to meditation because it prepares the mind and body by making it easier to enter a meditative state, unlike directly entering a meditative state without any asanas. Doing so is like running without warm-ups. This only shows how the mind and body are connected and how ignoring this connection negatively affects the meditation practice.

On the other hand, I am also annoyed by both Trump’s and Bibi’s governments for exploiting wars cynically as a way to distract people from the flaws of their governments. So annoying. -

I hope that it will be worth it and that Iranians will succeed in returning to the pre-authoritarian regime. I hate wars, but I like how everyone in Israel is more connected now, and it allows people the opportunity to take a pause from fast-paced life, forget all the nonsense, and have one shared goal: survival. -
A man who has the goal of sleeping with as many women as possible has a low-conscious and ignorant approach, in my opinion, and I will soon explain why. First of all, men with this view are very irresponsible and don’t consider the risks they put women into. Most of the time, they spread sexually transmitted diseases because they don’t do checkups. Additionally, they don’t consider contraceptives, and all the burden falls on women. Secondly, it ignores the power dynamics and the differences between men and women. It is not a secret that most men (and women) learn about sex from porn, in which women are objectified, and this view makes hookups very mechanical and lifeless (non-erotic). Women participate in this, mostly young and inexperienced women usually as a way to discover their sexuality. Some women, mainly in the West, feel pressure to participate in hookup culture in order to feel empowered because this is what women were told empowerment is to be like a man, to work like a man, to sleep like a man which is just liberal nonsense that is still rooted in misogyny. What is wrong with doing things like a woman? Secondly, it is an anti-feminist view, even if it is disguised as feminism, because it doesn’t question patriarchy, which is a system that favors men and masculinity; it only tries to cope with it, which is not beneficial to women. Regardless of the reason, in an ideal society they could be doing that in a safe way if men were safer and didn’t view sex as a tool to dominate, humiliate, and control women. But in reality, unfortunately, sex involves more risk for women. Women are more vulnerable in hookups, and they gain nothing from it. Men at least gain some orgasm, higher self-esteem (because manhood in our society is tied to how many women you sleep with), and acceptance from other men. Women in most cases gain nothing only risks and they are less likely to orgasm from a one-night stand with a man who likely doesn’t care about her or her pleasure, but only his. Why is sleeping with as many women as possible a low-conscious goal? Because it doesn’t benefit women, puts them at unnecessary risk, and given the power dynamics in our society, is exploitative and predatory. Additionally, many men use sex as a tool for validation and approval and as a form of distraction from inner unresolved trauma and insecurity. Usually, men who sleep with as many women as possible don’t feel fulfilled either. A more conscious approach would be to work on trauma and approach sex more seriously and consciously, as a way to heal both participants, to transform, to reach mutual pleasure, and to connect to another human being. In such a case, there is no compulsion toward quantity, but rather toward quality and intention. I think that while we live in a very sexualized society, it is still very ignorant about sex and approaches it in a very low-conscious and harmful way. Since we live in a capitalistic society, which is basically a death cult that values material things more than humans, this materialistic approach is poisoning sex as well, causing humans to ignore their humanity and see both themselves and others as objects and masturbation tools rather than living human beings. Our society lacks eroticism (life) in a very fundamental way. Patriarchy, porn and capitalism killed it.
