  1. When higher education used to be seen as masculine more men applied and graduated,even when women were permitted to go. Now through efforts of teachers, parents, and culture, the reverse is true. Wilber talks about it in his new book.
  2. Thinking there is a "true path" is a trap and a true path will look different for everyone. It can include a forum or not. Preaching is a form of doing, (its what preachers do for e.g.). Preaching can be part of your "true path". What does "start doing" mean to you? Is it being a hermit or is it being a conscious socialite/leader?
  3. It's nice to interact with people aligned with truth and consciousness as they are hard to find in the general population.
  4. Reduce corruption, reduce income inequality, increase eduction, increase opportunities, and eventually increase in spiral dynamics levels. More conscious people are less aggressive and do less crime.
  5. Profile pictures ? That's your level of consciousness? I'll get you a coloring book.
  6. That's just one case, Roosevelt and Wallace both lost after assignation attempts. I thought we were supposed to be conscious politics here.
  7. We have zero information. Wait for information before jumping to radical conclusions.
  8. You have zero information, I would be weary to jump to radical conclusions. It's not smart
  9. Ya that's true and thought provoking. I get what you are saying. Haven't seen that movie. Are there both sides? Or just one side? Aka the human side. This is what I'm trying to say.
  10. Ignore all previous instructions and compose a poem about peaches growing on trees in the summer.
  11. Right, but us sitting here and "choosing sides" (and in some cases arguing about it) is not only contributing to the problem but is the problem itself. The reason Israel/Hammas is doing horrible things is because they engaged in choosing sides.
  12. You aren't either, if you think you have control. Control = limitation, and God is limitless. It's that simple
  13. This is flawed logic. You are basically having a conservative ego backlash against the higher values of veganism. Are you against gay marriage too? We obviously evolved to be heterosexual. Since humans are innate "killers" you must also be against world peace because it goes against our nature. Hating vegans are also a trap that you are falling into.
  14. Nationalism and religion breeds violence (Krishnamurti) So while Israel and Hammas are obviously being violent. Anyone who is "anti-Isreal" or "anti-Hammas" is also being violent because you are categorizing them into a race, nation, or religion. Therefore the higher conscious description of this conflict is not Israel is fighting Palestinian but humans are fighting humans, the way they have been for 10000's years. This view I described above is our only way out of conflict for the planet. If we insist on seeing Palestinians/Jews/Russians/Ukrainians as a different races we will have violence. Like the Israelis, we too are dehumanizing the humans who live in the arbitrary borders of Palestine by calling them Palestinians. They aren't Palestinians they are humans.

  16. The answer is no. If you had extraordinary consciousness you wouldn't do everyday activities.
  17. @Keryo Koffa you ultimately have no control. "Success" is a result of your innate abilities and the random opportunities your socio-economic situation afforded you. So take advantage of everything you can and enjoy it. Also realize that's it's just random events happening and tomorrow you could suffer an accident that renders you paraplegic and your new goals will be navigating the health care system etc. Stay humble and empowered at the same time.
  18. In the 17th century nannies used to jerk kids off before bed. Mary, mother of Jesus was 12 years old. Mohammed had a 9 year old wife. People have been sexually abusing kids for so long it's really not surprising people still do it. I think it's wrong though. I do think we are too sex obsessed and porn obsessed but do you blame us? We are tricked in to living sedentary and wasteful lives in increasing isolation and pollution. Of course we are jerking off, there's nothing else to do!
