Aren't men and women equal?

@Leo Gura yes I suppose technological progress can't be resisted.

https://actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-070 Latest quote 070 is profound, and very fun contemplating that one. Thanks Leo!

Lol, true

Leo's latest blog post "human rights are social construct" made me think of this speech. In it Obama claims that US values are "human rights". Otherwise the speech is very interesting especially in contrast with the way George Bush and Trump talk. This speech is a big reason Obama won the Nobel Peace prize since he was trying to mend relationships with the Arab world after 9/11 and the ensuing wars. I also think Trump was trying to do a similar thing when he went to North Korea. Trump thinks he should win the Nobel Peace prize. However, Trump and Obama couldn't be more different people.

Let the universe choose your friends. Just like it chose your hair color, height, mother language, and desires.

Whoever makes you feel good and enjoy their company. Doesn't matter if they are stage yellow or turquoise or blue. If they are annoying and unpleasant it probably not a good friend.

Get comfortable with paradoxes if you are going to be here. You will never understand 100% of anything since everything is infinite.

Awesome insight. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to other insights from you and everyone else.

It's lonely at the top.

Yes to all. My notes are somewhat sparse. 5. Leo's no-nonsense, straight-forward delivery and blunt style resonates and makes the content more understandable than anyone else. My hard head needed a hammer to crack it and he cuts through all the bullshit 7. I struggle with letting go of Leo's hand and doing it for myself haha

Very interesting. There is also the term metamodern that may coincide with what you are describing here. Or maybe transmodern comes after metamodern.

Another good one... https://nurtureyourspirit.org/what-stage-of-spiral-dynamics-are-you-at-spiral-dynamics-test/

Anybody have some examples?

Lol nice

Off topic slightly, but if Jesus didn't rise from the dead than he was merely a great teacher according to Christians. The evidence he rose from the dead comes from about 40 witnesses 2000 years ago. Is that enough evidence to spend a lifetime thinking about a 30 year old from the bronze age?

Wow. @Leo Gurayou always find the most fascinating stuff. let's just hope the orange fraudster in chief also sees due justice.

If you watch yourself you will see all your trauma happens the body (and cells). When getting upset our body morphs, tenses, fidgets, emotes, and the heart rate goes up or down. Thoughts are only part of the body and relatively easier to deal with.

@Leo Gura the blog is great! I check it constantly and read/watch all the posts. Please share as much information as you can. I find it highly valuable to my life.

I recently listened to Destiny Disrupted from Leo's blog and it's incredible. Highly recommend. @Leo Gura,or anyone else, how do you find great books amongst the thousands of books written on each topic?

It's a way to support Leo and you get some great books out of it. Also if you like Leo's work, the books help you see what inspired him.

Interesting this definitely resonates with actualize.org members since Leo is also a big advocate of try things to see if they work. "I am not the body, I am not even the mind" is basically the Neti Neti method right?

Sounds interesting I'm really interested in Sadguru. Sadguru is a popular figure in the actualized community so it's safe and uncontroversial to promote him here. So what do you recommend? Take his course? It's interesting that most people who take his course report their sleeping time being reduced and replaced with his version of Kriya yoga for hours per day. Not sure if that lifestyle is for everyone? If Sadguru is the real deal, what will become with the people who don't have access to him? Are they hopeless? Is Sadguru like a Jesus and without him you can't find salvation? I have to admit I'm highly skeptic of a claim like that. What do you say to all this?

This is a grim prediction that seems plausible. An empire long united must divide.

Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else. Leonardo da Vinci But I think apophenia means seeing patterns where their are none.
