How to be wise

Ram Dass is one of my favourite teachers ever. I learnt a lot from reading his autobiography.

Professor who correctly predicted every presidential election since 1984:

@Leo Gura You’ve demonstrated in your blog videos that you can talk for 2 hours with no notes. NJs will struggle to talk for 15 minutes without some sort of prompt.

I trust Leo with my politics.

@eggopm3 The difference between NJ and NP is that they are ‘direct’ and ‘informative’ respectively. Basically NP can talk all day, while NJ will usually get right to the point and use fewer words. You see this best when you watch NJs vs NPs giving lectures. NJs will always use notes and PowerPoint because they don’t know what to say without them, while NPs can give a two hour lecture with no notes and no preparation.

I actually think Russell Brand is tier 2, (albeit with Green politics) because of his deep involvement with spirituality and personal development, the things that actualized.org is about.

@Leo Gura Russell Brand defends Green against Orange:

What spiral stage is Russell operating from politically?

@Leo Gura Eckhart Tolle approves of Russell’s politics:

But Russell brand has been involved in non-dual work. Surely non-duality is above Green?

@Thought Art Conservatism isn’t necessarily the opposite of liberalism. They are not mutually exclusive.

@asifarahim Iran poses an ideological threat to the other Muslim countries, because they want to convert everyone to Shiism. Salafism was the counter movement to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, when Iran began exporting Shiism to the rest of the Muslim world. They converted tens of millions of Sunnis to Shia Islam.

Then what is stage Turquoise? If you read the Turquoise mega-thread, you’ll see that spirituality and stage Turquoise are synonymous.

@asifarahim Lol. If you go to YouTube, you can quickly see the hate that most Sunnis have for Shiites. The number of atrocities that isis committed against the Shia is simply uncountable. Look at Yemen. Isn’t the reason why the Saudis are fighting the houthis is because the houthis are Shia? Otherwise there’s no other reason for Arabs to be fighting each other. Most Sunnis do not share your sentiment for the Shia.

Attraction is there the moment you see each other. There’s nothing you have to do to get it. If polarity was a requirement for marriage success, he would’ve made it a principle of his book. ‘The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work’ does not include polarity.

It’s interesting since he has interviewed so many non-dual teachers that he can’t be tier 1. So why is his politics so bad?

@Leo Gura What do you think about Russell Brand’s take on politics.

I’m speaking on someone who’s a master of marriage success.

They were too busy fighting the Shia in Iraq. For ISIS, Jews and Shiites are on the same infidel category.

Gaddafi was killed by Libyans. Libyans turned Libya into a failed state. Europe did not support Saudi in fighting the houthis. The weapons were given in exchange for oil. It’s called business. They didn’t. There is no war without casualties.

They are practically the same. The pedophile logo just has an extra line on the bottom. Light blue vs dark blue isn’t much of a difference either. Must’ve been a hell of a coincidence.

Again, when you read the book on making marriage work, it says absolutely nothing about this. John Gottman, the author, is a marriage therapist who spent 40 years analysing relationships, and in his book he says nothing of ‘masculinity’ or ‘polarity’. It has nothing to do with the success of a marriage.

@asifarahim Most of those atrocities happened when Europe was at Blue/Orange. Europe is now at stage Green.

Raising another man’s child is not very appealing to me. I’m putting in all the effort so that another man passes on his genes to the next generation, while mine are cut off. I have sympathy for the mothers who want to find a relationship, but I couldn’t imagine myself being in one. I want my dna to be passed on to the next generation.
