Just so you guys can realize how dangerous it can be for the cops: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/hb2lq1/drunk_driver_shoots_cops_then_drives_away/

And more importantly, not everyone exposing cops or police brutality and murder is stage green. Most people on the streets are far from fully imtegrating stage green, not even close. There are some aspects of green emerging, many of them in unhealthy ways. There is a tendency to look at spiral dynamics in a very simplistic way, as if there was no nuanced. A lot of western people have even problems integrating stage blue and orange in a healthy way, let alone green. Just because someone is against discrimination does not mean they have fully integrated green, nor orange, nor blue. Most people are a mix between all of them, lacking in aspects in all of them and having developed many dysfunctions in all of them.

How can we create systemic change with fear? How can we expect the governments to change if we ourselves are driven by fear? Do you not see that when you tell a person to fear the police, when you show him something that makes him fear the police, that this is the result? When you give a victim a narrative of victimhood, what will that do? Will that make him fearful or loving? Will it damage him or heal him? Narrative is everything, it can be empowering or crippling. You can decide what you choose for your fellow brothers and sister. Fear cannot create change towards the Good, because fear is that which resists the Good. It is that which cannot accept and cannot love. How do you expect consciousness to increase if that by which you seek to increase it is that which blinds you from seeing the Truth? Fear is the very reason why any of this is happening, if you continue to choose fear it will divide not unify us. People are understanding from a place of fear and fear shall be that which they see. People are protesting from a place of fear and fear shall be that which they get. Why are you taking this dream so seriously if you claim not to be asleep? Why is it that fear motivates you when you claim to see Love?

I get very skeptical of teachers who start predicting apocalypses. I guess we will see in a year if he stands to be corrected. I don't consider this the same at all. -

He is making clear statements about the relative world with a lot of confidence, not just some vague predicting of the end a period ala the maya calender. It seems like you are being too charitable as far as his position goes. Did you actually watch the video I linked? -

Leo was posting his stuff lately so I don't know what's going on there. -
Have you seen the video on slaughterhouse workers that I linked here on this forum once? Animals cruelty and killing has quite a strong correlation to violence towards humans. There is a fundamental reason for this. And this reason is that the animals are much more similar to you than your disciminating mind will allow you to see. You might not be capable of recognizing the individuality and consciousness of the pig and see the same as that of a child, because this would terrify you. It would terrify you what we do to children. Whilst we like to use the differences between us and animals to justify killing and enslaving them, it will never be the case that our deep commonalities will dissappear. The true reasons why you care about your own suffering and that of those you love is present in pigs as much as any human being. Therefore, the only reason why you can do to a pig what you cannot do to a human is because of a label you have put upon him. And changing that label is much easier than you think.

This is all about narrative. The United States has chosen a narrative of division instead of unification. I think for now you will become more divided, unless you all actively engage in creating a narrative that unifies you into a greater purpose. Don't forget that the easier way to look past out differences is having a unifying goal. The absence of a strong and robust narrative within the America Story is one of the main reasons why you are losing and falling back into a mentality of self-absorption. -
This is so amazing.

Keep in mind that Brahmi might have an effect on the thyroid and boost Thyroxin production. If you have thyroid problems make sure that things don't get out of balance.

Exactly, things are the way they must be and I must tell you that this kind of attitude will not help us at all. It will help your suffering, but not that of your brothers and sisters. It seems like you cannot see the wonderful oppurtunity and potential we have been given here. Everything must be the way it is, but everything must also be as free as it is. You cannot deny your own freedom with the presence of perfection. This is what I mean, Christ would have not even come up with such an excuse. To him things being exactly the way they have to be fuel his compassion and action. He did not hide behind it in an attempt to find satisfaction. One compelling narrative can change the world. And whether you want to or not, you are inevitably creating a narrative for yourself. "Things are exactly as the must be". Ask yourself, why are you telling us this? Why are you saying that which is so obvious, which is present in all actions, unless it shall motivate actions itself? You wouldn't say this if you had no desire to change that which must be. Because the desire to change that which must be is part of that which must be, and it is wonderful and perfect this way.

I think climate scientists predict that some parts of the world like for example Europe will become far colder due to the distruption of the golf stream, so I would not hold my breath. Dependning on where you live it might become far colder. It will be the poor people in underdeveloped countries who will feel, and already feel, the greatest impact from climate change.

This is relative and the reason why moral progress is paramount. If we had included our brothers and sisters living in nature to be part of our identity, we would have by now felt the urge to take action. What is lacking is not technology but simply our ability to mobilize action. And our ability to mobilize action is directly linked towards our identities and how evolved they are. What er require is a compelling narrative that will be able to unify us into the voluntary adoption of responsibility for all our brothers and sisters. The fundamental problems of moral nihilism is that it is like throwing out one of the most important tools the Divine has given us to contribute to it's Creation in an effective manner. Notice that after enlightenment Christ was motivated to help people to the degree that he would sacrifice his life for others. What is the difference between him and you? He has not philosophized himself out of compassion and empathy and justified his inaction with that which ironically fuels all actions.

Not to forget different constitutional types which are not at all recognized in western medicine. Looking at ayurveda for example for Vatas, like what I am, fasting can have negative effects, which is something I actually observed myself over time. Fasting worked well for me in the short term, but in the long term it deteriorated my health. On the contrary caffeine also has an especially bad effect on Vatas, which I observed aswell.

This is why responsible psychedelic use is key. And alss, I guess that's one way of god telling you to leave the toads alone. We have alternatives that are safer and do not require the exploitation of our brothers and sisters. -

There are a lot of dysfunctional people who are interested in meditation, self-improvement and psychedelics. The amount of people I know who believe in absurd conspiracy theories whilst also doing spiritual practices is staggering. A lot of nonsense is coming from the spiritual community lately due to dysfunctional people adopting these kinds of belief sets.

It's very interesting to pose the question of, how long would it take for society to cease it's discrimination against a group if that group had no way of resisting or speaking up against it's oppressors? What if they had no way of having their voice be heard? What would our current society be capable of doing to them, whilst at the same time priding itself on an illusion of equality and compassion? -
Try Brahmi it can help with caffeine withdrawal.

Simple, no enough conscious people enter the educational system. Too many "conscious" people waste time circle-jerking infront of gurus. We will have enough time to circle-jerk ourselves in the future, when existential threats have been solved.

This is utterly wonderful. We know exactly what to do, we know exactly how to contribute. We live in a time in which being Loving is the easiest and most needed thing to do. The dysfunction of todays system is the most wonderful opportuninity for making your contribution to change the fate of this planet. It has never been easier before, it has never been this obvious. That which you criticize is that which you must do better. When there is more darkness, there is more room to be filled with light. The pioneers are already at work while others are sitting back and criticizing. All that is required is getting our ass up and helping those who are already helping. If there is noone helping yet, good. This is your opportunity to shape the first path.

If you do not see the love, learn to see it. He is a difficult case, but I have not seen an attempt made to understand him or to communciate honestly. I don't think anyone is really about anything. What they are about is what is chosen to be expressed by the Divine. If you want that sort of expression to cease to exist, you have to convince the Divine to express something else. -
Could be, but I don't know how much these studies account for malabsorption issues. To me it seems hard to argue how sublingual tablets are not always saver to take than oral ones, especially now that gut issues seem to have become more prevalent. I seem to have issues with gluten consumption and I definitely do not want to risk to run into b12 deficiency again.
