Or you're just a wimp . I cried the day after MDMA because I thought I had lost 50 bucks that I was just about to hand over to a friend of mine. Spent 30 minutes searching for it along the road while sobbing and people walking by. Turns out I had just put it in a weird slot in my wallet. Don't do drugs kids

You don't go into an AA meeting or a therapy session or a cancer treatment center and say "you're all deluded - this is actually pure perfection!" Your delivery should be laced with compassion and careful deliberation.

1:43 A little Tier 2 aswell

In what way are they moral objectivists? Sometimes they will make so many concessions to relativity that it becomes absurd to call them objectivists.

I give you 20 more posts. Good luck

I don't regularily point out flaws in people's character relating to what I consider to be spiritual growth, because everybody is flawed and everybody has their own path, and you ultimately can't do much to affect a person's development unless they come to you specifically for advice. With that in mind however, there is just one thing that I don't vibe with. It's how he so lightly can say things like "everything is perfection" or "without homeless people, people wouldn't love their homes" right infront of... well, homeless people. You can speak about the absolute with good intentions, but always acknowledge that suffering is a real thing for the person who is experiencing it. Some people do have it worse than others, and from their perspective, it's not at all a sign of perfection. Despite how obvious the distinction between relative and absolute might seem from your perspective, that is only your perspective. If I was Connor, I would want to see this careful consideration of the nature of suffering being reflected in my approach to different people and the delivery of my message.

Keep looking O_O

Different pointers for different people.

There is no you.

Doesn't quite look like it

The way they interviewed Connor Murphy right after his most crazy videos seemed very openminded, non-judgmental, compassionate.

I used to think so much that it was hard to get my attention. Then I meditated one time and my mind kinda fell apart. Now it's often hard to even think of anything

Here are some fruits and berries for comparison:

thus implying you're the real high consciousness person

This topic is in a low state of awareness

@PopoyeSailor Spontaneous kundalini awakenings are so fascinating. The seeing through wall thing is yet another example of the conditional nature of these experiences.

Do you think they would be explicit about saying it's about sexual attraction or would they maybe cite some virtue like "the ideal shape of a woman's feet"? In most cases, Orange would be the former, Blue the latter. Breast implants is a choice that a woman makes by herself (ideally) in order to boost her social status or self-esteem. There are of course implicit cultural influences at play, but at the level of individual action, it's a woman enhancing herself for the sake of her individuality. The Chinese feet thing is a practice that is forced upon somebody without their consent and enters the collective conformity aspects of Blue. From the perspective of values, Orange would cite freedom, individual rights etc. while Blue would cite tradition, virtue etc..

Notice how they're studying meditation within the framework of Western medicine: "reducing anxiety", "prolonging attention span". Those are Western concepts that are generally operationalized using materialist constructs (neural and physiological correlates etc.). They don't consider it alternative or paranormal for exactly that reason. "Paranormal" is most of the time just a euphemism for things that are considered a no-go zone for materialist science.

That is the not so easy part

@This Oh yeah I've also thought about that before. This is a naive interpretation in multiple ways. Leo has already given a good explanation for this specifically earlier in the thread. "A well-respected scientist" would never dare to risk their career by seriously studying paranormal phenomena. Look at what happened to Rupert Sheldrake. He used to do regular science and now he is labeled as a kook. @Forestluv I couldn't have asked for a better way to concretize my points. Amazing

I dropped that aswell.

I truly learned what meditation is. I'm not stagnating at all. Infact, my progress scares me.
