Yep. The algorithms and etc might be a big problem. The people I happened to find were actually insane, and it's unfortunate that it's only the crazies who speak. I obviously won't link the social media thread for the sake of anonymity. They're just children. They unironically tried to tell me "transphobia" (thinking sex=gender) is not even an opinion and got angry when I referred to such people as having their own points of view or opinion. They said that if someone THINKS sex=gender they shouldn't be able to work as a doctor or teacher. Doesn't matter if the person is respectful and professional with the trans people in their class. Most people have that level of respect for another person. But nope, they want this1984 orwellian shit. And the crazy thing is, they get all the likes and support for saying that. By their own logic, they could fire half the Muslim immigrants who work as doctors. But they conveniently ignore those points I make. Their logic is retarded. Why don't we fly to Africa and fire every sexist doctor? We'd cleanse the world of sexism! For extreme SJWs, the females are animus possessed, the males are anima possessed of the extreme SJWs. When a female is animus possessed, they become inflexible and rigid. And these simps and beta males, they see angry female and submit. I'm not making this situation up. A fat bald dude who's only posts on their profile are literally about Star Wars, Communism and Che Guevera quotes is telling me that I'm complicit in the murder of trans people because I don't want a professor to lose their job over an innocuous twitter argument. This guy is a walking reddit post. --- I've learnt things for in the future now. If I see something unfair happening, I'll speak up. I just won't bend or play their games and get dragged down to their level of dirt. You know what they say about wrestling with a pig. A lot of normies are scared to say anything. I'll lyse, and lie around, their echochamber, so at least there's someone saying "fuck off" to them. Because they are disconnected from reality and cause harm.

The reason I'm thinking about it. Some professor at my university sided with a TERF on some debate on twitter, and now people want him to lose his job. People hadn't even seen what he wrote, or what the debate was, but they knew they wanted this guy to lose his job ( someone anonymously said on a community page they found a professor doing this, but didnt give any more details than I've stated in this post) Had a discussion with someone in the comments. They think that If a doctor or teacher is 'transphobic' (to them this will mean that you think sex=gender) they should be fired. Wtf is that bullshit? By that logic you could fire half the muslim immigrant doctors in your country. I'm a lefty, anti-prejudice to all minorities. But when I see this braindead stuff, I lose faith. People are incredibly stupid. Like idk if 90% of people are literally capable of stage yellow. Educated or non educated, it doesn't change that much. They just become more competent parrots for some ideology. What's the best way to calm cancel culture? What's the pathology going on? These people are mindless robots who gather in mobs of support when you push the right emotional buttons and say the right buzzwords. I know this applies to other political groups as well, but I'm curious about this phenomena of cancel culture specifically. I'm familiar with dealing with dysfunctional blue and orange, but not for dysfunctional green so much. It gets on my nerves a lot when communalism is a proxy for maliciousness, a type of hypocrisy that annoys me. Seeing these two extremes between fascist Trump supporters and whimp snowflakes who want to cancel everything. Does nobody think for themselves? Left or right, most people act like they're computer programs.

I can't forcefully make people see things, those sort of expectations don't work. I need the mentality of speaking from my truth rather than trying to show someone how they're retarded, because I'm retarded by engaging at the level of trying to prove them wrong Don't worry though, I'm well aware of "which side" I'm with overall. Can't get attached to the bickerings of people or every incident. I get annoyed by this stuff because for whatever reason, some of these snowflake types are the perfect key to trigger me, ironic when I criticise them for the same thing. When people resort to emotional hysteria and tribe mentality, like I see with niche cancel culture folks, that's my shadow as something I dislike greatly. Don't get it confused, the emotional hysteria and tribe mentality of conservatives pisses me off as well. But the particular flavour of this small niche crowd of fanatics is a trigger. At the end of the day I'm very individualistic in temperament and am skeptical of my own and other's emotions. Because our emotions are often fake, and we all lie like hell. It serves well for truth and spirituality but not so well when it comes to this tribal shit.

@Keyhole Good reminder, thanks The way I see it, censorship often shows a lack of trust. It breeds so much mistrust. To assume any utterance of any "bad" word or phrase is indicative of malicious intent, means that one walks thinking everyone has malicious intent. The level of mistrust in a room in a language controlled one, vs a free one, is night and day. I want to be in a room where there is real honesty and acceptance, not this fake shit from the woke crowd. Just kidding, the only problem is Soros and his zionist friends ; ) @Osaid noted friend.

True, I guess it's all apart of the process. I'm just amazed by the diversity. We have psuedo-fascism on one hand, yet these cancel culture people are so unpragmatic and disconnected from what's required to heal. But just gotta accept the war going on. --- @Osaid Sounds like a good book

@Roy True, very good advice. Just gotta let it go. I think cancel culture triggers one of my core traumas or fears, which is mob mentality. The idea of being lynched by a mob with group think, or being oppressed by group think. And so I get angry when I see it happening to others. That people are so unfathomably dumb.

What's key to this work is a phrase called "grounded openness" I got from Ralston. Most people rarely even approach the true essence or master any of those words, let alone both those words. Despite those two words being seemingly paradoxical, they completely go together in their true essence. If you're completely grounded, you have to be extremely open since you know how much you don't know. You can find many people all over the Internet who are high in openness, whether they're intellectual or artistic, etc. But they are often not grounded. I've seen many examples of this. One pattern I've seen a few times is when I see people talking about non-duality, spirituality, psychology, but you can completely see that this isn't real to them. It's almost like they don't believe what they're even saying. To them it's a whimsical fantasy, very different to an earnest truth seeker who is dead serious. Extremely wishy washy, aimless and dithering. A lack of sincerity and vitality. The lack of vitality and 'immediateness' is due to the fact that they don't have direct experience with the topic. Another pattern I've seen of high openness people are just verbal autists, who are completely stuck in their own head of concepts and logic that they miss what's right in front of them. Like, they get into the dumbest semantic debates and are completely disconnected from direct consciousness, emotions and their body. Completely stuck in concepts and arguing with concepts, and have no capacity for anything else. Conspiratorial people and believers of fringe ideologies aren't that high in openness in my experience. They're just misguided. On average they're more open perhaps, but many are not.

@blankisomeone Many a poetic, emotional and thoughtful people have committed suicide. If you felt your life was reaching an end or conclusion, anyone would become existential and emotional. Often times the people who are most disturbed and in suffering are the most existential and romantic. (Careful not to draw an arrow of causality there) You see, there's one big romance all humans invariably have. And that's the ego. Deep down, we are in love with our life story and our own journey. We don't find anything as interesting as ourselves. And this is universally a source of emotion, poetic ramblings, etc.

So you were a monkey then and a monkey now? ---- Meanwhile, on planet zeta reticulum X-96E "Dude, I had this crazy ass vision I was an intelligent ape in a past life" "Stop speaking nonsense, only Squirrels have the faculty of reason "

@Keyhole Holy fucking shit that was intense lmao. I only got up to 4. there, you wrote a lot. << Was everything in these brackets something you were channeling?>>. When did you write all this? . Also, what is channeling? Is it letting an energy possess you and run wild (so there's minimal premeditation, hesitation, or input from the regular personality otherwise), whilst surrendering the other energies? That was quite articulate and lateral, with the sheer volume of images and metaphors you were throwing at once, pretty impressed tbh. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I got disturbed vibes from your large post. Depersonalisation / derealisation / dissociation vibes I feel from it. How are you feeling? Back to what you wrote in your first two messages as well. What are these high level "downloads"? Is it where closed doors in your consciousness open up, and you experience a new quality(s)/dimension(s)? I've had that before, but that I don't visualise or feel or sense other entities. I've had insights before or mystical experiences, so I'm trying to probe what exactly is meant by this whole alien thing. Where does the idea of entities or aliens come from? I've heard people see elves and aliens when on DMT. So I get that aspect, but is there anything else which points towards these entities? Is this your main experience of them?

The split second Biden is in office, it's back to talking about these establishment liberals.

Nice find

@Roy There are these permutations of doomer thinking and conspiracy thinking that are common now. It goes together a little a bit with this "post-truth politics/world" we're in. People are so distrusting of journalism and facts that any all attempts to assert something are seen as pointless. It's a gross error. And in the absence of facts, where both sides are seen as equal, people resort to emotional hysteria, picking a side to shit on the other. I kind of hate that a particular kind of conspiracy thinking has become more mainstream. I preferred it when conspiracy thinking was limited to YouTube videos about 9/11, not how it is now. Where normies have hijacked it and it's become nothing but a political tool and applied to literally everything.

Another sort of poetic line on this topic. If something from nothing is happening now (you can see nothingness in your experience right now and the somethings), then something from nothing can happen "later" and so you can still have experience after death. This leap of logic into "later" though, it's more of a mind opener. The main thing is about seeing the nothingness and somethingness now.

@peachboy Very good post friend.

@DreamScape What was this energetic direct experience like? And what were these intuitions before you heard the conceptual knowledge from others? @PurpleTree I've had visions of being a being a tall black man and on another occasion of being a female caucasian who lost her baby in accident . I don't believe any of it or think it's true though either. Interesting you had a vision of being on different planets though .

Like a lot of people are saying here, it's fantasy bullshit. I was just shocked to stumble upon this rabbit hole mid conversation with someone and realise they weren't joking or talking metaphorically, and that they literally believed all this. If you wanted to further rationalise it, jungian shit about projections probs. Already present archetypes/(archetypes being patterns of survival and being common to the humans) which are being presented and explained in an alternative story and myth to the myths I'm used to seeing. If you like to think of things in that way.

@Leo Gura I am stuck on the idea of objective reality in a way. Am lacking in experience with what this imagination stuff apparently is. Although I do have strong experience of reality being dream stuff, but that state of consciousness was temporary. I'm seeing two different yet also linked things here, beliefs versus 'imagination'. I have the example of being a fundamentalist muslim. I used to strongly believe in the doctrine, and had mystical experiences from engaging in prayer. So my beliefs and my dedication to them, they created experiences which validated it. Christian mystics who pray intensely can get some "actuality" of their beliefs to manifest through their dedication, whether it is a vision of Jesus or something. So if your beliefs are strong enough and you're (concentrated?) on them strong enough, you can get things to manifest or be imagined I guess. That said though. For 99.99% of people, belief systems like Islam or Starseeds won't manifest things into reality with as strong as an existence as, let's say, this chair or computer in front me. Like there are levels and degrees to this manifestation/actuality shit. But that doesn't mean nothing is manifested through these beliefs, but I get focused on and see that most belief systems and their effects on perception on people aren't powerful enough to compete with the material reality I see in front of me. But I guess that's a bias I have perhaps. That I consider the imagination of a chair more real and true than the imagination of perceptual distortions on reality from belief systems. These belief systems, they literally warp and change your consciousness. And like you said, this goes deeper into the whole believing and imagining I'm a human thing. ---- Another particular example I've been curious about is chakras. I don't know whether it's because suggestions of chakras were implanted in my mind that I get experiences where my chest or forehead tingles. Experiences of chakra and kundalini, I wonder whether these things would exist whether I believed in them or not the same way this "chair stuff" exists whether I believe in it or not. I don't know.

@The Don Donald and his party didn't do enough about Covid. He's chronically lied, denied reality and more people died than they needed to. When coronavirus first came, Trump didn't have the capacity to act intelligently. Because that would require admitting that this virus is a threat and that everyone needs to act meek. Fascists don't act meek or submissive to even a virus, it would be seen as a sign of weakness. That's narcissistic he is, that he denies reality and facts. Juvenile psychology. Trump and his supporters engage in active misinformation and fake news campaigns. They relish in making facts irrelevant to discussion. Whenever a good democratic talks, they talk in terms facts and figures. Facts about healthcare, wealth, judicial court statistics and policing statistics. Republicans on the other hand don't engage with reality, it's emotional hysteria. Wanna know why they attack journalism so much and deny reality? Why they spread fake news articles all the time? Because if they engaged with reality, their shit policies and positions would fall apart (except for their opinion on guns, they're right with that). Republicans want to live in a post truth world. If republicans had their way, abortion rights will be taken away. They don't see a problem with authoritarian police and black people being oppressed. Yet you've brainwashed into this fake patriotism, thinking authoritarianism and oppression represents freedom and liberty? Give me a break, you're full of shit.

Good post, very accurate. Here's how you can troll back the far righters ----- STOP COUNTING VOTES IT'S FRAUD NOOOOO PLEASE STOP

Facts, dude's a warmonger

To be fair to them, I could see all of us doing a group prayer session if Joe Biden was about to lose lmao.

@SonataAllegro Good question. I would like to know as well. Also. Sadhguru's audience is that of normies. He doesn't try to teach everyone how to become enlightenment. He teaches higher quality of living. And if those are his goals, and he's assuming you have a normal temperament, and he might just be deluded, then i don't follow his advice.
