I agree. I was seriously considering supporting AOC before. Her policy and understanding will end up hurting people instead of helping them in the long term. Brainwashed progressives think that the disagreement means we are not supporting workers and poor people and many of the progressive leaders consciously paint us as such in order to further their own survival. But the disagreement is with their ideological thinking.

To answer your question in the title. Metaverse being a dystopia is mostly dependent on Facebook winning the VR customer base. (apart from collective consciousness levels with respect to rise in technological development, which is rapidly rising and will rise exponentially more due to the shift in the education system by highly innovative companies and startups ) I would bet that there is a 90 percent chance that Facebook will fail to do so. IBM was the Facebook of that day, despite that customers went with Apple. Same with Nokia, Motorola and a dozen different mammoths across several industries. At one point people were speculating that a postal company is going to take over the world! If those speculations were true it would have been the world's first trillion-dollar company a long time ago. Obviously, the postal company started failing despite being a mammoth. These things are super-super counter-intuitive to predict.

Modern Monetary Theory/ Mony Printing hurts poor people and workers the most. In fact, it absolutely shatters them. Yet Stephanie Kelton, literally the face of Modern Monetary Theory, is the senior economic advisor to Bernie Sanders. Now she is working with AOC as well.

Even after all this, the collective wealth will reduce, not increase. This is not the first time this will be implemented. It has been implemented 10s of times and there is more than enough data to understand it on a cause and effect basis. But an ideological person by definition can only care about his or her ideology. Even when the ideology is about caring about other people. That is the danger of ideology. Don't understand why that is a paradox in some groups, it is quite apparent. People are grossly incompetent in distinguishing between the concepts of wealth and money, at a collective level. Politicians take advantage of this.

I may be shooting in the dark here. But is this the cycle you are going through: you feel anger due to the distance and the ability to connect with each other, then you think this issue will be resolved by changing your perspective, followed by another anger burst due to an external cause like an argument or an internal one like feeling distanced, then you feel the guilt. Soon you find this happening again. The above may be completely inaccurate, but if it accurate view of your situation then please let me know. Either way feel free to post here or contact me via a Private Message. Would love to chat with you. The above cycle is relatively common in such circumstances. It produces self-inhibitory behavior and depression, while the cycle itself is perpetually self-fueling making it even worst. The only way is to recognize it and break the cycle itself.

Also note that when Leo says literally 10 million, it is not really literally. If you make the estimates properly the limit on wealth would have to be actually set at about 10 million dollars regardless of the value a person has created, not at 1 billion as it is claimed by some. It is a slippery slope from that point.

:-D

hmmm

rule 2?

Yeah. @Carl-Richard what do you mean? You can accelerate or use another material before flipping it upside down?

We used to do this in high school. If covering is allowed then by covering it and making it airtight before turning it upside down on a smooth surface, and then simply slide the covering material (paper, sheet or plastic) out.

@Hardkill Not sure about the details of this but from the big picture view it can go both ways. Countries across the globe have used this for the long-term benefit and depending upon the implementation it can have negative long-term consequences as well. My personal opinion is that we don't really know until the execution we will have in years because on paper the ideas can say anything. Politicians can say anything on paper. Execution can go both ways over time, so certainly worth contemplating on potential negative consequences as well.

There may be a communication gap. No problem.

I am aware of all that. But again, the question is and was about the relative domain. Kundalini is described by those who experience it in samadhi as a relative form of consciousness. By SantataGamana for eg. Of course, you cannot describe it perfectly in words. Some call it virginal consciousness, some dynamic consciousness basically, some even call it the real you. But such a description is a recurring pattern by those who have experienced Samadhi.

Nothing with a capital N. If there was nothing then no one would be able to speak or write. (or the speaking or writing won't happen if that is a better framing) That is true. But an individual's "intent", "will" etc. are still their own in the Relative domain. I do not use the word will in the literal psychological sense that is why put it in quotes above. Not will as defined in psychology just to be clear. Different people call it by different names. If someone developed their concentration they will get much better results in affirmations. The Power is available to all the same, because all are One, that is where you are right. But see how based on one's own development of concentration there is a difference in physical manifestation of that Power. The confusion which you have highlighted in your post above. Kundalini is a relative form of consciousness for eg. Nobody owns Life-force/Kundalini. In the Absolute, it is for all, let's say for the sake of keeping the language simple. But if you develop Kundalini you will get different results compared to others in the Relative domain. After you develop Kundalini through Kriya Yoga you cannot say that it is available to all at this instant. Results will still differ for other people depending on if they have the time to invest, genetic gift, etc. This all is compatible with the fact that there is no doer. It is certainly not conjectured or ideological. Please let me know what you think.

For eg. Leo still likes Sex and Porn. You might have seen it on the forum. So not necessarily letting go of these. The point is not to do different things but to do things differently. It is cliche but true.

@ValiantSalvatore If you want someone as an accountability partner I can do that on a weekly basis. But I don't really like to share my self-actualization journey. It can be a one-way thing if you like that. You can share and I will discuss some general things. People say they enjoy discussions with me. You mentioned depression in your post. Let me know if you going through that. I would be more than happy to talk. Occasionally feeling down is alright, but yeah it does happen when these negative feedback loops lead to clinical depression.

@Nahm There is something within the mind. After gaining consistent results, some start call it the will, intent, others start feeling it as their diety or the universe. There is "something within". This will, intent, etc. then overcome this confusion you are highlighting automatically. It can be observed that those with a burning desire only overcome and their mind starts developing so the burning desire at some point gets transmuted into this "intent", "will", "üniverse", "faith that knows" etc. Apart from utilizing burning desire there is a small group of people who are spiritually gifted who can access these directly within their consciousness. But for the rest utilizing burning desire is the only way, it is apparent. Of course, one gotta feel non-attached to the desire as well as feel complete as you have said above. What do you think about this?

I hope you are not depressed. :-)

@SQAAD On top of that I will add. People in new age and personal development communities saying "When you want something you are affirming the lack of something so affirmations don't work" is one of the dumbest useless platitudes ever. The point is to feel a sense of completeness so you are happy in the journey and from a technical point of view that your mind is capable of functioning in a state where it can manifest successfully. Without that state of evenness or psychological completeness (not to be confused with spiritual completeness), you don't activate your spiritual resources within so they don't work. This got straw manned into the form to which you are referring above.

I dislike the production quality of Habit of Ferocity as well. The teaching style also feels unnecessarily messy, like it was made in a hurry. But it is an exception. This is rare in Mindvalley courses.

@SQAAD As Leo has said, visualisation is more powerful than affirmations. Affirmations work but it requires a lot of experimentation for at least a few months before one proves to themselves that this works while developing one's unique method for making it work consistently. The latter is even more important than the general principles, so experimentation is the key here anyways. Most people using affirmations who fail do so because too often the elements of burning desire, concentration, and expectation are not combined in their affirmation practice. These emotions are the key. They do mix some emotions but the above emotions are pretty much non-negotiable which they miss. Apart from that, a general rule of thumb is, Manifesting your dream or vision in your life requires even more work, not less work, as compared to the common approaches. People miss it and think the check will manifest magically, whereas in reality, manifesting a vision for financial independence will probably require even more hustle in the short to mid-term, as compared to the commonly used approaches. Quite counterintuitive. There are some exceptions like Marc Allen to this rule(who gave the world success with ease affirmations, founder of new world library). Such people are spiritually gifted. For the remaining ~99.9% population, this is how it works. Hope that is useful.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. As for your kind request at the end, please learn to communicate like adults and not like 4-year-olds throwing tantrums when they need something or want to say something.
