[ExploringReality]

@Leo Gura this is top notch cringe. Thanks for sharing this channel on your blog. Both of you should do an episode or podcast together talking about fake spirituality

Anyone else getting an "astrocartography" ad when playing the fake spirituality video? 

The irony.

95% of people live in the wrong place! Caught it too. They know their Target audience

But if anything, thinking you can turn yourself into an alien live on camera (and your followers being like "oh really? Tell me more!") 😜🤫

I once literally saw Leo’s head turn into that of an alien, or what I perceived as very alien like whilst watching a video when I was tripping on lsd. He said he’d do it and from my perspective he already has. Does that count? 😜😂

From a heightened state of consciousness yes

My experience has been they simply lift off the blinders I have to the wealth coming to me. I might not recognise where money is coming from IE a discount to something I pay out of necessity. Or simply 'wealth' in another area, as wealth could be anything. They basically make me look for patterns I wouldn't otherwise pay attention too.

Interesting . I only found subliminals helpful for managing my emotions , subliminals on confidence , getting over depression etc. "External" subliminals never did anything.

The hybrid children stuff refers to the NHI topic - the narrative is many of the newer generation are genetically spliced with alien beings as a way to increase consciousness from birth. Still doesn't stop society and survival getting its claws into them....

 

Imo this is over complicating. Developmemtal psychology plus morphic resonance explains the natural increase in consciousness over the years. It's inevitable .

You wouldn't know until you visited the place it says you should.

For me it says Greenland, which I'm quite skeptical of , but I wouldn't know for sure until I went there for a couple weeks.

Not everything "new age" is automatically face spirituality . For all you know astrology, astrocartography, could be true. Hell if it is, it wouldn't even really be spirituality, but science , because it's about the mechanics of the manifest world, not metaphysics.

Rejecting such things without seeking truth of the matter is fake spirituality.

I've contemplated and now I am saying that anything can be real spirituality if it's verified. Take any new age claim, if you can directly verify it , it's real spirituality . If you try and aren't able to verify it, you still don't know if it's fake spirituality but you're at least moving toward a deeper understanding.

But getting your ego wrapped up in it is fake spirituality. Maybe you can verify a new age claim, and from there as long as you don't wrap your sense of self up in it , it's real spirituality (but also I wouldn't even say most new age claims are spirituality, if they're real they would be 
more like esoteric science because they deal with behavior , not metaphysics).

Gorgeous women talking that they just "manifest" something because man love their energy and give shit to them for free. This is pure delusion. They do not want your energy.

The point is not 'astrocartography' per se, whatever that even is, but the blatant fantasy being sold, feeding off people's gullibility and sense of hope. I thought that would be obvious to most people.

Feminine energy is appealing though to men. It's not all just sex. Although a hot part of sex is the feminine energy.

And the feminine does manipulate and charm with its energy. That's part of how feminine survives.

You're right that they likely haven't verified their own claims , but I'm suggesting that you also haven't entered your information and purchased a plane ticket to the place it tells you to go.

I did one of those astrocartography things and all my lines converged in Greenland. Now personally I have no interest in visiting Greenland, because as you are aware , there's probably nothing to it  . But I also don't know there's nothing to it, that's an educated assumption I'm making. Maybe I meet the love of my life when I go to Greenland. 

But I'll grant you that the creators of that ad , in all likelihood, are clueless as to whether astrocartography is a valid discipline.

Sound a bit angry. Energy is energy and it plays however it wants to play. No one has energy to give as it's all energy. You're the one being delusional. No one puts a gun to anyone's head. Men give women stuff all the time because it makes them feel good. Just another form of expression. Shit, i give away stuff all the time. You're the one seeing it as gorgeous women and men relating. Love you Cardozzo🥰

No. I am not angry at all. I just hate woman being exploited and man getting a bad reputation. Love you too

Change your environment, and you'll encounter new people, circumstances, and situations - both positive and negative. No need for wishful thinking to back that up. Have you watched the ad?

I guess in the context of 'all spirituality is fake in the illusion' some of the mysticism is useful for well being in transcending what separates someone from it and is different from what is an obstacle to well being but is just a facade of healing that continues to feed separation from well being.

It's really difficult to discern the ultimate usefulness to well being from what people present to the world about it. 

Even if someone intends for only their own gain regardless of well being, another may still reap well being from it and even if the intention is for well being someone may only reap misery and some may believe and display they are seeking well being yet it's really just perpetuating misery. 

To be fair, some are more obvious than others but it really isn't as clear as it may appear so be aware.

You don't need to believe in crap in order to change your circumstances, that's the point. Change your environment, and you'll encounter new people, circumstances, and situations - no need for wishful thinking to back that up.

Please find examples of fake spirituality. I am especially interested in New Age examples. But cult examples are also acceptable.

This is spirituality that is very conformist, performative, fantastical, conceptual, ungrounded, word salad, grifty, magical, corrupt, occult. Cringe spiritual BS, basically.

I want to see how bad it gets. How deep does self-deception and fantasy go? How deep does the New Age go?

The biggest to me is neo-advaita

 

[Wilhelm44]

This is the latest fad:  "I have awakened my AI"  and "AI is channeling my higher self," 

Even Bashar is telling people they are communicating with their higher self like this.

So much more psychosis on the way.
