The only thing I want to confirm to is your Infinite Beauty and Wisdom.

@Leo Gura I took your wine example as an example and thought experiment. The history or original creation of a thing is sort of irrelevant when it comes to people enjoying it or not. At the same time, alcohol in general is a conformist thing. 
 

The episode was good I thought. Still, it’s like refining out ideas from previous videos. Not exactly new. I also, I don’t fully grasp where you are guiding us too. I found myself asking… what’s the point of this? 
 

I do like how I see more clearly how my thoughts, actions and survival are sort of this “reflection” of culture…. One of my favourite songs “Reflektor” for some reason has me contemplating the fractal nature of human thought and creativity and how much of it is just reflections. 
 

The idea of creating new thoughts, sovereign cognition and aspects of consciousness is interesting. You mentioned you are leading me to God realization. Which, actually leads me to a question because I’ve had psychedelic experiences on 5meodmt recently that left me entirely alone in this perfect singularity which I resisted very strongly.  The realization of no time, birth, death etc actually really scared me and has me questioning continuing with this work for now. I’ve been in this state before but this last time I really resisted it. Weird paradox territory. I think my grasping ego distorted the trip. 
 

I feel this video dove tails with so many previous episodes.

I think for me. Right now this episode has me contemplating my of cognition. I don’t think I’m ready for deep original thinking at this point in my life but I appreciate having access to this information. I think if anything being able to see and make high quality distinctions of the types of conformity I do play Into is healthy. 
 

Leo, I am wonder if you think that we should return to whether or not we live cognize consciously as a first principle and not whether what we do is conformist. We are fractal being and we can’t escape Conformity entirely and I don’t think that’s the goal of your teaching. I think, for many of us it’s to be more conscious of the social matrix, group think and conformity. A few of us will from this work go on to create great original works I’m sure 

 

I think beyond just not being conformist is to learn the skill of meta cognition, instropection, philosophy, and to be construct aware, and aware of group think dynamics and social matrix. Then, with this the goal is to develop a mature, stable, Actualized and functional mind to live a good life. 
 

I am not really interested in the Alien consciousness stuff but open to hearing about it.

Saying "thank you" and commenting on his clothes is being on topic in this thread, and what I shared is not? Come on.

Please, let's not argue about this petty thing.

No, I was talking about the random post on pirating.

Conform onto me and never let go.

[Thought Art]

That was the easiest Where’s Waldo ever. Didn’t need the whole 4 hours. 🤪

I went trick or treating by myself as an adult and did not confirm to social rules.

Personally I'm glad there are so many conformist people. It is the backbone of a country. They are doing the jobs I don't want to do. It is a necessary - lesser - evil to keep the mat-rix (matriarchy) running. Taking people prematurely out if it is cruel and will create widespread chaos and evil. The equivalent would to take a baby too early out of the womb because why stay in the womb for 9 months? That is so conformist. Or destroying your own spine to not be conformist. So in a sense it is a lesser evil sometimes.

Conformity versus non-conformity is not a boolean value. It is not, you either conformist or you are not, it is more a knob. For example we all speak the same language. Imagine the chaos if everybody spoke different languages here. I speak multiple languages but I decide to speak English to con-form but within that language I can be non-conformist and have my own style of using the language.

People don't realize how much they conform to a certain way of thinking and speaking by the language. Speaking multiple languages makes you easier to detach from the ingrained and embedded myths and archetypes aka the collective unconscious (soul) of that particular language. For example even if you are not Christian, those Christian myths can be  ingrained in your mind/brain just by you speaking that European language. It is insane.

@Leo Gura i passed in the blog and saw that the Virtual Oligarch post was still there and i thought: Fuck man where is Leo? Than I came here to ask you where are you? Why you abandon the blog, than ..new video and than you dressed as Wally. Now I dont know if i can watch cause I cant stop laughing. 

[LoneWonderer]

Just completed listening the episode in one go it was awesome! I laughed so hard when I saw you in the outfit you look like a completely different person! Thank you for your work! 😊

Welcome to the construct

Just by watching the first hour of the video I grasped how conformist my mind is. And how, there actually is no difference between my conformity and a religious person’s except for contents. It made me partly realize the openness of mind I could achieve if I free myself from all this conformity. 

Leo’s videos are the most powerful permission slips for me to have insights. When he says something and tells me to consider something, I always give myself permission to fully step outside of my own bias and truly see if what he says is true. Leading to many insights.

With conformity it took more time now. Several times when he said it before, I didn’t get it. Now I did. 

It’s fascinating. Now I think, why didn’t he just say this is what he means. But, of course, I realize he did actually say it, my mind was just too closed up.
