I'm aware of this too. It's something I developed. It's academic brainrot. But I like my academic brainrot 🥲. Going from theory to conclusion is satisfying, and I believe I have collected a nice chunk that goes parallel to my experiential insights. It's just I like to express them in that realm (the theoretical), and I also think it serves a purpose.

Take somebody like Bernardo Kastrup and contrast him with Rupert Spira. They are friends, they talk to each other, but they come from completely opposite ends and yet have arrived at essentially the same conclusions. I've tried to do the same convergence inside myself; I was explicitly a fan of first Spira then Bernardo for a couple of years each. Because I had a problem I was trying to solve: saving my scientific/philosophical worldview from being devoured by my spiritual worldview. I wanted to make them consistent. So when I made them basically consistent, I started operating from the scientific view more, explaining things in the spiritual domain from that view, because I can.

And that can seem lofty and ungrounded, but know that it comes from a place of integrating the two perspectives, getting them to talk to each other, not just knowing one of them. I did not start from the top. And of course this scientific bias extends to all topics, not just pure "spiritual" topics.

Thanks for sharing your perspective and understanding, appreciated. I haven't heard of Bernardo Kastrup, I'll have to check him out one day.

Hilarious sure . Dude wtf is "We are vibrational beings " 😂.  Go tell that to a hungry homeless man in Somalia ..he will roast you and eat you for dinner .

 

That's cause We Are. There is nothing we can do about it. We are literally e n e r g y ~vibrating~ at various f r e q u e n c i e s.

And there would be no point to tell a hungry homeless man that unless he was receptive to make use of it, but first I'd still give him food. 

That's how you build a connection, give people what they need, not what you "think" they want.
