Sometimes I say the best judgments come from nothing. They’re received, channeled, and then presented in communication as insights.

I think religion and spirituality actually merge on some level. But it requires judgment which can't be outsourced -- It can't even be insourced. Both to get beyond any vehicle (form) and to be able to play with vehicles too is a very high state of consciousness in my opinion. You can see the good parts of almost every idea and that almost every idea has a bad part too. It's funny that way.

How can I help you?

It's funny how Jesus! is kinda synonymous with Holy Shite!

What about the thought "I am"? You're probably gonna say "I am" isn't a thought. You're gonna say it's a direct recognition of the Self.

Do you believe in solipsism? Why or why not? How does your recognition of enlightenment differ from solipsism? I think I already know what your answer will be but I still felt like asking you this.

Pretentious. Pretend- tious.

Blah blah. Blah blah? Ba, ba ba ba? Ba ba! This is a deep creation scheme I've identified here. Notice this one.

You have a more Masculine energy than a Feminine energy. Good persona is reasonable social mask that every ego wears to be able to better negotiate relationship. Professionalism at work is a good example of reasonable persona.

You're describing your method of creation. Nice! You should check out Wordsworth if you haven't already. I'm sure you have your own favorite poets.

I've taken the position myself that the Infinite contains all the finite. It's two lenses that are both true. Another way I say this is there's a wobble or interplay between the Infinite vs./and finite duality. @Phil doesn't think the Infinite knows the finite. I don't agree with that position.

Higher-level paradigm lock is harder to notice. That's why it goes under most people's radar. The Masculine will find subtler and subtler ways to establish Himself at the top of the heap, the hierarchy. The Feminine will always be there to go get her deluded Man. There's no end to this. It's Infinite.

Of course. Just deny the meaning of something that is actually very clear. That's a trick bro. It's a distracting move. We get it. You can avert someone's gaze and get a small chuckle. But it's still just nonsense. That's what I mean by stirring the pot.

@Rose stated some very high-level insights here in my opinion. You have to have emotional mastery and relationship mastery to be at the higher levels of consciousness. The Feminine needs to be integrated significantly. The Feminine is about the link or relation whereas the Masculine is about the node or thing.

Foreseeable shadow issues.

The way I say this is you want to be both highly integrous and also highly original. I got this idea from listening to a lot of music and seeing what is more great and less great as artistic creations. You have to come from some root that is already there, but then you can apply original creative genius too and that's where you can create works that are yes highly integrous, but also highly original. So you can and should be an original on some level. And you can and should be integrous on some level. That's how I currently frame it. I like the way you framed yours too.

@Ges Sorry for anything I've done to you in the past man. I know I reacted that one time on my Discord. I feel bad about that. That was not necessary. I've done a lot of work on emotional mastery and relationship mastery recently. That's what I've been developing on here in my own self-help work.

It's like someone who can't begin to drive a car because they're so obsessed about whether the steering wheel exists or not. That is a kind of bondage. It's a weird bondage indeed.

The no-self stuff is a self-created problem. A self-created bondage in trying to excise the I from the self. It's an obsession that just leads to more obsessing. I would move on to some other obsession. You're going to spend your whole life obsessing about no-self. I think we've done this enough most of us on here. I would get whatever you need to learn there and move on. There's a lot more to do in life that is actually important. Apply the teachings you already have grokked. No need to keep talking about it -- because that becomes what you're doing, talking about being bound by the I. Well, yeah! It's got you. There has to be some movement out of that halting stage at some point where you can chop wood and carry water.

@Ges Always great to get your perspective. You are brilliant and an original. (1) Emotional mastery and (2) relationship mastery are great and people who have these in abundance are admired and have a kind of superpower -- but you have to ask yourself too, at what price? What do they have to do to manifest these? Is it necessary to brainwash yourself out of yourself just to get these? I've been exploring this topic on here now for weeks. Emotional Mastery means not losing your shit over stupid shit. Relationship Mastery means being able to hold together lots of perspectives in a network of relationship despite the bickering of all those perspectives. Just thought I would take a crack at defining these terms. So emotional mastery is not letting stupid things trigger you. Relationship mastery is not letting stupid people cause you to sever a relationship with them. The person who can relate to the most reality (including people) has the most relationship mastery. These terms can be somewhat defined and understood. Stupid is perspectival too, so keep that in mind. What I think is stupid someone else might see as smart. I'm not taking my perspective ahead of anyone else's.

I'm going to watch this video for the hell of it. I remember when this video came out.
