Intead of saying the ego is bad and the light is good,
let’s talk about transcending good and bad.
It took a long time to build a self;
now you must transcend what you’ve made.
You must update your inner parts.
Transpersonal is that which is beyond the self.
When the self is reasonably complete,
it’s time to master what is beyond the personal.
You realize that the univese is infinite.
It’s transpersonal.
Imagine living inside of a motionless bubble.
You need to exit that bubble in order to reach
a different, distant bubble.
Each bubble is a self.
Each individual that works beyond a single self,
is transperonal.
Eventually the self reaches so far,
to so many, that it becomes like an infinite force.
The bubbles of existence can become
very many. It forms into deities eventually,
sometimes. Most deities are transpersonal,
and old. With enough time, that which was
small, can become great.
Sometimes all that we need is safety.
Safety is a very important thing for
developing beings. One guy in the forest
wont last long. But when there is a lot
of people working togehter, things can
reach a higher level of this or of that.
Our existence is a lot like a layered sphere.
But it can reach beyond itself, more and more.
Relocate the ego, don’t destroy it.
Religion is wobbling to a thought.
It is actually what stands at the threshold of the duality of causality in Spinoza that Promethean just talked about. It is neither thought nor thing, but it is a thought that substitutes for a thing and a thing that substitutes for a thought.
Yes, participation demands are low, in general, these days. If you start a new religion, it probably pays to up the ante, demand some committement. You want to have effects on the people, so they must be engaged a lot. And you want passionate proselytizers, iow people who will be engaged a lot. Opening a new kind of church, saying, see you on Sunday from 10-12 and that’s it, is probably not going to catch on. Down the road you can include the weekend religious.
I think the cult - leader should be a voted threesome, every (Jupiter-) year all ILPers who subscribe to the religion vote new leaders. Then in a great feast we consecrate these leaders and drink some beer and kick some ass. Then we can just go home and be proud of ourselves.
Not a good cult leader post. A cult leader would tell us who the three people are, you being one of them in this example, and then enticing with proclamations, consciousness tools, earth changes lists…some juicy charismatic stuff.
There could be a daily session, if people want it.
Teach and learn. We each get up to 30 minutes to
explain an idea or a teaching, then we share it and talk in a circle.
This kind of activity will be based in votes.
It could be philosophical, or theological, or spiritual. Something practical.
We can even share videos we found online as a group.
There would be a lot of potential.
Id Probably want more learning and teaching than 30 minutes haha. That’s a good idea though. Community functions through diversity are necessary to grow and not remain or be biased.
Andrew and Dad’s version of independence+privacy rejects my idea of a camp set up.
I will not throw away one of my most hopeful ideas.
It saddens me to see them not realizing a great opportunity.
Dad lets Paige live with Andrew on uncle’s house for free.
But he would not offer me a free home also.
This is unfair. Someone is possibly insane.
All of that land, and home space, not being used or rented out.
