Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights — Page 2

Imagine a reality in which nothing exists but the color blue. A reality made of only Absolute Blue. Infinite Blue in all directions, forever. Eternal Blue. Now, you’d think that even if there could be such a reality — too bad — since no one would be around to see it. But you’d be wrong.

Get this: Blue sees itself.

What?? That's impossible!

It's possible because Blue is true, and Truth is self-luminous. Blue is conscious simply because it exists, and existence is Absolute Truth. No brain is needed to be conscious. No eyes are needed to see. Only Truth is needed. Blue is conscious because it is true. This is how deeply humans misunderstand what Consciousness is. You are not conscious because you have a brain, you are conscious because you are Truth. Consciousness is Truth. You perceive things because you are Truth and truths arise in You. You are not a brain nor a body, you are Truth. Therefore, anything true is visible to you.

If you are needed to see a tree for the tree to be visible, then who is needed to see you? A brain? No! Since who sees the brain? The thing that sees cannot be biological nor even material. It's Truth! Truth sees everything: the tree, you, your brain. But who sees Truth? That's the beauty of it — No one! Truth sees itself. But how is it possible for Truth to see itself? That the beauty of existence: Truth is magic! Truth is so powerful it's the only thing that can see itself. Truth is so brilliant it literally shines, and in so doing illuminates all things. That's the irreducible mystery. Truth is actual ontological Mystery. Mystery is not a mistake nor a lack of epistemic certainty. Mystery is the necessary logical consequence of Infinity! Infinity is Absolutely Unknowable.

Such is the power of Truth.

The difference between me and a scientist or a philosopher or some New Ager or some nondual meditator is that I understand that Blue is conscious of itself, and they don't. This is the consequence of understanding Truth, which is the consequence of real truth-seeking and not some ancillary pursuit like transcending suffering, realizing no-self, or accessing some Buddhist jhana. Awakening is the realization of Absolute Truth. If it's merely phenomenological and not ontological then it doesn't deserve to be called Awakening.

Now, imagine a reality that's Absolute Green. Another that's Absolute Red. Another that's Absolute Yellow... Absolute Silk. Absolute Hairy. Absolute Slime. Absolute Parmesan Cheese. Absolute Whipped Cream. Absolute Skunk Stink. Absolute Lemon Juice. Absolute Pine Nuts. Absolute Diamond. Absolute Lava. Absolute Pixie Dust. Absolute Goblin Juice. Keep imagining more absolute realities forever. Now imagine that God can sample from any of these realities to weave together your present experience. That gives you a taste of what I mean by Infinity/God.

Such is the ultimate nature of Reality. Known to but a handful of people on this planet. This is the understanding you get when you take truth-seeking seriously and don't dick around with human nonsense.

The YouTube interface has become so corrupt it's nearly unusable these days. The homepage is corrupt, the search results are corrupt — padded with mindless junk you never asked to see. It's no longer even possible to do a proper search, YouTube gives you 4 search results and then floods the rest with recommended junk to maximize their profits. It's disgusting.

Luckily I found a great solution that fixes most of those issues. It's called CustomTube. This extension for FireFox and Chrome lets you customize your YT layout and remove all the junk like Shorts. It also lets you reduce the oversized default thumbnail sizes. It even fixes the crap search results. And more. It's highly customizable.

This extension is a must to uncorrupt YouTube:

CustomTube for Firefox (Alternative: YouTube Redux)

CustomTube for Chrome (Alternatives: YouTube Redux or StarTube)

It saddens me how much YouTube has been corrupted over the last few years. And it keeps getting worse. Each year YouTube prioritizes serving up slop rather than good user experience. This is ruining the noosphere.

;)

A lesson in mastery:

Imagine that you learn to use your Mind like he uses his feet. Wouldn't that be a thing of beauty?

Another really good one:

One of the most disgusting aspects of society is how elite academia gets in bed with corporatism, Wall Street, and government corruption. The top universities in America are factories for taking the brightest young minds and molding them into corrupt toxic stage Orange grifters who reinforce the exploitation of the lower and middle classes. It's a diabolical pipeline. These young minds are indoctrinated so early in their development that they become incapable of thinking outside this corrupt system. It is a hijacking of consciousness and intelligence to serve corruption. This is the corruption of intelligence.

See, elite university does not teach these children (and they are children) how to live virtuously or consciously. It does not teach high moral, cognitive, nor spiritual development. Yet these are the next generation of corporate and government leaders. These people are groomed to rule the world without an ounce of understanding of real philosophy: which is the study of wisdom, Goodness, God, Truth, Love, Intelligence, and virtue.

It's like the Devil created the perfect pipeline to co-opt the brightest minds of every generation to be his loyal servants. How ingenious!

Right-wingers love to complain about how universities have been corrupted by wokeness. But the real corruption is not wokeness, it's the stage Orange Ivy League sociopath pipeline. Wokeness is fake power. Real power is the guys and gals who graduate from Harvard and put their corrupted intelligence to work on running Facebook, Wall Street, hedge funds, Fortune 500 companies, McKinsey, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Goldman Sachs, Silicon Valley, insurance, healthcare, and the top legal and lobbyist firms. What runs the world is greed and power, not wokeness. Wokeness is just a silly distraction.

Do you see how the right wing constantly invents distractions from looking at the real corruption? That's the entire point of right-wing ideology! It's an elaborate self-deception mechanism to distract from confronting the staggering corruption of mankind — the real corruption within the economy, within business, within religion, within healthcare, within law, within military, within police, within education. This is the genius of Maya.

Is it coincidence that there is no serious philosophy, spirituality, nor mysticism found in elite academia? Or is this just as the Devil needs it?

Serious philosophy and spirituality — i.e., serious truth-seeking — cannot exist within elite academia because it would see and call out all of its corruption. The function of elite academia is not truth-seeking, it is to serve and benefit from civilizational power. Which is why Palestinian protestors on college campuses are ultimately squashed like bugs. Civilization will crush you like a cockroach! It doesn't care about truth. If you think you're going to find truth in a university, you're really naive. You underestimate how serious truth is. Truth is incompatible with human community. How dare you assume it would be? How dare you assume that mankind is pure enough to hold truth. Truth is a divine object — and mankind is just a swarm of rats.

Note: Don't take my rat talk too seriously. I'm being tongue-in-check. I write in a certain style for dramatic effect. I sprinkle a bit of bombast in my words so that it challenges your complacent mind. Plus, it's more fun for me to write, and hopefully for you to read. If you read my words as purely literal and scientific, you're going to get it wrong. I think, write, and speak poetically — how an advanced mind ought to. I don't limit my mind to literal scientific truth, as that would lower my intelligence. Nor do I limit my mind to a single perspective. I can speak of man as rat and I can speak of man as God and I can speak of rat as God. It's all true from a certain point of view. That's the Beauty of Mind. My work is not just a description of the world, it aspires to be artistry of Mind. Like playing piano with your toes.

This woman dated men from the manosphere for a whole year for a magazine story.

How can you tell that the manosphere is a low perspective? Because it is so cartoonishly self-absorbed. Men who subscribe to far right ideology are traumatized and miserable. Notice the connection between extreme self-absorption, bias, and bad epistemology. When you're that biased, you literally cannot see reality straight. Which tells you that bias is the prime issue of good epistemology. You can boil down epistemology to systematic identification and elimination of all biases in your mind, until your mind goes infinite.

God is an infinitely unbiased Mind.

Love is the total absence of bias.

Which is why God is Love. And why the right-wing is hateful.

If your mind is biased, you literally can't love reality, and you can't even love yourself, since Self = Reality.

Eventually you will realize that being biased in any way is stupid because it limits your access to Love. Which is why God is Intelligence.

Love is Intelligence.

Which is why right-wing hate is stupid.

Fighting, hating, dominating is stupidity. Isn't that obvious?

This is what corruption looks like:

Contemplate the misery that 3rd world workers live in.

These are the ignored externalities of capitalism.

Capitalism is corrupt because it ignores its own externalities. The ignoring of externalities is baked into corporate culture. Which is why all corporate people are corrupt. Their corruption is so flagrant, so ugly, that they can't even admit it to themselves because of how disgusted they would feel.

See, for a billionaire to realize God would require seeing all the externalities of his business. Which is why a billionaire will never realize God. A billionaire is one who has chosen the godless way of life.

God does not judge corruption. But don't kid yourself, God sees all corruption as corruption. Just because God doesn't judge you doesn't mean God is fooled by your bullshit.

The burden of Awakening is that you will see corruption everywhere. Everything humans do is poisoned with unconsciousness and selfishness. Understanding mankind's corruption is a profound emotional burden. At some point you will see the corruption so deeply you will doubt that love exists. How can such ugliness exist? What God would allow it? Be careful not to blackpill yourself.
