I'm aware of quite a few as well and many from the person themselves. Not everyone finds it as terrible as you did, and for many even if terrible, it passes quickly.

Yep, I'm talking about social conditioning specifically. The more I remove it and expose the deeper biological / evolutionary conditioning, the happier I seem to become. Millions of years of wisdom built into that.

Agree that suffering decreases when you remove social conditioning, though you also get increasingly more lonely as you realize that everyone around you is fucking crazy.

this is a really big part of the "waking down is hard" thing.

Yeah, it's easy to turn it into some kind of superiority complex, but it's not about being better than anyone -- it's about suffering less than most people, and seeing just how terrible people are at addressing their suffering but not being able to do anything about it.

hmmm, wasn't thinking superiority complex though I guess you're right, spiritual pride is a problem for some people. was thinking more that you need to wake down and reintegrate because you still have your mundane life to deal with (unless you retreat to a monastery forever).

Epigenetics!

my tai chi sifu has conscious control over normally uncontrollable stuff that is almost impossible to believe: including conscious control over fear. He can allow it, disallow it, and reverse it.

Anyone who doubts the degree of weird stuff that is possible should just go look at the research on
@Iceman_Hof. Even more interesting to me that he seems to stress the importance of belief, alongside certain psycho-physical techniques. -
The human biocomputer is programmable. Lots of things you can do with it.
