      THE experience that can unravel this isn't a sudden magical coalescing insight that ascends you into the light. It's the much more mundane "I'm not in control" feeling that can be achieved just by examining how breath works. (breath is conscious & subconscious)

      The more the 'magic' of a metaphor can be parsed, the more concrete the action that results. "Leveling up" ironically is about *reducing* the amount of magic in the world b/c you can do more stuff yourself rather than watch in awe as other people do it.

      If you needed a GPS to locate you in the desert to save your life and a magical genie appears and offers to sell you one for 100K dollars, would you be grateful or angry? In a free market, the opportunity to buy is priced into the good!

      Now everyone can work hard and be successful as a creative artist expressing the Fundamental Truth of Life. Just like Avicii! You have *no idea* how happy the big music labels and tech companies are to have so much fresh blood.

       🐈 @a_yawning_cat
      In a narcissistic interaction, one is always trying to "eat" the other. Failure to do so creates tension and stress fractures in the model of godhood. If a narcissist can control or change you, you will be loved the same way God loves all of creation. If not, you will be hated.

       🐈 added,

       🐈 @a_yawning_cat
      the reason innovation is so important to the market is because money is intrinsically destructive. It boomerangs outwards, changes more of the world into money, and comes back with a Reasonable Rate of Return.

      This model leads to some interesting new ways of looking at world. One is that imperfect guru's can be understood. Alan Watts as an alcoholic, spiritual pride, spiritual fakeness, etc... "Cope" no longer has negative valence because Life as Cope is THE super cope of all copes.

      There are two ways to grasp Self lightly as one lightly grasps a baby bird in mouth. (to save it! not eat it) One is through the visceral feeling of self as story. (Not merely intellectual parsing and interpretation) https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1340038265584250881 …

      Here's how belief in God creates humility and why prayer can create miracles: When you pray to an omniscient all-powerful God to whom all of his creation is Good you must first convince the God that there IS a problem.

       🐈 @a_yawning_cat
      Incidentally, this is how science and religion work together. Science stretches the boundaries of the known which increases the size of "God". The sense of "God" first starts off within the family, say w/ the "Strict Father", then becomes sth like Zeus, Monotheism, etc... https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1342732738973986818 …

          Since the fungal networks that make-up the Wood Wide Web have only recently become public knowledge I feel I must explain the phenomenon of toxoplasma gondii and felis catus as they operate via a similar mechanism. https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1343313049516531712 …

          Example of Faith -> Secrets Even the best portfolio strategies can lose a significant chunk of their value when backtested over time. Even when they have the potential to turns thousands to millions over time.

          Here's an alternative interpretation of Original Sin for those who dislike the common reading. The main drawbacks to Original Sin as interpreted by Abrahamic religions are: 1/ It controls by generating guilt/shame/fear 2/ Requires a wrathful God 3/ Which makes "God" masculine
