Crypto PM. Salon over soapbox. Maybe a metarationalist or something. How do we improve large-scale human collaboration?

      You can have the realizations that there is no self, and everything you perceive in the world is entirely constructed in your mind. You can glimpse these things, and still choose not to jump. Worse yet, you can think you're awake just because you glimpsed them.

      Jumping means recognizing the constructedness of "you" and everything you hold close and dear. Then dropping all of those structures. And I mean all of them. It's terrifying. If The Edge or The Void sounds ominous to you, that's because it is.

      Everything is a construction. That includes the things we perceive as negative: Consumerism, selfishness, envy, greed, violence, revenge, oppressive hierarchies, traffic jams, office meetings, evil itself.

      It also includes the things we perceive as good: Morality, justice, bravery, fairness, love, trust, altruism, wanting to save the world, thinking that your cat loves you. All illusions, all mental constructs.

      But it doesn't end there. All spiritual beliefs are also constructs. Gods, souls, spirits, aliens, gurus, afterlife, reincarnation, heaven, Nirvana, bliss, eternal happiness, love and light, magic, kundalini, perfection, transcendence, etc. Sorry to rain on your divine parade

      Atheism is also a construction. So is science. So is any political or social system. None of them are inherently "true" or "real".

      So let's say you drop all of that. What's left? Pain. Suffering. Emptiness. Meaninglessness. Nihilism. Dissilusionment. "Everything is a lie". The bad news is that if you get to this part, it really really really sucks. The good news is, those are also constructs.

      And when all the constructs are dropped, you return to your de-programmed natural state. Not some elevated godliness of divine perfection. Just a sovereign human being.

      Oh, and none of those things magically disappear. The laws of physics still exist. So does cause and effect. So does death, which you also have to accept. And you still have to eat, and make a living, and do other mundane stuff.

      And after all of that, it doesn't really matter if you're awake or not. It doesn't make you a better human being, or a saint, or special. Those are just more constructs. So you just go and live your life. The end.

      Any recommendations for practice? Like systems/teachers etc? Obviously all crutches, but....if you wanted to do this, what would you immerse yourself in?

          I talk about the technique I used in this thread:https://twitter.com/euvieivanova/status/982978752081776640?s=19 …

          Euvie Ivanova added,

          Euvie Ivanova @euvieivanova
          Thread: I've been asked several times recently about the "dealing with difficult emotions" meditation I practice. So I thought I'd talk about the technique here. The first stages of this are simple, and anyone can do it. The latter stages are quite technical.

          I'd also recommend @OortCloudAtlas as a teacher, especially for later stages.
