      25/ Followup to 24 - prayer is a real, momentous mental/social technology. It maybe played a major role in upholding civilization for centuries? Not totally sure about this, bc history is complicated - but I could see it being this important.https://twitter.com/michaelcurzi/status/1195060826605883392 …

      To try to comment on a very hard topic: The mind is *very* deep and powerful. The part you're familiar with - 'you' - is the surface; the rest is the AGI, the wellspring, Emerson's Over-Soul. Prayer can tap this deep power. This properly summons connotations of the divine. https://twitter.com/hmmmcurious/status/1194954328181805056 …

      26/ A variety of major trends are trying to drive people away from each other (atomization). Part of the task of a conscious life is to directly oppose this trend.

      27/ Similar trends are also working on destroying personal power and agency. The technocracy wants you to be 'fine', but it doesn't want you to be strong.https://twitter.com/michaelcurzi/status/1203467812238266369 …

      Michael Curzi added,

      4/ A different angle is just that as a society we're *generally* trending towards less (tolerance of) personal power. You see this in our inflated technocratic bureaucracy, the surveillance state, addiction to entertainment/electronics, perhaps attacks on masculinity...

      28/ Major personal change can occur in an instant - if you're ready to change. It's certainly okay to 'work up to' changing, and I do this a lot myself - marginal improvements add up. But sometimes you don't need to inch forward, and can change 'in the space of one breath'.

      29/ If you can come to understand, in great detail, the ways in which the Great People of the past were a) quasi-divine & supernatural, but also b) utterly normal, human, and mundane - this can do a great deal to clarify a path to skill and achievement.

      30/ Planning (clarifying steps towards a future goal) is outrageously powerful & technically easy, but we mysteriously forget to do it. A big reason is that planning shows you unhandled parts of your life. We try to dodge this test, rather than pass it.https://twitter.com/michaelcurzi/status/1205196898505609216 …

      31/ Planning (& introspection) can be part of the spiritual path because a bunch of this 'living well' stuff comes from getting your *attention* in the right place. You want to be able to gaze over yourself, your life, the world, people - & foresee the achievement of your aims.

      32/ Every ideology, no matter how perverse, has *something* to offer. To presume otherwise is the height of arrogance, the rejection of wisdom. The world looks different from different angles - and yeah, looking from some of those angles is going to be triggering as hell. Breathe

      33/ Jesus and Socrates maybe got themselves killed on purpose, to teach us. Believe what you want about religion - it's still interesting, and instructive, to think of these people as people - 'regular', living humans with conscious plans and a love of what's good.

      34/ Religious art provides phenomenological instruction to the seeker. E.g. the ‘sacred heart’ evokes [physical] pain, suffering, hope, love, transcendence, holiness, ‘agony’ e.g. Jesus’ Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. Now, padawan: find this feeling in your heart.pic.twitter.com/RFdSG5g7vl
