Now we understand why there has to be an inner reality which is made of qualia and an outer reality which is made a lot of symbols, shareable symbols, what we call matter.

Is it not, as FF points out, the universe itself - as expressed uniquely through all the MEs of the world, that knows? - Hence, the true nature of all authentic spiritual practices is that - the reality outside of us is intrinsically the same as - the reality within us - our lebenswelt of qualia

On a deeper level, it’s imagined duality which creates all manner of separateness
for - quote - imagined duality - unpack - imagined duality
quote - imagined duality - author - Nic Higham
- On a deeper level,
- it’s imagined duality which creates all manner of separateness
- from the kind I call “dualistic isolation,”
- the sense that you’re identified with and alone in your body and your mind,
- to “existential loneliness,”
- a persistent sense of incompleteness that no amount of social or material connection can resolve.
- from the kind I call “dualistic isolation,”
unpack - imagined duality and existential isolation - Alone in your body and mind - in my younger days, I had a metaphor for this - Life is a movie theatre for one, yourself - Only you have access to this movie theatre - Nobody else is there to experience the totality of your experiences, except you. - You are the sole inhabitan of your YOUniverse -

- a U.K.-based “heterodox” opinion website
- founded by a Brexit supporter,
- covered the movement in a piece titled
- “Twilight of the American Left.”
- a U.K.-based “heterodox” opinion website
- To the post-left,
- explained contributor Park MacDougald,
- the real U.S. ruling class is a Democratic oligarchy that uses
- the threat of creeping fascism and
- white nationalism
- to consolidate power, and deploys
- “‘identity politics,’ -‘antiracism,’
- ‘intersectionality’ and
- other pillars of the progressive culture war” as
- “mystifications whose function is to
- demoralize and
- divide the proletariat.”
- Leftists, in this view, merely serve as that regime’s “unwitting dupes.”
unpack - very interesting to unpack from a Deep Humanity perspective.
