Education Reform

 

I believe the field of Education could use some reform. 

A lot of things taught in high school aren’t exactly useful.

Spiritual Work

 In the main books of Dr. David Hawkins, he talks a lot about doing spiritual work. 

Spiritual work involves surrendering aspects of the ego in order to raise your level of consciousness. Eventually after enough lifetimes/incarnations a person becomes enlightened. This has been discussed by numerous others, such as Osho. 

The ego is a part of life but at times can very much hold one back from fully stepping into the role of their Higher Self. Overcoming one’s ego can involves things such as surrendering positionalities, overcoming ego mechanisms, merging dualities, or working on inner conflict. 

Thoughts on Glamor and Rebellion

 

Glamor associated with famous "rockstar" musicians...is kinda stupid.

Also, rebellion against something just for the sake of rebellion is dumb.

Rebellion against something is stupid unless you have a good reason to do so.

The Alternative Health field

 

In the Alternative Health field people buy certain products and foods. These foods are supposedly healthier and better for you. Organic foods, non-GMOs, etc.

My question is how much truth is there to that ideology.

If a person is healthy enough will that be enough to be able to ward off certain diseases? That’s what some raw foodists claim. I think the healthiness and benefits of a raw food diet or mostly raw food diet is open to debate however.

It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the alternative health field and what is bunk and what isn't. It's something I'm still trying to figure out.

Blind Spots

 

It's hard for people to see their own blind spots.

Hmm...this really brings us to the art of trying to understand the differences between the objective and subjective worlds to some extent. How much of the world is objective and how much is subjective?

Are most/many of my problems in life projections of myself?

The Last Psychiatrist in his blog was talking about narcissism and the solution to it he said was to fake it.

The thing with blind spots however is that everything gets turned inward so that pretty much anything someone else says is going to just be turned back in on itself, to where you can't see your own blocks. You cant see your own blind spots. 

Again, I think ignorance is very common in many people. And the Dunning Kruger effect is definitely a real thing.
