Reconciling modern science with ancient esoteric worldviews by holding subjective experience and objective facts without either-or thinking
TRANSCRIPT
I have what modern science tells me, and I have my experience, which is also informed much more by – it's more supported by the ancient worldview. and I hold these two things side by side and I leave them to have their own domains of authority in my life, but I allow them to communicate with each other.

It’s hard to design the perfect onboarding. but it’s easy to check: “Did the user reach ‘Aha!’ in 3 steps instead of 7?” or “Did 80% of users complete the flow?”
So the industry (and people) naturally get pulled into automated loops. this is why mid-training is powerful and dangerous. it can manufacture the appearance of discernment while dodging deeper unmeasurable criteria.
“They have learned to produce the appearance of discernment without ever developing the faculty itself.”
His authority is not intelligence but fidelity, the willingness to remain faithful to something that arrived without justification and refuses to submit to it. This is the thing no training regime can teach. Not taste, not speed, not range, not even the ability to reason, but the capacity to be remade by something unexplainable, and to let that... See more
