Should a spiritual awakening make you more careful? Or more confident?

[harmala_afficianado]

I know being too careful is bad, but also being too confident is bad, what/how do ya'll think is the best balance between the two?

This is an opinion/sentiment/narative that you try to push down people's throats. - No thanks, thank you very much.

What I understood “woke” to mean, or at least what I came to associate with the term, was an undercurrent of people who try to act as social justice warriors. Maybe that isn’t entirely accurate, but I associated it with a newer generation Gen Z, or whatever they’re called who seem particularly invested in cancel culture and in viewing almost everything as potentially offensive.

And this is you're opinion, not one I can keep.

It gets used as a derogatory term when its the exact opposite. It took me a while to understand its use if I'm honest, I'm very happy with what I settled on.

Original meanings are generally bastardized and smeared over time. Woke has varying meanings now. It's not a monolithic term.

Good for you

How much did your intelligence drop after listening to it?

At least half of it is permanently gone

I couldn't watch more than 25 seconds

I've watched it enough times to notice that she is "blessed"

A western lay person telling me I'm woke is different than Ayahuascero telling me I'm woke, is different from a wandering Sadhu telling me I'm woke, is different from my therapist telling me I'm woke.

And no, I'm not claiming to be woke

One love

Alot of people somehow see misery as a blessing

@northape i meant the lady, not you, please don't misunderstand again

Most of the time I see the term used to self identify these days, it’s fairly cringe worthy. If it means “awake”, it’s not being used correctly. Rather, it’s some kind of posturing and people will eventually move on to whatever else and capture some other word.

The word is so simple i don't get why we like to complicate it, the truth is, most people nowadays hide from themselves and have no idea who they are, when someone stops running away from himself and recognizes who he really is, that's when the term "spiritual awakening" comes up.

Hmm, she literally has "blessed" written on her tummy

Your posts are golden. The only thing is, you should apply this wisdom to yourself first

You should probably find a new ayahuascero, sadhu, and therapist.

Or pay them extra if they all converged on this diagnosis independently.

Also spiritual crisis.

In western society it might mean you get to become a bum and live under the local overpass.

In some other cultures it might mean you get to become a wandering monk, or a sadhu…

Oh I didn’t mean to post that vid again sorry lol

Which one of them do you think has the more logical view?

When you mix DMT with Woke...

Before it got overused and weaponized, I’m pretty sure the term “woke” was unrelated to new-age spiritual posturing, but a term connoting an awareness of/concern for systemic injustice, which is pretty much the opposite of the self-absorbed grandiosity seen in that video…

Also, not gonna lie, when you mute the volume and ignore the captions, it’s actually not that bad
