This is so fucking incredible. “Some of the metabolic reactions were catalyzed…by simple metallic chemical elements found in the hydrothermal vents’ minerals. LUCA, they say, was part organic, part rock. The idea ‘changes the way we view the early evolution process.’”

Dark Arisen, a beautiful post. Read like a great horror movie, including aesthetic pleasure. The core of whatever we are doing on the planet needs to change. Gradually - Gradually - needs to change. And its changing, at the periphery. Some of it towards catastrope, some of it towards truth

It's deeply human to meet spirituality from a place of pain, like the pain we are in now. See for example AAs first step, surrendering to a higher power. Who amongst us isn't an addict? We can use these rock bottom moments in human history to connect and grow stronger through loving spirituality

My view is that the only structural remedy to the horrible politics governing humanity is by a return to grounded, complex, humble spirituality. Totalitarian forces are cynically leveraging spirituality, while more positive politicians frankly act as if they are above this nonsense of spirit (1/2)

You start with crafts. You discover the consciousness connections, and ask: well what does this mean in my life, beyond a curiosity. Potentially you find a spiritual system, maybe a mix of personal practices and a lineage, that works for you. Seems possible that funnel is part of the "goal" of UFOs

Thanks for this. For me its not necessarily about optimism, certainly not around the current systems. It's a subtle shift, but seems to me mainstream people are becoming more frustrated, less protective of the dysfunctional system and its masters. More people are willing to feel more of the pain

Maybe people will slowly become bored with evil? Psychopathology can be sexy, alluring. But the more we see of it, it may become a commodity. Less attractive, more predictable, even boring. In that scenario goodness, that rare earth mineral, becomes exotic, sought after

Pleasure is foundational to Kabbalah. It's the first Sefira. Choice of life over death basically, something over nothing. A lot of modern spirituality seems to miss that, using "nothingness" as a codename for the death drive, the wish to not exist. Also sometimes described as "ascending"

The equivalent to Epstein today would probably be into Kabbalah, because it works. Kabbalah can be used for evil. But good is stronger than evil, as simplistic as that sounds. The good triumph is dependent on confidence. Remembering its own importance & the pleasure it creates when it manifests

If you've known a particular type of powerful person this becomes clear. Some of them, and I'm not sure if this makes it better or worse, hate having to pretend to care about normy stuff, like ideology or the morality thing. They care about power and feel it gives them life, joy and even spirit
