And in my humble opinion, ideology is only going to get in \ryour way. Nobody understands what is happening. Not Buddhists, not Christians, \rnot government scientists. Not, you know, noone. Noone understands what is \rhappening. So forget ideology. They betray. They limit. They lead astray. Just \rdeal with the raw data and trust yourself. Nobody is smarter than you are. And \rwhat if they are. What good is their understanding doing you. The people who walk around saying "Well, I don't understand quantum physics but somewhere somebody understands it." That's not a very helpful attitude towards preserving the insights of \rquantum physics. Inform yourself. What does inform yourself mean? It means A) transcend and mistrust ideology. \r Go for direct experience. What do you think when you face the waterfall. What \rdo you think when you have sex. What do you think when you take psilocybin. Everything else is unconfirmable rumor. Useless. Probably lies. So. Liberate \ryourself from the illusion of culture. Take responsibility for what you think \rand what you do. Thanks to isubtitlethings for the CC (closed captions)
