Re : "They come with a transpersonal motivation or not" (paraphrased): As a classroom teacher of late primary children, I experienced children did have a quality of transpersonal concern; spontaneous motivation to justice/compassion. I believe cultural/life pressures "train" them to abandon this to various individual degrees as they explore "making their way" in the "real" world. I wish we were aware of ourselves contributing to this.

this video somewhat disturbs me but i like the idea that i need to just keep being aligned with what is true for me right now, rather than having the fear of losing what i feel aligned with now. if the time comes where i align somewhere else then i think it will happen gracefully, and if not then great. i'm guessing what i feel aligned with now is going to somehow merge with a greater cosmic perspective...something i like to call Cosmic Rock music.

@aLOVINGinfidel It can be, but what makes what you said more true than his.

@avitardotnet It's not about realizing this; it's about what you will do once you realize it. This man has not only realized these things, but is also helping those who haven't yet realized come to realization.

Unless we know the "hidden" thing he is speaking of there is no point in us listening. So why does he speak? Still I feel love for him and thats the best we can be in any encounter

@aLOVINGinfidel When the white people met the red Indians they were meant to learn about "soul" They like you were soul negaters and look at the line that led us. We are not high primates we dont even have any proof abiogeneisis, So you are one of the evil fools who are responsible for this mess, a product of no "soul" like tribal peoples did and further neagting "God" by believing in a souless process of random mutation. Your kind hear a symphony and call it variations in wave pressure"

[aLOVINGinfidel]

A spiritual teacher?

We are high primates. There is no spirit. The speaker is just citing common sense, that is until he starts talking about a higher power. At this point he cross's over into childishness.
