—“Family is enemy number one of the State”—Tomás Rodriguez Villegas
People forget that the reason women have property rights was so that the church could break up the aristocratic families so that the church (state) could acquire their lands.
By the French revolution, half of the land in europe was dead capital.

(It’s just self inducing endorphins – and another form of drug use as escapism. That doesn’t mean the religious “Spiritual” is not a psychological need to relieve the stress of ongoing computation with fragmentary knowledge. ) Yeah, but what if that experience is in fact what you want to consume? And what if consuming that experience both does no harm (directly or indirectly), creates no risk (directly or indirectly) and does you good? Or conversely, what if that is ‘the best that many can hope for’, because the rational requires more agency than they possess? So I think these people fall into camps: 1 – Pedagogical utility of intuitionistic expressions. (good) 2 – Political and Social Necessity: Mindfulness (good) 3 – Cognitive Therapy. (good) 4 – Action Avoidance (bad) 5 – Escapism (bad) Some of us are judges, and most of us need mindfulness, but some of us need to be therapists and some of us need therapy. I don’t necessarily like the ‘Transcendent’ because as far as I know that’s just searching for a manual means of producing endorphins that compensate for weaknesses of social, sexual, economic, and political market value. Just as alcohol and drugs are artificial means of self medication. And just as you see all forms of drug users excusing their dependencies, you see the ‘transcendent’ justifying their dependencies. Hence why I advocate stoicism because it is self improvement not self medication.

by Neil A. Bucklew The Transcendent? Of course the idea boils down to unclear definitions and murky grammar. and none of us have the time to sort them all out. the transcendent cannot be consumed by definition, but there are plenty of illusions that trigger a neurochemical reaction that is expressed as a transcendent emotion. if the experience is what you want to consume, how is it transcendent? so mindfulness and fasting are more transcendent than illusory gods, who are symbolic guides at best, and ludicrous distractions as worst. What is generally called the transcendent is as you describe, an emotional quest of sorts for some idea that triggers a neurochemical reaction. this is incorrectly named as transcendent and should have a different term. i am of the opinion that this need and behavior is related to atomizing individuality, and the loss of tribal/community connection. our “gods” were our connection to our tribe, throughout time. But there is also a “real’ transcendent. there are real limits and boundaries. identifying and exceeding them could be called transcendent. Self improvement as well as community improvement is simply work done to improve the market value of the individual or community. but it requires identifying and potentially exceeding limitations, opening the path of Caesar, Aristotle, Odin, Zeus, and Tesla to those who dare. Tesla is an example we can look at because he is recent and well documented. There is no silliness involved. He had to eat and sleep just like everyone else, yet he achieved some sort of what i would tentatively call “real transcendent”.

The organization is a 501 3c and has a religious affiliation, but that is a requirement in our area to have this level of educational autonomy and it is not a hard push component. Whether you are into religion or not, is is a small cost for access to this.much value.
Finding retired experts is pretty easy. Hell its not hard to find old couples who both have Phds and would love to teach 2-4 hours a week.
(Curt: I’m thinking how much good I could do teaching either ethics or basic economics two hours a week…)
