We all have core beliefs, unless we don't. Here are mine



1. Everybody is “conditioned”. It is your responsibility to work your way from a conditioned to a thoughtful and genuinely reflective state.

2. Both women and men have emotions and intellect. It’s a biological fact, so you can’t go dividing it up and making out that one group has the emotions and the other group has intellect.

3. Humans have the neurological capacity to experience mystical states. Your sense of the sacred is demeaned if you try to make it mine as well.

4. Morality and politics are worlds apart. Aim for a sustainable life and don’t get caught up by either of these principles. They’re the left and the right of delusion, respectively.

5. I’m not responsible for your feelings. It’s not my job to cooperate with you (generic you) in order to prove my sincerity, value, political credibility, anything.

6. If you do anything in order to feel “powerful”, you have already lost. Don’t succumb to delusion. Be pragmatic.
