Hey, this is Leo, for Asralized.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to rant about how society fucks you in the ass

and how society exploits your lower self and distracts you from living

an authentic life. I've got some bad news and I've got some good news for you.

Let me begin with the bad news.

I think it's very important that you understand what society actually is. This Western culture that most of us are growing up

under, you got to start to understand what's really going on in Western mainstream culture.

Right now, we're in the era of modern capitalism.

If you're familiar with the Graves model of psychological stages, then this is Stage Orange.

What does this mean, Stage Orange?

It basically means that business is shaping society, culture, government, science, religion, and everything else.

There is no facet of society which is not touched very heavily by business.

And that's a problem. It's a problem because what business and marketing people are doing and they are

experts at this is they are architecting systems to trap your lower self.

This is what characterizes modern business.

Let me repeat, carefully, methodically architected and optimized systems to trap your lower self.

You get trapped into low consciousness patterns.

Why?

Because this is good for business.

And because you are so unconscious and you are so

willing to go towards the low consciousness stuff that this is where the best

business is. Very little business has had in high consciousness stuff.
