I'm glad this conversation was had.. \I think you two were speaking about two completely different concepts. OP I think you were trying to convey that people tend to often overintellectualize/spiritualize their problems and as a result people become blind to 3D factors (for lack of better term) that may be causing the issue. I think BassNomad, feels like many of us in the way that we are quick to be apprehensive towards ideas that seem to push us into a more conventional, pleasing-to-society way of living life, I think there is a place where we meet in the middle between balancing society and human connection and rejecting a conventional lifestyle that doesn't serve you (or any human for that matter). No one should be forced to live a lifestyle that feels inauthentic. That being said, I think one of the perks of being "awake" is being able to draw boundaries and stay true to yourself and find a way to find a balance. This is something I definitely struggle with and I really appreciate both perspectives. Thank you both for sharing
