Is there a book that pushed you over the edge and made you realize you are awake to an unsettling reality?

If there is one for me, it is definitely Julian Jayne's "The origins of consciousness and the breakdown of the bicameral mind"

To this day, I still get fucking bitchslapped like a punk when I read it. Concepts waaaay over my head. What are we? What helped you understand shit on another level?

Is it agenda, if she says that proles are all-consuming animals; that people are by nature not equal; that our political sphere was brought to the lowest-common denominator by allowing proles to participate (without first training them to become human); and that people nowadays serve the machines instead of the other way around?

kek, so many normies got filtered hard on this one. Positive disintegration is needed for spiritual trascendence and thus "self actualization". For most people, aquiring belonging and satisfying esteem needs is self-actualization. Constructing your own moral hierachy outside of what is established is true self-actualization, therein the word "self", and no normie goes there because they accept conformity as a premise for social inclusion and thus lose any ability to trascend its moral system by effectively rendering the self into "us"

Freedom from the Known my Krishnamurti, its an extremely simple book that blew my 17 year old consumerist brain-fried. I think the most beautiful thing is taught me was how to identify pleasure (as opposed to joy). Im now 19 and still use the guidelines presented in that book in my daily life.

God this pyramid is peak modernism stupidity. This absurd belief that you can discretely separate spiritual aspects, that there is a hierarchy of needs that build on top of each other, that if only we fulfill the bottom segments the top segments will follow, that pain and paucity are just obstacles to overcome to reach spiritual fulfillment.

I'm sorry for midwits who grew up with this diseased framework and never got to escape the modern thinking framework. You should start with the Greeks.
