I'm sorry you equated me saying we want to help our partner feel better with 'stop whining'.

My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as "I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day".

And for more what you seem to be after, you can't go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They're some guided meditations with a fancy audio technique that helps your brain tune to the desired mental frequency. This is a good place to start: r/gatewaytapes/wiki/start but I wouldn't recommend browsing the subreddit unless you want your experience to be influenced by the sub's communal lore.

If you'd like I can send you a link to a drive folder with the files if you don't want to pay.

I think it's because we feel that we can find the solution to the problem, it will stop the pain that our partner is feeling at the situation.

As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won't even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.

Humans aren't selfish, greedy, parasites. We just get brainwashed into being that way by our culture

I haven't read those books, so I don't have an opinion on them. You haven't read The Fourth Turning, so maybe you shouldn't be so set on your opinion of the book.

I agree. I think they do pop up every now and then, always for a cultural event. For example, I draw the line between Millennial and Gen Z at remembering 9/11.

Do you often get your personal beliefs from garbage op-eds?

If you would like to learn about generational cohorts from a higher quality source, I recommend The Fourth Turning, a rather prophetic book on generations.

Millennials will become the largest voting bloc, and Gen Z tends to follow their lead. I predict the next decade is going to see some massive changes in governments.
