  1. Past hour
  2. This reads as a description of Israël supporters and genocide deniers
  4. I appreciate you saying that, Joseph. Leo’s emphasis on deep structural thinking and first-principles deconstruction definitely aligns with how my mind approaches reality. Enjoy the stream, curious to hear your takeaways once you finish it!
  5. "I have reached a new level of awakening"... Gura on many of his videos. It's not the same a mushroom trip and an LSD trip. I don't think I have experienced god's mind. Altough I have experienced oneness with my surroundings, I have never experienced my friend's mind in a trip.
  6. @LordFall You said you were an INTP. You remind me a lot of Leo. I guess he is an INTP too. Good talk. Watching now. @yetineti Nice guitar! You're a 5w4 and I'm a 4w5 tri-type 4-5-9 sx/so/sp.
  7. There isn't any levels. The self illusion is never satisfied, it will always feel like there's another level to attain. It's extra sneaky! Look very closely for "who" wants to reach the next level. What is it exactly? 🙏
  8. In that moment if you dont know what even experience is, completely not knowing, as deep sleep or before physical birth, that’s what You really are is.
  9. Bro roasting everyone
  11. Today

    I disagree. He is precisely blaming the left's problems on the right. Like Marxists do with the failure of Communism. There is an attempt to disown the bad consequences of leftism by saying it's not the true left.

  16. @Leo Gura Isn’t it possible for him to maintain his power and tone down the chauvinism, It seems that these chauvinistic antics only hinder him from true greatness.
  17. I'm serious about my spiritual path, and I have a very inquisitive nature when it comes to the self, reality, consciousness, etc. But I really feel kinda stuck. I've been doing psychedelics for more than 10 years, and I've been using them regularly for more than 4 years. This includes 5-MeO-DMT, LSD, and others. I've had many very strong experiences with 5-MeO that I consider awakenings. Here's the thing: I've experienced many of the things people commonly report from their trips — depersonalization, ego death, the mind-like nature of reality, absolute calm and peace, complete fusion and oneness with my environment, the absence of time, omnipresence, love and acceptance of reality as it is, etc. All of these things are real to me because I've actually experienced them. But I still haven't been able to reach some of the other experiences people report. Many people have talked about things like time travel, becoming super-intelligent alien minds, experiencing God's mind, and so on. This is difficult for me because I don't want to blindly believe in these experiences. If anything, I'd like to experience them myself rather than simply accepting them as beliefs and falling into dogma. I don't know whether it's a matter of higher doses, different substances, more meditation, or something else entirely. At the same time, it's difficult to find proper guidance. I've been following Gura's work for a long time, and I really appreciate a lot of what he's done. However, it sometimes feels weird to me that he says he wants to help people awaken, while at the same time he — and many other people on this path — tend to treat others as "newbies" or inexperienced, so to speak. Not to mention that I feel pretty alone on this path. 99.9% of the people I interact with don't really care about these things at all. I'm planning a Bufo Alvarius experience with a lot of preparation — fasting, a calm mindset, a proper environment, a high dose, etc. — in the hope of reaching the next level. But honestly, I don't know if it's going to work. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Have you reached a point where you felt like you had experienced a lot of what psychedelics can show you, but still felt that there was something further to explore? How did you approach that without simply taking other people's claims on faith?

    He’s saying it is “Right wing-thinking” maybe not in this video but in others older ones that he has created as a chain, thats why I linked one of them. Saying he actually means it’s right wing is a bad representation of this guy. You are assuming he doesn’t understand that woke is an ill branch of left wing just as MAGA is an ill branch of right wing, but it’s not the case.
  19. The real magic is God/Love realization. The ordinary becoming extraordinary I’m headed to the grocery store to contemplate what GOD is. There’s miracles awaiting there.
  20. Triggering people and provoking to make a point is uncharitable, though.
  21. If this general sentiment was true we would've never had limits on working hours and other regulation for humane and safe working conditions that we have at least here in the west. I do get your point that we should not give them the benefit of the doubt and ensure it's at the core of AI based policy. Our man Bernie along those lines is working to setup a sovereign wealth fund that would make the public own 50% of US AI companies in order to fund services for the masses. I haven't looked precisely into what the bill entails but it's encouraging to see it already being discussed in policy circles. I agree with the general sentiment of your comment but I'll address this specific part. Do you think most humans are capable of striving for agency and ownership? AI tools are out now, how many people do you know that are up to date with them and using agentic solutions now to secure themselves and their communities against this techno-feudalist dystopia? Your concerns are valid but I want to make sure we avoid this communist pitfall that a lot of people fall into when talking about economic egalitarianism. We need to develop a basic safety net to ensure the survival of the general population but from there competent and already rich people will indeed use AI tools to further enrich themselves. I think that's completely fine and should actually be encouraged. We have tools at our disposal to regulate the inequality that will keep existing as a result; wealth taxes are amongst the simplest and most powerful effective measures for that.
  22. That's fair, I'll work on more pleasant delivery. @JoshB I feel like you are still running away from the point I'm making though. Do you really experience your current reality as fully self-defined? Have you managed to set your own rent? If you own your own property then I guess so. What about your relationship to your local government? Do you define its policies or are you still working towards that and just choosing to ignore it at the moment? I find it easy to use the concept of non-duality to soothe our existential angst but lose in the process our relationship to responsibility. When life doesn't go our way which it's not for me all the time, I also find it soothing to remember spiritual principles to ground myself but I also fear it leads me towards complacency and I also see other forum users go towards that path so I find it valuable to point it out to them.
  23. @Natasha Tori Maru That's right. We could call how one feels about their inherent value 'Self-esteem' which is worth studying and I think ideally should love yourself unconditionally but still push yourself to reach your goals to enhance your own quality of life. Where I don't agree with your earlier point on me invalidating people's life choice is that I don't shame people for wanting a life style that differs from mine. I tend to ask difficult questions that sometimes I think hints at people's blindspots but I don't think that constitutes a pathology. For example in the spirituality section I was asking @Cathal how he feels about his sense of responsibility towards mankind while living as a monk. He answered the first one then seemed to avoid the subsequent questions. It could be because I've touched on deep points about life that he's trying his best to avoid or I could've asked my questions in an uncouth manner that he felt didn't warrant a response. Either way I don't think tiptoeing around sensitive issues is an effective way to live one's life so especially on a forum about self-development and deep truth I tend to err towards the side of uncouthness rather than polite pleasantries. My aim in life is finding the best goals to have and the best way to achieve them. I engage on this forum with that core quest in mind.
  24. I am sure he believes that. But he will do whatever gets him more power. He is incapable of sacrificing his own power for humanity. Love is meaningless without sacrifice.
  26. just yeasterday he said he loves humanity. lol

  27. I have two options.

    Get 10 or 15 friends and you’ll have options for plans most weeknights, and parties and clubs to go to at weekends. You’ll meet tons of girls this way. Social circles are exponential. Through every friend you will often meet a bunch of other people, many of whom will be girls. This is particularly true in university. On top of this, girls find you more attractive when you have friends. Having few or no close friends will make most girls lose interest in you very quickly. Massive action may be required but putting all of your eggs in one basket, cold approach, is unwise. Better to distribute that massive action across several areas like social circle, style, gym, dating apps, and yes, cold approach.
