  2. You can't realize that consciousness is absolute because it's relative. If you erase any relation, consciousness disappear. You are the only non believer in this conversation. Well, and me. All others have adopted a dogma, the absolute consciousness, and they believe that they realised it. That's how the human mind works.
  3. 46:00 he defines physical reality. Its something behind your projections. @Leo Gura you say there is nothing behind your direct projection. But not even a projection behind a projection? So layers of projections? Like for example martin balls view, there is a projected Tree out there and I see it with my ego projection?
  4. The more i interact with humans, the more i understand how hierarchical they are. People aren't equal by any means. First it started with pick up artistry, which taught that the more you act like you're above the girl, the more the approach is high quality. Then at work, which taught me just how much money is important for classiness. Before my job i used to subscribe to the idea that classiness comes from education, manners, etc... And of course they do play a role. But money is also equally important. Because it's very difficult to act classy when you're trying to spare money all the time, or when you don't have the money for chic clothes, or to tip the server, etc... So yeah, the more i gain social experience, the more i realize how hierarchical humans are, in terms of elegance, manners, and as well as sophistication. I think this is more pronounced in places where criminality and poverty is rampant. That's why i also think poverty generates crime. Because when you're at the bottom of the social hierarchy, you don't have access to good education, money, opportunities, etc... The manners of people around you aren't very charitable or elegant. Hence you can devolve into crime quite easily. Gangs, mafias, drug trafficking, etc...
  5. Thinking types are kinda funny sometimes.
  6. Thank you for bringing up this topic. Like you said, it is tricky. I think it's one of the most under-discussed topics in sexuality, even though it's one of the most important ones. I think many women find it difficult to be explicit about consent mainly because it conflicts with social ideals of purity and good/accepted behavior. Women often feel like they must maintain some level of resistance to sexual desire, and that's understandable for many reasons. Also, I would imagine explicitly asking for consent to feel like resetting the woman's emotional state, because subconsciously she knows if there was a real connection, there would be no need to ask, he would just get her and know what she needs and do it without asking. It disrupts the flow of the connection she thought was there, which would likely kill her mood. This is because optimal emotional connection doesn't rely on verbal language, but on subtle body language and reading between the lines. Also, for some women, saying 'no' actually feels more empowering than saying 'yes', because it's easier to say yes, not as much agency in allowing than in disallowing. And in this case, saying 'no' feels like total freedom and ownership of own body. Lastly, saying 'no' to the right person could be an expression of experiencing a profound level of safety. For some women, saying 'no' can be particularly difficult because they're used to being compliant from a young age. It feels risky and wrong to stand up and assert themselves as a free human with a free choice. It feels like rebellion against the rules. For me (an ex low EQ male), I think it's better to have at least one flirting session with a girl before assuming attraction. She must be comfortable flirting with me first. Then she must voluntarily let me get close enough to her for physical escalation. This is partly why I generally prefer waiting a few dates before any physical contact and a month or a couple of months before sex. This way everything is clear, and I'm sure I won't be misunderstanding or crossing any lines by mistake. And even then, sometimes I ask before I do something new. Like I put my hand somewhere and look into her eyes and ask her if it's okay. Only once that was met with a firm no. And I respected that.
  7. They use the word frequency and vibration because they externalized there feelings into the cosmos as a super natural phenomena. That person has negative vibration = they made me feel bad vibe. But the above equation is to plain and not spiritual enough so they want the vibration to be a magical thing that is connected with karma as a super natural thing and so on. New narrative: "that person has a low vibration, and their karma is energetically incompatible with mine" creates an entire metaphysical narrative. They dont recognize that what is real is already pure magic and does not need magical story embellishment. New age spirituality are stuck in materisialsm but disguised it as spiritual metaphysics. Orange Materialism: Hand is made of atoms Green Materialism: Hand is made of frequency/vibration/energy
  8. He will, he has no choice.
  9. What is an example of a debunking video in this case ?
  10. Very intelligent people are also dead asleep. Look at Joscha Bach or Christopher Langan. 200iq+ but are frightened to awake. Its all about the sincere commitment to actual truth, in whatever form it may come.

  14. everything is vibration and frequency - which is also why the terms become so weak and fluffy

  17. I feel sorry for Dr Roman Yampolskiy. But then again, he signed up for this. Maybe this should be in the humour / off-topic section

  18. Triggered Gender Movement

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to integral's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    @aurum well said. That hatred phase is an expression of feeling betrayed as expressed by my girlfriends. I don't entertain it. Because I don't share it, and I feel as if it fuels the fire. I agree that the ultimate objective is neither submission nor opposition. Healthy endgame to me looks like autonomy with the capacity for genuine connection.

  19. Funny video thread

  20. Truth is right in front of our noses. A junkie can wake up in a gutter right now. God is not elitist in that way.
  21. The way to heal is to notice this loop and become conscious of it and try to stop it.

  23. Conquering the mind. The place where all thought originates. All emotion is contemplated. All imagination is possible. All memory of identity, is held. The purpose of this journal is to document my own journey at this stage of my personal growth. With everything that has transpired over these past few years and the road ahead, "Conquering the Mind" is a sentiment that rings all too true. Across generations from philosophy to martial arts, time and time again for no less peculiar of a reason for my own beginning here this sentiment has struck at the core of countless humans that have walked this earth and have now passed through it. They have left their written deeds in philosophy, their cultural impacts through stories still written in song, film and play, and their various disciplines in meditation to martial arts. And in that claim, they leave us four words in their example: X marks the spot. "x", that elusive singular point in consciousness that is nameless and yet has every name we can possibly conceive of, is faceless, and yet holds our most vulnerable one, is nothing and yet reveals the weight of our own potential that must fill it. Not just in realisation for the sake of doing so, as life has shown us that we can acquire only so much to satisfy ourselves. Nor even as an act of knowing oneself at a deeper level, for life has shown us that it is possible to become too full of oneself without much 'knowing'. Nor even for conquering goals in our external reality before us, though its wise to keep them plentiful. But all in all, its because the mind is the seed to all creation and thus the seed to all that can be created by our own minds. Including too then in that creation, the degree of sophistication that is born, grown and tended to in the wielding of our own minds for our own purposes. Best wishes. “Conquer your own mind, and conquer the world.” — Guru Nanak “He who conquers his mind is greater than those who conquer dominions in the war.” — Swami Sivananda “For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends.” — Bhagavad Gita “Those who conquer their own minds, by Guru’s Grace, conquer the world.” — Guru Granth Sahib “The mind is difficult to control and restless; but by practice and by dispassion it may be restrained.” — Bhagavad Gita “Conquer the mind slowly and carefully through intelligent means.” — Swami Sivananda “You can’t control the fight if you can’t control your mind.” — Ando Mierzwa “Conquer your mind and then conquer the entire universe with your spirituality and divine force.” — Swami Sivananda “The Yogi who by meditation and Yogic discipline conquers his mind, conquers easily the world of matter.” — Swami Sivananda “Even though you have not conquered the battles of the world, you become the world-conqueror when you conquer your mind.” — Attributed to Swami Chinmayananda “To conquer mind is more difficult than to conquer the whole world.” — Swami Abhedananda “You will conquer the mind if you rest content in the self, undistracted by the concepts.” — Yoga Vasistha “The mind is the captain of the army of your bodily and mental senses.” — Yoga Vasistha “When the mind is conquered, its turbulent wanderings are stopped.” — Guru Granth Sahib “Rare is the one who knows the medicine to conquer the mind.” — Guru Granth Sahib “Without conquering his mind, no one can be successful.” — Guru Granth Sahib “To conquer the mind is the knowledge of the six Shastras.” — Guru Granth Sahib “Without sound reasoning it is impossible to conquer the mind.” — Annapurna Upanishad “You should first conquer the mind through Vichara or enquiry of ‘Who am I?’” — Swami Sivananda “I have mastery over the mind.” — Uppalavanna Sutta “To control the mind, to place it just where we want it requires special training.” — Swami Vivekananda
  24. Another good interview with him:
  25. This is really damning if accurate....
  26. When he discusses psychedelics it might be better to give actual trip reports rather than speak generally about certain psychedelics.
  27. @Lyubov Thanks bro, beautifully said.
