My rule is to not make up stupid marketing gimmicks but do serious philosophy instead

Yes

Be careful. You are getting stuck with these narrow lines of thinking. You want to be more nuanced, less emotional, and less stereotypical with your thinking. Not all religious people are so cartoonishly stupid. And there is certainly a connection between the God of religion and the God of Awakening. These cannot be unrelated things since humans did not invent God.

What you do is, you stop thinking about it, you fall back into the dream, and you enjoy the dream. Stop torturing yourself, basically. Like I said on my blog, this work is about learning to love illusion. Stop wanting things to be real. Want things to be illusions. Fall in love with the beauty of illusion.

You're talking about mystics, not religion.

I will check out his book. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's cute that you think normies are happy.

No, that is valid. Physical security is valid. The issue is that this victim complex never gets resolved but turns into a lifetime insecurity and fetish for proving ones manhood. That's the unconscious bit. This drive to prove you got a big swinging dick. That's what I see in a lot of UFC fans. It goes way beyond physical security into ego, overcompensation, and immature toxic masculinity. Look at Conor McGregor. What do his antics have to do with physical security and standing up to bullies? He is the bully. And note, he is the most popular UFC fighter for that reason.

@MuadDib Good. Not profitable for who? You're overlooking the relativity of the profit. It's very profitable for certain people at the expense of the collective. Just like chemical pollution. Chemical pollution is profitable. Which is why it exists. But profit is relative to a who.

Breaking News! I have declared a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

It's a net positive because humans are not conscious, mature, nor developed enough to manage heathily without it. Such a level of maturity and development cannot be achieved through legal bans. There is no better alternative at this time.

A helpful tip to preempt girls from accusing you of using them just for sex: Do not talk about sex with them explicitly and do not come off like a thirsty horn-dog. It's very obvious to the girl when all you're thinking about is sex. Stop acting so desperate around her. She needs to feel that you are not so easily lured with sex. If you are always pushing her for sex you are too desperate. You need to act more cool and detached. Withhold or delay some sex so that she wants it more than you. Being desperate for sex is very unattractive. Jerk off before you see her, so you're not so desperate.

We don't do 9/11 conspiracy theories here.

Yeah, girls will play that card when you are too keen on the sex and fail to do romantic companionship stuff. You can flip the script on her by denying her sex next time she wants it. Or you can plan some more romantic dates. But if you are using her just as a fuck-buddy, well, she feels that and she will complain about it because no girl is satisfied with that kind of situation for long. Bottom line is, you not treating her like your girlfriend enough, you are treating her like a fuck-buddy.

Voters do not have a causal understanding of how economics or government works. They just vote instinctively based on vibes. The vibe is: don't vote for godless weak gay communist liberals who want to turn your children into trans. You are thinking about things far too logically. That's not how people get their political views. They don't sit down in an armchair and think through which political party would get them a bigger paycheck. It works the other way around. Whichever party has the right cultural vibes must also be the party that increases their paycheck. It can't be that the godless gay communists will give me a bigger paycheck. That makes no sense.

@Santiago Ram You are dealing with a mental condition. Maybe you are not in a good position to judge my work. Whatever this thing is you call enlightenment, it's not what I'm pointing to. As I've said, this is very, very advanced work. None of your religious talk is going to pass muster. If you insist on clinging to Chrisitianity then my work is not for you. As I told you from the beginning, this work is about deconstructing every human construct. And I mean that. Over and over again I keep seeing guys thinking you're too cool for school -- like you got this all figured out. But it's obvious you don't.

But pissing them off and not eliminating their capacity is not wise. It's like slapping a hornet. Deep underground they can still build their nukes.

This work is about understanding the workings of Mind to the deepest level possible. So of course that is useful for coaching people in a deep way. Not sure how many coaching clients need this level of depth. But it's always handy to know Mind as deeply as possible.

But this has not stopped Iran from funding Arabs. As far as nukes, hard to know if this actually stopped them. A nuke deal seems the wiser course.

You're not gonna like my answer. I would stop funding and arming Israel. As far as Iran, Obama made a nuclear deal with them. That deal seemed reasonable and could probably be done again. Prior to this attack.

As I told the pro-Palestine anti-Biden leftists, Trump will be way worse for their cause than Biden. And so it is. No authoritarian strongman is peaceful. That is one the biggest pieces of bullshit peddled by the right.

@Husseinisdoingfine I study human pervertry.

No, Awakening and ego-death.
