Sounds like awakening

What is this tempest in a teapot scandal? I would rather have Dr. K talking to gamers than no one talking to them -- which would be the most likely scenario if he stopped talking to them. Not to mention how many people are helped who tune in to watch the show. The notion that these gamers were gonna go find their own therapists if not for Dr K is laughable to me. What am I missing in this scandal?? I haven't watched all the videos.

1) Because survival require selfish zero-sum actions. Or you die. Even for Jesus Christ or The Buddha to live he must walk, step on, and kill many ants. Awakening does not make you an angel. You still gotta shit like everyone else. 2) Realizing that one's human identity is illusory is much easier than changing your entire identity to some other. Awakening is not personal development and awakening is not mastery. 3) Creating a highly conscious community/society is an other order of magnitude higher and a separate matter from awakening. You could have an awakening and then go shoot up a school. That doesn't mean the awakening didn't happen or wasn't real. It's just that one awakening does not transform a lifetime of bad mental habits. Also, most of the people claiming awakening are not really awake. So there's that.

Developing a game requires a massive budget. Web development was a way to earn money to fund such projects. FYI, I've been designing websites since I was in middle school. So it wasn't a big switch. I already had the skill set.

If Nahm is willing to correct his communication style, he can stay as a non-Mod member.

This is exactly the thing I don't want you guys to absorb. You can be extremely spiritually advanced AND communicate with humans clearly. It's not just that you didn't understand him because you were not woke enough. I also didn't understand him in many cases. It is a problem of social acuity.

People who repeatedly provoke these gender wars are going to start getting warnings.

Locking because this will just turn into another gender war. Do not debate with the opposite sex. Just go date however you feel is right for you. You don't need to convince anyone of your dating strategy.

These gender wars are getting old. Men and women are never going to see eye to eye on dating. The bias is baked into your mind's genetics. Notice that rather than acting it out.

@Nahm Your neo-Advaita talk is getting tiresome. It does not help people awaken. Please stop it.

No, you can make new distinctions without raising your consciousness. You do this all the time as you learn. "Becoming more conscious" is a fundamental or primitive. It cannot be defined or explained by something else. You have to experience it. As an example, you become more conscious when you wake from sleep vs when you are sleeping. You are more conscious when you are meditating vs when you are watching TV.

If you make an other post asking about solipsism, I'm going to ban you. No more answers for you.

Absolute Truth is just raw experience itself. But you're not yet conscious of it. Yes, a raising of your state of consciousness is necessary to have a direct realization of what Absolute Truth is. I can recall the exact moment when I became conscious of what Truth is. And ever since I have never forgotten that.

Dude, just stop. You are not mature enough for the highest things being taught here. Go work on the basics for 5 years.

Because you are dreaming that you're a human. And humans are limited. If you were not dreaming, there wouldn't be any human life at all. There would be nothing. And you are attached to dreaming. You call the end of dreaming "death" and so you avoid it at all costs.

I give women who sleep with me a lot in return. So your strawman doesn't hold. The notion that I would not want to give a woman anything in return is insulting. The value I offer a girlfriend is outrageous. That's like me accusing women of only wanting to sleep with men for their money. The reason guys become "player kind of guys" is because that's who women end up sleeping with! You are not going to sleep with the shy nice guy playing Minecraft in his basement and jerking off to anime.

This is why I say to not listen to advice from girls on how to get laid. A fish is not going to teach a hungry fisherman how to fill his belly. The fish will just tell the fisherman not to fish, thinking the problem has been solved. Then she will end up in the basket of the biggest fisherman in town who already has more fish than can fit in his belly. "Just be yourself". Okay, thanks.

There is much you need to learn about life besides awakening.

Guys, how do I stop being addicted to Leo? He keeps following me around, stalking me in my dreams with his fucking life purpose.

Indeed

We made beautiful love as our souls collided in cosmic unity. Forest creatures wept in awe. Everyone lived happily ever after. No dudes were left without love.

All my wings are shorter than me and get laid more than me. One of my wings recently got a threesome. He's 5'4". He makes out with girls taller than him all the time. He got a BJ in the bathroom from a girl with a bf 30 minutes after meeting her in the casino. He's got great game and girls love him. He's also non-white and bald. Why does he get laid more than me? Why is he not using height as an excuse? Why does he give me tips on how to improve my game and I listen?

This just isn't true. You can stick a cucumber up your ass, or you can smoke some 5-MeO-DMT. One of them will definitely get you closer to God. Method matters. No one is saying that a map of the method is the Ultimate Answer itself. Of course! You ARE Ultimate Truth. They were not even close to awakening, so they are bad examples. Yes, you can reach full God-realization. It's not some pipe dream you never reach. If it couldn't be reached I wouldn't be talking about it. There is not going to be a clear distinction between these things. They are deeply entangled. Don't be so literal. The spirit and point of philosophy is a search for truth and the deepest understanding of reality possible. Well, that's God-realization. A competent philosopher is an awake philosopher, and all others are incompetent. It is philosophy's job to show the fly the way out of the bottle. No, the Ultimate Answer is: spoil the movie and enjoy it. It matters. Yes, caring about Truth is a bias. Sue me. Yes, the highest intelligence is only available in trans-human states of consciousness. State is critical.

Aunt and uncle brought him over, like the nice-guy chump they thought she wanted to date. "Here's a nice boy for you." But she didn't want a nice boy, she wanted a player.

I had a girl legit complain to me that she gets hit on by so many guys each night that she is sick of being nice to them in turning them all down. She was complaining to me about this minutes before she got in my bed.
