@SQAAD His own sun analogy fails him as it's obvious there are degrees of sunlight. Don't take psychedelic advice from people who have not done lots of psychedelics. There are certainly degrees of awareness and consciousness. This confusion happens with spiritual teachers because they mistake pure empty consciousness with states of higher holistic God-consciousness. These are different things. If your only focus is pure empty consciousness, then yes, that has no degrees or qualities to it. But that's a bias and it's not the highest form of consciousness, it's the lowest. In a sense, you can strive for the lowest possible level or the highest. Zen and Advaita strive for the lowest. Which is fine, but it's only half the game. Just because you've reached the lowest level: zero, does not mean you've reached the highest levels of Infinite Consciousness. What people like Spira are guiding you towards is the lowest level. And what I'm guiding you to is the highest. Hence there is a disparity and confusion. The problem is that this distinction is not made clear to students and teachers love to dismiss the higher levels because they love to reduce everything to the lowest. It's a form of spiritual reductionism. People like Ralston fall into this trap. When your only method is something like self-inquiry or meditation, you end up reducing everything down to pure emptiness. Which is not the same thing as Infinite Consciousness or God-consciousness. The problem is that self-inquiry is not enough to get you to Infinite Consciousness. It gets you to emptiness, which is nice, but not the end-all. And psychedelics can get you to emptiness too. So his characterization of psychedelics are merely expanding the range of experience is simply false. Psychedelics will do both. They will expand range but also make you conscious of emptiness and the groundless ground.

It can. Just change your DNA. You can't have a meaningful change without changing the very foundation of the thing you are. People want to keep the foundation the same yet get an exponential change, which is silly. The solution to ending human stupidity is to stop being human.

As it goes mainstream it will turn into stupidity and evil. This has all happened before. The only thing that will lead to a mass awakening is a techological breakthrough more radical than 5-MeO-DMT. Some scientific way to change our DNA or brains to make people more conscious by default. It will not happen through meditation or yoga or education alone.

This is laughable. Just look at how alseep people are. There will be no mass awakening. Teachers say that because it creates a nice narrative for their students to buy into to make themselves feel important. You sure feel important when you visit Shunya's ashram and pretend like you are saving the world by meditating. But you are not saving anyone but yourself. The world has been in chaos for 10,000 years and that's not about to change. There is nothing special about today's chaos.

You're missing stage Blue discipline and work ethic. You have been spoiled rotten. You gotta spend years building up your work ethic.

That IS the love of truth. That is the desire for truth. You just need to cultivate and feed that impulse like stoking a coal into a roaring fire. Love of truth is a bitter-sweet thing. Don't expect it be like candy. Truth requires a mature palate. You can develop your palate by pursuing truth gradually until you come to appreciate it more and more.

Careful breathing in those hippie fumes. New Age contact high

Obviously there will be chaos to reach a higher level of development and consciousness. No one is disputing that. The problem is when you drill it into your students' minds that civilization is collapsing. Civilization is not collapsing, it's just evolving. What he says in the above video is exactly correct. The only thing is, there will not be any mass awakening soon. 100 years from now people will still largely be as unconscious and undeveloped as they are today. Our situation is far deeper than some guru's YT videos can fix in one generation. It will take 100s of years to move a significant number of people up to the levels of consciousness he is talking about. It will not happen in your childrens' lifetime.

Healthy stage Blue IS very admirable. But also, there is a back side to that coin:

@Hotaka Don't spread slander and gossip here. Mahasamadhi is a serious thing which you are nowhere close to comprehending.

He's pretty Yellow. Green progressives too quickly dismiss him because they confuse him with Orange and not being Green enough. Classic pre/trans fallacy.

This gets you all the girls in the club: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m80387756640/

It's better to remove it than to live with it for 60 years. But you need to find a dentist experienced in heavy metal extraction otherwise a normal dentist will leak that mercury all into your mouth.

They're not faking it. This is how toxic stage Blue sees reality.

Copeland's not a con artist. That's just their worldview.

Dressing sharp, fitted, with style and grooming well is important. But by itself it will not get you laid. And you can get laid without it. Go to a tailor and get all your clothes fitted. Buy new clothes that have some kind of matching style. Hire an image consultant if you can't figure out your style yourself. You need at least one set of sharp jeans, sharp dress shirt, sharp shoes, and they all have to fit together well and fit your body perfectly. Groom your hair and facial hair so that it looks sharp.

Compare Khabib's attitude to McGregor's toxic materialism and shit-talking.

Then it could be fear, or it could just be a mistake.

God's equation: 1

The epitome of a Yellow dialogue: It's long, but notice how distinctly non-ideological and self-aware it is. Tier 2 stuff. Notice how different Yellow is from Green.

Be careful not to project fear onto him. I don't see any fear in him from what I have seen. I disagree with his Kali Yuga teachings, but they are not fear based. It it not fear to say the world is ending if it actually is.

Jeffy's mother was raped, tortured, and killed by his father when he was a teen. Dude's got much more serious problems than a mercury filling.

4 billion years of fear were required to engineer your body and mind so that it can survive long enough to learn the word "love".

Forgot about Monkey Ball. Good stuff
