Oh, that's easy! Haven't you noticed how much you avoid looking at truth and how much you lie to yourself and to others? Observe your own dishonesty. Dishonesty comes in many subtle forms. You lie to yourself many times per day and your entire lifestyle is predicated upon lies you've told yourself for years. You also participate in many collective lies found in our culture. Contemplate: Where am I avoiding truth in my life? Truth isn't some fancy mystical thing. Truth is just whatever is the case. But the problem is that simply admitting whatever is the case to yourself undercuts your survival strategies and manipulations. -
Sounds like a lack of trust and comfort. A person is not going to explain a deep problem to you unless they trust you and think that you care.

@Vido I'm saying you never cared much about truth. What you care about is increasing your survival and comfort, and you do this at the cost of truth. Then that bites you in the ass. The quality of Truth/Love is selflessness. Lack of manipulation and scheming to meet your own needs. Lack of dwelling on yourself. -

There is no more direct teaching than 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT up your butt. -

You're not being asked to buy her flowers and take her horseback riding. You're just making her feel like you like her for something besides her ass. You need to have standards for who you sleep with that are beyond looks. You come off as very unattractive if you have no standards.

Nothing has no reference point, hence it is everything. Yes, that is enlightenment. -
Sure, they give you some feedback, but it's pretty weak stuff. You should already know most of your sticking points by analyzing your own sets. Bootcamps are very low value. You are better off just finding a couple of solid wings. You will learn more from your wings in a few weeks than from a bootcamp. To me, seeing more in-field and new in-field is almost always worth it. But if you've seen a ton of in-field already then maybe not. I find that I learn the best from watching solid in-field. There's not really any special information in game. It's about fine-tuning your game in small ways. All of it adds up over the years. There's no magic pill, just a bunch of 1%-5% improvements that stack up. $300 for HotSeat is a pretty good deal if you've never seen it. I saw it live back in 2012 and was happy to pay $300 for it. This at home version is newer and you get the benefit of being able to rewatch it at home. I wish I had that back in 2012. The biggest downside is that it tends to be flashy game, which is actually not the best game. It's made to look more interesting for viewers to watch than it is solid game. But it's good to try some flash game just to see how much you can get away with. It expands your range. Just don't get lost in being so flashy. The best game is more chill and normal.

Self-deception 101. Your feelings are there to help your short-term survival, and survival is usually not truth, it's illusions and biases. By overwhelming your mind's focus with survival, you drift further and further away from truth into a hell of your own making. In a sense survival is the avoidance of truth. And avoidance of truth always comes back to bite you in the ass, it just takes a while. Most people live in a way where they are trying to cheat at life in order to temporarily feel good. This is like living off a rolling series of credit card loans. -
That depends on how it's implemented. Could be bad, could be decent. Most other developed countries have done it. So there's nothing new here. Yes, America has the best healthcare for rich people. America is the perfect place to live if you're rich. The result of a highly capitalistic privatized libertarian society is that the top 10% do extremely well at the cost of everyone else. I'm in that top 10% so it doesn't really bother me. But if I was in the other 90% I would be pissed off.

When you build up a macho identity it's then easy for right-wing ideas to take root in your mind. He's becoming a cartoon caricature of what it means to be a man. A lot of guys with a stage Orange center of gravity are having a backlash against Green. Like Elliot Hulse. It's very predictable. Which is why we talk about Spiral Dynamics here, to make sense of this stuff. People ask why we talk about Spiral Dynamics so much here. Well, here's why. To avoid becoming silly memes like this. -
I find watching in-field way more effective than a bootcamp. Bootcamps are pretty bad value. All that happens on a bootcamp is you are told to approach. The HotSeat really opens your mind to what is possible in game. Although much of it is flash game. But still, even seeing flash game is good to grow some balls.

The whole point of a single payer system is to decrease the quality of healthcare for the wealthy. The point is to redistrubute resouces from top to bottom. This means rich people get less. This is a good thing for society as a whole. It is laughly selfish to hear people complain about receiving less. We live in a society.

Because Zen is just not effective for most people in the modern world. Take some 5-MeO-DMT. There is your Zen. Spiritual technology must evolve with the times, just like everything else. People cling to the outdated technologies as if they have value in and of themselves. -

Perceptions ARE nothingness. How can you know what somethingness is? How can you define what is and what isn't something? If I show you a big hairy dick, how do you know it's not nothing? How do you know it is something? Treat this question seriously. Stop taking somethingness for granted. It's not a given. You take for granted that you can accurately distinguish something from nothing, but this isn't true. This distinction you're making is not objective, it is arbitrary and biased. -
This is a great example of the lack of perspectival self-awareness and judgementalism of Green. It's a great contrast to Yellow, which would not be triggered or judgmental about lower perspectives.

Technically it infringes on copyright unless you have explicit permission. But I would not pursue you for that unless you're somehow using my content in a corrupt manner. As a best practice you should avoid using other people's work in your work unless you made special explicit deals with them.

It's not just a matter of making healthcare single payer. The real work is in breaking up the healthcare industry cartel which overcharges everyone they can. The biggest benefit of a single payer system is that the government can have enormous leverage over the private medical cartels. That's the real key. Without that not much money is saved. Basically government needs to put a lid on medical profiteering.

You still don't get it. You don't have a reference point for what a "zero" or "empty" is. You are assuming these are objective things. They aren't. They are relative. ONENESS means you cannot have a reference point for anything, since all reference points are inside the ONENESS you're trying to define and therefore all definitions ultimately fail. There exists no objective definition for "something" nor "nothing". Therefore they literally collapse into an identity. Everything you think of as something, is simultaneously also nothing. Your mind is being too biased towards equating form with somethingness to realize this. What you're missing with this bias is that form IS nothing. You are stuck equating nothingness with formlessness, which is not the full picture. You have to realize that this is a bias which God does not share. This is a dumb human bias, so drop it. -
DMT only lasts 15 mins. I can smoke DMT before bed and sleep fine.

You can easily get blood tests for copper and iron. And you can easily supplement them.

It's just pathetic. Rather than developing yourself into an attractive man you are paying to remain unattractive.

My bro got married off OkCupid. So it is possible.
