That stage Blue conservative Christian value set is lodged deep in this psyche and colors his whole worldview.

It simply won't work and I told him that. The women will just get addicted and attached to the feelings of love, and these will be feelings of conditional love, not Absolute Love with detachment. And then they will get their heart broken as those attachments necessarily shatter. He thinks these women will be able to maintain a sort of enlightened detachment -- but of course they won't. Not even close, because they would first need to do 10 years of consciousness work for that even be thinkable. It's not like this hasn't been tried in the past with disaterous consequences. But Connor believes he can do it better and avoid all the traps because he is here to awaken the world through materialistic means.

Connor has a sort of blind optimism where he feels that he can do no wrong and everything will just work out as long as his intentions are good. I am not so optimistic about human nature. He believes that as long as one is "fully awake" then one can do no wrong, and if one does wrong then one is not "fully awake". Of course I have always taught the exact opposite of that. No matter how awake you are, self-deception and devilry is always luring right around the corner. No amount of awakening will save you from mistakes and wrong-doing. That requires extreme vigilance, which he doesn't care too much about. Hence evil will happen. But he disagrees.

That is not something I focus on.

Cause you still live from your mind. You won't be conscious of them all at once either. At least not without a ton of work.

@Tim R Regardless of how much you awaken you will still have a mind and this mind thinks of and talks about reality in dualistic and partial ways. You cannot hold all the facets of awakening in your mind or even in your experience at once at all times.

If you have any criticisms or complaints about my work feel free to post them here and I will answer them.

Please note: while Connor can do as he likes on his own channels, this forum will not be used for outrageous clickbait, drama, and other such self-promotional games. I am not going to be giving publicity to people who engage in deliberate attention-whoring or who give spirituality or psychedelics an unhinged look for the sake of clicks. My general rule is to not engage with response videos or attention-seekers.

Apparently he deliberately makes his videos in that unhinged style. He loves that clickbait. He certainly wasn't unhinged face to face with me. Normal healthy young dude from what I can tell.

You should search Reddit, I've seen a lot of folks there discuss HPPD. We haven't had much cases of it on this forum.

Well, I had a good long conversation with Connor and we discussed plenty of traps involved in this work. Overall he's a lot more reasonable than he appears in his zany videos. His videos are overly dramatic for views and clicks. I'm not concerned for his mental health. He seems stable and happy and he has a pretty good grasp of nonduality. The only concern besides the image problems he creates for himself is some of the bold plans he has for teaching people awakening via Tantric sex, which I think is not gonna be effective and will be ripe for hurt/abuse. We've discussed the dangers and he's aware of my concerns but ultimately it's his business and it has nothing to do with what I teach. His and my styles and standards for teaching are very different. He likes a flamboyant and dramatic approach. I explained to him the dangers of that. He is open to feedback but also a firm believer in his approach and techniques. Connor's a decent guy from what I can tell and perhaps in 5 or 10 years he will make a solid teacher as his style matures. He's quite young and cocky so of course the maturity is still lacking, but that's to be expected for someone his age. We had little disagreement on the substance of nonduality or God. Our differences lie in style, attitude, and values. What he learned from me is not the style but some metaphysical and epistemic articulations which helped him make sense of his psychedelic awakening experiences. He was enjoyable to talk to. I wish him well.

Salvia produces a degree of no-self that is so radical it is terrifying. You will not be able to remember your own name or how you were born. If you want to truly understand madness, salvia is your gal

Stan Grof wrote entire books about "spiritual emergencies" and "spiritual crises". This is very, very common in the spiritual world. If you're going to practice hardcore spirituality you will almost certainly face a spiritual emergency at some point if you go deep enough. Many people don't go deep enough so they don't understand. And this is not exclusive to psychedelics. Hardcore meditation can be just as challenging. Smoke enough salvia and you'll have a spiritual emergency, I promise. Salvia will scare the living daylight out of you. It will wipe away your whole reality within seconds and you will cry for mommy like a little girl. And there will be no mercy with salvia. It will not treat you with kid gloves like some other psychedelics. Just as you're begging for mercy it will rip your face off.

Any state of consciousness radically beyond one's own will be perceived as madness.

No The kind of insight I'm talking about is a total state of awakening and infinite consciousness that you become. It's nothing that can ever be mistaken and it cannot be validated or invalidated by any other human. When you become infinitely conscious -- that's it. You are more conscious than any of these gurus and teachers. You are equally conscious to God. You ARE God. The end. All gurus and teachings become a joke. Become so conscious that every guru looks like an idiot. You are God. Don't let any fool convince you otherwise. They have no clue what God means. God is not merely no-self. And God is not merely some void. These are all inferior and reductionistic nondual understandings. They are not as high or as deep as God-realization. Do not stop until you hit INFINITY.

Not necessary. You can practice physical escalation at the club on random girls. Physical game is a huge part of learning game. Practice it for a few months at a busy nightclub and you'll get pretty good.

Bro, that's the entire point of alcohol.

Women, of course Women get upset when guys hurt women. But women don't give a fuck when women hurt guys. Self-bias 101 I'm not judging. Just saying how it tends to work. Of course guys also generally don't care when they hurt women. The not-caring is so profound that neither sex is even aware of it.

Go out and talk to girls. You're making this too complicated with your horrible inner game. The proper inner game is this: Stop thinking and GO OUT AND TALK TO GIRLS! I used to be very insecure. Until I started going out and hot girls slowly started to get attracted to me. That changed my inner game because you can't believe "I'm not good looking enough" once a hot girl is eager to suck your dick. If you talk to 100s of girls you will notice that a few of them really love you. It's a numbers game. If you believe you can't, then you can't. If you believe you can, then you can. Be ware of how your mind constructs reality.

This is of course correct. All experience is consciousness no matter how high or low. This is absurdly false. If this was true, no insight would be possible at all. And clearly insight is possible. Radical insight is possible. Do you understand what the Universe is? Don't let anyone tell you it's not possible. It is possible. Total omniscience is possible. I'm getting sick of debunking this neo-advaita horseshit.

If you look like an ogre then this is your time to shine!

Go talk to and date hot girls. Hot girl getting wet for you will reprogram your mind.

I'd say he exudes more the vibe of a sandy vagina

That is not a general case, that is a special case. Thoughts themselves are not ego. Inner dialogue is not ego either.
