@RedLine Just shut up and sit.

Yes, just sit and look at it.

Okay, this is getting moronic. Give you guys an inch, you take a mile.

@Yog I don't see him exposing anything. I mostly see him mocking and demonizing people who are into self-improvement to an audience of clapping monkeys who haven't even begun self-improving.

Direct experience is not in the mind or of the senses. That's more stories you're inventing. Direct experience is Absolute Truth. Just stop projecting your crap onto it.

This issue has already been handled. It was not doxxing per se. It was a matter of reporting a suicidal person to their parents. Be chill, things are in good order. You guys are way too gossipy around here. Keep your nose to your own business.

People have different bodies and different genetics and there is no such thing as one best birth control method for everyone. What didn't work for you might work well for another. Be careful generalizing from a handful of personal experiences.

Just realize this: when you are day trading your job is essentially to steal money from others. Only you don't call it "stealing". And then you wonder why it doesn't work and why your money gets stolen instead. When you enter a den of thieves, expect to get robbed. That's called being a fool.

That is beyond the scope of what we are talking about. First, get the basic distinction between a belief and direct experience of a thing. When we talk about direct experience of Mars, we are not implying that it exists forever permanently. That's an additional projection your mind adds to the experience. We are simply talking about the experience. Have you ever experienced Mars for yourself? Yes or no? I don't care if you think it exists without you looking at it. And I don't care if you think it is a hallucination. Those are separate issues.

Maybe so, but he's still gonna fall for nationalism and he still thinks his culture is superior.

No, it is a get rich quick scheme. And you will end up losing all your money. Day trading is for fools. You are just gambling while calling it something more.

No you can't. That assumes high development already.

That is a story, not direct experience. Huge difference. For the love of God, that is BELIEF and HEARSAY! You guys are failing miserably at grasping the obvious. Sit down and get clear about what is belief and what is not. Make this distinction. It's not hard, but you are too lazy to actually do it. You are not doing the work, you are just parroting ideas you heard. That will get you nowhere.

@rstevens087 Obviously there are many possible factors. Testing is required. Depression and low mood is not gonna cause ADD. Depression and low mood can also have many factors, one of which is metal toxicity. When your brain is not functioning properly life purpose and exercise and other stuff like that will not solve it. They are the misdiagnosis.

You need some unique service or resource to sell.

No, because relative to most politicians he's one of the most intelligent and developed. Compare him to Trump, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Clinton, etc. and Obama comes out ahead. I'm not sure what you want? Bernie? Yeah, Bernie is great but unelectable. Stage Blue Orange backlash. We have a billion dollar right-wing propaganda machine which demonizes Green. Economically Obama is more in the Orange/Green stage. Not even solid Green. Trump is a demogague. Demogauges gain power by con artisry and appealing to people's fears and anger. Trump pull off the greatest con in American political history thanks to demonization of Green and improper media coverage.

Massive economic development. China is a good example. It went from poverty to success in 60 years.

Now you know why many culutures call breath spirit.

@SamueLSD Look at what Mars is for you. How do you know about it at all? It is just hearsay and belief. Have you ever seen it? No? Then what else could it be but a belief? If you ever see it with your own eyes then it will become something more than belief for you. Buy a telescope and actually try to find Mars and notice the difference between what you find and the belief you had.

Well, I think there is more overlap between meditation and psychedelics than decathlon and calculus. But psychedelics require a patient and methodical approach, just like meditation. You can't just jump into it once and understand. It's good if we get more advanced meditators like Daniel to also go deep into psychedelics because right now these two fields lack integration. We need more mystics and nondual teachers and Buddhists doing serious psychedelics.

In that thread I said that Russia's level of development could not accommodate much better. Were it not for Stalin, probably some other strong-man would have taken his place. In general I don't hold the naive view that ousting a "bad guy" will solve much of a country's problems. The bad guy will be replaced by another bad guy.

It's Eternal. So it always is. Like an infinitely long movie that has been playing forever.

Well, there are many possible explanations there: 1) There were threats posed by Lybia that needed some action. 2) The military advisors and so on misled Obama 3) Obama could have made a mistake. It's hard to tell without knowing all the details of why they decided to bomb. I don't know all the details of that action and the reasons behind it. Certainly I acknowledge that Obama could have made some bad choices. But you also have to consider what worse choices someone else in his position could have made. If Trump was in his shoes during that time I don't think he would hesitate much to bomb Lybia. Same for John McCain. Remember, it's not like Jesus is going to fill the Presidency role. The choice was Obama vs McCain vs Romney.

@Lauritz Bewer Your question makes no sense.

Active through your movements. Creation is not an event that happened 15 billion years ago. Creation is happening every millisecond. Everything coming into your experience is being created on-the-fly. God is an infinite process of creation.
