Nope I found plenty better. Nope

Sticking psychedelics up your butt is always worth it Usually rectal psychedelics are faster and more potent than oral. The potency of psychedelic administration routes is like this: IV > vape/smoke > snort > rectal > oral

Your problem is not what you think it is. The trick with serious personal development is that you must resolve problems at new levels of consciousness, not within the same old paradigms. Here's your real problem: you've selected a zero-sum career. Your success essentially requires stealing money from others and having them lose money. Your career entirely hinges on competition, so of course you will be fearful of being out-competed because that's exactly what happens in a competition paradigm. There is always someone better than you who will eat your lunch. Always. You're playing a game you can't really win, and that's not satisfying. And naturally it comes with fear of being beaten. Because you will be. The solution here is radical: change your entire entire paradigm to non-zero-sum. Make your career about creativity and value-generation rather than leeching value from other humans. This way you will have little to fear because your success will only be limited by personal creative effort and energy. I've done business in the zero-sum competitive paradigm before and it sucks compared to the non-zero-sum creative paradigm. Do you see what I mean about solving problems at new levels of consciousness? The problem is always deeper and more meta than you first imagine. You are lucky to have the success you'd had thus far. I would save up money and plan a transition to a truly creative and value-offering career. Not just a career but a life purpose. You have no idea how much of your creative potential and intelligence you are wasting on leeching money from other humans. You could be doing so much more with your life. But of course, you're afraid to move on. << That's where the true fear of failure and success arises. Not in playing poker better, but in moving on to something truly creative beyond poker. Something that will demand much more of your heart and soul. When you die, on your tombstone do you want it to be written: "This guy spent his whole life clicking on an LCD screen to leech money from others because he was too sacred to do something truly creative and profound with his life." One of the core Buddhist precepts is "right livelihood". Using meditation and yoga to leech money from others is a perversion of these holy practices. Think about it. If you're serious about growing in this area, take my Life Purpose Course which explains all this and much more in great detail.

That will reveal their lack of understanding of Spiral Dynamics. So let's see the quality of what people post. If people are mostly posting unhealthy toxic cartoonish stuff, then they're failing the test.

@sholomar Why are you linking to Breitbart here? That is like the most garbage political source. I hope you don't actually consume content from them on a regular basis.

@electroBeam Indicate which color stage you're posting about.

When you lay out the racist cheese, out come the racist rats

@Rilles And how would Red see global warming?

The biggest mindfuck comes when you realize that "The map is not the territory" is itself just a map and not the territory

Any benefit shy of Infinite Consciousness is like hunting for fleas on an elephant's ass.

What you must realize is: THAT is ego! Self-denial, being a doormat for others, people-pleasing, putting on a fake front of selflessness, trying to be a good boy or girl << ALL of that is ego. This is the ego playing the role of the selfless saint. This is not true selflessness. It's ego aping selfless behavior, which is actually very selfish and problematic. Yes, that is ego, but it's a better, more honest, more developed form of ego than what you were doing before. The trap you've fallen into is that you've adopted the selfless saint ego while in your mind harshly judging normal healthy ego which needed fro satisfying basic survival needs. Life requires that you satisfy your needs within reason in healthy ways and don't act with fake selflessness. When you try to act and pretend as though you don't have needs but really you do have needs, this becomes a big problem because it is untrue and dishonest. You are being dishonest with yourself. It is much healthier to say, "I'm horny and I need sex" than it is to say, "I'm so pure I don't need that dirty thing called sex", but then secretly you have sexual fantasies all the time. In this case the more developed and healthier form of ego is to just be honest and admit: "I need sex. I love sex! I'm like a sex-addicted animal!" << Good! That's progress. At least that's true! You always want to start from a position of honesty and realness, not fakery. If you don't worry about your own survival, who else will? The ego's function is survival. This is very necessary if you want to stay alive. Not at all. This is a big misunderstanding of detachment and ego-death. Ego-death makes you feel alive inside. What you must realize is that detachment and egolessness cannot be faked. The only way to truly be selfless is to reach such a high state of consciousness that you are directly conscious that the ego isn't real. When an ego tries to pretend to be egoless but it doesn't have sufficient consciousness to realize it isn't real, that's disaster. If you want to really grow, you must start but admitting and giving up all your spiritual fakeness. The ego loves to adopt high spiritual ideas as if it can embody them. It can't. The ego has to realize its own unreality.

All that is still under-selling psychedelics.

@No_thing__ Sorry to hear of your situation. I see a couple of issues here: 1) I wouldn't worry about personal or spiritual development right now. You don't need that extra stress. Take it easy and focus all your efforts at healing. You can return to self-actualizing once you're healed. In a sense this is a wake-up call for you to start taking your health much more seriously and be proactive about it. 2) The question of facing your death is a very serious one. The best way to achieve this quickly is through psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD. These are proven to help people cope with fear of death. What you can realize is that you are not this one life or this one body/mind/persona. So if you can get your hands on some mushrooms, they can help ease your fears about death. Death is not a bad thing. It is Infinity/Love/God. It is good to have some direct experience of this as you face life and death matters like this cancer. Spiritual understanding will give you peace. I've done so many psychedelics that I'm kinda looking forward to my death now. This human realm is so limited. Nothing of great importance will be lost. Greater things lie ahead. 3) I would focus a lot of your energy on researching various possible health solutions for cancer. Don't just blindly follow the advice of Western doctors. You need to look into alternative methods, read, research, talk to people, find healers, etc. There is much about cancer and its treatment which conventional Western doctors do not understand and will never tell you about. But of course take the medicine you need. Never give up researching. You can find some amazing stuff.

Stop! You're gonna give Mike Pence a heart attack.

To have motivation you need an exciting vision worthy of you getting up early in the morning.

Beautiful example of stage Blue Boomerism:

I use it. Hard to say how effective it is given all the other stuff I use/try. Probably not as effective as DMSA + ALA For zeolite to be effective is needs to be in synthetic nano-particle form, no merely clay. The clay is not gonna pass the blood-brain barrier, but the nano-particles should.

Use the money you make to invest in your passion until your passion becomes the source of your money.

Just start. There is no cute shortcut.

Basically ANY art can be turned into millions of dollars if you are serious enough about it. Makes little difference what the art is: singing, dancing, sculpture, films, cartoons, novels, video games, woodworking, painting, design, legos, 3D modeling, etc. Success comes from turning it into a business. No one is going to do it for you or hand you a bunch of money. You must build it.

It all depends on how it is "forced". Obviously the "force" has to be subtle and soft, not a literal quota to hit simply for sake of diversity. And the diverse people have to be well-qualified.

So did Biden. That's simply because people have become a lot more politically engaged since 2016. The outrages have polarized both sides and made politics exciting again. So more people show up to vote, both smart ones and dumb ones. Remember, majority of people don't vote at all. All you have to do to get to show up is to make politics exciting again.

The level of delusion and denial at these Trump rallies is off the charts: This is what happens when populism goes awry.

A) Many MAGA people wears masks. B) Masks aren't a guarantee of anything. Mass gatherings are still problematic with masks.

Basically any masterful artist or creative professional.
