Science cannot grasp that the world is a hallucination because science itself is a part of the world, which means science is a hallucination. You are hallucinating science. Get that.

I would give him more credit than that. He was asking some good questions.

I release videos to tell you to take back your authority, which you guys stubbornly refuse to do. The only proper way to answer existential questions is directly, alone, by yourself.

God can act dumb. But that is not its highest capacity. You can crawl on your belly to the grocery store. But you can also walk. The point is to realize you've been crawling on your belly your whole life.

But that ego of yours does not have an infinite IQ. It does dumb things all the time. And the more ego you have the more dumb things you do. A) Suffering is already a bias. It is the mother of all biases. B) Preferences and choices cause suffering. The whole point of making a choice is to minimize suffering, otherwise no choice would be necessary. Making choices is all about survival. That certainly is a bias. And the only reason any organism is attracted to or repelled by anything is survival of one kind or another. Survival is not dumb. It's an incredibly sophisticated and subtle thing. Even the colors you like make a difference to your survival. Colors tell you what you should and shouldn't eat, what can kill you, who to have sex with, etc.

@Stovo The problem here is that you expect to rely on some authoritative answer, like from me. But you cannot know whether my answer is actually true because I could be wrong or lying. So the only solution is for you to discover Truth for yourself. What is actually True?

Point noted. We def don't want that.

Stop living from fear.

Devilry is blinder.

But you won't get the hippie fumes.

Locking this because OP is not open to changing his position on this matter.

Yes, you are right. I will try to set a better example. I have been guilty of vulgarities. We do shut down toxic Red Pill and Black Pill threads here. And we will continue to do that. We also want to make this place more appealing for women and I haven't done the best job of that in the past. I will try to be less biased on that.

I think the continuous nature of things is just a consequence of infinity. An infinite thing tends to be continuous since it is infinitely sub-divisible.

This is still a subtle duality. You posit a substratum vs its contents. This is duality. You are the contents as much as the substratum. Formlessness is form. You are the dream. No, it's not merely for the sake of enjoyment. Some states are awakened states while others are not. You cannot awaken without a state change. So what you seek is a change in state. So don't poo-poo state change. All states are Absolute Truth, but not all states are aware of this fact. The default sober human state is not Absolute-aware. The point of spiritual work is to change that. I am not saying you have to explore all states. This would be impossible anyway since they are infinite in number. But you should care about state since it runs your whole sense of reality and quality of life. The idea of ignoring states, as they didn't matter, is absurd. That is terrible advice for newbies.

It's designed with infinite intelligence. The Universe is literally Absolute Perfection. This requires an awakening to see. And when you get it, it will blow your mind.

Be ware the cult of libertarianism. It is sneakier than totalitarianism.

My health situation has severely restricted such things.

LOVE! I never said that. You can manipulate reality. That's what ego is for. Ego is magic too. Nothing is random at all. It's a perfect, intelligent design. The Universe is working to maximize LOVE for all. But that doesn't mean your ego will get its selfish way.

I have read it. I just don't agree with it. I don't consider Ingram God-realized. Cessation is imaginary. You are imagining it right now. You imagine the book too, and the guy who wrote it. Be careful who you assume has realized God. I wouldn't trust any Buddhist.

Yes, but it's being corrupted by the ego.

@Tangerinedream I do say vulgar things. But context. The dude just cherrypicked stuff from thousands of things I've said as if that represents my attitude about dating women. It does not at all.

A general lack of maturity and responsibility. Be careful that you don't screw up your life.

That is a full time job. But, hey, if you enjoy it, have at it.

The problem is that age does not guarantee maturity or readiness. Some folks are ready at 21, others are not ready at 40. I would be okay with a limit of 21 for all psychedelics, similar to alcohol. But of course it's not like people are going to obey that limit, so there's no point to it in practice. Most of my audience is age 21-35. I don't recommend taking psychedelics before age 21.

You gotta bridge that gap so that being attractive (game) is just a natural part of who you are. This comes with practice. If your game is artificial and inauthentic then it's bad game. The best game doesn't look like an act. What is artificial at first becomes natural after years of practice. Don't expect to be all natural early on.
