Actually I do. If Shinzen Young cannot do it after 40 years of professional practice, your chances are basically zero. Stop giving people bullshit ideas. You are not going to reach 5-MeO-DMT levels of consciousness via meditation. This is a joke. It's like telling a dwarf that he can play in the NBA.

They feel worthless because they have invented a toxic victim ideology which spreads like cancer through our culture. And because no one showed them how to act like man. Nor are they interested in growing. It's not going to be removed. Show biz will always be polished and appearance-oriented. Show biz is not for ugly people, if you want that, go into radio or academia. The solution is to stop comparing yourself to others. Stop hinging your self-esteem on such silly things. Media is always going to reflect the lowest common denominator ideals of the culture.

Of course media will always depict the top 5% of physically best-looking humans. You cannot put an ugly human in a movie as the main character. No one will pay to see it. Of course men are idealized as well as women. The difference is, a woman's beauty is much more important to her reproductive survival than a man's. A man can compensate with character, wealth, status, leadership skills, humor, etc. A woman is not so flexible because men are so turned on by visuals.

Your chances of getting hired as an RSD instructor as basically zero. You know how many man-groupies Owen has orbiting around him for years? There is probably a waiting list 100 guys deep. Nor should you want to work at RSD. I've been told by a former RSD instructor that working for RSD is "like being in North Korea." Exact quote.

Slavery good. Taliban bad. Logic.

Peace out

Call it a hunch

You don't need validation from teachers. Take psychedelic and see.

Of course. That's called selfishness.

You're simply not understanding how power works and the realities of survival in that part of the world. Empathy doesn't matter when survival is at stake. You can't be empathetic when you're dead. There is not going to be women's rights in Afghanistan for a LONG time. Rather than being butt-hurt about it, seek to understand why that is.

Why must you make such a big deal out of it? Why not just trip and go about your practices? You are setting up a false choice which does not need to exist. 5-MeO-DMT will show in you in 15 minutes what you will not access in 15 years of yoga and meditation.

Lol God is Love.

Because the question is not just about you. It's about an other life. No one cares what you do with your own life. It's more than "just another medical procedure." It's different in kind. When you classify it as "just another medical procedure" that is you imposing your value system on others.

@Johnny Galt I'm speaking broadly about people. Not necessarily you in this thread.

@Tim R Well said

@XeRnOg Dude, vaping 20mg of DMT will produce wildly different results for people. You cannot just assume they will enter a state anywhere near your own.

Banned. Covid denial on this forum will get you banned.

Lol, if you got that, you don't need anything else.

You were given a practice. Yet you skip right over it as if it wasn't given.

Ralston understands Kant's limits. To praise a man is not to praise all of his ideas. Although I would not praise Kant so much. In my opinion Kant is overrated, as all the Western philosophers tend to be.

Blue tends to be very dutiful work/craft oriented. Like a Japanese sword craftsman. That's Blue. But passion for work is certainly not limited to any one stage. Remember, every higher stage includes all the lower stage capacities if properly integrated.

Not so fast. All laws regulate and restrict some portion of your business. We are a community so it is our business. Are you not okay with men digging up and eating the corpses of children? Well, you should say "It's none of my business."

Do not make a mockery of this work.

That is your worldview. You keep imagining shit and then acting like it exists independent of your imagination. That's the whole game you are playing. There is no other game in town.

All is Mind. That's what I say. Mind is Infinite Imagination. There are no forms outside the Mind. It's very simple. Stop making it complicated. Stop dreaming up forms which are supposed to exist outside of imagination.
