You are basically asking how to meditate. Practice meditation. There are many various techniques.

I accessed consciousness so deep and horrifying that I realized humans are not ready for it and it cannot be pushed on them. Also, I lost/hurt several girlfriends just from pushing truth on them. And the pain of that made me realize that truth is my value and not anyone else's. It is important to respect another's values rather than pushing yours on them. I have stopped pushing truth on people. I only communicate it in my teachings for those who like my work.

I used to think that, but no more. Most people should stay asleep. It took me 40 years to realize how unique I was in my value of truth and reality. The #1 key to all this work is that you have to want it and love it.

Of course. The only explanation for why everyone is not doing this work is because they were never interested in truth, metaphysics, or reality, and they never will be no matter what. People love being lost in the dream. They are dream addicts. I spoke to an ex girlfriend recently and she literally told me that she had an experience of no-self, and quickly removed it from her mind because it freaked her out. And she is a very spiritual girl who listens to all this work, not a normie. One time she tried a tiny bit of 5-MeO-DMT and was freaking out trying to literally run out of the house. People running away from God as fast as they can To face Truth takes crazy vision and maturity.

Values alignment is the critcial thing. But also your personalities and life goals gotta align. You have to be able to get along fairly effortlessly without constant drama and fighting. And you need to be able to resolve disputes when they do arise. These fundamentals needs to be present underneath all the romanic feelings because the romance will wane.

Anything can work depending on where you are in life. Reading Playboy could help. It all depends. Just go watch Tolle for that advice.

I'm mostly fine with it. A bit simple for my taste. The problem is it never made me passionate to do the work or even read his books fully. It's like spiritual oatmeal when I could be eating a juicy bacon burger with special sauce.

@Yimpa Your rascality has reached 11.

Nice share

This is a trap. The problem with this overly simplistic take is that you cannot stop thinking. Life will force you to think, and if you don't train how to think properly you will end up thinking improperly and fall into self-deception. Improper thinking is the default. No one is born a great thinker. If you follow that guy's advice you will end up an enlightened anti-vax, Jews-run-the-world, election-was-stolen, Trump voter. Also what this guy misses is that thinking is an art that can connect you to the beauty and intelligence of God. Thinking can be a spiritual activity in itself and it generates valid and useful insight. I agree that reading philosophy books is largely a waste of time. Real philosophy is done in your mind.

That doesn't work so well because most good songs take 30 seconds just to build up to the good part. So it's important to sample the middle.

For Love.

Liberalism ain't going anywhere. It's just obscured by noisy fools.

Be very careful here. What you consider "cutting all fantasies" could itself be the fantasy. Don't overlook that negativity and doomerism is a kind of fantasy. Just because dating is difficult does not mean you shouldn't do it, can't be successful at it, or that it's not worthwhile. The most difficult aspects of life can also be the most rewarding. Building a business is also hell. So what? Do it anyway. That's life. Don't expect everything to be easy. People who have it easy with dating will have it hard in other areas. No one has an easy life. I am not good-looking, I am super introverted, so dating was very challenging for me. And yet I still had some success and it was very worthwhile. Really facing reality means going out there and dating. Not telling yourself why you'll fail.

We have a dedicated Russia/Ukraine thread. Please move any Ukraine discussion there. This thread is about US Trumpist threat.

I respect Mearsheimer but that doesn't mean I agree with him. He makes some good points but you should not adopt his view wholesale. It's just one facet to consider.

White hair is kinda cool and unique. Embrace it. Be glad you got hair at all.

They are good to hear a few times, but not endlessly like on that channel. They have become a broken record.

Yes, I did. Their perspective is good to hear. But you should not be listening only to them for your news on Ukraine, Gaza, etc. That channel became a massive echochamber since I shared it. They always tow the same one-sided line with no fresh or alternative perspective. It's the same 3 fucking guys who are all closedminded to other ways of looking at. Vlad Vexler is much more reasonable. But again, no one guy or channel should be your sole source. Listen to guys who are pro and anti to get a mix of views.

If you are doing a formal retreat, they will take care of the food for you.

@integral Haha! That's surprisingly good. Metaphysical lyrics are tops!

You gotta be joking. That's what this whole war is about.

I don't mean forcing it on them. I mean Russians wising up and open their minds to Western liberalism as good for them.
