I disagree with that. Value mismatch and growing apart are natural things. They should not be framed as mistakes the man made. "If only I gamed her harder we would not have grown apart" is a really wrong way of thinking about relationships.

That's how great things are created. It's called ambition. You need the ambition to believe you will create something no one has created before. It is hard to understand this unless you have created something truly new and great yourself. When you act humble you will never break through the insane group-think of mankind. You don't understand the insane standards I have. It's those standards that drive all of my work. It is like when James Cameron makes Titanic, he has insane standards that make him look like an asshole. Because he is trying to create Titanic. His job is not to be your mother. My job is to find the deepest understandings of Reality. That is not easy to do and has a cost. I accept full responsibility for that cost.

The future can be better. That's what I work on every day.

I don't know. I can't really change my personality. It would not be natural. I can't pretend to be a soft, lovey Matt Kahn character. That's not who I am. However, I have matured a lot and will continue to do so. I am getting much wiser in how I interact with humans and how I handle their curveballs and drama. I have become much wiser at handling egos. I now communicate in ways to avoid triggering ego. I see what will trigger the ego and avoid saying it, where in the past I would not. So I am less provocative now.

I don't claim that. Only with psychedelics. Which is true. I have never claimed that. I never claimed that. Yes, I have no traumas. That's easy because I never had much to begin with. Never said that. I make mistakes and do unconscious things sometimes. Especially if you consider 60,000 casual forum posts. Yeah, you will find sloppy stuff I said. Especially when you strip it of all context as in this thread. Don't forget this forum is a casual place. Not a book. Not a formal work. You are interacting with me here casually, like a friend to friend conversation. These are not professional conversations. If you expect that, you will be disappointed and confused. The biggest issue I see is that people don't know how to distinguish casual conversation from professional communication or formal work. A PhD scientist can write a formal research paper and then talk shit at the bar with collegues. But anything I post on this forum gets treated like a formal research paper and used against me in perpetuity. This is why politicians never talk truthfully with you. Because you will use all their words to hang them. So they only do fake PR-speak.

You and I are literally identical. All of you guys are me.

It's different in that a much deeper consciousness of God is reached. God is realized more and more deeply, to shocking levels. Such stunning levels of God are realized that nonduality looks like child's play. Nondualists cannot even imagine these degrees of God exist.

All intolerance is intolerance of the finite self to Infinity. Survival requires that you not tolerate the things that will kill you.

Tate's immaturity isn't a bug, it's a feature. It appeals to millions of immature teens. That's who follows him. Owen, ironically, is too mature for most teens. The misogyny IS the selling point.

To me this is unserious. You want to take a serious practice intended to generate Moksha and use it for some kind of shallow self-improvement.

@Jayson G With that attitude you will not be serious enough to stick with Kriya yoga. Yoga requires seriousness and commitment, not this luke-warm thing you are doing. Kriya yoga will transform your life. But if you can't appreciate that, don't do it.

@Shermaningeorgia You are nitpicking a thing that doesn't need to be. Missing a valid war is not our problem. This is like me worrying what I will do if I find 3 naked girls in my bed. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I have yet to see such a case.

It is impossible to know someone's moral character in seconds unless they are just extremely low consciousness and awful from the start. I don't claim to have this ability. I have a narrower ability to see through people who are talking about specific subjects like ontology or epistemology or God. That's very different from knowing their moral character. But if I see someone like Trump or Tate speaking, I can immediately identify them as full of shit. That takes me seconds. But most people are not as extreme as Trump or Tate. People can be extremely good at hiding their moral depravity. Tate and Trump don't even try to hide it. It is silly to expect me to know of Sadia's affairs from watching one interview of hers. This is an insane expectation you guys place on me. Frankly, I don't even care about her affairs. It is not relevant to anything I posted. If you discover tomorrow that Sadia has sex with donkeys, it would not be relevant to the insights shared in her interview. Do you understand that? I share insights with you, not moral characters. You can never predict someone's sex life from an interview. I'm sure many otherwise good and smart people are total sex perverts, and you will not know that easily.

I do not buy the idea of pre-emptive strikes. This is BS that aggressive countries invented to justify starting wars and blaming the defending side. People who talk about pre-emptive strikes are war-mongers.

If the US is invaded then I am okay with war. I said wars that US starts.

I don't consider those wars. Those are like strategic bombings. Intervention in a genocide is okay by me. But that's not what the US does.

It all depends on whether the marriage is serious or not. If it's a serious marriage, don't do it. But if the marriage is truly already over, then there's more leeway here. Some marriages are mostly in name only. The metric is: don't be the one to break up a solid marriage.

Psychedelics can also amplify ego, so that doesn't necessarily make it bad. There are costs with changing consciousness rapidly. You get both good and bad.

Yes, I'm well aware of this. Tate definitely has some strong Red vibes. Trump does too. They both blend Red and Orange in a confusing mix.

They all do that.

Stage Red is more like the Mob.

If he can run a web cam business he can run a boiler room. Learning to trade stock is quite easy and Tate can learn that.

Most people don't think at all. Sure, those are huge factors. But I'm talking about healthy loving marriage, not marriage of necessity. Most marriage becomes a matter of necessity and obligation.

Not much. Red is very barbaric. It's pre-capitalist developmentally. Sure, capitalists have some Red elements, but mostly Orange and toxic Orange. I think it's easy to conflate toxic Orange with Red. Why not? Wolf of Wall Street. Jordan Belfort is basically Andrew Tate. Wall Street is full of scammers.
