Indeed. To be precise, I mean a range of states. Awakening is not one state, it is a vast range of states. Psychedelics. You can. Psychedelics are not effective for some people due to genetic factors. The psychedelic can change your state but doesn't necessarily elevate you into the Awakened state range. This may require finding the right type of psychedelic, which most people are unwilling to do. Some people have such a low baseline state that even psychedelics are not enough, or require very high doses. Some people's minds are so confused and murky that it takes many iterations of psychedelics to clear up the confusion, emotional baggage, trauma, wrong beliefs, ideology, etc. Your state can be stuck at low due to trauma, emotional baggage, fear, or ideological attachment. So that stuff needs to be worked out before one is able to access higher states. Do not underestimate the huge role genetics plays in one's state. State is predominately genetic.

The way I define my terms, unconsciousness is a state of consciousness, just like zero volume is the state of a dial volume knob.

You are always in some state of consciousness. Examples of different states include: Default waking Deep dreamless sleep Dreaming Drunk High on weed Dizzy Sleepy Sick with fever Enraged Depressed Anxious Manic Etc

There is definitely BS on New Age channels. You gotta be selective about it. A lot of credible research has been done on remote viewing and ESP. Check out the work of Dean Radin and others. I will not supply you with studies. Go and make the effort to find it. This is not a topic where I will spoon feed you stuff. Either you are serious enough to put in the effort to research it, or you are not.

@Clarence I understand your point. I was trying to underscore the goofiness vibe of this issue. Politics is all about striking the right vibe. There are serious vibe problems with the trans issue. For example, tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms is a huge vibe problem. And I feel that leftists do not appreciate this vibe problem enough. And then snowflakery on this matter makes leftists very vulnerable to exploitation by right wingers. I understand leftists just want minorities to be respected. But this will not happen so easily. Whether you like it or not, "chicks with dicks" is how much of the voting public sees the trans issue.

Indeed, you will discover that all your ideas about reality are shit. Which is why he doesn't want to look.

Bottom? Market is likely to go much lower next quarter as Trump's chaos impacts earnings. The effects of Trump have not impacted earnings yet. That rain-cloud is on the horizon. Don't be a greedy sucker. Protect your capital.

I once had a coaching client who made six-figures as a pro online poker player. But it was a grueling full-time job. He spent 10 hours a day at the PC playing and it was so tiring he hired me to coach him how to transition out of it. He became a personal gym trainer instead. It's possible, but it requires serious skill and it's not glamorous. It's a grinding job.

Socialism and weird gender stuff IS bad framing. But it's more than that. It's bad framing because it is also bad utopian policy. People don't want utopian dreams. They want practical survival stuff. Again this goes back to the simple principle of: read the room. Leave the goofy shit at the door. Drag shows for kids, or men having periods, or defund the police are examples of goofy shit. People don't like weird and goofy, they like classic Coke. Leftists are like New Coke with pumpkin spice.

Yes. Hence stop freaking them out with woke socialist crap.

That's sorta my position. Not conversative in the regressive sense, but in the grounded, pragmatic, realistic sense. Stop wasting energy on silly utopian ideas like chicks with dicks being equal in sports to women, or socialism, or endless immigration, or endless deficit spending. That shit is killing the Dems. These are impractical positions that will never succeed.

You can do some of that. But you cannot talk a man out of his level of development. It is much either to talk someone down into low development than up into high development. The devil whispering in your ear has more force than the angel. Because his words tickle the devil within.

Number is division.

@Emerald You can't bluster nor bull your way through lack of human development. This isn't merely a PR or leadership problem. This is fundamentally a problem of lack of education, intelligence, and development. And that will not be fixed with any kind of clever political manuvering. Humans severely lack intelligence and development. Which is why leftists will continue to lose and conservatives continue to win.

Of course

My ass is not that phat.

@Thought Art Yeah, Mishlove has a great channel. I will share it on the blog soon.

How do you know it doesn't work? There are many credible stories of the government using remote viewers for espionage. It's not just hippie stuff. The research on remote viewing is compelling and credible, if you bother to study it.

You are not gonna overcome the gravitational pull of xenophobia and allergy to wokeness so easily. Lefties need to read the room. Stuff like DEI, trans sports, weird gender issues, and open border is killing leftist chances of winning. The reason the right can get away with being shamelessly themselves is because they are skiing down hill. Progressives are skiing up hill.

Don't know yet. I'll figure it out as I go along.

When you combine serious progressive economic policies with diversity candidates, you lose the culture war. The stench of "wokeness" becomes too pungent.

I think it requires a new bold Democrat leader. Someone new like Obama was back in 2008. I'm not saying Obama was an economic populist, I'm saying he was a fresh face. Dems need someone new who's like Bernie but younger and not a self-described socialist. This is about leadership. The party itself will not change. Someone like an Obama or a Trump has to come along and force it to change. Bernie and AOC are not going to do it. AOC is too unappealing to much of the country. It needs to be someone more mature and seasoned. And not a woman of color. It needs to be a white dude because people are too racist, sexist, and xenophobic to vote for an AOC.

That's the point!

So I've decided to give this tour a shot. The details are still yet to be determined but tentatively I'm hoping to visit about 10 cities in the next year around the US. This tour would happen in 3 phases: Phase #1: Los Angeles, San Fran, Seattle Phase #2: Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, NY Phase #3: Austin, Atlanta, Miami Perhaps not in exactly that order, but something akin to that. We will adjust cities based on demand. But Phase #1 seems fairly certain to happen in that order. It would work as follows: I would fly into the city on Friday Around 6-7pm on Friday we would meet in a hotel conference room where I would give a talk on some new topic followed by some group exercises and Q&A. This would all last about 2-3 hrs long in total, with about 10-30 people attending (depending on demand). This would perhaps be followed by a dinner at a local eatery, depending on crowd size. Probably limited to 10 people max as it gets unwieldy with a party over 10. Cost: estimated around $30/person Cost of attending dinner: some amount just to keep the group to 10 max + you pay for your dinner I would visit at least 1 city per month, maybe as much as 1 city every 2 weeks. The schedule would vary to avoid conflict with holidays but the meetings would be held on Friday evenings. Locations outside USA are too cost and time prohibitive right now. Europe might be possible if and when Phase #3 is successfully completed, but that's too early to talk about yet. I'm doing this in phases because I have no idea yet how many people would show up in which cities. If fewer than 10, it's not really worth doing due to the expenses of travel, hotel, meeting room, car, and time. 10-30 would be ideal for now. More than 30 requires larger, more expensive meeting rooms but I doubt we'll have this problem at this stage. If there is interest I might also design a one-day mini-workshop which I would teach on the following day: Saturday. With the idea being that if you like the Friday talk and you want to do a more in-depth training the following day, that might cost $100-$200 for let's say a 4-hour training. This extra mini-workshop day would help cover my costs of travel and it would be a good learning experience for you. But for the mini-workshop to be practical there would have to be at least 5 people paying. Otherwise it's not worth the hassle. The trick in planning this out is that I have no idea how many people would be interested in this in each of the above cities, let alone show up. The only way to find out is to actually schedule the dates and do it. So I will probably be making concrete plans shortly for Los Angeles, San Fran, & Seattle. After those 3 are complete we could assess how things went, make improvements, and schedule new cities. Or, if not enough people show up, then Phase #1 will be the end of this experiment. Let me know what ya'll think. This would probably only work if those who want to attend can convince 1 or 2 friends to come as well. One of the biggest benefits of these meet ups would be the ability to network and make friends with self-actualizers in your city. So you don't just get to meet me, but you get to make some new local friends who are into this work who you can hang out with for years to come. I'm excited to do some talking and socializing in the non-digital realm

Starting bid is $150. It's not an expensive piece.
