Nice. Cheers!

That's so ewwww... Why not learn some assembly code while you're at it and not even use files.

Pets are little slaves. Contemplate on your slaving ways.

Dude, broke people in Africa and India are having 5 kids at a time. Stop being a crybaby. If humans had your attitude mankind would have never lived past caveman days.

There are traps for logical people and traps for heart-centered people. Don't worry. There is enough traps for everyone! Everyone gets 50 traps for free! No one will be left trapless so long as God is in charge!

What should give you much pause is to consider that these New Age people are always hyper-intuitive and proclaim the infallibility of intuition and love. But then you look at their beliefs and they believe the most ridiculous and delusional bullshit. They got their through their infallible intuition and love. They have so much love that they will put on a MAGA hat and vote for a fascist rapist. Every New Ager who talks about love and intuition should be put before a firing squad.

I mean it's easy to see that treating animals poorly is really no different than treating humans poorly. There is no difference between slaughtering a chicken and a human baby. They suffer equally. This can be understood sitting in an armchair.

It is not always right. The alternative is to test and seriously question your ideas and conclusions -- which is exactly what ego most wants to avoid. If you deeply see that it is not always right then you will be motivated to question and test it. If you feel it's always right you will rampage through life like a bull through a china shop. It's the difference between quoting AI blindly or double-checking it against other sources.

Nope. It's easy to see. People just don't want to look at it because they have other agendas.

From the armchair a serious mind can intellectualize that it could easily be on the chopping block in this life. Mind can be used. Mind can be misused.

Lolz. Lower mind is so predictable. Like a herd of zombies at a Walmart on Black Friday.

Yes, nice distinguishing. Although in general, any kind of veganism is a higher perspective than the default of eating whatever tastes best. Veganism requires a development of empathy and selflessness which does not exist by default. But then this can bring with it a moral righteousness and crusading, which is low.

I'm sure Joe's audience will eat it up. The more anti-mainstream and wild it sounds, the better. Get that reptile spiritual brain all horned up with visions of flying through wormholes in the 5th dimension while wearing a MAGA hat and owning the Libs.

That's exactly the kind of gaslighting you should expect from an epistemic pervert.

Okay, that's fine. Discuss away. It's a great case study of lower perspective. Perhaps you can mine it for that.

Not really. I engaged with it at a meta, epistemic level. I don't get into the weeds of the content of Christianity because that is already an error. The bottom line is that I do not care nor respect what any religion says because it is a distraction from understanding God.

No, I mean any method that works for you. Meditation, self-inquiry, retreats, yoga, etc. You have to try them to see what suits your genetics. Astral projection is mostly a diversion. But if you are talented at it maybe it can have value for you. If you don't have the talent I would not bother sinking much time into it.

Don't promote that trash heap here.

Simply put, there is too much nonsense and corruption within Christianity, or any religion, to bother seriously engaging with it on any technical level. This would be like trying to do scholarly work on Lord of the Rings. It's unncessary. It is easier to just throw it all away. And if your mind is unwilling to throw it all away, that itself is the problem. Because God-Realization has zero need of Christianity or Jesus. If you're not willing to throw it all away then you're not serious about truth-seeking because you shouldn't care about this story, this person, or that teaching, or that scripture. That's all human stuff. God is beyond the human and does not care about any human forms or ideas.

I don't use the cloud, I have my own private intranet system.

@gengar I'm sorry for your health struggles. I have serious ones too. Unfortunately life doesn't owe us happiness or a good outcome. Pursue more consciousness and see what you discover. That's really the only real thing.

You can do that with OneNote or other software. Just keep the file locations on the stick. I do that for example with the book I write. I have a micro stick with all the book files and I can work on it on any PC. You can also set up an auto-backup system to save you stick's files to cloud storage once in a while. But only using files without an overarching software is not good. You want a fast way to naviagate all the text and links. And you want a search function.

It's hard to answer because mistakes are an important part of the work. But the gist of it is: Be more rigorous with psychedelic protocol. Don't assume you will be safe. Do not believe any New Age claim unless demonstrated. Do not assume any spiritual teacher or guru has a full understanding of God or Consciousness or Awakening. Be extra mindful of spiritual fantasies and parroting stuff you read in books or hear in talks. If it isn't part of your direct experience, regard it as speculation. Think through everything for yourself and be mindful of all the "humanness" that infests all spiritual teachings. Be extra mindful of developing a spiritual ego.

The infinite IS the finite. Yup.

You can easily dream an alternate timeline, so that's not good enough.
