Neuroscience does not understand consciousness, so that is a poor source to cite here. Regardless of the free will debate, there is clearly a difference between egoic and egoless action. But actually, neuroscience could tell you there is a difference between egoic behavior and non-egoic behavior. They are neurologically different.

No. There is a difference betweening doing things consciously vs mechanically. When a human builds a nest, he thinks it is his. This is different from a bird. It is a subtle, conceptual difference, not a material difference. Ego claims things. Animals don't have much ego even though they behave selfishly instictively. There is an important difference between ego and just mechanical survival instinct. Humans do things very personally. That's the difference. Ego makes the impersonal personal. You are saying, "Isn't all of life egoless?" And the answer is clearly No, since humans are full of ego.

Animals do things mechanically that aid their survival without consciously knowing what they are doing or why. When a cat pees on a tree to mark its territory, it doesn't understand it is marking territory. But it is still effective at keeping others away. When a baby cries, the baby does not know why it is crying, but it still succeeds at it. You do not need a conscious understanding of property to defend a nest, the nest can just be defended mechanically, which is what birds do. The bird is not sitting around thinking, "this is MY nest!"

Your notion of Platonic is too narrow. Platonic doesn't mean asexual. It means higher metaphysical. Google AI: Romanitc love is a subset of Platonic Love.

An animal does not have a concept of ownership or property, but it does fight over things it needs to survive. I can eat your cake without ever thinking it is "my" cake. You can pee on a tree without ever thinking, "this tree is now mine".

These kind of videos are just rage-bait to get views. There is no meaningful content there. Keep in mind that many comments under this kind of content is just bots creating fake outrage and drama to drive up views. Do not waste your time trying to argue against it.

I never claimed that I am immune to fear or negative emotions. I have a very deep understanding of God, but that doesn't grant me special immunity from horrific things. I have to avoid grizzly bears just like everyone else. Just because I know a grizzly bear is God does not mean I am cool with him biting me. Yogis and monks claim otherwise.

It is not strictly carnivore because it is just impossible to sustain carnivore-only for 5 years straight. But my ideal diet is carnivore. The closer to carnivore I eat, the better I feel. Carnivore is also pricey on the budget. I don't want to spend too much money on food.

Good! I see that some of you here are starting to get it.

That is true by definition. But the child has not transcended fear, the child is simply naive. If the child knew what a grizzly bear could do, he would be affraid. It is possible to not fear a grizzly bear for real, but a child has not acheived that. Frankly, I don't know if any human alive has acheived that.

Not if I add a bay leaf to your coffee.

Thanks guys. I'm happy the clips are useful to you.

Yes, you can fear the unknown, but that is not what I was saying. I was saying that a child doesn't fear a grizzly bear because the child doesn't even know what a grizzly bear can do.

Why is this even a question? Of course you should. Just do it safely and carefully, and don't expect it to fix the rest of your life. It won't fix you. But it will show you God. If you want a better material life, psychedelics will not give it to you. You must build it manually through serious effort.

If you actually imagine the process of death, it is terrifying. People who don't fear death have never seriously imagined what it is, how serious it is. Fools often fear the least and end up getting themselves killed. To properly fear something you first have to know what it is.

This is a complex issue that involves dozens of factors. I mentioned one factor out of dozens. China and Japan are liberal relative to Afghanistan. Notice that the more developed these nations get, the more they liberalize. In 100 years China will be very liberal. China is conservative because most of its people lived in poverty until very recently. That will not last long.

This is the same health condition I've struggled with. Carnivore diet was the most effective. Eating standard health foods with a leaky gut causes more harm than good. Low dose naltrexone (LDN) is also effective at curtailing immune system overreaction. Has he tried LDN? That's a low hanging fruit. If Bryan has an autoimmune disorder, there is no way he is even in the top 20% of healthy people on this planet. None of his gimmickry can overpower a proper autoimmune disorder. You can't supplement or diet your way out of it.

Oneness cannot have a point outside of itself. From what I understand, the purpose of human life is entertainment and distraction from Omniscience. Omniscience gets very boring after a while. God gets bored to death being Omniscient and decides to play games with itself by dreaming non-Omniscient states. Why would that be outside of Perfection? Is a video game any less perfect just because you can walk off a cliff? Does every cliff need an invisible fence around it for the world to be perfect? The decisions you make ARE God too. When you manifest something, that is God working through you. Your desires for things IS God. God is all things. God is always selecting whether to appear as this thing or that thing. God has to select to appear as a cat or a dog or a chair, or whatever. You, as a human, also have to select what kinds of things you want or don't want in your life. You building your life is like a microcosm of God building the universe by selecting some things over others.

All I'm saying is you are hallucinating the burn mark. You are like the guy in the dream saying, "Look! This can't be a dream because I have a burn mark!"

So you imagine. The mistake you are making is that you are imagining imagination as some stupid, childish thing. Imagination is as precise and concrete as a bullet flying towards your head.

An underdeveloped mind seeks control in order to feel safe. So it looks for control over trivial aspects of Reality like light switches or kitchen drawers.

That is good enough. Don't overcomplicate a simple thing. 0.2ml is too much, reduce it to a few drops.

It literally does.

In a weird way, if you eat poison that is part of God's Perfection. But God gave you a mind so that you can use it. Don't blame your irresponsibility on God. God gave you the freedom to be foolish. Just like you can jump off a cliff in a video game. Is that the purpose of the game? No. But you can do it.

That is the illusion. There is no object permananence. The past is imaginary. Turning your head in a dream does not make it any realer. You can turn your head in VR too.
