Desperate people need desperate measures. An addict is not in any position to do serious philosophical work. They just need rescuing from their inner demons. This is good and proper, but it is not the advanced work we do here. This is the difference between therapy and philosophy. There is nothing wrong with therapy but it is not philosophy.

It's bad in the sense that you can invent a fantasy of your identity. Identity is a very tricky, complex issue. There can be many disorders of confused identity. This is nothing exclusive to the trans issue. But the mind easily invents fantasies and identities for itself which may not correspond to any kind of grounded reality. You want to make sure that your identity is not a self-deception. There is a serious concern that trans people have an identity disorder in not accepting themselves as they are -- wanting and needing to be someone else. And then leftist politics and group-think can feed into that fantasy, making you feel like it's not a fantasy when it is. You have to take this issue out of the domain of politics and introspect very seriously into the nature of your identity. What are you?

No. It is a group for dysfunction people who can barely keep their shit together. Such people are clueless about God. They are too psychologically broken to do serious existential work. They are useful in the sense that if you are a dysfunctional addict then these groups can help you reform your ways, so you stop being a total degenerate. And then there is a chance that you can do some serious spiritual work.

Depends on what you mean they were. Real as cities? Sure. Real as in advanced hi-tech that was lost. No. The Grahman Hancock theories are nothing more than fantasies. Zero evidence for it. I have no problem buying that the Pyramids were built through sheer physical labor and simple clever tricks, with no fancy high tech.

Pyramid IS the evidence. Haha

Oh yeah, I watched all those. The shows are very gimmicky. It's not for real pickup, it's for reality TV audiences.

I know all your arguments. But... Don't you think Egyptians were clever enough to invent clever ways of doing these things? If that was your whole life you would invent all sorts of clever tricks for it.

Maybe the IE program changed? When I took it years ago it was a single video that was a nothing-burger.

That's fine. Not asking people to believe in God.

If you look good enough you can just collect phone numbers with no game and like 1 in 10 girls will sleep with you. I have a good looking friend who just runs a script on every girl he sees that he finds attractive to get a phone number. He only runs the script. And he gets girls fly in to sleep with him because he is good looking. He is just a script machine and he will run that script on any girl he sees, any place, any time, no matter what. Lol

It has zero resemblance to my videos. It's mostly just a gimmick to get you to sign up to his live programs. It does not teach you yoga.

My real name is Hugh Jass.

"I will date a gorilla as long as the sex is amazing".

Not my name.

My ticket:

As I said, a stubborn paradigm.

Atheism is not a religion but it is a stubborn worldview/paradigm.

That's not what atheism means. Atheism is the belief that there is no God.

Even if you don't have ego you still have preferences, biases, values, goals, a lifestyle, and a personality. The idea that an enlightened person just gets along with anyone and everyone is a fairytale. Relationships are way more tricky than that. Don't forget that your partner could just be a mentally unhinged nutcase. That is common enough that you better be prepared for it. Not everyone is mature or healthy enough to even be in a relationship, and it takes two to make it work.

How about 5g of 5-MeO-DMT per month? That's what I tested.

No. It was more like Italy vs someone else. I forget.

Values are where it really counts. Imagine you value health and spirituality and truth but your girlfriend values socializing, drinking, and material pursuits like luxury vacations. That is not going to work. No matter how conscious you are, you still have values you wish to live by. In fact, the more conscious you are the less you are willing to compromise on core values like health, consciousness, truth, honesty, peace of mind, etc. The less corrupt you are the less compatible you are with corrupt people. And most people are corrupt. There is also incompatibility in terms of life goals, personality types and sex drive. Life goals is stuff like wanting kids vs not. Personality type is like introvert vs extrovert. Sex drive can vary a lot.

This makes a lot of assumptions about there being a "here" and so on.
