There is an infinite number of ways to manifest Love. So I wouldn't limit it to any one profession. The whole point of Love is that is literally Infinite! Everything is a manifestation of Love. With that said, the ultimate profession is becoming a mystic/Bodhisattva because only a hardcore mystic will ever fully realize what Love is. Ordinary people, including artists, just aren't conscious enough to realize how deep Love goes. They also aren't selfless and pure enough to manifest Love in it purest form. Their bodies and minds are too corrupted by ego, culture, and defilements. So their work is nice, but it pales in comparison to the work of someone like Jesus. To manifest love at the highest levels you must become conscious of what Love truly is, and then you must completely rid yourself of yourself (see quote in my sig). And then whatever you do after that doesn't matter. This is usually only achieved by full-time monks and mystics. And even then it's rare. It's not easy for a human to perfectly reflect God. You'd basically have to surrender your entire life to do it. Which is why it's so rarely done and awesome. If you really care about Love, devote your life to the way of the Bodhisattva and you won't regret it. And make sure you do some 5-MeO-DMT along the way.

@StephenK Yeah... it's an insult to chickens

All of physical reality is it, expressed. From your body to the trees to the mass shootings you see on the news every week. To be totally selfless. Fear and lack of consciousness. Change all your selfish motivations into selfless ones.

@phoenix666 Beautiful! You got it

Nice interview by The Hill. The Hill's YT channel is great for political news.

He's a gem.

@StephenK I would gladly trade 1 chicken for Donald Trump

The other difference is the massive woo factor which will spook off most materialist clients If you're gonna announce you do Tarot, your only clients will be hippies and witches. One of the downsides of hippies and witches is that they're usually poor.

Read the Stanford article on idealism. It's explained there. Epistemtic idealism means that human knowledge is a construction of the mind. Ontological idealism means that physical reality is a construction of the mind.

Hume is nice for starting philosophy but ultimately he's wrong in many foundational ways. Heraclitus is good but there's so little of him to read. It's just a handful of lines. Epictetus is great Heidegger is too confusing for me to bother with. It's not ultimately true enough. Kant is an epistemic idealist. He doesn't go far enough. What he's missing is ontological idealism. You're better off just reading summaries of such philosopher's work on Standard Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Otherwise you'll waste years read dense books which only make you more confused than you began. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/idealism/ You have to be careful when it comes to reading philosophy because it can become a quagmire which distracts you from Truth.

Media is a business, not a truth-seeking or educational endeavor. Yang don't make them any money.

That's the whole problem of communication and abstract philosophical work. It's often impossible to really understand. Some philosophical writing is abstract that there is literally not enough information in the book to clearly know when it meant. Which is why I shower you guys with so many examples. It's only from lots of examples can you understand the abstractions. Honestly, Kant is not worth your time to read. Kant is not nearly a profound as people make him out to be. Various distinctions he makes are confused and deluded. If you want to read some good Western philosophy, try Plotinus or Berkeley.

The problem is you cannot think your way out of this. You need a change in your state of consciousness. This can be done either via a psychedelic or very intense concentration/mindfulness practice. Thinking about it will not work.

Try DPT

Of course there are a billion traps to maximizing love. That is what all of evolution is doing, and you think us humans can write it out in some kind of bulleted list? To understand how to maximize love best you must learn to tap into God Consciousness. And even then it will be messy and full of traps.

@TrynaBeTurquoise Yes, theory is important because it helps ground you from spinning out of control into delusions and fear. But it's not the only factor. There are other aspects of development, like how much emotional baggage and trauma is stored in your body.

Depends on how you do it. If you smoke massive doses, sure. But if you plug moderate doses, then no. And if you do it properly it can actually be healing.

It's all relative. There have been times where I did it only once a year. And there have been times where I did 13 days in a row. The more advanced you get the more often you can do it without needing a lot of integration time. They key is to be intuitive about. Don't get set any rigid or dogmatic schedule. Do it as you're called to do it. Sometimes you will not be called for months. And sometimes you'll be called to hit it hard several days back to back. The most I grew in my life was from 13 back to back days. Words cannot describe the levels of superhuman insight gained. The entire universe became known to me. I had to really force myself to do it back to back 13 times. Your mind won't want to do it that much. Most people would feel like they've gone insane. It requires a really good theoretical foundation in nonduality.

A friend of mine once did a Tarot reading of me. It was surprising good. It's not that it predicts your future, but rather is works by getting your own mind to clarify its own desires and obstacles. It's almost like an occult form of life coaching, where the answers don't come from the coach but from the mind of the person being coached. The mistake people make regarding Tarot is thinking of it as some fortune telling device. It's not that.

Lol You guys sure do make up some creative attacks on me. You might as well be throwing water balloons at the ocean.

Probably

The point is to maximize consciousness and love across all living beings. Don't get lost in petty issues.

You are very naive about how corporations do business & about white collar crime. The entire political system is deliberately designed to redistribute wealth upwards to the most powerful. There is nothing arbitrary about it. That is right-wing trickle down economics. Weakening the government by going the "limited government" route will only make this problem worse. There cannot be a limited government when greater levels of social organization require massively complex management systems. You cannot have all of today's modern technological luxuries while also organizing government via caveman politics. With caveman government you get caveman lifestyle.

Death is a fantasy. You cannot kill yourself because you are immortal. All you can do is change forms.

Spirituality is about facing your fears and realizing that all fear is illusion. The whole function of life is learn how to love vs fear. That is really the only thing you're doing here in life. Everything is just a variation on this theme. Take a look.
