@Ero Long before the elections.

Remember, all spirituality works this way: if you don't do the practices, not only will you not understand it, you will definitely misunderstand it and it will worsen your life.

This is toxic garbage and it has nothing to do with spirituality. It's all just justifications of a wounded ego stuck in victim mentality building an ideological narrative to protect its own survival. It's sad to see people taking such narratives seriously. If you keep watching stuff like this, it will corrupt your mind and make it impossible to grow your consciousness to the highest levels.

No clickbait

Drugs are imaginary.

@Jed Vassallo Should last for years.

@Aakash Way too much theorizing. As I already said, ego is a contracted state of consciousness. Changing the state makes it go away.

Zen is a formal religion with various titles and so forth, just like any religion has. A certification is only as valid as you imagine it to be.

Devil is a technical term in this work. It simply means someone who is aggressively selfish, unaware of it, and even proud of it.

Yes! I think you are framing this whole issue in an unresourceful way. Rather than thinking of it as "My death is coming", forget about that and just focus on being really CURIOUS! Be so curious about what consciousness is that death becomes irrelevant. Who cares about death when there is God to explore? Frame it in this positive way. When tripping, replace fear with curiosity.

Don't overthink it. It's certainly not done through logic. Logic is there to serve survival. For me it just comes naturally as a means to my ultimate goal: Truth, Love, and understanding. If you just desire Truth, and Love, and understanding enough, and work towards that, eventually ego-death will happen and it won't be a big deal. Psychedelics help a lot with getting confortable with ego death. That is one of their most useful features. You can become so comfortable with it that you don't bat an eye when it happens. Otherwise try years of Kriya yoga.

Simple: just do the practices. You are right, that video cannot be understood at your present level of consciousness. Like I said, it took me some 15 years to get there. And I used some powerful tools along the way without which it would have been impossible for me. Basically almost no human being is capable of understanding it. Because it is requires transhuman levels of consciousness. Getting to the bottom of What is reality? is a HUGE undertaking. You are asking to know how the world is created. This cannot be understood from within the human mind. Yes, it is very frustrating at times. Psychedelics make it 1000x easier.

Systems rarely just collapse, they tend to evolve into more conscious systems. There are schooling styles which mix learning with play. They just aren't widely adopted because we have a factory farm education system right now. But that will change.

"Bad person" is an egoic judgment.

What is the point of this devil question?

A) I don't know what you mean by that. You are painting with a broad brush here. People experience and realize different things. Nondual consciousness is not a state of ego, it is the absence of ego, and the realization that your true nature is nothing and everything, or infinite, or God. There are many people here who are unaware of many things. Just because they have some degree of realization does not mean they are aware of the deeper layers. Ego dissolution also has layers and degrees of depth to it. The ego is a complex and relentless structure. It takes a lot of deconstruction work to fully get beyond it. B) Do not start yet another nonduality debate.

The point is, all that is relative. They are "terrorists" to YOU because you got a survival agenda. To themselves they are not terrorists, they are defenders of their way of life. In every case a human is simply defending his way of life. Israel's system is not to kill but to carve out a homeland for themsleves, yes. Killing is a byproduct of that. I do not support what Israel is doing, but that's my agenda.

This is hilarious: As someone in the YT comments said:

It's a state of consciousness. When that state changes, ego goes poof! like it never was.

@Stephen Go deeper! You have merely scratched the surface. The Truth will become obvious at some point. There is no how to Truth. Truth simply is all that is. God is not an idea.

Sheela was a devil, plain and simple.

This just not how reality works. Basically every president makes many killing decisions. Name a "good" president who hasn't killed to serve their agenda?

@Courtney The answers to your questions are also your own imagination There isn't a difference between you imagining others and them being "real". That difference is itself imaginary.

It's not that things are designed to be destroyed, it's that reality is designed to maximize diversity and beauty. Which requires that no one form monopolize the entire playing field. Imaigne if the planet was only populated by one animal type. That would be a terrible design. Maximizing creation requires destruction.

Ain't nothin' organic about the air unless maybe you live on a mountaintop. And even then, I'd be doubtful.
