Finger pointing to the moon. Some of you guys here are like donkeys looking in a mirror but just not getting it. No amount of pointing can help you. You must sit down and do the work, not debate nonduality on a forum. You will never get it by debating it on a forum. Get it?

I meant, it needs to be the most meaningful thing out of the things you could be working on. Unless you are a billionaire, you don't have a choice in life. You will have to work to make money. The only question is, will you work on things you find most meaningful or not? Even if you value deep relationships, you'll still have to work. Because work IS survival. You cannot be alive and avoid survival. The only question is, what will be the quality of your survival? Are you gonna be scamming old ladies out of their life savings, are you gonna be selling poison at McDonald's, or are you gonna do something meaningful for the world? Up to you. Don't be surprised if you hate your life when you sell poison at McDonald's for 8 hours every day. You should hate your life at that point because what you're doing is so stupid. That hate is a message that God is sending you. God is telling you, "Why you being so stupid when you could be doing something so much more amazing with your life?" Living life in stupid ways leads to lots of suffering.

Point of View Exactly. That's how Absolute Truth works. It's true in all cases. Our objective here is not to deepen conversation but to transcend conversation. You cannot awaken or realize what reality is through conversation. So stop trying that. Of course The only-physical paradigm is horse shit. No, it cannot be 100% true. It is deeply confused. Not ultimately because the brain IS imagination. So what you're saying is that imagination can come from imagination. Which is silliness. You don't understand what you yourself are saying. Infinite Consciousness. Awaken and see for yourself. You're just mentally-masturbating here. You're not doing any serious inner work or self-reflection. What you seek is awakening. And nothing can prove awakening. Awakening requires awakening, not this armchair philosophy you're doing here. You have to realize that there is something beyond your mind which you will never access via language or thought. But it can be accessed. Just not by thinking.

Well, you can do whatever you want. Personally I would not date a girl who doesn't have sex by the end of 2nd date. Ain't no such thing as celibate girls unless maybe they're nuns. And even then I wouldn't take this celibacy seriously. This is an act. Not real celibacy. Again, you can do whatever you want. These are just my personal standards.

Psychedelics Why you making this so hard when it can be easy? Exactly. Be careful throwing pearls before swine. Most people are not worthy to be told what spirituality is. They are too selfish to understand the communication.

You're thinking about work all wrong. Rather than seeing is as something you have to do, find a way to make it something you love to do. In general, don't do things because you have to, do them because you want to. This means being proactive about your work. It's not really work then, it's creativity. Don't you want to be creative? Why not? You are God after all! You created the whole universe and creation is a beautiful and exciting process. You're disconnected from your creativity. That's your problem. Find a way to reconnect and this issue about work will dissolve. Then your problem will be that you work too hard! Your work needs to be the most meaningful thing in the world to you. You have yet to realize the significance of life purpose. You know it only as an intellectual abstraction, not a tangible burning passion.

Right, you're hallucinating that. You just aren't conscious enough yet to see it. Your skepticism seems justified from your POV. But your entire POV is an illusion, which invalidates your own skepticism. Einstein was not awake. So using his words here only drives you deeper into the illusion. No, you just don't like the answer I'm giving you. It's too radical for your taste. Your mind still thinks it can outsmart God. Give it up.

Seems like par for the course. Most politicians don't care about the most marginalized groups.

Yup, some people need a much higher than average dose. Try 250ug, then 350ug, then 500ug.

The realization that you are God and that your mind imagines everything.

The brain is a hallucination. Do the work and see.

A beautiful example of stage Blue ethnocentrism:

Best to keep dating and enlightenment separate pursuits. If you wanna date, go date. If you want enlightenment, go do enlightenment work. Dating is not about finding some Buddha to bang. You bang whoever you can and see where things go from there. Don't expect your partner to know anything about enlightenment. Maybe if you're lucky you'll bump into a girl who meditates or does Hatha yoga. But even that is rare. And even then it will all just be surface level stuff.

Sit, be silent, and don't do anything with your mind. Sit like a cat.

Notice that consciousness is prior to speech. Stop taking what people say so seriously.

Whiting out would be past the point of disturbing. Disturbing comes first. If you're whiting out, you're going too far. Maybe you find some value in it, but I would call this too dangerous to repeat.

Reality is an infinite mind. This is not a framework, assumption, belief, or axiom. It is what it is.

Doesn't look fake. You're probably just misusing it. Making you sick to your stomach is just how a noob would perceive it at first. You need to be more clear about how you're using it.

@Revolutionary Think Good, now you're starting to see the enormity of what love is.

@krockerman You already asked this question in your other thread.

I'm working on part 2 of the How Fear Works videos and wanted to solicit your questions. Is there anything you still don't understand about fear?

Obviously not normal, but seems normal for you. People have different brain chemistry and wiring.

That will be different for everyone. The limit is the point where it becomes too disturbing to dose any higher.

To admit idealism is to admit that reality could all just be imaginary. What serious intellectual wants to do that? The whole appeal of being an intellectual is to take one's mind seriously. So it's a problem of the fox guarding the hen house. An academic cannot admit idealism because that then leads to mysticism and that then leads to the end of his career. People who discover mysticism either leave academia or don't enter it in the first place.

So in other words, he's teaching you exactly what you need
