Telsa has already created industrial grade energy storage cells: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/29/20746170/tesla-megapack-battery-pge-storage-announced The technology is already here and rapidly improving. With some government subsidies, this problem is very realistic to solve. Wind is not even necessary. Everything can be solar. Solar is the ultimate energy source because it is virtually unlimited. We just need more cells and batteries, which will naturally happen. We can install solar panels on every rooftop in the world. This is the future. Solar is only going to get cheaper and more efficient. Coal and nuclear is already going out of business. With a proper carbon tax, solar will become king.

@fridjonk You'll sing a different tune when Fukushima happens in your backyard. I had a client who got cancer from Fukushima. It's ugly stuff.

I explained it a lot in my video: What Is Love? And we'll certainly talk more about it in future episodes. But talking about it is also quite pointless. You cannot understand Love through talk. You must find it by doing the practices. You must open your heart. What good does it do for me to tell you that everything is love? It's as useless as telling people that they are God. Telling people doesn't work. They must awaken to it.

What you're asking cannot really be explained. You gotta undertake a personal journey of validate various religious and scientific metaphysical claims. Reading an explanation in a book doesn't help because that's just begging the question. That book then becomes your new dogma. You need to find a way to determine which books you can trust. You cannot do that based on my recommendations because do you not know if I am correct or not. The pursuit of truth must be independent of all human sources.

That's very wide question. A whole book could be written about that because there is so much stuff religions say. God, for example, is not a dogma. But! For most religious people it is. Dogma is not just about true vs false, dogma is about how you hold it. If a perosn holds a true thing as a belief which he has no direct experience of, it's still a dogma. For example, if you are absolutely sure the Earth is round, that's a dogma, even if the Earth turns out to be round once you look down on it from orbit. But if you have actually seen the round Earth with your own eyes, then it's not a dogma.

@Aeris You gotta ask more follow up questions and really dig into her values. Most people have no idea what their values are so it takes digging.

I doubt total harmony is possible. Total harmony is death. There will always be stuggle in life. That's the nature of survival. It's just a question of how much harmony and complexity a particular stage of cognitive development can sustain. China is mosty stage Blue and they have over 1 billion people. Of course they are an ecological disaster, but they do live in some degree of harmony as a society.

@zeroISinfinity I am not fully enlightened. But I do know what Love is.

Absolute Love is idenetical to your true nature. There are facets to the Absolute. These facets can be realized in any order and at various levels of comprehensiveness. But don't be confused, all of these facets are identical to one another in the end. But even so, it is important to realize them individually. It is not enough to realize one facet and think you automatically understand all the rest, even though they are one in the end.

@Truthority You talkin shit, friend. Be here to learn, not to mouth off.

That is a mistake. You quit too early.

WinterKnight is not conscious what love is. He has not had an awakening to Absloute Love. I keep telling you guys, this goes way deeper than you think. There are many facets to awakening and very few people have become conscious of all of them. Most of the people you look up to, who you think are fully awake, are not. This work is extremely, extremely tricky.

That's right. That does happen. Because people live in different realities. Only by your own authority. That's the whole magic of reality. There isn't one! So there is no one in the universe to say what is real. So people make up all sorts of shit. The nature of reality is that there is no external source you can turn to for clear answers because due to nonduality, all sources are actually yourself. This was the point of my: How Authority Works video. People have various levels of awakening, and beyond that, their minds can interpret their awakenings in very different ways. People's brains also function differently, producing different realities.

Ask, what things do you value most in life, and why?

Look at your hand. That's not dogma.

Cognitively and politically they are not. You have to take into account the scaling problem. It's easy to live in harmony with nature when you got 500 people. Now see how they behave as 500 million people. All hell breaks loose.

Taxing rich people doesn't cripple their motivation. This is a myth. Money is an improper motivator in a conscious society. You would have our most creative people be prostitutes. This is an insult to turly creative people. Also, don't assume wealthy people are the most creative people. Right now, the wealthiest people are often the best exploiters of society. Why should such exploitation be rewarded?

@laurel Be careful romanticizing tribes. They are primitive and they will start tribe warfare. You want a better understanding of stage Purple, look at Africa and Iraq. That's tribal warfare.

@Shiva The US spends double Per Capita. As one example, insulin in the US costs 10x more than in Canada. Same brand.

It's all very simple: space is imagined within consciousness, just like everything else. The end. The substance of reality is nothing.

I mention this a bit in the video. Yes, the currency needs to be not fucked with. I am all for balanced budgets and no going into debt.

The smaller states are over-represented in the Senate. In fact this is one of our biggest problems. The least developed rural states have a majority strangle hold over the Senate which makes it impossible to pass progressive legislation. What the smaller rural states don't appreciate is just how much their boats are lifted by the largest and most progressive states like NY, California, Washington, etc. These states pay the bulk of taxes because they add massive economic value. Yet their votes are not worth as much. Votes should be allocated by people, not by state. Otherwise you have a backward democracy where the minority opinion actually rules the majority. Just think about it, why should a president with the minority of popular votes win while the one with the majority lose? It makes no sense. If the guy you voted for won the popular vote but lost the election, you'd rightly be upset. Especially if two such elections lead to disastrous policies like the Iraq War and the Trump administration. What makes all this particularly galling is that the most conscious candidates are actually winning the popular vote, but still losing the election! If California was properly represented under the principle of 1 person, 1 vote, America would be able to pass significantly more progressive legislation. Right now we have the least developed parts of the country cockblocking humane legislation. California, NY, and Washington lead the way on progressive legislation: clean air, clean energy, living wage, etc, etc. Alabama ain't putting forth the most conscious & loving policies.

That's right, enlightenment is generally not useful. Enlightenment is the transcendence of survival, value, right/wrong, meaning, usefulness, etc. That's also right. Love is ultimately where all this no-self business leads. Absolute Self Love is the end result of profound enlightenment. If you were truly able to Self-Love, you'd conquer every demon in the world. - - - - - - - - - The realization of no-self is very important. It doesn't contradict Self Love. These are two sides of the same coin. So don't turn this into a false choice. Realize no-self. Realize The Self. Realize God. Realize Love. Realize Infinity. Realize Nothingness. Then you will be ready to save the world.

Yes, they are mostly Purple in their cognitive development. You have to be nuanced here and distinguish various developmental lines: moral, interpersonal, political, cognitive, spiritual, and so forth. While their spiritual line could be advanced, their other lines can be very low. Those tribes are not all rainbows and butterflies. They will rape you and boil your skull for dinner if you are from the wrong tribe. Tribal warfare is a notorious problem.

In other words, what where you wearing? I gifted him $3000 worth of love. That should buy him plenty of meth love.
