This is silly. There is still a big excess of masculine energy in government and positions of power. We are nowhere near a healthy balanced point. Again, this is a conflation of stage Green with stage Red. The worry that stage Green will become fascistic is totally overblown. The bigger worry is actual stage Red & Blue fascism -- which is still a real force around the world. You have to be wise enough to pick the right things to worry about. Worrying about excess Green is like worrying about the women's bathroom on the Titanic while it is sinking. Your worry is misdirected.

No, no, no No, no, no Stay humble, grasshopper. You have much to learn.

1) It's an excellent teaching 2) If you still have no clue how to let go, you haven't really been listening. The teaching is super, super simple. There is no method for letting go. You just let go. That is the method. Simple. But it requires practice. Stop looking for intellectual explanations. Just do it.

You can cycle practices throughout the year, to keep things fresh and yet not overwhelming. The point of trying lots of practices is to find those small handful which you will commit to. And also to have ones in the back pocket for when your life takes a turn in the future and you are in need of some specific one. These practices will be useful throughout the rest of your time at different points.

I think what everyone overlooks is the simple fact that people have different nutritional needs. There is no one best diet in the abstract. The question is always: What is the best diet FOR ME? And that you can only discover through trial and error. There are many factors at play: your genetics, geography, climate, your budget, your health conditions, your level of development, etc. I have found that vegetarian does not work well for me. It doesn't give me the energy that I need to function well. But it would be a mistake to apply my conclusion to all other people. My conclusion is for me.

I was going to but hesitated because I have a feeling it's gonna be a nasty come-up. Why go through nastiness when there are so many other substances that go down smoothly? But if was going to do mescaline I would definitely go pure synthetic. The cactus is there as a last resort if you've got no other choice. Synthetic is going to dose a lot more accurately.

Energetic and paranormal aspects of spirituality. Things like reiki, healing, psychics, siddhis, etc. I know they are real but I don't understand how they work. Serious mental health issues like schizophrenia, psychosis, and other such mental "disorders", treating suicidal people, treating clinically depressed people, etc. Which is why I avoid those issues in my work.

Sadhguru has a lot of good teachings. Just don't look up to him on politics. Politics is not no his field of mastery. You have to understand that even the best teachers are only good within their domain of mastery. Not across the board on all topics.

If you think the progressive movement isn't woke enough for you, you're out of luck in this lifetime. By fighting with progressives you end up helping the conservative devils who don't give a damn about minorities for the most part. Don't overthink politics. When you have a choice between A, B, and C -- pick the most progressive one and be satisfied. The system can only evolve so fast. Today's candidates are the best and most progressive ever. We are lucky to have them. Don't forget how bad things have been in the recent past.

Odd, I never get this. Maybe you have to optimize your health/diet/supplementation. Fatigue and concentration issues have a slew of possible causes. A bit of sex shouldn't be one of them.

Once you know that your heart is not into a thing, that is the end of that. There is no use pretending you can make it work. If your heart is not into engineering you will never succeed at it. So that's not even an option for you. Just accept it and move on with pursuing what your heart is calling you to do. Deal with the obstacles and problems as they arise. If your parents refuse to help you in following your heart, then follow it anyway without their help. Don't let following your heart be negotiable. You can't succeed at something your heart isn't into.

They are not mutually exclusive. You could like both. So explore both then. Or whatever you like. Of course

This whole thing about psychics being frauds is way overblown. It's mostly an excuse made by materialists because they do not want to admit that psychic abilities are real. First you must admit that psychic abilities are real. Then we can acknowledge that a few people are frauds and avoid them.

Fear and torture are not part of it, that is part of the ego-mind's reaction. Seems like you got some shadow stuff to work through.

Most of my trips were on synthetic substances and they have all been great except for a few.

@Rilles Spirit of the plant my ass.

What was your old thing and what is your new thing?

No, you can become conscious that you are not inside a simulation. Your reasoning is assuming dualities which you could transcend and be free off.

Generally they aren't helpful and can lead to further confusion.

Awakening comes with surrendering the ego-mind's insistence on control. It is the ego-mind which wants to manipulate reality. The ego-mind cannot be allowed to do whatever it wants as that would become hell. Imagine if Bin Laden could materialize a nuclear bomb with his mind. Such power can only be allowed to the most selfless and loving. And infinite power can only be allowed to a completely selfless being -- the Godhead. Having form automatically limits your power. The cost of infinite power is total formlessness and total selflessness to the point where no one can even know you exist.

Yes, you need to set firm boundaries in a relationship as far as what you're willing to accept.

Yes, I did. Maybe. But there were other things they said which cross-validated. Overall I was impressed. It's pretty clear that they aren't speaking from some memorized script but that they are getting intuitive visions as they work with you. Stuff pops up for them in real-time. It's not like they sat down and studied a book which said: "Okay, if this guy walks in complaining about his thyroid, you tell him he was choked in a past life. And if he walks in with a back ache, you tell him he broke his back in a past life." You have to give these folks some credit. They are not idiots.

To experience yourself as God. Out of Love for yourself.
