I don't waste my money. Someone else in my position would live much more lavishly than I do. I could go buy a Lamborghini in cash tomorrow. But the thought doesn't even cross my mind because it's such a childish desire.

@How to be wise Strictly speaking Spiral Dynamics is tracking values development. Not necessarily moral development or spiritual development. Many stage Blue yogis have an ethnocentric worldview. They could be very partial to Indian culture, holding it as superior to all other cultures. Even Sadhguru seems to not be immune to this trap to some degree. Oddly enough, you can be conscious of Universal Love but still be a racist or misogynist. Childhood attitudes tend to run deep and enlightenment will not necessarily transform them automatically.

It's a mistake to try to map that to Spiral Dynamics. That's not what Spiral Dynamics tracks. Many Indian yogis are Blue even though they could be enlightened or have amazing siddhis. Many Japanese Zen masters are Blue too. Western Zen masters tend to be Green+

That's what psychedelics are for. Of course it won't last. You can't ever be a kid again. You know too much now. You also over-romanticize how great it was to be a kid. It wasn't as great as you remember because your mind filters out all the bad stuff.

@gar-4-field Not wrong. Go enjoy some sex. Will it fulfill you? Will it solve any existential problems? No. But ignoring it would create its own set of problems. Don't guilt yourself for wanting a girlfriend. Totally normal.

@yellowschnee If you asking this question, you might be gay and/or bi, yet repressing it. Such a question does not even enter the mind of a straight guy. There's just zero attraction towards men and zero threat from gay men. When I used to do a lot of pickup, I'd sometimes have a gay guy hit on me. It was never an issue. It's actually flattering.

That's an illusion. You'll see. She is precisely replaceable. Not only that, but you WILL replace her. But for a short while you'll suffer. Because that's the nature of irrational attachment. Notice that when you put something up on a pedestal in your mind, you create your own suffering. The whole key to dating women is: Don't get attached to her AT ALL until at least you sleep with her. Any attachment you create before that will only create needless suffering and usually ends up ensuring you never sleep with her. All romantic love is pure illusion. It's as illusory as jerking off to a celebrity in your mind. Only here you're using a real person to jerk off into -- which allows you to fool yourself into thinking it is real. Nope. Still pure fantasy.

Angel porn?

That's so odd. I wonder why that is??? I've never tried it, but supposedly sublingual is also supposed to work. Just don't swallow it. Stay calm. Give it a few days. It will pass and you'll forget all about it. Psychedelics don't last more than a day or two. Anything else is your own mind at work, perhaps shadow material arising. The substance is certainly long gone from your system. Not that I recommend it, but you could always distract yourself with a TV show or a video game after a bad trip. That can help to take the mind off it until the memories fade away. Memories of a trip significantly fade after 1 week and after a month it's hard to recall much at all.

Las Vegas is a great city. Everything you need with none of the smog and traffic. And good weather most of the year except summer. Close to many national parks. Zero state income tax. The city itself is quite liberal.

Most drugs are illegal because parents are terrified of their kids doing heroin, crack, cocaine, & meth. And to be fair, this is a legitimate concern. These drugs can be extremely destructive. I have an extended relative in Russia who's a life long heroin addict. He's spent a few years in prison and still does heroin. It's ruined his whole life and he's a huge drag on his family because he cannot maintain a job. Psychedelics got lumped in with all that. The issue of heroin, crack, cocaine, & meth is tricky. How should we regulate such drugs? Do we allow them to be sold at the pharmacy? Do we ban them, creating a black market? It's bad either way. Ideally we raise the quality of our society such that people never want to do those hard drugs. But that's going to take centuries of growth. In the meantime it will be a problem either way. People who get hooked on hard drugs usually don't have much of a life and little hope for a good future. They lack a positive life purpose to work towards. Society needs to provide people with more opportunities for success. One thing is clear though, psychedelics need to be legalized and actually put to use for helping those hooked on heroin, crack, cocaine, & meth. That's a no-brainer. It's proven to work.

So there's your solution. Feast yourself on the suffering of your enemies

You will never understand it unless you realize Absolute Infinity and Absolute Love. Then all questions are answered at once. The meaning and richness is infinite. I am not discrediting it. Just the opposite. You don't have any idea yet how rich it all is.

I've never snorted oxalate, but snorting HCl is quite unpleasant. The only thing that takes the edge off is the epic nature of the trip itself. The whole process is inferior to plugging. The nastiest thing I've snorted is N,N-DMT fumarate. Never again.

I have said many times that there are many ways of awakening. Find what works for you. I am sharing what works for me.

The problem with this theory is that then Donald Trump should be the most tired man on the planet. Yet seems to have boundless energy.

@Annoynymous You are God, just like me. You own the whole universe

@Shiva Seems like the government needs to actually sell the drugs directly to folks at cheap prices to avoid cartel trafficking.

Of course taking psychedelics on a weekly basis will make one spiritually developed. But there are other aspects of development which remain crude.

@Mercurio3 You are being foolish. Plugging is the best. You're creating a problem that does not need to exist.

Get your blood work done. Check your thyroid and hormones. Many people have thyroid or hormone imbalances. Low energy is often associated with under-active thyroid. Of course cleaning up your diet is very important. If you eat shit you will feel like shit. Stop eating all wheat products and all junk food. Carb heavy foods make you extra sleepy. You should also do a urine test for heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metals like mercury and lead cause all sorts of energy problems. There are detox protocols for detoxing heavy metals if you have them.

If we injected snake venom into your veins, you'd also lose some control. Physiology is more fundamental than your ego-mind. More fundamentally, the whole notion of "control" is deeply dualistic and delusional. If there exists only one thing in the universe: the universe itself, who controls it? Who controls the universe?

It already IS extremely appealing for corporations. Corporations are making a killing. They ain't going anywhere. These are empty threats. They only ship the lowest jobs overseas. Management lives here for a good reason. What you gotta see is that a popular country has enormous leverage over corporations. A popular country has what the corporations want most: 1) a big market of consumers, and 2) the top talent in the world. Good luck running Google in China or Brazil. The world's best computer engineers don't want to live in China or Brazil when they could be living in the Bay Area. The best talent comes from high consciousness societies. This is not an accident. That's the whole point of a constructing a high consciousness society.

@AudibleLocket Spain decriminalized all drugs. Seems to work fine for them. The problem in Brazil is massive corruption, lack of infrastructure, and low levels of Spiral development across the populace. Brazil has a lot of stage Red which makes progressive reforms very difficult. Stage Red will behave criminally regardless of drugs being legal or illegal. It's very easy to acquire drugs in Brazil if you want. So it's not like it is being stopped under current policy.

I am not for isolation. Globalism will only grow larger. But people will want to live in the most developed and conscious countries. The whole point is to make America extremely appealing to live in -- much more appealing than now. Expecting American citizens to pay taxes is not isolationism. If you don't want to pay taxes, fine. Then surrender your citizenship. To not pay your fair share of taxes is literally leeching off your community. It is the most unpatriotic thing you could do. Basically it's treason. Imagine if tax evasion was tried in court as treason.
