Not-knowing does not exclude foul play. Of course it is very fishy and should be investigated. But I see people jumping way too eagerly towards conspiracy theories, which is a recipe for epistemic blunder. Best to admit "I don't know" and conduct an investigation. Of course an investigation is necessary. Pretty much everyone agrees on that.

Because society has built up a bureaucratic infrastructure through 10,000 years of bloodshed, rape, genocide, theft, torture, and other horrors that you cannot even being to imagine. Thanks to that infrastructure (which we call government) you enjoy the life you do while being totally oblivious as to how all this works or where it came from.

It's when things start to get frustrating that real growth begins.

Overall I feel mankind is too selfish to kill itself. I could be wrong.

This is a good case to admit the truth: You don't know. Notice how the mind spins theories and stories to convince itself. But the fact is extremely clear: you just don't know. Notice this. This is a very important point.

@Cocolove I am a teacher. I point things out to my students. What do you expect to happen here? Most of you guys simply do not fathom the depth of what is being taught. And I'm not here to dick around with you. These teachings are deadly serious yet you treat them so cavalierly, with such recklessness and arrogance. Start by understanding that you don't understand what I teach. I have spent decades contemplating my self-biases, yet some noob hears about self-bias for the first time in his life and comes here accusing me of self-bias. It's a joke. You guys should know, I see through all of your bullshit. It won't fly with me. If you're here, prepare to be challenged and mindfucked. Nothing personal.

Too deep of a subject to explain here. I have no idea what they're talking about nowadays. But I would assume it's still juvenile to some extent. I could be wrong since I don't watch them.

The opposite of strategic voting is called foolish voting. Yes, don't be a fool. Values don't mean shit if they are not actualized. It helps no one to vote for people who cannot win.

Yes, all this is normal and great stuff. Spiritual purification I call it. The body stores a lot of emotional baggage, fear, tension, ego, etc. You're gonna have to release all that shit to reach the highest levels of enlightenment. The good news is, your next trip should take you much deeper into existential insight. The point of releasing personal baggage is to make yourself pure enough to realize the deepest existential insights. Next time try contemplating a question like: What is Love? What is God? Why does reality exist? What is intelligence? What is perception? What is consciousness? What is evil? and so forth. Once you purge all the energetic blocks, that's when the trips become really interesting. You can sit calmly and just contemplate.

You must actively seek it, otherwise the whole world would be awake, and hardly anyone is. Some very spiritually advanced folks have spontaneous awakenings. But this is extremely rare for the most and not something you can rely on.

It's the perfect term to describe PUA, RedPill, Incels, alt-right, MGTOW, gun nuts, etc. All you gotta do is visit one of those forums and you will be bombarded with it. It's when man-children try to act masculine without understanding what real masculinity is.

That is a pretty absurd question. Of course the company must make profit off you, otherwise they'd be out of business. Business is not so simply. A company does not always know how much it's going to make off you because companies take risks. In some cases a company could actually lose money on you. If you ask that question on an interview, you will never get hired because it's way too combative and entitled, and doesn't appreciate the complexities of business. I've hired people before on whom I've lost money. And so have other companies.

LOL, how clinical and heartless. Likely 5-MeO-DMT or DPT. Try reading that wall of text but replace GH001 with "sex".

@LucyKid You cannot get answers to these questions from people. You must do the inquiry work. Awaken to what you are. Then see what questions remain. Your dog is you.

Through lots of trail and error I have found this to be true. It does not make sense to recommend self-inquiry to people who are stuck in monkey mind. They can spin their wheels for years without getting anywhere. Mindfulness training or Kriya Yoga is great for calming that monkey mind.

Just be aware, taking medications to halt the spiritual purification process is like pressing the gas and the breaks in your car at the same time. Ideally you let the process unfold naturally without trying to escape from it. Yes, it can be very difficult at times. The more growth you try to accomplish is the least time, the more shocking it is to the system. So there's a trade-off here. You can spend a decade waking up or a week. If you do it in a week, it will probably be hell. The most important thing to understand is that in the waking up process, serious emotional and energetic upheaval is quite common and normal. It is not a "bad" thing. Ideally you push through it. But if you feel like it's reaching a life-threatening level, then obviously find some way to back off and come back to it later. Also be ware of ego backlash. It's coming.

Sounds like a keeper

Oooo... sounds juicy

@Vagos I would focus more on not thinking for a while and building up your meditation, concentration, and yoga skills. I find the questioning to be ineffective without first being in a calm mind state.

Are you sure you guys are doing it right? You did promise them immortality and total omniscience, right? And they said No Thanks?

No, I'm not implying anything per se. I'm just assessing Trump's mind. He has the type of mind that will take down the ship with it if it goes down. I don't foresee a nuclear holocaust. But some phony war is within the realm of possibility. And more importantly he is going to wage a battle domestically this coming election cycle. It's gonna get nastier and dirtier than ever as his chances of reelection shrink. He will rally and whip up his base into an ideological frenzy. There will be even more conspiracy theories, demonization of decent people, and probably some degree of violence as things get desperate for Trump's base and they start to lash out. What you have to understand about Trump's base is that they're all-in. They will never admit defeat or any wrong-doing -- because it will be too ugly for them to admit. So they will double-down and scapegoat someone else -- like immigrants, Muslims, socialists, women, or whoever. As the failures of the Trump admin keep getting worse, the scapegoating will keep getting worse. The Trump phenomenon is like a giant swollen pimple that needs to burst. How bad it gets is hard to say. We have to be careful, but also don't get overly pessimistic. This is all part of the nation's growth process. It is all necessary to evolve to the next level. Just be careful not to get caught up in the eruption.

So what this tells me is you got A LOT of work to do before anything like enlightenment will dawn. Probably years of work. That's okay, but what I mean is, you don't have to worry too much about enlightenment right now. Focus building up your meditation skills, psychoanalysis, yoga, etc. All of that will build up your foundation. At some point you should begin to slowly ween yourself off the medication and pursue the Truth full-bore. Enlightenment is about facing your own death. So you need to build yourself up to the point where you're not having panic attacks and you a ready to face ego dissolution. You are not going to be able to avoid facing death. That is the whole aim of enlightenment work. Enlightenment is all about facing your deepest fears and seeing through them with extraordinary levels of consciousness and concentration. Weening yourself off SSRI's will also allow you to play around with psychedelics -- which are one of the most effective tools for facing death and fear.

@Meditationdude When you sit, what is your intention? What are you trying to understand or get? Sits are usually not nearly as effective without a clear intention. It's very important to become clear about what you want out of this work. And there are many things you could be working on / developing / realizing. If you want to just sit and done nothing, without any objective or goal. Fine. But then make that your intention and be clear about it: "I will just sit here like a cat and be in the present moment." Sometimes that's effective. Other times it's more effective to have some existential question you're working on, like "What am I?" or "What is reality?" or "What is Love?" or "What is Truth?", etc. But understand this: there is way more to this work than merely sitting like a cat. Nothing wrong with sitting like a cat. But if you really want to understand reality, life, and self -- that won't be enough. You need to probe various aspects of life to crack its secrets. Or you could be working on building concentration skill.

There are some things I don't share because it is reserved for future things I'm working on. Don't get too greedy. I share too much as it is.

Oops, yes. I fixed it. Thanks!
