@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.

Pass the law and you'll see. Until then I'll be a greedy capitalist in accordance with the standards of our culture

By your logic the US should not have child labor laws because it would be bad for companies and they would just move overseas and exploit children there. You are thinking about this all wrong. The point of these policies is to create a more healthy, conscious, loving society. This comes at the cost of maximization of profits and growth. This is a big shift in paradigm. A more conscious society will become more powerful than all other societies in the long term even if it doesn't maximize profits. Precisely BECAUSE it doesn't maximize profits! You cannot even begin to imagine how powerful America would become if we passed all these changes I propose. Consciousness and Love is the ultimate power.

@Joseph Maynor I am rich. Bernie Sanders would be the worst for me personally. Trump gave me a $40,000 tax refund last year and will again next year. The current system is great for me personally.

I don't see rich people moving overseas a problem. Rich people want to live in America and benefit from American real estate, schools, and society. They do not want to live in a 3rd world country. They don't want their children living in a 3rd world rat hole. Likewise, giant corporations want to be headquartered here. To do serious business here, they must be here. BTW, under current law, if you are a US citizen and you move to another country, you still owe the IRS income tax. If you want to escape US income tax, you have to renounce your citizenship. It's very easy to pass some laws that further tighten this. If a corporation over $1 billion wants to do business in the US, they must place a headquarters here. The Chinese do not allow any America company to work in China without partnering with a local Chinese company first. Silicon Valley is not going to pack their stuff and move overseas. They don't even want to move to Alabama, let alone overseas.

Red is going to be dictatorial. See Russia or North Korea or Iraq for more modern examples of Red. Saddam Hussein is a great example.

No it would not because people like to live in uncorrupted countries with great infrastructure. People in the US like to move to the most progressive states like California, Washington, New York. Why is it that no one dreams of moving to Alabama? Banning slavery did not move slaveowners overseas.

Do not make a mockery of this work.

Everything you're aware of is the Absolute. You have yet to realize that formlessness and form are identical.

Maybe try more conscious sex. Combine sex and spirituality to go deeper with your spouse.

Sorry, someone beat you to the punch. But nice effort.

@CreamCat You are God. You created the universe and yourself. Ta-da!

Kriya Yoga Psychedelics Those are the two most powerful techniques I know of. And also week-long solo retreats.

Sweet! Unfortunately Bernie's like a broken record. Same shit every time. Hehe...

@Village I've listened to the arguments of more libertarian fools than you would care to know. It's like having a discussion with a man-child. There's no historical understanding there of how government works. Just ravings about how evil government is. These positions are often held by young juvenile white males. It's a rebellious phase they grow through. Unfortunately some get stuck on it for life. Libertarianism is a cancer of the mind.

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.
