Watch the video and contemplate.

See my video: What Is The Point Of Life?

Human "mistakes" are the result of the freedom God gave you. You are free to make mistakes so that you could learn and grow. Otherwise life wouldn't have any stakes. If your life was perfect, it would be imperfect. Imagine a video game where you push the button once and the game excutes itself flawlessly to victory. That would be the worst video game ever. You are missing the whole point of the game.

God does not make mistakes. Your mind is just too small to appreciate the Grand Design. You keep underestimating God's power. If God is infinite that also entails that it is finite, otherwise it wouldn't be infinite. That is the paradox of God. God is too all-encompassing and all-inclusive to exclude stupidity. Everything you hate and dislike, God loves! Including evil, stupidity, and limitation. You have to really appreciate what Infinite Love entails.

That's a self-defeating statement. The official paradigm is materialism, which denies the paranormal. There are millions of cases of paranormal phenomena, but they are all denied by closed minds. Science itself has statistically validated paranormal phenomena, but mainstream science and culture is in denial about it. Because according to official dogma, it cannot exist. Therefore it does not exist. You might as well be in 14th century Europe saying: offically there is no evidence the Earth revolves around the sun. It is the job of officials to enforce the status quo, not to reveal cutting edge truths. When you expect officials to provide you with cutting edge truths, that's where you go wrong. Everything official is old news.

Amazing no. You can be deeply enlightened but still not know about kangaroos. You think the Buddha knew about kangaroos?

@bejapuskas Be careful. God in human form is 99% deluded. Just because experts are God does mean they ain't full of shit. Most experts are devils.

God is so monstrously big that you have become lost inside your own imgination, like a psychotic. Like a psychotic you need a sane therapist to help you sort yourself out. Yes, indeed. That's exactly what I said: all authority is ultimately yours. So why are you looking to gurus and scientists and politicians to tell you what is true, who you are, and what to do? The problem is you are not conscious that you created Minecraft. You're too busy playing a stupid human

Science works on consensus of expertise which is based on authority. There cannot really be science without a community of people. One guy working in his garage is not enough to produce modern science. Science needs schools, journals, universities, labs, peer review, confrences, textbooks, grants, teamwork, common languages, paradigms, government sponsorship, common units of measure, a common metaphysics, testing, credentials, certifications, etc. 99% of all the science you know is purely concepts and beliefs. This is true even if you are a world-class scientist. All of this makes science very disconnected from direct experience, leaving a lot of room for error and myopia. Just the fact that you think science is valid, true, respectable, and good -- notice that that's purely based on blind faith and indoctrination. You believe science is respectable because you were programmed by your culture to believe that. You have never actually verified whether science is a proper method for understanding reality.

@Enlightenment Like I said, I don't see how a human can. Humans are limited by virtue of being in a body. Humans can access the Absolute quite easily, but not the entire Creation.

That's what I said. Everyone has partial access. But there are many degrees of partial, from a dog to a buddha. I don't see how. Even the most enlightened people still cannot change their physical body into a kangaroo.

Locking because it's a low quality post.

@lmfao It's not a feeling either. Insight is consciousness's ability to understand itself. As in: Eureka!

A belief is not an insight. To understand what an insight is you'd need to have an insight about the nature of insight.

Siddhis are real of course. But that doesn't mean you get total control over reality. There are serious limits for obvious reasons. We cannot have devils running around creating tornados.

Mixing psychedelics and antidepressants is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Don't make a mockery of this work.

@John Iverson Do 10 trips, then let's talk. It's pointless discussing such things if you have zero experience with them.

Study of quality spiritual texts is not merely a distraction. It's part of the path.

@Emerald No shit no shit I know you don't follow him. My comment was not addressed at you but the guys who gravitate towards such things.

@pluto You seem to have confused the American voting system with Russia's. As far as we know, America's voting system is pretty good. Be careful that you don't misuse skepticism to do more harm than good. The point is not to doubt everything under the sun but to doubt those parts which are false. Doubting truth is like shooting yourself in the foot. Russia does not have a great leader. They have an utterly corrupt mafia state run by a crypto dictator. You have no idea how bad things are in Russia. Any politician there who seriously goes against Putin will get assassinated or jailed.

That's a terrible idea to put into peoples minds. We want more people voting, not less. American elections are often very close, meaning that every vote is significant. Trump won due to about 70,000 votes in key states. Bush vs Gore was even closer.

I have already endorsed Bernie so there's not much for me to say. My general advice on politics is: vote for the most conscious person who stands a chance of winning. Bernie has the most progressive platform and is the least corrupted by corporations and lobbyists. He also has the longest track record of being progressive. Many other progressives are only skin deep. Telling people who to vote for is sorta pointless because people will vote no higher than their own ego will allow.

LOL While we're at it, why not just rewind the clock to pre-Civil War days? The good ol' days when life was simple and no one caused problems. Don't follow such fools.

We already have a thread about this topic in the Self-Actualization sub-forum. Answers are contained there.

You cannot just blindly mix DPT with that stuff, it could be very dangerous. You have to take it clean, without any other meds or supplements or things. Otherwise you'll never understand what is causing what. Don't be foolish folks. Mixing research chemicals with random things is irresponsible. Do not mix psychedelics with nootropics unless you specifically tested to make sure it's okay. Test! Test! Test! Every little detail.
