@SerpaeTetra Be careful. Lest your love be put to the test. Life can put you through some brutal tests. Many parents would break. And even if you love your child very much under all conditions. That's still such a narrow love. What about the other 1 billion children on this planet? Why don't you love them too?

It is simply what's true.

This is false. There is no suffering in manifestation other than what you add to it. If you cannot find lasting peace right now, you will never find it. You will not find nirvana anywhere but right here. Your job is to realize that this here and now is nirvana. Don't go looking for nirvana somewhere else or at some future point in time. Those stories are the thing keeping you from realizing nirvana. Nirvana is Truth, and Truth is NOW, NOW, NOW.

Learning does not require blindly believing things. If you were serious, you'd be here to learn. But your cup is full and you're here to double down on your existing worldview, which is the opposite of the purpose of my teachings. If you do not want to learn from me, then you should not be here. Learning from me does not require blind belief. But it does require an open mind and a willingness to lay aside your existing worldview. Your choice of username betrayed your ideological position from day one. You are just here acting out a materialist program, like a robot. You are not questioning yourself but instead fighting externally.

If you meaning attacked by foolishness, then yes. We are trying to curb aggressive ignorance here.

@Freyah You have to understand that ALL action in the universe is ultimately love. Just in various forms. Sometimes twisted ones. Is a parent's love genuine love? Yes, but it is still quite narrow and conditional. There are many things your child can do which will make you stop loving it. And certainly not all parents love their children. Some parents are much better at it than others. But even the best parents still don't know what universal unconditional love is. They know love only within that narrow context of their child. Wait till you experience God's infinite universal unconditional love. Then you'll understand why I say that parental love (although good) is like a drop compared to an ocean. Yes, I agree that parenting can be a big growing opportunity. But it will not deliver you to Absolute Love. That requires spiritual practice. What's really amazing is when you realize that murderers, thieves, and genocidal dictators are all acting out of love. Love is as diverse as all the objects in the universe. The reason I say that things I say is because I am trying to point you towards discovering Absolute Love -- a thing which you have not yet discovered.

Stop spreading your ignorance here. Be here to learn, not to opine. You're getting close to a ban.

What it feels like to be insane.

Past life regression is a common hypnosis technique. You could try that and see if anything interesting comes up. There's no guarantees. Other than that, hardcore yoga would be your best bet. Once you realize consciousness is all things, you'll understand that you/it will live through all possible points of view. Large doses of psychedelics also help. If you mega-dose some mushrooms you will see some crazy shit that will be totally out of this world. Be careful what you wish for. This is no joke. You are not ready to know such things.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family. Not as dysfunctional as yours, but still. The most important thing to do is move out and become as independent as possible. From there you can start collecting the pieces. Don't feel bad about leaving them. At your age you gotta learn to survive independently of them. This will also make you feel powerful rather than a victim. Don't worry too much. You can overcome and heal all that childhood crap. It will take work, but it can be done for sure and you will later be grateful for that it taught you. Hang in there for now. Do the best you can to break free. Create a practical plan for moving out and work that plan a bit each day.

@Wekz Sorry to hear of your situation. It must be challenging. I would recommend 1) distancing yourself from your family, limiting your contact with them at least for now, and 2) going to therapy to talk all this out. You don't want to keep traumatic stuff bottled up inside. You gotta talk it out so you get perspective and distance on it. Psychedelics might also be very helpful, although also painful as they will force you to confront uncomfortable things. But in the end it will be healing. They can show you true love. If you live with your family your #1 priority should be to get a job and move out. That alone will help a lot.

Some things in life you can only intuit. Not everything is absolute knowledge. We deal with a lot of uncertainties in this work because we never have perfect information. We cannot crawl into a person's head to know how awake they are. But we nevertheless have to make some assessments of it in order to determine who is worth learning from. I have interacted with and interviewed masters with 40 years of experience. And I see gaps in their understanding of reality/God. I feel like I have become conscious of some things they have not. Of course this is a grey area. It involves some guesswork. No doubt 40 years of discipline is a powerful thing and comes with many benefits which you could not get any other way. But it does not guarantee the highest levels of consciousness or understanding.

@Wekz How old are you?

That sounds like it would be a big problem but in practice it just isn't because the psychedelic takes you so far beyond mental conceptual stuff. When you actually become infinite, it will be no theory. Psychedelics create a change in one's state of consciousness. This is very different from constructing models or doing analysis. The Absolute is absolute. It is not a memory or a projection. It cannot be doubted.

This discussion is now turning into total nonsense. @Norbert Lennartz Do not comment on this thread any more. You are not adding anything of value.

Not at all. Ultimate reality is perfectly clear. It is Absolute Infinity and you are God, the creator of it. There can be nothing more. But you can realize this deeper and deeper. It would not matter to you. At sufficient levels of consciousness pain is indistinguishable from pleasure. Pain is something you imagine. But don't expect to easily embody that

Reality is a self-licking ice cream cone. Nice work!

No video this week as I'm integrating a deep awakening and taking it slow.

@Jed Vassallo I like it! Nice advice.

@Norbert Lennartz What is your solution for improving government? Which policies do you support?

@noselfnofun It's complicated. There are insights, there are states, and there is your baseline level of consciousness. All of them can be affected. You certainly cannot maintain a peak 5-MeO-DMT state because you would barely be able to walk. But it changes you even though you drop down. The sense of self is expended beyond your body. Yes, do both is the suggestion.

Lol No, you will not be anywhere close to that conscious. You will be lucky to get a few glimpses. But the value of the work is not just in getting glimpses. There's a lot more lessons than just enlightenment. Most of Peter's apprentices are not enlightened at all, not to even speak of deep enlightenment. Which is not to say anything negative about his programs. They are great. But you are grossly underestimating the amount of work it takes to awaken that deeply. I have watched his apprentices struggling and struggling and failing and failing to grasp what they are or what reality is. Not to brag, but I have awoken deeper than any of Peter's apprentices who I have met. And that is thanks to 5-MeO-DMT. Such degrees of consciousness would take you 40 years of work to attain. Total omniscience is possible. But you won't get that through any kind of apprenticeship program. Still, I recommend his programs. It's not the program's fault you are so asleep If you're not using 5-MeO-DMT you're looking at 10, 20, 30, 40 years of work to reach the highest levels. The reality is, you will probably never even know you missed the highest levels because you will be so far away from them even after 40 years of work. Unless if you are supernaturally gifted. And that assumes you're working your ass off on this work, not just half-assing it the way most people do. It's still worth doing the work. So don't get discouraged. Just don't ignore the most powerful and direct tool there is for awakening. It would be negligent to do so. You will not understand Peter's full depth without psychedelic assistance, I can promise you that. None of this is to discourage you. Just the opposite, it just shows you how deep this work goes. So get excited! You have a lot of room for growth.

Before you join anywhere, visit it, stay a while, explore the grounds, and ask people questions.

@Danioover9000 The center of the onion is basically becoming a Jesus Christ. But you'd need massive, massive enlightenment for that. At the very center of the onion is God. If you fully become God, you will become a walking, talking vehicle for God's Love on Earth. Literally. You will walk around radiating God's Love to the whole world. Very few people get this far. You won't just be a vehicle for God, you will actually be the one true God. At this point your life is totally selfless and devoted to the betterment of all of living beings. Your love for the world will be infinite and you will be in paradise all the time. You will need nothing because you have become everything.

The certification itself is basically irrelevant. What you really care about is finding the best program which teaches you how to be great coach and the business aspects of coaching. IPEC is the program I completed. It's quite good. It taught me valuable skills which I would not have learned any other way. Can't speak about any others since I only have experience with that one.
