You are God creating muppets. That's real magic

@Peo Try Kriya yoga then.

How can you move away from being when being is all there is and no matter where you move, you're still being. Desire and movement ARE being.

It's actually more radical than that. You can achieve a state of consciousness so total that you realize you always ARE doing precisely what you want. So if someone is sawing your leg off, you can be conscious that you (as God) are doing that to yourself. Because EVERYTHING that happens is God's Will and it is all Absolutely Good and done out of pure Love. It is a love that you as a human cannot fathom or embody because it is infinite. When you are that conscious, there is no need to exert your own personal human will. Whatever happens, however it happens, becomes fine by you because you realize THAT is your will. By defintion, anything that happens is your will. Not your human will, but your God's Will. Your personal will must be surrendered completely so that whatever the universe does becomes your will.

@Scholar At those radical degrees of consciousness Spiral Dynamics is just a dream. It's a handy model, but when you go deep enough you gotta let it go.

@Mu_ The duality of language cannot be escaped because the nature of any symbol is that it is not the thing symbolized. Contemplate what a symbol is. Become conscious of what a symbol is.

There are many levels to imagination. Some imagination is very surface level, like when you imagine the Earth is flat. Some imagination is very deep, like when you imagine that you were born or that your parents are real. Most of your imagination is outside your personal human will, therefore you call it "physical reality" or "other". What you mean here is that it's other to you as an ego self. But as God you have locked your out from your own full power so that you could create this limit human form. Sort of like how a computer OS can lock out applications from accessing all of a computer's internals, for security purposes. You are not currently in a state of consciousness which gives you access to your own deepest levels of imagination. You only have access to the "human" levels right now. Until you change your state. It's almost like you're world class genius who uses his genius to act like a retarded person. Your act is so convincing that you actually think you're retarded when in fact you are a genius with an infinite IQ.

Well of course, LOL. Stock traders are not wise human beings otherwise they would realize how silly their activity is and not waste their life energy on such things.

Language is inherently dualistic, so you're never going to be able to accurately describe spiritual truths using it.

Too much of this forum is about me. Just focus on your own work please.

User @Umar_uk has been banned. The ban hammer is coming around, so watch yourselves.

@electroBeam I would rather kick myself in the nuts than try to talk about these things via a university. It became quickly obvious to me when I was about 21 years old that a university would not accept my radical epistemology because it would be the death of the university. Creating new paths is what I enjoy. I have little interest in walking other people's paths.

Language only works for sharing common experiences. You cannot communicate something which another person has never experienced. So what we need to get more people having more mystical experiences easily. Which is why psychedelics are the best way of creating a common spiritual language. But of course they are demonized precisely for this reason.

I mostly just release the videos which I feel motivated to release. I don't calculate too much about it. But of course, that's because I have that luxury. If you're just starting off you have to be much more calculating. In my early days I released a lot of videos which were not my favorite topics but which I knew would be popular mainstream topics.

It does change you for sure, but in subtle ways. Mostly what I have gained in not equanimity but understanding, humility, love, God, authenticity, wonder, and overcoming the fear of death. The body is more at ease too. But I still have much work to do on myself. My equanimity is not great and I still have plenty of cravings. Without 5-MeO I would not have the understanding of God's mechanics as I do. To me that was the most delicious and important thing. I care more about understanding God than I do about anything else. And so for me my deepest desire was fulfilled with total omniscience. So according to your definition of enlightenment Christ was not enlightened until after he was cruxified and died? You don't see some absurdity with such a definition?

@Cody_Atzori The brain is something you are hallucinating. When you become fully conscious you'll realize brains are imaginary. Animals are also something you are hallucinating. Just because a video game character has a brain does not mean the brain is running the simulation. The brain is part of the simulation.

It's not bad, but it will simply never work because you are assuming reality is a static objective thing when it fact the very language you use constructs reality and no two people live in the same reality. See video: Why People Seem Crazy

I found a better picture.

His whole shtick is promoting science the masses. So that will limit his worldview a lot.

@Epiphany_Inspired When it comes to politics, ego is always distorting the discussion since it's such a big survival issue. So it's necessarily tricky and contentious.

5-MeO does not give access to DMT entities.

Yes, it's all God's imagination. But you are God, so it's your imagination. It's not all "ego stuff" any more than you seeing a cat walking down the street is "ego stuff". That's not ego, it's the "world". Some people who trip can of course do so in a dualistic way, where they might see an alien and assume that this alien is somehow "other" to them. But that alien is just like any other being in "real life". It is BOTH an entity other than you, but also it is you, since all people are you. If you look at the world dualistically, other people are not you. If you look at the world nondualistically, other people are all your own projections. There's really no contradiction. Both are true in a sense. Of course if you trip with a weak spiritual foundation the ego can co-opt the trips and do a lot of egoic stuff and projecting. So you have to be careful about self-deception. Just like you do in "real life." But seeing a DMT entity is not ego any more than seeing a cat is.

Of course, this is a key issue which so many people get wrong. Most people are unconsciously acting out either an individualist dogma or a collectivist dogma without realizing that these are two mutually-interdependent forces which must be carefully balanced. See video: Aztec Nonduality, where I discuss the central importance of balance. A big part of conscious politics is recognizing that delicate balances must be struck between capitalism & socialism, individualism vs collectivism, freedom & limitation, and status quo & progress. None of these can be taken as absolute goods. Any philosophy or ideology which takes an absolutist position on any one of these is misguided, Tier 1, and will ultimately fail. Yin and yang must be balanced. But not necessarily down the middle. Balance is a complex and dynamic process, not the mid-point between any two positions. LOL, that was such a great episode!

I also stress that difference. And I also stress the difference between awakening and things like cognitive development, moral development, and other developmental lines. You can be deeply enlightened but still deficient in cognitive development and other important things. Post-awakening pathologies are very common. An entire book could be written about them. Which is why I really dislike defining "enlightenment" as total perfection. Once people get that definition in their heads, they start to expect perfection from their fave nondual teachers and then get shocked when they see their fave teacher/guru fall short of that standard because that standard is virtually impossible to meet even after 40 years of practice. Even when Christ was nailed to the cross he said, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" This was a very human response to a horrific situation. And I'm sure he suffered deeply. So to set up a standard for students that even Christ could not meet is not wise. And of course 5-MeO-DMT will never give anyone such an extraordinary degree of perfect equanimity permanently. Although during a 5-MeO-DMT peak, I have had that degree of perfect equanimity, where pain and pleasure are literally indistinguishable. But it will not last.
