That hits the nail on the head! Amen That's what it's like to be spiritually attuned. It's like being a different human being. People like that are not common. The reason I am able to do Actualized.org is because I have some degree of this attunement (but not any paranormal abilities). It comes naturally to me. But even so, I have to struggle really hard to actualize it and live up to my full potential. Do not assume that it just comes effortlessly. With great intelligence comes great responsibility. Time to contact those fuckin elves and steal all their juicy elf knowledge!

@kieranperez The danger when discussing talent is that people get the wrong idea that if they are not talented, they cannot become a lot better. This is false. Even if you are not spirituality talented, you can absolutely train yourself to be massively spiritual. It will just take more work. Talent is a real thing. But talent alone is never enough and it's a terrible life strategy to expect to coast on your talent. It is also a mistake to not do spirituality because you are not talented at it. It's worth doing regardless of your talent.

@sausagehead The goal is to have a breakthrough experience but in a way which is safe, not too overwhelming or traumatic, and in a way where you can understand what happened to you and integrate it into everyday life. A very important aspect of taking psychedelics is to do in such a way that you do not traumatize yourself or freak yourself out so much that you never want to do it again. Very commonly what happens is that people take to high a dose, totally freak out, lose all memory of the trip, and then vow to never touch a psychedelic again. In my book, this is a total failure. You must learn how to trip consistently and moderately if you want psychedelics to transform your life. Blasting yourself is not the goal. Neither is microdosing and staying beneath a breakthrough. You want steady consistent breakthroughs which you can integrate well. Find a dosage and administration method which does this for you. It will be different from person to person.

You and 99% of humans. That's normal. That's just a consequence of being disconnected from your True Self and enmeshed in the Matrix of culture. Your survival almost entirely hinges on surviving within the Matrix of culture. Misalignment here can easily get you killed, so ego struggles and suffers a lot to navigate this domain successfully. In practice you should do both: 1) Try to fit in within reason. Don't bend over backwards but also don't rock the boat too much. You don't want to be locked in jail, or punched in the face, or sued, or fired by your boss. So in this sense you must fit in within reason. But most people go way beyond this, trying to fit in far too much to the point of becoming a slave to impressing others. 2) Work towards awakening and transcending your biographical and social identity. With this a great relief will come and you'll find yourself able to fit in without struggling to fit in. You will just flow with life and you won't worry to much about playing social roles. Yet at the same time you will still be able to play them, but consciously rather than reactively. So you won't suffer from not fitting in the way you do now. You will find your unique personality and place in life and you will stop caring how others judge you. It will not affect your happiness because you'll be totally grounded in your authentic personality and in your heart. What people don't realize is that an enormous part of their identity is social. We'll discuss that in future videos. Very few spiritual teachings discuss this aspect of waking up.

If you realize that a causal chain is infinite, it's basically the same as realizing that nothing is caused at all. Because zero and infinity are identical. You could say there are infinite causes. Or you could say that everything is its own cause. Or you could say that everything in uncaused. Those are just different ways of looking at the same thing. It's paradoxical because Infinity cannot be captured in symbols or any linear finite framework. Infinity always finds a way to break out of any linear framework such as: A causes B causes C... causes Z. Nope! Cannot be that way. That kind of framework will ALWAYS be partial and incomplete. The Absolute cannot be formalized. Truth must always be bigger than anything you can say about it.

@luqqzr My rule of thumb is: complete the course by whatever means necessary. Don't be a perfectionist about it.

Yes, this can happen, especially with a bad upbringing. But even so, if a person is truly spiritually gifted they should have some sense of it, however faint and obscured it may be by bad social conditioning. These people should feel like "I am just different from other people." They may not know why yet or how, but they can intuit that they don't quite fit in with dumb society."

This question makes no sense. I don't recommend psychedelics for people under 21 and those who are not emotionally mature. The reason I don't recommend it for people under 21 is because they are generally not emotionally mature or responsible. But there are always exceptions. I have not.

If you're asking that question, then you probably aren't, unless maybe you had a really dysfunctional childhood. Generally speaking, spiritually gifted people will have one or more of the following: Find it very easy to meditate or concentrate Are extremely interested in metaphysical and spiritual topics (more so than other topics) Are naturally very loving Really interested in Truth for its own sake Have paranormal abilities: they see auras, angels, and others weird stuff, they have telepathic abilities, etc. Exceptionally intuitive They have spontaneous kundalini activation/awakenings Are wise beyond their years, wiser than all their peers Not all of those need to be present. Just one or two of those is already great.

@Pouya If you want to live in a good society the government must be as conscious as possible. Unconscious rulers become tyrants who spread evil and chaos. Case in point: Trump There is a profound link between spirituality and government. Of course don't confuse spirituality with organized religion. I am not talking about theocracy.

Great! Looking forward to reading a detailed write-up from you once you return. It will be difficult but worth it. Hang in there. Don't give up. P.S. If you have not successfully completed at 2 week retreat, start there! 30 days is REALLY REALLY hard.

@lukej Awesome! Yes, that's awakening. Or at least one degree of it. There's almost always more. The trick also is integrating it into your everyday life and living in alignment with it. Yes, we've had this similar experience.

Well, in that case, just realize that this entire work of developing oneself is all about transcending culture, realizing how toxic, deluded, and dysfunctional culture can be. "Culture is not your friend." -- Terence McKenna At the same time, don't hate culture either. Just become aware of how limited, partial, and artificial it is. There is no liberation or freedom without transcending one's culture.

For me it feels like I am borderline. There's no full ego-death, so the ego can feel uncomfortable as it twists around trying to make sense of things. Those borderline trips can be some of the worst. You want to find a dose that blasts you past the borderline state but doesn't lead to whiteout or overwhelm. That should be somewhere in the 20-25 mg range for plugged HCl. Oxalate is weaker than HCl so if you're using that you might need to go higher. If your substance is not pure, if it's not white-colored, you'll need a higher dose. Any color other than white contains impurities. If you are smoking it, your dose needs to be much lower. Do NOT smoke 20-25mg unless you've done lower doses.

@MM1988 Before you go making such judgments as "this is impractical", you should spend some time actually contemplating and working with what was said. Don't pre-judge your results. Nothing in the duality videos suggests you should stop brushing your hair or wiping your ass. It's much more nuanced than that. It's going to take you lots of experience and contemplation to understand what was said in these duality videos.

I have verified this personally. It's true. Causal chains are infinitely long and have infinite complexity and interconnection.

This could actually be a great opportunity. You could: 1) Use that time to meditate, concentrate, contemplate, or self-inquire. 2) Use that time to start your own life purpose/business. Plan it out at least. 3) Use that time to do something creative like writing a book. I planned my first business at my 9-5 job during downtime when I had no work to do. Ultimately you should design your life such that you don't have this kind of downtime at work, as it's highly inefficient and a waste of one's life. Make very minute of your work connect to your LP.

It will not happen all at once. It will take you years to realize all those facets. The best way to overcome fear of awakening is via a psychedelic. It's not so hard. You will learn to enjoy ego-death. There's honestly nothing to fear but fear itself.

@Key Elements Some people are beyond help. Most people actually.

Bhahahahaha... What a fucking a devil! Allow me to clean up the bullshit of your text: "That does not matter TO ME since I must survive at all costs! Fuck anything that is outside of its relationship to me." That's what you really mean and how you really act. The rest is pleasant bullshit that you tell yourself so you don't have to face your own devilry.

You can start them on my How To Make A Girl Squirt video Although even that video will be too over the head for the average Joe

Well, protection of ego is a very important function. That encompasses all of survival. Do not ignore how utterly important ego is for keeping an organism alive. What I am saying is not simplistic at all. It's infinitely complex. I am not really rejecting the right-wing. All of it is absolutely imporant and it could not be otherwise. The devil must be embraced in love, not demonized. I am just saying the devil is ignorant and deluded. This is not a judgment. This is just truth.

There are definitely left-wing devils. Which is why the low vs high axis is far better than right vs left.

That is what all my work is about. Ta-da!
