@captainamerica There is a deeper problem here. If daytrading offers no value, setting yourself up as a trainer of daytraders is just doubling down on the problem, you see? You are effectively creating a pyramid scheme. The whole point of a pyramid scheme is that it takes a product or service of no genuine value and makes it appear to have short-term value by convincing other people that it has value. If you realize that daytrading has little to no value, why are you positioning yourself to teach it to other people? You just geometrically multiplied your bad karma. It's as if I told you that robbing people's houses created bad karma so you come back to me and say, "What if I don't do any robbing myself but instead I train hundreds of people how to rob houses?" Lol Go create something which you know offers massive genuine value for mankind. Teach that! Do you really want to spend your precious time on this Earth teaching daytrading? Is that what you want your life to be remembered as: the daytrading guy? Is that really the best thing you can think of?

@Pouya It depends on how much they do it. 2-3 trips is usually not enough for the average person to get a profound nondual experience (when snorting/plugging). Most people need a rather large dose of it to break through, and the problem is, they are too afraid to do it. They do 1 or 2 small trips and call it quits before the breakthrough happens. Because the ego is hellbent on preventing enlightenment. Psychedelics do not work on people who are not metaphysically curious and serious. This is not a pursuit for lazy people just dicking around. You have to be serious about reaching Truth. You have to be willing to try and fail many times. I have no respect for people who do 2 trips and call it quits.

@Haloman You are also programmed to shit, eat, and kill. The key is to keep your base desires well-regulated via consciousness and wisdom. In other words, you can shit, but don't shit where you eat. You can have sex, but do so responsibly, authentically, and consciously. Or be an animal. It's up to you.

@SQAAD I would be more worried about absorbing viruses or sperm than memories Seriously though, the problem with people who have multiple partners is that they do not know how to relate consciously with 1 partner, nevermind 3 or 5. It's sort of like those parents who don't know how to raise or feed 1 child, yet they have 5. Classic case of biting off more than you can chew. It's a form of greediness. What is so lacking in you that you need any of that at all? << that's what you should contemplate.

@Pouya There is no way to do the work without doing the work. P.S. Well, maybe 5-MeO-DMT

Precisely because it is the end of you. Since you are the problem, the end of you is the solution Can't you see that the only problem in the world is you? What's left is: nothing! No self, no problem. It's a rather ingenious counter-intuitive move, akin to a queen sacrifice in chess. Takes vision and boldness to make such a move.

@Toby Awakening doesn't happen in 1 second. It first starts with arousal. Just like sex I don't see what's unclear about this. Kundalini takes time to fully awaken. Probably years of practice.

Oh, I thought you meant inhaling nasally. Inhaling a mist into the lungs through the mouth is an interesting approach. No idea about that. Would require experimentation. Might irritate the lungs.

@Jcent It's a good vision, but it will require a lot of work from you. Don't expect others to solve the hard problems for you. Your role is to create solutions to all of those sticky problems like financing, etc. You can start by studying & researching education theory. There are many serious scholars, experts, and academics working on the problems of education. But you should also realize that the biggest obstacles will always be bureaucratic, political, marketing, and financing. Education is a very touchy political issue. People are not just going to let you wake up their kids. They want their children properly indoctrinated. It will be very challenging to pitch a stage Yellow school to stage Blue/Orange parents in a stage Blue/Orange community. If you are serious about this vision, you should think of a way to gain 1st-hand experience with the actual issues of education. You can do this by getting a job within the education field and study it from the inside. Otherwise you will lack 1st-hand experience and your solutions will be utopian fantasies, not anything workable in the real world. The trick with lofty visions is that they also must square with how the real world works and the level of development that people are at. Coming up with grand visions is relatively easy. The hard part is figuring out how to actualize them.

@Hardkill The problem isn't that you're being dishonest with women, it's that you're being dishonest with yourself. Relationships are paradoxical. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. But I don't find maintaining a harem to be too developed or conscious. In my experience people who do that are generally not too developed. They are thinking with their genitals which can't lead to anything good.

That's your projection.

@CreamCat Nice video! I knew kids like that guy in elementary school. They would just draw all day long in class and they were fucking GOOD. My Mom is actually like that. From what I can gather, it requires a certain highly specialized brain type. Which then leads to 1000s of hours of practice because their brain type loves doing it. I would guess I'm the same as that guy, but with philosophy instead of art. To me philosophy is like an artform, and it comes as easily as that guy's drawings, but then there is also of course a ton of practice that goes into it. To do that much practice demands that you really love doing it.

@Jcent Depends on the level of consciousness of the person using it. A stage Orange person will use Bitcoin for stage Orange purposes. Which is basically why Bitcoin crashed in the last year. All the stage Orange Wallstreet-types wanted to use it to get rich quick. Some people see Bitcoin and all they think about is how to use it to make money. Other people see Bitcoin and all they think about is how to use it to experience God

@outlandish That's interesting but I imagine it would not be much different that regular old snorting. It will still sting and drip. Plugging should be superior.

@iGhost Nothing is hidden. What you're presently seeing is the storage.

Of course

@joeyi99 Of course. Do your research.

@VioletFlame Examine your own resistance to change and you will have your answer. Change = death

The older generations are not staying still. They too are evolving. Just not as fast as you whippersnappers would like. Like I said, it's due to the rigidity of the mind. The mind is resistant to change. It's a fundamental survival mechanic.

@Smika Yes, this is normal and a good sign that something is working. Keep up your spiritual practices and don't get distracted by weird sensations. Weird sensations will arise and pass away. What you really want is to open that crown chakra and have an awakening. Educate yourself about Kundalini Awakening. Read some books about it. I have books on my book list about the ups and downs of the process.

@zambize It's an average sociological trend. There are of course many individual exceptions. So don't stereotype people too much. The main reason it's true is because as the infrastructure of society evolves lower survival needs becomes easier and easier to satisfy to the point where you don't need to even think about them. Older generations had to worry about a neighboring tribe raping and pillaging their village. Modern generations don't have this worry because government infrastructure (like the modern court and police system) has been built to prevent that. Your value system reflects the environment you're trying to survive in. As the environment evolves, so must your values, beliefs, and worldview if you wish to be effective at survival. A slave owner would not be able to survival for long in today's environment. But 500 years ago it was almost the opposite. Owning slaves raised your survival. Because the environment was so different. Humans have changed their environment so much that slavery became counter-productive. Which is why today slavery is no longer considered acceptable. The moral of the story is: your values are totally contingent on your survival needs, which change constantly as evolution progresses. And the rate of progress is accelerating. So newer generations are more different than they were in the past.

@Spence94 Since inner/outer is a duality, you should already suspect that this is a rather arbitrary distinction which must ultimately collapse. Inner affects the outer. Outer affects the inner. Because inner = outer. In truth everything is one! So work on both, work on THE ONE. If you're surrounded by an unhealthy, toxic environment, change it ASAP. That will free you up to do serious inner work. And if you're stuck in an environment with no idea of how to break free, change your inner game, which will allow you to escape that environment. You can burn the candle from both ends.

Yes, there definitely are generational differences as each generation of humans gets indoctrinated into newer, more advanced cultural ways of thinking. It's almost like with smartphones. Each new generation of smartphones comes with new, more advanced software. It is hard to install the latest software on old hardware, mostly due to rigidity of the mind. I'll have a video on this topic in the future.

@Maya_0 Yes, that's very common. Martin Ball writes & talks about that phenomenon a lot. When that happens all you gotta do is just remember to open your body up and be more symmetrical. This will help you surrender and open up your mind to the wisdom it's trying to download.

@ingurix In one sense: the opposite of enlightenment is ego, duality, Maya, or your present state of mind. In another sense: enlightenment has no opposite because Truth has no opposite. Falsehood is not really opposite of Truth because Truth is all there is and falsehood isn't really a thing (it is an illusion). From the unenlightened perspective enlightenment has an opposite. From the enlightened perspective there never was such a thing as unenlightenment. Enlightenment is TOTAL and ever-present. It is the only thing that is ever occurring, has ever occurred, or can ever occur. Enlightenment or nonduality means: no dualities, which means no opposites. You're basically asking: What is the opposite of no-opposites? Lol
