Speech is freer today than it has ever been in any time in human history. Stop listening to the intellectual dark web crybabies.

Yup, that's exactly how it tends to go. Although 360ug is a massive amount of LSD. A wonderful substance.

@phoenix666 I don't understand why part 1 would work, but not parts 2 & 3. It's the exact same video player. Maybe try Google Chrome browser. Are you viewing this on a mobile device? Try another device/PC.

@kieranperez Test and see. Should be promising.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's set a good example for newbies here. Stop sniping at each other. It accomplishes nothing. Don't make your posts here personal. And any grudges you hold against another member, just drop it.

@Preetom Glad to be of service

Do the hard work.

@WildeChilde Politics is just ego trying to justify its selfish positions. It is never supposed to be fair, honest, truthful, or to end. The hamster spins on the wheel until it's dead. The counter-intuitive move is to rise above the whole dynamic, seeing it as a red herring.

@Durka_Durka You're too focused on action. Don't worry about that. Fixing your self-esteem is INNER work. You don't have to do everything you write. Consciousness is being raised by the exercises. The exercises ARE the action in this case. Stop guilting yourself and allow yourself to just do the exercises without expectations or rules, without needing some kind of outcome. As your self-esteem & consciousness increases, your action-taking abilities will also increase. Action != self-esteem

If you do not become conscious that purpose, meaning, and value are created by your ego-mind, you will forever be a slave to self-survival and never reach the deepest levels of nonduality. It is absolutely vital that you guys become conscious of what meaning, purpose, and value really are. Your entire deluded life hinges on those 3 things. The slate needs to be wiped clean. You need to come face-to-face with the fact that life is utterly meaningless. Only then does spirituality begin. "Living in the moment" or BEING is not a purpose, nor is there any meaning in it. Sit down and contemplate: "What is meaning? Where does it come from?" Another exercise you can do every morning is to look around the room and tell yourself, "Every object in this room is totally meaningless and valueless." Focus on each object and tell yourself, "This object meanings nothing." Then move on to the next object. Don't make any excuses or exceptions for any objects. Don't even make an exception for your body, your child, your cat, your dog, your spouse, your wallet, etc. They are all meaningless.

Realistically, you're not going to know. You gotta keep probing it over and over again for years. Your understanding of the topic will keep deepening. A topic like Fear you could contemplate for decades and still find new insights there. Fear is a huge topic. Fear runs your entire life in many subtle ways. Fear also runs humanity and civilization at large.

@Shakazulu Get to Pranayama ASAP. You're wasting time with all that beginner pose stuff. Pranayama is where the results lie.

@Highest From the absolute's perspective there is no evolution. Everything exists eternally, simultaneously as an infinite singularity. From the relative perspective, human beings perceive time and linear cause/effect. So in this sense there is evolution. Evolution appears to occur inside the dream. This explanation makes no logical sense. And yet it is true.

Bordem is just something you will have to face down on the journey to enlightenment. The ego is like a shark in water, always moving forward, always looking to the future or past to escape the present moment. Bordem is really just the ego being present and slowly dissolving. It takes a long time to dissolve. Many hundreds of hours. Eventually, if you can face it for long enough, there should be a breakthrough, and once that happens, Being will become magical and interesting. The ego-mind finds Being boring. The point of solo retreats is to face the bordem head on. You can't really face it effectively without doing long retreats. Ordinary life has far too many distractions. It takes a few weeks of isolation to really face it. There's no shortcut. You gotta man up and make the time to face it. It will be very challenging. Especially if you have media addictions.

We got a whole Journals sub-forum, so moving yours there.

Maybe they are both stage Turquoise, playing as stage Red/Orange, playing 100 moves ahead of us to disrupt the elite globalists and spread peace and love across the world

It HAS limited itself to unity. What you're missing is that unity = disunity. True unity contains all possible disunities. In the same way that true freedom contains all possible forms of enslavement. Think about it. There is no true freedom unless you are free to enslave others. (Freedom within human governments is not freedom, but the opposite: limitation). The function of government is to limit freedom. Because true freedom is way too radical and dangerous for the ego to cope with. True freedom means death, which is the last thing you want. Unity doesn't create, it just is. Creation isn't a process, creation is unity. Creation appears to look like a process from your POV because you are under the illusion that time is real. In fact, time is a concept. Why does God allow evil? Because God is all-allowing. God allows EVERYTHING. God cannot discriminate. Which literally means that God cannot see evil. To God, evil cannot exist, other than as delusion. Because in TRUTH, nothing is evil. Evil can only exist as falsehood. For God to create evil, it has to lie to itself that evil exists. And that's how evil is born, as an illusion within the eyes of God incarnated as a human being. Only human beings are deluded enough to see evil in the world. God is too smart to see evil, so it has to make itself stupid (born as a human) to experience evil. A human is just a retarded version of God. Why would God retard itself? Because God is unlimited, it must allow every possible thing, including every possible retardation of itself, from a microbe to an ant to a monkey to a human. But Leo, I don't like being retarded! Well, that's cause you're a selfish retard. If you were really smart, you'd see retardation is necessary to complete the whole. There cannot be infinity without retardation. That's very simple. What you're failing to comprehend (because you are stuck in the duality paradigm) is that nonduality and duality are IDENTICAL! There exists only one thing: Infinity. That's where you find yourself sitting right now. Smack in the middle of this infinity. This infinity includes nothing, and everything simultaneously. God doesn't really "create" anything. Creation is not something that occurs through time. Creation is NOT a process. Creation is. Like a giant static singularity. God is all things all the time. God cannot help being all things because that's what limitlessness means. To be unlimited is to be EVERYTHING all at once. Duality was never really created. It was always just an aspect of nonduality. ONENESS is so ONE that it contains all possible divisions of itself. In the same way that pure white light contains all the colors of rainbow inside itself. White light doesn't create red, blue, green, yellow, etc. White light is IDENTICAL to red, blue, green, yellow, etc. A carton of eggs contains: 0 eggs, 1 egg, 2 eggs, 3 eggs, 4 eggs, 5 eggs, 6 eggs, 7 eggs, 8 eggs, 9 eggs, 10 eggs, 11 eggs, and 12 eggs -- ALL AT THE SAME TIME! A carton of eggs does not create 3 eggs. It is BEING 3 eggs already! That's what carton means. Is it true that there are 3 eggs in a full carton of eggs? Yes! Now imagine an infinite carton of eggs. You are one of those eggs, and also the whole carton. It's the opposite. It's like waking up from being asleep. Asleep is what you are now. You are asleep to the fact that many-ness is identical to ONENESS. You're failing to notice the ONENESS, because you believe you're alive and separate from other things. According to duality, there is a difference between duality and nonduality. But according to nonduality, there isn't.

@WildeChilde What does this have to do with consciousness? Success != consciousness A con artist can be very successful on the surface for short periods of time. That's self-survival 101. Evil 101. And you should further distinguish showmanship and displays of success vs true success. Photo opp != success P.S. Not everything Trump does is automatically bad. Even dictators do good things sometimes.

It's very simple. Just tighten your taint muscles like you're trying to hold your urine in. Tighten your butt hole too. Tighten that whole area and hold it tight. It will feel stressful.

1) There is no how. All knowledge is nontrival and delusion-prone. 2) Absolute Truth is not an experience or knowledge. It is DIRECT. You are it. You will only understand that with an enlightenment experience. An enlightenment experience is not really "an experience" and it is not knowledge. It's not anything you've ever encountered in your life yet. It's a 3rd type of thing which is totally unknown to you as being possible. Hence it comes as a shocking surprise. 3) The Absolute is self-knowing and self-validating because it is Absolute. It is true under all circumstances. It's not something you need to trust. It is raw pure TRUTH! How that's possible cannot be known to you until you awaken.

@robdl Sure, anything can be abused. The whole process is relative. It's all about where you are now and where you need to go next. You have insights and then you outgrow them, have some more, outgrow them, and so on. You're not gonna go from newbie to Zen master in one giant leap. It's gonna be a long, slow, grueling process of having dozens and hundreds of various insights. You're going mature every day a little bit. Some days a lot. Some days, you will regress.

You are never going to succeed in this path without high quality theory. It's just full of too many traps, one of which is too much theory, another one of which is too little theory.
