There are relative truths and there is Absolute Truth. "Elephants are large" is a relative truth.

Understanding what God is.

@Davino Yup. That's The Work. The only real work is Truth/Love.

Lol, are you fucking kidding me?

Sure. Empathy, compassion, or just love. It's all interrelated with Truth/Love.

Italian greyhound is my fave dawg.

Of course not. Truth is an Absolute.

They require a farm. Large outdoor space. They are farm dogs.

Just add a few drops of vinegar and it becomes the right form. Freebase is a good form. It is most versatile.

Moral realism is untennable, since bad is relative to having a finite self. Moral realists are like children who believe up and down exist in the universe, independent of them. Up and down exists FOR YOU.

Of course. So what?

They will traumatize you at high doses. Mushrooms are no joke. Those are called truffles. Yes, truffles require much more weight to equal true mushrooms. What you took was like 2 grams of proper mushrooms.

The biggest problem for moralists is normativity. They don't understand that normativity is their own fiction. Notice that all moralistic people expect everyone to adhere to their personal morality. That is the delusion. This happens because they are so self-absorbed they never even considered relativity.

Alien hound from Hell. Confirmed.

What I said is very advanced, requiring a decade or more of consciousness work using a variety of means. Yes, yoga, meditation, psychedelics all help. That's why I said Kriya yoga.

@PolyPeter Very cute.

In the vein of: If my cat had wheels he'd be a wagon.

I still enjoyed it.

Of course. That is the teaching. That is the work.

These are all identical.

Kriya yoga is the way. As far as trying to get happiness through the validation of others, you need to completely disconnect your happiness from others and ground it in the beauty of Consciousness itself. Nothing any human thinks matters. The only thing that matters is Consciousness. Keep contemplating that until it becomes your lived reality. Keep disconnecting your happiness from how others think or see you. Stop caring about wanting them to see you as good. If others see you as good, refuse to get pleasure from that. Train yourself to see that what humans think is existentially irrelevant.

It is a rich notion that encompasses a lot of stuff. It includes Truth itself, but also one's relationship towards it. To be truthful, to care about truth, to live truthfully, to use the mind in truthful ways. The whole point of this work is to develop a profound, sacred relationship to Truth. Because you ARE Truth. You can see that no elite, no politician, no billionaire has this relationship. This relationship is what I teach. I gave up being a billionaire, for Truth.

I have a much deeper notion of truth than an English speaker. Truth is not a matter of English or langauge. Truth is to exist. Things only exist because they are Truth. Nobody understands this except those who are profoundly Awake. But truth also refers to honesty and such. In English truth mostly refers to mental ideas that reflect the physical world.

Dude, many here care. You act like the world revolves around our wishes. We have discussed this issue to death on here.

I plan to read it. Probably worth a read.
