Should work now. Let me know if it doesn't.

Should work now. Let me know if it doesn't.

I'm working on it.

He has some wise ideas. But gotta think everything through critically.

Welcome back.

I am designing a new kind of psychedelic group retreat. It is fully legal and will be held in Las Vegas. The purpose is not for fun but to do serious God-Realization with guidance from me. This is an experimental thing which is still in the planning stages. Who is interested?

You are an angel.

Discuss: This guy says there's a UFO housed in Las Vegas!!

That is called death. This goes so deep that you are imagining time, past, and "how long". If God doesn't imagine it, there exists nothing. Not even time or a past. When you ask: What was I in a past life? God has to invent something, otherwise there is nothing. Could God imagine that you were Cleopatra in a past life? Sure. Is it really true? True becomes whatever God imagine deeply enough to convince itself. God could dream up such a scenario if it wanted to. But maybe it doesn't want to. Yes, possible. But that wouldn't be anything like human life. That would more like a dream.

I have never done oral with a condom. That sounds ridiculous.

Condoms are a huge problem for me. The sex is just not good with them. And without them the risk is not worth the pleasure. Jerking off is better than condom sex.

All Mods will be replaced with my swarm of AI girlfriends.

Cheers!

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm aware of it now and working to resolve it. Should be fixed within a few days.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Orange thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Orange. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Orange thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Orange. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

It's better than any other manual method. I will at some point. These two things don't combine. You can do both, but it's not a combination.

The entire line of argument is stupid, biased, misleading, and false. DMT can produce more than enlightenment within 30 seconds. Not a single Ralston student will ever reach that level of consciousness in their lives.

Be careful adding materialist explanations to it. If you look at what it is, it's purely feelings.

Texture is a feeling.

Find both in your direct experience. Point it.

That's not higher states of consciousness.

In a certain paradoxical sense, yeah. Your friends and family will certainly feel like you're being selfish for neglecting their survival. Humans have a twisted sense of selflessness: where being selfless means serving their survival.

Girls do this all the time. It's their problem, not yours. Girls don't take responsibility for being slutty. So don't worry about it. Don't take their bullshit seriously. Impossible to say. But 1-2 is great. 3-4 is not ideal but acceptable. 5+ is bad. A lot depends on how much time has passed.

Is that true? 1) No post-modernist knows this is true. It's just a belief. 2) Even if it was true. That would be Truth. Post-modernism is incoherent. It destroys itself. These people have no proof that any perspective other than theirs exists. The whole notion of perspective needs to be questioned and deconstructed. Where did anyone even get the idea of "Perspectives exist". This isn't proven. These people are mindless. They are not thinking. They are just parroting shit their friends parrot. You can twist a post-modernist's nipple. Then when get angry at you, you tell them, I never twisted your nipple. When they insist otherwise, tell them that's not true because truth doesn't exist. Post-modernists are idiots. So never fear them.

Passion works everywhere, but in 3rd world countries it takes longer to bootstrap yourself from nothing. You need a highly pragmatic strategy to make the passion viable. It can't be utopian passion where you just hope it magically works. You need a plan with concrete steps and goals and pathway to profit.
