Yes! That's what I am saying now. "Inside of consciousness" is identical to being consciousness. There only exists 1 thing: consciousness, period. The end. There is nothing else. This understanding is Absolute. It is true under all circumstances. Consciousness is not a feature of brains. Consciousness is the substance of "physical" reality.

So phrenology was not wrong? Newtonian mechanics was not wrong? Logical positivism was not wrong? Behaviorism was not wrong? Bloodletting with leeches was not wrong? Lobotomies were not wrong? Atomic theory was not wrong? Social Darwinism was not wrong? Need I continue? The errors of science are too numerous to list and explain.

I don't think so, I absolutely AM so. I said in my consciousness video that a rock is not conscious, but it is consciousness. Which is exactly what I am saying now. Go do some psychedelics cause you are clearly lost in your own mind beyond help. What I am saying isn't panpsychism, it is pure nonduality. You just lack the direct experience necessary to understand it.

It's much weirder than that! Dinosaurs are a concept in your head. You ain't never seen a dinosaur. And even if you had, unless you are looking one in the face right this second, it is a concept nonetheless. Your own birth is a concept! Your own head is a concept! Oh-oh... this isn't looking too good for you...

5-MeO-DMT is consciousness. Chemicals are consciousness. Everything is consciousness. When I snort 5-MeO, I am snorting myself. In the same way that I gave birth to myself out of my own vagina, since I am EVERYTHING. If it sounds ridiculous, that's on you. The truth is stranger than fiction. It's your job to surrender to it, not to judge it. Or... feel free to keep acting arrogant. The truth don't care how ignorant you are.

That is what a Catholic says when their church is accused of molesting children: stop bashing God. Science is being bashed for a reason: it gets a lot of stuff deeply wrong and it is corrupt. We can criticize the theortical foundations of science without rejecting technology in the same way that we can criticize corrupt politicians without rejecting government.

"Physical" is a concept you invented. There ain't no such thing.

Lol No! Of course not! Ego does not care about truth. Ego cares about self-preservation (illusion). Ego does not admit mistakes because ego is perfect. Science cannot be wrong, by definition. Ego cannot be wrong by definition. Only not-science can be wrong. Radical critiques of science are NOT okay! That is too dangerous to the collective scientific ego. Which is why science advances one dead scientist at a time, and scientific consensus is about 100 years out of date. After you're dead, science will be a bit better Think about this: if humans lived forever, science would stop working.

@28 cm unbuffed Only you can know what you need or don't need. But whatever you decide, I recommended you keep a habit of Kriya yoga, or meditation, or self-inquiry going. Even if just 30 minutes per day. That will slowly eat away at the ego and after some years your desires will naturally turn towards enlightenment. Psychedelic trips once a month is also a great habit. If you can't muster the courage to approach enlightenment head on, do it sideways through baby habits.

@rirdsaam Self-inquiry is necessary. Sit down and start questioning what you are. Try to point to yourself. Where exactly are you? What exactly are you? See Leo's Practical Guide To Enlightenment (pinned thread). Psychedelics speed up the process x1000. Kriya yoga also great.

Of course, that's nonduality 101. No ego = no control The whole point of meditation is to realize you are not in control of your thoughts. You (ego) ARE a thought! My video: Free Will vs Determinism, is all about this. God is in control of everything, so to speak. But then again, you are God! So it goes full-circle in a way that you will not be able to appreciate until after awakening.

I dunno, that contradicts his other quote:

@Sockrattes At the moment it was invented You have to understand that Spiral Dynamics did not exist 100 years ago. Electrons did not exist 300 years ago. Human rights did not exist 500 years ago. Mathematics did not exist 10,000 years ago. Etc. All of these are conceptual schemes which cannot exist until they are invented. For example, the notion of a subconscious mind did not exist until Sigmund Freud invented it 100 years ago. Think about that! There was no subconscious mind before it was invented by a human! And then it appeared one day. The ancient Greeks did not have subconscious minds! You do! There were no electrons 300 years ago, now they exist! Ta-da! YOU are inventing all this shit while vehemently denying that you are doing so. You even invented the concept of your own birth. That's how you came into being! You did not exist until you thought, "I exist". And you will die as soon as you realize, "I never existed!" Ta-da! (Of course by "you" here I mean the ego, not the Absolute. The Absolute is eternal.)

@How to be wise A stage Red or Blue person cannot have full emotional mastery because they are fundamentally deluded by ego at that stage. They can have a peak mystical experience, but they will not have full emotional mastery because that is a stage far beyond even enlightenment. That requires unimaginable degrees of consciousness which a stage Red or Blue person could not muster. The whole point of being at Red/Blue is that you are resisting full emotional mastery. If you got it, you'd transcend Red/Blue. At least at this day and age. 2000 years ago might have been a bit different because culture was so underdeveloped.

No, I do not consume addictive substances. If psychedelics were addictive, I would not use them.

Indeed, you can eat people. Go for it. The reason you don't is because it is like shooting yourself in the foot, because identify with being human. Likewise, as your ego dissolves, you will start to identify with the entire universe, including animals, and you will have more compassion, so you will probably not want to participate in factory farming. At a high level of consciousness you will realize that swatting a fly is killing yourself. And you will also realize that there cannot be life without death.

@Mafortu Arguments and reasons are a stage Orange paradigm. Turquoise does not act to be good from reason. Goodness is inherent to Turquoise consciousness. There is no reason to be good. You be good simply because you want to. For no reason! Or be a selfish prick. Either one is good. Whatver turns you on. To be truly good is to realize there is no difference between good and bad. When your ego dissolves you will start to identify more with everything, including animals, and you will probably not want to play a part in factory farming, etc. But you also won't make a big self-righteous stink about it because you will realize there cannot be life without death.

@isabel By that logic, why not eat people?

Beat me to it Failing that, a juicy spiritual book. Something non-popular but deep. Although if your teacher is already woke, he probably doesn't want a book.

Challenging the materialist rationalist paradigm = banned Whatever you do, don't call science a delusion, or you will spoil the scientists' delusion

Whatever juicy insights you think you get on weed will be 100x deeper on LSD. So that's really LSD's selling point. LSD is the second most beautiful substance (after 5-MeO).

Journaling, contemplation, and visualization should help a lot with this. You could use just these 3 techniques + psychedelics to totally transform yourself within a couple of years. But you must do them consistently. And Kriya yoga too! Kriya is excellent for raising your baseline level of consciousness to almost mild psychedelic levels.

Enlightenment is waking up to the fact that all of this is a dream. Development is about fashioning this dream to be the best that it can be. Even once you awaken, the dream will still continue and you will have to do something. Even doing nothing is doing something.

Your whole existence is a placebo
