The top thing is teaching people to appreciate responsible, mature governance.

The Taliban is cackling at you.

West has endless cards. The West can support Ukraine indefinitely. It is like saying against Hitler, we have no cards left, before even entering the war. Even $100B per year is only 1/8th of the US military annual budget. And that's not even counting EU. Ukraine is a tiny expense for the US in the big picture.

It does not have to involve other psychedelics. You can achieve it with the same old psychedelic. Although it may be useful to try other psychedelics to find new possibilities. It's impossible to know ahead of time what will reveal what to you. If you get stuck on one, switch to another. But don't overlook how much work can be done even on one chemical.

If you think Trump will bring peace to the world you have learned nothing from me.

There is a You with endless free will. And what you willed is THIS. So what are you complaining about? Notice something very profound: no matter what you willed, you'd be sitting there complaining that it isn't good enough. Even God cannot placate a whiney child.

There is no mystery to it. Trump is an authoritarian whose only mission in life is to serve himself and anyone who kisses his ass at the expense of everyone else. Trump hates losers and weakness. So of course Trump will side with Putin over Zelensky. Trump respects Putin because Putin is a powerful authoritarian. Trump is disgusted by Zelensky because Zelenksy is a weak democratic liberal man in a losing position. If you can't understand this, you don't understand Trump at all. This is Trump 101.

Lex has become so corrupted by his personal friendships with Musk, Trump, and Rogan. Sad. Praying for peace doesn't work when you cannot see that your closest friends are devils.

1) I am conscious only in certain respects, not in all respects. There are many, many respects to consciousness and no human has them all. 2) You should not expect anyone to be able to heal their own physical conditions if their condition is serious enough. If reality worked like that then no awakened master would die or suffer from health problems. But in the end your health must fail and your body will stop working. It's only a question of time. 3) Why? Because I do not have infinite power. I can't heal myself for the same reason I cannot turn myself into a kangaroo.

Of course I know Bashar. He gives great advice. The problem I have with his "just follow you highest excitement" advice is that actualizing serious passion projects requires insane levels of discipline and doing shit you don't wanna do. Just because you are excited today does not mean you will be excited a year from now, but getting a project completed requires doing work even when would rather do something else. This is the hardest part of success: years of consistent discipline. Bashar's advice here feels naive and childish. Go try to complete a multi-million 5 year project by just following your excitement from day to day. Most of the time I work on a new Actualized video I am not highly excited about it, it's a grind. Especially after 10 years of doing it. I am not highly excited to do my taxes, clean my toilet, answer emails, fix broken servers, pay bills, moderate spammers, deal with trolls, meditate for hours on end, deconstruct my ego, etc, etc. Yet all that crap is necessary to make Actualized.org work.

That is not reasonable. That is bending over and letting Putin screw you in the ass.

I refuse to write words with two y's. That's not a real word. Those Ukrainians just don't understand how English works.

Hence we have war and his Trump peace talk is just bullshit from Trump. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that Trump was incapable of making a quick easy peace deal here. As if peace deals haven't been tried over the last 3 years. A peace deal wasn't made because Putin is unwilling to compromise because he thinks he can dominate Ukraine to get everything he wants. You can't compromise with someone who thinks we can just take everything he wants. A compromise here would require getting Putin to feel like he might otherwise pay a heavy price. Trump has made him feel the opposite.

He will take whatever positions he thinks he can get away with. It's opportunism. But Russia would presumably be able to keep the land it invaded. So it's a reasonable compromise. Zelensky basically cannot stop the war without some solid security guarantees as that would be suicidal. And anyway, it shows that Zelensky is not in this for personal power.

Lindsey Graham is a Trump asskisser. All he cares about is keeping his own power, which means not upsetting Trump.

Of course Ukraine needs hundreds of billions of more aid. It needs it as long as Putin keeps the war going.

But realistically that is the only way for Ukraine to have security guarantees so Putin cannot reinvade. Ukraine cannot take Trump's empty words of guarantee seriously in a peace deal. It is obvious that Trump will not put US troops into Ukraine to stop a second Putin invasion. That is why Zelensky needs NATO backing.

Why you troll us with Trump?

Zelensky literally offered to step down as president of Ukraine in exchange for an end to the war. Your understanding of the situation is inaccurate. Zelensky is behaving selflessly and honorably.

It's much worse than that. At this rate, Trump will get Zelensky killed. Don't forget that Zelensky's head is on the chopping block. Part of Trump's deal with Putin will probably included giving Putin Zelensky's corpse. You better believe that Putin wants to make a ceremonial example out of Zelensky. Zelensky still being alive and admired as a hero around the world is a direct insult to Putin's sense of power. Putin's aim is to do to Zelensky what he did to Nevalny. And Trump will facilitate it.

Trump's narcissism in that press conference is off the hook. Pure ego.

A sure way of driving yourself mad is to sit around every day wishing you were a bird.

That's all fine and good, but it is not God-Realization. God-Realization does not have or need a "God-Realizer". The realizer of God is God. Consciousness is just conscious. That's fine but still not God-Realization. No. False. The only thing here is God. This is an improper reductionism which misses the highest realization of what God can be. God can be total emptiness, but that is just one form of what God can be. You overprioritize it, which is a bias you impose on Consciousness and Yourself. You are free to impose that bias on yourself, since you are God, but it isn't necessary and it prevents you from accessing higher consciousness and understanding some of the things I'm pointing to. You are stuck doing the Buddhist reductionism shtick. I'm not saying that doesn't work. It works. But it misses a lot of good stuff. If you keep insisting on formlessness, you will have it. You can entirely lose your sense of self, but that does not make you infinitely conscious. But also, be careful fooling yourself. If you had completely lost your sense of self, you couldn't even recall your own name.

That issue is solved by simply dropping all your fantasies of how life ought to be. When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise. If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly. The goodness and intelligence of reality is not about pleasing or serving your fantasies. These two things are just not related. So I don't even think about the question you framed. Imagine if I asked you, "How do you reconcile that you are not a bird who can fly with God's goodness and intelligence?!
