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?!

Well, firstly, I am not fully sure because I only just had it. It's an advanced and subtle effect. It creates a deep sort of buy-in effect since the mind now understands the why of things and how you're supposed to be using intelligence in a big picture sense, a spiritual sense. Deep spiritual understanding is not like a brute technique that you apply to generate tangible results, it's more of a subtle reorientation of the mind towards godliness. It has a clarifying and deepening effect. Your understanding of life, world, and self takes on a new richness and abstract appreciation. It actually makes you more intelligent when you understand the metaphysical structure of intelligence. You can start to use your intelligence in a more advanced, abstract, holistic, mystical, and beautiful manner. Think of it as your intelligence getting spiritualized, imbued with spiritual signifigance where as before it was merely material and utilitarian. Advanced spiritual intelligence isn't just practical, it's poetry, it's beauty. It's like your mind learns how to dance and surf the waves of consciousness. This aesthetic quality is very important and lost on people who just care about material "practical" results. The point of spirituality is to bask in the beauty of God, to recognize and appreciate its genius.

Everything I say is practical.

It goes much deeper than human living. It is a metaphysical condition of reality. Intelligence simply leads to the absolute perfection of existence because Intelligence, Good, and Perfection are identical. The more intelligence you act with, the closer to Good the universe gets. You can have absolute trust that intelligence will lead you to the highest good. But the trick is that it must be true intelligence, not self-deception, and also the highest good is not the same as what your ego wants or expects. The highest good might lead you to getting burned at the stake. But if you are seriously intelligent even that will not matter.

It dawned on me that Trump could screw Ukraine up really badly. He can offer Zelensky security guarantees but later never deliver on it when Putin reinvades a few years from now. And then Ukraine will be totally screwed and Putin will surely exploit this. Zelensky better be super careful not to accept any of Trump's empty words. -
The self-organization of being towards God, Good, Love. Because God needs to move towards its own completion. This requires reorganizing all its parts until they flow together holistically enough to comprehend themselves and realize Unity.
-
Is it intelligent to set the bar so high no one will clear it?
-
That's a better way to phrase it. Intelligence is Good/Love-seeking. Like a heat-seeking missile tuned to find Absolute Unity no matter what happens.

It is from the ultimate view. But humans could behave in smarter ways by applying more consciousness to their lives. It's like telling your child that he could stop biting himself.

Physical healing didn't work for me. I have not renounced psychedelics. I told you that my health stops me from using them. -
It's close. A more direct God-Realization would involve a more intimate turning of attention inside yourself to notice that you are God. God can be realized as other than you, as outside yourself, or more fully as you the human body. You can take various angles on God. You just need to explore more angles, especially ones that involve turning your focus back towards your human body so that God is not being externalized as an object outside you.

If she is already attracted then you should focus on building rapport so she is comfortable sleeping with you. Just maintain a playful flirty vibe, and a man-woman vibe, so she's clear that you have a dick, that you have sexual intent, and that you're not her gay friend. You can do that by sprinkling in a few sexually-charged compliments into your conversation like, "Damn, you're a cutie" or "I want to see you from behind" or "You make me think impure thoughts". Or just look at her in a sexual intimate way. If she's clearly attracted you can just ask her out on a date. Keep the date low key, like coffee or ice cream.

Ethnocentrism is the priveleging of one's own enthnicity over all others. The clearest example of this is Zionism or Nazism. It is self-bias at the level of ethnic identity. -
There is deeper understanding to be had than that video, although of course it still holds.
-
Ideology is an insult to God's intelligence which resides within you.

It's a complex matter that requires videos.

Yeah, that is stage Blue-Orange ethnocentrism. Lefties are so naive they think ethnocentrism isn't important. Most humans in the world are motivated by ethnocentrism. -
@Princess Arabia Great minds wear alike

Red meat to feed the fascist manosphere base. Afterall, that's where they will recruit the Brownshirts from.

I read stories that he has some babies via lab insemination. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Not as much trauma as Musk being an absent father.

Yes, it's a great reminder and dispeller of Maya. I'm sure there is but I have not reached it yet. Strictly speaking there is a difference between dissolution of the human ego vs God-Realization or higher consciousness. These are not the same thing and they often do not coincide. You can have one without the other. Many so-called enlightened people may not have much of a sense of self, but that does not mean they have higher consciousness of God. And you can have higher consciousness of God but still a strong sense of human self. To have both would be exceptionally rare. Yes. But it wasn't really a object, more like the field of consciousness itself became hyper-dimensional. You can have a hyper-dimensional experience of Love itself. Imagine if Love was the hyper-dimensional object.

@OBEler As I said, my health doesn't allow it. Unless my health improves I must do without them. It is not even a choice.

That's what the crocodile backscratcher is for: https://crocodiledarwin.com/en-us/products/crocodile-claw-backscratcher Fear not. I have a more profound comprehension of the ego and all its devilish ways than ever before thanks to my sober work. I could write a whole course on just how to understand and unwind the ego. Sober work has forced me to work more on my embodiment.
