They hold dogma and delusion. Their view is not how God works. The position is to do serious inquiry and question everything until you jailbreak your mind from all human things and realize God. In practical terms, live your life wisely to minimize self-inflicted suffering from dumb decisions, such as smoking, drinking, texting while driving, swimming with crocodiles, etc. Nothing about my work changes the common sense notion of living in a way that minimizes harm to yourself and others. Whether God exists or not doesn't change this. You must live very carefully either way. For you to be happy in life you must design your life around your top values. If your top values are being violated you will never be happy.

If you are fun and playful and extroverted it makes no difference what you say or how agreeable you are. The key is to be in a playful state.

The real problem is not that he votes, but that our system platforms him to tens of millions of impressionable people as if his view has any import. Rogan has become a platform for toxic levels of celebrity ignorance. As long as they are famous enough and friendly enough with Rogan they can go on there and say whatever nonsense they want and get praise for it.

If my words bother you, you should not be talking about unconditional anything.

@Lucasxp64 Enough of this online time-wasting. Go out and talk to real girls. That's what you are procratinating on with these online games. You cannot learn to be good with girls over a computer. It is too safe and too easy. It's a gimmick. Solving this issue requires real work. Embrace the work, the challenge, the fear. You will be so glad you took the plunge.

Caring about people isn't the issue. The issue is when you care about a small tribe of "your" people at the expense of everyone else. And also the issue is that by socializing with them you fall into group-think, not thinking about reality on your own. You not only get corrupted by survival and ego, you then get corrupted a second time by social survival and collective ego. So you are doubling up on survival bias.

There is no substitute for lack of health. You either find a cure or you live half a life.

Lots of toxins and bad chemicals everywhere. The human organism is not made for such.

He went out of his way to share a resource with you. Don't be ungrateful. Why would he share anything with you again if you adopt that attitude?

It comes from a consciousness of the miracle that is existence. Don't know. Certainly genetics is a factor because a chimpanzee has no appreciation of existence. But I don't know about whether a typical human is lacking the genetics or is just so brainwashed and mindless. Very few.

Because understanding existence is the only thing that has any importance.

Those aren't notes, that is an outline for a talk. I rarely make notes at all these days. I only write down my own insights. And those look similar to what I post in black on the blog. I have it but I rarely use it anymore because I just work intuitively in my mind most of the time, unless it's some special situation like making a course or writing a book. My whole approach becomes more and more intuitive and loose rather than formal and technical.

There is no problem reading spiritual stuff. Some of that is necessary. This misses the whole beauty of Awakening. The difference is I went beyond all that. I know things this guy could not imagine. I did just read him to see the gist of it. Nothing wrong with reading him.

Well, that's a big mistake. Truth requires understanding. That's not the issue. The issue is lack of consciousness and understanding. Everything that comes and goes is Truth, but there is way more to Awakening and God than that. Don't assume that your guy comprehends God. He's parroting a lot of boilerplate nonduality, which he learned from following some other guy like himself without question, which you will now repeat. And on the chain of human spiritual ignorance goes. God is way more profound and advanced than all that. But I appreciate you sharing this document. It has its place.

Not until now. I skimmed the PDF and it's pretty standard enlightenment teachings, like dozens I've read before. I have grown sick of this sort of teaching since it gives no real understanding of Consciousness. But if it works for you, great.

Yeah, that works. It's a lot of material to comb through before commenting on it meaningfully.

YT has a playlist of all his satsangs:

The link does not work.

People cannot even being to comprehend what horrors reality has in store for you. Whatever happiness you have, cherish it, because it can be gone in a flash. I do not teach unconditional happiness any more because it is a fantasy.

I don't need to believe it. He did it.

You can take your grievances to the Almighty when you're dead. My badge is #666999.

The insight is that awakening and spirituality will not give you good politics because politics requires domain-specific contemplative work and research, which spiritual people are not interested in because they are still all operating on group-think. Awakening and mystical experience does not solve the group-think problem nor the epistemology problem. You can have all the enlightenment and still be a cognitive and political bum. Which is why we devote a chunk of this work to upgrading our political understanding. This is why Actualized is a radically holistic project and not just merely self-inquiry.

It's not the same. Verizon does not have a social media platform. I have a certain responsiblity when running this forum to prevent abuse. Imagine if I did no moderation of this forum and anyone was allowed to join and do anything.

He's another one of these anti-woke milkers.
