That's your own problem.

Shush! He has made a serious and valuable post and you are being ungrateful.

@Water by the River Thank you for the effort and thought you put into your posts and explanations of Buddhism. There's some good stuff in what you quote. And I see what is being gotten at there. There's definitely value to that. However, I still insist that the God-Realization I speak of is beyond that and cannot be attained via those methods. Although I do not dismiss that those attainments you mention are very good and valuable, and perhaps that's the most a human mind can attain as a permanent state. But Alien Consciousness is completely beyond everything those Buddhists understand or have ever achieved. And THAT is the real difference between what I teach and what every other spiritual human on this planet teaches. Again, the problem is that Buddhism is reductionistic. It tries to boil consciousness down to emptiness. It tries to deconstruct consciousness. Which is NOT what I am teaching and not the highest consciousness. To truly fathom consciousness requires a non-reductionist approach in which consciousness grasps itself at the highest level. None of this Buddhism even begins to touch the highest level of Alien Mind which I have discovered. You will not reach Alien Consciousness through any kind of monitoring techniques of your thoughts. And so as I have said before, Buddhism is fine, it gets you to certain levels of consciousness. But nowhere near the levels which I have been to. No, we are not talking about the same Awakening. And that's the whole rub.

It takes a lot of skill to vibe right off the bat with a total stranger. And some settings are harder to vibe in. The biggest obstacles to vibing are 1) fear and 2) being stuck in your logical mind. If you can work those two out of your mind then vibing becomes easy. Yes, of course. Mostly that's an inner game issue. Of course it's easier to vibe in a place where it feels socially acceptable. The whole point of a bar or nightclub is to make it socially acceptable and easy to vibe (by being drunk). Nothing is wrong with you. Being able to vibe on command in any environment is a highly specialized skill. Few people are naturals at it. Realistically it takes years of practice to develop. It's much easier if you're an extreme extrovert and much harder if you're an extreme introvert like me. Go out, have 1-2 drinks, and try vibing with a girl. You'll see. A good exercise for you is to go out for a week and just keep asking yourself "What is vibing?" Look for it and contemplate it until your mind groks what it is.

I was never canceled.

@TheAlchemist She doesn't have the ability to PM you, but you can PM her. Sounds like a nice place you found.

@Bobby_2021 You can't wreck Biden in a debate if he's too sleepy to show up

@OBEler When your quantities are so small then your results may be highly variable. Half your dose might just not absorb for whatever random reason.

@OBEler If you haven't had direct consciousness of what another is, then it's best to just admit to yourself, "I don't know", rather than inventing speculative stories. Also, I suggest that you try to gain direct conscious of what it is I'm pointing to when I say that God is Absolute Solipsism. And then after you grasp that, try to push yourself further and see if you can find a consciousness that's even beyond that! Maybe you can't. And maybe you can. Give it a try. This is good territory to explore in your trips. In this way you will avoid falling into the trap of believing me or Ralston.

Sweden has a much smaller prison system, much less crime, and much more resources per capita.

One of the best ways to learn is to befriend a "natural" and closely watch him work girls over. It's amazing. Naturals are better than professional PUA coaches. I have a natural friend in Vegas who's so good at talking with girls it's just unfair. I learned a lot from just observing his attitude and vibe. Getting girls boils down to vibing. It's not even about approaching or talking, it's about vibing.

@OBEler When it comes to this specific issue you need direct consciousness/awakening, not abstractions. You can do abstractions for other, less existential issues. You can have an awakening specifically into the question: What is other? That's what you're after here. Ralston is right to emphasize that speculation on this matter is a waste of time. Moreover, adopting solipsism as a belief is likely to create needless suffering for you, as you start to feel isolated and depressed.

Consider that what you really want is enjoyment, not a title. You'd get much more enjoyment from just playing the game than from any kind of title. A chess title is irrelevant to a resume unless you are a chess teacher or professional player.

I generally don't like doing that. There are many ways I could have maximized my profits. But I didn't want to waste my time doing such things.

Kriya yoga is designed to help with this as it slowly rewires the nervous system. Traditional meditation is very weak unless you do it in hardcore retreat settings for dozens of hours at a stretch. If you only have 1-2hrs per day for practice, yoga is gonna be your best chance for results.

It plays a part. You don't need my blessing to educate yourself.

Realistically you are not going to become a completely different person in a few years, and that expectation will tend to hinder you. You need a longer timeline of more like 10 years+. But then again, it may not be a good idea to think so far ahead so that you can focus on the next few years. If you really wanna change you gotta be patient and realistic about it.

Basically, question everything and psychedelics. My job is to help people question deeply.

Sashguru's Isha centers in India maybe? India is probably your best bet if you want something cheap. Nicer countries will cost a lot. Perhaps you can find stuff in cheap countries like Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia.

@Majed Do whatever you want. But if you want my opinion, I consider all of that games, unrelated to what I pursue in my spiritual work. My focus is on helping guide people to extremy profound and rare understanding of reality. That is my bias. If you are looking for something else then you will have lots of disagreements with things I say.

Sigh...

Personally I enjoy studying history purely for its own sake. If you want to study religion as a historical, cultural phenomenon I got not issue with that. But a problem arises if that kind of study is confused with spiritual progress. It can easily become a distraction, as it does for most religious people. Sure, look at other sources. I recommend modern sources over ancient ones because the ancient ones are so obscure. Do whatever you want but I cannot endorse organized religion or the Christian church. It creates too much delusion in my view. --------- Look, in the end you guys do spirituality however you feel like. I advance a certain set of teachings and values which are not going to suit everyone. I advance them because I find them to be very powerful and novel. This comes with certain tradeoffs and costs. If you want to stand on your head while screaming the name of Jesus Christ as your spiritual practice, what am I supposed to say to that? Is it wrong? Should you do it?

It's possible to make some state changes stable or "permanent", thus turning a state into a stage.

Awakening is a very radical, non-ordinary shift in your state of consciousness in which you become aware that you are not a human but God. There is no mistaking it for development or even ordinary self-awareness. Awakening is NOT a stage. It is a state.

@Majed Once you understand God you don't need any books. In fact, all those books will seperate you from God.
