You enlightenment scoundrels.

My cult will have everyone sipping Capri Suns.

My God. The nonsense you guys concoct. Don't make me chase you with a broom.

You turned my nondual metaphor into a dualistic one, thereby ruining it.

Yeah, of course. You're tapping into the Infinite Imagination aspect of Consciousness. It's like a primodial soup of imagination and it tends to be very choatic, unlike the material dream. This is a bad metaphor because in the case of Consciousness everything merges into One.

Any psychedelic can take you deeper than you can handle. If you take 10g of mushrooms you will be in another universe. But it will also truamatize you. That's a meaning you're creating. It can mean whatever you want it to mean. Welcome

@Javfly33 The issue here is that you're just insecure and have a weak frame. It takes lots of experience to know how to handle a woman. They don't hate you. You're just frustrated in your lack of skill at handling them. And, of course, you are not meant to click with every woman. Some women are just wrong for you.

Here's the most interesting question: Assuming none of these cases ever get taken to court because they fail to clear that high bar, and assuming these women aren't lying, how do they get justice? And how do they change the culture of toxic masculinity which Russell was exhibiting? See? This issue isn't just about one bad man doing illegal things, it's about changing the culture to reduce abusive behavior. And so, here we are. The real issue is that most sexual abuse does not clear the high bar of pure illegality. So how do we as a society handle that? It is not realistic to expect women to just ignore it.

Demon butterflies! A whiff of it. Or Beauty. God is Infinite Beauty.

But you will die. So all is good. Make a habit of not worrying about things you cannot change.

Don't insult me.

This has nothing to do with it. Do not muddle Consciousness with human crap. It's you who is clinging to your humanity and using that to corrupt pure Consciousness.

I rarely trip in the dark. Darkness is suitable for certain psychedelics but not others. I don't see it as the same thing.

@Tudo I agree it's unnecessary nowadays.

He's gettin' MeTooed hard.

Russians trapped mink for centuries to trade their fur. Moscow was built on fur trading.

God's imagination. Congrats! Maybe next time it will be demons. Personally I'm a fan of demons and dragons

The Sam Harris business model: selling atheism to spiritual fools. What an achievement!

The mushroom is the cheat code. Physical things ARE mind. But you are right, in theory. In practice you aren't conscious enough to just get by with your mind. Sometimes you're just gonna have to kick down some doors.

I can't say I have experienced no human left. That truly requires physical death in my understanding. But I've been close and it feels like your consciousness is freed up to dream anything it wants. All sorts of random and chaotic things. One time I did become conscious of an entirely new thing which I called inverse consciousness. No, I cannot describe it to you. It's nothing you can imagine.

God is not merely a thing you learn. God is the dream itself. You cannot treat God as just one more piece of content within consciousness. God is consciousness itself. Of course your ideas about God are content within consciousness. But even so, those ideas can still be valid and useful so there's nothing technically wrong with that. As long as you don't lose track of God itself. Ideas can either help you keep track of God or lose track of God. So not all ideas are equal in that regard.

It's still not the highest consciousness. There's only so much consciousness a human can take without it causing you serious mental and physical problems. A human is just not designed to be that conscious. It's like using a cheat code in a video game. That's still not the same thing as the freedom that a game programmer has.

"God mode" as a human is still quite limited in what you can imagine. For full God mode you'd need to physically die first. Your human life prevents full God mode. Also, in my experience what you imagine interferes and conflicts, so imagining everything at once doesn't work. Dreams exclude other dreams. States exclude other states. You can't be hungry and full at the same time. You can't be drunk and sober at the same time.

Have you ever fucked in a dream? It feels totally real. Last night I had a dream of aliens surgically implanting tracking devices into my arm and leg. It felt so real I woke up freaked out. The material world is as imaginary as the sleeping world. Just more vivid and stable.

The higher degree of consciousness you reach, the more physical reality will melt before your eyes into a liquid mindscape. Higher consciousness is liquid, lower consciousness is solid. If you become conscious enough, your couch can literally melt into a talking dragon. This is a good example of what I mean by "higher consciousness". You ain't really conscious until you start seeing dragons. One time I became so conscious I started seeing dragons and demons crawling between the gaps in empty space. That's when things get interesting. That's when you really start to understand CONSCIOUSNESS.
