Maybe it can. And maybe you're just dreaming all that up. After all, if you dreamed it up perfectly what would be difference? It's like, you want something to be "real" outside your own mind, beyond your own dream. You don't want to take responsibility for being able to dream without limits.

I don't judge her as a person, I just decide whether I would be satisfied sleeping with her. Because if I wouldn't be satisfied it would be a waste of her time.

What an assumption.

I see zero reason to judge a girl I saw for 0.5 seconds.

Breathing prana up the spine is the core practice and Ujjayi is just part of that. So that is essential. I skip Nadi Shodhana entirely. I am no yoga expert. I'm just telling what I do. It may or may not be right. But I strip everything down to the 20% that I believe gives 80% of the results.

Did you have to drop this turd in this thread?

@integral Jesus dude, chill. It's just some girl pics. You know nothing about her.

As much of a jackass as Prof Dave can be, some of Rogan's guests are so batshit that I gotta agree with Dave on this one.

0/10? Really?

You guys are both inflamming each other. Please stop it. OP posted a decent video. If you want to disagree with it, do so without personal attacks or trolling.

High doses of psychedelics can screw with your memory in surreal ways. So it's easy to misremember stuff you did in the material world.

The fact that anything at all exists is only possible thanks to trascendence/Infinity. You can't have anything physical unless a mind imagines it first.

@What Am I Beware of spiritual fantasies.

In a sense everything exists, but then it's just a matter of whether it materializes in your particular dream and under what conditions. Every finite object is filtered down from Infinity/Everythingness. Imagine Cat Infinity, which is a soup of every possible cat. And then the cat you see on the street is just one pulled from that soup. That's how it works.

Kangaroos and pizzas is a good trip!

You are correct in that qualia itself cannot decay. But your level or state of consciousness, and how conscious you are, can decay.

What it means for those things to exist is that you are making a claim that they will reliably arise in your experience under certain conditions. Under certain conditions Paris will enter your experience. Under no conditions will a flat earth enter your experience unless maybe you enter a totally new dream.

I once got a killer insight for a hot new fast-food chain: Dinosaur Bowls. Like Jurassic Park but you get to eat various dinosaurs that we clone back to life. Who doesn't want to know what a Pterodactyl tasted like? Could have been the tastiest meat ever. Dinosaur Pizza would be an instant best-seller.

Camels are amazing so any pizza for them must be a winner. Cactus pizza is really outside the box thinking. But there have been some cool submissions in this thread. Looking forward to more.

Those satellites fall to the sky all by themsleves. They have to be constantly replaced.

The human experience is equally absolute. Absolute is not the black void, it is the whole picture. The butterfly is absolute. That's the key.

That's my fave so far. Camel pizza

Mostly the only requirement I found necessary for coaching was that the client be at least 25 years old. Coaching people younger than that doesn't work so well because they are still young enough to just need the basic maturity that comes naturally with age. Of course I wouldn't coach people dealing with serious mental disorders because addressing that require specialized theraputic training which I don't have and am not interested in. Coaching drug addicts is also not something I would be interested in, since they need much more basic help. The basic distinction for coaching vs therapy is functional vs dysfunctional. Coaching is not designed for dysfunctional people but functional people who want to do even better.

That's right. I have developed a deep disdain for nondual teachings because of how badly they mischaracterize and mislead about the nature of consciousness. It's downright shameful and I wasted so much time trusting such people when in the end it turned out to be yet more human BS. But I am also sick of trying to explain it to you guys. Live with your human nonduality all you want. One of my biggest mistakes was trying to teach people who are not actually interested in serious learning. And trying to convince them of things. Arguing with nondualists or trying to teach them anything is the biggest waste of time.

Hard work only works given a certain genetic foundation. Nothing I said means hard work isn't required. It is required, but by itself it not enough. No matter how hard a chimpanzee works it will not be able to do arithmetic. People use the notion of hard work to delude themselves about the reality of genetics. Because they just take genetics for granted. So it's worse than you think. You need both genetics and hard work.
