@Adilbek I read your trip report. Yeah, you got a nice deep hit of God-Realization. Yes, it is insanity. Yes, everything and everyone is imaginary. No, you're not crazy and nothing is wrong. This is just the wonderful nature of Consciousness. It's an Absolute Illusion. Yes, it is difficult to integrate. My best advice to you is to start seeing the beauty of illusion. Reality is an Absolute Illusion and you shouldn't want it any other way! Once you embrace that, things get delicious. I recommend you continue doing low doses of mushrooms to help you develop a deep appreciation for illusion and Consciousness. You've already done the hardest part. Now you can reap the fruits. Don't turn your back on God so easily. Confront your remaining fears. Look God in the face. Just don't take high doses.

I remember watching this in the theater! 20 years ago! Jeez

It's more like 3 steps forward, 1 step back. So not too bad.

Beware of unearned wisdom.

It would work just as well as DMT. Even better actually because 5-MeO is much more potent per dose.

I emailed him. We'll see if he responds. The problem is most of these people don't respond to my emails.

@Dazgwny He debated Destiny and various leftists. I can't be so scary.

Everything revolves around God, which is you.

This is good.

That's why I call him the Orange Devil. Can't we all just agree to call him that?

Yes, of course. There are definitely some downsides and negatives. Progress is never 100% upside.

Yup

Or... You can act with integrity and accept the consequences.

Watch out for Big Porn. Oh God, Einsenhower's warnings about the Porn-Industrial Complex are coming true.

@Hardkill If you have to lie to your voters to get yourself elected to do the opposite of what you promised them, it's hard to imagine a greater evil/corruption.

Imagine an army of 1000 Jesuses wearing business suits all secretely working on Wall Street to save us from the evils of rampant capitalism.

@Treewatcher There is definitely an opportunity to build an online brand of helping people to think through problems and issues. Somthing like what the Healthy Gamer did, or even Destiny is in that ballpark. There do exist experts in cult deprogramming. There is also an opportunity to combine psychoptherapy with philosophy, or business consulting with philosophy.

The solution to this issue is easy: It is to realize that the ontological nature of reality is that it is consciousness, which is fluid and relative, not a collection of static material objects. The key mistake of rationalism is assuming that reality is made up out of crisp discreet parts and objects. It is not. There really is no such thing as a "child" or an "adult". These are convenient fictions that humans invented to help themselves navigate and survive. These things have no objective ontology at bottom.

@Hardkill Look man, it's all a function of what you let your mind focus on. If you wanna focus on the negative you can find endless shit to complain and cry about. But that way of seeing the world is a distortion and an illusion. You are letting your mind use you. Just a week ago you were doom and glooming us over Biden stepping down. Now Kamala is leading. Relax and trust the process a bit. Good stuff is always afoot.

Cars are WAY cleaner than the 80s. The smog clouds around LA are much less. Also, the ozone hole is doing better. We have made much progress.

Meow?

That's exactly right. But it is also a function of one's values. The sad reality is that almost no one values truth or genuine unbiased understanding of reality, therefore they are incapable of good thinking. You can't become good at that which you do not value.

I post my best resources in the book list or my blog. But really, Actualized.org is my answer to your question. And I will have many new advanced videos that explain all the traps of thinking and how to think correctly.

No. It involved lots of reading and studying too. And psychecelics. And life experience.

I've been praticing for 25 years and I am insanely intuitive. Without my intuiton I would be totally deluded like everyone else.
