You need to take a long break from all chemicals. Just chill back and learn to operate sober.

I don't focus on that much. But it's possible. Just depends on whether your mind leans in that direction. Insanity and the like.

You guys really don't understand Ralston, so silence would be wise of you.

The one thing that works everywhere is to be highly social and build up a social life. The reason you're not getting girls is because you have no social life. A social life is a thing that needs to built with skill. It can be built in various ways depending on time, place, and culture. There are coaches who can teach you the skills for building a social life. Never tell a girl you love her until you've slept with her many times. A girl needs plenty of time and space before she gets invested in you.

I am. The difference is that I know what exists beyond the human while most humans don't. Other than that I am no better than a human.

One of my pickup friends travels to Coachea and EDC every year just to collect like 100 phone numbers. Then he flies the girls out to sleep with him. The problem with hitting on staff is that if you are a local and visit that place regularly you don't want to burn through them and develop a bad reputation. I never hit on staff at places I'm a regular at. Besides, it's so cliche. It's better to keep a low profile than being "that creepy resident pickup guy".

Having experience != ego. A human baby is like an animal.

Mostly not. The negative stuff that usually comes up for me is not personal but existential in nature.

Consider this: God uses love to manipulate humans, like a carrot on a stick tied to a donkey. God lets you feel a little love for food, for sex, for your children. Why? Because otherwise you wouldn't eat and you wouldn't reproduce and you would abandon your children and mankind would die. But God holds back the really serious love for himself because humans cannot bear it. Humans are like rats chasing bits of cheese while God is an infinite ball of cheese. Dropping that much cheese on a little rat would crush its little bones.

"Humans" "are" somewhere in the grey middle.

That's his role, to keep you in the human dream. He plays it masterfully.

It really depends on who is holding it. There's no such thing as "Buddhism", there are people who hold various ideas, some of which they call Buddhist. There is a huge range of quality in Buddhism. From totally clueless to quite consciousness, and mostly somewhere in between. You really need to evaluate on a person by person basis to get any kind of accuracy. Keep in mind that most Buddhists don't even understand Buddhism.

And what about when she disappears? Why do you still regard her as real? A disappearing mother sounds like a suspicious thing

Well, the trick is that the difference between you, we, and I are imaginary. So that's why it can be spoken of in all those ways. It's various ways to looking at it.

If solipsism is true then everything is relative to your state of consciousness and Rupert Spira is a dream. So no, Rupert Spira cannot save you here. Your mind is going to try to make appeals to other humans and the social domain, but solipsism precludes all that. No spiritual teacher, no spiritual writing can help you here because if solipsism is true then all of that stuff is just an illusion you created to invent other.

Insane understanding of reality is possible, beyond anything every human can conceive of. "To know everything" is a poor way of framing it. I am nowhere close to knowing everything, but I understand some things so deeply that that is good enough. Don't worry about reaching some ulimtiamte final answer, just enjoy the process of understanding reality deeper, in whatever ways interest you. There is no reason to be depressed on this point. All that is part of the understanding process and is good and proper. God-Realization is the point and it's absolutely worth it. No one can disprove Infinity. Infinity is the final answer you seek. But even that isn't a simple final answer. Infinity is a hell of a thing to understand.

This is pure bullshit. Their whole enlightenment and life is a dream. Nobody on this Earth has escape dreaming. Everyone here is dreaming! You are dreaming that psychedelics don't work on you.

I am not saying psychedelics cannot stop working for some people for whatever reasons. Let's geant that can happen. But to claim this as any kind of evidence of high consciousness is wrong. I am sick of spirutual people parroting that Ram Dass LSD story, as if it means anything. It means nothing. And whatever lack of effect psychedelics have on a person means nothing. Someone could claim meditation has no effect on them. And it means nothing.

Exactly.

Spiritual teachers are part of a dream. Spiritual teachers are a relative human notion. Eventually you transcend it. You can become so conscious that you realize you invented all spiritual teachers as part of a hallucination to keep yourself alseep.

No, I mean you.

Like I said, we are dreaming. It contradicts the dreaming. That's not a mistake. You are attempting to understand something beyond the dream from within a dream using socialization. If solipsism is true then you cannot discover it through socializing -- which is what this entire forum is. So the truth being discussed is incompatible with the entire social domain. And when I say we are dreaming, I mean I am dreaming a we because I do not want to be alone. If I wanted to be alone I would just kill myself and be with God. If you really understood solpsism it would threaten your whole life. Which is why no one understands it. You don't want to go that deep.

What humans feel as love stems from a connection or union of identity with a finite thing, and the appreciation of its existence and inherent beauty. Contemplate what human love actually means. What is happening when you love any aspect of reality? Really examine it! What you will eventually realize is that when your appreciation of any aspect of reality reaches a certain height, you will say you love it. But all of that is limited biased selfish human shit. Real Love is to realize that absolutely every aspect of reality is infinitely beautiful and wonderful. And to recognize all of it as your own Mind. When Mind fully recognizes itself, it identifies with everything and falls in Love with itself. This is Love at a metaphysical level. Everything is seen as Love, you are One with everything, everything is your children, everything is infinitely appreciated. The feeling of love that a mother has for her child is simply extended infinitely to all of existence. That's LOVE. The mother's love is just a tiny biased fragment of God's LOVE. When you love a taco dinner, what's really happening is that you are tapping into 0.0000000000000000000001% of God's Love. But you are too unconscious to understand that, so you only see it as some shallow, fleeting human emotion. If you realize that the difference between all the things you love and all the things you hate or feel indifferent to is purely imaginary human bias, you will enter a state of Infinite Love. Because there is no metaphysical difference between a taco dinner, your children, or Hitler. All of them are metaphysically identical. To realize this is one of highest attainments in this work, and it is NOT enlightenment. Enlightenment is horseshit next to this. Most enlightend people do not understand what I said above.

The Infinity of Gods is such an advanced consciousness that it can hardly be discussed. Once your solipsism becomes so total, so deep, the soverignty of your Mind becomes so absolute, you realize that there can be an infinity number of copies of yourself, but you cannot ever access them because it interferes with your own Mind's soveriengty. So you are left with a profound solipsistic not-knowing. The not-knowing of other sovereign Minds. But also, the possibility then opens of somehow knowing them, but you don't know how. If feels like you are on the very edge of Infinity as it sruggles to break out into yet higher Infinities. This process is so staggering that you cannot make sense of it even as you are in it. Infinity is finding new Infinities within itself. And of course, and new Infitities it finds are recognized as being yourself, but this recogniztion happens across time. So first you recognize it as other, then you recognize it as yourself, and so on it goes. God is forever discovering higher dimensions of itself. That's what it really means to be Infinite. As soon as God grasps itself there opens up new possibilities for even higher grasping. As advanced as the realization of solpsism is, there exists something is more advanced which is beyond nonduality and any kind of human comprehension of spirituality.

Everything! I don't discriminate. Most of the stuff I contemplate is survival stuff. There is a lot of profound insight to be had there, and decades-worth of stuff to contemplate. Contemplate whatever you're interested in.
