It's hard to know what you mean by that. But basically, YES. I've had awakenings like that. This ALL has the quality of no form whatsoever, because it is a superposition of all possible things. This would be the Godhead or pure Infinity. You are conscious of every possible thing that could exist at once. But you are not conscious of anything in particular. That ALL is a pure metaphysical abstraction. So don't expect it to have any form. It is not like seeing a billion TV screens at once. It is more like a singularity of pure awareness.

Obviously. But why would anyone expect to predict such a thing? This is why I cannot predict which of you is ready for my teachings. I cannot tell who of you is on the brink of suicide vs who is gonna wake up tomorrow. And I don't bother to care. You are at whatever level you are and only you can decide if a teaching is suitable for you. I can't help a person who isn't ready, just like I can't tell you which food you will like.

Yeah, well, that's the case. Truth cannot be anything other than what it is. You cannot stop existing. You will always exist whether you want to or not. But "trapped" is a bad frame. You are not trapped, you are Absolute Truth, forever. If this causes you some kind of negative feeling then you haven't fully gotten it. It's 100% positive. Full Awakening is 100% positive. So use that as your measure of wokeness. If there's something you dislike about it then you haven't fully gotten it. No sadness, no wanting things to be different or better. It is not possible for anything to be better than Awakening. Awakening is Absolutely The Best.

You have to be extremely careful to distinguish time from change. Change is more real than time. Change is happening and then time is an imaginary construct projected on top of change. Change does not require time, and in fact change happens within Eternity. Every moment is Eternal, but then this Eternity is hidden from your awareness because you imagine a context for the moment which we call time. Time is you imaginig seconds, minutes, days, weeks, years, past, future, etc. This generates an artificial context for Consciousness which would otherwise be Eternal or timeless. But just because it is Eternal and timeless does not mean it doesn't change. It still flows. But the flow is not happening within any context and hence not within time. Time is something the mind constructs and projects onto Consciousness. Likewise with space. Space is a construct, however that does not mean that you cease experiencing a 3D room. The room is still there, but you can strip the room of the projection called space. Time and space are more than mere conceptual constructs. They are constructs of a deeper sort. You are literally dreaming time and space into being. But you can also undream them. Time and space are contexts for Consciousness, which is naturally context-less unless you construct a context for it. What I mean by context is something like: you can imagine that your experience right now is a VR simulation. That would be you creating a context to situate your raw experience. Or you could remove that context and then you would have no idea what your raw experience is. You would just have raw experience, unexplained by anything, not situated in anything. Not in time, not in space, not in a brain, not in a Universe, not even part of a human life. All those are contexts. And Consciousness in its purest form simply has no context of any kind. Or you could say Consciousness is situated in the NULL context. Which is just another way to say Nothingness. Experience is nothing, nowhere, nowhen, nohow, noway.

This is a very problematic frame. It's far too reductionistic. I would say that Jed hasn't even seen the deepest degrees of waking up because he hasn't sufficiently explored Consciousness. Exploring Consciousness is a crucial aspect of Awakening. Awakening cannot be reduced to a binary matter. You can lose your sense of self, but even that comes in degrees and it is not identical to Awakening. Just because you lost your sense of self does not say much about how conscious you are. A cat does not have much sense of ego, but it is nowhere near Awake.

That framing doesn't really apply. There is not a "where" that things are hidden. It's more like you have a TV screen and it can show various images. But when an image isn't shown, it doesn't exist anywhere else. God is a mind that imagines everything around itself in all directions. That's just what reality is: A sovereign mind imagining in 360. You have to drop the idea of an external world where objects or creatures exist by themselves. There simply isn't such a thing. There is only the NOW, but it morphs around.

It's impossible to try everything. When your health is bad it's a labor to try each next thing that fails to work. Randomly throwing stuff at the wall and hoping that something magically sticks is a terrible strategy. You will end up wasting a lot of time and money and get nowhere. I have tried every reasonable thing that had a decent chance of working. I am not gonna go on a wild goose chase, testing every New Age thing under the sun. At some point you have to accept your situation rather than trying to deny it. Genetics are a huge factor that you simply don't control.

Def not the same, but Putin is a dangerous guy. He is not like one of these bumbling American right-wingers. He will seize power and never give it back. American politicians are housecats next to Putin.

My visuals don't get that crazy. But yeah, if you smoke enough of it things get impossibly weird. I have seen geometric objects which simply cannot exist in 3D space. At that point the trip becomes traumatizing to the human psyche. It will scare the shit out of you.

I don't think he would be worse than Trump. Trump was bad but he was no Hitler or Putin.

Showering people with annoying New Agey quotes is not proper education.

I own some Bitcoin. But there is so much crap in the crypto space. Most crypto is literally securities fraud. I do believe Bitcoin has long-term potential. I have posted about crypto on my blog. What I really hate about crypto is the get-rich-quick culture. It's really toxic and harms many naive people. There is a serious lack of integrity in this field. When I say crypto bullshit I mostly mean everything except Bitcoin. I stand by my statement. You just got lucky. You could have just as easily lost all your money. You are not going to get 50% ROI on any serious investment, and to expect that is a recipe for disaster. A lot of people were badly hurt in the crypto crash. I've had fans of my work contact me and tell me they lost their whole life savings and that it ruined them. One of the things I regret is that I did not warn people enough about the dangers of crypto. I should have seen it coming. This was a classic case of mass delusion.

Except in this case it's quite a profound thing. It's rather amazing that something that seems so impossible and silly has not been disproven in 5000 years. Most philosophies are disproven and shown to be wrong within a matter of 100-300 years. This is an important clue.

Very good. But still just the tip of the iceberg of the problems with the epistemology and metaphysics of science.

@zurew Very impressive.

Man, I need to try some datura at some point.

What I said was more like: solipsism can never be disproven. Not a single philosopher has ever disproven solipsism. Which is why they just demonize it instead.

Well, I have a massive book to write, which will be my highest contribution to mankind in the area of philosophy. But then I was thinking of something related to digital art and motion graphics. It's not clear yet how far Actualized.org should go. I cannot predict anything at this point. I have to be open to wherever God directs me.

He is one of the best:

This looks like a uniquely Indian issue which has nothing to do with LGBTQ issues in general. It's more like a pedophilia/sex-trafficking issue.

I looked into that. That particular AP class had some pretty radical "queer theory" in it which seemed unnecessarily political. Again, SJWs do attempt to smuggle in their political theories into the classroom. But I would need to look into it more deeply. I just know that I cannot trust progressives to report accurately on that particular issue. They act like there is zero smuggling of SJW agendas, which I don't think is true. DeSantis did not ban African American studies. This is a very distorted characterization. This makes it seem like he is against teaching African American studies. He is not. What he did was force the makers of that AP program to change their curriculum to remove queer political theory. With that removed, African America studies are allowed. So don't paint him as some kind of racist who wants to ban the teaching of black history. Look, of course I don't agree with many right-wing policies. But I have no worry that DeSantis will be some authoritarian if he becomes President. Yes, he will definitely try to pass right-wing policy. As all Republican Presidents do. And much of that policy will probably be stupid. I have watched it. That's a great movie. I don't remember anything about gender issues in there. But I watched it like 15 years ago.

I would need to see some evidence of this. Sounds absurd.

That's very anecdotal. You cannot deny that SJW activists want their agenda injected into school curriculum. Removing books with gay characters is hardly authoritarianism. Yes, it's a bit stringent. But it's not like these kids cannot go to Amazon and buy whatever books they want. Portraying this as leading to death camps is silly.

He's banning some books that promote homosexuality and gender fluidity. Don't act like this is some kind of Nazi book-burning. Or like DeSantis would issue serious book bans as President. The conservative position in America is quite simple: get LGBTQ ideology out of the minds of youngsters. That is their policy proposal. You can disagree with it, but it is not some authoritarian plot to censor the whole country. It is legitimate to wonder at what age it is appropriate to introduce children to LGBTQ ideas. Please... As if SJWs are not influencing and indoctrinating kids in certain ways. I saw a video clip of a teacher in what looked like kindergarten teaching kids that they don't have to be boys or girls, but anything they want. This is not some absolutely positive thing to teach. These kids will grow up confused as fuck and they will have difficulty dating. Telling a boy that "Maybe you're not a boy" should be concerning to any reasonable parent. It's not grooming, but it is a kind of ideology/worldview, the consequences of which are not entirely obvious yet. It's one thing to teach non-bullying of trans kids, it's another thing to actively tell all kids as a baseline that their gender is fluid and up in the air. If I had a boy in 1st grade, I would not want these LGBTQ activists to be telling him that maybe he's a girl or a they/them. I'm not gonna be calling my 1st grade boy a "they/them". And neither will most parents be cool with that. This will create a generation of pussies who will become miserable incels because no serious woman will want to fuck them.

I think it is not very deep Consciousness, and it doesn't at all convey the breadth that Consciousness has. He's not wrong, but it goes way deeper. And his methods are incapable of getting you to the highest levels of Consciousness. You will not get there through any amount of journaling.
